we_o see_v what_o counsel_n god_n give_v unto_o such_o man_n as_o be_v snare_v with_o suertiship_n which_o follow_v in_o the_o 3._o verse_n in_o these_o word_n do_v this_o now_o my_o son_n &_o deliver_v thyself_o see_v thou_o 3_o be_v come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o thy_o neighbour_n go_v and_o humble_v thyself_o &_o solicit_v thy_o friend_n etc._n etc._n in_o this_o three_o verse_n we_o see_v the_o fatherlie_a love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o solomon_n to_o the_o son_n he_o first_o check_v he_o with_o the_o word_n of_o his_o own_o mouth_n thou_o see_v how_o thou_o be_v take_v with_o thy_o own_o word_n and_o snare_v in_o thy_o own_o folly_n thou_o must_v take_v it_o to_o thyself_o then_o have_v thus_o check_v he_o for_o his_o fault_n he_o do_v not_o here_o leave_v he_o to_o himself_o but_o give_v he_o a_o remedy_n by_o this_o practice_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o solomon_n be_v many_o reprehend_v which_o will_v say_v when_o man_n be_v in_o trouble_n thou_o through_o thy_o own_o folly_n have_v bring_v thyself_o into_o trouble_n get_v out_o as_o thou_o can_v for_o all_o i_o they_o will_v lay_v out_o the_o folly_n of_o their_o brethren_n and_o set_v their_o sin_n before_o they_o but_o they_o will_v not_o help_v to_o bind_v up_o their_o wound_n like_o the_o good_a samaritane_n they_o can_v point_v and_o laugh_v at_o the_o nakedness_n of_o their_o bretheron_o as_o ham_n that_o curse_a luke_n child_n of_o noah_n do_v at_o his_o father_n nakedness_n but_o they_o will_v not_o take_v any_o pain_n 23._o to_o cover_v their_o nakedness_n as_o bless_v sem_fw-mi and_o japheth_n do_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o godly_a will_v help_v up_o their_o brethren_n which_o be_v fall_v through_o 1._o occasion_n &_o that_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n consider_v themselves_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v lest_o they_o also_o be_v tempt_v and_o here_o be_v a_o holy_a difference_n between_o charitable_a upbraid_v and_o uncharitable_a condemn_v for_o satan_n can_v tell_v man_n of_o their_o folly_n &_o when_o they_o be_v down_o he_o can_v lay_v load_n upon_o they_o yea_o it_o be_v his_o joy_n to_o see_v the_o chidren_n of_o god_n under_o foot_n &_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o devilish_a imitation_n when_o man_n see_v their_o brethren_n down_o they_o will_v check_v they_o but_o they_o will_v not_o put_v their_o little_a finger_n to_o help_v they_o up_o again_o and_o this_o i_o say_v be_v a_o very_a devilish_a imitation_n indeed_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o with_o the_o child_n of_o god_n they_o imitate_v their_o merciful_a god_n and_o father_n in_o heaven_n for_o god_n indeed_o will_v not_o spare_v his_o people_n but_o he_o will_v also_o tell_v they_o how_o to_o rise_v again_o as_o in_o esay_n the_o 1._o when_o the_o lord_n have_v tell_v 1._o the_o jew_n of_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o with_o what_o bloody_a hand_n and_o heart_n they_o keep_v his_o sabbath_n his_o new_a moon_n and_o other_o day_n appint_v all_o which_o his_o soul_n do_v abhor_v because_o of_o their_o wickedness_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v wash_v you_o and_o be_v clean_a and_o then_o let_v we_o reason_n together_o &_o then_o though_o your_o sin_n be_v as_o red_a as_o scarlet_a yet_o i_o will_v make_v they_o as_o white_a as_o snow_n so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n will_v tell_v their_o brethrenof_n their_o sin_n and_o raise_v they_o up_o again_o to_o their_o power_n and_o comfort_v they_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o if_o there_o be_v charity_n in_o we_o we_o will_v not_o choke_v they_o with_o their_o sin_n but_o admonish_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o any_o case_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o press_v they_o down_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o our_o hand_n to_o go_v under_o to_o lift_v they_o up_o again_o and_o we_o must_v not_o rebuke_v they_o slenderlie_o neither_o but_o lay_v out_o thy_o brother_n sin_n to_o the_o most_o that_o when_o he_o shall_v see_v they_o uncase_v and_o unfold_v he_o may_v see_v the_o hide_a mischief_n that_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o they_o before_o and_o so_o take_v better_a heed_n of_o they_o another_o time_n but_o still_o take_v pity_n of_o he_o now_o man_n will_v charge_v the_o preacher_n with_o rail_v &_o malice_n &_o i_o know_v not_o what_o if_o he_o be_v earnest_a in_o rebuke_v man_n sin_n and_o in_o tell_v thou_o what_o the_o lord_n say_v as_o to_o ring_v the_o alarm_n bell_n when_o he_o see_v the_o enemy_n come_v upon_o thou_o but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v be_v paul_n become_v your_o enemy_n because_o he_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n what_o do_v the_o preacher_n reprove_v thy_o fault_n he_o do_v so_o but_o do_v he_o not_o also_o give_v thou_o a_o remedy_n for_o thy_o sin_n as_o he_o rebuke_v thy_o sin_n why_o do_v thou_o say_v then_o he_o have_v a_o delight_n to_o check_v and_o and_o taunt_v and_o to_o be_v gird_v at_o thou_o when_o thy_o conscience_n be_v bite_v a_o little_a and_o this_o also_o show_v how_o man_n ought_v to_o deal_v with_o man_n &_o thou_o ought_v to_o make_v a_o profit_n of_o thy_o very_a enemy_n as_o man_n make_v physic_n of_o poison_n for_o thy_o enemy_n will_v tell_v thou_o of_o that_o which_o thy_o worldly_a friend_n will_v not_o tell_v thou_o for_o fear_n they_o shall_v displease_v thou_o and_o although_o he_o speak_v in_o envy_n and_o malice_n unto_o thou_o which_o be_v his_o fault_n yet_o see_v whether_o it_o be_v so_o and_o then_o know_v that_o god_n have_v open_v his_o eye_n for_o thy_o welfare_n as_o he_o open_v the_o mouth_n of_o balam_n 23._o ass_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o master_n now_o to_o the_o counsel_n itself_o wherein_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v two_o thing_n first_o what_o be_v the_o particular_a point_n thereof_o surety_n second_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o the_o same_o as_o touch_v the_o particular_a 3._o point_n of_o the_o counsel_n which_o god_n give_v 4._o unto_o surety_n they_o be_v three_o 1._o go_v humble_a thyself_o 2._o solicit_v thy_o friend_n 3._o give_v no_o sleep_n to_o thy_o eye_n nor_o slumber_n to_o thy_o eye_n lid_n first_o he_o faith_n go_v humble_a thy_o felfer_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o must_v go_v to_o his_o creditor_n &_o in_o good_a word_n submit_v himself_o to_o his_o courtesy_n crave_v some_o respite_n to_o pay_v the_o debt_n or_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v this_o be_v hard_a counsel_n if_o we_o consider_v to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v namely_o to_o ambitious_a mind_a man_n that_o stand_v upon_o his_o credit_n such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v not_o hear_v common_o of_o any_o such_o matter_n for_o stomach_n but_o indeed_o say_v god_n by_o solomon_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o go_v and_o humble_a thyself_o and_o to_o beat_v down_o that_o ambitious_a humour_n yea_o if_o thou_o go_v in_o silk_n and_o velvet_n or_o if_o thou_o wear_v gold_n and_o silver_n this_o be_v the_o counsel_n that_o god_n give_v thou_o go_v and_o humble_v thyself_o but_o the_o world_n can_v sort_n shift_v it_o many_o way_n better_a than_o this_o shall_v i_o go_v and_o humble_a myself_o say_v one_o not_o i_o i_o can_v convey_v away_o my_o good_n under_o a_o col_fw-fr lution_n &_o a_o false_a title_n &_o then_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v &_o this_o be_v a_o cunning_a shift_n when_o search_n be_v make_v there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v find_v but_o a_o block_n end_n &_o a_o pillow_n stuff_v with_o goat_n hair_n shall_v i_o go_v humble_a myself_o say_v another_o not_o i_o i_o will_v go_v to_o prison_n and_o lie_v sort_n there_o while_o i_o live_v rather_o they_o i_o will_v pay_v the_o debt_n i_o will_v hold_v he_o tack_n with_o his_o own_o so_o there_o they_o will_v lie_v &_o spend_v their_o creditor_n bankrupt_n money_n and_o sure_o this_o be_v a_o spiteful_a shift_n and_o a_o common_a shift_n of_o all_o bankrupt_n will_v they_o go_v humble_a themselves_o and_o seek_v for_o favour_n no_o then_o will_v they_o build_v &_o go_v brave_o in_o their_o extreme_a poverty_n and_o when_o they_o owe_v a_o thousand_o pound_n more_o than_o they_o be_v worth_a they_o will_v defy_v their_o creditor_n to_o their_o face_n &_o set_v all_o at_o six_o and_o seven_o think_v that_o they_o can_v but_o go_v to_o prison_n these_o man_n seek_v to_o overthrow_v all_o law_n they_o will_v do_v what_o they_o listen_v they_o will_v spend_v other_o man_n money_n at_o die_n and_o card_n they_o can_v delude_v the_o law_n and_o mock_v magistrate_n in_o despite_n of_o their_o tooth_n therefore_o these_o man_n will_v be_v hamper_v by_o the_o godly_a magistrate_n for_o the_o prison_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v a_o place_n of_o pleasure_n for_o bankerupt_v and_o cozener_n to_o
