our_o friend_n than_o the_o more_o power_n there_o be_v in_o god_n the_o more_o be_v our_o comfort_n but_o if_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n and_o displease_v with_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n than_o our_o terror_n be_v the_o great_a because_o he_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o powerful_a to_o destroy_v and_o bring_v we_o to_o nothing_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o make_v god_n our_o friend_n and_o father_n and_o then_o the_o more_o power_n there_o be_v in_o god_n the_o more_o will_v be_v our_o comfort_n now_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o attribute_n that_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o this_o there_o be_v divers_a particular_n to_o be_v observe_v 1._o who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v god_n 2._o what_o he_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o they_o 3._o how_o he_o make_v they_o or_o with_o what_o instrument_n with_o his_o word_n 4._o of_o what_o he_o make_v the_o world_n of_o nothing_o 5._o in_o what_o estate_n he_o make_v the_o world_n in_o a_o good_a estate_n 6._o in_o what_o time_n he_o make_v it_o in_o six_o day_n whereas_o he_o may_v have_v make_v it_o in_o a_o moment_n or_o in_o six_o hour_n but_o for_o singular_a cause_n he_o be_v six_o day_n a_o make_v the_o world_n 7._o in_o what_o order_n he_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n at_o first_o the_o heaven_n for_o man_n to_o rest_v in_o and_o earth_n for_o man_n to_o labour_v in_o 8._o to_o what_o end_n he_o make_v it_o to_o convey_v his_o glory_n and_o his_o goodness_n to_o his_o creature_n first_o earth_n who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o be_v god_n no_o man_n nor_o angel_n make_v it_o nor_o it_o make_v not_o itself_o but_o god_n make_v it_o genesis_n 1._o 1._o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o so_o paul_n say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o i_o preach_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v turn_v from_o these_o vain_a idol_n unto_o the_o live_a god_n that_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o in_o they_o be_v so_o heb._n 3._o 4._o for_o every_o house_n be_v build_v by_o some_o man_n but_o he_o that_o have_v build_v all_o thing_n be_v god_n so_o than_o the_o point_n be_v clear_v none_o can_v deny_v it_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o first_o 1_o see_v god_n make_v the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v not_o make_v by_o man_n nor_o angel_n same_o neither_o do_v it_o make_v itself_o but_o god_n make_v it_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o comfort_n or_o any_o delight_n to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o creature_n god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o to_o be_v thank_v for_o it_o for_o we_o can_v make_v a_o stick_n nor_o a_o straw_n a_o feather_n a_o ear_n of_o corn_n nor_o a_o stalk_n of_o grass_n therefore_o see_v god_n have_v make_v a_o number_n of_o good_a thing_n for_o our_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n god_n be_v to_o be_v thank_v for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v set_v up_o a_o house_n for_o a_o poor_a man_n to_o dwell_v in_o simile_n so_o often_o as_o he_o look_v on_o the_o house_n he_o think_v of_o the_o good_a will_n of_o he_o that_o set_v up_o the_o house_n so_o god_n have_v set_v up_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v to_o cover_v we_o earth_n to_o bear_v we_o sea_n and_o land_n to_o feed_v we_o therefore_o so_o often_o as_o we_o look_v on_o any_o of_o these_o we_o be_v to_o be_v thankful_a so_o david_n psal_n 8._o 1._o o_o lord_n how_o excellent_a be_v thy_o name_n in_o all_o the_o world_n who_o have_v set_v thy_o glory_n above_o the_o heavan_n and_o verse_n 4._o what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o be_v so_o mindful_a of_o he_o and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o visite_a he_o so_o david_n affection_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o second_o 2._o see_v god_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o displease_v he_o all_o for_o he_o that_o make_v all_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v all_o as_o it_o be_v gen._n 6._o

creep_a thing_n therefore_o see_v he_o make_v all_o take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o sin_n against_o he_o remember_v what_o be_v say_v esai_n 51._o 12._o ay_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o comfort_v you_o who_o be_v thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v fear_v a_o mortal_a man_n and_o the_o son_n of_o man_n who_o shall_v be_v make_v as_o grass_n and_o forget_v the_o lord_n thy_o maker_n etc._n etc._n we_o see_v man_n be_v afraid_a of_o man_n to_o displease_v they_o but_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v much_o more_o afraid_a of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n who_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v all_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v hang_v from_o the_o top_n of_o a_o high_a tower_n by_o a_o twine_n thread_n and_o in_o such_o manner_n simile_n as_o if_o he_o that_o hold_v he_o shall_v let_v it_o go_v he_o will_v dash_v he_o all_o to_o piece_n how_o afraid_a will_v he_o be_v to_o offend_v he_o and_o how_o glad_a to_o please_v he_o so_o we_o all_o hang_v as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o a_o high_a tower_n by_o the_o thread_n of_o our_o life_n god_n hold_v the_o thread_n who_o if_o he_o shall_v forgo_v his_o hold_n we_o fall_v and_o dash_v to_o nothing_o therefore_o how_o afraid_a shall_v we_o be_v to_o offend_v or_o to_o displease_v he_o with_o our_o sin_n and_o careful_a to_o please_v he_o in_o all_o our_o course_n if_o man_n have_v grace_n to_o consider_v this_o they_o will_v not_o live_v in_o know_a sin_n as_o they_o do_v three_o 3_o see_v he_o make_v all_o he_o be_v able_a to_o dispose_v of_o all_o at_o his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n for_o the_o workman_n be_v able_a and_o may_v dispose_v of_o his_o own_o work_n

three_o 3_o we_o may_v prove_v there_o be_v god_n by_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o that_o two_o way_n creature_n 1_o by_o their_o motion_n 2_o by_o their_o multitude_n first_o 1_o by_o

the_o first_o mover_n now_o if_o one_o shall_v ask_v who_o move_v that_o a_o atheist_n must_v needs_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v god_n so_o than_o the_o very_a move_n of_o thing_n do_v show_v there_o be_v a_o god_n second_o 2_o multitude_n come_v from_o unite_v as_o many_o river_n come_v from_o one_o sea_n multitude_n leave_v from_o one_o stalk_n vein_n in_o the_o body_n from_o one_o liver_n

be_v god_n therefore_o the_o multitude_n of_o creature_n do_v show_v there_o be_v god_n four_o 4_o we_o may_v prove_v there_o be_v a_o god_n by_o our_o own_o conscience_n for_o conscience_n carry_v its_o eye_n direct_o unto_o god_n conscience_n it_o regard_v not_o man_n nor_o look_v to_o his_o law_n but_o direct_o look_v to_o god_n so_o that_o conscience_n be_v a_o mere_a respect_n unto_o god_n which_o although_o it_o may_v be_v corrupt_v yet_o it_o can_v be_v extinguish_v for_o every_o man_n have_v a_o witness_n in_o his_o own_o bosom_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n hence_o we_o gather_v no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o absolute_a atheist_n in_o regard_n of_o judgement_n indeed_o in_o regard_n of_o affection_n he_o may_v be_v for_o a_o little_a season_n yet_o he_o can_v be_v quite_o ignorant_a that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v conscience_n in_o he_o this_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o conscience_n so_o that_o we_o can_v lose_v he_o he_o have_v set_v it_o up_o as_o a_o light_n to_o direct_v we_o to_o he_o and_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n the_o five_o thing_n whereby_o we_o may_v prove_v there_o be_v a_o

the_o more_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o god_n and_o disobey_v his_o word_n the_o more_o we_o have_v find_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n against_o we_o to_o punish_v and_o afflict_v we_o therefore_o although_o we_o have_v not_o a_o bible_n to_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v a_o god_n yet_o our_o own_o experience_n do_v say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n find_v his_o hand_n against_o we_o when_o we_o

that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v 1_o first_o that_o see_v there_o be_v a_o god_n then_o fie_o upon_o the_o atheist_n that_o say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n he_o that_o say_v

two_o time_n there_o be_v a_o time_n of_o mercy_n and_o a_o time_n of_o judgement_n therefore_o do_v thou_o not_o account_n god_n unjust_a though_o good_a and_o bad_a speed_n alike_o he_o make_v the_o
