to_o be_v merry_a how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n curse_v the_o laughter_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v because_o man_n besotte_v themselves_o in_o their_o

this_o lesson_n of_o be_v merry_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v of_o great_a importance_n and_o it_o can_v be_v do_v without_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o

and_o that_o from_o thence_o forth_o he_o continue_v his_o goodness_n always_o towards_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n of_o his_o own_o goodness_n choose_v we_o after_o a_o secret_a

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

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

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

that_o although_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v bend_v against_o we_o yet_o consider_v how_o we_o have_v find_v he_o so_o good_a and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o love_n after_o so_o many_o sort_n we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o even_o to_o the_o end_n for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n job_n offend_v not_o

and_o see_v i_o have_v he_o my_o enemy_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o i_o job_n then_o be_v torment_v with_o that_o temptation_n which_o be_v evil_a because_o he_o mark_v how_o god_n be_v so_o

it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o he_o do_v not_o alone_o doubt_n but_o also_o be_v so_o carry_v away_o because_o he_o be_v press_v by_o god_n hand_n if_o job_n have_v be_v demand_v whether_o man_n

that_o our_o misery_n shall_v not_o endure_v for_o ever_o but_o that_o god_n will_v remedy_v they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o raze_v they_o out_o of_o their_o grave_n which_o be_v

to_o wait_v for_o the_o day_n of_o my_o change_n see_v then_o in_o effect_n after_o what_o sort_n job_n understand_v that_o say_n he_o rather_o reason_v with_o himself_o and_o with_o god_n whether_o a_o man_n shall_v return_v to_o life_n again_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o see_v myself_o here_o in_o so_o â–ª_o wretched_a state_n as_o too_o my_o own_o seem_n i_o must_v

and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o repress_v our_o own_o naughtiness_n why_o so_o for_o we_o see_v what_o the_o inordinateness_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v if_o we_o give_v our_o affection_n head_n

we_o do_v be_v it_o not_o that_o god_n restrain_v we_o by_o give_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o subdue_v our_o passion_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o first_o that_z when_o man_n suffer_v themselves_o

it_o be_v that_o job_n use_v these_o word_n to_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o overhygh_a power_n in_o god_n and_o that_o no_o mortal_a man_n dare_v encounter_v it_o except_o god_n will_v

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

his_o judgement_n when_o he_o shall_v think_v good_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o now_o he_o add_v immediate_o that_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o death_n

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 god_n be_v idle_a when_o he_o overpass_v thing_n &_o put_v not_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o punish_v of_o the_o wicked_a and_o why_o for_o he_o have_v his_o convenient_a season_n then_o have_v god_n wrath_n a_o certain_a determinate_a day_n which_o we_o know_v not_o of_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a in_o prosperity_n and_o in_o their_o triumph_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o no_o

i_o say_v let_v we_o tarry_v patient_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n learn_v hereby_o not_o too_o fall_v asleep_a if_o god_n spare_v we_o and_o if_o our_o lord_n make_v we_o not_o to_o feel_v this_o

not_o a_o more_o dangerous_a deceit_n than_o when_o man_n sleep_v sape_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o think_v not_o upon_o god_n wrath_n under_o colour_n that_o he_o bear_v with_o they_o for_o then_o do_v they_o gather_v a_o great_a heap_n of_o wrath_n to_o themselves_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o too_o flatter_v ourselves_o at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v in_o rest_n but_o let_v we_o daily_o think_v upon_o the_o day_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o prevent_v it_o namely_o by_o tremble_v continual_o before_o our_o judge_n

never_o say_v so_o much_o as_o black_a be_v our_o eye_n for_o it_o but_o in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v come_v before_o the_o judge_n &_o when_o we_o come_v thither_o this_o forbear_n at_o man_n hand_n will_v turn_v too_o our_o double_a condemnation_n that_o be_v the_o counsel_n which_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n when_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v express_v here_o two_o time_n for_o man_n oftentimes_o discharge_v not_o their_o duty_n special_o those_o i_o meene_z that_o be_v in_o office_n to_o do_v it_o we_o never_o pass_v of_o admonish_v such_o as_o do_v amiss_o nor_o of_o

be_v bear_v with_o as_o those_o that_o have_v bear_v with_o they_o must_v come_v to_o account_v so_o then_o the_o name_n of_o god_n together_o with_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n aught_o to_o weigh_v great_o with_o we_o sith_o we_o know_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n say_v that_o such_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o wicked_a yea_o even_o at_o gods-bande_n for_o it_o serve_v to_o wipe_v away_o all_o these_o vain_a hope_n which_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o conceive_v when_o man_n give_v we_o their_o hand_n and_o either_o wink_n at_o our_o sin_n or_o else_o pardon_v they_o let_v we_o not_o trust_v upon_o that_o for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o double_a confusion_n to_o we_o afore_o god_n and_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o although_o we_o be_v escape_v from_o the_o world_n yet_o must_v god_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n now_o whereas_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o portion_n and_o heritage_n that_o also_o serve_v to_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n that_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v the_o wicked_a unpunished_a and_o like_v as_o every_o man_n call_v that_o thing_n his_o portion_n which_o be_v

what_o it_o be_v too_o fear_v god_n as_o have_v be_v say_v already_o till_o he_o drive_v we_o too_o it_o by_o force_n you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n become_v stout_a like_o murderer_n until_o god_n

the_o same_o fall_v not_o out_o always_o and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o naughtypack_n that_o cease_v not_o to_o gnash_v their_o tooth_n against_o god_n even_o when_o he_o

their_o heart_n any_o whit_n soften_v by_o it_o no_o they_o become_v more_o spiteful_a and_o wicked_a than_o they_o be_v afore_o insomuch_o as_o thereupon_o they_o fall_v to_o kick_v and_o spurn_v against_o god_n like_o resty_a jade_n see_v then_o that_o affliction_n can_v always_o tame_v and_o subdue_v man_n but_o that_o they_o take_v the_o bit_n in_o their_o tooth_n to_o run_v a_o head_n against_o that_o way_n which_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o go_v let_v we_o learn_v thereby_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n say_v here_o that_o he_o be_v afraid_a because_o

that_o man_n be_v handle_v here_o according_a to_o their_o desert_n and_o that_o god_n do_v evermore_o show_v himself_o good_a love_a and_o merciful_a towards_o such_o as_o seek_v he_o and_o love_v

out_o of_o the_o good_a way_n but_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a namely_o that_o the_o good_a be_v afflict_v and_o seem_v to_o have_v god_n their_o enemy_n because_o he_o deal_v exceed_v rough_o with_o

that_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o by_o that_o mean_a we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o god_n do_v not_o execute_v his_o justice_n full_o here_o but_o reserve_v as_o well_o the_o reward_n of_o

the_o chief_a point_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o stick_v unto_o namely_o that_o even_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o trouble_n of_o this_o world_n we_o ought_v nevertheless_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n suffer_v not_o thing_n to_o run_v too_o havoc_n nor_o hold_v with_o the_o wicked_a although_o he_o spare_v they_o and_o forbear_v to_o punish_v they_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o be_v they_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

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

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

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

therefore_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o eliu_n do_v falsify_v the_o word_n that_o he_o have_v hear_v and_o apply_v they_o to_o a_o contrary_a meaning_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n blame_v he_o

that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_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

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

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

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

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

say_v it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o child_n have_v do_v amiss_o and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o for_o now_o adays_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v admonish_v and_o to_o be_v tell_v of_o their_o fault_n although_o their_o fault_n be_v notorious_a in_o all_o respect_n yet_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o will_v find_v some_o shift_n or_o other_o to_o excuse_v and_o hide_v themselves_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v rebuke_v they_o that_o do_v amiss_o he_o must_v prepare_v himself_o to_o sustain_v mortal_a war_n at_o their_o hand_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o deadly_a foe_n to_o they_o for_o procure_v their_o welfare_n but_o if_o man_n can_v abide_v to_o be_v rebuke_v when_o they_o do_v amiss_o how_o will_v they_o of_o themselves_o and_o of_o their_o own_o good_a will_n blame_v themselves_o as_o worthy_a to_o be_v reprove_v and_o say_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o i_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o

to_o make_v his_o own_o accusation_n of_o his_o own_o good_a will._n and_o upon_o far_o strong_a reason_n i_o say_v that_o when_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o provoke_v we_o so_o as_o we_o have_v other_o to_o exhort_v we_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n if_o we_o be_v stubborn_a against_o god_n upon_o his_o send_n of_o such_o messenger_n unto_o we_o and_o suffer_v not_o ourselves_o to_o be_v reprove_v by_o they_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o set_v not_o ourselves_o against_o mortal_a man_n but_o that_o we_o bend_v ourselves_o against_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n who_o will_v fain_o pluck_v we_o back_o to_o salvation_n when_o he_o see_v we_o ready_a to_o throw_v ourselves_o headlong_o into_o everlasting_a destruction_n mark_v this_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o by_o the_o way_n we_o see_v that_o job_n take_v not_o think_v only_o for_o himself_o but_o also_o for_o those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o his_o charge_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v say_v but_o now_o adays_o man_n do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n for_o if_o a_o man_n can_v excuse_v himself_o by_o and_o by_o he_o take_v covert_a as_o fast_o as_o he_o may_v have_v a_o man_n do_v this_o or_o that_o he_o will_v strait_n make_v a_o lease_v to_o discharge_v himself_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v acknow_v of_o his_o fault_n if_o he_o have_v either_o child_n or_o servant_n he_o will_v seek_v to_o discharge_v himself_o that_o way_n say_v yea_o marry_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v but_o it_o be_v not_o long_o of_o i_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o most_o part_n of_o

which_o we_o ought_v to_o redress_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v behold_v what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o and_o by_o the_o way_n it_o may_v be_v demand_v whither_o job_n ought_v to_o have_v torment_v himself_o so_o in_o vain_a so_o long_o as_o the_o fault_n be_v unknown_a to_o he_o for_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v sufficient_a if_o a_o man_n humble_v himself_o afore_o god_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o perceive_v that_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o as_o for_o to_o imagine_v it_o may_v be_v that_o i_o have_v do_v amiss_o it_o may_v be_v that_o i_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o fault_n it_o seem_v that_o that_o be_v more_o than_o need_v first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o solomon_n say_v in_o his_o xxviij_o chapter_n right_o happy_a say_v he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o

say_v he_o shall_v run_v headlong_o into_o all_o evil_a in_o say_v so_o solomon_n show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v walk_v heedful_o look_v still_o afore_o we_o whither_o we_o may_v have_v commit_v any_o

our_o fear_n for_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v must_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o we_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o walk_v aright_o in_o all_o our_o way_n &_o that_o we_o have_v the_o forecast_n and_o skill_n to_o ask_v counsel_n at_o the_o lord_n mouth_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n command_v we_o and_o to_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v give_v we_o wisdom_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o swerve_v one_o way_n or_o other_o after_o what_o manner_n soever_o it_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v fear_v for_o the_o time_n come_v our_o fear_n for_o that_o which_o be_v past_a aught_o to_o be_v this_o that_o although_o we_o know_v not_o the_o fault_n which_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o that_o there_o have_v escape_v many_o vice_n overthwart_v our_o eye_n without_o perceive_v they_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o bethink_v we_o thereof_o and_o to_o mislike_v of_o it_o and_o to_o condemn_v ourselves_o for_o the_o same_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v afraid_a both_o for_o the_o time_n past_a and_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o the_o say_a sentence_n when_o job_n say_v it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o child_n have_v sin_v notwithstanding_o that_o they_o mean_v not_o so_o to_o do_v and_o the_o care_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v to_o provoke_v ourselves_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v pardon_v our_o offence_n to_o the_o end_n he_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o

to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v know_v what_o a_o fault_n it_o be_v not_o to_o bliss_n god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o to_o yield_v he_o the_o praise_n which_o he_o have_v deserve_v at_o our_o

you_o see_v now_o wherefore_o the_o wo●●_n bliss_n god_n have_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o contrary_a use_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o be_v mean_v when_o in_o short_a word_n it_o be_v say_v that_o

for_o the_o principal_a point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v be_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o glorify_v god_n in_o all_o our_o life_n and_o hereby_o we_o see_v also_o to_o what_o end_n
we_o be_v create_v and_o wherefore_o we_o live_v therefore_o if_o we_o be_v desirous_a to_o have_v our_o life_n allowable_a before_o god_n we_o must_v always_o be_o at_o this_o mark_n namely_o that_o

asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v rude_a &_o gross_a the_o scripture_n mean_v to_o liken_v god_n to_o earthly_a prince_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o a_o more_o homely_a &_o familiar_a manner_n we_o may_v know_v how_o the_o angel_n do_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o their_o own_o proper_a move_n but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o command_v they_o who_o have_v all_o dominion_n over_o they_o and_o they_o

to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v spread_v out_o overall_a we_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_n by_o mean_a of_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o govern_n of_o worldly_a matter_n that_o all_o of_o they_o come_v to_o account_v afore_o he_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o nothing_o can_v escape_v he_o and_o furthermore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n also_o come_v among_o the_o angel_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o wound_v himself_o in_o thither_o as_o some_o have_v understand_v it_o that_o he_o crowd_v himself_o into_o the_o company_n to_o make_v himself_o a_o good_a page_n but_o contrariwise_o the_o holy_a ghostment_n to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o not_o only_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n which_o obey_v god_n willing_o and_o be_v whole_o incline_v &_o give_v that_o way_n do_v yield_v account_n unto_o he_o but_o also_o the_o
place_n i_o will_v not_o come_v there_o and_o why_o then_o be_v not_o we_o careful_a see_v that_o god_n himself_o show_v we_o that_o all_o the_o vice_n in_o the_o world_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o deadly_a plague_n and_o sith_o that_o god_n have_v give_v job_n the_o grace_n to_o withhold_v himself_o so_o from_o evil_n let_v we_o not_o doubt_n but_o he_o will_v assist_v we_o at_o this_o day_n with_o like_a power_n but_o final_o and_o in_o conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n mean_v as_o it_o be_v to_o have_v spite_v god_n say_v that_o job_n serve_v he_o not_o for_o naught_o for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o have_v bliss_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a even_o to_o that_o day_n that_o he_o prosper_v in_o all_o his_o affair_n so_o then_o say_v satan_n job_n may_v be_v a_o hypocrite_n for_o aught_o that_o be_v know_v but_o if_o thou_o touch_v he_o with_o thine_o hand_n thou_o shall_v see_v what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o we_o see_v here_o how_o the_o devil_n labour_v on_o all_o side_n to_o overwhelm_v we_o &_o when_o he_o see_v that_o he_o get_v nothing_o by_o one_o point_n he_o devise_v &_o practise_v some_o other_o new_a trick_n for_o the_o wile_n be_v infinite_a which_o he_o forge_v in_o his_o shop_n &_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o the_o more_o to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n it_o be_v certain_a as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o prosperity_n corrupt_v man_n more_o than_o all_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o world_n do_v for_o riches_n be_v willing_o accompany_v with_o pride_n pomp_n contempt_n of_o god_n cruelty_n craftiness_n &_o all_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o they_o bring_v with_o they_o all_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o a_o man_n become_v altogether_o beastly_a but_o satan_n come_v so_o far_o short_a of_o win_v any_o thing_n at_o job_n hand_n by_o this_o mean_n that_o he_o turn_v himself_o to_o the_o other_o side_n and_o make_v sure_a that_o he_o may_v be_v try_v by_o affliction_n and_o by_o the_o way_n we_o

counsel_v by_o the_o devil_n but_o this_o be_v say_v express_o unto_o we_o to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n send_v poverty_n upon_o we_o or_o afflict_v we_o he_o do_v it_o partly_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v bethink_v ourselves_o and_o not_o be_v puff_v up_o any_o more_o for_o prosperity_n than_o for_o adversity_n &_o partly_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o according_a to_o the_o necessity_n that_o oppress_v we_o herewithal_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v always_o at_o our_o elbow_n to_o overthrow_v we_o if_o he_o can_v so_o as_o if_o we_o escape_v from_o he_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o stir_v up_o a_o new_a temptation_n again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o be_v short_a that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o one_o word_n in_o zacharie_n be_v declare_v to_o we_o here_o at_o large_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o satan_n be_v the_o accuser_n &_o the_o adversary_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o in_o the_o

we_o for_o patient_a in_o our_o affliction_n we_o common_o say_v a_o man_n be_v patient_a although_o he_o have_v no_o point_n of_o true_a patience_n in_o he_o for_o whosoever_o suffer_v adversity_n he_o do_v man_n call_v patient_a but_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o hold_v this_o for_o a_o rule_n that_o to_o be_v patient_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o moderate_v our_o sorrow_n if_o there_o be_v any_o adversity_n it_o must_v be_v assuage_v by_o consider_v that_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o procure_v our_o welfare_n continual_o and_o that_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n he_o shall_v govern_v we_o according_a to_o his_o good_a
himself_o into_o overgreat_a heaviness_n but_o all_o his_o do_n tend_v to_o humility_n like_v as_o also_o the_o same_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n among_o the_o man_n of_o old_a time_n for_o if_o god_n send_v any_o plague_n or_o war_n among_o they_o they_o clothe_v themselves_o with_o sackcloth_n and_o cast_v dust_n upon_o their_o head_n why_o do_v they_o so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o feed_v the_o evil_a sorrow_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v and_o say_v that_o it_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o world_n for_o we_o must_v eschew_v that_o fault_n but_o for_o another_o sorrow_n which_o he_o affirm_v to_o be_v godly_a which_o be_v when_o man_n acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n do_v come_v before_o their_o judge_n and_o there_o condemn_v themselves_o and_o show_v that_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v confound_v for_o he_o that_o clothe_v himself_o with_o sackcloth_n and_o cast_v dust_n upon_o his_o head_n witness_v that_o he_o have_v not_o any_o

that_o the_o word_n which_o be_v set_v here_o signify_v too_o incline_v or_o bow_v down_o a_o man_n self_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o he_o humble_v himself_o before_o god_n to_o do_v

on_o all_o side_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o walk_v as_o it_o become_v we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o endeavour_n to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o from_o evil_a yea_o even_o from_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v

we_o we_o think_v he_o have_v no_o measure_n with_o he_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v at_o what_o point_n job_n be_v also_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o the_o appoint_v of_o the_o time_n must_v be_v

be_v great_o too_o the_o deface_a of_o my_o glory_n and_o majesty_n you_o see_v then_o what_o job_n chief_a meaning_n be_v furthermore_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o this_o present_a sentence_n

infinite_a goodness_n in_o that_o he_o think_v so_o upon_o his_o creature_n and_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v too_o have_v a_o care_n of_o they_o too_o guide_v they_o and_o to_o govern_v they_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o man_n in_o himself_o you_o shall_v see_v so_o poor_a a_o creature_n as_o it_o may_v well_o seem_v that_o god_n ought_v not_o too_o have_v respect_n of_o he_o or_o too_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o he_o now_o then_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n not_o only_o vouchsafe_v too_o govern_v man_n but_o also_o make_v they_o lord_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n according_a as_o it_o be_v

have_v so_o dispose_v all_o thing_n to_o serve_v we_o and_o to_o succour_v our_o necessity_n it_o seem_v that_o god_n bear_v we_o such_o a_o love_n as_o he_o put_v all_o that_o he_o have_v under_o our_o hand_n say_v i_o withhold_v nothing_o from_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wretchedness_n and_o poorness_n of_o man_n yield_v a_o great_a beauty_n to_o god_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n than_o if_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o that_o can_v provoke_v he_o to_o do_v we_o good_a thus_o you_o see_v david_n plain_n mean_v and_o this_o thing_n be_v special_o fulfil_v in_o

nevertheless_o the_o doctrine_n be_v in_o itself_o both_o holy_a &_o profitable_a so_o if_o we_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v speak_v here_o we_o shall_v find_v good_a sentence_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o baldad_n pretend_v be_v to_o maintain_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o punish_v man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o

for_o he_o consider_v his_o feebleness_n &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o glorify_v god_n still_o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o baldad_n have_v a_o evil_a case_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o here_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a &_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o because_o it_o be_v fit_v for_o our_o edification_n like_a as_o when_o he_o say_v that_o such_o as_o plead_v after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n do_v turmoil_n themselves_o like_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o air_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v leave_v

they_o can_v not_o reach_v so_o high_a with_o they_o as_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n show_v itself_o therein_o and_o so_o in_o this_o sentence_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o that_o when_o we_o

and_o man_n can_v abate_v his_o majesty_n though_o they_o rail_v at_o it_o with_o full_a mouth_n all_o be_v but_o wind_n and_o vanity_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n as_o touch_v the_o

their_o last_o state_n be_v not_o better_o for_o they_o for_o his_o plant_n of_o we_o in_o his_o church_n be_v too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v live_v in_o his_o kingdom_n everlasting_o without_o

they_o be_v so_o swell_v that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o burst_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v well_o one_o kind_n of_o rottenness_n afterward_o come_v the_o frost_n as_o it_o be_v to_o sear_v they_o
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

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 judgement_n but_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o whensoever_o he_o use_v any_o manner_n of_o deal_n that_o shall_v be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o our_o fancy_n &_o we_o must_v not_o presume_v to_o murmur_v against_o
he_o for_o it_o but_o we_o must_v reverence_v these_o great_a secret_n which_o be_v far_o above_o our_o capacity_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o may_v comprehend_v that_o which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o as_o now_o you_o see_v then_o what_o job_n meaning_n be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v torment_v with_o a_o excessive_a passion_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v hereby_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n &_o that_o although_o he_o deal_v after_o such_o a_o strange_a fashion_n with_o we_o as_o we_o perceive_v neither_o equity_n nor_o uprightness_n in_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v cast_v down_o our_o eye_n but_o if_o we_o have_v any_o inclination_n too_o murmur_v against_o god_n when_o he_o do_v thing_n that_o we_o comprehend_v not_o by_o our_o own_o reason_n the_o same_o will_v then_o special_o show_v itself_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o then_o be_v we_o spur_v to_o repine_v against_o he_o say_v what_o mean_v this_o where_o be_o i_o why_o do_v not_o god_n pity_v i_o lo_o how_o man_n wax_v wood_n when_o god_n handle_v they_o otherwise_o than_o they_o like_v of_o but_o yet_o so_o be_v it_o that_o job_n fight_v against_o such_o temptation_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o job_n know_v how_o god_n be_v righteous_a &_o be_v full_o persuade_v thereof_o in_o general_a but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o encounter_n &_o that_o the_o mischief_n press_v he_o then_o be_v he_o drive_v back_o and_o enforce_v to_o chafe_v against_o god_n furthermore_o there_o be_v this_o restingpoynt_n whereof_o i_o have_v speak_v that_o such_o as_o will_v comfort_v themselves_o in_o their_o affliction_n must_v always_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o rule_n that_o job_n take_v here_o which_o be_v i_o be_o not_o scourge_v at_o god_n hand_n because_o i_o be_o a_o evil_a doer_n for_o god_n punish_v not_o man_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n it_o become_v we_o not_o to_o task_n he_o so_o to_o our_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o proceed_v for_o he_o have_v judgement_n that_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o you_o see_v then_o how_o job_n speak_v and_o to_o confirm_v his_o matter_n he_o say_v we_o see_v the_o good_a pine_n away_o &_o god_n help_v they_o not_o he_o suffer_v they_o to_o continue_v in_o anguish_n a_o year_n or_o two_o yea_o or_o all_o the_o time_n of_o their_o life_n he_o make_v no_o countenance_n of_o come_v towards_o they_o they_o be_v as_o poor_a forlorn_a folk_n now_o if_o god_n leave_v good_a folk_n after_o that_o manner_n in_o their_o necessity_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o whip_n strike_v out_o of_o hand_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v hasty_a in_o punish_v man_n offence_n and_o sin_n we_o see_v the_o clean_a contrary_n and_o hereupon_o we_o gather_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v escape_v from_o god_n hand_n when_o have_v do_v our_o neighbour_n a_o shrewd_a turn_n we_o be_v at_o our_o ease_n for_o a_o time_n let_v we_o beware_v we_o flatter_v not_o our_o self_n when_o god_n bear_v with_o we_o but_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o mean_v to_o draw_v we_o to_o repentance_n abuse_v thou_o god_n patience_n say_v s._n paul_n speak_v to_o such_o as_o be_v wilful_a in_o their_o naughtiness_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n upon_o such_o as_o return_v unto_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o fault_n but_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o will_v cast_v away_o all_o those_o who_o he_o scourge_v in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o god_n punish_v not_o man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o be_v therefore_o acquit_v and_o shall_v never_o be_v call_v to_o account_v nay_o rather_o it_o be_v because_o god_n give_v we_o respite_n here_o to_o return_v to_o his_o mercy_n and_o too_o beseech_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n therefore_o if_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a triumph_n and_o scoff_n at_o god_n and_o yet_o that_o they_o be_v not_o press_v by_o his_o hand_n let_v we_o not_o be_v misgreeve_v thereat_o as_o though_o god_n have_v give_v up_o his_o office_n and_o be_v no_o long_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o wait_v till_o the_o time_n be_v come_v our_o lord_n may_v well_o delay_v the_o correction_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o send_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o time_n may_v seem_v long_o unto_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o restrain_v our_o mind_n and_o hold_v they_o short_a know_v that_o god_n will_v not_o punish_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n present_o and_o he_o know_v why_o there_o be_v reason_n good_a enough_o why_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o for_o his_o meaning_n

there_o be_v so_o great_a store_n of_o mingle_n so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n endure_v it_o be_v because_o god_n intend_v to_o exercise_v we_o in_o faith_n and_o hope_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v wait_v for_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n at_o which_o time_n he_o shall_v set_v up_o all_o thing_n full_a and_o perfect_o which_o be_v now_o so_o intermeddle_v as_o touch_v that_o

the_o affliction_n of_o good_a man_n we_o know_v what_o love_n he_o bear_v we_o he_o can_v express_v sufficient_o how_o tender_a the_o same_o be_v but_o in_o say_v that_o we_o be_v unto_o he_o as_o

ourselves_o that_o god_n do_v nothing_o but_o laugh_v at_o we_o in_o heaven_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o faith_n that_o when_o god_n do_v so_o discountenance_v the_o matter_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o show_v it_o not_o out_o of_o hand_n nevertheless_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o that_o be_v a_o father_n to_o we_o he_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

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

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

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

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

there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a zeal_n in_o they_o see_v that_o the_o world_n find_v this_o in_o they_o ought_v not_o they_o rather_o to_o find_v it_o in_o themselves_o if_o they_o do_v

let_v we_o take_v example_n by_o it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o we_o must_v not_o leave_v the_o other_o first_o article_n namely_o that_o god_n pour_v out_o reproach_n also_o upon_o such_o as_o be_v

according_a to_o thy_o wonderful_a wisdom_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o reply_v against_o thou_o and_o therefore_o we_o will_v patient_o wait_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o thy_o work_n true_a

do_v amiss_o and_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o reason_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o god_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whensoever_o god_n handle_v we_o rough_o and_o we_o be_v tempt_v

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 accurse_v when_o s._n paul_n go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o we_o be_v all_o guilty_a before_o god_n so_o as_o all_o

than_o what_o mean_v job_n to_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v justify_v if_o god_n will_v admit_v he_o to_o stand_v to_o his_o defence_n as_o if_o god_n have_v not_o whereof_o to_o accuse_v he_o or_o that_o he_o be_v not_o faulty_a in_o any_o thing_n and_o we_o know_v that_o in_o so_o much_o as_o he_o be_v a_o mortal_a man_n he_o be_v clothe_v with_o many_o infirmity_n and_o sin_n how_o then_o do_v he_o meene_z that_o he_o can_v be_v quit_v first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v touch_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o job_n look_v not_o simple_o at_o his_o own_o

go_v to_o he_o bear_v with_o they_o and_o forgive_v they_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o will_v afflict_v we_o for_o some_o other_o cause_n as_o befall_v unto_o job._n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n &_o that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o law_n may_v have_v punish_v he_o extreme_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v no_o such_o respect_n we_o have_v see_v afore_o that_o god_n punish_v not_o job_n sin_n as_o of_o set_a purpose_n to_o punish_v he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v punish_v this_o man_n because_o he_o have_v deserve_v it_o or_o because_o he_o have_v live_v naughty_o no_o god_n have_v no_o such_o respect_n with_o he_o what_o then_o he_o intend_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n to_o all_o man_n to_o the_o end_n 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 and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o secret_a and_o incomprehensible_a justice_n he_o may_v handle_v we_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n roughly_o than_o he_o do_v &_o therewithal_o also_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o patientness_n of_o the_o man_n god_n then_o mean_v to_o use_v job_n to_o all_o these_o matter_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v not_o to_o punish_v he_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n say_v that_o if_o he_o have_v leave_v to_o speak_v and_o to_o open_v his_o case_n at_o large_a he_o shall_v be_v find_v righteous_a according_a to_o god_n intent_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o present_a affliction_n that_o he_o endure_v god_n shall_v not_o find_v any_o iniquity_n in_o he_o in_o that_o behalf_n but_o contrariwise_o allow_v he_o for_o one_o of_o his_o servant_n but_o job_n in_o so_o say_v reject_v not_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n whereupon_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v found_v we_o say_v that_o man_n be_v make_v righteous_a by_o only_a faith_n because_o we_o be_v damn_v in_o our_o work_n this_o be_v true_a and_o bring_v all_o damnation_n and_o cursedness_n before_o god_n and_o therefore_o must_v all_o of_o we_o abide_v shame_n and_o confusion_n for_o this_o cause_n it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o borrow_v a_o righteousness_n that_o god_n may_v like_v and_o allow_v which_o thing_n be_v do_v when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n clothe_v we_o with_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o the_o same_o be_v allow_v we_o before_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o become_v righteous_a by_o

be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o
he_o shall_v have_v cast_v we_o in_o one_o point_n he_o shall_v be_v new_a to_o begin_v again_o in_o another_o david_n then_o know_v that_o man_n be_v plunge_v in_o damnation_n as_o deep_o and_o

as_o if_o he_o have_v release_v they_o but_o a_o debt_n of_o five_o shilling_n but_o they_o must_v bethink_v they_o well_o of_o their_o misdeed_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o of_o their_o transgression_n they_o must_v mind_n they_o thorough_o and_o bear_v they_o in_o remembrance_n by_o this_o than_o we_o see_v why_o there_o be_v use_v such_o diversity_n of_o word_n but_o as_o now_o job_n be_v flat_a contrary_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n may_v do_v amiss_o many_o way_n it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o be_v exceed_o blame_v worthy_a before_o god_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o when_o my_o life_n be_v thorough_o examine_v there_o will_v be_v neither_o misdo_n nor_o transgression_n nor_o iniquity_n too_o deserve_v that_o god_n shall_v handle_v i_o after_o this_o fashion_n but_o we_o must_v be_v heedful_a too_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v namely_o that_o job_n mean_v not_o too_o justify_v himself_o as_o though_o he_o have_v perform_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o full_a but_o only_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o god_n intent_n for_o the_o which_o he_o punish_v he_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o god_n have_v not_o respect_n unto_o his_o sin_n how_o great_a they_o be_v but_o mean_v too_o prove_v his_o patience_n lo_o why_o he_o scourge_v he_o but_o that_o we_o may_v take_v the_o more_o profit_n of_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o if_o god_n listen_v to_o use_v rigour_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o for_o any_o one_o sin_n he_o may_v punish_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v where_o to_o become_v and_o yet_o he_o shall_v do_v we_o no_o wrong_n then_o of_o much_o more_o likelihood_n if_o he_o list_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o all_o our_o sin_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o end_n and_o three_o although_o he_o punish_v we_o not_o direct_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v yet_o shall_v he_o be_v righteous_a still_o and_o it_o become_v we_o to_o sink_v down_o under_o he_o with_o true_a lowliness_n even_o in_o that_o behalf_n these_o than_o be_v the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o god_n list_v too_o condemn_v we_o for_o any_o one_o fault_n alone_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o reply_n against_o he_o and_o to_o say_v the_o punishment_n be_v overgreat_a we_o see_v what_o it_o boot_v cain_n to_o reply_n against_o god_n in_o that_o wise_a sure_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v the_o deed_n he_o be_v convict_v of_o it_o afore_o hand_n he_o have_v already_o say_v be_o i_o the_o keeper_n of_o my_o brother_n life_n but_o when_o he_o see_v that_o his_o iniquity_n be_v know_v he_o spite_v at_o it_o and_o gnassh_v his_o tooth_n and_o grunt_v say_v my_o punishment_n be_v great_a than_o i_o be_o able_a too_o bear_v for_o behold_v i_o be_o as_o a_o forlorn_a man_n thou_o chace_v i_o and_o where_o shall_v i_o become_v whosoever_o meet_v i_o shall_v kill_v i_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o cain_n murmur_v against_o god_n for_o that_o his_o punishment_n be_v too_o great_a but_o as_o i_o say_v speed_v he_o ever_o the_o better_a for_o that_o no_o his_o wickedness_n increase_v so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o let_v we_o keep_v our_o self_n from_o repine_v although_o we_o wist_v there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o one_o fault_n in_o we_o for_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o show_v what_o our_o sin_n have_v deserve_v only_o god_n be_v the_o competent_a judge_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v punish_v we_o not_o after_o our_o fancy_n nor_o as_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o but_o according_a too_o his_o own_o judgement_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n moreover_o for_o the_o second_o point_n we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o as_o our_o fault_n be_v innumerable_a so_o also_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n shall_v punish_v we_o after_o diverse_a sort_n and_o double_a his_o stripe_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v plunge_v deep_a and_o deep_a into_o so_o many_o misery_n and_o there_o languish_v as_o folk_n utter_o forlese_v let_v we_o not_o think_v this_o gear_n strange_a and_o why_o for_o our_o fault_n be_v without_o number_n that_o be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n for_o the_o three_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n may_v well_o utter_v his_o hand_n against_o we_o yea_o even_o to_o execute_v his_o secret_a judgement_n when_o we_o have_v labour_v to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o employ_v ourselves_o faithful_o upon_o our_o neighbour_n yea_o and_o live_v among_o man_n without_o fraud_n without_o malice_n and_o without_o violence_n when_o we_o have_v worship_v and_o serve_v god_n pure_o after_o that_o sort_n and_o when_o we_o have_v walk_v upright_o with_o our_o neighbour_n yet_o if_o god_n scourge_v we_o we_o must_v still_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a we_o see_v not_o why_o but_o yet_o must_v not_o we_o plead_v we_o must_v come_v short_a of_o that_o and_o say_v well_o lord_n thou_o will_v not_o show_v i_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o misery_n which_o i_o endure_v nevertheless_o i_o think_v the_o time_n long_o howbeit_o lord_n it_o be_v wisdom_n enough_o for_o i_o if_o i_o can_v humble_v myself_o under_o thy_o mighty_a hand_n and_o furthermore_o do_v i_o thou_o this_o pleasure_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bring_v unto_o god_n when_o we_o will_v obtain_v favour_n at_o his_o hand_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n and_o succour_n we_o which_o be_v too_o lay_v

how_o shall_v we_o then_o obtain_v mercy_n even_o by_o say_v alas_o lord_n consider_v what_o we_o be_v thou_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o have_v pity_n of_o we_o because_o we_o be_v thy_o creature_n

be_v in_o this_o world_n but_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o a_o end_n and_o when_o he_o call_v we_o to_o himself_o then_o be_v the_o good_a and_o sure_a rest_n and_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o thereupon_o have_v a_o life_n that_o be_v equal_a with_o this_o life_n in_o length_n of_o time_n but_o god_n make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o own_o life_n which_o be_v endless_a and_o therefore_o

for_o it_o furthermore_o sorasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v man_n so_o turmoil_v with_o unquietness_n and_o torment_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o affection_n and_o lust_n we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o

for_o even_o in_o the_o papacy_n it_o will_v be_v confess_v that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o god_n grace_n not_o only_o in_o forgyve_a our_o sin_n but_o also_o in_o aid_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a

therefore_o be_v fain_o to_o knock_v we_o hard_o upon_o the_o head_n with_o great_a beetle_n to_o beat_v we_o down_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o as_o we_o be_v pride_n will_v dwell_v

ghost_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o the_o uncleanness_n which_o be_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n as_o when_o david_n in_o the_o one_o and_o five_o psalm_n say_v that_o he_o be_v beget_v in_o sin_n and_o that_o his_o mother_n conceive_v he_o in_o sin_n he_o accuse_v not_o neither_o his_o father_n nor_o his_o mother_n but_o plead_v guilty_n for_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v

contrary_n wherefore_o say_v he_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o come_v of_o uncleanness_n can_v be_v pure_a &_o clean_a his_o intent_n be_v to_o seek_v some_o startinghole_n to_o abate_v the_o damnation_n that_o lie_v upon_o all_o man_n but_o it_o be_v clean_o contrariwise_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o text_n that_o i_o allege_v out_o of_o david_n for_o after_o that_o david_n have_v acknowledge_v his_o horrible_a sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n he_o hold_v not_o himself_o content_v with_o that_o but_o pass_v further_o say_v alas_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o my_o life_n time_n that_o i_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o i_o have_v also_o bring_v such_o a_o possession_n of_o sin_n from_o my_o birth_n that_o ever_o since_o i_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n i_o have_v still_o increase_v more_o &_o more_o in_o the_o evil_a whereof_o i_o have_v the_o seed_n within_o i_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o david_n do_v set_v original_a sin_n before_o his_o eye_n not_o to_o hunt_v for_o any_o pretence_n too_o clear_v himself_o before_o god_n but_o to_o pass_v the_o condemnation_n wherein_o he_o be_v then_o must_v we_o so_o deal_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o original_a

charge_v to_o have_v conclude_v that_o god_n do_v utter_o root_v out_o man_n when_o he_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n job_n i_o say_v make_v no_o such_o final_a conclusion_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v note_v that_o he_o be_v so_o dazzle_v with_o his_o passion_n that_o as_o they_o he_o remember_v not_o that_o man_n continue_v still_o in_o god_n after_o his_o death_n &_o have_v there_o a_o secret_a life_n &_o that_o the_o same_o life_n have_v a_o good_a seed_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v full_o restore_v to_o a_o perfection_n from_o which_o we_o be_v far_o off_o

these_o word_n certain_o job_n know_v well_o that_o god_n do_v man_n a_o singular_a good_a turn_n when_o he_o visit_v they_o and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v ask_v he_o why_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a

alas_o lord_n our_o life_n be_v but_o short_a and_o brittle_a there_o be_v nothing_o but_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n in_o we_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o thou_o forget_v we_o not_o deserve_v

with_o we_o and_o thou_o behold_v we_o with_o pity_n and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o in_o stead_n of_o tie_v we_o thereunto_o thou_o still_o pull_v we_o back_o to_o thou_o and_o as●aiest_v all_o mean_n too_o bring_v we_o too_o repentance_n and_o lord_n what_o a_o goodness_n be_v that_o lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o speak_v the_o same_o also_o be_v to_o be_v say_v in_o this_o present_a

tree_n do_v which_o have_v some_o root_n in_o the_o earth_n but_o do_v rot_v away_o quite_o and_o clean_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a that_o god_n do_v we_o in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o too_o preserve_v our_o life_n after_o the_o common_a order_n of_o nature_n and_o also_o keep_v it_o hide_v aloft_o too_o be_v manifest_v again_o in_o time_n convenient_a therefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o too_o be_v a_o inestimable_a privilege_n but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o lesson_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o although_o man_n be_v immortal_a yet_o they_o have_v it_o not_o of_o their_o own_o strength_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n yield_v the_o title_n of_o immortality_n and_o everlastingness_n peculiar_o unto_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o angel_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o man_n be_v they_o mortal_a as_o the_o brute_n beast_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o feel_v well_o how_o god_n breathe_v power_n into_o our_o soul_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n from_o else_o where_o and_o as_o it_o be_v do_v borrow_v it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o for_o although_o our_o soul_n come_v not_o to_o nought_o ne_o rot_v away_o as_o our_o body_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o horrible_a death_n than_o if_o they_o be_v utter_o return_v to_o nothing_o our_o state_n be_v better_a if_o we_o be_v utter_o foredo_v than_o to_o beeseparate_v from_o god_n and_o to_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v against_o we_o then_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v we_o another_o life_n which_o be_v that_o he_o knit_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v live_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o if_o we_o have_v this_o once_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a benefit_n wherein_o we_o can_v joy_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n work_v after_o a_o strange_a fashion_n and_o unknown_a too_o man_n reason_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v during_o their_o life_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o only_o set_v in_o like_a state_n with_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o be_v make_v much_o more_o poor_a and_o miserable_a for_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v afflict_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o mankind_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o be_v deal_v withal_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o colossian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o that_o our_o life_n lie_v hide_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n will_v show_v it_o in_o due_a time_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v a_o goodly_a similitude_n in_o that_o which_o job_n set_v down_o for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o tree_n fade_v at_o the_o come_n of_o winter_n there_o appear_v no_o more_o greenness_n in_o they_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v dead_a when_o the_o leaf_n be_v fall_v off_o and_o the_o tree_n themselves_o frostebitten_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o life_n cease_v not_o to_o lie_v hide_v both_o in_o the_o root_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o spring_n time_n be_v come_v all_o shoot_v forth_o again_o and_o the_o liveliness_n that_o be_v unseen_a for_o a_o time_n show_v itself_o anew_o now_o if_o god_n show_v we_o this_o in_o the_o tree_n will_v he_o not_o utter_v a_o great_a operation_n towards_o we_o that_o be_v so_o excellent_a creature_n sooth_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o reprove_v man_n for_o their_o beastliness_n because_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o god_n do_v show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a

not_o we_o senseless_a and_o brutish_a when_o we_o perceive_v not_o after_o what_o manner_n god_n work_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o life_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v here_o now_o for_o when_o we_o see_v the_o tree_n which_o in_o winter_n time_n be_v dead_a or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v dead_a become_v fresh_a and_o green_a again_o in_o the_o spring_n time_n we_o must_v be_v confirm_v in_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v unto_o we_o namely_o that_o although_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v and_o we_o be_v here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o shall_v not_o that_o hinder_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n continual_o and_o look_v for_o the_o resurrection_n that_o he_o have_v

it_o shall_v please_v god_n
send_v we_o nowadays_o but_o too_o call_v we_o to_o repentance_n now_o if_o god_n shall_v tarry_v till_o we_o be_v dead_a the_o gate_n will_v be_v shut_v there_o will_v be_v no_o time_n of_o return_v unto_o he_o behold_v say_v saint_n paul_n the_o acceptable_a day_n &_o the_o day_n of_o salvation_n be_v while_o we_o be_v in_o our_o way_n then_o if_o god_n shall_v see_v man_n go_v astray_o &_o

that_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o reason_v contrary_a too_o that_o which_o job_n do_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o see_v our_o life_n be_v short_a &_o not_o in_o so_o good_a case_n as_o a_o tree_n let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n it_o be_v so_o because_o that_o when_o we_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o the_o world_n it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v perish_v therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o god_n

to_o do_v yet_o fail_v we_o not_o to_o be_v move_v to_o have_v our_o flesh_n too_o show_v itself_o somewhat_o rebellious_a in_o we_o therefore_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o god_n too_o serve_v he_o but_o

to_o have_v god_n against_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v well_o enough_o feel_v the_o mischief_n when_o he_o persecute_v we_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o nor_o the_o chief_a thing_n

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 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

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

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

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

shall_v perish_v or_o else_o be_v convey_v over_o unto_o stranger_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o meaning_n here_o like_v as_o in_o other_o text_n the_o like_a be_v say_v of_o vineyard_n and_o

after_o one_o visible_a manner_n that_o our_o sense_n may_v perceive_v they_o sometime_o god_n cause_v his_o child_n to_o be_v toss_v from_o post_n to_o pillar_n as_o we_o see_v neither_o be_v it_o

in_o this_o world_n no_o for_o thereby_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o seek_v their_o heritage_n &_o rest_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o above_o therefore_o whereas_o the_o faithful_a be_v as_o

be_v thorough_o fence_v on_o all_o side_n yet_o can_v not_o all_o that_o shut_v the_o gate_n against_o god_n but_o that_o he_o may_v revendge_n on_o his_o side_n when_o he_o list_v immediate_o there_o

have_v declare_v already_o we_o must_v not_o be_v grieve_v at_o all_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v not_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n punish_v those_o that_o step_v out_o unto_o evil_n but_o rather_o seem_v to_o bear_v they_o good_a will_n and_o to_o hear_v their_o petition_n this_o trouble_v we_o and_o our_o desire_n boil_v within_o we_o so_o as_o we_o will_v feign_v that_o god_n shall_v

tree_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the._n 37._o psalm_n i_o have_v see_v the_o ungodly_a advance_v so_o high_a as_o he_o seem_v like_o a_o cedre_n of_o libanus_n for_o like_a as_o ceder_n be_v high_a than_o other_o tree_n even_o so_o be_v the_o wicked_a among_o man_n in_o somuch_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o man_n else_o shall_v stoop_v under_o they_o but_o what_o for_o that_o i_o

that_o he_o tarry_v patient_o till_o god_n have_v accomplish_v his_o work_n and_o that_o the_o full_a time_n be_v come_v even_o so_o must_v we_o do_v when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a in_o prosperity_n the_o same_o must_v not_o hinder_v we_o from_o follow_v our_o course_n till_o we_o be_v come_v thither_o as_o god_n call_v we_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n for_o the_o first_o point_n second_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_v this_o threaten_a that_o when_o the_o wicked_a shall_v have_v take_v deep_a root_n and_o be_v come_v to_o such_o prosperity_n as_o there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n that_o ever_o any_o wind_n or_o storm_n shall_v shake_v they_o then_o shall_v their_o root_n wither_v beneath_o that_o be_v to_o say_v then_o will_v god_n work_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o they_o shall_v be_v throw_v down_o and_o consume_v and_o their_o branch_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o above_o that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n will_v persecute_v they_o by_o all_o mean_n now_o when_o we_o see_v this_o let_v we_o resort_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v give_v to_o god_n child_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o man_n which_o fear_v god_n shall_v be_v like_o a_o tree_n plant_v by_o a_o river_n side_n which_o always_o draw_v moisture_n and_o nourishment_n too_o it_o and_o that_o such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o perfect_a belief_n in_o god_n be_v like_o thereunto_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o leremie_n therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n that_o we_o may_v draw_v moisture_n from_o he_o and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o another_o place_n of_o the_o psalm_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o namely_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v flourish_v as_o the_o palm_n tree_n &_o prosper_v even_o in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n also_o let_v we_o pray_v our_o lord_n to_o nourish_v our_o root_n beneath_o that_o although_o we_o carry_v no_o outward_a show_n before_o man_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o cease_v to_o have_v our_o life_n hide_v in_o christ_n and_o that_o if_o it_o please_v he_o to_o give_v we_o any_o countenance_n the_o same_o may_v be_v to_o the_o magnify_v of_o his_o blessing_n so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v a_o

as_o when_o a_o man_n cut_v or_o shr_v a_o vine_n it_o be_v to_o make_v it_o bear_v good_a fruit_n afterward_o whereas_o if_o it_o be_v let_v alone_o it_o will_v grow_v wild_a then_o let_v we_o be_v

that_o all_o thing_n may_v turn_v too_o our_o benefit_n beside_o this_o it_o will_v serve_v also_o to_o restrain_v we_o from_o be_v tempt_v to_o pray_v god_n to_o make_v we_o like_o the_o wicked_a â–ª_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o make_v we_o prosper_v as_o they_o do_v thus_o much_o concern_v this_o similitude_n and_o it_o be_v also_o say_v that_o their_o memorial_n shall_v perish_v in_o

here_o for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n mock_v such_o kind_n of_o vanity_n say_v that_o such_o as_o do_v settle_v their_o name_n in_o earth_n know_v not_o what_o god_n and_o his_o kingdom_n meene_z therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v desirous_a too_o make_v ourselves_o renown_v in_o this_o world_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o in_o vain_a also_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v it_o as_o a_o blessing_n too_o his_o child_n that_o their_o name_n shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v bliss_v and_o how_o be_v that_o it_o be_v because_o our_o lord_n spite_n of_o the_o churlishness_n of_o the_o world_n will_v notwithstanding_o make_v his_o servant_n honourable_a and_o in_o good_a estimation_n they_o may_v be_v despise_v for_o a_o time_n yea_o and_o subject_n to_o many_o slander_n and_o reproach_n but_o god_n will_v deliver_v they_o at_o length_n and_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o their_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v know_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o

again_o whereas_o god_n speak_v of_o renoun_n or_o memorial_n he_o mean_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o such_o as_o have_v discretion_n too_o judge_v for_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v blind_a and_o ignorant_a

although_o the_o law_n be_v not_o write_v in_o bildad_n time_n yet_o have_v he_o the_o same_o doctrine_n print_v in_o his_o heart_n by_o god_n â–ª_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o lord_n will_v

suffer_v even_o his_o own_o child_n to_o be_v barren_a the_o answer_n hereunto_o be_v that_o such_o manner_n of_o curse_n be_v oftentimes_o turn_v into_o blissing_n unto_o god_n child_n neither_o must_v we_o make_v a_o general_a and_o indifferent_a rule_n to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v in_o all_o caces_fw-la work_v his_o say_n visible_o to_o the_o eye_n for_o we_o must_v leave_v the_o choice_n of_o that_o too_o himself_o too_o dispose_v thereof_o in_o time_n and_o place_n as_o he_o shall_v think_v good_a we_o may_v see_v then_o that_o sometime_o a_o faithful_a man_n and_o one_o that_o fear_v god_n shall_v have_v no_o issue_n in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o too_o be_v say_v therefore_o that_o he_o be_v cuise_v of_o god_n for_o behold_v the_o first_o righteous_a man_n what_o issue_n leave_v he_o behind_o he_o yea_o and_o when_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n that_o his_o offspring_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o as_o the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n have_v he_o a_o great_a number_n of_o child_n how_o many_o child_n leave_v he_o after_o his_o death_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o have_v diverse_a other_o child_n beside_o isaac_n

count_v he_o for_o a_o utter_a castaway_n for_o like_a as_o general_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o anger_n when_o he_o punish_v we_o and_o too_o enter_v into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

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 when_o a_o man_n be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n although_o he_o be_v a_o great_a prince_n and_o honour_a of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o god_n have_v reach_v he_o his_o hand_n to_o exalt_v he_o

they_o
scatter_v they_o abroad_o lo_o whereunto_o this_o lesson_n ought_v to_o serve_v we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v first_o that_o our_o chief_a mark_n must_v not_o be_v to_o be_v well_o provide_v of_o great_a abundance_n of_o worldly_a good_n but_o that_o god_n must_v be_v so_o singular_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o we_o may_v feel_v his_o favour_n that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o take_v our_o nourishment_n at_o his_o hand_n this_o be_v it_o that_o will_v give_v we_o both_o contentation_n and_o rest_n but_o we_o see_v what_o the_o covetousness_n of_o man_n be_v how_o their_o desire_n can_v never_o be_v quench_v again_o what_o be_v these_o worldly_a good_n sure_o it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v blear_v sometime_o even_o with_o blast_n but_o yet_o do_v god_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o such_o as_o be_v so_o give_v to_o gather_v of_o riches_n that_o they_o perceive_v how_o they_o be_v nothing_o and_o that_o they_o pass_v away_o swift_o as_o a_o smoke_n so_o they_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v content_v and_o satisfy_v when_o he_o look_v no_o further_o but_o upon_o the_o good_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o hand_n the_o only_a mean_a to_o have_v rest_n &_o to_o see_v when_o we_o have_v enough_o be_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v his_o hand_n continual_o stretch_v out_o to_o give_v we_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v need_n of_o when_o we_o have_v this_o regard_n with_o we_o we_o shall_v have_v good_a rest_n &_o although_o we_o have_v but_o one_o bit_n of_o bread_n as_o you_o will_v say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v rich_a enough_o to_o maintain_v we_o we_o will_v wait_v upon_o he_o for_o that_o which_o he_o promise_v for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o lion_n and_o wild_a beast_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v give_v too_o raven_a and_o seem_v as_o though_o they_o will_v swallow_v up_o all_o thing_n cease_v not_o to_o suffer_v hunger_n and_o scarcity_n whereas_o god_n nourish_v those_o that_o be_v he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o dearth_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v always_o exempt_v from_o distress_n but_o yet_o will_v god_n succour_v they_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o extremity_n this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o the_o faithful_a rejoice_v and_o that_o be_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o for_o like_a as_o the_o wicked_a man_n have_v no_o true_a discern_v of_o a_o benefit_n so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n esteem_v a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n to_o be_v a_o declaration_n that_o god_n be_v their_o father_n and_o thereby_o they_o be_v also_o confirm_v that_o as_o he_o have_v sustain_v they_o to_o day_n so_o will_v he_o do_v his_o duty_n to_o morrow_n likewise_o and_o that_o he_o have_v always_o wherewith_o to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o his_o grace_n and_o goodness_n be_v never_o abate_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v lay_v up_o in_o store_n for_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o think_n upon_o our_o bodily_a nourishment_n be_v not_o the_o principal_a point_n whereby_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o feel_v what_o love_n and_o favour_n he_o bear_v we_o but_o that_o we_o must_v mount_v high_o namely_o that_o although_o we_o be_v the_o very_a wretch_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n yet_o have_v god_n prepare_v riches_n for_o we_o aloft_o in_o heaven_n whereunto_o we_o must_v hie_v we_o and_o thereupon_o whole_o set_v our_o mind_n nevertheless_o look_v whatsoever_o our_o good_a god_n do_v to_o we_o here_o below_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o foretaste_n that_o he_o give_v we_o of_o his_o sovereign_a goodness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v back_o again_o too_o the_o text_n that_o we_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o psalm_n lord_n how_o great_a be_v the_o abundance_n of_o thy_o goodness_n which_o thou_o have_v lay_v up_o in_o store_n for_o they_o that_o fear_v thou_o wherefore_o do_v the_o prophet_n speak_v so_o because_o that_o although_o god_n do_v shed_v out_o his_o bountifulness_n every_o where_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o mercy_n be_v upon_o all_o his_o creature_n yea_o even_o unto_o the_o brute_n beast_n yet_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a notwithstanding_o that_o they_o cram_v themselves_o with_o god_n benefit_n till_o they_o burst_v perceive_v not_o the_o goodness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o but_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o and_o why_o for_o god_n have_v lay_v it_o up_o in_o store_n for_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o deem_v man_n happy_a for_o the_o great_a abundance_n of_o the_o good_n that_o they_o possess_v but_o according_a too_o their_o contentation_n for_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o such_o as_o know_v not_o god_n grace_n ne_o have_v any_o care_n of_o it_o shall_v have_v contentation_n because_o they_o know_v not_o what_o a_o benefit_n they_o have_v which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v it_o not_o afterward_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o remainder_n of_o their_o meat_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v heap_v up_o great_a good_n and_o shall_v be_v likely_a too_o leave_v his_o child_n as_o little_a king_n god_n will_v undermine_v all_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o remainder_n leave_v sure_o this_o fall_v not_o out_o continual_o neither_o as_o i_o have_v say_v will_v god_n have_v one_o unchangeable_a rate_n keep_v always_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o judgement_n in_o this_o world_n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o then_o shall_v nothing_o be_v reserve_v till_o the_o latter_a day_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o shall_v perceive_v some_o token_n of_o they_o in_o that_o god_n consume_v some_o man_n good_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v apparent_a too_o man_n eye_n and_o yet_o not_o know_v where_o they_o be_v become_v nor_o by_o what_o mean_v he_o have_v be_v impoverish_v when_o we_o see_v such_o thing_n ought_v we_o not_o to_o think_v that_o god_n execute_v his_o office_n and_o give_v we_o occasion_n to_o think_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o be_v not_o entice_v to_o inordinate_a lust_n as_o we_o be_v wont_v too_o be_v nor_o surmise_n that_o our_o happiness_n consist_v in_o rake_v much_o good_n to_o ourselves_o nor_o imagine_v that_o riches_n be_v everlasting_a but_o rather_o come_v always_o back_o too_o this_o point_n of_o seek_v our_o ordinary_a food_n at_o his_o hand_n both_o too_o day_n and_o to_o morrow_n and_o all_o our_o life_n long_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v this_o lesson_n and_o when_o sophar_n have_v speak_v after_o that_o manner_n he_o add_v that_o when_o the_o wicked_a man_n be_v in_o his_o chief_a wealth_n he_o shall_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v in_o anguish_n and_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o labourer_n shall_v

ourselves_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a thorough_o stuff_v and_o that_o our_o lord_n heap_v up_o good_n in_o their_o house_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v he_o be_v mind_v to_o give_v they_o a_o

and_o to_o profit_v they_o yet_o they_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v in_o anguish_n behold_v a_o wonderful_a judgement_n of_o god_n and_o
give_v some_o sign_n whereby_o it_o be_v know_v that_o all_o thing_n must_v come_v to_o account_v before_o he_o and_o that_o man_n must_v pass_v through_o his_o hand_n also_o he_o give_v some_o

have_v to_o conclude_v when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v by_o god_n providence_n and_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v order_v by_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v

which_o be_v our_o whole_a hope_n when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n encourage_v and_o exhort_v the_o faithful_a to_o live_v well_o and_o holy_o it_o say_v my_o friend_n lift_v up_o your_o heart_n to_o the_o latter_a day_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o stick_v unto_o god_n firm_o and_o steadfast_o without_o swerve_v at_o any_o time_n except_o we_o overleape_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o beneath_o and_o mount_v up_o with_o our_o mind_n that_o our_o anchor_n hold_v be_v fasten_v whole_o there_o so_o must_v it_o be_v thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o job_n encounter_v here_o against_o the_o false_a and_o curse_a opinion_n of_o the_o saducee_n who_o think_v that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n but_o in_o this_o transitory_a life_n and_o mean_v too_o show_v that_o

for_o a_o certain_a time_n in_o the_o circuit_n which_o they_o make_v but_o also_o that_o god_n call_v they_o further_o we_o will_v not_o think_v that_o god_n be_v too_o slow_a although_o he_o do_v

be_v so_o as_o we_o can_v say_v that_o god_n have_v all_o majesty_n in_o himself_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n rob_v he_o of_o that_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o he_o &_o can_v be_v

yes_o sure_o so_o then_o we_o must_v be_v always_o full_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n that_o god_n govern_v &_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v direct_v by_o his_o guide_n and_o providence_n and_o we_o

by_o the_o trouble_n that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n how_o we_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a do_v live_v and_o grow_v old_a we_o see_v they_o lead_v their_o day_n in_o mirth_n and_o make_v great_a

in_o their_o overween_a can_v abide_v to_o yield_v god_n so_o much_o glory_n as_o to_o submit_v themselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o for_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v to_o they_o of_o god_n providence_n they_o

of_o god_n they_o can_v discern_v that_o man_n be_v convict_v by_o his_o own_o naughtiness_n be_v just_o condemn_v for_o the_o same_o &_o yet_o that_o god_n purpose_v another_o end_n which_o be_v

under_o such_o rule_n as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v in_o our_o understanding_n for_o his_o righteousness_n far_o pass_v the_o reach_n of_o our_o wit_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v humble_v ourselves_o &_o when_o soever_o god_n work_v after_o any_o fashion_n that_o be_v strange_a and_o unknown_a to_o we_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v always_o righteous_a for_o that_o be_v the_o way_n whereby_o god_n will_v try_v whither_o we_o honour_v he_o or_o no_o namely_o if_o when_o thing_n fall_v out_o contrary_a to_o our_o reason_n &_o like_n we_o nevertheless_o do_v still_o magnify_v his_o name_n for_o if_o god_n handle_v we_o after_o our_o own_o wish_n and_o
expedient_a for_o we_o according_a also_o as_o when_o he_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o be_v it_o for_o that_o he_o be_v afraid_a or_o for_o that_o he_o seek_v any_o profit_n by_o we_o no_o it_o be_v

the_o sea_n of_o all_o virtue_n that_o bring_v we_o to_o salvation_n therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v right_o subject_a unto_o god_n for_o if_o he_o hold_v not_o his_o majesty_n over_o we_o and_o show_v we_o not_o what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o our_o state_n be_v and_o hold_v we_o not_o under_o his_o foot_n what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o consider_v the_o pride_n and_o malapertness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o all_o god_n then_o in_o not_o show_v we_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o work_n do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o obey_v he_o again_o if_o we_o see_v not_o why_o

of_o we_o try_v himself_o nay_o contrariwise_o in_o steed_n of_o light_v a_o candle_n to_o search_v our_o own_o want_n and_o sin_n we_o quench_v the_o cresset_n that_o god_n have_v light_v too_o our_o

we_o may_v perceive_v the_o naughtiness_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o but_o we_o see_v how_o man_n labour_v to_o quench_v all_o the_o say_a knowledge_n and_o will_v fain_o suppress_v their_o own_o

and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o they_o endeavour_n to_o quench_v the_o lamp_n or_o candle_n that_o god_n have_v light_v in_o they_o to_o draw_v they_o they_o to_o this_o trial_n see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v search_v and_o try_v we_o because_o we_o will_v not_o do_v it_o ourselves_o as_o our_o duty_n be_v to_o do_v but_o by_o our_o good_a will_n will_v become_v

be_v dissemble_v so_o much_o and_o seem_v to_o be_v asleep_a when_o he_o let_v all_o thing_n alone_o after_o that_o sort_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o lesson_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o and_o too_o be_v often_o put_v in_o mind_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o see_v thing_n turmoil_v in_o the_o world_n we_o may_v always_o have_v such_o light_n of_o faith_n as_o may_v serve_v we_o too_o see_v god_n judgement_n although_o they_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o as_o now_o and_o so_o the_o very_a point_n that_o job_n intend_v too_o show_v here_o be_v that_o god_n hide_v his_o judgement_n for_o a_o time_n and_o neither_o execute_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o the_o wicked_a nor_o deliver_v the_o godly_a at_o the_o first_o brunt_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o endure_v many_o wrong_n for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o he_o say_v how_o be_v not_o the_o time_n hide_v of_o the_o almighty_a and_o such_o as_o know_v he_o see_v not_o his_o day_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o how_o eliphas_n bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n do_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o every_o man_n may_v perceive_v that_o he_o think_v upon_o those_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o have_v his_o eye_n upon_o they_o and_o reach_v they_o his_o hand_n continual_o and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o wicked_a be_v punish_v at_o his_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a say_v job._n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o it_o be_v see_v that_o all_o be_v full_a of_o robbery_n might_n overcome_v right_a and_o they_o that_o have_v take_v pain_n eat_v not_o the_o labour_n of_o their_o hand_n but_o their_o good_n be_v pluck_v from_o they_o by_o force_n see_v then_o that_o the_o good_a be_v so_o trouble_v and_o vex_v and_o the_o bad_a so_o harden_v and_o yet_o escape_v unpunished_a and_o god_n overslip_v they_o as_o though_o he_o pass_v not_o for_o these_o worldly_a matter_n what_o shall_v a_o man_n say_v but_o that_o he_o dissemble_v &_o will_v not_o show_v himself_o as_o a_o judge_n till_o he_o perceive_v the_o time_n to_o serve_v for_o it_o but_o if_o we_o will_v ask_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v secret_a and_o wonderful_a and_o pass_v all_o man_n capacity_n so_o as_o our_o wit_n shall_v fail_v we_o in_o that_o behalf_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v reverence_v the_o secret_n of_o god_n that_o be_v unknown_a to_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o too_o be_v righteous_a though_o we_o find_v his_o do_n to_o be_v strange_a many_o have_v trouble_v themselves_o great_o about_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o sentence_n where_o it_o be_v say_v how_o be_v not_o the_o time_n hide_v of_o god_n for_o it_o seem_v that_o job_n blaspheme_v in_o go_v about_o too_o exclude_v god_n from_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o the_o time_n be_v mean_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o change_v and_o alteration_n as_o if_o job_n have_v mean_v too_o say_v that_o god_n govern_v well_o the_o world_n in_o general_a but_o meddle_v not_o at_o all_o with_o the_o particular_a order_n and_o guide_v of_o thing_n in_o severalitie_n but_o this_o be_v far_o off_o from_o the_o natural_a meaning_n and_o we_o need_v not_o to_o seek_v elsewhere_o for_o exposition_n or_o gloze_z than_o in_o the_o text_n itself_o for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v how_o be_v not_o the_o time_n hide_v what_o mean_v job_n by_o that_o he_o show_v it_o himself_o in_o say_v how_o be_v it_o that_o they_o which_o know_v god_n perceive_v not_o his_o day_n we_o know_v that_o those_o be_v term_v the_o day_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o utter_v and_o show_v himself_o for_o when_o god_n punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a ne_o deliver_v the_o good_a nor_o hear_v their_o request_n at_o the_o first_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o god_n seem_v too_o be_v hide_v and_o withdraw_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o separate_v himself_o from_o it_o to_o let_v all_o go_v to_o havoc_n too_o be_v short_a except_o god_n make_v we_o too_o feel_v his_o providence_n and_o prove_v it_o unto_o we_o open_o that_o he_o govern_v both_o above_o and_o beneath_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o night_n and_o the_o time_n become_v dark_a for_o there_o be_v no_o light_n but_o in_o the_o countenance_n of_o god_n when_o he_o show_v himself_o the_o father_n of_o all_o good_a man_n in_o preserve_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n punish_v the_o wicked_a as_o they_o be_v worthy_a this_o be_v it_o i_o say_v which_o enlighten_v we_o this_o be_v the_o very_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o speak_v all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o when_o it_o say_v too_o the_o wicked_a do_v you_o rejoice_v at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o shall_v be_v turn_v unto_o you_o into_o darkness_n and_o not_o into_o light_n it_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o fear_n and_o terror_n why_o so_o when_o god_n appear_v the_o wicked_a must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a because_o his_o presence_n be_v enough_o too_o overwhelm_v they_o for_o what_o cause_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v so_o stubborn_a and_o too_o mock_v at_o all_o threaten_n and_o too_o go_v forward_o with_o their_o wicked_a affection_n but_o because_o it_o seem_v too_o they_o that_o they_o be_v escape_v from_o god_n hand_n but_o when_o god_n show_v himself_o too_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v abash_v spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n but_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o text_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n day_n be_v not_o see_v of_o they_o that_o know_v he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o good_a man_n that_o trust_v in_o god_n wait_v for_o his_o help_n &_o for_o the_o salvation_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o so_o as_o they_o can_v at_o the_o first_o brunt_n perceive_v that_o he_o will_v help_v they_o they_o seek_v he_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o dwell_v still_o in_o suspense_n as_o though_o their_o call_n upon_o he_o have_v not_o boot_v they_o at_o all_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v that_o the_o godly_a can_v see_v god_n presence_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o can_v perceive_v out_o of_o hand_n by_o experience_n that_o god_n be_v near_o they_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o himself_o declare_v say_v that_o he_o be_v always_o ready_a too_o here_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n now_o we_o have_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o this_o sentence_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n hide_v of_o the_o time_n be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n but_o because_o he_o delay_v and_o
world_n without_o redress_n or_o provide_v for_o it_o by_o god_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o prove_v that_o god_n iudgernente_n be_v not_o always_o visible_a nor_o apparent_a at_o the_o first_o brunt_n and_o that_o man_n ought_v too_o hold_v themselves_o quiet_a till_o our_o lord_n stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n because_o he_o know_v the_o fit_a time_n too_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o appoint_v it_o now_o than_o job_n allege_v that_o the_o world_n be_v so_o full_a of_o rakehelles_n that_o the_o poor_a go_v naked_a and_o such_o as_o have_v glean_v have_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n to_o eat_v but_o man_n snatch_v away_o even_o that_o little_a from_o they_o which_o they_o have_v glean_v of_o the_o rich_a man_n leaning_n whereby_o he_o signify_v that_o such_o as_o have_v wherewith_o do_v abuse_v their_o credit_n and_o riches_n too_o consume_v the_o poor_a utter_o and_o that_o be_v too_o outrageous_a a_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n provide_v not_o for_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n this_o may_v trouble_v we_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o many_o surmise_n god_n to_o be_v asleep_a when_o he_o work_v not_o after_o their_o like_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o that_o and_o to_o have_v foresee_v it_o long_o afore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o trouble_v and_o offend_v at_o it_o when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v for_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o god_n have_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n howbeit_o the_o time_n seem_v too_o be_v hide_v because_o we_o see_v not_o his_o day_n out_o of_o hand_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o hide_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o show_v not_o himself_o willing_a to_o have_v care_n to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v afflict_v for_o he_o try_v their_o patience_n for_o a_o time_n after_o job_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o such_o as_o have_v take_v pain_n yea_o and_o have_v get_v wherewith_o to_o relieve_v themselves_o can_v enjoy_v their_o own_o good_n the_o man_n say_v he_o that_o bath_n press_v out_o the_o oil_n within_o his_o wall_n the_o man_n that_o bathe_v tread_v out_o the_o wine_n shall_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v athirst_a true_a it_o be_v that_o oftentimes_o this_o happen_v through_o god_n just_a punishment_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v threaten_v in_o the_o law_n thou_o shall_v plant_v tree_n and_o not_o eat_v of_o their_o fruit_n thou_o shall_v till_o the_o earth_n and_o sow_v corn_n and_o not_o reap_v the_o harvest_n thou_o shall_v dress_v the_o vine_n and_o not_o drink_v of_o the_o wine_n when_o our_o lord_n speak_v after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o mean_v to_o leave_v thing_n out_o of_o order_n in_o the_o world_n but_o contrariwise_o he_o threaten_v to_o punish_v those_o that_o have_v not_o use_v his_o benefit_n well_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o on_o our_o side_n can_v always_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n why_o god_n dissemble_v the_o matter_n when_o some_o pill_n and_o poll_n and_o othersome_a be_v spoil_v of_o their_o substance_n we_o can_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o god_n also_o intend_v to_o humble_v we_o that_o we_o may_v honour_v he_o and_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o very_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v so_o dazzle_v as_o we_o can_v discern_v what_o he_o intend_v and_o so_o you_o see_v whereat_o job_n amed_z as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o

redress_v it_o but_o he_o do_v not_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n work_v not_o after_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v know_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o

that_o god_n judgement_n be_v not_o rule_v by_o man_n discretion_n but_o be_v secret_a and_o hide_a from_o we_o for_o that_o cause_n he_o add_v that_o man_n cry_v from_o out_o of_o the_o city_n and_o

howbeit_o this_o translation_n also_o that_o god_n put_v no_o stop_n be_v very_a fit_n notwithstanding_o that_o most_o man_n take_v it_o in_o another_o sense_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v not_o any_o

this_o signification_n be_v most_o common_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o a_o eye_n must_v be_v have_v to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o sentence_n job_n mean_v not_o to_o prove_v here_o that_o

must_v look_v further_a than_o to_o the_o present_a and_o visible_a thing_n then_o what_o say_v job_n here_o behold_v say_v he_o how_o man_n condemn_v themselves_o when_o they_o sin_n and_o yet_o

this_o be_v it_o in_o effect_n whereat_o job_n am_z therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o seek_v the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n to_o work_v naughtiness_n in_o be_v sorry_a when_o they_o see_v the_o day_n appear_v and_o it_o be_v to_o they_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n true_a it_o be_v that_o sometime_o man_n become_v so_o shameless_a as_o they_o

for_o we_o if_o we_o continue_v wilful_o in_o our_o sin_n behold_v here_o a_o lesson_n which_o of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o necessary_a and_o lest_o put_v in_o ure_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v

they_o be_v convict_v that_o they_o can_v not_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o sure_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o see_v a_o man_n wilful_o give_v to_o do_v evil_a or_o feel_v our_o own_o sin_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o god_n summon_v we_o to_o his_o judgement_n and_o constrain_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o it_o and_o this_o be_v not_o do_v once_o a_o year_n but_o we_o have_v infinite_a

which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v send_v a_o pursuivant_n to_o we_o to_o say_v you_o must_v appear_v before_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v your_o judge_n we_o see_v a_o number_n of_o such_o

regard_v it_o do_v not_o man_n wilful_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o god_n warning_n and_o may_v it_o not_o well_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n have_v bewitch_v we_o yes_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o

this_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o welter_v still_o in_o our_o own_o filth_n and_o to_o grow_v as_o it_o be_v senseless_a hereby_o therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o lesson_n be_v very_o ill_o put_v

much_o as_o man_n labour_v to_o excuse_v and_o justify_v themselves_o in_o their_o evil_a do_n and_o yet_o can_v not_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v it_o stand_v every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o hand_n to_o

if_o a_o man_n have_v spend_v the_o night_n secret_o in_o whoredom_n if_o he_o have_v go_v a_o thieve_a if_o he_o have_v beguile_v his_o neighbour_n or_o if_o he_o have_v shut_v the_o door_n to_o he_o to_o practice_v some_o treason_n true_o man_n can_v not_o condemn_v he_o till_o his_o lewdness_n be_v know_v abroad_o but_o can_v he_o eschew_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o two_o edge_a sword_n and_o enter_v through_o the_o bone_n and_o the_o maree_o so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o

which_o s._n paul_n give_v we_o which_o be_v that_o sith_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o enlighten_v we_o we_o be_v no_o more_o the_o child_n of_o darkness_n but_o of_o light_n such_o as_o have_v

we_o by_o his_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v daylight_n in_o the_o night_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n shall_v no_o more_o shine_v upon_o the_o church_n by_o day_n nor_o the_o

man_n lay_v himself_o in_o his_o bed_n or_o shut_v himself_o in_o his_o chamber_n or_o hide_v himself_o so_o close_o as_o no_o man_n may_v know_v what_o he_o say_v or_o what_o he_o do_v and_o yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v always_o shine_v upon_o he_o he_o can_v not_o quench_v the_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o and_o out_o of_o doubt_n although_o the_o scornful_a and_o heathenish_a sort_n labour_n to_o do_v it_o as_o we_o see_v how_o there_o be_v mad_a beast_n in_o these_o day_n which_o seek_v mthe_v but_o to_o abolish_v all_o religion_n yet_o will_v god_n have_v the_o say_a lamp_n of_o his_o word_n to_o burn_v always_o before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v perceive_v their_o own_o damnation_n by_o it_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o gospel_n the_o brightness_n whereof_o we_o can_v not_o dim_a let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o and_o understand_v that_o when_o thief_n whoremaster_n and_o other_o evil_a doer_n seek_v covert_a they_o teach_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o walk_v see_v that_o god_n be_v with_o we_o and_o we_o present_v with_o he_o and_o that_o he_o show_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v with_o open_a face_n either_o as_o our_o father_n or_o as_o our_o judge_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o dedicate_v our_o whole_a life_n unto_o he_o and_o whereas_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o will_v cover_v their_o evil_a do_n shun_v the_o light_n as_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v glad_a when_o night_n come_v let_v we_o use_v the_o light_n that_o be_v give_v we_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o stray_v out_o of_o our_o way_n and_o from_o swerve_v aside_o special_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o and_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o the_o grace_n that_o god_n give_v we_o in_o make_v we_o to_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o wretchedness_n by_o mean_n of_o his_o gospel_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o like_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v hate_v the_o light_n of_o the_o day_n and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o the_o sun_n be_v pluck_v out_o of_o the_o sky_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v always_o have_v freedom_n to_o do_v evil_a so_o do_v they_o much_o more_o shun_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o same_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v so_o ill_o receive_v of_o the_o world_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v it_o be_v a_o wonder_n how_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o stubborn_a against_o

can_v be_v how_o can_v it_o be_v will_n many_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o stubborn_a as_o to_o forsake_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o a_o outrageous_a churlishness_n yes_o certain_o be_v it_o but_o behold_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o world_n hate_v the_o gospel_n be_v because_o that_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v who_o so_o ever_o do_v evil_a hate_v the_o light_n now_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o that_o most_o man_n give_v themselves_o to_o all_o evil_a yea_o and_o oven_n they_o that_o be_v convict_v of_o their_o wilfulness_n cease_v not_o too_o harden_v themselves_o but_o will_v fain_o shut_v their_o eye_n to_o spite_n god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o taste_v of_o the_o gospel_n or_o to_o bite_v of_o it_o but_o rather_o play_v the_o mad_a bedlam_n aught_v it_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a no_o for_o we_o see_v that_o thief_n murderer_n whoremonger_n and_o all_o other_o evil_a doer_n can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o have_v the_o sun_n darken_v and_o that_o it_o shall_v no_o more_o shine_v in_o the_o world_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v yet_o far_o great_a for_o that_o serve_v not_o to_o gyude_v our_o eye_n only_o and_o to_o show_v we_o the_o way_n outward_o but_o it_o enter_v even_o into_o our_o

touch_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n when_o god_n make_v his_o daisunne_n to_o shine_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v give_v himself_o to_o

we_o you_o see_v then_o what_o the_o pride_n of_o man_n be_v so_o long_o as_o they_o look_v no_o further_o than_o among_o themselves_o but_o when_o we_o come_v before_o god_n and_o know_v what_o we_o

we_o too_o then_o if_o a_o man_n do_v at_o any_o time_n bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o have_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o to_o vaunt_v himself_o of_o to_o correct_v that_o folly_n and_o

as_o he_o look_v but_o upon_o himself_o or_o do_v but_o compare_v himself_o with_o his_o neighbour_n but_o we_o do_v then_o learn_v to_o know_v ourselves_o when_o we_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n a_o

of_o his_o natural_a wit_n assure_v himself_o that_o that_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n for_o man_n to_o purchase_v estimation_n by_o but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o

do_v or_o else_o that_o we_o must_v hope_v that_o he_o will_v one_o day_n judge_v the_o world_n and_o where_o as_o we_o hang_v in_o suspense_n and_o our_o mind_n be_v hold_v in_o doubt_n by_o reason_n

here_o too_o plead_v with_o god_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o second_o too_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n and_o outrage_n thus_o see_v you_o two_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v very_o strange_a if_o job_n intent_n be_v not_o know_v but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v he_o of_o his_o right_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o god_n use_v a_o tyrannical_a manner_n of_o deal_n with_o he_o neither_o mean_v he_o that_o himself_o be_v so_o righteous_a that_o god_n have_v not_o cause_v too_o punish_v he_o yet_o more_o rigorous_o but_o rather_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ordinanarie_n righteousness_n that_o be_v write_v of_o in_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o such_o as_o have_v condemn_v he_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v job_n friend_n go_v no_o further_a than_o thus_o namely_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o be_v the_o father_n and_o saviour_n of_o good_a man_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o job_n be_v a_o wicked_a man_n and_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o his_o life_n be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o why_o for_o man_n see_v he_o be_v punish_v with_o extremity_n if_o you_o mark_v all_o the_o adversity_n that_o happen_v common_o in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o this_o be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v conclude_v that_o god_n have_v find_v this_o man_n to_o be_v a_o outrageous_a sinner_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n loe_o what_o conclusion_n job_n friend_n make_v but_o they_o deal_v yet_o worse_a for_o they_o rest_v upon_o the_o

for_o the_o server_n of_o god_n after_o death_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v think_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v punish_v any_o where_o else_o than_o here_o this_o be_v a_o overth_z wart_n expound_v of_o god_n law_n for_o although_o our_o lord_n threaten_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v offender_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o restrain_v himself_o to_o any_o certain_a time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o be_v ordinary_o see_v in_o this_o present_a life_n howbeit_o not_o continual_o we_o must_v not_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o without_o exception_n for_o that_o be_v a_o bring_n of_o god_n too_o much_o under_o coram_fw-la so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o job_n have_v the_o better_a end_n of_o the_o staff_n against_o his_o friend_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o

ourselves_o as_o upon_o our_o neighbour_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v construe_v god_n love_n towards_o we_o according_a to_o his_o present_a handle_n of_o we_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o despair_v at_o every_o blow_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o he_o punish_v we_o we_o be_v always_o well_o worthy_a of_o it_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o shall_v imagine_v that_o god_n

so_o you_o see_v we_o shall_v be_v utter_o undo_v wherefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o know_v that_o god_n afflict_v of_o man_n be_v not_o always_o for_o their_o sin_n but_o because_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o exercise_v their_o patience_n to_o tame_v their_o fleshly_a lust_n to_o bring_v they_o whole_o under_o his_o awe_n &_o to_o teach_v they_o that_o in_o this_o present_a

will_v be_v enough_o to_o cast_v as_o many_o of_o we_o in_o despair_n as_o do_v suffer_v adversity_n like_v as_o it_o be_v not_o long_o of_o job_n friend_n that_o they_o utter_o overwhelm_v he_o not_o by_o stand_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o god_n punish_v he_o for_o some_o great_a sin_n for_o job_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o such_o word_n may_v have_v be_v catch_v with_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v know_v what_o to_o do_v else_o than_o to_o have_v take_v himself_o for_o a_o damn_a &_o curse_a man_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o also_o shall_v do_v be_v there_o no_o more_o but_o this_o pride_n in_o condemn_v of_o innocent_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o bliss_v be_v that_o man_n which_o judge_v discret_o of_o he_o that_o be_v in_o adversity_n so_o that_o if_o we_o see_v god_n chastizement_n we_o may_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o they_o not_o look_v only_o upon_o such_o

a_o look_a glass_n and_o as_o a_o lively_a image_n too_o show_v we_o what_o shall_v befall_v we_o and_o what_o we_o have_v to_o fear_v if_o we_o return_v not_o unto_o he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v live_v well_o and_o we_o perceive_v not_o why_o he_o be_v punish_v let_v we_o hold_v ourselves_o short_a and_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n till_o he_o show_v we_o his_o judgement_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v overhasty_a in_o the_o mean_a while_n for_o whosoever_o hold_v not_o himself_o still_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o may_v pervert_v god_n judgement_n at_o every_o turn_n by_o misjudge_a they_o and_o consequent_o he_o shall_v usurp_v the_o authority_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o so_o let_v we_o come_v again_o to_o that_o which_o job_n say_v now_o which_o be_v god_n have_v bereave_v i_o of_o my_o judgement_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o job_n mean_v not_o that_o god_n use_v a_o tyrannical_a fashion_n in_o do_v so_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o again_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o have_v so_o good_a right_n on_o his_o side_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o to_o clear_v himself_o not_o too_o have_v do_v amiss_o when_o the_o matter_n shall_v come_v to_o debate_v but_o he_o declare_v only_o that_o the_o affliction_n which_o he_o endure_v be_v as_o a_o thick_a

behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o he_o have_v a_o high_a kind_n of_o justice_n or_o righteousness_n than_o our_o wit_n can_v reach_v unto_o and_o we_o can_v never_o attain_v unto_o it_o but_o the_o

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

so_o than_o if_o we_o look_v wise_o upon_o god_n judgement_n we_o may_v well_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v punish_v the_o wicked_a in_o their_o offspring_n look_v upon_o a_o man_n that_o shall_v have_v endure_v great_a unquietness_n and_o pain_n all_o his_o life_n long_o too_o gather_v good_n in_o deed_n he_o

not_o always_o visible_a so_o as_o we_o may_v point_n they_o out_o to_o say_v god_n deal_v always_o after_o this_o manner_n so_o then_o when_o so_o ever_o god_n punish_v any_o man_n be_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n or_o in_o his_o offspring_n let_v we_o look_v well_o upon_o such_o example_n that_o we_o may_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o they_o and_o if_o he_o wink_v at_o other_o and_o punish_v they_o not_o at_o the_o first_o let_v we_o tarry_v patient_o till_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n appear_v for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o

hate_v we_o and_o persecute_v we_o as_o a_o mortal_a enemy_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o humble_v
namely_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v heap_v up_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o movable_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n good_a man_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v clothe_v with_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o because_o god_n child_n walk_v simple_o and_o plain_o they_o may_v want_v many_o thing_n and_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o poverty_n threaten_v to_o attach_v they_o within_o a_o day_n or_o twain_o but_o yet_o god_n provide_v in_o such_o wise_a for_o they_o as_o they_o always_o keep_v on_o their_o way_n still_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o godly_a shall_v sometime_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o

behove_v we_o to_o bear_v always_o in_o mind_n that_o god_n judgement_n be_v not_o ever_o apparent_a and_o visible_a to_o be_v see_v with_o man_n eye_n when_o we_o see_v a_o wicked_a man_n rich_a we_o

they_o look_v about_o they_o they_o find_v no_o succour_n but_o be_v disappoint_v of_o their_o long_n here_o we_o have_v a_o fair_a look_a glass_n of_o god_n judgement_n howbeit_o that_o we_o play_v not_o those_o which_o hold_v argument_n against_o job_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o we_o go_v not_o about_o too_o enforce_v god_n too_o set_v thing_n in_o their_o perfect_v state_n for_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v till_o the_o last_o day_n yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v warn_v to_o look_v upon_o god_n hand_n as_o oft_o as_o our_o lord_n overthrow_v the_o wicked_a and_o beat_v they_o down_o we_o must_v not_o in_o this_o point_n seek_v any_o chance_n as_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n do_v which_o imagine_v a_o wheel_n of_o fortune_n where_o as_o man_n be_v hoist_v up_o aloft_o and_o afterward_o let_v fall_v again_o for_o the_o change_n and_o rove_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o thing_n that_o happen_v by_o adventure_n but_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 make_v of_o his_o burial_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v not_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v eat_v with_o dog_n or_o whether_o he_o be_v cast_v abroad_o into_o the_o field_n the_o scripture_n speak_v 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 god_n execute_v not_o his_o temporal_a punishment_n after_o one_o equal_a rate_n in_o this_o world_n but_o reserve_v the_o chief_a to_o himself_o till_o the_o latter_a day_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v when_o we_o see_v good_a man_n burn_v and_o put_v to_o open_a shame_n and_o god_n child_n perish_v with_o the_o wicked_a yea_o as_o touch_v the_o body_n so_o as_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o

it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o they_o be_v such_o judgement_n as_o be_v hide_v and_o incomprehensible_a as_o yet_o and_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o tarry_v till_o our_o lord_n bring_v we_o to_o that_o day_n wherein_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v discover_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v serve_v for_o a_o tomb_n too_o such_o as_o be_v so_o martyr_v i_o mean_v too_o the_o innocent_n that_o be_v put_v to_o reproach_n by_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o persecuter_n and_o that_o if_o they_o have_v the_o honourable_a burial_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n that_o god_n give_v they_o for_o can_v a_o man_n find_v a_o more_o

so_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v we_o bury_v let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o record_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o if_o he_o bereeve_v the_o wicked_a of_o their_o burial_n let_v we_o also_o behold_v his_o vengeance_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o in_o their_o death_n yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o refrain_v ourselves_o and_o to_o have_v our_o eye_n as_o it_o be_v close_v up_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o secret_a iudgemenre_n until_o we_o become_v unto_o the_o last_o day_n where_o he_o will_v show_v we_o the_o thing_n perfect_o which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o order_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o
at_o the_o last_o day_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n meaning_n be_v notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a as_o now_o to_o stand_v upon_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v here_o for_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o to_o show_v we_o the_o cunning_a of_o such_o mine_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a small_a profit_n if_o i_o shall_v bestow_v three_o or_o four_o

to_o behold_v the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v they_o and_o think_v upon_o they_o yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v

tread_v god_n work_v under_o their_o foot_n and_o know_v not_o his_o majesty_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o brutish_a but_o at_o leastwise_o although_o we_o be_v not_o so_o heavy_a and_o

that_o hide_v away_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o man_n do_v go_v through_o with_o they_o for_o anon_o after_o god_n send_v light_a and_o the_o darkness_n continue_v not_o

we_o withal_o when_o we_o see_v a_o stark_a idiot_n that_o have_v no_o wit_n nor_o reason_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o look_v well_o upon_o he_o for_o he_o be_v a_o mirror_n of_o our_o nature_n whence_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

this_o will_v be_v the_o easy_a to_o understand_v if_o we_o add_v one_o other_o goodly_a text_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n in_o the_o .33_o chapter_n there_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o true_a

the_o prophet_n isaiah_n treat_v there_o of_o the_o perfection_n which_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o say_v that_o steadfastness_n strength_n and_o salvation_n

that_o where_o god_n be_v not_o know_v there_o all_o thing_n must_v go_v to_o havoc_n and_o utter_a desolation_n like_a as_o it_o be_v also_o say_v in_o another_o text_n where_o the_o prophet_n

when_o man_n abuse_v themselves_o wilful_o after_o that_o sort_n if_o god_n give_v they_o over_o to_o a_o lewd_a mind_n so_o as_o they_o be_v no_o more_o ashamed_a to_o cast_v themselves_o into_o so_o

say_a text_n too_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o treasure_n of_o ezechias_n and_o of_o all_o his_o people_n isaiah_n therefore_o do_v

than_o we_o see_v that_o to_o fear_n god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o goodness_n but_o here_o job_n have_v set_v down_o one_o particular_a for_o the_o whole_a purposely_o to_o

but_o that_o we_o take_v courage_n too_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o leave_v not_o too_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o practice_v still_o this_o

in_o such_o wise_n as_o they_o become_v utter_o blind_a except_o god_n constrain_v they_o by_o force_n to_o think_v upon_o their_o sin_n then_o if_o god_n let_v we_o alone_o in_o rest_n we_o have_v

of_o the_o adversity_n which_o he_o shall_v send_v we_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o he_o will_v pity_v we_o and_o not_o handle_v we_o rigorous_o likewise_o if_o we_o see_v that_o god_n let_v the_o

to_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o root_v and_o wipe_v out_o of_o the_o world_n for_o although_o he_o leave_v they_o in_o prosperity_n they_o be_v not_o therefore_o in_o his_o favour_n but_o it_o be_v to_o make_v they_o the_o more_o unexcusable_a and_o needs_o must_v they_o pay_v dear_a for_o their_o abuse_n of_o god_n patience_n in_o that_o wise_a when_o he_o call_v they_o to_o repentance_n by_o handle_v they_o so_o gentle_o lo_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a word_n that_o job_n use_v here_o why_o

or_o else_o as_o if_o a_o sick_a man_n shall_v content_v himself_o with_o a_o preparative_n and_o afterward_o die_v upon_o it_o for_o want_v of_o take_v further_o physic_n then_o must_v not_o this_o

every_o man_n can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n now_o when_o god_n advance_v a_o man_n in_o such_o wise_n by_o give_v he_o more_o large_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v purchase_v himself_o estimation_n and_o not_o rather_o for_o
according_a as_o we_o see_v even_o by_o that_o which_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v let_v we_o mark_v i_o say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o god_n help_n according_a to_o every_o moment_n of_o

furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o god_n pretend_v not_o to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o show_v that_o he_o hear_v they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o

to_o be_v short_a that_o he_o appayr_v his_o case_n by_o call_v upon_o god_n as_o though_o he_o do_v put_v god_n in_o mind_n too_o punish_v he_o the_o more_o you_o may_v see_v now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a temptation_n for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v in_o his_o calamity_n and_o not_o to_o be_v hear_v and_o as_o job_n have_v feel_v that_o so_o may_v we_o also_o oftentimes_o feel_v it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o far_o great_a grief_n when_o we_o look_v to_o near_o upon_o it_o that_o be_v too_o say_v when_o our_o call_n upon_o god_n do_v so_o little_o avail_v we_o as_o it_o seem_v rather_o to_o

what_o shall_v seem_v unto_o the_o faithful_a as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o himself_o but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v hereupon_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v declare_v

but_o increase_v by_o it_o for_o although_o he_o hear_v we_o not_o at_o the_o first_o but_o pretend_v to_o be_v as_o yet_o still_o more_o stir_v against_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o although_o

practice_v this_o sentence_n to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v we_o may_v not_o faint_a nor_o be_v dismay_v and_o overcome_v but_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o uttermost_a whatsoever_o temptation_n god_n send_v we_o yea_o and_o though_o we_o see_v death_n present_a before_o our_o eye_n insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o like_a as_o our_o good_a god_n hear_v his_o servant_n job_n so_o also_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v give_v a_o good_a and_o happy_a issue_n to_o all_o our_o adversity_n 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 acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o touch_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o

we_o may_v be_v right_o humble_v under_o his_o obedience_n to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o service_n and_o to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o his_o hand_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v all_o

one_o be_v that_o if_o our_o lord_n make_v we_o to_o prosper_v so_o as_o we_o have_v peace_n and_o rest_n and_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o and_o we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o grief_n for_o a_o time_n we_o must_v not_o be_v to_o delicate_a nor_o to_o tender_v in_o shrink_v away_o from_o show_v pity_n and_o compassion_n towards_o such_o as_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o we_o must_v

we_o can_v help_v they_o by_o none_o other_o mean_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v the_o first_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o not_o fall_v a_o sleep_v in_o our_o

thing_n i_o say_v which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v ourselves_o when_o god_n spare_v we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o prosperity_n continue_v not_o still_o with_o we_o it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o abuse_v it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o second_o if_o god_n send_v we_o affliction_n let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o well_o and_o examine_v whither_o we_o have_v not_o be_v sleepy_a in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o prosperity_n for_o hereby_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o know_v our_o fault_n and_o to_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n say_v lord_n thou_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o punish_v we_o and_o why_o for_o since_o the_o time_n that_o thou_o do_v prosper_v we_o by_o thy_o favour_n we_o have_v forget_v thou_o and_o lay_v the_o bridle_n in_o our_o neck_n and_o take_v to_o much_o liberty_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o thou_o shall_v punish_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o unruliness_n lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n our_o former_a fault_n when_o god_n visit_v we_o by_o any_o affliction_n and_o special_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v well_o whether_o we_o have_v not_o be_v unmerciful_a toward_o such_o as_o deserve_v our_o succour_n for_o we_o have_v make_v no_o account_n of_o other_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o lord_n shall_v handle_v we_o rough_o again_o that_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n by_o our_o lord_n sharpness_n and_o rigour_n towards_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o further_o although_o we_o have_v endeavour_v to_o help_v our_o neighbour_n and_o have_v have_v compassion_n of_o their_o misery_n and_o mourn_v with_o they_o that_o mourn_v as_o s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v always_o to_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o correction_n which_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o send_v we_o yea_o even_o though_o we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v it_o if_o we_o have_v be_v watchful_a in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o not_o abuse_v our_o ease_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n miss_v to_o handle_v we_o rough_o now_o and_o then_o if_o we_o ask_v why_o he_o do_v it_o the_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v manifest_a at_o the_o first_o but_o he_o do_v it_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o so_o let_v we_o always_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n these_o two_o reason_n distinct_o first_o that_o we_o remember_v the_o threaten_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o such_o as_o be_v unmerciful_a to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o play_v the_o beast_n in_o their_o prosperity_n and_o second_o that_o we_o consider_v that_o although_o man_n behave_v themselves_o mild_o sober_o and_o friendly_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o afflict_v they_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n as_o we_o see_v have_v happen_v unto_o job._n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o in_o stead_n of_o that_o he_o say_v here_o i_o have_v wait_v for_o light_n and_o behold_v here_o be_v darkness_n i_o have_v hope_v for_o good_a and_o behold_v here_o be_v evil_a let_v we_o look_v for_o good_a according_a as_o god_n promise_v it_o for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n have_v promise_n not_o only_o of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n but_o also_o of_o the_o present_a and_o transitory_a life_n so_o then_o let_v we_o always_o look_v for_o welfare_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o look_v for_o it_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o we_o for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v we_o to_o handle_v we_o gentle_o &_o to_o use_v fatherly_a and_o love_a kindness_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v but_o conditional_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o why_o for_o his_o temporal_a benefit_n be_v such_o as_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o deal_v they_o forth_o and_o to_o distribute_v they_o by_o measure_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o impossibility_n or_o at_o leastwise_o a_o very_a hard_a matter_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o either_o abuse_n and_o corrupt_v god_n gift_n or_o bestow_v they_o clean_o contrary_a to_o his_o meaning_n so_o then_o we_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o when_o god_n have_v do_v we_o good_a he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o yea_o and_o also_o increase_v it_o still_o but_o we_o must_v not_o also_o look_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o therewithal_o dispose_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o why_o so_o we_o must_v not_o make_v reckon_v that_o we_o have_v a_o everlasting_a state_n in_o our_o life_n without_o any_o change_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o our_o life_n be_v frail_a so_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o change_n and_o that_o if_o we_o have_v prosperity_n to_o day_n god_n may_v disappoint_v we_o of_o it_o to_o morrow_n and_o although_o we_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o yet_o he_o know_v it_o and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v with_o it_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o look_v for_o the_o temporal_a benefit_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v that_o when_o they_o enjoy_v they_o they_o must_v believe_v full_o that_o god_n will_v continue_v his_o deal_n towards_o they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v thitherto_o howbeit_o in_o look_v for_o prosperity_n it_o behoove_v they_o to_o prepare_v themselves_o to_o receive_v adversity_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v take_v unwares_o nor_o think_v it_o strange_a if_o he_o bereeve_v they_o of_o his_o benefit_n when_o he_o have_v handle_v they_o as_o gentle_o as_o may_v be_v for_o a_o time_n i_o say_v they_o must_v not_o think_v it_o any_o novelty_n if_o god_n turn_v his_o hand_n the_o contrary_a way_n and_o smite_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o look_v for_o prosperity_n must_v be_v with_o continual_a dispose_n of_o ourselves_o too_o suffer_v adversity_n yea_o and_o to_o suffer_v it_o patient_o to_o the_o end_n we_o miscarry_v not_o when_o it_o come_v upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o in_o conclusion_n mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o concern_v job._n he_o complain_v that_o he_o be_v a_o

be_v three_o degree_n of_o faultiness_n in_o a_o sin_n although_o it_o come_v not_o to_o the_o outward_a deed_n the_o first_o be_v a_o fleet_a imagination_n or_o thought_n which_o a_o man_n conceive_v by_o the_o behold_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o thereupon_o some_o one_o toy_n or_o other_o will_v come_v in_o his_o head_n or_o else_o although_o he_o see_v nothing_o yet_o notwithstanding_o his_o

but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o impute_a unto_o we_o for_o sin_n the_o second_o degree_n be_v that_o upon_o the_o conceive_n of_o such_o a_o fancy_n we_o be_v somewhat_o tickle_v and_o feel_v that_o our_o will_n sway_v that_o way_n and_o although_o there_o be_v no_o consent_n or_o agree_a unto_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v some_o inward_a prick_n to_o provoke_v we_o unto_o it_o now_o that_o be_v a_o wicked_a sin_n and_o as_o it_o be_v already_o conceive_v afterward_o follow_v consent_n when_o we_o settle_v our_o will_n upon_o it_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o we_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o evil_a but_o the_o want_n of_o occasion_n and_o opportunity_n there_o you_o see_v the_o third_o degree_n and_o then_o be_v the_o sin_n full_o shape_v in_o we_o although_o there_o be_v no_o outward_a deed_n at_o all_o and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v a_o hard_a matter_n yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o woman_n but_o he_o find_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o and_o have_v experience_n of_o it_o from_o day_n to_o day_n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o be_v afflict_v it_o

incline_v unto_o evil_n as_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v such_o conceit_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v already_o a_o fault_n when_o such_o a_o thing_n do_v but_o come_v in_o their_o mind_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o chase_v it_o away_o and_o think_v
to_o be_v reserve_v undiminished_a unto_o god._n furthermore_o let_v man_n esteem_v as_o much_o of_o themselves_o as_o they_o list_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o shall_v feel_v god_n

remember_v in_o this_o strain_v but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o this_o look_v up_o too_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n that_o be_v too_o say_v man_n loftiness_n in_o presume_v upon_o themselves_o may_v be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o be_v when_o under_o colour_n of_o their_o riches_n or_o of_o some_o honour_n wherein_o they_o be_v place_v they_o forget_v themselves_o and_o think_v not_o any_o more_o that_o they_o be_v mortal_a creature_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o that_o point_n god_n may_v well_o punish_v such_o blind_a pride_n according_a as_o it_o be_v a_o fond_a thing_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v scorn_v of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o what_o be_v our_o life_n or_o what_o be_v all_o the_o appurtenance_n of_o it_o but_o there_o be_v a_o other_o manner_n of_o pride_n which_o be_v that_o man_n so_o flatter_v themselves_o as_o they_o think_v they_o have_v both_o wisdom_n and_o power_n too_o govern_v themselves_o and_o that_o they_o can_v deserve_v much_o to_o godward_n now_o when_o man_n presume_v so_o far_o of_o themselves_o as_o too_o challenge_v the_o praise_n of_o their_o own_o salvation_n they_o must_v needs_o stumble_v with_o a_o deadly_a fall_n because_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o himself_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v in_o state_n of_o damnation_n and_o utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n &_o that_o we_o shall_v recover_v no_o hope_n but_o only_o in_o his_o free_a goodness_n when_o this_o doctrine_n be_v deface_v it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o to_o exalt_v man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v bring_v too_o nought_o and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o man_n will_v put_v god_n honour_n to_o the_o spoil_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o cast_v down_o our_o head_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o can_v glory_v in_o god_n alone_o be_v beat_v down_o in_o ourselves_o and_o have_v correct_v the_o foolish_a self_n ween_v wherewith_o we_o be_v puff_v up_o god_n will_v relieve_v we_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o we_o may_v believe_v that_o all_o the_o good_n which_o he_o have_v do_v belong_v unto_o we_o have_v we_o nothing_o on_o our_o side_n god_n be_v rich_a enough_o to_o supply_v our_o want_n &_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o in_o any_o thing_n according_a as_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o although_o man_n be_v poor_a and_o wretched_a so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o whereof_o they_o may_v boast_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n be_v their_o glory_n and_o will_v cover_v all_o their_o uncleanness_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o go_v cheek_n by_o cheek_n with_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n as_o god_n child_n and_o member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o humility_n or_o lowliness_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o and_o when_o job_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v a_o other_o protestation_n which_o be_v that_o he_o

they_o yea_o and_o that_o he_o have_v so_o persist_v in_o that_o mind_n that_o he_o have_v not_o give_v ear_n too_o his_o household_n servant_n to_o provoke_v he_o to_o revenge_v but_o do_v nevertheless_o restrain_v himself_o notwithstanding_o that_o there_o come_v firebrand_n to_o move_v he_o thereunto_o you_o see_v then_o what_o this_o protestation_n of_o job_n contain_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o although_o man_n do_v bear_v he_o ill_o will_v &_o endeavour_v to_o hurt_v he_o &_o to_o put_v he_o to_o loss_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o render_v not_o like_a for_o like_v nor_o which_o more_o be_v nourish_v any_o secret_a hatred_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o this_o protestation_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o hard_a thing_n that_o god_n command_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o papacy_n have_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o falsify_v the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n willing_a of_o we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n be_v but_o a_o counsel_n &_o not_o a_o commandment_n what_o move_v they_o to_o use_v such_o blasphemy_n it_o be_v because_o they_o

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

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

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
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 we_o consider_v thorough_o whether_o we_o have_v walk_v as_o he_o command_v and_o whether_o we_o have_v not_o swerve_v from_o his_o word_n and_o if_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o

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 too_o feel_v how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n be_v and_o to_o examine_v well_o our_o own_o conscience_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o he_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v this_o that_o

and_o judge_v wrongful_o he_o appeal_v to_o the_o day_n of_o god_n i_o appeal_v say_v he_o to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o see_v that_o saint_n paul_n be_v constrain_v too_o use_v such_o

be_v so_o shameless_a that_o all_o be_v one_o with_o they_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o man_n by_o hook_n or_o by_o crook_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o go_v

a_o prince_n and_o undoubted_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o their_o judge_n when_o they_o be_v wrongful_o oppress_v by_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o dare_v more_o

that_o he_o be_v a_o transitory_a and_o frail_a man_n so_o that_o he_o can_v make_v job_n afraid_a nevertheless_o will_v he_o not_o win_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o by_o reason_n and_o

they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o consider_v in_o good_a earnest_n that_o look_v whatsoever_o they_o have_v they_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o heritage_n unto_o they_o but_o that_o they_o have_v their_o life_n &_o all_o the_o appurtenance_n thereof_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o preserve_v they_o then_o if_o man_n can_v first_o consider_v from_o whence_o

howbeit_o these_o be_v but_o flee_a confession_n hover_v in_o the_o air_n and_o we_o shall_v fare_v never_o the_o better_a by_o they_o if_o we_o go_v no_o further_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o apply_v these_o miracle_n of_o god_n to_o our_o own_o use_n that_o it_o may_v come_v to_o our_o remembrance_n after_o what_o sort_n god_n shall_v be_v great_a namely_o to_o

in_o himself_o i_o say_v when_o we_o know_v this_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v no_o more_o the_o vain_a trust_n to_o exalt_v ourselves_o neither_o shall_v we_o any_o more_o play_v the_o wild_a colt_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v but_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o grant_v god_n a_o infinite_a greatness_n &_o to_o know_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v nothing_o and_o for_o the_o better_a express_v hereof_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n answerenth_n not_o all_o word_n this_o import_v a_o great_a substance_n for_o eliu_n intend_v to_o show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v comprehend_v all_o thing_n as_o now_o because_o god_n list_v not_o to_o revele_v they_o unto_o we_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n which_o he_o mean_v and_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o god_n manifest_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o part_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v leave_v untaught_a in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a &_o expedient_a for_o we_o nevertheless_o he_o know_v our_o capacity_n &_o

understanding_n if_o we_o bear_v this_o lesson_n in_o mind_n we_o shall_v have_v profit_v well_o for_o one_o day_n behold_v god_n have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o charge_n and_o office_n to_o teach_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v negligent_a in_o hear_v see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o gracious_a to_o we_o as_o to_o be_v our_o master_n let_v we_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v his_o scholar_n and_o give_v diligent_a heed_n to_o that_o which_o he_o say_v howbeit_o let_v we_o mark_v therewithal_o that_o when_o he_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o schoolmaster_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v not_o to_o open_v unto_o we_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o will_v doubt_v of_o or_o whereof_o we_o will_v be_v inquisitive_a what_o they_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o know_v to_o be_v for_o our_o edify_n that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n and_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v three_o thing_n one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v have_v our_o ear_n open_a to_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n that_o god_n teach_v we_o and_o not_o be_v as_o brute_n beast_n when_o he_o do_v we_o that_o honour_n but_o apply_v our_o endeavour_n to_o profit_v under_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o point_n we_o must_v not_o do_v as_o the_o wretched_a papist_n do_v which_o will_v know_v nothing_o oh_o say_v they_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a matter_n to_o inquire_v of_o god_n secret_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o must_v come_v to_o it_o with_o lowliness_n &_o reverence_n but_o ought_v we_o therefore_o to_o have_v our_o ear_n stop_v or_o deaf_a when_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o always_o learn_v to_o be_v ready_a and_o willing_a to_o receive_v whatsoever_o be_v say_v or_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n second_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n will_v not_o show_v we_o all_o thing_n as_o now_o but_o we_o must_v content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o as_o now_o we_o know_v in_o part_n and_o see_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o glass_n and_o dark_o for_o as_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o full_a revelation_n for_o although_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o noon_n day_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o be_v refer_v to_o our_o measure_n god_n enlighten_v we_o there_o sufficient_o we_o see_v his_o face_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o we_o behold_v it_o to_o be_v transfigure_v into_o the_o same_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v we_o see_v not_o that_o which_o be_v prepare_v against_o the_o latter_a day_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o increase_v continual_o in_o faith_n but_o faith_n presuppose_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v yet_o hide_v according_a as_o we_o have_v the_o measure_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v if_o we_o have_v it_o in_o measure_n then_o be_v it_o not_o in_o perfection_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o the_o faithful_a during_o this_o present_a life_n aught_o to_o content_v themselves_o with_o some_o taste_n of_o god_n will_n and_o to_o know_v some_o portion_n of_o it_o but_o not_o all_o of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o have_v fond_a desire_n to_o say_v i_o will_v know_v all_o thing_n &_o be_v ignorant_a of_o nothing_o that_o be_v a_o mad_a wisdom_n and_o it_o be_v much_o better_o for_o we_o to_o be_v stark_a fool_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o the_o faithful_a must_v content_v themselves_o with_o that_o which_o be_v revel_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o be_v a_o far_o great_a and_o better_a wisdom_n than_o to_o be_v inquisitive_a of_o all_o thing_n without_o exception_n mark_v that_o for_o the_o second_o point_n and_o the_o three_o be_v that_o god_n hold_v of_o we_o at_o that_o point_n be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o be_v niggardly_o to_o show_v we_o his_o will_n any_o further_o but_o because_o he_o know_v what_o be_v convenient_a for_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n teach_v we_o for_o our_o edification_n what_o then_o be_v the_o measure_n of_o faith_n what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v the_o rule_n which_o god_n know_v to_o be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o man_n need_v not_o to_o complain_v if_o they_o may_v know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o have_v they_o declare_v unto_o they_o daily_o in_o sermon_n if_o man_n know_v that_o they_o need_v not_o to_o complain_v as_o though_o they_o have_v not_o understanding_n enough_o for_o look_v whatsoever_o be_v good_a and_o convenient_a for_o we_o our_o lord_n have_v declare_v it_o unto_o we_o so_o then_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v command_v his_o word_n to_o be_v bring_v unto_o we_o and_o will_v not_o hide_v any_o thing_n from_o we_o which_o may_v be_v for_o our_o salvation_n we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o thanks_n to_o give_v he_o for_o disclose_v himself_o so_o familiar_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o content_v ourselves_o rather_o than_o to_o be_v curious_a as_o we_o see_v many_o be_v which_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v search_v out_o of_o measure_n and_o the_o papist_n also_o have_v have_v the_o same_o so_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n they_o say_v oh_o we_o must_v not_o be_v inquisitive_a of_o god_n secret_n &_o under_o that_o colour_n they_o reject_v all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n &_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o have_v a_o foolish_a curiosity_n in_o seek_v thing_n that_o appertain_v not_o unto_o they_o and_o they_o be_v full_a of_o fond_a dotage_n too_o say_v what_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o how_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n do_v to_o be_v short_a nothing_o content_v they_o insomuch_o as_o the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n be_v no_o better_a unto_o they_o than_o
sacrifice_n which_o he_o have_v offer_v we_o be_v take_v and_o repute_v for_o righteous_a because_o the_o say_a sacrifice_n have_v the_o power_n to_o put_v away_o all_o fault_n and_o offence_n lo_o what_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mark_v in_o this_o place_n therefore_o when_o so_o ever_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o come_v too_o a_o sermon_n when_o any_o promise_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o then_o god_n warrant_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o death_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v and_o although_o we_o hear_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o that_o his_o voice_n be_v but_o a_o sound_n which_o disperse_v and_o vanish_v in_o the_o air_n yet_o must_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v work_v in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o power_n that_o the_o say_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a too_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v and_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v pass_v out_o of_o the_o bond_n of_o satan_n and_o be_v set_v clear_a before_o god_n and_o this_o say_n namely_o what_o so_o ever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v lose_a also_o in_o heaven_n can_v fail_v we_o and_o so_o we_o see_v of_o what_o importance_n this_o word_n be_v where_o it_o be_v say_v deliver_v the_o sinner_n or_o set_v the_o sinner_n free_a for_o when_o god_n give_v express_v charge_n to_o such_o as_o speak_v unto_o we_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o death_n that_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o paradise_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o his_o voice_n sound_v from_o heaven_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n saint_n james_n speak_v of_o private_a person_n say_v that_o he_o which_o warn_v his_o brother_n shall_v save_v a_o soul_n that_o be_v lose_v if_o this_o take_v place_n in_o all_o those_o that_o bring_v man_n into_o the_o good_a way_n when_o they_o be_v out_o of_o it_o what_o shall_v it_o do_v see_v we_o have_v the_o special_a zeal_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v to_o his_o word_n at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o same_o be_v preach_v to_o we_o by_o the_o shepherd_n of_o his_o

have_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n matthew_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v what_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v when_o we_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n from_o heaven_n too_o pull_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o this_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o pope_n for_o the_o

for_o they_o tie_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o shrift_n and_o where_o do_v god_n ever_o tell_v man_n that_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o shrive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o secret_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n too_o obtain_v mercy_n god_n declare_v that_o if_o the_o sinner_n sigh_v for_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o he_o but_o behold_v a_o mortal_a creature_n presume_v to_o make_v a_o law_n and_o to_o shut_v man_n out_o of_o paradyse_n if_o they_o observe_v it_o not_o be_v not_o that_o a_o notorious_a usurp_n of_o god_n power_n beside_o this_o the_o pope_n have_v his_o bulle●_n indulgence_n pardon_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n too_o ground_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n upon_o and_o therewithal_o he_o mingle_v the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n as_o he_o that_o mean_v express_o too_o deface_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v no_o

when_o the_o pope_n forgive_v sin_n he_o be_v dumb_a he_o bring_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o god_n word_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o thing_n but_o charm_n and_o sorcery_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o moreover_o he_o lay_v tyrannous_a law_n upon_o man_n neck_n to_o overthrow_v the_o mean_a which_o our_o lord_n have_v ordain_v again_o he_o abridge_v god_n himself_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o he_o to_o disappoint_v god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o receive_v sinner_n to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v the_o devil_n synagogue_n destitute_a

reconcile_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o say_v that_o man_n sin_n be_v forgive_v they_o by_o receive_v the_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o same_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o the_o ceremony_n that_o man_n have_v devise_v nor_o with_o the_o law_n which_o they_o have_v invent_v at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o only_o that_o we_o must_v follow_v

it_o do_v which_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o with_o assure_a faith_n therefore_o if_o we_o stick_v to_o that_o simplicity_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o commission_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o man_n take_v not_o ne_o usurp_v not_o any_o thing_n upon_o they_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o the_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v pity_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o then_o must_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o come_v from_o above_o and_o none_o but_o god_n only_o must_v work_v in_o this_o behalf_n by_o his_o free_a goodness_n according_a also_o as_o he_o himself_o protest_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v i_o be_o he_o i_o myself_o be_o he_o which_o wipe_v out_o thine_o iniquity_n oh_o israel_n then_o must_v such_o a_o benefit_n needs_o proceed_v from_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o creature_n too_o give_v it_o unto_o we_o now_o we_o see_v what_o substance_n there_o be_v in_o this_o text_n so_o it_o be_v well_o understand_v and_o immediate_o after_o it_o be_v say_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o soul_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o pit_n we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v near_o to_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o consume_v so_o long_o as_o god_n pursue_v they_o with_o rigour_n but_o now_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n prevent_v that_o mischief_n by_o send_v the_o say_a message_n of_o the_o release_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o grave_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o perish_v not_o for_o the_o case_n here_o stand_v not_o only_o upon_o temporal_a death_n but_o upon_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v if_o god_n do_v not_o prevent_v it_o and_o preserve_v we_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o while_o we_o be_v afflict_v we_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o darkness_n of_o death_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o get_v out_o of_o it_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o even_o in_o that_o time_n god_n sustain_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o covert_n and_o although_o we_o perceive_v not_o that_o we_o rest_v upon_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o show_v we_o that_o favour_n for_o without_o our_o knowledge_n it_o behove_v god_n to_o work_v in_o that_o behalf_n although_o we_o can_v conceive_v it_o and_o undoubted_o when_o we_o begin_v too_o take_v hold_v of_o his_o goodness_n by_o faith_n we_o must_v not_o lay_v the_o first_o point_n of_o our_o salvation_n there_o but_o we_o must_v mount_v up_o high_a namely_o that_o he_o choose_v we_o before_o we_o be_v bear_v
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 quarrel_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v but_o make_v our_o case_n the_o worse_a and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n do_v so_o bear_v with_o we_o through_o his_o goodness_n as_o we_o have_v always_o cause_n too_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v exceed_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o that_o he_o use_v no_o extreme_a rigour_n against_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v final_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o although_o he_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n yet_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o rough_a and_o sharp_a yet_o do_v he_o intermeddle_v his_o goodness_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v always_o righteous_a insomuch_o that_o man_n shall_v gain_v nothing_o when_o they_o think_v to_o quit_v themselves_o but_o the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n call_v we_o and_o allure_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o we_o fall_v to_o feel_n of_o our_o offence_n before_o the_o blow_n come_v and_o be_v sorry_a and_o mourn_v for_o they_o so_o as_o god_n may_v be_v incline_v to_o forgive_v we_o lo_n what_o we_o have_v in_o effect_n
speak_v not_o of_o thing_n unknown_a neither_o stand_v we_o here_o upon_o the_o examination_n of_o man_n thought_n nor_o of_o seek_v under_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v unknown_a too_o man_n but_o the_o world_n see_v that_o the_o mischief_n do_v so_o overflow_v as_o it_o be_v pitiful_a the_o very_a air_n stink_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o these_o good_a catholic_n that_o will_v be_v take_v for_o good_a christian_n and_o have_v always_o the_o gospel_n in_o their_o mouth_n yea_o too_o bite_v it_o like_o masty_a dog_n that_o be_v mad_a will_v that_o man_n shall_v still_o dissemble_v it_o and_o they_o think_v that_o man_n do_v they_o great_a wrong_n to_o discover_v their_o lewdness_n which_o to_o say_v truth_n be_v not_o discover_v by_o we_o but_o only_o speak_v of_o because_o all_o man_n know_v it_o yet_o nevertheless_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o that_o can_v nowadays_o abide_v that_o god_n shall_v lay_v open_a their_o lewdness_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o and_o repent_v it_o shall_v feel_v in_o the_o end_n that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o come_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n where_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o darkness_n nor_o mist_n to_o hide_v they_o so_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v great_o for_o our_o profit_n that_o god_n do_v nowadays_o send_v we_o his_o word_n too_o enlighten_v we_o that_o we_o may_v well_o bethink_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n insomuch_o that_o although_o we_o have_v not_o know_v they_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o they_o may_v come_v too_o our_o

stubborn_a and_o despise_v god_n and_o come_v like_o distraught_a man_n to_o justle_v against_o he_o and_o can_v abide_v any_o warning_n he_o must_v send_v they_o as_o unreasonable_a folk_n to_o the_o

they_o can_v now_o endure_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v they_o ashamed_a to_o the_o end_n to_o bury_v their_o sin_n for_o ever_o howbeit_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n both_o angel_n man_n and_o

we_o ought_v too_o apply_v this_o text_n too_o our_o instruction_n for_o sure_o our_o lord_n threatniug_v of_o man_n with_o the_o great_a day_n be_v too_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v prevent_v it_o and_o so_o the_o remedy_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v god_n delay_v not_o the_o indite_v of_o we_o till_o we_o appear_v before_o he_o altogether_o but_o he_o execute_v his_o

the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v then_o do_v god_n execute_v a_o sovereign_a jurisdiction_n not_o proper_o upon_o man_n body_n as_o they_o be_v at_o this_o day_n but_o upon_o their_o soul_n and_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v condemn_v there_o for_o our_o own_o welfare_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o see_v that_o god_n do_v so_o much_o and_o so_o often_o warn_v we_o that_o we_o must_v in_o the_o end_n come_v to_o the_o great_a light_n let_v we_o not_o still_o shut_v our_o eye_n wilful_o nor_o witting_o be_v blind_v when_o he_o send_v we_o his_o word_n to_o discover_v

that_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n before_o god_n for_o he_o will_v make_v we_o to_o behold_v those_o thing_n in_o his_o countenance_n and_o glorious_a majesty_n which_o we_o will_v not_o see_v here_o in_o the_o mirror_n of_o his_o word_n and_o eliu_n add_v immediate_o that_o he_o will_v not_o lay_v more_o upon_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n with_o he_o this_o text_n

of_o the_o rage_n that_o be_v in_o we_o which_o drive_v we_o too_o murmur_v against_o god_n for_o how_o do_v we_o plead_v with_o he_o it_o shall_v seem_v by_o we_o that_o there_o be_v some_o judge_n

even_o to_o show_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o although_o we_o have_v the_o power_n to_o city_v god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o make_v answer_n so_o

for_o it_o the_o end_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o upshot_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o god_n have_v not_o charge_v we_o too_o sore_o nor_o above_o reason_n and_o why_o because_o our_o sin_n be_v

as_o man_n fat_a ox_n and_o swine_n to_o the_o end_n to_o kill_v they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o a_o ox_n have_v be_v lean_a all_o his_o life_n long_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o kill_v he_o he_o

not_o the_o first_o day_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o hold_v they_o there_o still_o under_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o therefore_o this_o text_n belong_v not_o unto_o they_o but_o when_o

although_o god_n be_v offend_v with_o we_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o we_o perceive_v it_o not_o because_o of_o our_o dullness_n and_o therefore_o we_o heap_v sin_n upon_o sin_n and_o

that_o our_o return_v unto_o god_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v no_o more_o afflict_v we_o but_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v so_o gracious_a as_o too_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v nothing_o in_o we_o that_o may_v kindle_v he_o against_o we_o or_o displease_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o chastisement_n and_o correction_n which_o god_n send_v we_o be_v as_o stroke_n of_o a_o spur_n too_o prick_v we_o forward_o and_o when_o he_o see_v we_o dull_a he_o drive_v we_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o repentance_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v at_o this_o point_n to_o say_v well_o i_o be_o content_a so_o god_n withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o i_o no_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o for_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v very_o little_a if_o we_o get_v nothing_o but_o that_o what_o then_o let_v we_o go_v unto_o our_o god_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o to_o do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o that_o when_o we_o have_v be_v gentle_o chastise_v we_o may_v know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n double_v his_o stripe_n and_o strike_v much_o more_o rough_o upon_o we_o why_o so_o if_o a_o man_n be_v chastise_v he_o feel_v that_o god_n visit_v he_o and_o perceive_v all_o thing_n to_o go_v better_o with_o he_o so_o then_o a_o man_n humble_v

while_n the_o poor_a soul_n have_v no_o wit_n to_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o to_o search_v his_o own_o fault_n and_o to_o attain_v to_o so_o much_o reason_n as_o to_o say_v alas_o i_o must_v seek_v to_o recover_v the_o favour_n of_o my_o god_n he_o think_v it_o enough_o if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o press_v like_o a_o dog_n that_o do_v but_o shake_v his_o ear_n when_o he_o have_v escape_v with_o a_o blow_n of_o a_o cudgel_n such_o a_o one_o go_v not_o so_o far_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o rest_v at_o the_o outward_a part_n and_o therefore_o god_n follow_v with_o strike_v he_o still_o so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o light_o man_n dispatch_v themselves_o when_o god_n chastize_v they_o too_o make_v they_o come_v to_o repentance_n for_o they_o may_v well_o have_v some_o conceit_n of_o it_o but_o the_o same_o pass_v away_o out_o of_o hand_n now_o sith_o that_o god_n see_v that_o although_o a_o man_n perceive_v not_o his_o own_o harm_n yet_o the_o filthiness_n do_v settle_v still_o within_o he_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o press_v he_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o disease_n will_v increase_v if_o he_o purge_v it_o not_o to_o the_o bottom_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o do_v but_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o until_o that_o god_n have_v show_v we_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o desire_v he_o to_o give_v we_o health_n soundness_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o our_o flesh_n desire_v but_o also_o to_o blot_n our_o sin_n and_o to_o govern_v we_o so_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o we_o too_o provoke_v his_o displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o david_n and_o the_o other_o holy_a prophet_n when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o beat_v and_o torment_v

when_o god_n let_v we_o alone_o in_o peace_n although_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o a_o thousand_o way_n yet_o we_o cease_v not_o too_o soothe_v ourselves_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o

in_o his_o sin_n it_o stand_v we_o upon_o too_o suffer_v god_n patient_o too_o scourge_v we_o for_o affliction_n be_v the_o true_a schoolmistress_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o the_o

shall_v come_v far_o short_a of_o that_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o cry_v out_o with_o wonderment_n lord_n how_o marvellous_a be_v thy_o work_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o

in_o this_o case_n that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v common_a both_o to_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o true_o herein_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v god_n goodness_n the_o better_a according_a

east_n stand_v always_o in_o one_o certain_a coast_n yet_o notwithstanding_o man_n see_v that_o the_o sun_n rise_v sometime_o high_o and_o sometime_o low_o according_a to_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n in_o winter_n time_n because_o the_o sun_n be_v somewhat_o further_o off_o from_o we_o he_o rise_v in_o a_o further_a coast_n and_o again_o in_o summer_n time_n as_o he_o draw_v near_o to_o we_o so_o rise_v he_o high_o and_o high_o till_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v almost_o over_o our_o head_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o the_o east_n so_o also_o be_v the_o morning_n light_n now_o see_v there_o be_v such_o a_o order_n set_v out_o as_o it_o be_v by_o a_o pair_n of_o compass_n so_o as_o the_o sun_n swerve_v not_o one_o hearebreadth_n from_o the_o circuit_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v he_o but_o come_v always_o jump_o to_o the_o point_n be_v it_o not_o a_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v well_o wonder_v at_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sun_n never_o go_v out_o of_o his_o way_n insomuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n mark_v all_o thing_n well_o he_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v a_o diversity_n in_o every_o day_n of_o the_o year_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o he_o compare_v one_o thing_n with_o another_o yea_o even_o through_o the_o whole_a year_n he_o shall_v perceive_v that_o all_o go_v in_o one_o continual_a race_n so_o as_o though_o the_o sun_n rise_v at_o one_o point_n of_o the_o sky_n too_o day_n and_o at_o another_o too_o morrow_n and_o likewise_o do_v set_v yet_o when_o the_o year_n come_v about_o he_o return_v again_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o trace_n which_o he_o have_v continue_v ever_o since_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n keep_v his_o orderly_a course_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o a_o man_n can_v nothing_o near_o make_v a_o clock_n to_o keep_v so_o just_a compass_n as_o the_o sun_n do_v in_o his_o go_n about_o and_o what_o a_o mass_n be_v it_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n much_o great_a than_o the_o whole_a earth_n again_o it_o be_v very_o much_o if_o he_o have_v no_o great_a race_n too_o go_v throughout_o all_o the_o whole_a year_n than_o he_o go_v in_o one_o day_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o see_v that_o he_o keep_v his_o order_n so_o just_a be_v it_o not_o a_o thing_n that_o ought_v too_o ravish_v we_o into_o wonderment_n that_o we_o may_v honour_v the_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n of_o god_n yes_o if_o we_o be_v not_o worse_a than_o brute_n beast_n we_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o god_n make_v his_o dumb_a creature_n too_o sound_o by_o imprint_v his_o glory_n in_o they_o and_o we_o hear_v nothing_o of_o that_o melody_n so_o than_o it_o be_v long_o of_o nothing_o but_o of_o our_o own_o naughty_a lewdness_n that_o we_o take_v not_o hold_v of_o god_n glory_n which_o be_v visible_a to_o we_o and_o show_v itself_o to_o we_o in_o

and_o by_o that_o the_o break_v of_o the_o day_n spread_v abroad_o and_o light_v upon_o all_o the_o wing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v upon_o all_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n the_o word_n wing_n signify_v the_o border_n or_o utmost_a part_n of_o any_o thing_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o light_n cast_v itself_o abroad_o and_o spread_v over_o all_o the_o world_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v in_o it_o when_o we_o behold_v the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n we_o will_v say_v that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o great_a battle_n to_o

do_v no_o soon_o open_v his_o eyelid_n but_o he_o shed_v forth_o his_o light_n over_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o anon_o after_o the_o sun_n come_v to_o take_v possession_n of_o

so_o swift_o as_o we_o canscarce_o conceive_v it_o in_o thought_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n the_o sun_n strike_v in_o his_o beam_n &_o the_o darkness_n be_v drive_v quite_o away_o now_o
