and_o to_o dry_v they_o up_o we_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o we_o see_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o flower_n and_o this_o be_v a_o cut_v we_o off_o behold_v here_o a_o kind_n of_o death_n which_o last_v not_o for_o a_o day_n or_o twain_o but_o for_o four_o or_o fine_a month_n nevertheless_o although_o the_o life_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v unseen_a yet_o be_v their_o sap_n in_o their_o root_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o wood_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o we_o that_o our_o life_n also_o be_v hide_v how_o be_v it_o not_o in_o ourselves_o for_o that_o be_v a_o poor_a kind_n of_o hide_v there_o shall_v need_v no_o great_a frost_n to_o starve_v it_o up_o nor_o great_a wet_a to_o mar_v it_o for_o we_o carry_v fire_n and_o frost_n enough_o in_o ourselves_o to_o consume_v it_o but_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o god_n he_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o it_o and_o we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o party_n from_o out_o of_o who_o we_o draw_v all_o our_o life_n so_o then_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o say_a headdinesse_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o a_o man_n take_v up_o a_o tree_n and_o purpose_n to_o set_v it_o again_o he_o have_v need_v to_o make_v haste_n for_o if_o a_o tree_n tarry_v any_o long_a time_n above_o the_o ground_n it_o will_v never_o take_v root_n any_o more_o though_o it_o be_v plant_v new_a again_o but_o god_n have_v a_o other_o manner_n of_o power_n than_o the_o laborer_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v nevertheless_o we_o see_v sometime_o that_o man_n be_v cunning_a and_o can_v well_o keep_v a_o tree_n alive_a for_o a_o time_n they_o will_v lay_v it_o in_o a_o shady_a place_n where_o neither_o wound_n nor_o sun_n shall_v come_v at_o it_o to_o dry_v it_o so_o as_o the_o sap_n shall_v always_o be_v keep_v close_o in_o it_o man_n will_v find_v some_o mean_n or_o other_o and_o although_o they_o can_v save_v the_o life_n of_o tree_n for_o ever_o yet_o will_v they_o help_v they_o in_o some_o sort_n and_o let_v not_o we_o think_v that_o when_o god_n list_v to_o keep_v we_o unplanted_a a_o long_a time_n he_o can_v not_o for_o all_o that_o preserve_v we_o yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v hard_o for_o he_o to_o make_v we_o take_v root_n new_a again_o when_o so_o ever_o it_o please_v he_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v exercise_v himself_o and_o give_v his_o whole_a mind_n to_o it_o that_o we_o may_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o the_o similitude_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o for_o to_o conclude_v with_o and_o to_o confirm_v this_o matter_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o god_n will_v never_o lend_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o wicked_a but_o contrariwise_o will_v put_v the_o enemy_n of_o good_a man_n to_o shame_n and_o have_v pity_n of_o the_o â–ª_o good_a man_n continual_o very_o if_o we_o shall_v put_v god_n to_o his_o stint_n to_o say_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n he_o shall_v behave_v himself_o in_o such_o sort_n towards_o we_o as_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v bliss_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o continue_v always_o in_o prosperity_n this_o doctrine_n be_v false_a and_o also_o we_o have_v record_n enough_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n will_v not_o hold_v any_o such_o rule_n here_o as_o that_o they_o who_o father_n and_o saviour_n he_o be_v shall_v live_v at_o their_o ease_n and_o rest_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v not_o expedient_a for_o we_o as_o for_o example_n if_o in_o these_o day_n the_o good_a man_n be_v handle_v gentle_o at_o god_n hand_n and_o have_v all_o thing_n at_o their_o wish_n and_o desire_n and_o that_o the_o wicked_a be_v punish_v rough_o where_o be_v the_o hope_v for_o the_o latter_a day_n we_o shall_v fall_v so_o sound_v asleep_a in_o that_o case_n as_o nothing_o shall_v â–ª_o be_v more_o needful_a than_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v appeate_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o why_o so_o god_n judgement_n shall_v be_v altogether_o apparent_a and_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o other_o hope_n of_o salvation_n we_o see_v then_o that_o although_o god_n suffer_v thing_n to_o be_v confuse_v in_o this_o world_n so_o as_o good_a folk_n be_v torment_v to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o wicked_a folk_n advance_v in_o triumph_n yet_o we_o be_v so_o drowsy_a and_o so_o dull-headed_a as_o we_o can_v not_o be_v move_v to_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o consider_v what_o he_o say_v to_o we_o namely_o that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v as_o yet_o and_o that_o we_o must_v tarry_v till_o it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o this_o consideration_n by_o no_o mean_n no_o not_o although_o god_n provoke_v we_o and_o draw_v we_o to_o it_o as_o it_o be_v by_o force_n what_o will_v we_o do_v then_o if_o god_n dispose_v man_n life_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o all_o be_v well_o order_v there_o and_o no_o man_n endure_v any_o adversity_n but_o that_o man_n may_v say_v behold_v how_o god_n aid_v the_o good_a therewithal_o show_v himself_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o bad_a and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o bear_v with_o they_o nor_o suffer_v they_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v make_v our_o heaven_n here_o and_o we_o will_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o fondness_n to_o wait_v for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v for_o so_o then_o we_o see_v it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n that_o god_n shall_v as_o now_o uphold_v we_o after_o a_o ordinary_a and_o unpartial_a manner_n to_o show_v himself_o favourable_a to_o the_o faithful_a and_o to_o punish_v the_o naughtipack_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o dissemble_v for_o a_o time_n when_o the_o wicked_a overshoot_v themselves_o work_v he_o displeasure_n and_o nothing_o else_o but_o mock_v he_o well_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n be_v a_o sleep_n or_o rather_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a too_o repress_v they_o the_o wicked_a must_v ruffle_v it_o out_o and_o have_v the_o better_a hand_n for_o the_o time_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o good_a be_v trouble_v and_o torment_v god_n must_v not_o succour_n they_o they_o must_v sigh_v after_o he_o and_o cry_v upon_o he_o and_o all_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o if_o they_o be_v hear_v the_o

enough_o and_o here_o we_o must_v also_o rehearse_v other_o text_n of_o scripture_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v much_o more_o precious_a than_o corruptible_a metal_n so_o that_o if_o gold_n and_o silver_n must_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n too_o be_v fyne_v from_o their_o dross_n our_o faith_n must_v also_o be_v try_v so_o much_o the_o more_o thorrowlye_o as_o it_o

of_o a_o hand_n we_o be_v such_o fool_n that_o if_o god_n lift_v not_o up_o his_o hand_n the_o first_o day_n to_o destroy_v such_o as_o have_v offend_v we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o time_n

for_o we_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o offend_v at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o that_o god_n will_v bliss_n those_o that_o be_v he_o that_o he_o will_v

themselves_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v erewhiles_o exalt_v his_o servant_n to_o honour_n and_o dignity_n but_o yet_o do_v they_o not_o cease_v to_o be_v low_o still_o all_o the_o while_n

they_o
see_v a_o man_n afflict_v sure_o we_o can_v perceive_v well_o enough_o that_o the_o same_o come_v of_o god_n for_o forth_o with_o we_o fall_v too_o range_v and_o say_v that_o god_n punish_v such_o a_o

why_o for_o too_o consider_v god_n judgement_n aright_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o and_o foremost_a too_o think_v upon_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o one_o man_n god_n intend_v

all_o then_o if_o any_o man_n be_v scourge_v we_o must_v not_o only_o look_v what_o he_o be_v but_o we_o must_v also_o think_v upon_o ourselves_o and_o sure_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o lift_v up_o

the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o see_v god_n justice_n upon_o a_o man_n ought_v we_o not_o too_o perceive_v that_o we_o ourselves_o have_v deserve_v much_o more_o and_o that_o he_o may_v handle_v we_o

also_o it_o will_v strike_v we_o in_o a_o fear_n and_o to_o know_v the_o condemnation_n that_o hang_v over_o we_o if_o god_n have_v not_o have_v pity_n and_o mercy_n upon_o we_o as_o he_o make_v we_o too_o perceive_v it_o but_o above_o all_o when_o we_o see_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o be_v notable_a that_o be_v too_o say_v which_o be_v worthy_a of_o remembrance_n and_o unaccustomed_a that_o aught_o too_o touch_v we_o more_o too_o the_o quick_a and_o we_o ought_v too_o conceive_v so_o great_a a_o fear_n as_o too_o abash_v we_o that_o we_o dare_v not_o open_v our_o mouth_n as_o

after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o we_o see_v thing_n that_o we_o never_o know_v nor_o think_v of_o before_o as_o there_o be_v dreadful_a punishment_n how_o then_o that_o be_v strange_a there_o be_v never_o any_o such_o thing_n hear_v of_o such_o thing_n say_v i_o shall_v we_o see_v and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o think_v yet_o better_a upon_o they_o for_o when_o god_n see_v we_o asleep_a and_o

that_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n and_o so_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o this_o sentence_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n dispose_v wisdom_n yea_o and_o keep_v it_o to_o himself_o and_o yet_o

and_o to_o match_v our_o wisdom_n with_o the_o knowledge_n how_o to_o rule_v our_o life_n as_o become_v we_o now_o then_o we_o see_v first_o that_o we_o must_v let_v god_n all_o one_o with_o his_o

speak_v this_o unto_o man_n this_o say_n that_o god_n have_v speak_v it_o unto_o man_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n intend_v to_o

preserve_v &_o have_v wherewith_o to_o beat_v back_o his_o temptation_n for_o god_n have_v arm_v they_o with_o his_o own_o power_n so_o as_o satan_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o he_o have_v leave_v to_o do_v and_o god_n put_v a_o bar_n in_o his_o way_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o be_v hold_v short_a in_o every_o mischief_n that_o he_o step_v forth_o unto_o and_o can_v do_v nothing_o further_o than_o god_n good_a pleasure_n licence_v he_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o herewithal_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v further_o that_o god_n judgement_n be_v of_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o he_o execute_v they_o both_o upon_o good_a and_o bad_a true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o will_v follow_v our_o own_o opinion_n we_o may_v wonder_v how_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n give_v such_o authority_n and_o preeminence_n unto_o satan_n as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o lead_v we_o amiss_o this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a strange_a thing_n to_o our_o own_o imagination_n but_o what_o then_o see_v that_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o to_o wait_v till_o the_o day_n come_v that_o we_o may_v better_o conceive_v god_n secret_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o at_o this_o day_n &_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o magnify_v they_o and_o to_o honour_n god_n judgement_n have_v they_o in_o reverence_n and_o admiration_n until_o they_o may_v be_v better_o know_v unto_o we_o for_o we_o have_v too_o small_a a_o capacity_n to_o know_v they_o thorough_o as_o now_o therefore_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o humility_n content_v ourselves_o to_o know_v but_o in_o part_n until_o full_a knowledge_n be_v disclose_v unto_o we_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n but_o how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o must_v not_o be_v ignorant_a in_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n show_v we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n serve_v his_o own_o turn_n by_o satan_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o satan_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o seduce_v man_n when_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o and_o special_o when_o they_o refuse_v to_o obey_v the_o truth_n then_o must_v they_o needs_o be_v carry_v away_o unto_o lie_n as_o concern_v the_o faithful_a god_n do_v now_o &_o then_o leave_v they_o also_o unto_o satan_n so_o as_o they_o be_v seduce_v by_o he_o like_v as_o job_n be_v not_o exempt_v from_o that_o inconvenience_n in_o the_o end_n and_o also_o we_o see_v what_o be_v say_v of_o david_n in_o the_o holy_a story_n for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o he_o number_v the_o people_n the_o text_n report_v how_o it_o be_v the_o devil_n that_o stir_v up_o all_o the_o mischief_n when_o david_n number_v so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n david_n they_o being_n one_o of_o god_n child_n be_v notwithstanding_o sometime_o deliver_v into_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o be_v beguile_v by_o he_o now_o when_o we_o see_v this_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n too_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o come_v shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n and_o there_o to_o hide_v we_o for_o if_o such_o thing_n befall_v unto_o david_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o herewithal_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n give_v satan_n such_o sway_n over_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n dominion_n be_v over_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o stubborneharted_a it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n make_v this_o distinction_n he_o work_v even_o now_o say_v he_o in_o all_o the_o unbeliever_n thus_o place_v he_o the_o reign_n of_o satan_n in_o they_o that_o be_v separate_v from_o god_o and_o cut_v off_o from_o his_o church_n and_o wherefore_o for_o there_o we_o see_v he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o bound_n but_o when_o he_o have_v power_n to_o wound_v the_o child_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n permit_v that_o to_o humble_v they_o too_o the_o end_n that_o when_o they_o be_v so_o grievous_o torment_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o the_o while_n resist_v the_o assault_n that_o be_v make_v upon_o they_o they_o shall_v understand_v that_o that_o come_v not_o of_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o be_v uphild_n otherwise_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o then_o when_o god_n give_v satan_n leave_v to_o tempt_v faithful_a one_o ordinary_o it_o be_v to_o make_v they_o to_o be_v serve_v therewith_o as_o with_o a_o medicine_n and_o herein_o we_o see_v god_n marvellous_a goodness_n how_o he_o turn_v the_o evil_a into_o good_a for_o what_o can_v satan_n bring_v but_o rank_n poison_n and_o venom_n yea_o we_o know_v he_o have_v nothing_o with_o he_o but_o death_n for_o he_o be_v call_v the_o

notwithstanding_o god_n find_v the_o mean_a that_o the_o evil_n which_o be_v in_o satan_n be_v turn_v to_o our_o welfare_n and_o here_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n be_v physike_v as_o he_o himself_o confess_v after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o high_a revelation_n that_o have_v be_v give_v unto_o he_o god_n say_v he_o have_v provide_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o exalt_v myself_o too_o much_o lo_o here_o a_o good_a provision_n and_o very_o profitable_a for_o saint_n paul_n for_o we_o know_v that_o pride_n be_v ready_a to_o throw_v we_o headlong_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o provoke_v god_n displeasure_n more_o for_o needs_o must_v he_o always_o show_v himself_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o proud_a and_o to_o such_o as_o presume_v upon_o their_o own_o strength_n in_o what_o wise_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o saint_n paul_n be_v in_o the_o same_o danger_n if_o god_n have_v not_o remedy_v it_o in_o what_o sort_n do_v he_o it_o it_o be_v say_v paul_n by_o send_v i_o the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v i_o see_v how_o satan_n work_v in_o saint_n paul_n yea_o even_o by_o god_n permission_n and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o it_o out_o of_o doubt_n satan_n mean_v to_o have_v overwhelm_v paul_n and_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o have_v drive_v he_o into_o wickedness_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v give_v over_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o by_o little_a and_o little_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o christianity_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o wearisome_a trouble_n and_o misery_n which_o he_o endure_v without_o cease_v lo_o here_o what_o satan_n intend_v but_o what_o for_o that_o god_n purpose_v another_o end_n namely_o to_o bridle_v his_o servant_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o forget_v himself_o and_o so_o exalt_v himself_o too_o much_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v he_o buffet_v for_o he_o use_v the_o say_a similitude_n of_o buffet_v for_o the_o nonce_n as_o who_o will_v say_v god_n use_v he_o not_o as_o a_o man_n of_o arm_n that_o fight_v in_o the_o field_n to_o give_v he_o a_o glorious_a victory_n but_o buffet_v he_o like_o a_o boy_n too_o his_o shame_n and_o reproach_n thus_o the_o holy_a apostle_n who_o god_n have_v endue_v with_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v so_o far_o make_v a_o underling_n to_o satan_n that_o satan_n spit_v in_o his_o face_n and_o wrought_v he_o marry_v other_o villainy_n we_o see_v then_o how_o god_n turn_v the_o evil_a into_o good_a when_o he_o make_v all_o satan_n sting_n to_o serve_v we_o as_o medicine_n whereby_o he_o purge_v we_o of_o the_o vice_n that_o lie_v hide_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v cause_n too_o praise_n god_n in_o all_o respect_n yea_o even_o though_o that_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n his_o judgement_n be_v over_o boisterous_a to_o our_o imagination_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o conceive_v they_o by_o our_o fleshly_a understanding_n when_o we_o have_v well_o consider_v

howbeit_o so_o as_o he_o forwarn_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o touch_v his_o person_n in_o effect_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n give_v satan_n liberty_n too_o assail_v we_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o make_v many_o sore_a assault_n upon_o we_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o go_v all_o by_o measure_n as_o one_o that_o know_v what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v and_o what_o be_v

heretofore_o namely_o how_o job_n intent_n be_v too_o show_v that_o god_n justice_n appear_v not_o always_o unto_o man_n nor_o be_v so_o know_v as_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o man_n may_v touch_v it_o with_o their_o finger_n but_o rather_o that_o god_n work_v after_o such_o a_o strange_a fashion_n as_o it_o seem_v unto_o we_o that_o there_o be_v neither_o reason_n nor_o indifferency_n in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o make_v a_o hotchpotch_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o afore_o that_o god_n justice_n do_v sometime_o show_v itself_o and_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a mark_n for_o we_o too_o discern_v it_o by_o if_o god_n punish_v a_o wicked_a man_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o he_o think_v we_o all_o too_o have_v warning_n by_o such_o example_n and_o we_o be_v compel_v to_o glorify_v he_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o seven_o psalm_n if_o god_n deliver_v any_o one_o that_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o have_v walk_v in_o his_o fear_n we_o will_v say_v god_n be_v righteous_a but_o he_o keep_v not_o all_o one_o rate_n too_o do_v continual_o so_o for_o he_o have_v his_o secret_a judge_n ment_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a too_o we_o insomuch_o that_o we_o can_v but_o be_v abash_v and_o amaze_v when_o god_n shall_v do_v thing_n that_o seem_v too_o be_v quite_o against_o reason_n you_o see_v then_o how_o job_n meaning_n be_v that_o he_o find_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v amaze_v because_o god_n rule_v he_o not_o after_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o fancy_n but_o have_v another_o manner_n of_o do_v of_o his_o work_n which_o be_v utter_o unknown_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o he_o say_v if_o the_o whip_n sinyte_v too_o kill_v how_o shall_v god_n laugh_v at_o the_o temptation_n of_o good_a man_n because_o this_o sentence_n be_v dark_a and_o short_a which_o cause_v darkness_n it_o have_v be_v expound_v diverse_a way_n but_o when_o all_o be_v thorough_o consider_v the_o very_a right_a mean_a be_v this_o namely_o that_o if_o god_n rise_v up_o against_o the_o wicked_a how_o do_v he_o laugh_v at_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o good_a for_o he_o that_o speak_v afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n baldad_n pretend_v that_o god_n utter_v out_o his_o chastizement_n open_o so_o as_o when_o soever_o man_n have_v deserve_v it_o and_o whensoever_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o god_n punish_v they_o for_o it_o too_o be_v short_a he_o seem_v by_o his_o say_n that_o man_n be_v already_o come_v too_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o that_o judgement_n and_o justice_n be_v set_v in_o full_a perfection_n howbeit_o god_n reserve_v many_o thing_n and_o so_o you_o see_v why_o god_n seem_v too_o goveme_a thing_n confuze_o to_o this_o day_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n we_o will_v think_v the_o end_n to_o be_v come_v already_o &_o we_o will_v no_o more_o hope_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v gather_v we_o up_o to_o himself_o so_o than_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o that_o god_n shall_v leave_v many_o fault_n unpunished_a &_o also_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o good_a shall_v be_v afflict_v and_o seem_v to_o have_v lose_v their_o labour_n in_o serve_v god_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o job_n word_n if_o the_o scourge_n say_v he_o do_v slay_v immediate_o that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o god_n make_v no_o delay_n of_o his_o correction_n but_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n too_o smite_v man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v sin_v and_o do_v unto_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o worthiness_n and_o deserve_n why_o shall_v he_o then_o laugh_v at_o the_o affliction_n of_o good_a man_n for_o we_o know_v that_o justice_n and_o uprightness_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n whereof_o the_o one_o be_v the_o punish_v of_o evil_a folk_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o relieve_v of_o good_a folk_n and_o the_o maintain_v of_o they_o in_o their_o righteous_a and_o sound_o conversation_n therefore_o if_o god_n punish_v the_o wicked_a he_o must_v also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n maintain_v the_o good_a so_o as_o he_o keep_v they_o under_o his_o tuition_n and_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v trouble_v or_o torment_v burr_n that_o they_o may_v feel_v his_o succour_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o cry_v unto_o he_o howbeit_o as_o we_o see_v the_o good_a be_v punish_v not_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o but_o with_o linger_a pain_n all_o their_o life_n long_o so_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o show_v any_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o help_v they_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n take_v vengeance_n of_o they_o and_o be_v purpose_v to_o plunge_v they_o into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n then_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v not_o hasty_a to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a out_o of_o hand_n nor_o bring_v they_o at_o the_o first_o brunt_n too_o the_o point_n that_o man_n may_v say_v such_o a_o one_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v be_v punish_v for_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o both_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v join_v together_o and_o the_o reason_n that_o job_n use_v here_o be_v good_a for_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o s._n paul_n also_o set_v out_o in_o his_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o thessalonian_n say_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n righteousness_n too_o punish_v those_o that_o trouble_v the_o good_a &_o to_o give_v relief_n and_o rest_n to_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v be_v oppress_v wrongful_o for_o a_o time_n the_o one_o of_o these_o point_n say_v i_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o other_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o mind_n to_o show_v it_o perfect_o in_o this_o world_n on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o must_v have_v his_o eye_n upon_o all_o such_o as_o do_v amiss_o &_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o escape_v his_o hand_n but_o make_v they_o come_v to_o a_o reckon_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o good_a man_n be_v disquiet_v or_o have_v any_o wrong_n or_o violence_n offer_v they_o he_o must_v pity_v they_o and_o show_v how_o he_o have_v they_o in_o his_o hand_n you_o see_v i_o say_v how_o these_o two_o thing_n ought_v to_o match_v together_o otherwise_o there_o shall_v be_v but_o the_o one_o part_n of_o justice_n in_o god_n and_o his_o justice_n shall_v not_o be_v whole_a and_o perfect_a we_o see_v then_o that_o job_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o speak_v so_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v that_o he_o lift_v up_o himself_o malicious_o against_o god_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o show_v that_o god_n righteousness_n be_v not_o always_o apparent_a and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v it_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o man_n have_v sin_v god_n have_v his_o hand_n bend_v to_o punish_v they_o &_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o will_v at_o the_o first_o brunt_n show_v himself_o a_o preserver_n of_o the_o good_a by_o rid_v they_o out_o of_o all_o their_o misery_n we_o must_v not_o come_v to_o that_o point_n and_o why_o because_o it_o be_v not_o god_n will_n that_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v always_o be_v know_v unto_o we_o but_o rather_o to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o enter_v at_o any_o time_n into_o his_o

that_o we_o see_v it_o behove_v also_o that_o his_o justice_n shall_v have_v his_o course_n this_o be_v very_o true_a howbeit_o he_o mistake_v it_o in_o that_o he_o will_v have_v god_n justice_n to_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o rain_n &_o fair_a wether_n come_v of_o god_n and_o that_o when_o the_o earth_n yield_v we_o food_n it_o be_v through_o his_o grace_n true_a it_o

though_o we_o go_v to_o corruption_n see_v he_o show_v such_o power_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n beside_o this_o god_n keep_v a_o steady_a hand_n in_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o rise_v &_o go_v

no_o corruptible_a thing_n nor_o subject_n to_o the_o alteration_n and_o change_n of_o the_o world_n lo_o how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n train_v we_o high_o and_o high_o by_o those_o work_n of_o god_n that_o be_v near_o and_o most_o familiar_a to_o we_o nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o too_o have_v skill_n to_o discern_v between_o god_n work_n as_o need_n require_v as_o how_o you_o see_v how_o bildad_n be_v utter_o confound_v in_o his_o own_o matter_n for_o he_o say_v that_o because_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n in_o settle_a order_n and_o maintain_v it_o in_o the_o same_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o judgement_n be_v all_o certain_a &_o that_o man_n may_v see_v they_o and_o know_v they_o but_o that_o be_v a_o ill_a consequence_n why_o god_n will_v be_v that_o

notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v flightful_a &_o droop_a but_o his_o so_o do_v be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o take_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o lift_v we_o up_o to_o heaven_n unto_o himself_o god_n they_o will_v have_v we_o to_o know_v this_o most_o certain_o &_o so_o command_v we_o but_o as_o touch_v his_o judgement_n that_o be_v a_o other_o case_n for_o it_o be_v his_o mind_n that_o we_o

of_o nature_n teach_v and_o counsele_v we_o to_o seek_v the_o
but_o if_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o have_v lose_v our_o time_n in_o run_v to_o our_o god_n too_o be_v aid_v at_o his_o hand_n what_o will_v become_v of_o it_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v as_o good_a as_o

not_o marvel_v though_o he_o do_v the_o like_a to_o we_o nowadays_o wherefore_o let_v we_o wait_v patient_o and_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o the_o end_n that_o he_o have_v not_o forget_v we_o ne_o

that_o the_o great_a honour_n that_o god_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v call_v upon_o he_o in_o all_o our_o adversity_n now_o in_o steed_n of_o do_v that_o homage_n to_o he_o

see_v how_o he_o have_v encounter_v his_o enemy_n diverse_a time_n do_v he_o raise_v any_o great_a host_n of_o man_n when_o he_o punish_v pharaoh_n and_o all_o the_o egyptian_n no_o he_o send_v he_o

shall_v wax_v wilful_a in_o their_o opinion_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v it_o come_v too_o pass_v for_o when_o the_o wicked_a escape_n some_o adversity_n unoverwhelm_v they_o do_v but_o shake_v their_o ear_n and_o they_o be_v quite_o dispatch_v as_o they_o surmise_n and_o thereupon_o they_o take_v great_a liberty_n afterward_o god_n then_o do_v now_o and_o then_o send_v but_o some_o

it_o anon_o after_o for_o in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o scoff_v at_o god_n patience_n and_o provoke_v his_o anger_n more_o and_o more_o he_o also_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o utter_v his_o roughness_n and_o to_o thunder_v upon_o they_o and_o whereas_o he_o have_v scarce_o give_v they_o a_o tick_n with_o a_o rod_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n against_o they_o and_o too_o take_v his_o bow_n and_o shoot_v at_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o mind_v this_o say_n well_o aforehand_o too_o the_o end_n that_o if_o our_o lord_n visit_v we_o we_o may_v not_o

deserve_v too_o be_v he_o may_v vouchsafe_v to_o take_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o his_o threaten_n be_v repeat_v so_o often_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o it_o be_v not_o here_o only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v flee_v from_o the_o weapon_n of_o iron_n and_o meet_v with_o a_o bow_n of_o steel_n but_o we_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n himself_o speak_v it_o by_o his_o prophet_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v too_o small_a purpose_n for_o thou_o to_o hide_v thyself_o in_o thine_o house_n if_o thou_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n thou_o shall_v meet_v with_o wild_a beast_n when_o thou_o be_v escape_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lion_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o bear_n that_o shall_v find_v thou_o well-enough_o hereby_o our_o lord_n show_v that_o he_o have_v all_o creature_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o can_v serve_v his_o own_o turn_n with_o they_o to_o persecute_v man_n so_o as_o we_o can_v make_v account_n to_o be_v discharge_v till_o we_o have_v find_v favour_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o that_o he_o have_v pity_n of_o we_o so_o then_o the_o only_a mean_a to_o be_v sure_a and_o safe_a be_v that_o god_n have_v receive_v we_o but_o if_o we_o flee_v aloof_o from_o he_o he_o have_v too_o long_a hand_n and_o when_o he_o have_v draw_v his_o sword_n he_o have_v a_o bow_n also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o have_v so_o many_o sort_n of_o chastize_n and_o punishman_n as_o in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v needs_o fall_v unhappy_o except_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o now_o like_a as_o god_n threaten_v sword_n bow_n wild_a beast_n and_o scorpion_n to_o such_o as_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o and_o stout_o harden_v themselves_o against_o his_o hand_n so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v way_n without_o number_n too_o save_o those_o that_o flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o his_o goodness_n and_o put_v their_o trust_n therein_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v environ_v with_o many_o misery_n and_o many_o death_n shall_v lie_v in_o wait_n for_o we_o but_o god_n also_o have_v diverse_a way_n to_o succour_n we_o yea_o which_o be_v to_o we_o incomprehensible_a therefore_o when_o we_o be_v unprovided_a of_o all_o mean_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v too_o we_o that_o we_o be_v undo_v let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o thus_o god_n have_v some_o issue_n of_o death_n which_o be_v know_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o same_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o exercise_v our_o faith_n let_v we_o tarry_v till_o he_o discover_v his_o goodness_n and_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o make_v his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v upon_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v in_o life_n even_o in_o the_o midd_n of_o death_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o threaten_n which_o god_n make_v to_o the_o wicked_a aught_o to_o make_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o have_v full_a matter_n of_o gladness_n and_o rest_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v in_o many_o danger_n and_o that_o assoon_o as_o we_o be_v pass_v out_o of_o one_o another_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v deliver_v for_o like_a as_o god_n have_v sword_n to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a so_o have_v he_o infinite_a deliverance_n to_o succour_n his_o faithful_a one_o lo_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o for_o a_o conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v through_o his_o gall_n and_o that_o fearfulness_n shall_v be_v upon_o he_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v the_o wicked_a quite_o and_o clean_o through_o

god_n punishment_n shall_v sometime_o be_v sudden_a true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o always_o so_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n also_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whither_o god_n perform_v his_o judgement_n swift_o but_o yet_o do_v he_o give_v we_o some_o show_n of_o they_o even_o in_o this_o life_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v the_o earnestly_o harken_v for_o the_o last_o day_n whereas_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v set_v again_o in_o their_o full_a state_n and_o perfection_n nevertheless_o as_o i_o say_v god_n judgement_n shall_v sometime_o be_v sudden_a and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o zophar_n mean_v too_o express_v in_o say_v the_o sword_n be_v
manner_n of_o speech_n that_o be_v very_o rife_o among_o the_o hebrew_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o wise_a man_n will_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o their_o mouth_n it_o be_v to_o do_v we_o too_o wit_n that_o thing_n shall_v be_v so_o confuse_v as_o the_o skilful_a and_o best_a practise_v man_n that_o be_v shall_v not_o know_v what_o to_o say_v but_o shall_v be_v

judgement_n that_o god_n execute_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o job_n be_v terrible_a and_o dreadful_a to_o man_n understanding_n and_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v judge_v of_o it_o after_o the_o flesh_n he_o can_v not_o be_v but_o amaze_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o job_n person_n but_o now_o let_v we_o gather_v the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o this_o which_o be_v that_o when_o god_n work_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o we_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o we_o have_v too_o glorify_v he_o for_o when_o he_o show_v we_o the_o reason_n of_o he_o work_v and_o will_v have_v they_o know_v to_o we_o than_o he_o put_v word_n into_o our_o mouth_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o speak_v of_o they_o again_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n work_v outpass_v our_o understanding_n so_o as_o we_o know_v not_o why_o he_o dispose_v the_o thing_n so_o which_o we_o see_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v we_o must_v lay_v our_o hand_n upon_o our_o mouth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o prattle_v of_o they_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v our_o own_o ability_n that_o we_o fling_v not_o ourselves_o astray_o over_o all_o the_o field_n but_o rather_o follow_v always_o the_o right_a way_n for_o the_o do_v hereof_o we_o need_v to_o know_v no_o more_o but_o what_o be_v give_v we_o according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n bring_v we_o to_o the_o same_o rule_n namely_o to_o know_v no_o more_o than_o god_n lead_v we_o unto_o so_o long_o as_o he_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n let_v we_o go_v bold_o but_o when_o he_o lead_v we_o no_o further_o we_o must_v stop_v there_o and_o be_v as_o dumb_a true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v always_o have_v our_o mouth_n open_a after_o one_o sort_n that_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n but_o when_o we_o presume_v to_o bring_v he_o under_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o will_v have_v he_o too_o reserve_v nothing_o too_o himself_o whither_o go_v we_o then_o be_v ●it_n not_o a_o open_a despyte_n of_o god_n he_o intend_v too_o hide_v the_o thing_n from_o we_o and_o why_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v know_v our_o own_o ignorance_n and_o yet_o not_o cease_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o too_o honour_v his_o wonderful_a and_o incomprehensible_a ordinance_n so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o whensoever_o god_n show_v we_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o work_n let_v we_o thank_v his_o goodness_n and_o say_v lord_n thou_o come_v down_o very_o low_a to_o we_o wretched_a creature_n when_o thou_o vouchsave_v to_o show_v we_o why_o thou_o do_v this_o or_o that_o and_o thy_o goodness_n deserve_v well_o to_o be_v magnify_v by_o we_o when_o thou_o communicate_a it_o so_o familiar_o too_o such_o as_o be_v not_o worth_a it_o but_o if_o god_n hide_v the_o reason_n of_o he_o work_v from_o we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o high_a for_o we_o to_o reach_v unto_o let_v we_o shut_v our_o mouth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o not_o be_v talkative_a to_o babble_v after_o

but_o let_v we_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n &_o go_v on_o forward_o thus_o must_v we_o practice_v this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v here_o teach_v we_o by_o job._n now_o we_o have_v see_v wherefore_o he_o

and_o we_o be_v handle_v rough_o of_o he_o we_o may_v not_o be_v so_o oppress_v with_o confusion_n that_o despair_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o we_o but_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n cease_v

to_o ourselves_o now_o let_v we_o note_v thing_n particular_o job_n here_o protest_v that_o although_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o punish_v at_o the_o first_o fault_n yet_o ought_v no_o man_n therefore_o to_o think_v they_o happy_a for_o he_o know_v that_o their_o felicity_n shall_v not_o continue_v but_o that_o god_n shall_v make_v a_o end_n of_o it_o â–ª_o their_o prosperity_n say_v he_o

but_o god_n hold_v they_o in_o a_o bridle_n &_o he_o can_v deprive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o pleasure_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o think_v to_o make_v to_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a

that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a profit_n in_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o note_v that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a prevail_v god_n hold_v a_o secret_a bridle_n in_o their_o mouth_n so_o that_o all_o that_o they_o have_v to_o day_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o they_o to_o morrow_n and_o they_o have_v nothing_o in_o their_o own_o power_n if_o this_o be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o trouble_v as_o we_o be_v with_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o behold_v with_o our_o eye_n and_o why_o because_o we_o think_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o see_v to_o day_n shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o world_n go_v round_o and_o that_o thing_n be_v change_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o that_o nothing_o be_v

to_o day_n we_o be_v in_o prosperity_n our_o head_n be_v so_o encumber_v with_o it_o that_o we_o think_v all_o be_v we_o and_o we_o make_v the_o reckon_n without_o our_o host_n if_o we_o have_v any_o

of_o the_o wicked_a we_o imagine_v that_o they_o shall_v never_o come_v too_o decay_n and_o if_o we_o stand_v in_o fear_n of_o they_o we_o be_v take_v with_o such_o fear_n that_o we_o think_v there_o

crooked_a mean_n so_o as_o we_o have_v win_v the_o judge_n see_v you_o not_o yet_o a_o second_o outrage_n which_o we_o offer_v unto_o god_n be_v it_o not_o a_o defile_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v

to_o god_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n i_o say_v that_o we_o do_v but_o double_a god_n wrath_n upon_o we_o by_o shift_v ourselves_o from_o man_n hand_n after_o that_o sort_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v fasten_v our_o eye_n upon_o god_n and_o look_v unto_o his_o judgement_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v of_o our_o own_o free_a accord_n refrain_v from_o do_v evil_a when_o we_o may_v do_v

therefore_o let_v we_o be_v afraid_a when_o god_n threaten_v we_o and_o before_o the_o stroke_n light_n upon_o our_o head_n you_o see_v then_o how_o every_o man_n may_v refrain_v from_o evil_n do_v

to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n we_o may_v not_o doubt_v but_o
respect_n i_o utter_o despise_v and_o defy_v the_o whole_a world_n let_v i_o have_v a_o strong_a party_n to_o put_v in_o accusation_n against_o i_o yea_o and_o let_v he_o make_v a_o great_a book_n of_o it_o it_o shall_v not_o grieve_v i_o to_o carry_v it_o upon_o my_o shoulder_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o heavy_a burden_n to_o i_o but_o rather_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o crown_n to_o i_o and_o a_o ornament_n to_o deck_v i_o withal_o now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o job_n mean_v to_o say_v namely_o that_o he_o have_v be_v no_o such_o man_n as_o he_o be_v repute_v and_o take_v to_o be_v according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o his_o friend_n condemn_v he_o for_o a_o reprobate_n because_o he_o endure_v so_o great_a torment_n and_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o god_n mean_v to_o utter_v his_o vengeance_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n of_o wicked_a man_n who_o god_n do_v utter_o destroy_v job_n therefore_o protest_v that_o he_o be_v no_o such_o man_n and_o therewithal_o desire_v no_o more_o but_o to_o have_v audience_n before_o who_o not_o before_o man_n only_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v his_o righteousness_n to_o be_v know_v and_o then_o will_v he_o maintain_v that_o his_o suffering_n be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n namely_o if_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v thorough_o consider_v and_o that_o god_n will_v pronounce_v sentence_n as_o by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a process_n and_o not_o by_o prerogative_n of_o his_o high_a and_o secret_a power_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o know_v why_o he_o work_v after_o that_o manner_n and_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n shall_v make_v that_o wish_n and_o why_o for_o diverse_a time_n god_n chastice_v we_o according_a too_o the_o threaten_n that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o his_o law_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o be_v punish_v it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v the_o most_o ordinary_a manner_n you_o see_v that_o god_n suffer_v not_o our_o misdeed_n unpunished_a and_o after_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o rule_n whereby_o to_o live_v well_o he_o add_v threaten_n say_v if_o you_o break_v my_o commandment_n i_o will_v punish_v you_o with_o war_n pestilence_n and_o famine_n with_o sickness_n poverty_n and_o diverse_a other_o thing_n well_o then_o if_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v our_o life_n too_o his_o law_n and_o if_o we_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v do_v amiss_o there_o our_o indictment_n be_v thorough_o frame_v and_o our_o judgement_n already_o give_v upon_o we_o and_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o execution_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o ordinary_a manner_n that_o god_n use_v in_o chastise_v man_n but_o in_o job_n he_o have_v a_o other_o respect_n for_o he_o punish_v not_o he_o for_o his_o sin_n not_o that_o he_o deserve_v it_o not_o for_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n so_o righteous_a that_o can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o god_n correction_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o god_n have_v not_o a_o respect_n to_o job_n offence_n he_o punish_v he_o not_o in_o that_o measure_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o misdeed_n but_o to_o try_v the_o faith_n and_o patience_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o also_o to_o make_v he_o a_o example_n to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n job_n have_v his_o mouth_n shut_v so_o as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o inquire_v any_o other_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v handle_v so_o rough_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a unknown_a to_o man_n then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o answer_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o enter_v into_o plea_n with_o he_o and_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o maintain_v his_o own_o soundness_n and_o to_o let_v he_o know_v why_o he_o endure_v such_o torment_n but_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n too_o challenge_n god_n after_o that_o sort_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v handle_v we_o after_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v stoop_v to_o he_o although_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v not_o apparent_a unto_o we_o then_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n and_o we_o see_v not_o why_o he_o do_v it_o yet_o must_v we_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v that_o we_o murmur_v not_o against_o he_o and_o nevertheless_o have_v it_o open_v still_o too_o glorify_v he_o confess_v that_o although_o his_o judgement_n be_v a_o bottomless_a deep_a yet_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v just_a and_o rightful_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v for_o in_o good_a faith_n there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o terrible_a thing_n than_o if_o god_n shall_v enter_v into_o law_n with_o we_o if_o he_o set_v himselse_a against_o we_o alas_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o then_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o provoke_v of_o he_o and_o desire_v too_o go_v too_o law_n with_o he_o be_v not_o to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n do_v daily_o fall_v to_o murmur_v and_o grudge_v in_o themselves_o and_o what_o else_o be_v that_o but_o to_o provoke_v god_n and_o to_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o

that_o they_o will_v have_v god_n to_o be_v against_o they_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o be_v the_o mark_n which_o they_o shoot_v at_o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v impatient_a in_o his_o affliction_n and_o hold_v not_o himself_o in_o quiet_a by_o yield_v to_o god_n good_a will_v too_o take_v correction_n at_o his_o hand_n i_o pray_v you_o do_v he_o not_o lift_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o god_n be_v so_o provoke_v to_o wrath_n shall_v maintain_v his_o own_o right_a let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o quarrel_v with_o god_n when_o he_o strike_v we_o with_o his_o

the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n sure_o we_o ought_v too_o desire_v earnest_o that_o it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o show_v we_o why_o he_o scourge_v we_o howbeit_o that_o must_v not_o be_v do_v to_o any_o other_o end_n than_o too_o profit_n ourselves_o by_o his_o correction_n and_o to_o apply_v our_o chastisement_n to_o our_o instruction_n when_o we_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o therefore_o when_o every_o of_o we_o feel_v his_o own_o sin_n be_v sorry_a that_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o ashamed_a of_o his_o own_o lewdness_n and_o thereupon_o

judgement_n by_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v and_o contain_v there_o so_o then_o let_v god_n seat_n be_v set_v up_o by_o have_v his_o word_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o let_v

not_o give_v ourselves_o to_o ambition_n and_o vanity_n to_o seek_v our_o own_o praise_n before_o man_n &_o to_o exempt_v ourselves_o from_o god_n judgement_n but_o contrariwise_o it_o behove_v we_o

that_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n what_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o job_n have_v undertake_v a_o good_a case_n do_v handle_v it_o amiss_o and_o

not_o plead_v against_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v always_o have_v the_o worse_a end_n of_o the_o staff_n and_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o

we_o withal_o behold_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n in_o bring_v man_n to_o their_o grave_n intend_v to_o draw_v they_o out_o again_o and_o that_o in_o consume_v their_o flesh_n he_o mind_v to_o

the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n who_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o wrath_n and_o undoubted_o although_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o fire_n that_o consume_v all_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o it_o but_o overpass_v it_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o sermon_n and_o we_o read_v goodly_a text_n of_o it_o but_o we_o be_v not_o touch_v with_o it_o neither_o do_v any_o man_n rest_n upon_o it_o for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o we_o make_v no_o account_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o take_v it_o to_o be_v but_o as_o a_o sport_n we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o the_o counsel_n that_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n like_v as_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v than_z god_n break_v man_n bone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v use_v so_o

and_o a_o man_n be_v so_o continual_o torment_v as_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a man_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o all_o this_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o but_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n to_o waken_v we_o and_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o be_v think_v we_o that_o those_o torment_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o can_v be_v express_v according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v many_o comparison_n in_o that_o behalf_n why_o do_v it_o liken_v god_n to_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v and_o broze_v thing_n with_o his_o tooth_n and_o pluck_v they_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o paw_n it_o be_v not_o to_o attribute_v such_o a_o cruelty_n unto_o god_n as_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o he_o but_o
long_a time_n and_o prolong_v the_o term_n of_o the_o wicked_a at_o length_n he_o will_v show_v that_o although_o he_o wait_v for_o their_o repentance_n yet_o he_o forget_v not_o their_o misdeed_n but_o register_v they_o before_o he_o and_o pack_v they_o up_o upon_o a_o great_a heap_n to_o increase_v the_o terror_n of_o his_o wrath_n their_o delay_n therefore_o shall_v be_v dear_o sell_v unto_o they_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o abuse_v god_n patience_n who_o forbear_v to_o punish_v they_o at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v have_v leisure_n to_o know_v their_o fault_n &_o to_o amend_v they_o mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n at_o the_o first_o day_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v with_o our_o eye_n that_o he_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v sin_n forthwith_o as_o they_o deserve_v we_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o other_o day_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n concern_v our_o rise_n again_o and_o our_o come_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v short_a there_o shall_v be_v neither_o reward_n for_o the_o good_a nor_o fear_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o rebellious_a and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n will_v render_v recompense_n or_o requite_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v from_o day_n too_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v and_o when_o at_o the_o last_o day_n elius_n say_v be_v not_o against_o this_o sentence_n but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v render_v he_o presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a namely_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v our_o mind_n at_o a_o stay_n until_o god_n show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n our_o faith_n i_o say_v must_v be_v exercise_v in_o wait_v patient_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o show_v we_o some_o notable_a example_n whereby_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o man_n to_o punish_v their_o offence_n if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o record_n of_o it_o let_v we_o be_v content_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v patient_a until_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o as_o now_o reserve_v to_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v take_v this_o sentence_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o use_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n but_o that_o he_o also_o bear_v with_o they_o who_o he_o punish_v and_o show_v they_o some_o favour_n although_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o be_v rigorous_a too_o they_o and_o make_v they_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v their_o judge_n howbeit_o that_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n god_n pass_v not_o to_o punish_v our_o sin_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o do_v deserve_v for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o send_v we_o disease_n want_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o he_o shall_v thunder_v upon_o we_o and_o overwhelm_v we_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v some_o terrible_a punishment_n but_o he_o shall_v arm_v himself_o in_o his_o mighty_a majesty_n to_o confound_v and_o overwhelm_v we_o for_o what_o be_v our_o sin_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n punish_v not_o sinner_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n in_o full_a measure_n as_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o but_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o that_o all_o the_o chastisement_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o god_n warning_n in_o give_v leisure_n to_o repent_v not_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v profit_v all_o man_n â–ª_o for_o the_o wicked_a be_v condemn_v already_o because_o they_o be_v past_a amendment_n and_o god_n have_v not_o only_o frame_v their_o indictment_n but_o also_o set_v down_o their_o condemnation_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v execute_v whensoever_o he_o will._n how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n show_v we_o in_o this_o world_n all_o of_o they_o be_v nothing_o comparable_a unto_o our_o sin_n but_o he_o give_v we_o respite_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v think_v upon_o they_o thus_o see_v you_o yet_o one_o other_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text._n and_o the_o third_o be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o way_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v power_n to_o himself_o to_o pardon_v those_o who_o he_o list_v when_o he_o intend_v to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o himself_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v his_o choose_a and_o why_o for_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n and_o too_o be_v at_o one_o with_o they_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o bury_v their_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n god_n then_o have_v liberty_n to_o put_v away_o our_o offence_n without_o punish_v they_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n and_o why_o for_o when_o god_n list_v to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n how_o deal_v he_o he_o nourish_v not_o the_o evil_a in_o we_o but_o he_o touch_v we_o with_o it_o and_o show_v we_o it_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v how_o sore_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o afterward_o give_v we_o a_o mind_n to_o be_v sorry_a &_o to_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v so_o touch_v with_o repentance_n we_o become_v judge_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n and_o condemn_v they_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n have_v execute_v his_o office_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v himself_o than_o if_o he_o be_v condemn_v of_o god_n and_o gnash_v his_o tooth_n and_o abide_v still_o unamendable_a and_o stubborn_a in_o his_o wickedness_n therefore_o god_n forget_v not_o his_o office_n when_o he_o draw_v we_o too_o repentance_n for_o he_o pardon_v not_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o cocker_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o too_o the_o intent_n to_o double_v his_o righteousness_n so_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o may_v feel_v the_o evil_a that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o may_v make_v his_o mercy_n shine_v upon_o we_o too_o discover_v the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v till_o he_o have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n forgive_a of_o the_o offence_n of_o his_o choose_a be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n that_o this_o say_n shall_v not_o be_v always_o true_a that_o he_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o make_v they_o find_v according_a to_o their_o way_n now_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o righteousness_n it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o be_v persuade_v in_o our_o affliction_n that_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n wrongful_o but_o that_o god_n have_v reason_n too_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o

that_o god_n utter_v not_o such_o power_n without_o cause_n but_o that_o he_o do_v it_o through_o his_o justice_n and_o though_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n use_v such_o rigour_n let_v we_o refer_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o whole_a unto_o he_o as_o too_o who_o it_o belong_v and_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o namely_o that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v know_v unto_o he_o how_o happen_v it_o that_o oftentimes_o we_o enter_v into_o disputation_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o think_v they_o strange_a it_o be_v because_o we_o see_v not_o so_o clear_o as_o he_o do_v howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o judge_v of_o man_n way_n let_v we_o agree_v with_o he_o and_o although_o we_o see_v not_o why_o he_o do_v it_o yet_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o his_o case_n will_v always_o fall_v out_o to_o be_v good_a and_o rightful_a see_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o chastise_v not_o only_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o whole_a nation_n and_o country_n this_o say_n that_o god_n mark_v man_n pace_n be_v take_v two_o way_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o sometime_o it_o be_v refer_v to_o god_n promise_n because_o he_o be_v careful_a too_o govern_v we_o but_o in_o this_o text_n as_o also_o in_o many_o other_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n behold_v our_o step_n because_o nothing_o be_v unknown_a too_o he_o but_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n must_v come_v too_o account_v before_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o walk_v as_o before_o his_o eye_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o

it_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n be_v this_o add_v for_o we_o see_v that_o although_o every_o man_n confess_v that_o god_n behold_v all_o our_o work_n and_o must_v needs_o be_v our_o judge_n yet_o notwithstanding_o man_n do_v for_o all_o that_o blear_v their_o own_o eye_n and_o not_o consider_v that_o god_n perceive_v they_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o wicked_a bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n see_v not_o their_o craftiness_n and_o malice_n at_o all_o also_o they_o be_v upbray_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o they_o dig_v themselves_o cave_n under_o the_o earth_n too_o hide_v themselves_o from_o god_n see_v then_o that_o hypocrisy_n do_v blind_a man_n so_o sore_o it_o be_v needful_a too_o mark_v this_o sentence_n that_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n so_o thick_a that_o can_v hide_v the_o wicked_a from_o god_n sight_n and_o for_o the_o better_a conceive_v hereof_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o of_o all_o too_o remember_v what_o i_o have_v touch_v namely_o that_o man_n although_o they_o be_v sure_a that_o they_o shall_v one_o day_n come_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n do_v neverthe_o less_o seek_v startinghole_n and_o thereupon_o oversleepe_a themselves_o in_o their_o lurk_a hole_n as_o though_o they_o can_v beguile_v god_n see_v what_o a_o hypocrisy_n be_v this_o and_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o in_o shrink_v away_o after_o that_o sort_n from_o god_n in_o that_o because_o they_o themselves_o have_v lose_v their_o remembrance_n they_o think_v that_o he_o also_o have_v turn_v his_o back_n and_o remember_v not_o their_o misdeed_n let_v we_o not_o beguile_v ourselves_o with_o such_o imagination_n for_o although_o he_o discountenance_v thing_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v show_v that_o he_o forget_v not_o his_o office_n which_o be_v to_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o not_o only_o to_o bring_v every_o man_n work_n to_o light_n but_o also_o even_o their_o deep_a thought_n according_a as_o it_o be_v his_o property_n to_o search_v man_n heart_n and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o challenge_v that_o title_n to_o he_o therefore_o mark_v here_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v too_o consider_v in_o this_o text_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v
dear_a for_o the_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o abuse_v his_o patience_n which_o will_v allure_v they_o unto_o goodness_n by_o give_v they_o respite_n to_o amend_v see_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a do_v so_o mock_v at_o god_n horrible_a vengeance_n must_v needs_o fall_v upon_o their_o head_n in_o the_o end_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o great_a day_n furthermore_o if_o god_n spare_v we_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o be_v watchful_a and_o if_o he_o chastise_v we_o and_o beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n let_v we_o always_o consider_v how_o terrible_a his_o wrath_n be_v and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o he_o do_v but_o summon_v we_o and_o why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v prevent_v his_o last_o judgement_n therefore_o let_v we_o always_o think_v upon_o the_o great_a day_n and_o not_o tarry_v till_o we_o be_v take_v tardy_a with_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o condemn_v himself_o when_o god_n stir_v we_o thereunto_o furthermore_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o remembrance_n that_o god_n be_v oftentimes_o mindful_a of_o mercy_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o examine_v not_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o how_o great_a be_v the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n i_o pray_v you_o if_o every_o man_n will_v examine_v himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v shall_v he_o not_o find_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o sin_n in_o he_o yea_o and_o of_o so_o heinous_a offence_n as_o will_v utter_o dismay_v he_o but_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o consider_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v our_o hypocrisy_n which_o hinder_v we_o and_o keep_v our_o eye_n blindfold_a but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v examine_v himself_o thorough_o he_o shall_v find_v himself_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n confound_v before_o he_o come_v half_o too_o his_o way_n end_v for_o god_n see_v much_o more_o clear_o than_o we_o do_v when_o we_o have_v spy_v one_o fault_n god_n will_v spy_v out_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o yea_o even_o of_o million_o what_o shall_v the_o heavenly_a judge_n do_v so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n forbear_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mercy_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v not_o try_v we_o in_o the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o be_v too_o say_v not_o search_v we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o eliu_n say_v express_o here_o in_o multitude_n great_o or_o in_o great_a number_n to_o signify_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o creature_n shall_v stand_v out_o if_o god_n of_o his_o goodness_n do_v not_o spare_v they_o and_o continual_o abate_v the_o rigour_n of_o the_o punishment_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v by_o our_o sin_n and_o hereupon_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o far_a other_o judgement_n than_o can_v be_v perceive_v in_o this_o world_n howbeit_o we_o know_v it_o not_o as_o yet_o and_o god_n bear_v with_o

appear_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n at_o the_o latter_a day_n all_o our_o sin_n shall_v be_v wipe_v out_o there_o and_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o examine_n of_o we_o which_o he_o do_v now_o put_v we_o to_o in_o part_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v not_o examine_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o offence_n may_v be_v so_o abolish_v as_o they_o may_v not_o come_v to_o account_v before_o he_o but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v receive_v there_o as_o righteous_a as_o though_o there_o have_v be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o all_o innocence_n and_o soundness_n you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o so_o to_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o use_n as_o we_o may_v learn_v so_o to_o walk_v in_o hope_n as_o we_o

he_o execute_v not_o every_o day_n and_o which_o be_v not_o so_o common_a and_o rife_o among_o we_o and_o why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v a_o devilish_a pride_n when_o a_o man_n will_v mount_v so_o high_a and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o fall_v into_o so_o utter_a ruin_n as_o he_o can_v never_o get_v up_o again_o then_o let_v we_o keep_v we_o from_o this_o stateliness_n of_o desire_v to_o rise_v up_o against_o god_n namely_o in_o his_o secret_a determination_n which_o surmount_v the_o whole_a order_n of_o nature_n and_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v by_o our_o understanding_n this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o eliu_n look_v at_o and_o amed_z at_o now_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o mark_v for_o a_o end_n and_o knit_n up_o that_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n execute●●_n his_o judgement_n and_o give_v man_n abundant_o wherewith_o too_o live_v it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o all_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o the_o air_n be_v not_o govern_v by_o itself_o nor_o the_o rain_n come_v at_o the_o appointment_n of_o the_o sun_n how_o then_o for_o we_o see_v contrary_a effect_n behold_v water_n drown_v man_n and_o sweep_v they_o quite_o away_o and_o again_o it_o maintain_v they_o you_o see_v here_o two_o contrary_a woorking_n nourishment_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o waste_v on_o the_o other_o so_o as_o god_n destroy_v and_o overwhelm_v all_o ▪_o both_o these_o twain_o we_o see_v and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o but_o that_o god_n overrule_v thing_n from_o above_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o magnify_v god_n in_o this_o that_o we_o see_v he_o apply_v his_o creature_n too_o such_o use_n as_o he_o think_v good_a furthermore_o when_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o see_v his_o rigour_n see_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o punish_v our_o sin_n we_o ought_v too_o consider_v that_o therein_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o judge_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v condemn_v ourselves_o before_o he_o and_o flee_v for_o refuge_n too_o his_o mercy_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o utter_v the_o treasure_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o show_v himself_o liberal_a which_o thing_n he_o do_v at_o such_o time_n as_o he_o declare_v himself_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o by_o send_v we_o provision_n by_o the_o cloud_n whereby_o he_o make_v the_o earth_n fruitful_a to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v yield_v we_o sustenance_n when_o we_o see_v this_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n too_o put_v our_o whole_a trust_n therein_o and_o to_o rest_v thereupon_o conclude_v that_o sith_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o the_o cherish_n of_o our_o body_n which_o be_v but_o frail_a carcase_n much_o more_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o see_v he_o have_v fashion_v we_o anew_o unto_o his_o own_o glory_n we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o he_o be_v chary_a of_o our_o salvation_n and_o that_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o that_o more_o than_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v where_o we_o see_v that_o god_n as_o now_o appli_v his_o creature_n to_o his_o own_o pleasure_n use_v they_o on_o the_o one_o side_n as_o rod_n to_o execute_v his_o justice_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n make_v they_o to_o serve_v our_o turn_n even_o by_o employ_v they_o too_o relieve_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o mind_n that_o we_o may_v be_v teach_v in_o his_o fear_n both_o to_o rejoice_v and_o rest_v in_o his_o goodness_n and_o also_o too_o settle_v our_o
