he_o in_o another_o country_n where_o he_o have_v no_o sepulchre_n provide_v herod_n hope_v when_o the_o people_n cry_v at_o his_o word_n it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v

god_n will_v be_v like_a unto_o he_o so_o when_o woman_n take_v more_o pain_n to_o dress_v themselves_o than_o they_o do_v all_o the_o day_n after_o and_o pay_v dear_a to_o maintain_v one_o vice_n than_o they_o need_v to_o learn_v all_o virtue_n they_o think_v to_o please_v man_n by_o it_o but_o god_n resist_v their_o pride_n and_o all_o that_o see_v they_o though_o they_o cap_n and_o curtsy_n to_o they_o yet_o they_o judge_v worse_o of_o they_o and_o think_v that_o they_o will_v not_o wear_v these_o sign_n of_o lightness_n and_o pride_n unless_o they_o be_v light_a and_o proud_a indeed_o thus_o if_o their_o apparel_n condemn_v they_o before_o man_n how_o will_v it_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n if_o sin_n do_v not_o blind_v they_o will_v they_o so_o deceive_v themselves_o to_o take_v the_o contrary_a way_n and_o think_v that_o shall_v honour_v they_o which_o disgrace_v other_o 22._o but_o as_o balaam_n be_v stop_v &_o know_v not_o who_o stop_v he_o so_o they_o be_v resist_v and_o know_v not_o who_o resist_v they_o though_o they_o do_v all_o to_o please_v yet_o they_o can_v please_v none_o they_o please_v not_o god_n for_o god_n resist_v they_o they_o please_v not_o the_o humble_a for_o the_o humble_a be_v contrary_a to_o they_o they_o please_v not_o the_o proud_a for_o the_o proud_a do_v envy_v they_o which_o strive_v to_o be_v as_o proud_a as_o they_o they_o please_v not_o themselves_o because_o they_o can_v be_v so_o proud_a and_o brave_a as_o they_o will_v be_v only_o they_o please_v the_o devil_n because_o their_o pride_n do_v entitle_v he_o to_o they_o thus_o much_o of_o god_n battle_n against_o the_o proud_a here_o peter_n leave_v the_o proud_a with_o this_o brand_n in_o their_o forehead_n this_o be_v the_o man_n who_o god_n resist_v then_o he_o turn_v to_o the_o lowly_a and_o comfort_v they_o but_o he_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o be_v like_o john_n the_o belove_a disciple_n which_o lean_v on_o christ_n bosom_n john_n 13._o 23._o though_o god_n resist_v the_o proud_a yet_o he_o will_v not_o frown_v upon_o you_o but_o when_o he_o resist_v they_o he_o will_v give_v grace_n unto_o you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v the_o proud_a be_v without_o grace_n for_o god_n give_v not_o grace_n unto_o the_o proud_a but_o to_o the_o humble_a according_a to_o that_o to_o esay_n 66._o 2._o to_o he_o will_v i_o look_v even_o to_o he_o that_o be_v poor_a &_o of_o a_o contrite_a heart_n and_o tremble_v at_o my_o word_n therefore_o learn_v of_o i_o say_v christ_n to_o be_v humble_a &_o meek_a 11._o as_o though_o the_o humble_a and_o meek_a be_v his_o scholar_n therefore_o god_n must_v needs_o love_v the_o humble_a because_o they_o be_v like_o his_o son_n they_o shall_v have_v his_o best_a gift_n of_o which_o he_o say_v 2._o cor._n 12._o 9_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o which_o have_v give_v you_o his_o grace_n can_v he_o deny_v you_o any_o thing_n as_o christ_n say_v he_o which_o have_v give_v we_o his_o son_n will_v he_o not_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n with_o he_o therefore_o grace_n may_v be_v call_v the_o gift_n of_o gift_n because_o all_o gift_n come_v with_o grace_n as_o the_o court_n go_v with_o the_o queen_n therefore_o fear_v not_o to_o be_v humble_a lest_o you_o be_v contemn_v for_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v make_v to_o humility_n and_o yet_o man_n fear_v to_o be_v humble_a lest_o they_o shall_v be_v contemn_v humility_n do_v not_o make_v john_n contemptible_a but_o when_o he_o refuse_v the_o name_n of_o a_o prophet_n christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v more_o than_o a_o prophet_n mat._n 11._o 2._o humility_n do_v not_o make_v moses_n contemptible_a but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o mild_a man_n upon_o earth_n so_o he_o be_v the_o great_a upon_o the_o earth_n numb_a 12._o humility_n do_v not_o make_v david_n contemptible_a but_o when_o he_o humble_v himself_o he_o say_v unto_o micol_n i_o will_v be_v more_o humble_a yet_o and_o lowly_a in_o my_o own_o sight_n yet_o thou_o and_o thy_o maid_n shall_v honour_v i_o 2._o sam._n 6._o 22._o as_o christ_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v a_o king_n because_o he_o be_v like_o a_o servant_n nor_o to_o be_v a_o lion_n because_o he_o be_v like_o a_o lamb_n nor_o to_o be_v god_n because_o he_o be_v make_v man_n nor_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n because_o he_o be_v judge_v so_o man_n do_v not_o loose_v his_o honour_n by_o humility_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v honour_v for_o his_o humility_n as_o the_o son_n be_v honour_v when_o he_o be_v humble_v luk._n 15._o 8._o thus_o humility_n have_v find_v that_o which_o pride_n seek_v like_o little_a david_n which_o be_v least_o account_v of_o and_o yet_o get_v the_o victory_n yea_o when_o no_o man_n dare_v encounter_v with_o the_o giant_n 1._o

against_o you_o but_o be_v humble_a and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n belong_v to_o you_o so_o long_o as_o thou_o be_v proud_a and_o read_v this_o sentence_n god_n give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a thou_o may_v say_v to_o thy_o soul_n soul_n thou_o have_v no_o part_n herein_o for_o grace_n be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o humble_a and_o the_o dowry_n of_o the_o meek_a and_o the_o treasure_n of_o

that_o will_v know_v now_o of_o what_o stand_v such_o precise_a reproover_n be_v and_o how_o ancient_a this_o reproof_n be_v may_v see_v here_o that_o if_o this_o be_v a_o crime_n to_o call_v vanity_n

for_o rachel_n if_o they_o be_v lie_v vanity_n and_o deceitful_a vanity_n then_o be_v they_o woeful_a &_o miserable_a vanity_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o salomon_n conclusion_n to_o

for_o if_o she_o be_v any_o where_o in_o this_o land_n this_o be_v her_o pontisical_a seat_n where_o she_o be_v never_o nonresident_a now_o i_o will_v leave_v you_o to_o examine_v these_o say_n

be_v who_o have_v turn_v so_o many_o good_a thing_n to_o vanity_n yet_o to_o set_v you_o in_o the_o way_n before_o i_o end_n i_o will_v answer_v they_o which_o ask_v if_o all_o thing_n be_v vanity_n as_o solomon_n say_v 10._o tell_v we_o what_o we_o shall_v choose_v that_o we_o be_v not_o vain_a christ_n say_v that_o one_o thing_n be_v necessary_a be_v solomon_n contrary_a to_o christ_n no_o therefore_o one_o thing_n solomon_n except_v too_o to_o fear_n god_n &_o keep_v his_o commandment_n therefore_o if_o all_o be_v vain_a but_o this_o 4._o let_v the_o tempter_n take_v thou_o up_o

the_o ark_n as_o merry_o as_o herodias_n dance_v before_o the_o king_n 14_o so_o know_v undoubted_o that_o the_o righteous_a find_v more_o joy_n in_o goodness_n than_o ever_o the_o wicked_a find_v

and_o so_o shall_v the_o people_n be_v leave_v without_o a_o guide_n to_o go_v in_o and_o out_o before_o they_o and_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v ready_a and_o a_o fit_a pray_v for_o the_o wolf_n well_o we_o see_v that_o josua_n here_o be_v better_a encourage_v and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o a_o cause_n that_o god_n will_v have_v josua_n thus_o encourage_v for_o if_o he_o have_v a_o ear_n
