and_o how_o shall_v we_o come_v by_o that_o patience_n we_o must_v come_v to_o that_o which_o he_o there_o speak_v off_o to_o wit_n that_o we_o take_v all_o our_o whole_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n in_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o often_o beat_v upon_o before_o by_o i_o touch_v and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v needful_a to_o stay_v upon_o it_o

one_o man_n when_o any_o one_o man_n mistrust_v his_o own_o wit_n he_o will_v ask_v council_n and_o arm_v himself_o the_o better_a and_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v use_v such_o counsel_n as_o every_o

the_o true_a mean_a so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o ought_v we_o right_o to_o record_n the_o lesson_n here_o contain_v to_o wit_n that_o all_o our_o reioyring_n be_v accurse_v and_o will_v come_v

have_v to_o gather_v unto_o ourselves_o out_o of_o this_o place_n to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v the_o good_a scholar_n of_o god_n and_o take_v delight_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o

to_o be_v the_o high_a point_n of_o our_o felicity_n but_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v to_o contemn_v riches_n &_o all_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o which_o may_v withdraw_v we_o from_o our_o

that_o david_n contemn_v not_o the_o riches_n which_o he_o have_v for_o be_v a_o mighty_a rich_a king_n as_o we_o know_v yet_o he_o cast_v not_o his_o gold_n &_o silver_n into_o the_o bottom_n of_o

tell_v us._n but_o yet_o he_o follow_v the_o rule_n which_o the_o scripture_n set_v down_o unto_o we_o which_o be_v that_o he_o so_o use_v the_o good_n of_o this_o world_n as_o though_o he_o never_o have_v they_o we_o must_v therefore_o pass_v through_o this_o world_n 7.31_o 1._o cor._n 7.31_o without_o stay_v ourselves_o altogether_o in_o it_o as_o s._n paul_n exhort_v that_o if_o god_n give_v

abundance_n of_o riches_n for_o we_o see_v it_o make_v man_n covetous_a which_o be_v the_o springhead_n of_o all_o mischief_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v 1●_n 1._o tim._n 6_o 1●_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o we_o be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o the_o good_n of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o accurse_v if_o we_o have_v not_o wherewithal_o and_o they_o to_o be_v bless_v which_o be_v well_o furnish_v with_o they_o let_v we_o keep_v well_o the_o lesson_n which_o be_v here_o teach_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o all_o our_o desire_n must_v be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n as_o in_o all_o manner_n of_o riches_n to_o wit_n that_o all_o our_o delight_n and_o contentation_n be_v whole_o in_o they_o now_o in_o the_o end_n david_n go_v on_o and_o say_v i_o will_v meditate_v in_o thy_o commandment_n and_o consider_v thy_o way_n my_o delight_n shall_v be_v in_o thy_o statute_n &_o i_o will_v not_o forget_v thy_o word_n this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n to_o

the_o same_o and_o never_o forget_v the_o desire_n which_o he_o have_v to_o profit_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n if_o david_n now_o have_v thus_o say_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o be_v well_o affect_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o that_o for_o the_o perform_v thereof_o that_o we_o have_v already_o sufficient_o travel_v but_o we_o must_v also_o be_v prick_v forward_o that_o we_o may_v always_o go_v on_o for_o even_o the_o very_a faithful_a never_o run_v with_o so_o fervent_a and_o hot_a a_o desire_n but_o that_o they_o continual_o draw_v one_o leg_n after_o they_o &_o never_o come_v unto_o god_n but_o in_o halt_v wise_a what_o be_v there_o then_o for_o we_o to_o do_v forsooth_o we_o must_v protest_v with_o david_n never_o to_o forget_v that_o which_o god_n have_v once_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o also_o never_o to_o cease_v to_o prick_v ourselves_o on_o to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v great_a vehemency_n in_o we_o to_o go_v unto_o he_o with_o a_o more_o servant_n desire_n and_o bold_a courage_n so_o that_o at_o the_o last_o we_o may_v grow_v to_o this_o perfection_n whereunto_o god_n call_v &_o allure_v we_o that_o be_v

liberty_n this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n that_o thou_o have_v do_v i_o good_a no_o i_o have_v feel_v thy_o favour_n by_o experience_n even_o from_o my_o youth_n and_o when_o as_o i_o shall_v speak_v e_o of_o the_o number_n of_o time_n which_o thou_o have_v hear_v i_o i_o shall_v find_v they_o infinite_a i_o may_v very_o well_o then_o repose_v and_o put_v all_o my_o trust_n in_o thou_o hope_v that_o thou_o will_v continue_v thy_o goodness_n towards_o i_o as_o thou_o be_v always_o ready_a so_o to_o do_v now_o because_o we_o be_v so_o unthankful_a unto_o god_n as_o not_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o benefit_n as_o become_v we_o and_o as_o to_o he_o appertain_v loe_o here_o why_o we_o can_v benefit_n ourselves_o by_o this_o confession_n in_o truth_n to_o confirm_v our_o hope_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o as_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o us._n moreover_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o we_o must_v not_o deal_v with_o god_n as_o with_o mortal_a man_n for_o if_o any_o man_n have_v do_v we_o a_o pleasure_n we_o may_v true_o say_v as_o we_o common_o do_v i_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o behold_v unto_o you_o because_o you_o have_v already_o bind_v i_o thereto_o this_o shall_v come_v in_o among_o the_o rest_n but_o yet_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v borrow_v much_o of_o any_o man_n we_o shall_v be_v a_o shame_v that_o we_o have_v trouble_v he_o so_o often_o but_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o so_o betwixt_o god_n and_o us._n and_o why_o so_o for_o god_n be_v never_o weary_a of_o well_o do_v as_o man_n be_v and_o beside_o he_o never_o diminish_v his_o substance_n when_o he_o do_v we_o any_o good_a if_o any_o man_n bestow_v his_o good_n liberal_o upon_o we_o he_o have_v so_o much_o the_o less_o if_o he_o give_v his_o word_n for_o we_o he_o will_v say_v this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o can_v do_v for_o you_o but_o god_n so_o abound_v in_o riches_n that_o it_o be_v like_o too_o a_o spring_n which_o can_v never_o be_v draw_v dry_a &_o the_o more_o that_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o it_o the_o great_a abundance_n be_v to_o be_v see_v so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o be_v afraid_a too_o come_v unto_o god_n when_o as_o he_o shall_v have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o store_n of_o wealth_n &_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o bind_v unto_o he_o as_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v think_v but_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o make_v we_o the_o boulder_n as_o david_n here_o declare_v unto_o us._n and_o of_o this_o be_v many_o like_a say_n in_o the_o scripture_n o_o lord_n say_v jacob_n i_o be_v never_o worthy_a of_o the_o benefit_n which_o thou_o haste_v bestow_v uson_n i_o 10._o gen._n 32_o 10._o but_o yet_o thou_o haste_v so_o bountiful_o deal_v with_o thy_o servant_n as_o that_o i_o must_v needs_o call_v upon_o thy_o name_n continual_o see_v then_o how_o god_n move_v we_o to_o come_v familyar_o unto_o he_o by_o reason_n that_o he_o show_v himself_o so_o liberal_a and_o have_v his_o hand_n wide_o open_a to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v give_v we_o whatsoever_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n off_o and_o when_o as_o be_v shall_v have_v continue_v thus_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n we_o ought_v the_o boldely_a to_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o david_n himself_o show_v we_o here_o by_o example_n and_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v his_o say_n i_o have_v declare_v my_o way_n and_o thou_o hear_v i_o teach_v i_o thy_o statute_n david_n here_o protest_v that_o god_n have_v give_v ear_n unto_o his_o particular_a matter_n to_o wit_n when_o as_o he_o be_v perplex_v and_o full_a of_o forowe_n he_o then_o call_v upon_o god_n loe_o what_o this_o word_n way_n in_o the_o hebrew_n mean_v where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v acknowledge_v my_o way_n and_o thou_o answear_v i_o to_o wit_n hear_v i_o hereupon_o he_o desire_v that_o god_n will_v teach_v he_o his_o statute_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v show_v he_o the_o right_a rule_n to_o live_v well_o here_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o god_n yield_v his_o consent_n even_o unto_o we_o and_o that_o he_o will_v assist_v we_o in_o all_o our_o several_a need_n we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v teach_v we_o too_o ask_v our_o daily_a bread_n which_o import_v all_o that_o concern_v this_o transitory_a life_n even_o so_o when_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v or_o too_o treat_v off_o god_n grant_v unto_o we_o this_o privilege_n and_o licence_n too_o come_v urito_fw-la he_o yea_o if_o we_o shall_v step_v on_o but_o one_o pace_n or_o but_o remove_v our_o hand_n we_o may_v come_v unto_o god_n beseech_v he_o to_o direct_v and_o conduct_v us._n let_v we_o then_o mark_v this_o inestimable_a goodness_n which_o god_n use_v towards_o we_o when_o he_o see_v well_o that_o we_o have_v show_v unto_o he_o all_o our_o way_n to_o wit_n all_o our_o desire_n and_o small_a matter_n if_o a_o man_n have_v his_o brother_n or_o dear_a companion_n he_o dare_v hardly_o show_v himself_o so_o familyar_o for_o fear_v he_o will_v be_v importune_a upon_o he_o as_o god_n give_v we_o leave_v too_o come_v unto_o he_o what_o bounty_n be_v this_o now_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n make_v himself_o so_o familyar_n in_o our_o small_a affair_n so_o much_o the_o snore_v aught_o we_o to_o beseech_v he_o after_o the_o example_n of_o david_n that_o he_o will_v conduct_v we_o according_a to_o his_o law_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o his_o grace_n to_o live_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o rule_n which_o he_o have_v set_v down_o here_o unto_o us._n see_v then_o how_o that_o by_o the_o less_o we_o must_v come_v too_o the_o great_a as_o by_o particularitye_n we_o must_v come_v to_o generality_n from_o the_o less_o too_o the_o great_a say_v i_o be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n give_v unto_o we_o our_o daily_a bread_n let_v we_o also_o crave_v of_o he_o health_n for_o our_o soul_n if_o god_n will_v so_o humble_v himself_o as_o to_o advise_v we_o when_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v among_o man_n about_o the_o earthly_a affair_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n let_v we_o also_o beseech_v he_o to_o do_v we_o this_o good_a as_o to_o conduct_v we_o likewise_o according_a to_o his_o law_n loe_o here_o how_o we_o may_v come_v from_o the_o lesser_a to_o the_o great_a we_o may_v also_o descend_v from_o particularity_n to_o generality_n when_o as_o we_o shall_v say_v o_o lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v i_o in_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o special_a matter_n now_o by_o a_o more_o forcible_a reason_n i_o may_v call_v upon_o thou_o for_o a_o thing_n which_o may_v serve_v i_o all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o life_n which_o be_v that_o when_o thou_o have_v set_v i_o into_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n thou_o will_v keep_v i_o therein_o and_o that_o thou_o never_o forsake_v i_o until_o such_o time_n as_o thou_o have_v bring_v i_o unto_o that_o end_n and_o perfection_n whereunto_o thou_o have_v call_v i_o it_o follow_v make_v i_o to_o understand_v the_o way_n of_o thy_o commandment_n and_o i_o will_v meditate_v of_o thy_o wondrous_a work_v mark_v here_o the_o third_o reason_n which_o david_n allege_v to_o obtain_v of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v teach_v in_o his_o law_n o_o lord_n say_v he_o make_v i_o to_o understande_v the_o way_n of_o thy_o commandment_n and_o so_o shall_v i_o talk_v of_o thy_o wondrous_a work_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v o_o lord_n if_o it_o be_v thy_o good_a pleasure_n instruct_v i_o according_a to_o thy_o
