not_o allege_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o to_o make_v it_o go_v for_o good_a but_o see_v our_o lord_n have_v speak_v it_o we_o must_v hold_v we_o simple_o to_o his_o word_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o now_o remain_v to_o mark_v the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o that_o place_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v lay_v up_o god_n doctrine_n as_o a_o treasure_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o unless_o it_o be_v lay_v up_o after_o that_o manner_n it_o will_v never_o take_v lively_a root_n according_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o that_o will_v be_v move_v when_o they_o hear_v god_n speak_v of_o and_o be_v somewhat_o well_o dispose_v howbeit_o that_o disposition_n be_v not_o thorough_o plant_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o appear_v in_o they_o for_o a_o time_n vanish_v away_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o we_o have_v never_o profit_v well_o in_o god_n school_n till_o his_o word_n be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o be_v too_o say_v till_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o with_o such_o a_o mind_n as_o it_o be_v not_o a_o flightful_a motion_n to_o allow_v or_o like_v well_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v we_o but_o a_o hearty_a affection_n settle_v upon_o it_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v oftentimes_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a for_o although_o we_o have_v satisfy_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o man_n think_v we_o to_o be_v utter_o faultless_a yet_o may_v god_n just_o refuse_v all_o this_o goodly_a outward_a show_n wherein_o man_n soothe_v we_o if_o the_o heart_n go_v not_o afore_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v this_o say_n in_o mind_n that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v up_o god_n word_n and_o how_o not_o to_o bury_v it_o for_o if_o we_o believe_v with_o our_o heart_n unto_o righteousness_n we_o must_v also_o confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n that_o we_o may_v be_v safe_a then_o must_v god_n word_n show_v itself_o for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o so_o man_n may_v think_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o good_a work_v which_o the_o faithful_a do_v must_v first_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o say_v hearty_a affection_n and_o not_o of_o any_o flightful_a and_o inconstant_a motion_n furthermore_o the_o word_n lie_v up_o will_v be_v well_o enough_o understand_v if_o we_o take_v the_o similitude_n of_o a_o treasure_n and_o apply_v it_o also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v when_o he_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v well_o store_v of_o thing_n he_o may_v fetch_v forth_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v need_n of_o both_o for_o his_o own_o household_n and_o also_o for_o other_o man_n use_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v so_o niggardly_o that_o when_o he_o have_v his_o chest_n full_a of_o money_n and_o his_o garner_n and_o cellar_n thorough_o store_v he_o will_v both_o starve_v himself_o and_o not_o relieve_v any_o other_o body_n will_v man_n say_v that_o such_o a_o one_o know_v too_o what_o purpose_n it_o serve_v to_o be_v rich_fw-fr no_o but_o he_o be_v a_o stark_a beast_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o hoard_v must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v use_v it_o discrete_o according_a as_o the_o case_n shall_v require_v and_o when_o we_o have_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n lay_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v not_o only_o profit_a ourselves_o by_o it_o but_o also_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n yea_o and_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o a_o good_a conscience_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o the_o say_a text_n that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v learn_v in_o god_n word_n we_o must_v not_o only_o conceive_v some_o opinion_n of_o it_o in_o our_o brain_n but_o we_o must_v lay_v it_o up_o diligent_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o a_o inestimable_a treasure_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o job_n add_v he_o say_v that_o if_o god_n be_v mind_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n no_o man_n shall_v turn_v he_o from_o it_o this_o be_v still_o a_o continue_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v in_o hand_n namely_o that_o god_n use_v a_o absolute_a power_n against_o he_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o to_o obtain_v his_o right_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o this_o be_v overmuch_o for_o although_o job_n know_v that_o god_n punish_v he_o not_o for_o his_o sin_n yet_o ought_v he_o too_o have_v be_v full_o resolve_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o unpartial_a in_o all_o his_o do_n but_o he_o surmise_v a_o lawless_a power_n that_o have_v neither_o rule_v nor_o measure_n with_o it_o wherein_o he_o do_v god_n wrong_v nevertheless_o the_o sentence_n be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v apply_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v namely_o that_o god_n be_v always_o at_o one_o point_n or_o in_o one_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v constant_a and_o unvariable_a and_o can_v be_v turn_v one_o way_n or_o other_o according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o even_a balaam_n the_o liar_n be_v enforce_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v not_o like_a man_n who_o change_n their_o mind_n and_o be_v variable_a and_o inconstant_a have_v he_o say_v any_o thing_n say_v balaam_n which_o he_o perform_v not_o so_o this_o doctrine_n of_o itself_o be_v good_a and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v full_a of_o that_o matter_n but_o now_o must_v we_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o instruction_n it_o serve_v to_o two_o purpose_n the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v speak_v a_o thing_n and_o promise_v to_o be_v merciful_a and_o favourable_a to_o we_o and_o to_o succour_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n we_o must_v steadfast_o believe_v it_o and_o rest_n upon_o it_o without_o any_o doubt_v whither_o he_o will_v perform_v his_o promise_n or_o no._n why_o for_o his_o truth_n be_v infallible_a likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o he_o threaten_v we_o we_o must_v tremble_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dally_v with_o such_o a_o master_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o end_n all_o the_o thing_n tend_v that_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v god_n constancy_n and_o steadfastness_n in_o execute_v his_o determination_n we_o know_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o mind_n unto_o we_o when_o he_o avouch_v himself_o to_o be_v pitiful_a and_o that_o he_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n do_v so_o call_v we_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v not_o to_o beguile_v we_o and_o too_o foade_v we_o with_o some_o vain_a hope_n and_o therefore_o inasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v such_o assurance_n of_o his_o good_a will_n let_v we_o bold_o stay_v and_o rest_v thereupon_o and_o why_o for_o he_o change_v not_o though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v make_v suit_n to_o he_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o cause_v he_o too_o alter_v his_o mind_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o may_v glory_v against_o all_o that_o the_o devil_n can_v devise_v or_o practice_v yea_o and_o although_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a world_n bend_v against_o god_n promise_n yet_o shall_v we_o nevertheless_o be_v always_o at_o rest_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a ghost_n arm_v the_o faithful_a with_o such_o trust_n and_o teach_v they_o too_o defy_v all_o their_o enemy_n goto_n say_v he_o lie_v your_o head_n together_o and_o do_v the_o worst_a you_o can_v yet_o shall_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n again_o he_o say_v he_o will_v be_v near_o at_o hand_n too_o we_o and_o that_o when_o the_o devil_n and_o man_n have_v practise_v their_o uttermost_a against_o we_o he_o will_v beat_v down_o all_o their_o defence_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o may_v despise_v all_o that_o our_o enemy_n can_v practice_v or_o devise_v and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o end_n they_o can_v withstand_v god_n nor_o let_v he_o too_o perfourine_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n concern_v the_o steadfastness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n also_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v his_o threaten_n so_o that_o if_o he_o rebuke_v our_o vice_n and_o be_v so_o good_a too_o we_o as_o to_o warn_v we_o of_o they_o let_v we_o not_o stand_v unamendable_a in_o our_o misdo_n but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o humble_v himself_o and_o look_v well_o about_o he_o and_o with_o all_o carefulness_n endeavour_n too_o prevent_v the_o curse_n which_o god_n have_v tell_v we_o of_o for_o to_o that_o
man_n ordinary_a live_n or_o provision_n because_o it_o be_v a_o parcel_n of_o the_o law_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v lay_v for_o his_o live_n for_o he_o must_v not_o eat_v so_o much_o as_o to_o burst_v himself_o in_o one_o day_n but_o he_o must_v take_v his_o portion_n too_o his_o nourishment_n and_o sustenance_n and_o content_v himself_o with_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o this_o word_n be_v also_o take_v for_o every_o man_n ordinary_a live_n or_o provision_n and_o either_o of_o both_o way_n may_v stand_v very_o well_o what_o be_v it_o then_o that_o job_n mean_v here_o he_o mean_v that_o god_n word_n be_v a_o treasure_n of_o more_o estimation_n unto_o he_o than_o all_o the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n what_o thing_n be_v dear_a unto_o man_n than_o their_o nourishment_n for_o as_o we_o love_v our_o life_n so_o do_v we_o also_o endeavour_n to_o provide_v necessary_n for_o the_o same_o if_o we_o want_v bread_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o to_o we_o how_o be_v we_o dismay_v at_o it_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o man_n have_v great_a care_n too_o maintain_v their_o live_n job_n in_o prefer_v god_n word_n before_o his_o sustenance_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v show_v thereby_o that_o he_o make_v not_o so_o great_a account_n of_o this_o present_a life_n as_o of_o earnestness_n in_o obey_v god_n and_o that_o he_o have_v much_o lever_n to_o be_v teach_v by_o his_o word_n than_o to_o be_v feed_v with_o the_o best_a meat_n in_o the_o world_n hereof_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o good_a admonition_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v desirous_a to_o live_v and_o not_o only_o desirous_a but_o also_o mad_a of_o it_o so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o measure_n nor_o stay_v in_o they_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o wot_v not_o to_o what_o end_n they_o live_v nor_o why_o they_o desire_v life_n for_o they_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o god_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o mark_v what_o be_v say_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n must_v be_v always_o to_o serve_v our_o god_n and_o too_o dedicate_v ourselves_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o be_v consirm_v more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n whereunto_o he_o call_v we_o that_o be_v the_o point_n whereunto_o we_o must_v apply_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o endeavour_n and_o if_o we_o do_v so_o it_o will_v follow_v immediate_o that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v god_n doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a food_n of_o our_o soul_n before_o all_o the_o foode_n that_o we_o can_v wish_v for_o our_o body_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v feed_v with_o bread_n &_o water_n yea_o or_o with_o wine_n &_o all_o other_o the_o dilicate_a meat_n and_o dainty_n that_o can_v be_v devise_v what_o be_v that_o too_o the_o purpose_n if_o our_o soul_n be_v starve_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n ox_n ass_n and_o horse_n shall_v be_v in_o better_a &_o more_o excellent_a state_n than_o we_o so_o they_o let_v

for_o they_o to_o give_v themselves_o too_o god_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v put_v a_o french_a hood_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o calf_n or_o a_o cow_n which_o be_v not_o

but_o to_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o blaspheme_v god_n it_o will_v as_o yet_o go_v against_o our_o nature_n but_o when_o we_o have_v thus_o fret_v and_o chafe_v at_o it_o if_o the_o misery_n

we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v we_o many_o good_a turn_n and_o shall_v we_o endure_v no_o evil_a at_o his_o hand_n when_o it_o please_v he_o aught_v not_o he_o to_o have_v superiority_n over_o we_o

many_o trouble_n thus_o we_o see_v brief_o what_o be_v contain_v here_o very_o job_n intent_n be_v not_o too_o plead_v against_o god_n as_o if_o he_o will_v go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n the_o grief_n that_o he_o sustain_v carry_v he_o so_o farforth_o that_o these_o complaint_n pass_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n how_o now_o wherefore_o have_v god_n set_v we_o in_o this_o world_n be_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v bliss_n he_o because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o have_v a_o

point_n it_o seem_v that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o name_n to_o be_v blaspheme_v what_o can_v they_o do_v who_o he_o handle_v so_o rigorous_o when_o they_o see_v death_n before_o their_o eye_n or_o rather_o have_v it_o between_o their_o tooth_n they_o can_v not_o but_o fret_v and_o chafe_v at_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v a_o occasion_n of_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o here_o we_o have_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o give_v we_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o affliction_n we_o may_v still_o praise_v he_o and_o rejoice_v in_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o restrain_v our_o joy_n &_o turn_v they_o into_o bitterness_n but_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o blessing_n of_o god_n name_n and_o blaspheme_v of_o it_o which_o mean_a be_v to_o call_v upon_o he_o when_o we_o be_v oppress_v with_o adversity_n and_o to_o resort_v unto_o he_o desire_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o unto_o mercy_n but_o man_n can_v never_o keep_v this_o mean_a except_o god_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o it_o of_o himself_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o whensoever_o god_n send_v we_o any_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o make_v we_o taste_v of_o his_o goodness_n therewithal_o to_o assuage_v the_o anguish_n that_o may_v hold_v our_o heart_n in_o distress_n how_o be_v that_o we_o have_v show_v heretofore_o that_o if_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n former_a benefit_n towards_o they_o yea_o though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o that_o he_o have_v sustain_v they_o from_o their_o childhood_n after_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o their_o mother_n womb_n and_o give_v they_o life_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o comfort_v they_o even_o when_o they_o be_v overload_v with_o despair_n and_o to_o make_v they_o think_v may_v not_o god_n punish_v we_o just_o for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o bear_v patient_o the_o adversity_n that_o he_o send_v and_o nature_n teach_v we_o so_o to_o do_v forasmuch_o as_o he_o bestow_v so_o many_o
sturdy_a against_o he_o and_o contrariwise_o that_o such_o as_o trust_v in_o he_o shall_v be_v hedge_v in_o with_o mercy_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o god_n will_v on_o all_o side_n bless_v they_o and_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v we_o see_v here_o a_o princely_a promise_n which_o seem_v to_o exempt_a god_n child_n from_o all_o adversity_n but_o yet_o it_o behove_v we_o so_o to_o expound_v these_o say_a promise_n as_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v how_o god_n will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o preserver_n of_o his_o servant_n by_o draw_v they_o from_o their_o grave_n so_o then_o if_o god_n hedge_v we_o in_o with_o his_o mercy_n it_o be_v not_o to_o make_v we_o cockney_n so_o as_o no_o adversity_n shall_v touch_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v needy_a so_o as_o we_o shall_v feel_v no_o scarcity_n or_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v any_o grief_n god_n mind_v not_o to_o use_v such_o manner_n of_o deal_v for_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o we_o but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o pass_v through_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v through_o all_o kind_n of_o misery_n and_o to_o be_v so_o distress_v as_o we_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v and_o hereupon_o he_o will_v remedy_v our_o necessity_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v how_o it_o be_v he_o to_o who_o we_o be_v behold_v for_o our_o welfare_n thus_o we_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n our_o lord_n work_v also_o let_v we_o note_v that_o too_o judge_v well_o it_o behove_v to_o bear_v this_o point_n always_o in_o mind_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n not_o only_o that_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o be_v the_o worst_a sort_n but_o also_o that_o he_o exercise_v the_o patience_n of_o his_o faithful_a one_o scourge_v they_o and_o handle_v they_o far_o more_o rough_o than_o he_o do_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o issue_n as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o let_v we_o not_o marvel_v though_o we_o see_v not_o god_n help_v at_o the_o first_o day_n lo_o here_o the_o principle_n which_o we_o must_v lay_v before_o we_o that_o we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o make_v our_o own_o profit_n by_o that_o which_o be_v recite_v to_o we_o here_o as_o touch_v the_o word_n that_o eliphas_n use_v they_o be_v these_o if_o a_o man_n attempt_v talk_n or_o if_o a_o man_n raise_v talk_n for_o as_o well_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o may_v be_v speak_v because_o the_o hebrew_n wordhath_fw-mi a_o double_a signification_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o hebrew_n word_n which_o be_v put_v here_o for_o talk_n or_o speech_n be_v sometime_o take_v also_o for_o a_o thing_n some_o understand_v it_o thus_o if_o god_n tempt_v thou_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o thou_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o patience_n be_v it_o meet_v that_o thou_o shall_v be_v so_o sore_o move_v for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o scripture_n term_v it_o a_o temptation_n when_o we_o be_v trouble_v and_o when_o god_n try_v we_o after_o what_o manner_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v so_o then_o the_o mean_a shall_v be_v such_o as_o this_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o thou_o shall_v repine_v against_o god_n when_o thou_o see_v that_o he_o try_v and_o tempt_v thou_o that_o be_v too_o say_v when_o thou_o see_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o prove_v what_o be_v in_o thou_o but_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v thorough_o consider_v the_o natural_a meaning_n be_v if_o a_o man_n assay_v or_o atumpt_v too_o speak_v and_o why_o so_o for_o eliphas_n add_v immediate_o and_o who_o be_v be_v that_o can_v withhold_v himself_o from_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o square_n against_o all_o reason_n that_o man_n must_v needs_o find_v fault_n with_o thou_o and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o mild_a man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o rebuke_v thou_o if_o he_o see_v thy_o outrageousness_n and_o thy_o behave_v of_o thyself_o here_o like_o a_o sauge_n beast_n therefore_o thou_o must_v be_v restrain_v for_o thou_o will_v enforce_v the_o meek_a man_n alive_a too_o speak_v lo_o here_o the_o plain_a meaning_n but_o in_o effect_n eliphassis_fw-la mind_n be_v too_o show_v that_o job_n have_v not_o walk_v aright_o nor_o with_o a_o clear_a conscience_n before_o god_n lo_o here_o the_o first_o point_n afterwards_o he_o enter_v into_o this_o general_a argument_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o righteous_a be_v never_o oppress_v in_o that_o wise_a with_o affliction_n but_o that_o it_o be_v always_o a_o token_n of_o god_n vengeance_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o perceive_v that_o job_n be_v torment_v in_o this_o wise_n he_o deem_v he_o to_o be_v a_o reprobate_a person_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o two_o point_n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o the_o first_o of_o they_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o thou_o beeâ—etofore_o baste_v teach_v the_o whole_a world_n thou_o baste_v strengthen_v the_o quiver_a knee_n thou_o have_v refresh_v the_o weary_a hand_n thou_o baste_v amond_v such_o as_o do_v amiss_o thou_o have_v comfort_v such_o as_o be_v torment_v and_o now_o when_o the_o misery_n be_v come_v upon_o thyself_o i_o see_v thou_o be_v out_o of_o quiet_a and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n which_o thou_o have_v have_v be_v no_o more_o but_o the_o very_a same_o hope_n which_o thou_o pretend_v namely_o that_o god_n shall_v always_o have_v be_v favourable_a unto_o thou_o too_o be_v short_a thou_o haste_v serve_v god_n upon_o usury_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o thou_o do_v give_v over_o thyself_o unto_o he_o in_o good_a earnest_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o thou_o do_v hope_v he_o will_v always_o have_v be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o and_o so_o long_o thou_o can_v well_o find_v in_o thine_o heart_n to_o serve_v he_o but_o now_o that_o thou_o seele_v he_o somewhat_o rough_a thou_o renounce_v his_o service_n whereby_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perceive_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o hypocrisy_n in_o thou_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n the_o whole_a ground_n of_o the_o discourse_n that_o eliphas_n make_v here_o but_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o mark_v not_o what_o be_v in_o ourselves_o when_o we_o either_o counsel_n other_o man_n or_o comfort_v they_o or_o rebuke_v they_o every_o man_n can_v do_v that_o yea_o even_o the_o most_o idiot_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o a_o common_a proverb_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o they_o that_o be_v in_o health_n too_o comsort_v such_o as_o be_v disease_v but_o if_o we_o can_v show_v by_o our_o own_o do_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o speak_v unto_o other_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o speak_v it_o from_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v a_o true_a proof_n that_o we_o deal_v not_o deceitful_o we_o shall_v see_v diverse_a that_o be_v as_o eloquent_a and_o more_o eloquent_a than_o need_v and_o which_o can_v babble_v so_o well_o too_o the_o purpose_n as_o you_o will_v wonder_v and_o they_o never_o want_v tongue_n if_o it_o be_v but_o too_o prattle_v but_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o god_n do_v but_o fillip_v they_o with_o his_o finger_n end_n they_o wot_v not_o what_o comfort_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o mean_v what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o when_o we_o speak_v too_o our_o neighbour_n let_v we_o show_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o speak_v unto_o they_o with_o our_o mouth_n be_v thorough_o ground_v in_o our_o heart_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o proceed_v yet_o be_v it_o not_o mean_v hereby_o that_o we_o shall_v cease_v to_o comfort_v and_o encourage_v our_o neighbour_n &_o to_o reprove_v one_o another_o for_o they_o that_o pass_v not_o to_o chastise_v such_o as_o do_v amiss_o and_o to_o comfort_v such_o as_o be_v in_o heaviness_n and_o to_o reform_v such_o as_o go_v astray_o show_v themselves_o to_o have_v no_o care_n neither_o of_o god_n nor_o of_o his_o service_n for_o if_o we_o love_v god_n with_o a_o right_a affection_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o much_o as_o in_o usly_v we_o will_v seek_v that_o all_o man_n may_v do_v the_o like_a a_o true_a christian_a will_v not_o content_v himself_o too_o walk_v aright_o but_o he_o will_v do_v his_o best_a too_o draw_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o the_o same_o accord_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o put_v that_o thing_n in_o ure_n which_o saint_n paul_n also_o show_v we_o of_o teach_v and_o reform_v one_o another_o but_o as_o i_o say_v we_o must_v do_v it_o from_o our_o heart_n and_o how_o be_v that_o very_o that_o when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o trial_n we_o may_v show_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o we_o have_v not_o speak_v from_o the_o tooth_n
tooth_n outward_a and_o therefore_o a_o man_n never_o honour_v god_n in_o good_a earnest_n unless_o he_o be_v confound_v in_o himself_o for_o the_o matter_n consist_v not_o altogether_o in_o say_v that_o god_n must_v be_v superior_a over_o we_o and_o we_o subject_a to_o he_o as_o all_o other_o creature_n be_v but_o we_o must_v yield_v he_o this_o honour_n which_o be_v specify_v here_o namely_o that_o he_o only_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o in_o we_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v have_v our_o mouth_n shut_v and_o be_v

too_o be_v cast_v away_o as_o stinâ—â—ng_v and_o curse_a creature_n if_o we_o be_v not_o come_v too_o this_o point_n it_o be_v no_o honour_v nor_o serve_v of_o god_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n

be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n afflict_v his_o servant_n and_o press_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o bring_v they_o to_o this_o point_n too_o the_o end_n he_o may_v be_v glorify_v in_o they_o as_o touch_v that_o he_o say_v that_o his_o word_n be_v swallow_v up_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o rhetorical_o as_o we_o see_v some_o man_n

that_o he_o have_v no_o more_o have_v the_o voice_n of_o a_o man_n to_o utter_v his_o conceit_n but_o have_v be_v so_o shut_v up_o that_o time_n in_o sorrow_n that_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o

will_v send_v a_o end_n of_o it_o according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o he_o speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n when_o he_o command_v he_o to_o comfort_v his_o people_n thou_o appoint_v time_n say_v he_o be_v at_o a_o end_n he_o speak_v there_o of_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o although_o he_o scourge_v his_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n yet_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o consume_v they_o utter_o but_o keep_v a_o measure_n in_o his_o correction_n that_o anon_o after_o they_o may_v have_v some_o release_n and_o know_v that_o god_n have_v have_v pity_n of_o

all_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v adversity_n here_o howbeit_o god_n will_v not_o prolong_v they_o beyond_o their_o appoint_a time_n but_o sooth_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o this_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n though_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o it_o and_o even_o the_o heathen_a man_n ay_o meene_z even_o the_o most_o brutish_a of_o they_o have_v always_o have_v their_o recourse_n too_o that_o point_n for_o in_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o can_v befall_v they_o they_o comfort_v themselves_o therewith_o say_v well_o there_o be_v no_o misery_n so_o great_a but_o it_o have_v a_o end_n see_v i_o pray_v you_o how_o they_o measure_v their_o passion_n it_o seem_v then_o to_o be_v a_o superfluous_a doctrine_n when_o god_n to_o comfort_v we_o with_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n foreset_v too_o man_n and_o that_o their_o day_n be_v as_o the_o day_n of_o a_o hireling_n howbeit_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o whatsoever_o man_n

never_o escape_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o rest_n we_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o say_v that_o when_o adversity_n be_v great_a and_o sharp_a they_o be_v not_o of_o long_a continuance_n but_o if_o god_n summon_v we_o afore_o he_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v our_o sin_n his_o justice_n be_v so_o dreadful_a to_o we_o as_o behold_v we_o be_v inclose_v round_o about_o with_o a_o maze_n whereoutof_o we_o see_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o will_v make_v we_o go_v every_o day_n deep_o into_o it_o than_o other_o you_o see_v then_o how_o man_n be_v astony_v when_o god_n justice_n touch_v they_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behooveful_a for_o we_o be_v this_o doctrine_n when_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o must_v pass_v through_o many_o misery_n while_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n we_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o our_o life_n be_v transitory_a and_o so_o shall_v it_o not_o grieve_v we_o to_o be_v under_o such_o a_o state_n see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v appoint_v aforehand_o and_o afterward_o if_o god_n chastise_v we_o if_o he_o send_v we_o any_o affliction_n well_o he_o press_v we_o now_o but_o it_o will_v not_o last_v so_o for_o ever_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o hold_v out_o overlong_o &_o therefore_o he_o keep_v measure_n for_o he_o know_v what_o be_v convenient_a for_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o abide_v patient_o till_o he_o deliver_v we_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v of_o such_o hope_n very_o if_o every_o of_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o himself_o we_o shall_v find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v very_o great_a need_n to_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o this_o gear_n for_o although_o we_o know_v it_o yet_o we_o forget_v it_o and_o

without_o cease_v we_o ask_v shall_v we_o always_o be_v new_a to_o begin_v again_o will_v there_o never_o be_v end_n of_o
even_o till_o he_o have_v take_v we_o up_o into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n to_o continue_v with_o he_o for_o ever_o and_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o that_o whereas_o we_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n so_o many_o way_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o too_o continue_v stubborn_a in_o our_o vice_n

afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o job_n friend_n undertake_v a_o evil_a case_n have_v notwithstanding_o good_a argument_n &_o good_a reason_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o misapply_v they_o nevertheless_o the_o doctrine_n be_v in_o itself_o both_o holy_a &_o profitable_a so_o if_o we_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v speak_v here_o we_o shall_v find_v good_a sentence_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o baldad_n pretend_v be_v to_o maintain_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o punish_v man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o and_o without_o question_n all_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o only_o good_a but_o also_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o other_o fault_n in_o it_o but_o that_o baldad_n will_v needs_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o person_n of_o job._n for_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o the_o intent_n of_o that_o holy_a man_n be_v not_o too_o blame_v god_n nor_o too_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o he_o but_o he_o make_v his_o moan_n that_o the_o misery_n which_o he_o have_v endure_v be_v to_o grievous_a and_o heavy_a for_o he_o consider_v his_o feebleness_n &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o glorify_v god_n still_o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o baldad_n have_v a_o evil_a case_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o here_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a &_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o because_o it_o be_v fit_v for_o our_o edification_n like_a as_o when_o he_o say_v that_o such_o as_o plead_v after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n do_v turmoil_n themselves_o like_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o air_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v leave_v the_o person_n of_o job_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v contain_v here_o we_o hear_v how_o the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n do_v spew_v out_o their_o blasphemy_n in_o rail_v at_o god_n justice_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o shall_v thunder_v and_o lighten_v but_o what_o all_o their_o word_n be_v but_o wind_n and_o they_o wash_v away_o and_o they_o can_v not_o reach_v so_o high_a with_o they_o as_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n show_v itself_o therein_o and_o so_o in_o this_o sentence_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o that_o when_o we_o hear_v these_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n we_o must_v not_o be_v dismay_v therefore_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o glorify_v god_n for_o he_o continue_v whole_a and_o sound_o as_o he_o be_v and_o man_n can_v abate_v his_o majesty_n though_o they_o rail_v at_o it_o with_o full_a mouth_n all_o be_v but_o wind_n and_o vanity_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n as_o touch_v the_o second_o let_v every_o of_o we_o learn_v to_o speak_v of_o god_n sober_o and_o with_o all_o reverence_n and_o humbleness_n so_o as_o we_o cast_v not_o forth_o such_o a_o wind_n as_o be_v mention_v here_o for_o although_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o prejudice_n god_n by_o any_o manner_n of_o mean_n yet_o will_v not_o he_o fail_v to_o take_v vengeance_n of_o they_o that_o endeavour_n too_o lift_v up_o themselves_o after_o that_o sort_n against_o he_o by_o cast_v for_o the_o proud_a and_o presumptuous_a word_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o if_o we_o have_v once_o settle_v that_o thing_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v we_o the_o same_o will_v hold_v we_o in_o true_a steadfastness_n and_o afterward_o when_o we_o speak_v after_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o cast_v forth_o goodly_a blast_n but_o god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v and_o magnify_v in_o all_o our_o talk_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o for_o the_o principal_a will_v god_n pervert_v judgement_n and_o right_a will_v the_o almighty_a overthrow_n justice_n here_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o yield_v god_n the_o honour_n of_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o equity_n and_o right_n and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o rightful_a some_o can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o to_o be_v righteous_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o the_o one_o of_o they_o must_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o other_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v thing_n in_o god_n which_o can_v be_v divide_v one_o from_o another_o true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o goodness_n and_o the_o justice_n and_o the_o almightiness_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v god_n all_o these_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o he_o at_o once_o and_o they_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v himself_o or_o his_o very_a be_v then_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o be_v surmise_v not_o a_o lawless_a power_n in_o god_n as_o if_o he_o govern_v the_o world_n like_o a_o tyrant_n and_o use_v excess_n or_o cruelty_n but_o let_v we_o understand_v whereas_o he_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o be_v of_o endless_a power_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v righteous_a it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v partly_o hide_v from_o we_o so_o as_o we_o comprehend_v it_o not_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o his_o mightiness_n also_o and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o be_v we_o able_a to_o measure_v it_o by_o our_o with_o and_o understanding_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v speak_v of_o god_n righteousness_n and_o justice_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o same_o be_v not_o full_o know_v and_o manifest_a unto_o we_o yet_o we_o must_v honour_v and_o reverence_v it_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o device_n be_v a_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o that_o he_o dwell_v in_o unapproachable_a light_n so_o as_o we_o can_v reach_v so_o high_a
before_o job_n treat_v of_o god_n secret_a judgement_n which_o man_n can_v not_o reach_v unto_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o same_o do_v far_o pass_v his_o understanding_n and_o wit._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o call_v god_n marvelous_a true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v god_n law_n strange_a because_o it_o waken_v we_o up_o beyond_o our_o imagination_n and_o we_o ourselves_o also_o see_v that_o when_o the_o wise_a man_n do_v speak_v of_o soundness_n and_o perfection_n they_o come_v short_a of_o the_o rigour_n of_o god_n law_n also_o when_o god_n teach_v we_o by_o his_o word_n he_o do_v it_o still_o above_o our_o ordinary_a capacity_n but_o when_o we_o have_v once_o be_v teach_v to_o know_v how_o the_o matter_n go_v we_o be_v full_o convict_v that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o god_n have_v lay_v the_o bridle_n loose_a in_o our_o neck_n so_o as_o we_o have_v not_o be_v at_o his_o school_n to_o learn_v his_o will_n by_o his_o law_n we_o be_v well_o near_o as_o good_a as_o brute_n beast_n in_o that_o behalf_n but_o when_o we_o once_o know_v that_o a_o man_n must_v love_v god_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n with_o all_o his_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o his_o strength_n and_o his_o neiboure_n as_o himself_o then_o if_o we_o see_v that_o god_n require_v nothing_o at_o our_o hand_n but_o that_o which_o we_o owe_v he_o and_o why_o for_o we_o be_v his_o and_o we_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v not_o receive_v of_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o strange_a if_o we_o refer_v all_o to_o god_n word_n but_o contrariwise_o that_o all_o god_n do_n be_v according_a to_o reason_n and_o equity_n but_o when_o we_o come_v once_o to_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v unknown_a to_o say_v that_o although_o we_o

to_o we_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o wonderful_a we_o will_v always_o have_v our_o wit_n entangle_v in_o many_o question_n and_o in_o the_o end_n we_o will_v spew_v out_o blasphemy_n as_o we_o see_v

after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v be_v withdraw_v into_o ourselves_o and_o every_o man_n have_v his_o eye_n upon_o god_n above_o as_o if_o we_o be_v there_o before_o he_o thus_o much_o then_o concern_v these_o word_n of_o lift_v up_o our_o hand_n and_o by_o and_o by_o after_o zophar_n come_v down_o to_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n and_o say_v that_o we_o must_v put_v away_o

then_o call_v upon_o god_n have_v we_o protest_v that_o it_o be_v he_o only_o at_o who_o hand_n we_o look_v for_o salvation_n and_o all_o welfare_n have_v we_o glorify_v he_o as_o become_v we_o then_o there_o remain_v that_o we_o communicate_v with_o our_o neighbour_n also_o without_o do_v any_o man_n wrong_v so_o as_o no_o man_n may_v complain_v that_o we_o have_v put_v he_o to_o loss_n or_o

thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o bestow_v all_o good_a thing_n upon_o we_o that_o we_o can_v desire_v and_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o our_o salvation_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n do_v willing_o bear_v with_o themselves_o yea_o and_o that_o to_o excuse_v ourselves_o in_o evil_a do_v we_o seek_v so_o many_o shift_n and_o start_a hole_n as_o it_o be_v horrible_a to_o behold_v it_o be_v say_v that_o misdeal_a must_v be_v chaze_v &_o banish_v out_o of_o their_o tent_n that_o be_v to_o say_v man_n must_v not_o only_o do_v none_o evil_n direct_o so_o as_o it_o may_v he_o cast_v in_o his_o tooth_n to_o his_o shame_n but_o also_o he_o must_v beware_v that_o none_o evil_a be_v do_v under_o his_o shadow_n as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o be_v the_o

by_o overthwart_a mean_n or_o by_o wicked_a deal_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v precise_o add_v that_o misdeal_a must_v not_o dwell_v in_o our_o tent_n and_o now_o have_v we_o in_o effect_n that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o but_o now_o remain_v that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o think_v better_o of_o it_o than_o we_o have_v do_v for_o this_o doctrine_n consist_v not_o in_o word_n but_o must_v be_v put_v in_o ure_n by_o every_o man_n and_o every_o of_o we_o must_v think_v upon_o it_o thorough_o there_o be_v nothing_o here_o which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v very_o common_a and_o familiar_a to_o we_o and_o why_o then_o be_v we_o so_o far_o off_o from_o it_o even_o because_o the_o more_o part_n of_o we_o be_v content_v to_o hear_v speak_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o leave_v the_o chief_a point_n of_o it_o to_o the_o intent_n therefore_o that_o we_o may_v be_v touch_v the_o better_a &_o the_o more_o to_o the_o quick_a let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o the_o bush_n with_o god_n but_o keep_v the_o right_a way_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o my_o say_n of_o this_o be_v to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o all_o the_o superstition_n &_o fond_a ape_n toy_n wherewith_o man_n beguile_v themselves_o too_o too_o wilful_o for_o as_o for_o these_o general_a principle_n man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o confess_v they_o well-enough_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v honour_v and_o serve_v and_o that_o without_o we_o do_v so_o he_o will_v curse_v we_o and_o cast_v we_o away_o and_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o he_o punish_v we_o and_o consume_v we_o with_o adversity_n in_o this_o world_n for_o see_v that_o we_o work_v spite_n against_o god_n must_v not_o he_o needs_o overwhelm_v we_o every_o man_n say_v i_o will_v well_o confess_v this_o again_o for_o the_o second_o point_n it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o when_o we_o turn_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o if_o we_o serve_v he_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o will_v not_o deal_v so_o hardly_o with_o we_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v he_o by_o experience_n to_o be_v both_o a_o father_n and_o saviour_n to_o we_o man_n will_v well_o enough_o say_v so_o but_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o deed_n do_v it_o will_v be_v well_o perceive_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n in_o all_o these_o goodly_a protestation_n and_o that_o man_n be_v very_o far_o of_o from_o god_n so_o long_o as_o they_o think_v to_o content_v he_o with_o their_o fond_a fancy_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o the_o true_a turn_v which_o god_n allow_v be_v not_o a_o torment_a of_o a_o man_n self_n in_o vain_a and_o superfluous_a thing_n but_o a_o come_n unto_o he_o with_o a_o rightmeen_a soundness_n but_o let_v we_o now_o look_v upon_o the_o lurkinghole_n of_o our_o heart_n i_o say_v let_v every_o man_n examine_v what_o be_v in_o himself_o let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o too_o make_v ourselves_o believe_v that_o black_a be_v white_a for_o we_o shall_v win_v nothing_o by_o so_o do_v see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v so_o many_o startinghole_n in_o ourselves_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o fight_v against_o they_o for_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o have_v a_o clear_a heart_n and_o such_o a_o soundness_n as_o god_n require_v when_o man_n have_v endeavour_v themselves_o thereunto_o all_o their_o time_n it_o be_v much_o if_o they_o come_v to_o the_o mid_n of_o their_o journey_n before_o they_o die_v yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v travel_v still_o and_o desire_v god_n to_o strengthen_v we_o that_o we_o may_v compass_v our_o intent_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n mark_v that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o for_o the_o bring_v hereof_o to_o pass_v let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v angry_a with_o ourselves_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o feel_v any_o hypocrisy_n or_o feynednesse_n in_o ourselves_o for_o if_o every_o

we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n have_v not_o promise_v the_o faithful_a such_o a_o prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n as_o shall_v be_v utter_o exempt_v from_o all_o the_o ordinary_a trouble_n whereunto_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_n but_o all_o such_o promise_n of_o god_n serve_v to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o common_o god_n will_v make_v they_o too_o prosper_v which_o walk_n in_o his_o fear_n and_o this_o we_o see_v howbeit_o by_o the_o way_n we_o have_v these_o two_o point_n too_o mark_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o our_o sin_n make_v we_o unworthy_a that_o god_n shall_v bliss_n we_o after_o all_o sort_n and_o at_o all_o time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o provoke_v god_n no_o not_o even_o the_o perfect_a in_o who_o too_o our_o seem_n there_o be_v no_o fault_n to_o be_v find_v for_o even_o the_o rightuous_a do_v find_v themselves_o blameworthy_a before_o god_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o chastise_v they_o he_o do_v it_o just_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o god_n do_v always_o measure_v the_o affliction_n which_o he_o send_v by_o the_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v he_o have_v other_o reason_n why_o too_o visit_v we_o namely_o he_o will_v mortify_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o oftentimes_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o prevent_v the_o vice_n that_o lurk_v in_o we_o although_o we_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o offend_v yet_o do_v the_o god_n see_v well_o that_o we_o will_v fall_v into_o some_o evil_n and_o therefore_o he_o step_v afore_o it_o to_o remedy_v it_o beside_o this_o he_o intend_v to_o humble_v we_o that_o we_o may_v not_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o the_o world_n nor_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o earth_n moreover_o he_o mean_v to_o know_v whither_o we_o will_v be_v obedient_a to_o he_o in_o adversity_n as_o well_o

eye_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o our_o welfare_n be_v there_o so_o then_o if_o these_o two_o point_n be_v well_o consider_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o to_o conclude_v that_o god_n bliss_v such_o as_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o send_v they_o whatsoever_o he_o know_v to_o be_v for_o their_o behoof_n yea_o but_o that_o be_v not_o after_o their_o appetite_n it_o be_v after_o his_o own_o knowledge_n he_o be_v always_o judge_v of_o that_o furthermore_o if_o he_o scourge_v they_o he_o do_v it_o for_o some_o cause_n and_o the_o

of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v short_a as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v trouble_v let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o fault_n and_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o

notwithstanding_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o imagine_v that_o god_n hold_v one_o ordinary_a measure_n of_o punish_v offender_n after_o the_o rate_n of_o their_o

show_v that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n all_o after_o one_o rate_n in_o this_o world_n and_o why_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n shall_v punish_v those_o that_o have_v do_v amiss_o like_a for_o like_v as_o they_o say_v so_o as_o if_o the_o fault_n be_v great_a the_o punishment_n shall_v be_v

like_v to_o the_o offence_n of_o all_o they_o that_o do_v amiss_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o diverse_a yea_o and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o punishment_n shall_v be_v reserve_v when_o god_n punish_v the_o wicked_a well_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o wariness_n and_o also_o it_o show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v his_o hand_n for_o he_o

to_o take_v profit_n by_o it_o for_o here_o we_o see_v a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o our_o edify_n when_o god_n show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o serve_v he_o we_o shall_v not_o

be_v it_o not_o in_o he_o be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o abridge_v he_o of_o his_o liberty_n behold_v why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o

conclude_v that_o all_o such_o as_o serve_v god_n must_v be_v reward_v out_o of_o hand_n and_o that_o this_o prensent_fw-la life_n must_v be_v as_o a_o paradise_n to_o they_o and_o that_o god_n must_v

so_o much_o the_o more_o cause_n to_o mislike_v of_o this_o present_a life_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o this_o say_n be_v not_o strange_a to_o the_o world_n for_o all_o of_o we_o be_v convict_v by_o experience_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o ought_v too_o set_v his_o mind_n thorough_o upon_o it_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v thereof_o say_v that_o although_o a_o man_n come_v to_o fourscore_o year_n and_o upward_o we_o must_v not_o esteem_v the_o same_o too_o be_v any_o long_a time_n and_o why_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o our_o childhood_n be_v we_o live_v a_o good_a while_n in_o the_o world_n before_o we_o be_v enter_v into_o very_a life_n indeed_o for_o in_o our_o chilhood_n we_o have_v neither_o wit_n nor_o reason_n and_o very_o although_o young_a folk_n have_v discretion_n to_o discern_v good_a and_o evil_n yet_o do_v they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v overflow_v their_o bank_n as_o they_o run_v at_o riot_n and_o there_o be_v no_o settle_a constancy_n in_o they_o thus_o you_o fee_v that_o one_o part_n of_o our_o age_n pass_v and_o slip_v away_o before_o we_o have_v begin_v to_o live_v because_o we_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v for_o in_o good_a forth_o when_o a_o man_n know_v not_o wherefore_o god_n create_v he_o nor_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o perceive_v to_o what_o end_n he_o be_v set_v in_o the_o world_n i_o pray_v you_o to_o speak_v proper_o ought_v it_o too_o be_v say_v that_o he_o live_v for_o he_o have_v no_o more_o but_o a_o confuse_a knowledge_n but_o be_v we_o come_v to_o the_o middle_a age_n we_o see_v that_o then_o our_o care_n increase_v the_o more_o for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o regard_n he_o think_v i_o have_v hitherto_o be_v a_o rover_n i_o have_v be_v as_o wanton_a and_o fond_a as_o any_o man_n and_o how_o may_v i_o now_o recover_v the_o time_n that_o i_o have_v lose_v it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a afterward_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o

paste_n we_o shall_v be_v quite_o discharge_v for_o if_o death_n be_v once_o come_v it_o be_v as_o we_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o our_o task_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v glad_a because_o we_o

his_o own_o passion_n which_o we_o must_v not_o allow_v of_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n condemn_v they_o and_o wherefore_o be_v they_o write_v first_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o even_o the_o perfect_a sort_n although_o they_o be_v never_o so_o patient_a fail_v not_o too_o have_v great_a hardiness_n in_o fight_a against_o the_o passion_n of_o their_o flesh_n when_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o job_n and_o such_o other_o like_o be_v make_v of_o steel_n or_o senseless_a folk_n although_o there_o be_v a_o singular_a stoutness_n in_o they_o &_o that_o they_o endeavour_v themselves_o to_o obey_v god_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o without_o touch_n of_o breast_n for_o they_o be_v fain_o too_o feel_v marvelous_a sting_n in_o their_o flesh_n and_o although_o they_o outstoode_v the_o temptation_n and_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o they_o yet_o have_v they_o storm_n and_o be_v toss_v too_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n and_o this_o be_v tell_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v stand_v the_o more_o upon_o our_o guard_n and_o pray_v god_n too_o strengthen_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o although_o we_o have_v never_o so_o good_a a_o desire_n to_o honour_n he_o yet_o shall_v we_o be_v vanquish_v by_o and_o by_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o up_o by_o his_o hand_n and_o give_v we_o strength_n from_o above_o to_o fight_v valiant_o with_o steadfastness_n beside_o this_o we_o be_v admonish_v also_o not_o to_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n though_o we_o seem_v at_o the_o point_n to_o quail_v nor_o to_o be_v discourage_v for_o all_o that_o for_o the_o excellent_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v have_v always_o be_v so_o effeeble_v for_o a_o time_n howbeit_o god_n have_v stand_v to_o they_o in_o such_o

to_o soothe_v ourselves_o in_o our_o own_o vice_n final_o let_v we_o consider_v to_o what_o use_n we_o ought_v to_o apply_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v bound_v the_o time_n of_o man_n life_n very_o well_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v say_v he_o ought_v too_o leave_v we_o as_o he_o find_v we_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v get_v he_o away_o from_o we_o as_o job_n say_v yesterday_o that_o it_o seem_v unreasonable_a that_o god_n shall_v open_v his_o eye_n upon_o so_o wretched_a creature_n and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o let_v man_n alone_o there_o because_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a too_o be_v match_v with_o he_o for_o what_o strength_n be_v there_o in_o they_o no._n but_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o a_o fair_a hand_n we_o shall_v make_v if_o god_n shall_v get_v he_o away_o from_o we_o i_o mean_v if_o he_o shall_v not_o guide_v we_o to_o redress_v we_o when_o we_o do_v amiss_o if_o we_o live_v but_o one_o day_n without_o god_n visitation_n we_o fall_v asleep_a in_o our_o sin_n &_o much_o more_o if_o he_o spare_v we_o a_o long_a time_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o man_n be_v in_o prosperity_n they_o know_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n which_o be_v a_o judge_n over_o they_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o be_v hold_v under_o any_o yoke_n or_o to_o be_v bridle_v a_o man_n can_v by_o any_o mean_n bring_v they_o to_o reason_n see_v it_o be_v so_o how_o rebellious_a will_v we_o be_v if_o god_n shall_v let_v we_o alone_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n how_o will_v we_o play_v the_o horse_n that_o be_v break_v loose_a there_o will_v be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v we_o to_o know_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v return_v unto_o god_n therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o pray_v he_o too_o pity_v we_o and_o so_o to_o tame_v all_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n as_o we_o may_v be_v teachable_a and_o obedient_a towards_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v a_o excessive_a passion_n in_o job_n too_o allege_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o convenient_a for_o god_n to_o let_v man_n alone_o as_o they_o be_v because_o their_o life_n be_v short_a and_o brittle_a and_o because_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v assign_v it_o a_o determinate_a term_n again_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v watch_v over_o we_o and_o look_v narrow_o to_o we_o because_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o we_o to_o guide_v our_o own_o step_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o his_o protection_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o for_o it_o be_v pitiful_a to_o see_v with_o how_o many_o death_n we_o be_v besiege_v have_v not_o god_n need_v then_o to_o have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n of_o our_o life_n so_o whereas_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o he_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o draw_v near_o we_o and_o that_o in_o two_o sort_n the_o first_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o be_v in_o his_o custody_n to_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o because_o we_o live_v not_o but_o in_o he_o nor_o be_v sustain_v but_o by_o his_o power_n it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o presence_n and_o to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v newre_n at_o hand_n to_o we_o too_o aid_v we_o and_o succour_n we_o and_o furthermore_o which_o be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o it_o may_v also_o please_v he_o to_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o to_o chastise_v we_o when_o he_o see_v we_o too_o far_o out_o of_o square_a true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v he_o too_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o we_o as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v press_v more_o than_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o yet_o therewithal_o we_o have_v also_o to_o desire_v he_o to_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o any_o correction_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o rock_v we_o asleep_a and_o to_o make_v we_o very_a block_n thus_o much_o concern_v that_o point_n but_o above_o all_o we_o ought_v to_o weigh_v well_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v determine_v by_o god_n that_o be_v have_v the_o account_n of_o our_o month_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o have_v set_v a_o ordinance_n which_o can_v be_v pass_v hereupon_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o take_v great_a comfort_n for_o that_o our_o life_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n behold_v here_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n be_v so_o fearful_a as_o they_o dare_v not_o stir_v one_o finger_n but_o with_o tremble_v and_o it_o seem_v too_o they_o that_o this_o thing_n or_o that_o thing_n may_v befall_v they_o namely_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o that_o god_n have_v they_o in_o his_o keep_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o well_o to_o take_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n as_o he_o have_v create_v they_o for_o be_v we_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o our_o pace_n &_o not_o be_v so_o torment_v as_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o make_v account_v of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v limit_v our_o day_n howbeit_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o must_v keep_v a_o mean_a in_o this_o behalf_n for_o although_o we_o ought_v to_o warrant_v ourselves_o see_n our_o life_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v rash_a to_o cast_v ourselves_o geerish_o into_o any_o danger_n but_o we_o must_v walk_v advise_o according_o as_o god_n command_v we_o there_o be_v some_o fantastical_a person_n who_o hear_v that_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n be_v number_v and_o that_o we_o can_v neither_o lengthen_v nor_o shorten_v our_o life_n because_o it_o be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o at_o his_o good_a pleasure_n will_v by_o and_o by_o say_v very_o well_o then_o if_o i_o do_v all_o that_o come_v in_o my_o head_n it_o be_v all_o one_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v to_o be_v hang_v shall_v never_o be_v drown_v as_o the_o proverb_n say_v among_o the_o papist_n yea_o &_o when_o the_o unthrift_n that_o be_v among_o we_o be_v dispose_v to_o dally_v
there_o be_v any_o vanity_n or_o good_a instruction_n in_o it_o that_o we_o may_v know_v it_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o own_o use_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n too_o be_v so_o gracious_a to_o we_o that_o when_o any_o man_n minister_v any_o good_a doctrine_n unto_o we_o it_o may_v not_o slip_v away_o from_o we_o nor_o vanish_v into_o the_o air_n through_o our_o own_o

no_o profit_n at_o all_o by_o it_o and_o why_o for_o they_o apply_v not_o their_o whole_a wit_n and_o mind_n to_o it_o but_o be_v fleet_a too_o and_o fro_o and_o god_n word_n do_v as_o it_o be_v vanish_v into_o the_o wind_n and_o that_o be_v because_o they_o have_v no_o sure_a groundedness_n in_o they_o nevertheless_o for_o the_o better_a apply_v of_o this_o lesson_n to_o our_o use_n every_o one_o of_o we_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o must_v look_v narrow_o to_o himself_o for_o it_o follow_v in_o job_n that_o if_o his_o friend_n be_v in_o his_o case_n he_o can_v speak_v as_o they_o do_v and_o hold_v they_o company_n in_o talk_n and_o plead_v with_o they_o and_o nod_v his_o head_n at_o they_o true_o some_o expound_v this_o sentence_n that_o job_n will_v not_o render_v the_o like_a unto_o

they_o do_v towards_o he_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v their_o unmercifulness_n how_o there_o be_v none_o other_o talk_n among_o they_o but_o too_o drive_v this_o holy_a person_n too_o despair_n if_o god_n have_v not_o hold_v he_o up_o they_o that_o take_v the_o sentence_n in_o that_o sense_n be_v move_v thereto_o by_o this_o reason_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o unseemly_a matter_n that_o job_n will_v be_v desirous_a of_o revengement_n when_o god_n have_v withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o he_o and_o that_o he_o will_v then_o mock_v poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o like_a calamity_n when_o he_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n for_o although_o there_o be_v none_o other_o cause_n but_o the_o affliction_n that_o he_o himself_o endure_v yet_o shall_v the_o same_o teach_v he_o too_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n upon_o such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o it_o but_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v job_n mean_v not_o too_o show_v here_o what_o he_o will_v do_v but_o what_o a_o

be_v merry_a if_o he_o be_v as_o they_o be_v then_o in_o effect_n he_o mean_v thus_o you_o talk_v well_o at_o your_o ease_n you_o shake_v your_o head_n at_o i_o you_o pass_v not_o of_o condemn_v i_o

what_o job_n meaning_n be_v now_o than_o we_o see_v he_o be_v not_o sharpen_v unto_o revengement_n as_o those_o that_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v who_o when_o any_o man_n disquiet_v they_o

that_o god_n afflict_v he_o not_o after_o the_o common_a manner_n but_o now_o let_v we_o look_v to_o ourselves_o for_o if_o we_o suffer_v never_o so_o little_a adversity_n we_o think_v it_o over_o great_a and_o that_o god_n keep_v no_o measure_n it_o be_v pity_n to_o see_v how_o nice_a we_o be_v and_o there_o need_v no_o more_o to_o hold_v we_o skirmish_v to_o the_o uttermost_a so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v but_o a_o make_n of_o some_o moan_n it_o may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o feebleness_n but_o when_o man_n make_v such_o a_o stir_n that_o they_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n for_o any_o common_a adversity_n that_o they_o have_v to_o abide_v be_v it_o not_o a_o overgreat_a impatiency_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sign_n that_o we_o be_v never_o in_o god_n school_n to_o learn_v what_o it_o be_v to_o suffer_v and_o to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o his_o will_n so_o then_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o be_v more_o strong_a to_o endure_v the_o chastisement_n that_o god_n send_v we_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o namely_o that_o job_n who_o be_v of_o so_o excellent_a holiness_n and_o who_o god_n love_v so_o well_o be_v nevertheless_o set_v up_o as_o a_o white_a to_o shoot_v at_o and_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o must_v be_v strong_a in_o our_o affliction_n not_o to_o harden_v ourselves_o against_o god_n and_o to_o chew_v upon_o our_o bridle_n as_o we_o see_v many_o man_n do_v for_o that_o make_v man_n hard-hearted_a and_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v tender_a heart_a in_o this_o behalf_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n as_o soon_o as_o god_n tick_v we_o we_o must_v streitways_o awake_v to_o think_v upon_o he_o and_o not_o tarry_v till_o he_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n at_o we_o and_o wound_v we_o nor_o till_o he_o let_v his_o arrow_n flee_v at_o we_o or_o thunder_v upon_o we_o what_o then_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o give_v we_o but_o one_o stripe_n with_o his_o rod_n although_o it_o be_v soft_o we_o must_v be_v quiet_a and_o very_o if_o we_o be_v wise_a and_o well_o advise_v we_o will_v not_o tarry_v till_o he_o shall_v strike_v so_o much_o as_o one_o stroke_n but_o we_o will_v be_v warn_v by_o his_o threaten_n and_o hie_v we_o apace_o to_o come_v home_o to_o he_o before_o he_o touch_v we_o you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o profitable_a that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v feel_v god_n hand_n and_o not_o be_v hard_o against_o his_o stroke_n for_o if_o a_o horse_n be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n will_v man_n like_o the_o better_a of_o he_o for_o that_o will_v man_n think_v it_o a_o good_a property_n in_o he_o no_o it_o be_v a_o vice_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o though_o god_n strike_v we_o not_o with_o the_o sword_n but_o only_o show_v we_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o rod_n yet_o must_v we_o be_v move_v but_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v therewithal_o be_v strong_a in_o such_o wise_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n nor_o so_o oversorowfull_a as_o our_o grief_n may_v not_o be_v assuage_v nor_o we_o have_v any_o feel_n of_o god_n gracious_a goodness_n for_o they_o that_o be_v so_o press_v can_v by_o any_o mean_n reclaim_v they_o self_n because_o that_o if_o we_o once_o take_v a_o conceit_n that_o god_n be_v our_o adversary_n and_o so_o have_v no_o trust_n at_o all_o in_o his_o goodness_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v come_v near_o he_o but_o we_o will_v rather_o flee_v from_o he_o &_o when_o we_o be_v once_o go_v away_o we_o will_v still_o labour_v to_o draw_v further_o &_o further_o from_o he_o therefore_o we_o must_v pluck_v up_o a_o good_a heart_n in_o our_o adversity_n that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o god_n and_o not_o be_v afraid_a too_o return_v unto_o he_o trust_v that_o he_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o show_v we_o mercy_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o with_o a_o good_a pure_a and_o rightmeen_a mind_n you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v do_v tend_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v too_o nice_a in_o our_o affliction_n but_o rather_o feel_v they_o be_v time_n that_o we_o may_v return_v unto_o god_n also_o if_o god_n have_v send_v we_o any_o adversity_n do_v double_a the_o same_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v gripe_v exceed_o both_o within_o and_o without_o yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v where_o job_n be_v and_o therefore_o that_o if_o he_o continue_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o flee_v still_o unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o whereas_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o god_n archer_n it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a similitude_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v always_o trouble_v when_o they_o come_v too_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o present_a life_n for_o we_o can_v not_o father_n they_o upon_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o we_o imagine_v always_o that_o they_o come_v by_o misfortune_n or_o else_o by_o mean_n of_o man_n to_o be_v short_a we_o judge_v disorderly_a and_o can_v not_o shape_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o holy_a scripture_n beside_o that_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o life_n and_o death_n light_n and_o darkness_n good_a and_o evil_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n use_v also_o familiar_a comparison_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o matter_n may_v be_v express_v to_o we_o the_o better_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o god_n do_v set_v his_o archer_n in_o array_n against_o job._n speak_v he_o here_o of_o man_n no_o but_o of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o job_n have_v to_o endure_v these_o misery_n be_v term_v god_n archer_n and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o he_o come_v well_o furnish_v as_o if_o a_o judge_n shall_v have_v his_o officer_n about_o he_o and_o come_v with_o a_o strong_a company_n too_o apprehend_v a_o malefactor_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n use_v all_o the_o adversity_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o this_o present_a life_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o to_o be_v misfortune_n when_o some_o endure_v sickness_n and_o some_o poverty_n like_a as_o the_o adversity_n of_o this_o world_n be_v numberless_a so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o
confuse_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o like_a as_o he_o put_v up_o david_n tear_n into_o a_o bottle_n so_o will_v he_o do_v we_o too_o and_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v lose_v though_o they_o fall_v too_o the_o ground_n god_n ay_o meene_z will_n never_o forget_v they_o you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o must_v apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o own_o instruction_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n if_o we_o weep_v when_o god_n afflict_v we_o our_o tear_n must_v not_o be_v as_o the_o tear_n of_o silly_a witless_a folk_n who_o know_v not_o what_o they_o themselves_o meene_z by_o it_o nor_o whereunto_o they_o ought_v to_o directe_v themselves_o but_o we_o must_v directe_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n and_o mourn_v before_o he_o and_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o that_o job_n say_v that_o he_o clothe_v himself_o with_o sackcloth_n and_o cover_v his_o head_n with_o dust_n sure_o these_o thing_n be_v sign_n of_o repentance_n like_v as_o when_o a_o wretched_a offender_n will_v sue_v for_o grace_n he_o will_v not_o clothe_v himself_o in_o wedding_n apparel_n he_o will_v not_o come_v comb_v and_o frizzle_a and_o in_o a_o bravery_n before_o his_o judge_n but_o he_o will_v rather_o come_v so_o as_o

faithful_a have_v have_v the_o outward_a sign_n of_o repentance_n when_o god_n afflict_v they_o and_o have_v confess_v their_o sin_n that_o they_o may_v obtain_v forgiveness_n their_o wont_n be_v to_o

sith_o we_o know_v that_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o humble_v of_o ourselves_o before_o god_n we_o go_v so_o lazy_o to_o it_o as_o it_o be_v not_o but_o for_o fashion_n sake_n we_o can_v well_o

why_o for_o too_o consider_v god_n judgement_n aright_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o and_o foremost_a too_o think_v upon_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o one_o man_n god_n intend_v

all_o then_o if_o any_o man_n be_v scourge_v we_o must_v not_o only_o look_v what_o he_o be_v but_o we_o must_v also_o think_v upon_o ourselves_o and_o sure_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o lift_v up_o

that_o aught_o too_o touch_v we_o more_o too_o the_o quick_a and_o we_o ought_v too_o conceive_v so_o great_a a_o fear_n as_o too_o abash_v we_o that_o we_o dare_v not_o open_v our_o mouth_n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o see_v but_o the_o common_a adversity_n whereunto_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v enure_v by_o custom_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v so_o gross_a head_v as_o not_o too_o

must_v look_v further_a than_o to_o the_o present_a and_o visible_a thing_n then_o what_o say_v job_n here_o behold_v say_v he_o how_o man_n condemn_v themselves_o when_o they_o sin_n and_o yet_o

of_o any_o thing_n let_v we_o look_v near_o to_o it_o and_o sift_v it_o thorough_o and_o if_o we_o have_v not_o skill_n enough_o to_o do_v it_o as_o it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o acknowledge_v

well_o and_o right_o be_v it_o so_o that_o be_v to_o say_v do_v we_o know_v the_o matter_n perfect_o be_v we_o sure_o of_o the_o truth_n then_o let_v we_o take_v courage_n too_o stick_v to_o it_o whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v shake_v from_o it_o and_o this_o declare_v to_o we_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o faith_n for_o we_o believe_v not_o upon_o a_o fickle_a opinion_n at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o be_v well_o ground_v in_o god_n truth_n as_o for_o such_o as_o say_v i_o believe_v and_o in_o the_o meanwhile_o have_v no_o certainty_n of_o god_n truth_n but_o only_o some_o imagination_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v bewitch_v by_o satan_n at_o leastwise_o if_o they_o be_v wed_v to_o it_o as_o man_n say_v behold_v the_o turk_n they_o

i_o wot_v not_o what_o whereby_o they_o show_v that_o they_o never_o do_v so_o much_o as_o once_o taste_v of_o god_n truth_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o know_v to_o be_v good_a must_v never_o escape_v we_o neither_o must_v we_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v turn_v from_o it_o but_o we_o must_v so_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o may_v stand_v in_o it_o too_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v already_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o text_n and_o furthermore_o whereas_o job_n say_v here_o god_n forbid_v that_o ever_o i_o shall_v justify_v you_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o it_o be_v no_o small_a fault_n before_o god_n to_o make_v countenance_n of_o consent_v too_o such_o as_o maintain_v a_o evil_a case_n and_o go_v against_o the_o truth_n for_o although_o a_o man_n do_v it_o not_o with_o his_o heart_n but_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v in_o himself_o yet_o god_n be_v blaspheme_v therein_o for_o we_o know_v how_o

agree_v with_o the_o wicked_a or_o at_o leastwise_o too_o bear_v they_o good_a countenance_n although_o they_o mislike_v of_o their_o evil_a do_n and_o although_o they_o will_v feign_v that_o they_o

as_o oft_o as_o they_o see_v the_o wicked_a afloat_a and_o have_v their_o full_a scope_n they_o be_v fain_o to_o vale_n their_o bonnet_n too_o they_o and_o although_o they_o uphold_v not_o their_o

too_o say_v i_o will_v not_o meddle_v overhasty_o i_o see_v i_o shall_v but_o bring_v myself_o in_o the_o brier_n every_o man_n will_v be_v in_o my_o top_n i_o will_v not_o make_v it_o my_o own_o

a_o separate_n of_o ourselves_o from_o he_o of_o set_a purpose_n when_o we_o give_v any_o token_n that_o we_o justify_v the_o wicked_a and_o like_v of_o their_o evil_a case_n and_o what_o think_v we_o

be_v for_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n mean_v to_o express_v in_o this_o strain_v by_o show_v that_o see_v god_n have_v give_v he_o the_o grace_n to_o walk_v aright_o and_o he_o have_v of_o long_a time_n know_v what_o be_v good_a his_o heart_n shall_v not_o now_o turn_v back_o again_o then_o let_v every_o of_o we_o learn_v by_o his_o example_n too_o consider_v well_o the_o free_a favour_n that_o god_n show_v we_o when_o he_o vouchsafe_v too_o draw_v we_o to_o the_o pure_a faith_n of_o his_o gospel_n for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o think_v that_o he_o have_v bind_v we_o more_o unto_o he_o in_o so_o do_v than_o if_o all_o the_o solemne_v covenant_n in_o the_o world_n be_v pass_v betwixt_o we_o wherefore_o let_v we_o settle_v ourselves_o to_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n when_o we_o have_v begin_v well_o and_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o way_n that_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n unto_o we_o and_o further_a let_v every_o of_o we_o reckon_v well_o the_o time_n how_o long_o it_o be_v ago_o since_o we_o know_v god_n truth_n how_o it_o be_v a_o year_n three_o ten_o or_o twenty_o since_o god_n disclose_v himself_o unto_o i_o and_o how_o have_v i_o profit_v since_o that_o time_n although_o i_o have_v not_o go_v so_o far_o forward_a as_o be_v requisite_a yet_o for_o as_o much_o as_o my_o god_n have_v take_v i_o into_o his_o house_n and_o not_o suffer_v i_o to_o run_v quite_o away_o but_o have_v grant_v i_o the_o grace_n to_o hold_v out_o hitherto_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o i_o shall_v now_o renounce_v he_o and_o give_v he_o over_o be_v not_o that_o a_o overdamnable_a unthankfulness_n lo_o how_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o call_v himself_o to_o account_n that_o he_o may_v confirm_v himself_o in_o the_o steadfastness_n that_o job_n show_v we_o here_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o that_o be_v the_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v in_o this_o strain_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o christian_n in_o any_o wise_n to_o dissemble_v by_o make_v countenance_n that_o they_o believe_v a_o thing_n which_o notwithstanding_o

serve_v and_o honour_v of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o high_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v do_v come_v in_o question_n we_o must_v not_o take_v leave_n nor_o liberty_n too_o swerve_v in_o that_o behalf_n for_o even_o in_o worldly_a matter_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o faulty_a if_o we_o make_v countenance_n of_o consent_v unto_o that_o which_o we_o mislike_v but_o if_o we_o

and_o moreover_o also_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a where_o shall_v we_o find_v so_o beastly_a man_n that_o will_v not_o condemn_v robbery_n murder_n &_o whoredom_n for_o very_a nature_n

that_o pertain_v to_o this_o present_a life_n of_o man_n furthermore_o they_o have_v also_o trade_n and_o handicraft_n as_o one_o be_v a_o baker_n another_o a_o ploughman_n another_o a_o shoemaker_n and_o another_o a_o clothy_a and_o all_o these_o trade_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o they_o be_v common_a as_o well_o to_o the_o unbeliever_n as_o to_o the_o faithful_a who_o god_n have_v

see_v then_o in_o effect_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v be_v that_o although_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o secret_n in_o nature_n and_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v high_a which_o belong_v to_o this_o present_a life_n yet_o have_v god_n give_v man_n ability_n to_o attain_v unto_o they_o as_o for_o example_n to_o speak_v of_o some_o handicraft_n before_o a_o

even_o because_o god_n have_v give_v man_n the_o skill_n again_o what_o be_v the_o gold_n and_o the_o silver_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o behold_v the_o mettle_n be_v mingle_v with_o earth_n it_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o colour_n yea_o and_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o unprofitable_a and_o how_o can_v a_o man_n discern_v it_o how_o can_v he_o fine_a it_o so_o as_o it_o shall_v serve_v

that_o i_o mean_v be_v that_o there_o be_v some_o capacity_n in_o man_n to_o comprehend_v natural_a thing_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v dark_a at_o the_o first_o entrance_n and_o although_o

than_o we_o see_v that_o to_o fear_n god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o goodness_n but_o here_o job_n have_v set_v down_o one_o particular_a for_o the_o whole_a purposely_o to_o

be_v to_o be_v desire_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o will_v fain_o be_v bereave_v of_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v inflame_v with_o such_o zeal_n to_o profit_n

according_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o fantastical_a person_n in_o these_o day_n which_o despise_v god_n word_n because_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o simple_a stuff_n

it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_n we_o shall_v see_v great_a simplicity_n there_o for_o our_o lord_n use_v no_o high_a stile_n but_o rather_o temper_v himself_o both_o to_o great_a and_o

or_o else_o as_o if_o a_o sick_a man_n shall_v content_v himself_o with_o a_o preparative_n and_o afterward_o die_v upon_o it_o for_o want_v of_o take_v further_o physic_n then_o must_v not_o this_o

that_o we_o ought_v to_o examine_v spirit_n and_o
but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o evil_a like_n so_o he_o consent_v not_o thorough_o to_o it_o the_o papist_n say_v it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o and_o that_o be_v a_o horrible_a blasphemy_n it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n &_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o mind_n &_o strength_n god_n have_v not_o limit_v the_o love_n that_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v only_o in_o our_o heart_n &_o mind_n but_o he_o say_v that_o our_o wit_n reason_n and_o understanding_n &_o all_o our_o strength_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o the_o ability_n &_o power_n that_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n must_v also_o be_v thorough_o apply_v thereunto_o now_o than_o if_o a_o man_n conceyve_fw-mi any_o evil_a although_o he_o consent_v not_o to_o it_o nor_o yield_v his_o affection_n full_o thereunto_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v he_o love_n god_n with_o all_o his_o mind_n no_o if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o little_a a_o piece_n of_o himself_o incline_v to_o corruption_n although_o with_o all_o the_o rest_n he_o endeavour_v himself_o to_o accomplish_v the_o law_n do_v he_o love_n god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v no_o undoubted_o for_o sin_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o transgress_a of_o god_n law_n therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o the_o vain_a thought_n which_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_n be_v sin_n and_o that_o we_o be_v guilty_n of_o they_o too_o godward_o unless_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o he_o forgive_v they_o to_o those_o that_o be_v he_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o for_o sin_n and_o whosoever_o do_v flatter_v himself_o do_v but_o provoke_v god_n wrath_n and_o cover_v the_o mischief_n too_o his_o own_o

that_o we_o withstand_v it_o it_o be_v already_o a_o fault_n &_o oversight_n in_o we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o conceive_v such_o evil_a like_n it_o already_o bewrayerh_n the_o corruptness_n of_o our_o

way_n in_o their_o travail_v that_o they_o may_v come_v well_o to_o their_o journey_n end_n be_v it_o not_o great_a pity_n that_o in_o the_o way_n of_o our_o life_n we_o be_v willing_a too_o go_v

but_o also_o when_o the_o way_n be_v before_o our_o eye_n so_o as_o god_n point_v it_o out_o with_o his_o finger_n and_o call_v we_o thither_o encourage_v we_o to_o follow_v he_o and_o warning_n we_o to_o turn_v neither_o to_o the_o right-hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a but_o to_o keep_v on_o the_o high_a way_n as_o he_o show_v it_o we_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o take_v heed_n to_o it_o and_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o scripture_n use_v this_o similitude_n of_o a_o way_n be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o miss_v of_o our_o way_n our_o ignorance_n can_v not_o excuse_v we_o and_o why_o for_o god_n have_v show_v we_o his_o will_n and_o if_o we_o obey_v he_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o infallible_a way_n we_o can_v not_o step_v aside_o nor_o run_v astray_o like_o wander_v vacabound_v contrariwise_o they_o that_o can_v not_o conform_v themselves_o to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o law_n and_o his_o word_n may_v well_o run_v and_o gad_n and_o trudge_v up_o and_o down_o as_o the_o

between_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n and_o the_o talk_n that_o he_o have_v yesterday_o why_o so_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o all_o unchaste_a look_n that_o be_v attaint_v with_o any_o vice_n proceed_v

already_o some_o lewd_a lust_n within_o they_o which_o persuade_v they_o unto_o evil_n for_o the_o eye_n of_o itself_o will_v not_o sin_n unless_o it_o be_v provoke_v by_o a_o evil_a mind_n how_o then_o do_v job_n say_v here_o that_o his_o heart_n follow_v not_o his_o eye_n but_o i_o say_v therewithal_o yesterday_o that_o when_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n there_o come_v many_o lewd_a thought_n to_o our_o mind_n how_o it_o that_o ofttetimes_o we_o be_v not_o tickle_v with_o they_o for_o god_n hold_v we_o in_o awe_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n otherwise_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v to_o evil_a but_o we_o shall_v also_o fall_v and_o be_v overcome_v out_o of_o hand_n then_o may_v we_o perchance_o conceive_v some_o evil_a thought_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v lead_v away_o with_o it_o by_o any_o mean_n that_o be_v one_o point_n thereupon_o also_o i_o do_v set_v down_o three_o degree_n of_o faultiness_n the_o first_o be_v when_o we_o have_v but_o only_o a_o conceit_n the_o second_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v somewhat_o move_v with_o it_o and_o the_o three_o be_v when_o the_o will_n be_v full_o resolve_v and_o determine_v upon_o it_o but_o now_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o man_n be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n and_o whole_o give_v to_o corruption_n that_o be_v the_o wellspring_n from_o whence_o we_o have_v our_o wicked_a thought_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n some_o temptation_n will_v step_v before_o we_o yea_o though_o we_o stick_v not_o to_o it_o but_o utter_o shake_v it_o off_o so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o a_o whit_n move_v with_o it_o though_o such_o a_o thing_n wave_n before_o my_o eye_n yet_o notwithstanding_o no_o part_n of_o my_o

bury_v for_o if_o god_n image_n be_v the_o same_o in_o we_o that_o it_o be_v in_o our_o father_n adam_n at_o the_o beginning_n undoubted_o all_o oursense_n as_o be_v declare_v
to_o himself_o i_o be_v best_a to_o be_v well_o advise_v where_o i_o give_v and_o always_o take_v occasion_n of_o excuse_n to_o say_v i_o find_v no_o poverty_n there_o so_o as_o he_o be_v glad_a too_o have_v some_o occasion_n to_o stay_v he_o from_o give_v it_o appear_v manifest_o that_o such_o a_o man_n seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o exempt_v himself_o from_o relieve_v those_o that_o have_v need_n of_o his_o help_n then_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o inquire_v it_o behove_v a_o good_a will_v too_o go_v before_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o our_o seek_n be_v but_o too_o do_v good_a and_o then_o let_v we_o bold_o inquire_v for_o we_o may_v well_o do_v it_o so_o we_o be_v first_o and_o foremost_a well_o mind_v and_o seek_v not_o covert_a for_o our_o niggardliness_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o point_n we_o must_v come_v yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o search_v also_o must_v not_o be_v too_o narrow_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o well_o do_v and_o although_o we_o do_v our_o best_a to_o try_v thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v oversee_v in_o give_v some_o alm_n to_o such_o as_o be_v unworthy_a and_o that_o be_v the_o

heart_n to_o the_o end_n our_o hand_n may_v be_v open_a whensoever_o need_n require_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o here_o and_o further_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o job_n add_v immediate_o that_o he_o have_v not_o see_v he_o perisho_n which_o want_v clothes_n nor_o suffer_v he_o too_o starve_v for_o cold_a that_o have_v no_o raiment_n to_o cover_v

too_o do_v alm_n deed_n not_o only_o in_o give_v meat_n and_o drink_v to_o such_o as_o be_v ahungr_v and_o athirst_a but_o also_o in_o clothe_v the_o naked_a and_o true_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o be_v merciful_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o succour_v the_o necessity_n of_o our_o neighbour_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o see_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o too_o succour_v they_o in_o part_n true_a it_o be_v that_o all_o man_n can_v do_v as_o job_n do_v for_o we_o have_v not_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o cattle_n as_o he_o have_v who_o may_v have_v be_v account_v amongst_o the_o great_a prince_n of_o these_o day_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o revenue_n according_a as_o we_o see_v he_o have_v not_o only_a yoke_n or_o hundred_o of_o ox_n but_o whole_a drove_n yea_o as_o many_o as_o can_v be_v keep_v in_o five_o or_o six_o village_n or_o rather_o in_o a_o whole_a country_n which_o be_v much_o more_o for_o we_o have_v see_v well_o enough_o that_o his_o substance_n be_v only_a cattle_n as_o the_o cattle_n of_o a_o whole_a country_n every_o man_n therefore_o can_v attain_v to_o that_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v let_v we_o consider_v our_o own_o ability_n for_o according_a there_o unto_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o endeavour_n to_o do_v good_a like_a as_o we_o know_v it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o widow_n which_o give_v but_o two_o mite_n be_v more_o praise_v and_o commend_v of_o christ_n than_o such_o as_o have_v cast_v in_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o she_o have_v give_v her_o whole_a substance_n whereas_o the_o other_o have_v give_v but_o a_o small_a portion_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o riches_n so_o then_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o consider_v his_o own_o state_n and_o when_o we_o see_v our_o neighbour_n want_v either_o meat_n or_o drink_v or_o clothes_n at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o succour_v they_o otherwise_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o have_v pity_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o help_v they_o but_o therewithal_o in_o any_o wise_a let_v there_o be_v no_o fault_n in_o we_o that_o they_o be_v not_o aid_v and_o succour_v you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o that_o after_o job_n have_v speak_v of_o his_o meat_n and_o that_o he_o have_v deal_v part_n of_o it_o to_o the_o hungry_a he_o add_v also_o that_o he_o have_v clothe_v such_o as_o shall_v have_v starve_a for_o cold_a if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o his_o help_n yea_o and_o he_o say_v that_o their_o loin_n bliss_v he_o wherein_o he_o declare_v that_o they_o have_v occasion_n too_o cun_fw-fr he_o

when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o subdue_v all_o the_o hatred_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v against_o our_o enemy_n thus_o than_o the_o order_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v be_v that_o those_o

we_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o can_v this_o be_v do_v without_o the_o overthrow_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v other_o also_o to_o

although_o god_n handle_v he_o rough_o yet_o follow_v it_o not_o that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o any_o heinous_a fault_n of_o he_o but_o for_o some_o other_o secret_a cause_n we_o see_v then_o in_o

that_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o maintain_v a_o good_a case_n we_o know_v that_o they_o which_o be_v most_o faulty_a be_v by_o their_o good_a will_n most_o bold_a to_o justify_v

too_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n thereupon_o we_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o without_o exception_n he_o undertake_v war_n against_o god_n for_o whosoever_o say_v that_o he_o be_v no_o sinner_n intend_v to_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n as_o say_v s._n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n god_n have_v pronounce_v one_o general_a sentence_n upon_o we_o all_o and_o

if_o we_o be_v repronved_a for_o any_o thing_n and_o feel_v our_o self_n guilty_a let_v we_o cast_v down_o our_o head_n and_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o have_v deserve_v that_o god_n shall_v put_v

if_o man_n reprove_v we_o and_o will_v through_o rashness_n bear_v we_o down_o that_o we_o be_v offender_n whereas_o we_o know_v the_o contrary_a it_o be_v hypocrisy_n for_o we_o to_o grant_v that_o such_o slander_n be_v true_a if_o a_o man_n be_v accuse_v of_o robbery_n of_o whoredom_n or_o of_o murder_n and_o be_v clear_a of_o it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v protest_v before_o god_n and_o his_o

job_n do_v not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o honesty_n as_o the_o vainglorious_a sort_n do_v which_o will_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v touch_v at_o all_o but_o be_v so_o tender_a of_o their_o

they_o themselves_o blaze_v it_o abroad_o so_o as_o every_o man_n know_v it_o we_o must_v not_o go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v but_o every_o man_n must_v in_o that_o case_n judge_n of_o himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o condemn_v the_o evil_a and_o to_o allow_v the_o good_a without_o accept_v of_o person_n lo_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o may_v maintain_v a_o good_a quarrel_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v if_o god_n will_v answer_v i_o though_o all_o the_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n shall_v bend_v themselves_o

be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o hide_v our_o shame_n before_o man_n but_o our_o principal_a point_n must_v be_v that_o god_n may_v be_v as_o our_o warrant_n and_o answer_v for_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o answer_n where_o of_o job_n speak_v be_v mean_v as_o i_o have_v declare_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v as_o it_o be_v enter_v a_o ordinary_a process_n against_o he_o and_o show_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o scourgeâ—_n he_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o job_n pretend_v that_o if_o god_n will_v give_v he_o liberty_n to_o maintain_v his_o case_n all_o will_v make_v on_o his_o side_n and_o they_o that_o have_v reject_v he_o because_o of_o his_o extreme_a affliction_n shall_v be_v find_v liar_n so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o we_o see_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o have_v escape_v from_o man_n but_o we_o must_v special_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n to_o bring_v our_o good_a case_n before_o he_o that_o he_o as_o i_o say_v may_v warrant_v it_o and_o we_o receive_v sentence_n of_o discharge_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o will_v god_n that_o this_o be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o we_o see_v nowadays_o that_o all_o be_v one_o with_o we_o so_o we_o may_v be_v release_v before_o the_o world_n we_o seek_v nothing_o but_o that_o and_o so_o be_v god_n despise_v for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o which_o think_v that_o ever_o he_o shall_v render_v a_o account_n before_o he_o but_o we_o look_v that_o no_o man_n may_v bite_v we_o and_o that_o if_o any_o man_n come_v to_o assail_v we_o we_o may_v have_v wherewith_o to_o keep_v he_o off_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v so_o escape_v from_o the_o world_n we_o think_v all_o be_v safe_a and_o so_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o make_v we_o bold_a to_o exalt_v ourselves_o the_o more_o against_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o think_v well_o upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o wretched_a reward_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v soothe_v we_o and_o god_n allow_v we_o not_o and_o therefore_o above_o all_o thing_n let_v every_o man_n examine_v himself_o what_o he_o be_v and_o let_v not_o that_o be_v do_v after_o his_o own_o fancy_n but_o according_a to_o god_n law_n for_o we_o know_v we_o be_v no_o competent_a judge_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o receive_v
they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a doctrine_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o god_n and_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o the_o wilfulness_n and_o ignorance_n that_o be_v in_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o

let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o blame_v here_o as_o a_o inordinate_a passion_n but_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o allowable_a mislike_v because_o it_o proceed_v of_o a_o zeal_n that_o eliu_n have_v towards_o god_n truth_n when_o he_o see_v job_n justify_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o be_v esteem_v himself_o more_o righteous_a than_o god._n job_n friend_n have_v not_o this_o

that_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o evil_a case_n unadvised_o &_o be_v not_o able_a to_o compass_v it_o but_o be_v confound_v in_o it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o pintche_n behold_v then_o how_o eliu_n be_v inflame_v with_o anger_n but_o not_o without_o cause_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o his_o zeal_n be_v good_a therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n allow_v the_o anger_n and_o wrath_n that_o be_v in_o he_o but_o by_o the_o way_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v this_o say_n that_o job_n intend_v to_o justify_v himself_o above_o god._n true_o his_o intent_n be_v not_o so_o and_o he_o will_v rather_o a_o hundred_o time_n that_o the_o earth_n have_v swallow_a he_o up_o or_o that_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n than_o to_o have_v think_v such_o a_o blasphemy_n and_o true_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o as_o often_o as_o he_o overshoot_v himself_o it_o be_v not_o to_o conclude_v full_o so_o but_o it_o be_v through_o the_o rage_a of_o his_o passion_n according_a as_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a for_o man_n to_o stay_v themselves_o but_o that_o many_o passion_n shall_v oftentimes_o escape_v they_o you_o see_v in_o what_o case_n job_n be_v and_o how_o in_o the_o end_n he_o always_o condemn_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o will_v not_o excuse_v it_o how_o be_v it_o say_v then_o that_o he_o intend_v to_o justify_v himself_o above_o god_n this_o say_n contain_v a_o good_a and_o very_a profitable_a doctrine_n for_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o we_o may_v sometime_o happen_v to_o blaspheme_v god_n when_o we_o think_v not_o of_o it_o in_o what_o

submit_v myself_o whole_o to_o his_o good_a will_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mean_v whereby_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v through_o we_o and_o we_o yield_v unto_o he_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v his_o be_v by_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v according_a as_o saint_n paul_n treat_v thereof_o in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o roman_n say_v too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o mouth_n may_v be_v

confess_v that_o all_o of_o we_o be_v endanger_v unto_o he_o if_o we_o be_v once_o come_v too_o that_o point_n then_o be_v god_n justify_v that_o be_v too_o say_v his_o righteousness_n be_v commend_v by_o we_o with_o such_o praise_n as_o he_o deserve_v but_o contrariwise_o if_o man_n exalt_v themselves_o and_o knowledge_n not_o that_o they_o be_v endanger_v unto_o god_n so_o as_o he_o may_v

any_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o howbeit_o there_o be_v one_o anger_n which_o be_v good_a namely_o that_o which_o proceed_v of_o the_o grief_n that_o we_o conceive_v when_o god_n be_v offend_v then_o if_o we_o be_v inflame_v with_o a_o good_a zeal_n and_o maintain_v god_n quarrel_n if_o we_o be_v angry_a we_o be_v not_o to_o blame_v for_o it_o but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o such_o anger_n must_v be_v without_o respect_v of_o person_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v angry_a through_o a_o passion_n of_o the_o flesh_n such_o one_o have_v a_o respect_n too_o himself_o and_o intend_v to_o maintain_v himself_o and_o again_o if_o he_o intend_v too_o show_v that_o he_o bear_v a_o favour_n too_o his_o friend_n and_o do_v more_o for_o they_o than_o for_o other_o man_n then_o be_v there_o a_o accept_n of_o person_n because_o we_o have_v regard_n too_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v rather_o be_v angry_a with_o ourselves_o if_o we_o will_v that_o god_n shall_v allow_v of_o our_o anger_n and_o wrath_n and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n speak_v for_o he_o allege_v purposely_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n concern_v our_o be_v angry_a howbeit_o without_o offend_v and_o how_o be_v that_o do_v it_o be_v when_o a_o man_n enter_v into_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o search_v himself_o earnest_o and_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n unto_o other_o so_o much_o as_o to_o himself_o to_o condemn_v himself_o and_o too_o fight_v against_o his_o own_o passion_n you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o may_v be_v angry_a and_o at_o what_o point_n we_o must_v begin_v our_o anger_n if_o we_o will_v have_v it_o allow_v of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n every_o man_n must_v begin_v at_o himself_o and_o be_v angry_a at_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o vice_n and_o cast_v up_o our_o choler_n at_o they_o in_o that_o we_o see_v we_o have_v provoke_v god_n wrath_n against_o we_o and_o be_v full_a of_o so_o much_o wretchedness_n let_v we_o be_v angry_a and_o grieve_a at_o that_o let_v that_o be_v the_o point_n for_o we_o too_o begin_v at_o and_o afterward_o let_v we_o condemn_v the_o evil_a wheresoever_o it_o be_v find_v as_o well_o in_o ourselves_o as_o in_o our_o friend_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v lead_v with_o any_o private_a hatred_n to_o cast_v out_o our_o rage_n upon_o any_o man_n because_o we_o be_v fore_o possess_v with_o some_o evil_a affection_n after_o this_o manner_n shall_v our_o anger_n be_v allowable_a and_o shall_v show_v that_o the_o same_o proceed_v of_o a_o true_a zeal_n to_o godward_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o be_v able_a too_o keep_v measure_n for_o although_o a_o godly_a zeal_n reign_v in_o we_o yet_o shall_v we_o still_o do_v amiss_o in_o exceed_v measure_n if_o god_n restrain_v we_o not_o therefore_o in_o this_o zealousness_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o have_v both_o discretion_n and_o stay_v of_o ourselves_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o this_o anger_n shall_v be_v allowable_a if_o it_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o say_a fountain_n that_o be_v too_o say_v if_o we_o hate_v the_o evil_a wheresoever_o we_o find_v it_o even_o though_o it_o be_v in_o our_o own_o person_n now_o than_o what_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v first_o and_o foremost_a that_o we_o must_v not_o condemn_v all_o anger_n and_o that_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n chafe_v or_o in_o a_o choler_n we_o must_v not_o always_o take_v it_o for_o a_o vice_n as_o we_o see_v these_o scorner_n of_o god_n do_v which_o say_v oh_o will_v you_o storm_v so_o be_v it_o meet_v you_o shall_v be_v angry_a may_v you_o not_o use_v a_o quiet_a fashion_n they_o blaspheme_v and_o despise_v god_n wicked_o according_a as_o there_o be_v many_o to_o be_v see_v which_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o overthrow_v all_o doctrine_n seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o spread_v such_o corruption_n abroad_o as_o man_n may_v not_o any_o more_o know_v god_n and_o that_o his_o truth_n may_v be_v bury_v and_o when_o they_o have_v so_o do_v they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o wink_v at_o they_o or_o rather_o to_o allow_v all_o their_o do_n and_o to_o tell_v

without_o be_v angry_a how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o mortal_a and_o transitory_a creature_n lift_v up_o himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n against_o god_n to_o trample_v all_o good_a doctrine_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o bear_v it_o patient_o we_o shall_v show_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v no_o zeal_n of_o god_n in_o we_o for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n house_n ought_v to_o eat_v we_o up_o for_o if_o we_o have_v a_o worm_n gnaw_v upon_o our_o heart_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o grieve_v we_o so_o much_o as_o when_o there_o be_v any_o reproach_n do_v unto_o god_n and_o when_o we_o see_v his_o truth_n turn_v into_o a_o lie_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o wink_v at_o vice_n but_o let_v we_o discern_v between_o godly_a zeal_n and_o the_o fleshly_a anger_n wherewith_o man_n be_v move_v and_o inflame_v in_o their_o own_o quarrel_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v the_o here_o that_o eliu_n be_v kindle_v with_o displeasure_n and_o in_o a_o hot_a anger_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v reckon_v too_o he_o for_o a_o virtue_n for_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o speak_v it_o i_o say_v let_v we_o consider_v hereby_o that_o we_o must_v not_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n reject_v all_o anger_n but_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o cause_n why_o a_o man_n be_v

furthermore_o according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o utter_v our_o choler_n when_o we_o see_v god_n honour_n wound_v and_o when_o man_n go_v about_o to_o darken_v or_o deface_v his_o truth_n let_v we_o be_v move_v and_o inflame_v at_o it_o that_o we_o may_v
see_v then_o that_o eliu_n be_v instruct_v by_o god_n with_o skill_n too_o speak_v as_o we_o have_v see_v the_o same_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a matter_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o think_v

to_o the_o intent_n that_o prophecy_n shall_v have_v the_o more_o authority_n we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v at_o time_n set_v some_o apparent_a mark_n in_o they_o like_a as_o when_o god_n call_v

that_o when_o he_o wrought_v in_o a_o heathen_a man_n which_o be_v out_o of_o his_o church_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o notable_a mark_n in_o that_o behalf_n so_o as_o the_o world_n may_v

you_o show_v by_o your_o do_n that_o you_o be_v wise_a man_n and_o man_n of_o understanding_n but_o you_o be_v stark_a fool_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o you_o but_o ignorance_n and_o must_v you_o then_o take_v upon_o you_o such_o liberty_n to_o speak_v and_o have_v not_o what_o to_o say_v now_o if_o we_o can_v make_v our_o profit_n of_o this_o strain_v it_o contain_v a_o good_a lesson_n for_o first_o we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o life_n namely_o too_o yield_v god_n his_o due_a authority_n that_o he_o may_v dispose_v of_o we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o may_v do_v all_o thing_n and_o yet_o not_o by_o our_o advice_n then_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o set_v god_n a_o law_n â—nd_v too_o point_v he_o out_o his_o lesson_n but_o we_o must_v agree_v unto_o all_o that_o he_o do_v mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o may_v well_o demand_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o think_v to_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n &_o for_o the_o welfare_n of_o his_o church_n or_o for_o our_o own_o private_a benefit_n for_o he_o show_v such_o familiarity_n towards_o we_o as_o to_o say_v unto_o we_o discharge_v your_o heart_n and_o your_o care_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o we_o must_v make_v he_o privy_a to_o our_o desire_n therefore_o when_o we_o be_v in_o any_o unquietness_n let_v we_o refer_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o think_v good_a howbeit_o let_v we_o rule_v ourselves_o always_o by_o his_o word_n notwithstanding_o if_o it_o please_v he_o not_o to_o grant_v our_o desire_n yet_o must_v we_o use_v thanksgiving_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o our_o desire_n must_v not_o be_v heady_a neither_o must_v we_o constrain_v god_n to_o do_v that_o which_o we_o require_v but_o contrariwise_o although_o he_o say_v we_o nay_o and_o mind_n therein_o to_o excercize_v our_o patience_n let_v we_o always_o bliss_n and_o glorify_v his_o name_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o do_v all_o thing_n with_o inestimable_a justice_n uprightness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o that_o we_o ourselves_o know_v not_o what_o be_v good_a but_o be_v poor_a blind_a wretch_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o see_v for_o we_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v that_o the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o and_o to_o put_v in_o ure_n this_o strain_v be_v that_o god_n must_v not_o do_v thing_n at_o our_o appointment_n howbeit_o this_o stretch_v yet_o further_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n if_o we_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v strange_a to_o our_o understanding_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v not_o lean_v so_o too_o our_o own_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v do_v what_o we_o think_v aught_o to_o be_v do_v how_o then_o let_v his_o will_n reign_n and_o let_v man_n stoop_v unto_o it_o for_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o we_o then_o behove_v it_o both_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n and_o man_n upon_o earth_n to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o god_n only_o too_o bear_v the_o sway_n yea_o even_o with_o such_o freedom_n as_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o do_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o be_v warn_v that_o we_o can_v do_v a_o worse_a thing_n than_o to_o repine_v &_o grudge_v at_o god_n when_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o as_o we_o will_v wish_v they_o â–ª_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v a_o mislike_v of_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n and_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o if_o a_o man_n fall_v to_o evil_a and_o do_v amiss_o through_o frailty_n he_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v excuse_v but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o such_o a_o fullness_n of_o sin_n as_o he_o be_v not_o content_v to_o offend_v god_n and_o too_o break_v his_o law_n and_o to_o abolish_v all_o order_n but_o also_o will_v quench_v god_n righteousness_n and_o have_v the_o light_n turn_v into_o darkness_n so_o as_o there_o may_v be_v no_o more_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_n what_o a_o overoutrageousnesse_n be_v that_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o often_o as_o man_n repine_v at_o god_n and_o can_v patient_o bear_v his_o do_n and_o glorify_v he_o therein_o they_o mislike_v of_o he_o as_o though_o they_o will_v usurp_v authority_n over_o he_o to_o judge_v he_o and_o not_o only_o that_o but_o also_o condemn_v his_o righteousness_n which_o
say_v if_o we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o that_o no_o doubt_n but_o god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v and_o all_o man_n will_v hold_v themselves_o to_o his_o word_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o

that_o be_v in_o controversy_n between_o they_o and_o we_o it_o be_v not_o only_o because_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o be_v subject_a unto_o god_n but_o also_o because_o they_o be_v so_o saucy_a to_o step_v forth_o with_o their_o lordly_a conclusion_n too_o determine_v and_o bind_v man_n conscience_n to_o their_o resolution_n then_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v hold_v themselves_o to_o the_o pure_a simplicity_n of_o god_n word_n sure_o we_o shall_v in_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n agree_v upon_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o doubt_n at_o this_o day_n again_o as_o touch_v

notwithstanding_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o overturn_v the_o holy_a scripture_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o this_o say_n that_o they_o perceive_v it_o not_o in_o what_o case_n be_v we_o then_o so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v this_o article_n be_v mark_v that_o man_n which_o have_v no_o skill_n aught_o to_o hold_v their_o peace_n and_o keep_v silence_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n alone_o may_v be_v exalt_v be_v this_o doctrine_n thorough_o put_v in_o ure_n sure_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o quiet_a obedience_n and_o that_o all_o of_o we_o will_v say_v amen_o whensoever_o the_o pure_a truth_n of_o god_n be_v lay_v afore_o we_o but_o there_o be_v a_o second_o mischief_n which_o be_v that_o our_o affection_n be_v too_o unruly_a and_o we_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o run_v at_o rover_n by_o reason_n whereof_o if_o god_n afflict_v we_o or_o if_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o to_o our_o look_v we_o fall_v to_o stormiug_n and_o every_o man_n be_v carry_v away_o and_o which_o worse_o be_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o take_v liberty_n to_o speak_v against_o god_n but_o also_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o seek_v occasion_n to_o rail_v at_o his_o justice_n if_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o our_o fancy_n we_o see_v this_o at_o all_o time_n and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v what_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o if_o this_o sentence_n be_v put_v well_o in_o ure_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o angelical_a order_n in_o this_o world_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o not_o follow_v our_o own_o reason_n nor_o attempt_v thing_n upon_o our_o own_o head_n but_o be_v content_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o our_o affection_n carry_v we_o away_o into_o bitterness_n so_o as_o we_o be_v grieve_v and_o vex_v let_v we_o shake_v those_o thing_n off_o because_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v reign_v and_o have_v all_o superiority_n over_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v obey_v he_o to_o confess_v that_o all_o his_o do_n be_v good_a and_o rightful_a for_o than_o be_v he_o glorify_v of_o we_o when_o we_o acknowledge_v not_o only_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o govern_v we_o but_o also_o that_o he_o do_v it_o rightful_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v furthermore_o whensoever_o we_o find_v any_o man_n that_o advance_v themselves_o after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v in_o manner_n desperate_a and_o unrecoverable_a sith_o they_o can_v submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o to_o be_v good_a and_o rightful_a and_o therefore_o let_v their_o example_n teach_v we_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o to_o say_v alas_o asmuch_o will_v betide_v thou_o if_o thy_o god_n preserve_v thou_o not_o for_o whence_o come_v modesty_n but_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o here_o thou_o see_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o every_o of_o we_o be_v then_o see_v the_o case_n stand_v so_o when_o we_o see_v these_o light_a head_a person_n that_o do_v so_o advance_v themselves_o and_o pass_v their_o bound_n against_o god_n let_v every_o of_o we_o think_v as_o much_o may_v befall_v i_o if_o i_o be_v not_o withhilde_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o my_o god_n so_o as_o he_o govern_v i_o to_o make_v i_o meek_a that_o i_o may_v glorify_v he_o and_o take_v in_o good_a worth_n whatsoever_o he_o send_v i_o lo_o herein_o effect_v all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o it_o be_v say_v consequent_o let_v man_n of_o heart_n speak_v that_o be_v so_o say_v let_v man_n of_o understanding_n speak_v and_o let_v wise_a man_n harken_v here_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n eliu_n seem_v to_o speak_v thing_n contrary_a for_o to_o speak_v and_o to_o harken_v agree_v not_o together_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o will_v wise_a man_n to_o speak_v and_o man_n of_o understanding_n to_o harken_v for_o a_o man_n shall_v never_o speak_v well_o except_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o hear_v neither_o shall_v he_o ever_o be_v fit_a to_o teach_v unless_o he_o be_v willing_a also_o to_o receive_v good_a doctrine_n we_o see_v then_o that_o eliu_n match_v two_o thing_n together_o which_o ought_v never_o to_o be_v separate_v asunder_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v afore_o namely_o that_o we_o may_v well_o speak_v howbeit_o when_o we_o have_v learn_v afore_o i_o have_v believe_v say_v the_o psalm_n and_o therefore_o have_v i_o speak_v therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o keep_v that_o lesson_n for_o how_o can_v we_o believe_v unless_o we_o have_v give_v â—are_a and_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v teach_v for_o we_o must_v be_v teachable_a when_o good_a thing_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wise_a man_n shall_v become_v wise_a by_o hear_v you_o see_v here_o a_o say_n of_o solomon_n which_o show_v full_a well_o that_o to_o speak_v be_v no_o let_v but_o a_o man_n shall_v harken_v according_a also_o as_o to_o harken_v be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o a_o man_n may_v speak_v for_o wherefore_o be_v our_o lord_n a_o master_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v hear_v he_o and_o every_o of_o we_o teach_v his_o neighbour_n and_o thereby_o make_v the_o thing_n available_a which_o we_o have_v receive_v if_o god_n have_v give_v i_o any_o gift_n of_o grace_n i_o be_o bind_v to_o utter_v it_o to_o my_o neighbour_n when_o i_o see_v they_o do_v amiss_o so_o then_o to_o speak_v and_o to_o hearken_v be_v two_o thing_n that_o not_o only_o agree_v very_o well_o but_o also_o which_o be_v more_o be_v inseparable_a at_o leastwise_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v well_o dispose_v and_o consider_v in_o good_a order_n true_a it_o be_v that_o speak_n be_v here_o set_v foremost_a nevertheless_o when_o as_o eliu_n say_v wizeman_n he_o therein_o presuppose_v that_o they_o which_o speak_v have_v first_o learn_v afore_o and_o know_v what_o to_o say_v and_o again_o whereas_o in_o the_o second_o place_n he_o set_v down_o that_o they_o shall_v harken_v it_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o our_o speak_n must_v be_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o we_o must_v nevertheless_o give_v ear_n when_o another_o man_n have_v to_o speak_v to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v more_o than_o to_o we_o according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n set_v it_o down_o for_o a_o order_n in_o prophesy_v let_v he_o that_o be_v a_o prophet_n say_v he_o speak_v and_o let_v but_o two_o or_o three_o do_v it_o at_o once_o for_o avoid_v of_o confusion_n now_o then_o in_o that_o he_o call_v they_o prophet_n he_o show_v that_o it_o behove_v
because_o we_o have_v no_o settledness_n but_o be_v toss_v with_o unquietness_n yea_o even_o with_o boil_a unquietness_n so_o as_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o make_v haste_n according_a to_o our_o fancy_n if_o he_o do_v not_o thing_n as_o we_o imagine_v in_o our_o mind_n it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v forlorn_a and_o past_a recovery_n because_o we_o understand_v they_o not_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o think_v but_o upon_o ourselves_o it_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v out_o of_o patience_n and_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n at_o all_o to_o be_v find_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n so_o then_o when_o we_o see_v all_o thing_n in_o hurly-burly_n so_o as_o god_n seem_v to_o have_v shut_v his_o eye_n and_o to_o have_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o we_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v because_o of_o our_o sin_n yet_o nevertheless_o let_v the_o same_o confirm_v our_o faith_n and_o let_v we_o be_v quiet_a assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v god_n office_n too_o enjoin_v we_o silence_n until_o convenient_a time_n be_v come_v yea_o and_o until_o he_o know_v it_o too_o be_v convenient_a for_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o bind_v he_o to_o the_o stake_n and_o to_o say_v this_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n and_o that_o thing_n after_o that_o but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o repose_v ourselves_o in_o god_n and_o then_o shall_v all_o pride_n be_v beat_v down_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v think_v all_o god_n do_n too_o be_v good_a rightful_a and_o just_a although_o they_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n now_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n present_v visit_v or_o punish_v be_v not_o in_o his_o anger_n and_o that_o he_o know_v not_o in_o multitude_n great_o true_o this_o text_n be_v somewhat_o hard_a but_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o it_o in_o effect_n be_v this_o that_o although_o god_n do_v now_o show_v himself_o rough_a and_o sharp_a yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o know_v how_o dreadful_a and_o terrible_a his_o wrath_n be_v we_o will_v say_v it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v in_o this_o world_n and_o why_o for_o he_o will_v not_o examine_v thing_n to_o the_o uttermost_a he_o search_v not_o thing_n too_o deep_a he_o do_v but_o only_o pass_v over_o they_o and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o glance_n as_o man_n term_v it_o hereby_o eliu_n mean_v to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o be_v afflict_v to_o the_o uttermost_a so_o as_o god_n seem_v to_o thunder_v in_o such_o wise_n upon_o we_o as_o if_o he_o will_v overwhelm_v we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v what_o his_o wrath_n be_v and_o that_o if_o he_o will_v utter_v it_o too_o the_o full_a it_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v not_o only_o some_o one_o man_n but_o also_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o world_n yea_o and_o to_o consume_v they_o utter_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o nothing_o you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o we_o be_v bring_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n furthermore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a admonishment_n too_o assuage_v the_o affliction_n that_o god_n send_v we_o for_o what_o cause_v we_o too_o think_v that_o we_o be_v torment_v out_o of_o measure_n it_o be_v because_o that_o to_o our_o seem_a god_n can_v not_o do_v worse_o and_o we_o can_v not_o offend_v god_n more_o on_o our_o part_n than_o when_o we_o conceive_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o it_o so_o then_o according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v show_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o consider_v what_o god_n wrath_n be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o dreadful_a it_o be_v and_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o very_o rough_a towards_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o

let_v we_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n present_v punish_v be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o wrath_n wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o say_v what_o the_o misery_n be_v great_a and_o i_o can_v endure_v no_o more_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n wrath_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o all_o that_o can_v be_v endure_v in_o this_o world_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o very_a deed_n all_o that_o can_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o here_o be_v nothing_o to_o it_o now_o see_v that_o all_o be_v nothing_o and_o that_o god_n search_v we_o not_o with_o extremity_n but_o pass_v over_o we_o light_o and_o as_o you_o will_v say_v glance_o so_o as_o he_o make_v a_o countenance_n to_o try_v we_o but_o examine_v we_o not_o straight_o because_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o bear_v it_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o restrain_v our_o murmur_n and_o if_o our_o flesh_n provoke_v we_o to_o impatiency_n as_o we_o be_v overmuch_o give_v unto_o it_o let_v this_o remedy_n serve_v too_o correct_v that_o vice_n how_o now_o wretched_a creature_n what_o intend_v thou_o too_o do_v will_v thou_o spite_v thy_o god_n thou_o see_v that_o he_o bear_v still_o with_o thou_o thou_o haste_v provoke_v his_o wrath_n so_o sore_o as_o thou_o may_v well_o deserve_v to_o be_v root_v out_o of_o the_o world_n a_o hundred_o time_n thou_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o deep_a of_o hell_n and_o yet_o thou_o see_v that_o he_o make_v his_o sun_n to_o shine_v upon_o thou_o he_o nourish_v thou_o with_o his_o bread_n and_o maintain_v thou_o in_o this_o present_a life_n at_o his_o own_o charge_n thou_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o work_n which_o he_o have_v create_v and_o yet_o he_o give_v thou_o respite_n still_o to_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o we_o think_v upon_o these_o thing_n we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o comfort_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v too_o much_o cumber_v with_o impatiency_n thus_o in_o effect_n you_o see_v the_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v in_o this_o text_n and_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o now_o visit_v we_o in_o his_o wrath_n nor_o examine_v thing_n to_o the_o uttermost_a we_o must_v not_o thereupon_o fall_v a_o sleep_n for_o the_o great_a day_n will_v come_v wherein_o nothing_o shall_v be_v forget_v as_o now_o god_n wink_v at_o thing_n and_o punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a they_o take_v liberty_n as_o though_o they_o be_v escape_v out_o of_o the_o judge_n hand_n and_o shall_v never_o yield_v a_o account_n but_o they_o shall_v pay_v
to_o himself_o by_o affliction_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v here_o that_o there_o be_v a_o horrible_a frowardness_n in_o our_o nature_n furthermore_o although_o our_o lord_n have_v touch_v we_o so_o as_o we_o have_v some_o good_a will_n &_o desire_n to_o come_v to_o he_o yet_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o have_v still_o need_n of_o his_o help_n namely_o that_o our_o lord_n shall_v prick_v we_o and_o spur_v we_o forward_o and_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a subdue_v we_o to_o he_o and_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o serve_v our_o own_o turn_n with_o all_o the_o trouble_n &_o adversity_n that_o he_o send_v we_o so_o as_o we_o may_v apply_v they_o to_o the_o say_a use_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o rebellion_n in_o our_o flesh_n if_o it_o be_v not_o subdue_v after_o that_o manner_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n furthermore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v stubborn_a against_o god_n when_o he_o afflict_v we_o but_o see_v we_o know_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v too_o open_v our_o ear_n let_v we_o pray_v he_o that_o our_o affliction_n may_v so_o avail_v &_o profit_v we_o as_o we_o may_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o make_v we_o to_o go_v forward_o still_o in_o the_o good_a way_n when_o he_o have_v once_o bring_v we_o into_o it_o and_o to_o bring_v that_o to_o pass_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o gad_n after_o our_o own_o lust_n as_o we_o see_v most_o man_n do_v who_o be_v carry_v away_o and_o when_o god_n call_v they_o to_o he_o run_v from_o he_o and_o can_v find_v no_o way_n to_o come_v to_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o set_v ourselves_o aside_o that_o be_v too_o say_v let_v we_o as_o it_o be_v be_v gather_v unto_o god_n and_o not_o be_v so_o sot_v in_o our_o own_o vanity_n and_o wicked_a affection_n as_o we_o see_v ourselves_o too_o much_o give_v too_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o he_o add_v immediate_o that_o god_n will_v pluck_v a_o man_n from_o the_o â—rim_n it_o be_v proper_o from_o the_o mouth_n of_o anguish_n &_o affliction_n and_o set_v he_o in_o a_o large_a place_n where_o be_v shall_v be_v no_o more_o in_o distress_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o table_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o fat_a the_o word_n rest_n may_v be_v take_v as_o well_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o table_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v furnish_v with_o all_o good_a thing_n as_o also_o for_o the_o ease_n and_o quietness_n that_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o table_n and_o this_o be_v purposely_o speak_v unto_o job_n because_o he_o have_v feel_v god_n bountifulness_n and_o doubtless_a eliu_n upbraid_v he_o with_o his_o unthankfulness_n come_v on_o say_v he_o have_v thou_o not_o know_v heretofore_o that_o god_n make_v thou_o to_o prosper_v â–ª_o whence_o come_v all_o the_o riches_n which_o thou_o do_v possess_v but_o of_o the_o bounteousness_n which_o god_n show_v towards_o thou_o and_o sure_o he_o will_v still_o show_v himself_o the_o same_o if_o thou_o wart_n meet_v to_o be_v handle_v so_o gentle_o at_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v certain_a then_o that_o he_o will_v go_v through_o as_o he_o begin_v but_o thou_o have_v perform_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a thou_o see_v then_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o god_n shall_v do_v thou_o good_a now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o job_n be_v accuse_v partly_o wrongful_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o eliu_n condemn_v he_o for_o grudge_v against_o god_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o judgement_n and_o justice_n shall_v hold_v out_o not_o withstand_v all_o his_o murmur_a in_o the_o mean_a while_n we_o may_v gather_v a_o good_a lesson_n out_o of_o this_o verse_n which_o be_v that_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_v the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o trouble_v but_o consider_v that_o the_o chastizement_n of_o his_o hand_n be_v not_o do_v without_o cause_n and_o that_o be_v the_o point_n also_o whereunto_o david_n bring_v we_o for_o after_o that_o god_n have_v exalt_v he_o to_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o give_v he_o so_o many_o victory_n against_o his_o enemy_n when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v extreme_o afflict_v and_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v he_o acknowledge_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v god_n creature_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v in_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o may_v dispose_v of_o we_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o we_o must_v bear_v patient_o the_o chastisement_n which_o he_o send_v therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o apply_v this_o sentence_n to_o our_o instruction_n so_o as_o when_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n we_o may_v call_v to_o mind_n what_o benefit_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v yield_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o will_n and_o acknowldge_n it_o to_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v turn_v we_o to_o and_o fro_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o therewithal_o this_o remember_a will_n also_o serve_v to_o assuage_v our_o grief_n for_o if_o we_o have_v never_o feel_v other_o than_o rigour_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o will_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o patience_n in_o our_o affliction_n as_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o heart_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n or_o to_o flee_v to_o he_o for_o refuge_n but_o when_o we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o by_o gentleness_n then_o make_v he_o we_o to_o feel_v that_o such_o as_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o suffer_v themselves_o too_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o hand_n be_v happy_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o give_v we_o courage_n and_o comfort_n even_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o trouble_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o we_o be_v pinch_v with_o adversity_n and_o affliction_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o feel_v present_o must_v not_o so_o amaze_v our_o wit_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v upon_o god_n goodness_n and_o upon_o the_o comfort_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o gulf_n of_o hell_n too_o think_v upon_o nothing_o but_o our_o present_a chastizement_n what_o then_o let_v we_o mingle_v god_n goodness_n with_o his_o rigour_n have_v we_o receive_v good_a at_o god_n hand_n then_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o flee_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o afflict_v we_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v bring_v our_o trouble_n to_o a_o good_a end_n see_v he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v already_o by_o experience_n that_o such_o as_o do_v so_o refer_v themselves_o unto_o he_o do_v find_v he_o a_o good_a and_o pitiful_a father_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v to_o teach_v we_o here_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o eliu_n now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n have_v fulfil_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a true_a it_o be_v that_o these_o word_n may_v also_o be_v take_v as_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o have_v fill_v justice_n and_o judgement_n with_o the_o judgement_n of_o iniquity_n but_o the_o true_a meaning_n be_v that_o job_n have_v overshoot_v himself_o so_o far_o as_o to_o couple_n himself_o with_o wicked_a man_n nevertheless_o this_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o his_o life_n as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o thief_n a_o whoremonger_n or_o a_o murderer_n or_o as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o blasphemer_n or_o a_o loose_a liver_n eliu_o mean_v none_o of_o all_o those_o thing_n but_o the_o mean_a be_v that_o job_n have_v not_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o adversity_n but_o have_v repine_v to_o much_o against_o he_o yea_o and_o have_v go_v about_o too_o exalt_v himself_o as_o though_o god_n have_v do_v he_o wrong_n and_o use_v cruelty_n towards_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v wherein_o job_n be_v condemn_v here_o not_o that_o he_o have_v lead_v a_o lewd_a life_n but_o for_o that_o he_o have_v not_o bear_v his_o adversity_n patient_o enough_o and_o that_o be_v call_v a_o fulfil_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o agree_v to_o their_o fashion_n and_o enormity_n for_o we_o have_v also_o to_o note_n that_o nothing_o be_v more_o precious_a unto_o god_n than_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o name_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o man_n give_v themselves_o some_o to_o whoredom_n some_o to_o outrage_n and_o some_o to_o gluttony_n therein_o god_n justice_n be_v impeach_v and_o the_o order_n that_o he_o have_v set_v among_o we_o be_v pervert_v and_o break_v and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v god_n majesty_n be_v always_o deface_v but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o
in_o we_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o look_v well_o to_o ourselves_o and_o to_o do_v our_o endeavour_n to_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o be_v good_a yea_o very_o for_o although_o a_o man_n strain_v himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a yet_o shall_v he_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o stand_v out_o that_o he_o stumble_v not_o by_o some_o mean_n or_o other_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n forsomuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n consider_v how_o hard_o our_o battle_n be_v for_o if_o we_o labour_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o evil_a let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n will_v hold_v we_o up_o even_o when_o he_o see_v we_o at_o the_o last_o cast_v and_o if_o we_o hold_v on_o and_o enforce_v ourselves_o thereunto_o although_o there_o be_v feebleness_n in_o it_o and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o full_a yet_o will_v god_n accept_v the_o pain_n that_o we_o endure_v and_o take_v they_o in_o good_a worth_n behold_v the_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o give_v we_o courage_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o be_v diligent_a in_o that_o behalf_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o but_o stick_v to_o it_o that_o we_o turn_v not_o aside_o unto_o evil_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o overmuch_o grieve_v when_o god_n beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n i_o say_v let_v we_o labour_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o strive_v against_o he_o that_o we_o murmur_v not_o at_o his_o justice_n for_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o it_o be_v extreme_a wickedness_n when_o man_n lift_v up_o themselves_o after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n and_o be_v so_o stubborn_a as_o they_o can_v think_v well_o of_o his_o do_n too_o glorify_v he_o in_o the_o same_o and_o although_o it_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v such_o a_o evil_a in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n yet_o do_v god_n esteem_v it_o as_o a_o most_o heinous_a crime_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n wherefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o feel_v any_o adversity_n let_v we_o look_v well_o to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v quiet_a and_o submit_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o eliu_n show_v more_o evident_o when_o he_o add_v that_o job_n bid_v choose_v evil_a rather_o than_o affliction_n or_o because_o of_o affliction_n both_o these_o translation_n tend_v to_o one_o end_n which_o be_v that_o job_n bear_v not_o his_o case_n peaceable_o with_o humble_v of_o himself_o but_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n in_o his_o affliction_n and_o consider_v not_o that_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o have_v stoop_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o hold_v he_o in_o his_o power_n if_o a_o man_n ask_v how_o job_n can_v be_v condemn_v of_o such_o sturdiness_n see_v he_o be_v set_v before_o we_o as_o a_o mirror_n of_o patientness_n i_o have_v answer_v that_o question_n already_o namely_o that_o god_n accept_v he_o for_o patient_a and_o certess_n that_o virtue_n be_v commend_v in_o he_o not_o only_o by_o the_o record_n of_o mortal_a man_n but_o also_o by_o the_o record_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o he_o have_v imperfection_n in_o he_o and_o do_v amiss_o in_o some_o respect_n now_o if_o job_n have_v endeavour_v himself_o to_o be_v quiet_a that_o he_o may_v glorify_v god_n and_o know_v and_o publish_v his_o mighty_a power_n be_v blame_v nevertheless_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o the_o patientness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o the_o hartburning_n and_o repine_n that_o be_v in_o we_o we_o be_v so_o coy_a that_o if_o god_n do_v but_o tick_n we_o with_o his_o little_a finger_n we_o be_v by_o and_o by_o in_o a_o pelt_a chafe_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o with_o we_o but_o murmur_v and_o spite_v see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o of_o from_o the_o virtue_n of_o job_n do_v we_o not_o deserve_v to_o be_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o condemn_v than_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v first_o of_o all_o that_o although_o affliction_n

be_v rude_a and_o gross_a witted_a their_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n set_v afore_o they_o must_v not_o be_v with_o cast_v their_o eye_n aside_o at_o they_o with_o a_o glance_n and_o

must_v not_o trust_v in_o their_o own_o reason_n nor_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v skill_n enough_o to_o judge_v of_o they_o but_o consider_v how_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n to_o show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n what_o we_o have_v to_o conceive_v and_o that_o that_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v and_o that_o till_o we_o have_v be_v at_o god_n school_n we_o shall_v have_v but_o a_o dim_a eyesight_n so_o as_o his_o work_n shall_v pass_v away_o before_o we_o and_o we_o not_o perceive_v they_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o to_o do_v and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o shall_v have_v no_o discretion_n at_o all_o until_o god_n have_v make_v we_o wise_a yet_o these_o thing_n need_v not_o so_o great_o to_o be_v lay_v forth_o at_o length_n as_o to_o be_v well_o weigh_v of_o every_o of_o we_o and_o therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o come_v to_o the_o consider_v of_o god_n work_n let_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o wit_n aloft_o to_o reverence_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o honour_v god_n infinite_a wisdom_n power_n and_o righteousness_n which_o appear_v in_o they_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n to_o be_v short_a who_o so_o ever_o think_v upon_o god_n work_n without_o reverence_v of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o yield_v he_o honour_n and_o without_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v full_a of_o wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n he_o be_v unkind_a and_o traitorous_a unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o god_n work_n let_v we_o yield_v this_o reverence_n to_o they_o to_o take_v they_o as_o miracle_n that_o surmount_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o wherein_o god_n utter_v his_o majesty_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o honour_v he_o beside_o this_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o we_o must_v on_o the_o other_o side_n consider_v what_o be_v in_o ourselves_o to_o the_o end_n we_o take_v not_o ourselves_o to_o be_v so_o sharpwitted_a as_o to_o know_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o moment_n then_o let_v we_o be_v content_v to_o breathe_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o conceive_v not_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v weary_a of_o that_o study_n if_o

among_o we_o which_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o subdue_v god_n to_o their_o fantastical_a mind_n though_o they_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o best_a see_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o shall_v they_o be_v fain_o to_o come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o god_n secret_a determination_n be_v above_o we_o but_o they_o be_v utter_o dull_a and_o brutish_a there_o be_v neither_o skill_n nor_o reason_n in_o they_o the_o wine_n overmayster_v they_o like_o swine_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v needs_o play_v the_o divine_n and_o control_v thing_n in_o such_o wise_a that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v now_o adays_o believe_v they_o he_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o frame_v and_o forge_v a_o new_a gospel_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v how_o it_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o when_o we_o talk_v of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o take_v liberty_n too_o plead_v and_o babble_v as_o we_o ourselves_o think_v good_a but_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v revel_v his_o secret_n unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o that_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v submit_v themselves_o thereunto_o too_o honour_v they_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o word_n without_o knowledge_n now_o than_o god_n show_v we_o here_o that_o whensoever_o we_o speak_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o work_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o secrecy_n a_o high_a matter_n on_o the_o other_o side_n what_o be_v it_o that_o we_o can_v bring_v forth_o what_o be_v that_o little_a which_o we_o can_v conceive_v in_o our_o understanding_n it_o be_v but_o word_n without_o knowledge_n let_v man_n put_v themselves_o into_o the_o balance_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v light_a than_o vanity_n itself_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o mark_v this_o doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o skill_n nor_o aptness_n in_o we_o to_o treat_v of_o god_n work_n except_o he_o teach_v we_o the_o way_n for_o we_o too_o become_v wise_a be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o find_v not_o the_o thing_n in_o god_n word_n which_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o abide_v ignorant_a of_o it_o and_o thereupon_o too_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v
