infect_v it_o torment_v it_o condemn_v it_o will_v a_o servant_n reach_v the_o cup_n to_o a_o stranger_n when_o his_o master_n call_v for_o it_o or_o will_v a_o man_n sell_v his_o coat_n if_o he_o

so_o unapt_a and_o untoward_a that_o it_o can_v turn_v itself_o to_o any_o good_a therefore_o god_n suit_n have_v so_o hard_a passage_n in_o man_n counsel_n judgement_n and_o parliament_n because_o

so_o they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v not_o our_o kingdom_n but_o thy_o kingdom_n it_o be_v not_o our_o church_n but_o thy_o church_n therefore_o not_o our_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n not_o our_o law_n

our_o will_n not_o thy_o law_n but_o our_o law_n not_o thy_o discipline_n but_o our_o discipline_n because_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o seek_v their_o own_o glory_n and_o not_o christ_n phil._n

which_o be_v call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n 7_o they_o remember_v be_v wise_a as_o serpent_n 1●_n but_o they_o forget_v be_v simple_a as_o dove_n he_o which_o be_v like_o achitophel_n be_v

yes_o yes_o if_o they_o be_v not_o teach_v to_o be_v simple_a as_o dove_n 6._o but_o this_o wisdom_n come_v not_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n but_o by_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o think_v of_o death_n when_o they_o go_v about_o such_o matter_n but_o say_v like_o the_o serpent_n 3_o we_o shall_v not_o die_v two_o thing_n i_o note_v in_o these_o word_n first_o that_o if_o we_o will_v find_v wisdom_n we_o must_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o seek_v she_o they_o that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o touch_v the_o first_o moses_n find_v some_o fault_n with_o himself_o that_o for_o all_o he_o have_v hear_v &_o see_v and_o observe_v and_o be_v count_v wise_a yet_o he_o be_v new_a to_o begin_v and_o have_v not_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o learn_v wisdom_n 2._o like_o the_o wise_a man_n which_o say_v i_o be_o more_o foolish_a than_o any_o man_n i_o have_v not_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o man_n in_o i_o so_o unsatiable_a and_o covetous_a as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n the_o more_o wisdom_n and_o faith_n and_o zeal_n they_o have_v the_o more_o they_o desire_v moses_n speak_v of_o wisdom_n as_o if_o it_o be_v physic_n which_o do_v no_o good_a before_o it_o be_v apply_v and_o the_o part_n to_o apply_v it_o too_o be_v the_o heart_n where_o all_o man_n affection_n be_v to_o love_v it_o and_o cherish_v it_o like_o a_o kind_a hostess_n when_o the_o heart_n seek_v it_o findetha_n though_o it_o be_v bring_v unto_o she_o like_o abraham_n ram_n therefore_o god_n say_v they_o shall_v seek_v i_o 13._o &_o find_v i_o because_o they_o shall_v 〈◊〉_d i_o with_o their_o 〈◊〉_d as_o though_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v he_o with_o all_o their_o seek_n unless_o they_o do_v seek_v he_o with_o their_o heart_n therefore_o the_o way_n to_o get_v wisdom_n be_v to_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v your_o call_n and_o live_v to_o which_o you_o be_v bind_v prentice_n a_o man_n may_v apply_v his_o ear_n &_o his_o eye_n as_o many_o truant_n do_v to_o their_o book_n &_o yet_o never_o prove_v scholar_n but_o from_o that_o day_n which_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o apply_v his_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n he_o learn_v more_o in_o a_o month_n after_o than_o he_o do_v in_o a_o year_n before_o nay_o then_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life_n even_o as_o you_o see_v the_o wicked_a because_o they_o apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wickedness_n how_o fast_o they_o proceed_v how_o easy_o and_o how_o quick_o they_o become_v perfect_a swearer_n expert_a drunkard_n cunning_a deceiver_n so_o if_o you_o can_v apply_v your_o heart_n as_o thorough_o to_o knowledge_n and_o goodness_n you_o may_v become_v like_o the_o apostle_n which_o teach_v you_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n show_v man_n the_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o wisdom_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o give_v thy_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n 10._o let_v wisdom_n enter_v into_o thy_o heart_n get_v wisdom_n keep_v wisdom_n 8._o embrace_v wisdom_n as_o though_o a_o man_n go_v a_o woo_n for_o wisdom_n wisdom_n be_v like_o god_n daughter_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o man_n that_o love_v she_o and_o sue_v for_o she_o and_o mean_v to_o set_v she_o at_o his_o heart_n thus_o we_o have_v learn_v how_o to_o apply_v knowledge_n that_o it_o may_v do_v we_o good_a not_o to_o our_o ear_n like_o they_o which_o hear_v sermon_n only_o nor_o to_o our_o tongue_n like_v they_o which_o make_v table_n talk_v of_o religion_n but_o to_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v say_v like_o the_o virgin_n 1._o my_o heart_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o heart_n will_v apply_v it_o to_o the_o ear_n 14_o and_o to_o the_o tongue_n as_o christ_n say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v the_o last_o point_n be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n moses_n commend_v not_o many_o book_n to_o make_v a_o wise_a man_n learn_v but_o as_o david_n commend_v one_o book_n in_o stead_n of_o many_o 2._o meditate_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o reading_z of_o many_o book_n say_v solomon_n be_v but_o weariness_n to_o the_o flesh_n 12._o therefore_o as_o though_o moses_n have_v mark_v what_o do_v move_v he_o most_o to_o seek_v after_o god_n he_o pray_v that_o that_o thought_n may_v run_v in_o his_o mind_n still_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n as_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o death_n so_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v one_o it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n for_o when_o he_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n to_o live_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o spend_v it_o well_o 26._o like_o moses_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o he_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v but_o a_o season_n to_o live_v he_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o old_a man_n fast_o and_o watch_v and_o prepare_v themselves_o more_o than_o young_a because_o they_o think_v themselves_o near_o the_o door_n like_o old_a isaac_n which_o when_o he_o be_v blind_a for_o age_n say_v unto_o esau_n 2._o behold_v i_o be_o now_o old_a and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n that_o be_v because_o i_o be_o old_a i_o look_v to_o die_v short_o and_o therefore_o as_o esay_n teach_v ezechias_n 1_o to_o set_v all_o thing_n in_o order_n before_o he_o die_v so_o he_o call_v his_o elder_a son_n to_o who_o he_o think_v that_o the_o inheritance_n belong_v that_o he_o may_v bless_v he_o before_o he_o die_v this_o wisdom_n the_o father_n call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o call_v the_o best_a because_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremie_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n &_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o last_o he_o impute_v all_o to_o this_o 9_o she_o remember_v not_o her_o end_n so_o if_o i_o may_v judge_v why_o natural_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pomp_n why_o great_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o honour_n and_o dignity_n why_o covetous_a worldling_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o gain_n why_o voluptuous_a epicure_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pleasure_n i_o may_v say_v with_o jeremie_n they_o rememember_v not_o their_o end_n we_o never_o covet_v the_o same_o thing_n live_v and_o die_v therefore_o when_o solomon_n have_v speak_v of_o all_o

so_o when_o we_o go_v to_o pray_v we_o must_v leave_v our_o passion_n and_o affection_n and_o lust_n behind_o lest_o they_o trouble_v we_o like_o the_o fowl_n which_o hinder_v abraham_n in_o his_o

he_o now_o to_o inform_v we_o what_o prayer_n delight_v god_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o the_o four_o verse_n shewe_a that_o he_o have_v the_o

more_o needful_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o want_v continual_o and_o we_o be_v tempt_v continual_o and_o we_o sin_n continual_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n continual_o that_o god_n will_v supply_v our_o want_n and_o forgive_v our_o sin_n and_o prevent_v our_o temptation_n to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v pray_v daily_a christ_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o

continual_o need_v of_o god_n shall_v pray_v continual_o unto_o he_o but_o as_o some_o answer_v christ_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o saint_n johns_n gospel_n who_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o so_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o who_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v continual_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o twelve_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n teach_v we_o a_o reasonable_a service_n of_o god_n here_o he_o seem_v to_o enjoin_v we_o a_o unreasonable_a service_n of_o god_n for_o who_o do_v ever_o pray_v continual_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v pray_v continual_o when_o shall_v we_o hear_v or_o preach_v or_o when_o

to_o pray_v continual_o because_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o prayer_n but_o if_o you_o imagine_v that_o this_o commandment_n be_v break_v if_o your_o lip_n be_v not_o always_o go_v which_o

read_v how_o peter_n and_o john_n go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o to_o pray_v continual_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n continual_o unto_o god_n 4._o &_o to_o pray_v in_o our_o thought_n as_o moses_n do_v though_o we_o open_v not_o our_o lip_n and_o so_o we_o may_v pray_v continual_o as_o when_o a_o good_a man_n be_v to_o answer_v before_o the_o

yet_o we_o read_v how_o they_o plead_v against_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o syllogize_v to_o their_o sin_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v continue_v as_o they_o be_v 9_o because_o there_o have_v be_v no_o change_n yet_o 4._o even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o 1._o as_o the_o fool_n say_v in_o his_o hart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n so_o we_o say_v in_o our_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o death_n or_o at_o least_o death_n will_v not_o come_v before_o we_o be_v old_a of_o all_o number_n we_o can_v skill_v to_o number_v our_o day_n we_o can_v number_v our_o sheep_n &_o our_o ox_n &_o our_o coin_n but_o we_o think_v that_o our_o day_n be_v infinite_a &_o therefore_o we_o never_o go_v about_o to_o number_v they_o we_o can_v number_v other_o man_n day_n and_o year_n &_o think_v they_o will_v die_v ere_o it_o be_v long_o if_o we_o see_v they_o sick_a or_o sore_o or_o old_a but_o we_o can_v not_o number_v our_o own_o when_o two_o ship_n meet_v on_o the_o sea_n they_o which_o be_v in_o one_o ship_n think_v that_o the_o other_o ship_n do_v sail_v exceed_v fast_o but_o that_o their_o ship_n go_v fair_a and_o soft_o or_o rather_o stand_v still_o although_o in_o truth_n one_o ship_n sail_v as_o fast_o as_o the_o other_o so_o every_o man_n think_v that_o other_o post_n and_o run_v and_o fly_v to_o the_o grave_n but_o that_o himself_o stand_v stock_n still_o although_o indeed_o a_o year_n with_o he_o be_v no_o long_o than_o it_o be_v with_o other_o beside_o that_o we_o be_v give_v to_o forget_v death_n we_o strive_v to_o forget_v it_o like_v they_o which_o say_v we_o may_v not_o remember_v teach_v i_o to_o number_v my_o day_n 10._o nay_o teach_v i_o to_o multiply_v my_o day_n teach_v i_o to_o remember_v death_n nay_o teach_v i_o to_o prolong_v death_n or_o if_o i_o can_v prolong_v death_n teach_v i_o to_o forget_v death_n that_o i_o may_v sin_v without_o fear_n for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v a_o man_n to_o sin_n fearful_o &_o take_v away_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n therefore_o if_o you_o mark_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o man_n which_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v of_o death_n they_o be_v sick_a with_o the_o name_n of_o it_o the_o reason_n be_v achab_n can_v abide_v michaiah_n 22._o because_o he_o never_o prophesy_v good_a unto_o he_o but_o evil_n so_o death_n never_o prophesy_v good_a to_o the_o wicked_a but_o evil_n for_o which_o they_o can_v abide_v it_o therefore_o as_o pharaoh_n bid_v moses_n go_v out_o of_o his_o sight_n so_o they_o bid_v death_n go_v out_o of_o their_o sight_n and_o say_v when_o he_o come_v as_o achab_n say_v to_o eliah_n be_v thou_o here_o my_o enemy_n when_o they_o shall_v say_v welcome_o my_o friend_n for_o as_o the_o devil_n thought_n christ_n be_v come_v to_o torment_v they_o so_o the_o ungodly_a think_v that_o death_n come_v to_o torment_v they_o be_v it_o peace_n when_o they_o see_v death_n they_o doubt_v it_o be_v not_o peace_n because_o they_o never_o love_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n o_o that_o i_o can_v bring_v you_o into_o their_o heart_n that_o you_o may_v see_v more_o than_o tongue_n can_v express_v for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o any_o epicure_n or_o worldling_n or_o nonresident_a have_v any_o joy_n to_o think_v of_o death_n or_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o rather_o that_o he_o may_v never_o be_v dissolve_v because_o death_n come_v to_o the_o wicked_a like_o a_o jailer_n which_o come_v always_o to_o hale_v unto_o prison_n therefore_o their_o care_n be_v not_o to_o remember_v death_n that_o they_o may_v apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n but_o to_o forget_v death_n lest_o they_o shall_v apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n and_o loose_v their_o pleasure_n before_o the_o time_n for_o he_o which_o be_v not_o purpose_v yet_o to_o leave_v his_o sin_n will_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o any_o thought_n that_o may_v make_v he_o take_v his_o pleasure_n fearful_o lest_o he_o shall_v leave_v sin_n before_o sin_n leave_v he_o therefore_o the_o devil_n do_v never_o teach_v a_o man_n to_o number_v his_o day_n because_o he_o gain_v by_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n but_o the_o lord_n which_o will_v have_v a_o man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n it_o be_v he_o which_o teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n and_o therefore_o moses_n pray_v unto_o he_o &_o because_o we_o pray_v not_o unto_o he_o as_o he_o do_v to_o teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n therefore_o we_o die_v like_o worm_n before_o we_o be_v aware_a so_o far_o we_o be_v from_o that_o which_o he_o shoot_v at_o to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o the_o way_n unto_o it_o that_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o we_o shall_v die_v the_o last_o point_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o moses_n will_v learn_v to_o number_v his_o day_n that_o he_o may_v apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v until_o man_n think_v upon_o death_n they_o never_o apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n but_o busy_a themselves_o with_o worldly_a matter_n as_o though_o they_o be_v fether_v a_o nest_n that_o shall_v never_o be_v pull_v down_o wisdom_n have_v always_o carry_v that_o show_n of_o excellency_n that_o
