to_o prayer_n thereby_o to_o declare_v that_o we_o have_v great_a need_n that_o god_n shall_v give_v we_o knowledge_n and_o endue_v we_o with_o learning_n to_o give_v he_o praise_v and_o thanks_o and_o to_o show_v how_o we_o acknowledge_v and_o that_o all_o aught_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o confess_v that_o it_o proceed_v of_o gift_n and_o favour_n that_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o knowledge_n

we_o shall_v careful_o and_o diligent_o seek_v wisdom_n as_o if_o we_o perceive_v it_o will_v depart_v from_o we_o and_o will_v forsake_v we_o as_o also_o indeed_o we_o be_v never_o endue_v therewith_o so_o perfect_o but_o that_o yet_o we_o want_v much_o therein_o this_o diligence_n be_v yet_o better_o express_v when_o he_o add_v 4_o if_o thou_o seek_v she_o as_o silver_n as_o the_o

whereas_o be_v silver_n or_o treasure_n hide_v they_o cease_v not_o but_o with_o great_a care_n and_o sore_a diligence_n do_v seek_v and_o dig_v it_o up_o that_o they_o may_v possess_v &_o forsake_v it_o not_o willing_o till_o they_o have_v get_v it_o so_o shall_v the_o child_n of_o god_n apply_v their_o sense_n unto_o wisdom_n and_o to_o have_v all_o their_o delight_n therein_o as_o in_o their_o only_a treasure_n let_v we_o then_o first_o of_o all_o note_n that_o albeit_o wisdom_n will_v have_v her_o child_n like_v unto_o the_o covetous_a yet_o notwithstanding_o she_o allow_v not_o

16._o 1._o have_v not_o such_o a_o desire_n after_o the_o heavenly_a riches_n as_o we_o may_v well_o perceive_v if_o we_o be_v of_o sound_n judgement_n neither_o can_v we_o deny_v it_o unless_o we_o will_v falsify_v our_o lord_n who_o say_v the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o their_o generation_n wise_a than_o the_o child_n of_o light_n 8_o luke_n 16._o 8_o thus_o we_o agree_v not_o
with_o malice_n and_o wickedness_n and_o show_v it_o in_o their_o conversation_n with_o the_o which_o they_o be_v well_o please_v and_o use_v themselves_o in_o this_o sort_n they_o flourish_v and_o

they_o which_o be_v wise_a indeed_o and_o follow_v righteousness_n have_v often_o misery_n and_o calamity_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v tempt_v too_o do_v as_o the_o foolish_a

belong_v to_o they_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o obey_v such_o temptation_n say_v let_v not_o thy_o heart_n be_v envious_a against_o sinner_n here_o solomon_n teach_v we_o in_o brief_a that_o which_o david_n treat_v ample_o in_o the._n 37._o psalm_n wherein_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o to_o be_v envious_a against_o sinner_n be_v in_o regard_v their_o temporal_a prosperity_n to_o be_v

of_o envy_n or_o zeal_n or_o affection_n we_o understand_v that_o solomon_n comprehend_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o signify_v that_o they_o be_v happy_a according_a to_o the_o

as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o it_o seem_v that_o one_o shall_v come_v thither_o but_o too_o soon_o also_o by_o this_o word_n envy_n or_o affection_n solomon_n show_v that_o he_o speak_v to_o they_o which_o be_v miserable_a according_a to_o the_o world_n for_o they_o which_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n think_v not_o on_o other_o man_n estate_n to_o desire_v they_o except_o they_o be_v unsatiable_a glutton_n which_o know_v nothing_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v note_v we_o second_o when_o he_o put_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n against_o ewie_n or_o zeal_n that_o they_o which_o suffer_v themselves_o 6._o prou._n 16._o 6._o to_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o such_o envy_n or_o affection_n have_v no_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o by_o the_o same_o they_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o evil_a and_o when_o one_o desire_v to_o prosper_v as_o the_o wicked_a do_v there_o be_v no_o evil_a whereto_o he_o give_v not_o himself_o to_o come_v to_o his_o desire_n and_o when_o after_o have_v speak_v here_o afore_o of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o speech_n of_o righteous_a thing_n he_o admonish_v we_o to_o the_o fear_n of_o lord_n he_o show_v that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o fear_v the_o lord_n we_o be_v void_a and_o naked_a of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o although_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o that_o otherwise_o it_o can_v be_v but_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v permanent_a yet_o nevertheless_o when_o solomon_n add_v continual_o he_o say_v no_o superfluous_a thing_n but_o expound_v to_o we_o more_o clear_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o the_o

the_o outward_a appearance_n sinner_n floorishe_a and_o prosper_v and_o that_o misery_n assail_v on_o all_o side_n they_o which_o fear_v god_n as_o though_o they_o shall_v perish_v without_o

it_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n to_o say_v that_o solomon_n yield_v a_o reason_n why_o one_o shall_v not_o envy_v sinner_n when_o he_o say_v for_o sure_o there_o be_v a_o end_n etc._n etc._n the_o
