16_o the_o righteous_a labour_v to_o do_v good_a but_o the_o ungodly_a use_v his_o increase_n unto_o sin_n when_o man_n occupy_v themselves_o and_o take_v some_o work_n in_o hand_n they_o seek_v to_o profit_v and_o gain_v thereby_o but_o oftentimes_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o for_o none_o but_o good_a people_n do_v true_o prosper_v in_o their_o affair_n though_o man_n reason_n do_v judge_v the_o contrary_n as_o touch_v the_o wicked_a what_o gain_n soever_o they_o get_v &_o what_o joy_n soever_o they_o have_v yet_o do_v it_o all_o turn_n unto_o their_o hurt_n it_o seem_v good_a to_o outward_a appearance_n that_o good_a people_n be_v most_o miserable_a &_o that_o there_o be_v noon_n more_o unhappy_a and_o curse_a than_o they_o in_o all_o the_o world_n but_o solomon_n which_o lie_v not_o do_v show_v we_o their_o prosperity_n when_o he_o attribute_v life_n unto_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v that_o the_o just_a man_n do_v not_o apply_v himself_o unto_o any_o work_n but_o unto_o that_o which_o be_v the_o path_n way_n that_o lead_v unto_o life_n contrary_o after_o the_o outward_a sight_n the_o wicked_a reap_v great_a profit_n by_o the_o work_v they_o take_v in_o hand_n but_o their_o destruction_n which_o be_v great_a be_v at_o hand_n utter_o to_o beat_v they_o down_o solomon_n do_v signify_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o ungodly_a use_v his_o increase_n unto_o sin_n for_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o as_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o profit_v himself_o alone_o but_o do_v serve_v to_o the_o relieve_v 23._o rom._n 6._o 23._o of_o other_o even_o so_o the_o evil_a manner_n of_o the_o wicked_a do_v stir_v up_o other_o unto_o sin_n whereupon_o follow_v death_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o all_o desire_n to_o live_v and_o do_v abhor_v death_n let_v we_o follow_v the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a let_v we_o worship_v one_o only_a god_n according_a unto_o his_o word_n fly_v from_o all_o idolatry_n &_o forsake_v all_o doubt_n and_o distrust_n and_o do_v unto_o our_o neighbour_n as_o we_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o us._n in_o this_o manner_n the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v life_n unto_o us._n and_o let_v we_o not_o desire_v to_o be_v partaker_n with_o the_o unfruitful_a work_n of_o darkness_n which_o be_v the_o revenewe_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o let_v we_o rather_o reproove_v they_o lest_o they_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o for_o sin_n whereof_o follow_v damnation_n but_o although_o we_o desire_v life_n yet_o do_v we_o not_o regard_v to_o follow_v the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a for_o we_o believe_v not_o that_o in_o follow_v it_o we_o shall_v obtain_v life_n see_v that_o as_o it_o be_v write_v we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o just_a be_v many_o in_o number_n they_o be_v exercise_v by_o many_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n and_o seem_v that_o they_o be_v in_o death_n and_o that_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o help_n wherefore_o their_o work_n '_o 20._o psal_n 34._o 20._o and_o say_n be_v think_v to_o be_v unprofitable_a as_o when_o saul_n persecute_v david_n for_o to_o destroy_v he_o and_o compel_v he_o to_o fly_v and_o too_o run_v away_o no_o man_n will_v have_v think_v that_o what_o shift_n soever_o he_o can_v make_v that_o he_o shall_v escape_v the_o hand_n of_o saul_n and_o live_v to_o become_v king_n of_o israel_n likewise_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v see_v to_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o thief_n they_o think_v he_o clean_o destroy_v and_o do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o shall_v ascend_v unto_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n nor_o that_o his_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v through_o all_o the_o world_n and_o so_o their_o work_n be_v not_o see_v but_o to_o serve_v to_o life_n for_o themselves_o and_o for_o other_o and_o at_o all_o time_n man_n have_v judge_v and_o still_o do_v judge_v thus_o of_o the_o faithful_a contrary_o because_o the_o wicked_a be_v strong_a and_o floorishe_v with_o glory_n and_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o desire_n and_o of_o that_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n without_o hindrance_n and_o let_v and_o that_o none_o shall_v withstand_v they_o pharaoh_n &_o his_o folk_n think_v that_o they_o shall_v oppress_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n at_o

receive_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v death_n thus_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a serve_v to_o life_n for_o although_o he_o fall_v into_o diverse_a danger_n and_o be_v
