oftentimes_o swerve_v aside_o and_o which_o more_o be_v we_o must_v sigh_v but_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o often_o as_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o

be_v subject_v some_o to_o sickness_n some_o to_o poverty_n some_o too_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o to_o a_o other_o but_o because_o we_o be_v not_o full_o reform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o

that_o he_o scourge_v we_o and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o mean_n thereof_o we_o may_v be_v prepare_v too_o the_o heavenly_a life_n this_o taste_n of_o the_o say_v fatherly_a goodness_n must_v

be_v very_o profitable_a and_o full_a of_o good_a learning_n for_o first_o of_o all_o we_o see_v that_o our_o affection_n be_v like_o wild_a beast_n which_o dash_n we_o against_o god_n but_o let_v

that_o job_n speak_v not_o at_o his_o own_o leisure_n and_o ease_n you_o see_v he_o be_v in_o such_o affliction_n as_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v full_o determine_v too_o destroy_v he_o utter_o and_o

in_o we_o as_o touch_v his_o very_a substance_n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v ensue_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v subject_a to_o ignorance_n to_o change_v and_o to_o mutability_n yea_o and_o that_o he_o be_v defile_v and_o stain_v with_o our_o sin_n and_o vice_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v a_o point_n that_o have_v sore_o trouble_v the_o

which_o he_o inspire_v into_o we_o by_o his_o power_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o sun_n abide_v in_o the_o sky_n and_o yet_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o beam_n do_v in_o such_o wise_a

and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o not_o have_v any_o of_o his_o substance_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o his_o

it_o behove_v up_o too_o father_n they_o upon_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o how_o sometime_o he_o punish_v they_o that_o have_v abuse_v his_o grace_n and_o sometime_o he_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o perceive_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o punish_v they_o but_o yet_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o terrible_a account_n to_o make_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a fall_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o advance_v they_o without_o cause_n but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o their_o fall_n shall_v be_v the_o greevouser_n even_o to_o break_v their_o neck_n then_o after_o they_o have_v be_v hoist_v up_o aloft_o god_n must_v make_v they_o to_o fall_v after_o that_o fashion_n furthermore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o their_o burial_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o for_o although_o it_o be_v neither_o here_o nor_o there_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o be_v there_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v at_o their_o death_n defy_v god_n and_o nature_n and_o think_v too_o prolong_v their_o greatness_n and_o pompousness_n still_o in_o spite_n of_o nature_n when_o our_o lord_n convey_v they_o into_o rottenness_n yea_o even_o then_o do_v i_o say_v the_o worldly_a and_o fleshe_o man_n make_v much_o more_o bravery_n than_o in_o all_o their_o life_n afore_o for_o their_o sumptuous_a burial_n be_v too_o save_o their_o memorial_n from_o perish_v that_o man_n may_v speak_v of_o it_o for_o ever_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o the_o foolish_a curiosity_n which_o the_o worldling_n and_o unbeliever_n use_v in_o be_v bury_v with_o great_a pomp_n be_v to_o continue_v their_o pride_n in_o despite_n of_o god_n but_o god_n laugh_v such_o presumption_n to_o scorn_v for_o he_o disappoint_v their_o expectation_n in_o so_o much_o that_o whereas_o they_o purpose_v to_o be_v bury_v honourable_o diverse_a time_n he_o have_v give_v they_o a_o clean_a contrary_a burial_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o burial_n be_v bring_v in_o by_o god_n it_o be_v no_o invention_n of_o man_n without_o good_a ground_n but_o it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o witness_n unto_o we_o of_o the_o resurrection_n &_o everlasting_a life_n when_o man_n be_v bury_v they_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o store_n house_n until_o they_o may_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o our_o burial_n be_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o look_a glass_n of_o the_o resurrection_n therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a be_v disappoint_v of_o burial_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n utter_v his_o curse_n upon_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n yea_o even_o as_o well_o in_o death_n as_o in_o life_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o the_o wicked_a be_v bury_v honourable_o we_o must_v not_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o nor_o think_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v himself_o or_o that_o he_o execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n in_o convenient_a time_n for_o we_o see_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o what_o say_v it_o of_o lazarus_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n

not_o of_o it_o it_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o burial_n of_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n contrariwise_o if_o god_n child_n happen_v sometime_o to_o lie_v unbury_v be_v it_o to_o be_v conclude_v therefore_o that_o they_o be_v accurse_v no_o like_v as_o when_o the_o wicked_a be_v bury_v it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v in_o their_o death_n but_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o

every_o of_o they_o shall_v sanctify_v himself_o for_o under_o the_o law_n and_o before_o the_o law_n when_o man_n offer_v sacrifice_n it_o behove_v the_o offerer_n to_o be_v cleanse_v before_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v to_o do_v they_o to_o wit_n how_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o approach_v unto_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n if_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n such_o as_o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o we_o deserve_v to_o be_v shake_v off_o and_o to_o be_v take_v at_o his_o hand_n for_o stink_a carrion_n therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o make_v ourselves_o clean_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v do_v the_o man_n of_o old_a time_n have_v certain_a ceremony_n according_a as_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v such_o help_n before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o rawness_n of_o the_o time_n but_o now_o in_o these_o day_n we_o know_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o god_n son_n which_o be_v shed_v to_o wash_v we_o withal_o therefore_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o be_v receive_v for_o clean_a before_o god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o repair_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o furthermore_o we_o must_v also_o sigh_v for_o our_o sin_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n be_v we_o to_o be_v cleanse_v namely_o by_o acknowledge_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o which_o by_o and_o by_o cause_v a_o soriness_n and_o hatred_n of_o ourselves_o for_o that_o we_o have_v be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o displease_v god_n and_o thus_o

what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o at_o all_o time_n and_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o call_v upon_o god_n every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o own_o poorness_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o be_v displease_v with_o himself_o for_o it_o and_o therewithal_o also_o desire_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wash_v we_o and_o make_v we_o clean_o with_o his_o blood_n so_o that_o we_o may_v appear_v as_o if_o we_o be_v pure_a and_o clean_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n his_o father_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v not_o only_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n nor_o for_o some_o certain_a time_n but_o continual_o all_o our_o life_n long_o and_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v sacrifice_v as_o the_o true_a easterlamb_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v still_o be_v copartener_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n special_o as_o he_o say_v in_o all_o pureness_n he_o say_v not_o that_o christian_n ought_v to_o sanctify_v themselves_o unto_o god_n once_o a_o year_n but_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o continue_v their_o holiness_n all_o their_o life_n through_o out_o wherefore_o because_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o jesus_n

be_v face_n to_o face_n so_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v for_o there_o have_v god_n discover_v himself_o familiar_o unto_o we_o therefore_o it_o become_v we_o to_o have_v the_o say_a affection_n and_o zel●_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v whole_o and_o full_o give_v unto_o he_o forsake_v all_o filthiness_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o from_o the_o

which_o have_v be_v touch_v in_o the_o first_o lecture_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o have_v always_o some_o
can_v they_o enjoy_v it_o for_o ever_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o continue_v the_o say_a grace_n which_o he_o have_v put_v into_o they_o and_o like_v as_o we_o speak_v of_o life_n so_o must_v we_o speak_v of_o righteousness_n also_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o steadfast_a further_o forth_o than_o god_n hold_v they_o up_o by_o his_o hand_n right_o be_v they_o call_v principality_n &_o power_n but_o that_o be_v because_o god_n execute_v his_o power_n by_o they_o and_o guide_v they_o to_o be_v short_a the_o angel_n have_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o whereof_o to_o make_v their_o boast_n for_o all_o the_o power_n and_o steadfastness_n which_o they_o have_v they_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o indebt_v to_o he_o for_o it_o as_o touch_v that_o which_o follow_v namely_o that_o god_n find_v or_o put_v for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n import_v that_o god_n put_v folly_n or_o vanity_n it_o imply_v not_o that_o the_o vanity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o angel_n come_v of_o god_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o he_o put_v it_o to_o they_o or_o charge_v they_o with_o it_o by_o his_o judgement_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o as_o a_o judge_n he_o give_v sentence_n that_o there_o be_v folly_n &_o vanity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v faultiness_n in_o the_o angel_n yea_o &_o that_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v before_o he_o if_o he_o will_v deal_v rigorous_o with_o they_o very_o this_o seem_v strange_a to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o exercise_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o if_o we_o wist_v what_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v we_o shall_v not_o marvel_v that_o the_o angel_n themselves_o be_v find_v to_o be_v faulty_a if_o he_o shall_v compare_v they_o with_o himself_o for_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n be_v small_a in_o estimation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n which_o be_v utter_o infinite_a therefore_o we_o must_v always_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o &_o the_o other_o we_o see_v the_o angel_n have_v wonderful_a power_n &_o virtue_n special_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o for_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o angel_n abide_v in_o the_o degree_n of_o creature_n yet_o may_v we_o well_o glorify_v they_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n the_o greatness_n of_o he_o must_v swallow_v up_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o likewise_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o sun_n darken_v all_o the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n and_o what_o be_v the_o sun_n he_o be_v a_o planet_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o because_o god_n have_v grant_v that_o creature_n to_o have_v more_o brightness_n than_o the_o other_o star_n all_o of_o they_o must_v needs_o he_o overshadow_a so_o as_o no_o star_n can_v be_v pereeyve_v when_o the_o sun_n have_v his_o full_a power_n and_o what_o will_v be_v do_v they_o when_o god_n himself_o come_v forth_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n

speak_v of_o god_n kingdom_n he_o show_v that_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v away_o &_o nothing_o be_v glorify_v but_o only_a god_n see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o refer_v it_o also_o to_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n find_v lack_n in_o his_o angel_n although_o they_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o the_o service_n which_o the_o angel_n do_v unto_o god_n be_v perfect_a according_a to_o the_o perfection_n that_o can_v be_v in_o creature_n likewise_o as_o in_o that_o respect_n when_o in_o pray_v we_o desire_v god_n that_o his_o will_n may_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n we_o witness_v that_o there_o be_v no_o untowardness_n in_o the_o obedience_n which_o the_o angel_n yield_v unto_o he_o but_o that_o he_o reign_v in_o they_o after_o such_o a_o peaceable_a manner_n as_o they_o be_v whole_o conformable_a to_o his_o will._n but_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o go_v no_o further_o but_o to_o the_o degree_n &_o state_n of_o creature_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o perfection_n in_o the_o angel_n very_o such_o

more_o when_o the_o sun_n give_v his_o light_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o how_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v to_o gather_v together_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o thereby_o he_o show_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v their_o steadfastness_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o be_v

much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o bethink_v we_o of_o god_n righteousness_n a_o great_a while_n aforehand_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o we_o may_v

yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n can_v not_o be_v reprove_v then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a manner_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a for_o he_o punish_v man_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n and_o too_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a for_o how_o so_o ever_o he_o handle_v man_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v and_o not_o grudge_v

although_o he_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o by_o it_o yet_o can_v he_o not_o but_o strengthen_v himself_o in_o his_o complaint_n or_o rather_o give_v they_o their_o full_a scope_n for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n that_o be_v put_v there_o signify_v both_o to_o leave_v or_o let_v loose_a and_o also_o to_o fortify_v or_o strengthen_v therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o job_n speak_v here_o as_o a_o man_n over-full_a of_o passion_n nevertheless_o he_o know_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v and_o restrain_v himself_o neither_o labour_v he_o to_o make_v his_o own_o case_n good_a by_o

before_o he_o condemn_v he_o he_o shall_v show_v he_o wherefore_o he_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o and_o that_o before_o he_o bring_v he_o down_o to_o that_o point_n he_o shall_v make_v he_o

the_o hebrew_n word_n signify_v oftentimes_o to_o mislike_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v my_o soul_n be_v weary_a of_o my_o life_n or_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o live_v any_o long_o but_o the_o true_a

it_o behove_v he_o to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o own_o person_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v thorough_o for_o if_o we_o look_v but_o upon_o our_o present_a state_n what_o can_v we_o do_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v utter_o overthrow_v by_o it_o and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o although_o a_o man_n be_v at_o his_o ease_n yet_o have_v he_o no_o continuance_n too_o bear_v out_o
no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o

after_o we_o have_v once_o be_v bring_v to_o dust_n we_o shall_v be_v raze_v up_o again_o job_n perceive_v not_o this_o and_o why_o because_o it_o behoove_v god_n first_o too_o make_v he_o feel_v his_o sharp_a and_o sore_a rigour_n and_o afterward_o to_o comfort_v he_o again_o and_o it_o be_v a_o text_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o for_o if_o we_o mind_n too_o receive_v the_o

be_v we_o desirous_a i_o say_v too_o taste_v what_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v first_o we_o must_v know_v too_o what_o end_n we_o be_v bear_v yea_o even_o according_a as_o we_o be_v sinner_n in_o

into_o this_o world_n and_o be_v as_o noble_a and_o excellent_a creature_n of_o god_n as_o any_o can_v be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o mean_n of_o sin_n death_n have_v as_o it_o be_v abolish_v and_o raze_v out_o that_o nobleness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o god_n mislike_v we_o and_o disclaim_v we_o as_o though_o his_o hand_n have_v not_o fashion_v we_o because_o we_o be_v disfigure_v and_o the_o devil_n have_v set_v his_o mark_n and_o stamp_n upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o be_v subject_n too_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o adam_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o banish_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n but_o it_o abhor_v we_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o that_o battle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v utter_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o wretched_a our_o life_n be_v and_o that_o death_n be_v yet_o more_o wretched_a because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a gulf_n that_o serve_v too_o show_v we_o of_o what_o importance_n the_o curse_n be_v which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o of_o heaviness_n and_o what_o remedy_n be_v there_o the_o remedy_n be_v to_o turn_v our_o eye_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n be_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o who_o we_o have_v the_o true_a daysun_n of_o righteousness_n now_o than_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v of_o what_o mind_n job_n speak_v here_o he_o know_v that_o if_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o in_o their_o death_n howbeit_o see_v we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n although_o our_o state_n seem_v never_o so_o wretched_a insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v but_o as_o poor_a worm_n subject_a too_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n yet_o come_v we_o too_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o make_v light_a to_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v cause_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n to_o shine_v forth_o in_o our_o death_n yea_o even_o more_o than_o in_o our_o life_n for_o when_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o dungeon_n and_o gulf_n of_o hell_n then_o do_v god_n open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o even_o then_o he_o make_v we_o too_o enter_v into_o the_o dwell_a place_n whereoutof_o we_o be_v now_o after_o a_o sort_n banish_v and_o christ_n enlighten_v we_o not_o only_o in_o death_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o darkness_n which_o be_v there_o shall_v not_o darken_v we_o and_o quite_o overwhelm_v we_o but_o also_o in_o our_o life_n this_o present_a world_n as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o be_v full_a of_o darkness_n and_o we_o be_v poor_a blind_a soul_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n cess_v not_o to_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n we_o have_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v as_o burn_a cressette_n too_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o far_o great_a light_n yea_o even_o as_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o high_a noon_n you_o see_v then_o how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n for_o we_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n so_o we_o look_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v first_o feel_v what_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n environ_v we_o round_o about_o until_o such_o time_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n furthermore_o when_o jesus_n christ_n

before_o our_o eye_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o comfort_v our_o soul_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n for_o they_o be_v always_o incomber_v and_o have_v not_o their_o perfect_a joy_n so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v in_o our_o body_n and_o till_o that_o god_n take_v they_o up_o to_o himself_o for_o a_o do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o think_v upon_o death_n alone_o by_o itself_o without_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o any_o high_a god_n may_v now_o and_o then_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o same_o point_n that_o he_o

as_o concern_v the_o secret_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o man_n must_v learn_v to_o use_v modesty_n in_o they_o to_o be_v short_a our_o wisdom_n must_v be_v to_o harken_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o

in_o mind_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n make_v we_o not_o to_o feel_v his_o favour_n at_o the_o first_o push_n therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bliss_v and_o he_o will_v make_v they_o to_o prosper_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n visit_v not_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v alienate_v quite_o from_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o linger_v in_o pain_n so_o as_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o they_o be_v but_o that_o to_o their_o seem_n god_n have_v utter_o forsake_v they_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o walk_v in_o this_o world_n through_o many_o affliction_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o serve_v god_n but_o heerewithall_o we_o have_v a_o double_a comfort_n which_o be_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o although_o our_o heart_n tend_v unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o with_o such_o zeal_n as_o it_o ought_v neither_o do_v we_o serve_v he_o with_o such_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o do_v therefore_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v punishment_n and_o correction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o yet_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n make_v we_o to_o consider_v our_o own_o want_n that_o we_o may_v humble_v

the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o like_a as_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o tribulation_n and_o death_n even_o

the_o end_n and_o issue_n of_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v utter_v of_o god_n we_o see_v then_o what_o the_o sum_n of_o his_o intent_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n he_o mean_v to_o say_v that_o he_o

if_o we_o know_v ourselves_o to_o have_v fulfil_v god_n law_n which_o be_v unpossible_a but_o i_o admit_v it_o be_v so_o i_o say_v when_o a_o man_n try_v his_o work_n thorough_o if_o he_o find_v that_o his_o life_n have_v be_v conformable_a to_o god_n law_n then_o be_v he_o justify_v after_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v apparent_a and_o know_v to_o we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o

for_o there_o need_v none_o other_o proof_n to_o show_v that_o all_o man_n be_v curse_v and_o damn_a then_o that_o god_n say_v that_o whosoever_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v

that_o when_o we_o behold_v he_o we_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o know_v that_o god_n hand_n be_v too_o heavy_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v &_o also_o consider_v our_o own_o frailty_n

enter_v into_o that_o doubt_n afterward_o they_o harden_v themselves_o in_o it_o and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v leave_v they_o there_o and_o that_o satan_n shall_v carry_v they_o headlong_o and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o that_o point_n they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o blear_a out_o their_o tongue_n against_o all_o doctrine_n there_o be_v no_o more_o grief_n nor_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n in_o they_o but_o to_o be_v short_a they_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o humanity_n and_o become_v brutish_a thus_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v at_o that_o point_n shall_v ever_o return_v to_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o strait_o in_o subjection_n unto_o god_n to_o bear_v such_o reverence_n to_o his_o word_n as_o we_o may_v shun_v and_o utter_o abhor_v and_o detest_v the_o slight_n and_o subtlety_n wherein_o the_o wicked_a

who_o he_o shall_v render_v a_o account_n such_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v shepherd_n to_o feed_v god_n people_n must_v employ_v all_o their_o strength_n and_o power_n thereupon_o neither_o must_v

they_o the_o land_n and_o no_o stranger_n have_v pass_v through_o it_o it_o be_v to_o express_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v a_o excellent_a prerogative_n from_o above_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o maintain_v the_o government_n that_o be_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o god_n favour_v he_o and_o it_o become_v he_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o benefit_n for_o there_o be_v no_o policy_n of_o manable_a to_o do_v that_o thorough_o also_o whereas_o eliphas_n say_v that_o those_o of_o who_o he_o speak_v have_v reign_v peaceable_o and_o that_o god_n have_v bliss_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v not_o trouble_v but_o have_v so_o guide_v their_o subject_n as_o their_o dominion_n contain_v in_o quietness_n thereby_o we_o be_v do_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o god_n maintain_v state_n and_o a_o country_n be_v in_o peace_n we_o must_v not_o father_n it_o upon_o mortal_a man_n but_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o

due_a praise_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a article_n that_o we_o have_v touch_v eliphas_n say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n be_v always_o as_o it_o be_v travel_v with_o child_n that_o

they_o by_o a_o thread_n that_o their_o eye_n shall_v be_v sink_v in_o their_o head_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o such_o anguish_n of_o mind_n that_o in_o the_o morning_n they_o shall_v say_v who_o will_v warrant_v i_o my_o life_n until_o night_n and_o when_o night_n be_v come_v how_o may_v i_o endure_v till_o tomorrow_o lo_o how_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o walk_v not_o pure_o according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o pureness_n be_v there_o in_o our_o life_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o not_o to_o be_v toss_v with_o any_o care_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o god_n protection_n and_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o may_v pass_v through_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v hap_v what_o hap_n will_v we_o shall_v be_v sure_a of_o a_o good_a and_o steadfast_a leaningstocke_n but_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o god_n watch_v over_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o think_v he_o be_v against_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a and_o not_o know_v where_o to_o become_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n use_v the_o say_v menace_v against_o the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o law_n and_o so_o be_v eliphassis_n say_v very_o true_a that_o the_o wicked_a be_v always_o fearful_a according_a also_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n liken_v the_o thought_n of_o wicked_a folk_n too_o wave_n that_o beat_v one_o against_o another_o when_o any_o tempest_n be_v you_o see_v the_o water_n stir_v and_o the_o wave_n

all_o those_o that_o have_v not_o seek_v to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o and_o how_o may_v we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n by_o walk_v in_o a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n and_o special_o by_o know_v that_o we_o have_v none_o other_o foundation_n too_o stand_v upon_o save_v only_o his_o mercy_n in_o that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o that_o there_o with_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o assure_v ourselves_o to_o be_v happy_a both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n because_o it_o please_v he_o to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o and_o to_o receive_v we_o and_o gather_v we_o up_o to_o himself_o mark_v i_o say_v how_o the_o way_n for_o man_n too_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n be_v to_o assure_v themselves_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o therewithal_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o as_o they_o endeavour_n to_o have_v a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n and_o this_o peace_n be_v join_v with_o a_o joy_n which_o saint_n paul_n term_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v when_o we_o be_v strengthen_v by_o faith_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o this_o

with_o god_n fill_v they_o shall_v be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o their_o profit_n and_o what_o manner_n of_o peace_n be_v it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n but_o rather_o they_o turn_v their_o tail_n upon_o he_o but_o the_o true_a peace_n which_o be_v happy_a and_o bliss_v of_o god_n be_v when_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o he_o and_o come_v to_o he_o and_o thereupon_o be_v in_o quiet_a assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o receive_v reckon_v and_o avow_v we_o to_o be_v his_o so_o as_o he_o will_v not_o give_v we_o up_o but_o guide_v we_o always_o both_o in_o

altogether_o to_o his_o goodness_n moreover_o sometime_o he_o prick_v and_o spur_v we_o too_o come_v too_o he_o the_o more_o earnest_o and_o too_o beseech_v he_o to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o and_o that_o whensoever_o we_o be_v toss_v after_o that_o sort_n we_o need_v no_o more_o but_o to_o unload_v our_o care_n into_o his_o lap_n and_o to_o rest_v ourselves_o there_o in_o all_o caces_fw-la and_o there_o to_o take_v all_o our_o contentation_n and_o comfort_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o be_v strike_v with_o

the_o grace_n of_o god_n if_o it_o please_v our_o lord_n we_o shall_v be_v feed_v though_o there_o want_v bread_n drink_n &_o meat_n according_a as_o he_o say_v he_o will_v feed_v those_o that_o be_v

to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o it_o &_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o have_v neither_o strength_n nor_o sustenance_n but_o by_o the_o spread_a out_o of_o god_n goodness_n upon_o we_o which_o

upon_o that_o furthermore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v strong_a let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o last_v ever_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o

let_v we_o mark_v here_o that_o this_o word_n the_o firstborn_a of_o death_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o great_a force_n when_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n and_o that_o god_n

what_o must_v be_v do_v then_o let_v every_o man_n dispose_v himself_o to_o die_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n do_v we_o a_o inestimable_a grace_n in_o voutchsafe_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o

that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o here_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v that_o although_o both_o of_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o pass_v through_o

that_o be_v the_o very_a due_a and_o convenient_a season_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o two_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v seek_v god_n in_o due_a time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o their_o adversity_n press_v they_o not_o that_o we_o have_v not_o occasion_n to_o do_v so_o continual_o but_o because_o we_o have_v more_o occasion_n then_o than_o at_o

and_o will_v we_o to_o take_v it_o but_o also_o do_v as_o it_o be_v draw_v we_o by_o force_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a sluggishness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_n now_o herewithal_o let_v we_o understand_v what_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v that_o in_o all_o our_o adversity_n we_o be_v right_o happy_a and_o that_o all_o the_o curse_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n be_v turn_v to_o our_o welfare_n by_o mean_n of_o faith_n when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o trouble_n he_o show_v himself_o our_o saviour_n and_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o after_o that_o job_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o the_o ungodly_a will_v not_o delight_n in_o the_o almighty_a nor_o seek_v always_o unto_o he_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n will_v not_o seek_v always_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o pray_v when_o we_o can_v none_o otherwise_o do_v but_o also_o that_o we_o must_v do_v it_o ordinary_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o can_v pass_v one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n without_o god_n help_n and_o sure_o the_o favour_n that_o we_o look_v for_o at_o his_o hand_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o deliver_v from_o death_n when_o we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o at_o the_o pit_n brim_n but_o also_o in_o preserve_v we_o and_o in_o turn_v away_o evil_a from_o we_o for_o we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o life_n we_o be_v continual_o besiege_v with_o a_o hundred_o death_n and_o the_o misery_n wheretoo_o we_o be_v subject_a be_v without_o number_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o guard_v we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o wall_n and_o bulwark_n according_a also_o as_o he_o say_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o he_o be_v our_o fortress_n and_o shield_n and_o so_o be_v he_o also_o name_v oftentimes_o in_o the_o psalm_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n not_o only_a when_o he_o touch_v we_o and_o smite_v as_o it_o be_v with_o hard_a stroke_n upon_o we_o but_o even_o when_o we_o be_v at_o our_o ease_n and_o rest_n &_o perceive_v no_o danger_n toward_o even_o then_o say_v i_o behove_v it_o we_o nevertheless_o to_o consider_v to_o how_o many_o misery_n our_o life_n be_v subject_a that_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v they_o except_o god_n preserve_v we_o we_o may_v run_v unto_o he_o and_o say_v alas_o lord_n keep_v we_o thou_o under_o thy_o protection_n and_o by_o thy_o providence_n make_v we_o able_a too_o pass_v through_o so_o many_o death_n which_o hem_v we_o in_o round_o about_o and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v both_o evening_n &_o morning_n moreover_o we_o know_v without_o go_v any_o further_a what_o temptation_n assail_v we_o daily_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n it_o must_v not_o only_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v preserve_v we_o from_o the_o danger_n wherein_o we_o be_v concern_v this_o present_a life_n but_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o satan_n temptation_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o too_o fall_v into_o evil_n according_a as_o there_o be_v deadly_a downefalle_v whereinto_o we_o may_v tumble_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n if_o we_o be_v not_o hold_v up_o by_o his_o power_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o need_v the_o faithful_a have_v too_o be_v so_o defend_v and_o shield_v by_o god_n hand_n for_o when_o satan_n can_v overcome_v we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o undermine_v we_o anew_o both_o before_o and_o behind_o and_o he_o assault_v as_o well_o at_o one_o side_n as_o on_o the_o other_o and_o as_o well_o above_o as_o beneath_o he_o have_v so_o many_o fiery_a and_o burn_a dart_n that_o he_o will_v wound_n we_o to_o the_o death_n be_v it_o not_o that_o god_n do_v defend_v and_o preserve_v we_o so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o pray_v only_o once_o a_o day_n or_o when_o the_o need_n itself_o constrain_v we_o but_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o continual_o and_o to_o make_v a_o ordinary_a exercise_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a pray_v not_o at_o all_o time_n unto_o god._n but_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o for_o job_n intent_n be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o whereas_o the_o wicked_a man_n do_v now_o and_o then_o make_v countenance_n to_o pray_v yet_o do_v he_o not_o continue_v in_o that_o mind_n he_o proceed_v not_o constant_o and_o after_o one_o continual_a rate_n and_o here_o you_o see_v wherein_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n differ_v from_o the_o prayer_n of_o god_n child_n for_o a_o hypocrite_n without_o examine_v of_o his_o own_o heart_n will_v well-enough_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o god_n child_n do_v to_o outward_a sight_n he_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n yea_o and_o he_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v need_n to_o do_v so_o but_o if_o the_o least_o temptation_n in_o the_o world_n light_n upon_o he_o he_o fret_v with_o himself_o &_o meddle_v no_o more_o with_o call_v upon_o god_n but_o grunt_v against_o he_o and_o foam_v up_o such_o rage_n as_o he_o show_v well_o that_o he_o neither_o depend_v upon_o god_n before_o nor_o trust_v in_o he_o nor_o seek_v he_o with_o a_o rightmeen_a mind_n and_o that_o all_o be_v but_o counterfetnesse_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o
young_a man_n which_o have_v as_o it_o be_v couch_v down_o before_o he_o heretofore_o rise_v up_o at_o one_o side_n and_o trip_v up_o his_o heel_n to_o make_v he_o fall_v or_o cast_v stone_n in_o his_o way_n for_o he_o to_o dash_v or_o stumble_v at_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o be_v mock_v on_o all_o side_n and_o have_v no_o more_o the_o reverence_n that_o he_o speak_v of_o before_o to_o be_v short_a he_o mean_v that_o god_n have_v lay_v he_o open_a to_o all_o injury_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v that_o his_o soul_n vex_v he_o wherefore_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v wound_v through_o and_o through_o for_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v mock_v and_o not_o pass_v great_o for_o it_o but_o job_n show_v that_o the_o reproach_n and_o injury_n which_o man_n do_v unto_o he_o touch_v he_o to_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v that_o his_o soul_n have_v be_v persecute_v and_o his_o welfare_n as_o it_o be_v pluck_v from_o he_o the_o hebrew_n word_n which_o he_o use_v do_v proper_o signify_v royal_a princely_a or_o excellent_a and_o also_o bountiful_a liberal_a willing_a or_o free-hearted_a and_o the_o word_n soul_n be_v not_o express_v therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o job_n mean_v too_o name_v his_o soul_n and_o to_o term_v it_o royal_a or_o princely_a as_o the_o noble_a free_a liberal_a or_o bountifull_a part_n like_v as_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v term_v bountiful_a or_o liberal_a because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o liberality_n and_o have_v wherewith_o to_o do_v it_o howbeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o

to_o the_o other_o and_o tend_v both_o to_o one_o end_n the_o very_a meaning_n of_o this_o text_n be_v that_o job_n say_v that_o his_o highness_n be_v overthrow_v and_o his_o welfare_n take_v quite_o from_o he_o first_o therefore_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n excellency_n or_o highness_n and_o afterward_o add_v the_o word_n welfare_n which_o have_v a_o further_a scope_n the_o natural_a

have_v the_o example_n of_o job._n he_o be_v excellent_a among_o man_n for_o a_o time_n and_o his_o state_n have_v be_v as_o noble_a as_o any_o man_n and_o now_o behold_v god_n set_v he_o as_o a_o

job_n declare_v that_o he_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n deal_v so_o rough_o with_o he_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o his_o prosperity_n he_o have_v not_o be_v cruel_a but_o pitiful_a towards_o the_o poor_a and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o heaviness_n and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v drunken_a in_o his_o pleasure_n but_o have_v always_o consider_v what_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n life_n be_v so_o that_o he_o weep_v with_o they_o that_o do_v weep_v and_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o as_o be_v torment_v with_o adversity_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n allege_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o afflict_v and_o sure_o when_o god_n beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n common_o it_o be_v because_o he_o see_v that_o we_o can_v bear_v our_o own_o ease_n and_o that_o our_o flesh_n grow_v overlusty_a or_o else_o we_o be_v cruel_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n lo_o here_o the_o two_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v ordinary_o afflict_v we_o and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o threaten_v those_o that_o do_v so_o pass_v their_o bound_n in_o their_o prosperity_n woe_n be_v to_o you_o say_v it_o that_o laugh_v for_o you_o shall_v

themselves_o and_o think_v they_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o adversity_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a folk_n like_v as_o a_o drunken_a man_n have_v no_o stay_n of_o himself_o but_o rush_v with_o his_o horn_n as_o a_o wild_a beast_n even_o so_o fare_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n when_o god_n handle_v they_o gentle_o that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n and_o fling_v out_o at_o rover_n &_o give_v the_o bridle_n to_o their_o lust_n for_o have_v a_o man_n meat_n and_o drink_v even_o his_o fill_n thereupon_o ensue_v whoredom_n and_o shameful_a wantonness_n yea_o and_o blasphemy_n and_o violence_n and_o moreover_o fond_a jest_n and_o play_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n &_o to_o be_v short_a a_o man_n can_v hold_v himself_o in_o good_a modesty_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n afflict_v man_n be_v for_o that_o he_o see_v it_o be_v for_o their_o behoof_n to_o be_v so_o correct_v furthermore_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o inconvenience_n for_o they_o that_o have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n pass_v not_o for_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o despise_v they_o and_o set_v their_o foot_n in_o their_o neck_n we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v in_o reproach_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomor_n behold_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o bread_n and_o therewithal_o pleasure_n and_o cruelty_n so_o as_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v in_o need_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o they_o that_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n will_v not_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o trouble_n and_o incumberance_n of_o their_o neighbour_n but_o hold_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o earthly_a paradyse_n and_o exempt_v themselves_o from_o the_o feel_n of_o all_o their_o grief_n and_o adversity_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o handle_v they_o rough_o when_o their_o turn_n come_v about_o and_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o have_v have_v no_o pity_n nor_o compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n that_o they_o have_v see_v in_o their_o brethren_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o make_v they_o feel_v by_o force_n anon_o after_o that_o they_o be_v but_o man_n they_o will_v discharge_v themselves_o of_o all_o worldly_a misery_n and_o god_n show_v they_o perforce_o that_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n know_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o god_n ordinary_a afflict_v of_o man_n be_v either_o because_o they_o have_v be_v cruel_a in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o prosperity_n or_o because_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o drunken_a in_o their_o lawless_a pleasure_n but_o he_o erewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n may_v just_o keep_v we_o occupy_v with_o adversity_n though_o the_o foresay_a cause_n be_v not_o and_o that_o he_o have_v secret_a determination_n whereof_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n like_v as_o it_o happen_v unto_o job._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n complain_v for_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v afflict_v he_o after_o that_o manner_n see_v he_o have_v behave_v himself_o so_o advise_o but_o rather_o he_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v spare_v he_o see_v he_o have_v be_v so_o fellowlike_o and_o friendly_o a_o man_n and_o be_v sad_a and_o sorry_a with_o such_o as_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o what_o for_o that_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o we_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o bear_v away_o the_o
mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o it_o have_v always_o be_v god_n will_v that_o the_o love_a of_o their_o enemy_n shall_v be_v the_o mark_n of_o his_o child_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o let_v we_o harken_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n if_o thine_o enemy_n ox_n or_o ass_n be_v fall_v into_o a_o ditch_n thou_o shall_v lift_v he_o out_o god_n command_v we_o to_o do_v good_a to_o our_o enemy_n brute_n beast_n &_o shall_v we_o not_o then_o do_v the_o best_a we_o can_v to_o succour_v their_o own_o person_n i_o be_o bind_v to_o procure_v my_o enemy_n welfare_n and_o to_o show_v it_o even_o in_o his_o cattle_n &_o what_o shall_v i_o then_o do_v to_o his_o person_n which_o be_v much_o more_o precious_a so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o conclude_v against_o the_o horrible_a blasphemy_n of_o the_o papist_n that_o god_n will_v have_v at_o all_o time_n be_v that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v love_v those_o that_o hate_v they_o and_o endeavour_n to_o do_v those_o good_a which_o hurt_v they_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o hereupon_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o counsel_n that_o may_v free_o be_v leave_v undo_v but_o a_o straight_o commandment_n against_o the_o which_o we_o can_v strive_v without_o offend_a god_n deadly_a now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n will_v bind_v the_o faithful_a to_o love_v their_o enemy_n even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n much_o more_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o say_a rule_n now_o for_o we_o have_v a_o more_o large_a declaration_n of_o it_o by_o the_o holy_a mouth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n be_v dark_a of_o itself_o yea_o and_o it_o be_v wrest_v awry_o by_o the_o scribe_n and_o the_o pharisee_n but_o now_o have_v jesus_n christ_n bring_v it_o again_o to_o his_o pureness_n &_o tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o love_v not_o those_o which_o hate_v we_o and_o endeavour_n not_o to_o help_v those_o that_o will_v hurt_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v acknowledge_v for_o god_n child_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o horrible_a threat_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v disherit_v of_o god_n kingdom_n and_o that_o he_o will_v shake_v we_o off_o and_o banish_v we_o from_o the_o fellowship_n of_o his_o child_n see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v with_o such_o threaten_v tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v bear_v good_a will_n to_o our_o enemy_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o to_o that_o doctrine_n and_o therein_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o shameless_a boldness_n of_o the_o papist_n have_v be_v to_o villeynous_a yea_o and_o to_o devilish_a in_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n word_n be_v but_o a_o simple_a admonition_n see_v it_o be_v match_v with_o such_o a_o sentence_n of_o damnation_n that_o god_n will_v renounce_v we_o and_o banish_v we_o out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n if_o we_o overmaster_v not_o our_o heart_n so_o far_o as_o too_o love_v those_o that_o hate_v we_o moreover_o we_o have_v also_o a_o mirror_n hereof_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o offer_v himself_o for_o such_o as_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n wherefore_o endure_v he_o so_o bitter_a death_n but_o too_o reconcile_v we_o now_o if_o there_o behoove_v a_o reconciliation_n too_o be_v make_v then_o be_v there_o a_o hatred_n and_o god_n and_o we_o be_v at_o odds_n behold_v then_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yield_v himself_o to_o death_n yea_o and_o too_o all_o curse_n to_o recover_v we_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o ought_v not_o such_o a_o pledge_n to_o break_v our_o heart_n though_o they_o be_v hard_a than_o stone_n and_o this_o be_v it_o also_o whereunto_o saint_n paul_n bring_v we_o back_o in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o ephesian_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o subdue_v all_o the_o hatred_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v against_o our_o enemy_n thus_o than_o the_o order_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v be_v that_o those_o which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n offend_v god_n when_o they_o intend_v to_o revenge_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o which_o have_v such_o a_o declaration_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o bear_v our_o enemy_n no_o evil_a will_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o seek_v their_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o diverse_a have_v thonght_n they_o shall_v be_v discharge_v before_o god_n so_o they_o run_v not_o with_o naked_a sword_n against_o those_o that_o have_v offend_v they_o or_o do_v they_o any_o wrong_n as_o for_o i_o say_v they_o i_o will_v seek_v no_o revenge_n but_o i_o pray_v god_n avenge_v i_o of_o they_o &_o it_o will_v do_v i_o good_a at_o the_o heart_n if_o i_o may_v see_v a_o mischief_n light_n upon_o they_o yea_o nay_o here_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o practise_v of_o this_o doctrine_n when_o jesus_n christ_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o that_o curse_v we_o speak_v well_o of_o they_o that_o backbite_v we_o and_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o seek_v to_o hurt_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o be_v so_o full_a of_o poison_n that_o we_o desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v overwhelm_v they_o and_o on_o what_o side_n soever_o any_o mishap_n befall_v they_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o can_v this_o be_v do_v without_o the_o overthrow_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v other_o also_o to_o be_v find_v which_o have_v not_o so_o malicious_a a_o heart_n as_o to_o suffer_v their_o wicked_a lust_n to_o have_v open_a liberty_n but_o they_o will_v say_v as_o for_o i_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o forgive_v he_o and_o i_o wish_v he_o no_o more_o harm_n than_o too_o myself_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n they_o can_v wish_v the_o welfare_n and_o profit_n of_o such_o as_o have_v displease_v they_o or_o with_o who_o the_o be_v offend_v but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o revenge_a with_o our_o hand_n &_o our_o tongue_n neither_o be_v it_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o put_v away_o evil_a will_n so_o as_o we_o will_v not_o wish_v any_o harm_n or_o adversity_n to_o such_o as_o be_v our_o enemy_n but_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o go_v one_o degree_n further_o and_o how_o be_v that_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v love_v they_o for_o if_o job_n have_v not_o love_v his_o enemy_n sure_o he_o will_v have_v rejoice_v at_o their_o misfortune_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o too_o keep_v our_o heart_n lock_v up_o that_o they_o be_v not_o provoke_v against_o such_o as_o offend_v we_o but_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o bear_v they_o such_o a_o affection_n of_o friendship_n as_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a when_o any_o evil_n happen_v unto_o they_o and_o also_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n of_o they_o and_o if_o this_o seem_v to_o hard_o for_o we_o to_o do_v be_v not_o job_n a_o man_n subject_n to_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v and_o yet_o do_v god_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o they_o then_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o fight_v that_o can_v be_v do_v without_o great_a enforcement_n it_o be_v true_a but_o we_o must_v force_v ourselves_o howbeit_o not_o upon_o trust_n of_o our_o own_o strength_n but_o with_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n to_o bring_v we_o thither_o as_o we_o see_v his_o word_n lead_v we_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o if_o i_o look_v unto_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o my_o nature_n draw_v quite_o backward_o for_o i_o shall_v be_v angry_a when_o a_o man_n hurt_v i_o or_o have_v practise_v any_o evil_n against_o i_o and_o although_o i_o love_v uprightness_n and_o good_a deal_n yet_o shall_v i_o not_o fail_v to_o be_v inflame_v with_o harteburning_a and_o to_o have_v some_o desire_n of_o revenge_n against_o such_o as_o have_v go_v about_o to_o do_v i_o harm_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o see_v here_o that_o jesus_n christ_n condemn_v i_o and_o pronounce_v this_o dreadful_a sentence_n that_o god_n will_v shake_v i_o off_o and_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v raze_v out_o of_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n if_o i_o love_v not_o my_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o see_v i_o know_v not_o only_o the_o infirmity_n but_o also_o the_o frowardness_n of_o my_o nature_n it_o behove_v i_o too_o pray_v god_n too_o correct_v these_o vice_n in_o i_o i_o know_v that_o i_o have_v nothing_o but_o

that_o god_n command_v i_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o i_o be_o a_o man_n i_o feel_v my_o own_o infirmity_n yea_o and_o i_o be_o disease_v behold_v the_o physician_n offer_v himseife_a and_o come_v

mind_v the_o request_n that_o we_o make_v when_o we_o desire_v god_n too_o forgive_v we_o our_o fault_n as_o we_o forgive_v they_o that_o offend_v we_o for_o there_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v cite_v before_o god_n according_a as_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o come_v to_o present_v ourselves_o before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n how_o when_o i_o protest_v unto_o my_o god_n that_o i_o forgive_v

not_o my_o prayer_n be_v turn_v into_o curse_v if_o we_o think_v well_o upon_o this_o sure_o we_o may_v break_v the_o wicked_a stomach_n that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o at_o length_n god_n shall_v have_v the_o victory_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o even_o to_o love_v they_o that_o hate_v we_o but_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o know_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o let_v we_o go_v to_o it_o by_o degree_n as_o the_o scripture_n lead_v we_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o we_o shall_v be_v stir_v up_o when_o a_o man_n do_v we_o any_o wrong_n well_o there_o be_v one_o sin_n already_o if_o we_o do_v but_o grudge_v against_o he_o in_o our_o heart_n according_a as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v we_o have_v already_o gain_v the_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o his_o express_v hereof_o be_v by_o a_o similitude_n which_o he_o borrow_v of_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v in_o his_o time_n therefore_o to_o make_v comparison_n of_o the_o three_o degree_n of_o offend_v in_o this_o behalf_n he_o say_v that_o the_o first_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v by_o judgement_n but_o when_o we_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o utter_v any_o word_n of_o spite_n or_o disdain_v against_o he_o that_o have_v offend_v we_o then_o be_v there_o a_o condemnation_n yet_o grievouser_n and_o more_o to_o be_v fear_v as_o if_o we_o be_v condemn_v by_o a_o counsel_n or_o consistory_n somewhat_o more_o solemn_o assemble_v according_a as_o jesus_n christ_n allege_v that_o similitude_n the_o three_o degree_n be_v when_o we_o come_v to_o open_v rage_v in_o word_n through_o choler_n and_o this_o offence_n deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o chief_a court_n of_o justice_n but_o jesus_n christ_n leving_fw-mi the_o similitude_n say_v plain_o that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v worthy_a of_o hell_n fire_n he_o mean_v that_o all_o three_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o show_v the_o degree_n of_o the_o evil_n then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o sudden_a choler_n although_o the_o same_o settle_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n yet_o you_o see_v he_o have_v already_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n before_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o we_o foster_v deadly_a hatred_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v full_a of_o venomous_a rancour_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o any_o wrong_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o correct_v this_o vice_n in_o we_o and_o understand_v that_o if_o any_o evil_a word_n have_v escape_v our_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o to_o fall_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o sun_n go_v not_o down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n jest_n you_o give_v possession_n unto_o satan_n hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o if_o we_o have_v be_v move_v to_o any_o displeasure_n the_o same_o must_v pass_v away_o and_o the_o sun_n must_v not_o go_v down_o upon_o it_o so_o as_o our_o anger_n shall_v multiply_v in_o itself_o and_o why_o the_o punishment_n that_o saint_n paul_n add_v aught_o to_o touch_v we_o near_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v to_o give_v satan_n possession_n of_o we_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v of_o any_o of_o we_o whether_o we_o will_v that_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v the_o mastery_n of_o we_o and_o reign_v over_o we_o and_o be_v our_o prince_n we_o will_v utter_o abhor_v it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o do_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o bear_v any_o evil_a will_n against_o our_o enemy_n we_o can_v make_v god_n a_o liar_n nor_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o s._n paul_n but_o when_o we_o know_v this_o let_v we_o pass_v further_o and_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o yonder_o same_o be_v a_o creature_n of_o god_n and_o i_o see_v he_o be_v a_o wretched_a damn_a soul_n what_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v then_o but_o only_o pray_v god_n for_o such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o way_n too_o destruction_n and_o again_o have_v not_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n redeem_v man_n soul_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o death_n come_v not_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n nevertheless_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o too_o discern_v between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o sinner_n that_n go_v to_o destruction_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v to_o our_o knowledge_n suffer_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n as_o well_o for_o they_o as_o for_o we_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o labour_v to_o bring_v every_o man_n too_o salvation_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v available_a to_o they_o and_o furthermore_o if_o this_o be_v to_o heavy_a for_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o comparison_n there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o we_o for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o offend_v not_o god_n daily_a and_o yet_o nevertheless_o assoon_o as_o we_o return_v unto_o he_o he_o give_v we_o liberty_n too_o come_v familiar_o thither_o without_o doubt_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v

gather_v of_o this_o sentence_n where_o we_o hear_v job_n protest_v that_o he_o not_o only_o forbear_v all_o revenge_n but_o also_o be_v sorry_a when_o any_o evil_n happen_v to_o his_o enemy_n and_o his_o heart_n rejoice_v not_o when_o he_o hear_v speak_v of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v rejoice_v at_o the_o confuzion_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o be_v true_a howbeit_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v such_o a_o gladness_n as_o god_n allow_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v scour_v &_o cleanse_v from_o all_o privy_a malice_n &_o all_o regard_n of_o our_o own_o person_n when_o god_n child_n rejoice_v at_o the_o adversity_n of_o the_o wicked_a it_o must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a and_o yet_o therewithal_o they_o must_v also_o take_v warning_n to_o walk_v in_o fear_n
the_o order_n of_o nature_n but_o when_o we_o have_v once_o feel_v well_o the_o grievousness_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o afterward_o be_v able_a too_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n

to_o help_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o this_o then_o be_v it_o time_n to_o look_v towards_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n this_o then_o be_v a_o inferior_a thing_n to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v declare_v afore_o and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o look_v towards_o man_n we_o must_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v aside_o from_o goodness_n i_o have_v be_v a_o wretched_a man_n here_o then_o it_o be_v show_v we_o after_o what_o sort_n god_n ought_v too_o be_v glorify_v by_o we_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o only_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o iniquity_n in_o we_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o roman_n for_o when_o he_o say_v there_o that_o god_n be_v justify_v he_o mean_v that_o we_o ourselves_o must_v first_o be_v condemn_v if_o god_n shall_v be_v count_v righteous_a and_o we_o righteous_a to_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o then_o shall_v he_o have_v a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v common_a and_o intermeddle_v with_o man_n but_o when_o we_o be_v utter_o convict_v and_o no_o man_n dare_v exempt_v himself_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o

all_o righteousness_n that_o be_v the_o right_a acknowledge_v of_o he_o to_o be_v righteous_a wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o do_v as_o be_v show_v we_o here_o for_o it_o be_v a_o general_a

show_v we_o in_o forgive_a we_o our_o sin_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o make_v this_o confession_n with_o the_o mouth_n to_o our_o salvation_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o ten_o too_o the_o roman_n that_o our_o beleve_v with_o the_o heart_n make_v we_o righteous_a and_o our_o confess_v with_o the_o mouth_n make_v we_o safe_a and_o saint_n paul_n be_v a_o good_a and_o

then_o be_v too_o our_o salvation_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v so_o believe_v with_o our_o heart_n unto_o righteousness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o these_o two_o thing_n must_v be_v match_v together_o according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v inseparable_a now_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n and_o it_o have_v not_o profit_v i_o the_o holy_a ghost_n show_v we_o that_o our_o confession_n must_v be_v pure_a and_o free-hearted_a and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o speak_v by_o half_n as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v which_o say_v oh_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o the_o world_n be_v sinful_a and_o all_o man_n be_v faulty_a and_o so_o too_o their_o own_o seem_n they_o be_v well_o quit_v sure_o there_o be_v no_o dally_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o god_n but_o we_o must_v set_v forth_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o uttermost_a that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o must_v feel_v they_o to_o be_v a_o intolerable_a burden_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v that_o daniel_n do_v say_v lord_n we_o have_v sin_v be_v that_o all_o no_o but_o he_o add_v we_o have_v deal_v wicked_o we_o have_v traitorous_o transgress_v the_o law_n and_o we_o have_v be_v wilful_a and_o froward_a for_o what_o cause_n do_v daniel_n pack_v so_o many_o word_n together_o and_o make_v such_o a_o heap_n of_o they_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o such_o as_o will_v discharge_v themselves_o so_o light_o too_o godward_o with_o speak_v but_o a_o word_n of_o their_o fault_n and_o away_o be_v but_o hypocrite_n and_o never_o feel_v what_o their_o offence_n be_v so_o they_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o this_o text_n where_o eliu_n after_o he_o have_v show_v that_o the_o sinner_n which_o be_v quit_v at_o god_n hand_n will_v confess_v his_o fault_n say_v not_o only_o i_o have_v sin_v but_o also_o add_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n wherein_o he_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o stick_v to_o confess_v his_o debt_n full_o and_o to_o say_v i_o have_v be_v utter_o froward_a and_o malicious_a i_o have_v be_v give_v to_o all_o wickedness_n i_o have_v stray_v 〈◊〉_d &_o clean_a

must_v deal_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o for_o countenance_v sake_n but_o so_o as_o the_o heart_n do_v speak_v before_o god_n and_o then_o the_o mouth_n also_o agree_v with_o it_o too_o confess_v before_o man_n what_o we_o have_v feel_v within_o ourselves_o and_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o but_o now_o let_v we_o apply_v this_o too_o ourselves_o &_o

must_v inspire_v we_o with_o his_o grace_n and_o enlighten_v our_o heart_n which_o be_v full_a of_o rebelliousness_n then_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v reform_v we_o sure_o we_o will_v

forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o although_o the_o sea_n rush_v forth_o with_o such_o headiness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o hold_v it_o back_o as_o a_o man_n shall_v wield_v a_o little_a babe_n

meet_v that_o god_n shall_v let_v they_o live_v long_o and_o make_v they_o too_o profit_v in_o knowledge_n by_o long_a experience_n in_o the_o world_n lo_o why_o job_n live_v long_a time_n now_o adays_o our_o life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o may_v run_v to_o the_o heritage_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v then_o but_o in_o shadow_n be_v too_o be_v confirm_v by_o visible_a benefit_n but_o now_o we_o have_v the_o substance_n the_o shadow_n and_o figure_n be_v past_a we_o have_v the_o body_n of_o they_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n give_v we_o and_o refer_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o guide_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o the_o life_n that_o we_o have_v live_v whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a man_n and_o full_a satisfy_v with_o day_n it_o be_v to_o express_v the_o temporal_a blessing_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v neither_o job_n nor_o abraham_n nor_o such_o other_o like_o will_v ever_o have_v be_v satisfy_v with_o live_v in_o this_o world_n if_o they_o have_v not_o amed_z at_o a_o better_a and_o more_o excellent_a end_n you_o see_v they_o how_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v prolong_v their_o life_n to_o the_o end_n to_o give_v they_o the_o long_a experience_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o now_o so_o requisite_a for_o we_o which_o have_v a_o more_o large_a declaration_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n towards_o we_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o our_o life_n and_o too_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o die_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v go_v hence_o with_o a_o glad_a heart_n &_o not_o with_o gnash_v of_o our_o tooth_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n yet_o will_v they_o fain_o tarry_v here_o beneath_o still_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o hope_v but_o of_o this_o present_a life_n &_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o death_n dispatch_v all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v never_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n contrariwise_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n be_v wont_a to_o confirm_v their_o faith_n by_o the_o length_n of_o the_o life_n which_o god_n give_v they_o and_o therewithal_o dispose_v themselves_o to_o depart_v whensoever_o god_n list_v to_o take_v they_o hence_o too_o himself_o and_o what_o ought_v we_o on_o our_o side_n to_o do_v nowadays_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o live_v long_o to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o mercy_n and_o to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n for_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v die_v and_o be_v rise_v again_o we_o need_v no_o long_a time_n in_o this_o world_n to_o know_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o as_o soon_o he_o give_v we_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o gospel_n let_v we_o always_o be_v ready_a too_o die_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o our_o father_n both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v always_o be_v satisfy_v with_o life_n see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o so_o good_a a_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v not_o desire_v too_o have_v our_o life_n prolong_v here_o to_o the_o end_n to_o have_v a_o large_a confirmation_n thereof_o wherefore_o let_v we_o continual_o pray_v he_o that_o have_v guide_v we_o continual_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o will_v draw_v we_o hence_o too_o himself_o and_o that_o we_o may_v come_v thither_o full_o satisfy_v because_o he_o have_v nourish_v and_o maintain_v we_o and_o show_v we_o that_o our_o true_a life_n and_o everlasting_a happiness_n be_v prepare_v for_o we_o above_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o

too_o discharge_v ourselves_o of_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n it_o may_v please_v he_o too_o aid_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o too_o bear_v with_o our_o infirmity_n and_o
