too_o seek_v out_o the_o say_a herb_n let_v we_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o that_o knowledge_n and_o who_o have_v be_v the_o physician_n of_o the_o hind_n in_o what_o school_n have_v they_o learn_v the_o skill_n to_o seek_v out_o a_o herb_n and_o to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o their_o delivery_n and_o for_o the_o void_v of_o their_o young_a one_o out_o of_o their_o body_n who_o have_v show_v it_o they_o who_o have_v be_v their_o teacher_n aught_v not_o god_n to_o be_v know_v and_o glorify_v in_o this_o case_n so_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o these_o particular_a

to_o ourselves_o for_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v know_v god_n goodness_n power_n wisdom_n and_o justice_n according_a as_o they_o be_v show_v unto_o they_o and_o as_o they_o perceive_v they_o and_o be_v partaker_n of_o they_o therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o call_a time_n of_o the_o hind_n be_v not_o know_v unto_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o appoint_v it_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v not_o try_v mastery_n with_o god_n in_o go_v about_o too_o wrest_n ourselves_o out_o of_o his_o

enough_o know_a how_o long_a time_n hind_n do_v go_v with_o calf_n and_o man_n may_v judge_v it_o by_o certain_a conjecture_n not_o that_o man_n do_v look_v so_o narrow_o to_o it_o but_o if_o a_o

month_n or_o their_o day_n we_o be_v skilful_a folk_n now_o then_o see_v that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o hind_n to_o go_v with_o calf_n full_a such_o a_o time_n and_o that_o when_o the_o term_n be_v expire_v he_o deliver_v they_o give_v they_o help_n and_o guide_v the_o matter_n as_o he_o himself_o have_v ordain_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o he_o have_v reserve_v the_o lordship_n of_o all_o beast_n to_o himself_o and_o that_o in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o feed_v they_o in_o their_o dam_n belly_n he_o hold_v they_o in_o subjection_n after_o they_o be_v come_v forth_o so_o as_o he_o guide_v they_o at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o when_o we_o have_v so_o think_v upon_o the_o beast_n let_v we_o come_v too_o ourselves_o i_o will_v fain_o start_v out_o to_o play_v the_o suttleheaded_a fellow_n in_o reply_v against_o god_n say_v why_o do_v god_n deal_v thus_o or_o thus_o with_o i_o why_o do_v he_o not_o send_v i_o my_o own_o desire_n but_o when_o we_o enter_v into_o such_o murmur_n to_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o after_o that_o fashion_n against_o god_n let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o our_o birth_n and_o say_v alas_o how_o come_v thou_o out_o of_o thy_o mother_n

of_o all_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o our_o wicked_a affection_n which_o serve_v to_o turn_v we_o aside_o from_o god_n then_o afterward_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o lewd_a

if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o altogether_o peaceable_a the_o other_o sort_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o although_o a_o â–ª_o man_n chafe_n against_o god_n and_o resist_v he_o yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o

in_o this_o world_n be_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v bliss_n he_o because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o have_v a_o

point_n it_o seem_v that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o name_n to_o be_v blaspheme_v what_o can_v they_o do_v who_o he_o handle_v so_o rigorous_o when_o they_o see_v death_n before_o their_o eye_n or_o rather_o have_v it_o between_o their_o tooth_n they_o can_v not_o but_o fret_v and_o chafe_v at_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v a_o occasion_n of_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o here_o we_o have_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o give_v we_o some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o affliction_n we_o may_v still_o praise_v he_o and_o rejoice_v in_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o restrain_v our_o joy_n &_o turn_v they_o into_o bitterness_n but_o there_o be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o blessing_n of_o god_n name_n and_o blaspheme_v of_o it_o which_o mean_a be_v to_o call_v upon_o he_o when_o we_o be_v oppress_v with_o adversity_n and_o to_o resort_v unto_o he_o desire_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o unto_o mercy_n but_o man_n can_v never_o keep_v this_o mean_a except_o god_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o it_o of_o himself_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o whensoever_o god_n send_v we_o any_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o make_v we_o taste_v of_o his_o goodness_n therewithal_o to_o assuage_v the_o anguish_n that_o may_v hold_v our_o heart_n in_o distress_n how_o be_v that_o we_o have_v show_v heretofore_o that_o if_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n former_a benefit_n towards_o they_o yea_o though_o it_o be_v but_o in_o that_o he_o have_v sustain_v they_o from_o their_o childhood_n after_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o their_o mother_n womb_n and_o give_v they_o life_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o comfort_v they_o even_o when_o they_o be_v overload_v with_o despair_n and_o to_o make_v they_o think_v may_v not_o god_n punish_v we_o just_o for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o bear_v patient_o the_o adversity_n that_o he_o send_v and_o nature_n teach_v we_o so_o to_o do_v forasmuch_o as_o he_o bestow_v so_o many_o
hate_v our_o life_n or_o for_o that_o we_o be_v weary_a to_o be_v hold_v here_o because_o we_o be_v handle_v over_o rigorous_o but_o we_o must_v bear_v our_o lot_n patient_o in_o wait_v god_n leisure_n to_o deliver_v we_o and_o we_o see_v that_o paul_n hold_v the_o self_n same_o measure_n when_o he_o say_v to_o the_o roman_n alas_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o mortal_a body_n for_o i_o be_o unhappy_a but_o yet_o therewithal_o he_o say_v thank_n be_v to_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n lo_o here_o how_o saint_n paul_n on_o the_o one_o side_n call_v himself_o unhappy_a and_o desire_v to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v content_v and_o at_o rest_n because_o god_n preserve_v he_o and_o he_o know_v that_o god_n will_v never_o forsake_v he_o howbeit_o that_o he_o be_v subject_n to_o many_o misery_n we_o see_v here_o his_o contentation_n and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o whole_a let_v we_o mark_v how_o job_n have_v do_v amiss_o in_o two_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o not_o have_v the_o regard_n that_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v in_o desire_a death_n and_o also_o in_o not_o keep_v measure_n here_o we_o see_v two_o fault_n that_o be_v very_o gross_a when_o i_o say_v that_o job_n have_v not_o his_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o the_o mark_n that_o he_o ought_v i_o mean_v that_o his_o wysh_n for_o death_n be_v not_o because_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o miserable_a sinner_n and_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o perfection_n which_o all_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o labour_v for_o but_o because_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o the_o nip_a grief_n as_o well_o which_o he_o present_o endure_v in_o his_o person_n as_o which_o he_o have_v sustain_v before_o in_o his_o god_n and_o so_o he_o desire_v death_n because_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n press_v he_o oversore_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o first_o fault_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o but_o if_o we_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o own_o use_n it_o will_v be_v yet_o better_o understand_v and_o apparent_a if_o a_o man_n search_v and_o try_v himself_o thorough_o and_o think_v thus_o with_o himself_o i_o be_o give_v to_o such_o a_o vice_n and_o i_o fight_v against_o it_o but_o i_o can_v not_o come_v to_o my_o purpose_n and_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o for_o one_o vice_n alone_o but_o i_o have_v two_o or_o

myself_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o i_o be_v not_o utter_o vanquish_v i_o see_v i_o must_v be_v much_o more_o earnest_a in_o serve_v god_n and_o in_o fight_v against_o the_o world_n and_o i_o own_o flesh_n as_o it_o be_v very_o requisite_a i_o shall_v be_v for_o i_o be_o hold_v back_o and_o hinder_v by_o my_o own_o lust_n i_o say_v if_o a_o man_n acknowledge_v himself_o such_o a_o one_o after_o he_o have_v well_o examine_v his_o life_n he_o say_v thereupon_o yea_o my_o god_n i_o see_v myself_o in_o miserable_a plight_n and_o when_o shall_v i_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o it_o for_o needs_o must_v i_o bear_v sin_n in_o i_o and_o although_o it_o reign_v not_o in_o i_o yet_o do_v it_o dwell_v in_o i_o and_o what_o else_o be_v sin_n but_o the_o divelles_n sceptre_n whereby_o he_o reign_v over_o we_o then_o be_o i_o the_o bondslave_n of_o satan_n and_o of_o death_n oh_o my_o god_n must_v i_o tarry_v evermore_o in_o this_o weerysome_n plight_n a_o christian_a man_n may_v well_o have_v such_o sigh_n and_o beseech_v god_n to_o set_v he_o free_a from_o such_o a_o bondage_n wherein_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o be_v but_o if_o the_o matter_n concern_v adversity_n we_o must_v regard_v neither_o cold_a nor_o heat_n nor_o poverty_n nor_o sickness_n but_o we_o must_v have_v our_o eye_n only_o on_o our_o sin_n and_o special_o when_o god_n punish_v we_o in_o what_o wise_a soever_o it_o be_v we_o must_v mount_n up_o high_o without_o any_o rest_n upon_o the_o bodily_a adversity_n and_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o behold_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v do_v against_o god_n will_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v show_v himself_o a_o judge_n towards_o we_o when_o we_o have_v thus_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n the_o same_o work_v a_o remorse_n in_o we_o and_o provoke_v we_o to_o conceive_v the_o sorrow_n whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v and_o thus_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n but_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o think_v as_o afore_o be_v say_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o wish_v death_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o i_o have_v erst_o show_v but_o it_o be_v hove_v also_o to_o keep_v measure_n i_o say_v we_o must_v

to_o be_v quiet_a even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o those_o complaint_n and_o long_n and_o why_o so_o for_o he_o see_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o master_n and_o govern_v

shall_v not_o only_o be_v the_o ready_a to_o endure_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o world_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v both_o in_o our_o person_n and_o in_o

that_o as_o for_o himself_o it_o shall_v be_v far_o better_o for_o he_o to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o for_o your_o sake_n say_v he_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o i_o live_v because_o

to_o submit_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o god_n pleasure_n as_o while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n they_o may_v not_o only_o bear_v their_o affliction_n patient_o but_o also_o be_v

thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v but_o what_o this_o lesson_n be_v not_o yet_o understand_v for_o asmuch_o as_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o put_v it_o in_o ure_n for_o if_o god_n

at_o god_n pleasure_n so_o as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o will_n but_o so_o as_o we_o may_v make_v as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o it_o in_o that_o behalf_n that_o our_o live_n may_v

it_o be_v always_o at_o thy_o commandment_n too_o dispose_v of_o it_o at_o thine_o own_o pleasure_n behold_v i_o say_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o deal_v in_o this_o case_n and_o heerewithall_o let_v

therefore_o to_o comfort_v our_o slue_n withal_o we_o must_v practice_v this_o lesson_n in_o all_o our_o trouble_n and_o encumbrance_n which_o be_v that_o though_o the_o wicked_a be_v in_o their_o

and_o man_n clap_v their_o hand_n at_o they_o on_o all_o side_n we_o must_v curse_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v with_o ourselves_o that_o all_o this_o be_v

else_o seek_v but_o too_o catch_v we_o at_o advantage_n and_o too_o wind_n about_o we_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v a_o tempt_a of_o we_o too_o do_v the_o like_a and_o to_o say_v in_o ourselves_o i_o have_v too_o do_v with_o a_o subtle_a fox_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o keep_v good_a watch_n and_o how_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n against_o he_o that_o be_v wily_a and_o double_a wily_a as_o they_o say_v in_o the_o proverb_n behold_v how_o we_o be_v give_v to_o decline_v unto_o evil_n and_o to_o make_v two_o devil_n for_o one_o as_o the_o proverb_n say_v when_o we_o be_v so_o assail_v by_o the_o naughtiness_n of_o man_n but_o there_o be_v no_o way_n too_o hold_v we_o in_o obedience_n unto_o god_n and_o too_o make_v we_o too_o walk_v on_o in_o simplicity_n and_o soundness_n but_o by_o acknowledge_v god_o too_o be_v our_o buckler_n and_o that_o he_o will_v provide_v well_o enough_o for_o all_o mischief_n that_o be_v prepare_v against_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o defend_v ourselves_o yea_o very_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o god_n give_v leave_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n so_o we_o step_v not_o aside_o from_o the_o uprightness_n which_o he_o command_v and_o that_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o use_v not_o any_o guile_n nor_o practice_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v when_o we_o proceed_v after_o this_o manner_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v well_o enough_o find_v mean_n to_o dispatch_v all_o the_o enterprise_n of_o such_o as_o think_v to_o catch_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o pitfall_n by_o their_o craftiness_n god_n then_o will_v provide_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o and_o furthemore_n there_o be_v nothing_o speak_v here_o which_o we_o find_v not_o daily_o by_o experience_n for_o if_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v at_o any_o time_n deceive_v they_o know_v that_o if_o god_n hold_v they_o not_o under_o his_o protection_n to_o save_v they_o from_o the_o snare_n and_o begin_v of_o such_o as_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o wound_n about_o they_o they_o shall_v be_v overtake_v at_o every_o blow_n not_o only_o in_o some_o small_a thing_n but_o also_o in_o all_o their_o whole_a life_n we_o see_v this_o well_o enough_o so_o then_o see_v we_o have_v such_o a_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o better_o confirm_v thereby_o as_o how_o when_o any_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o himself_o we_o have_v skill_n enough_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o naughtiness_n in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o a_o man_n can_v not_o tell_v who_o he_o may_v trust_v on_o which_o side_n so_o ever_o a_o man_n turn_v himself_o he_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v deceive_v we_o be_v come_v to_o such_o a_o confusion_n as_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n nor_o trustiness_n neither_o in_o kinsfolk_n nor_o in_o friend_n well_o then_o sith_o that_o every_o man_n make_v such_o complaint_n if_o we_o be_v not_o beguile_v let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o defend_v we_o for_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v beguile_v at_o every_o blow_n and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o then_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o remedy_v it_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v preserve_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n have_v avouch_v it_o to_o be_v his_o office_n to_o make_v the_o device_n of_o the_o wicked_a to_o vanish_v away_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o execute_v their_o attempt_n true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o god_n give_v the_o wicked_a man_n strength_n too_o execute_v their_o device_n yet_o he_o be_v well_o able_a to_o prevent_v all_o their_o practice_n and_o too_o overthrow_v they_o everywhichone_o for_o as_o he_o say_v anon_o after_o he_o overtake_v the_o wise_n in_o their_o own_o wiliness_n sometime_o god_n blind_v they_o that_o ween_v themselves_o too_o be_v very_o subtle_a and_o cunning_a so_o as_o he_o make_v they_o to_o be_v naked_a lo_o here_o one_o way_n which_o he_o have_v to_o save_v those_o that_o be_v he_o but_o albeit_o that_o he_o let_v the_o wicked_a man_n run_v upon_o the_o bridle_n albeit_o that_o they_o have_v many_o device_n and_o albeit_o that_o it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v by_o any_o mean_n escape_v their_o hand_n yet_o notwithstanding_o even_o when_o god_o shall_v have_v give_v they_o such_o liberty_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v in_o the_o end_n that_o all_o this_o gear_n shall_v vanish_v away_o and_o that_o when_o they_o be_v even_o at_o the_o point_n too_o set_v all_o their_o practice_n abroach_o and_o too_o say_v we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o do_v you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v proceed_v even_o than_o all_o their_o device_n shall_v wash_v away_o therefore_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v set_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o readiness_n and_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v conclude_v upon_o their_o matter_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n but_o their_o device_n shall_v come_v too_o effect_n god_n will_v mock_v they_o and_o a_o man_n will_v wonder_v too_o see_v how_o all_o thing_n shall_v fall_v out_o clean_o contrary_a too_o that_o which_o they_o imagine_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o perceive_v how_o this_o be_v do_v and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v know_v how_o god_n work_v after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n and_o therefore_o that_o his_o gracious_a goodness_n must_v needs_o appear_v the_o better_a thereby_o towards_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o in_o effect_n namely_o that_o god_n suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o have_v store_n of_o wile_n and_o subtle_a device_n so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o they_o shall_v utter_o overthrow_v the_o whole_a church_n or_o else_o that_o if_o they_o go_v about_o to_o oppress_v some_o one_o man_n or_o two_o or_o three_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o they_o can_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v resist_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v flee_v to_o our_o god_n to_o say_v well_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a we_o see_v our_o enemy_n have_v store_n of_o guile_n if_o the_o matter_n come_v to_o incounter_v with_o they_o by_o subtle_a shift_n and_o policy_n we_o shall_v be_v far_o overmatch_v and_o utter_o undo_v but_o what_o for_o that_o now_o come_v thy_o turn_n to_o dash_n all_o their_o device_n and_o to_o make_v they_o flee_v away_o in_o the_o air_n so_o as_o they_o may_v not_o have_v any_o power_n in_o their_o hand_n to_o put_v they_o in_o execution_n behold_v how_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n unto_o god_n and_o stick_v to_o the_o promise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v we_o here_o therefore_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v suffer_v the_o wicked_a sort_n to_o debate_v what_o they_o list_v in_o their_o mind_n and_o to_o undertake_v this_o
to_o do_v it_o or_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o devise_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o strengthen_v they_o withal_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o god_n will_v maintain_v the_o case_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o at_o length_n show_v that_o the_o truth_n be_v certain_a i_o say_v the_o wicked_a shall_v do_v their_o endeavour_n yea_o and_o sometime_o they_o shall_v seem_v to_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n but_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n punish_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o saint_n paul_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o the_o wicked_a and_o such_o as_o annoy_v the_o church_n shall_v go_v on_o and_o prevail_v and_o increase_v and_o how_o be_v that_o be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o god_n give_v satan_n the_o bridle_n and_o suffer_v the_o devil_n champion_n to_o advance_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o but_o god_n suffer_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o we_o see_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v willing_o be_v deceive_v and_o which_o be_v grieve_v when_o man_n teach_v they_o in_o all_o pureness_n who_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o god_n word_n be_v so_o confuse_v yea_o even_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o a_o man_n may_v not_o know_v nor_o discern_v aught_o but_o that_o it_o have_v two_o face_n in_o one_o hood_n as_o they_o say_v othersome_a although_o they_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v one_o say_v the_o truth_n yet_o they_o have_v no_o great_a care_n too_o be_v thorough_o root_v in_o it_o all_o be_v one_o too_o they_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n see_v in_o the_o one_o sort_n such_o a_o maliciousness_n and_o in_o the_o other_o sort_n such_o a_o carelessness_n that_o it_o turn_v even_o to_o a_o open_a rebelliousness_n and_o many_o man_n quench_v the_o light_n that_o god_n set_v before_o they_o do_v we_o marvel_v if_o he_o slack_v the_o bridle_n too_o the_o wicked_a and_o too_o those_o that_o turn_v the_o truth_n into_o lie_v and_o utter_o deface_v it_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n strengthen_v and_o maintain_v those_o to_o the_o end_n who_o he_o have_v teach_v his_o truth_n and_o so_o you_o see_v wherefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o faultfinder_n may_v well_o strain_v themselves_o howbeit_o in_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v be_v vanquish_v and_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o too_o be_v on_o that_o side_n where_o good_a right_n be_v and_o this_o be_v speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o also_o of_o all_o that_o ever_o concern_v the_o life_n of_o the_o faithful_a true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n be_v one_o of_o the_o pretious_a thing_n that_o god_n have_v and_o therefore_o you_o see_v also_o that_o he_o will_v show_v the_o power_n thereof_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o will_v destroy_v the_o wicked_a by_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o they_o shall_v feel_v that_o the_o say_a word_n which_o they_o have_v despise_v be_v a_o sword_n too_o slay_v they_o with_o and_o to_o drive_v they_o into_o damnation_n then_o behove_v it_o god_n to_o utter_v his_o power_n in_o this_o behalf_n above_o al._n but_o yet_o in_o other_o do_n whensoever_o we_o be_v wrongful_o oppress_v by_o man_n and_o that_o whereas_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v sustain_v it_o shall_v seem_v that_o all_o go_v clean_o backward_a yet_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o trust_v still_o in_o god_n and_o why_o for_o we_o may_v perhaps_o be_v little_o set_v by_o for_o a_o time_n and_o we_o may_v be_v abhor_v as_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o we_o but_o let_v we_o be_v content_v too_o have_v god_n and_o his_o angel_n too_o be_v good_a witness_n of_o our_o soundness_n let_v we_o tarry_v till_o god_n chase_n away_o all_o droopy_a darkness_n and_o make_v our_o innocence_n to_o shine_v out_o that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v as_o the_o break_n of_o the_o day_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_n and_o by_o and_o by_o job_n add_v that_o his_o friend_n which_o come_v to_o he_o under_o pretence_n to_o comfort_v he_o have_v frame_v talk_n to_o

those_o of_o extreme_a spitefulness_n which_o proceed_v so_o eager_o against_o he_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o point_n for_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n show_v we_o here_o what_o we_o have_v to_o beware_v of_o if_o we_o be_v loath_a to_o displease_v god_n &_o will_v not_o make_v as_o it_o be_v open_a war_n against_o he_o behold_v i_o say_v a_o vice_n that_o be_v

be_v afflict_v to_o the_o worldward_n and_o when_o there_o be_v such_o presumptuousness_n in_o we_o as_o we_o will_v provoke_v they_o to_o cast_v themselves_o into_o despair_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o vice_n so_o over_o rife_a as_o this_o and_o why_o so_o because_o no_o man_n think_v of_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v here_o namely_o that_o when_o man_n forge_v such_o invention_n that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o they_o devise_v thing_n to_o overthrow_v all_o equity_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v and_o to_o make_v such_o krink_v as_o the_o truth_n may_v not_o be_v know_v any_o more_o nor_o take_v place_n any_o more_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o come_v too_o justle_v against_o god_n and_o take_v he_o to_o be_v their_o adversary_n party_n now_o then_o if_o man_n will_v think_v themselves_o to_o say_v thus_o how_o no_o we_o we_o bid_v battle_n unto_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a they_o will_v be_v so_o afraid_a as_o their_o hair_n will_v stand_v up_o upon_o their_o head_n so_o as_o it_o will_v be_v a_o bridle_n to_o they_o to_o hold_v they_o in_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o fling_v themselves_o out_o so_o at_o random_n but_o sith_o that_o we_o think_v so_o little_a of_o it_o at_o leastwise_o let_v we_o receive_v that_o which_o god_n show_v we_o see_v that_o he_o give_v we_o warning_n in_o this_o strain_v you_o see_v then_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o we_o shall_v delay_v our_o answer_n until_o we_o know_v what_o the_o matter_n be_v we_o see_v there_o be_v some_o

of_o discretion_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v what_o the_o truth_n be_v and_o when_o we_o have_v find_v it_o let_v we_o not_o reply_v against_o it_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o most_o man_n overshoot_v themselves_o unadvised_o because_o they_o know_v not_o that_o it_o be_v god_n against_o who_o they_o set_v themselves_o by_o mean_n whereof_o they_o cease_v not_o too_o proceed_v in_o it_o with_o a_o evil_a conscience_n for_o although_o they_o be_v not_o direct_o mind_v to_o say_v i_o will_v go_v justle_n against_o god_n yet_o they_o see_v well_o enough_o that_o god_n give_v

as_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o they_o have_v conspire_v to_o shut_v all_o equity_n and_o uprightness_n out_o of_o door_n
like_a befall_v to_o job_n child_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v not_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o person_n here_o we_o must_v not_o only_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v that_o

the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o god_n send_v all_o rebel_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o some_o be_v to_o be_v find_v so_o foolish_a and_o madbrayn_v as_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o maintain_v the_o case_n of_o the_o wicked_a against_o god_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n shall_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o creature_n let_v

at_o large_a already_o namely_o that_o if_o any_o notorious_a sin_n be_v punish_v before_o our_o eye_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o god_n warn_v we_o and_o set_v they_o before_o we_o as_o lively_a picture_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinth_n so_o as_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o be_v full_a of_o blasphemy_n and_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n that_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n abide_v neither_o yoke_n nor_o discipline_n but_o be_v altogether_o awlesse_a if_o we_o see_v a_o worldling_n a_o lecher_n a_o rioter_n or_o a_o person_n of_o lewd_a and_o loce_fw-la life_n if_o we_o see_v a_o drunkard_n or_o if_o we_o see_v a_o naughty_a pack_n that_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o deceive_v one_o and_o too_o spoil_v another_o of_o their_o good_n and_o if_o god_n perform_v and_o execute_v upon_o such_o a_o one_o the_o vengeance_n that_o he_o declare_v in_o his_o law_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o

long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o calamity_n and_o affliction_n which_o god_n send_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v look_v if_o there_o be_v any_o evident_a sign_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o yield_v ourselves_o conformable_a unto_o

too_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n visit_v we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o make_v we_o to_o pine_v away_o although_o we_o be_v oppress_v so_o mighty_o that_o our_o life_n shall_v be_v more_o tedious_a and_o bitter_a to_o we_o than_o a_o thousand_o death_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o still_o give_v we_o time_n of_o repentance_n and_o if_o we_o return_v unto_o he_o out_o of_o hand_n we_o shall_v find_v he_o thorough_o ready_a too_o receive_v we_o and_o that_o be_v will_v make_v the_o dwell_a place_n our_o righteousness_n peaceable_a yea_o very_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o bring_v a_o pure_a and_o rightmeen_a heart_n with_o we_o behold_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n for_o thereby_o man_n be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o gracious_a goodness_n that_o god_n do_v to_o they_o and_o the_o favour_n that_o he_o show_v they_o in_o that_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o too_o be_v quite_o cut_v away_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n but_o let_v they_o alone_o still_o in_o this_o life_n true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o a_o languish_a as_o job_n be_v in_o will_v be_v far_o hard_a and_o grievous_a than_o death_n and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o when_o job_n look_v no_o further_o but_o too_o his_o own_o state_n he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o be_v hang_v for_o you_o see_v he_o have_v so_o speak_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n if_o we_o cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o end_n that_o god_n am_z at_o and_o upon_o the_o mark_n that_o he_o set_v before_o we_o also_o then_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o all_o our_o sorrow_n be_v assuage_v and_o why_o we_o shall_v feel_v that_o he_o have_v yet_o still_o pity_n upon_o we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n feel_v here_o as_o it_o be_v his_o hell_n and_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v comfort_v he_o have_v the_o horrible_a terror_n of_o feeling_n god_n to_o be_v against_o he_o and_o to_o be_v his_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o that_o hereupon_o he_o have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o fire_n burn_v in_o his_o mind_n well_o when_o a_o poor_a man_n feel_v such_o anguish_n and_o therewithal_o do_v in_o his_o person_n suffer_v on_o the_o one_o side_n slander_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n so_o great_a pain_n and_o assault_n as_o shall_v be_v intolerable_a true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o say_v poor_a man_n may_v at_o the_o first_o brunt_n wish_v and_o desire_v death_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v require_v no_o better_o than_o too_o pass_v through_o fire_n water_n and_o sword_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v that_o such_o as_o be_v overtake_v with_o this_o dread_n of_o god_n will_v have_v the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v turn_v upside_o down_o to_o overwhelm_v they_o but_o what_o for_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o consideration_n too_o say_v i_o perceive_v that_o my_o god_n do_v here_o offer_v i_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o i_o shall_v draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v scourge_v at_o his_o hand_n he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o with_o sweet_a and_o amiable_a voice_n encourage_v we_o to_o come_v too_o he_o with_o assure_a promise_n that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o gracious_a and_o pitiful_a
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 effect_n will_v show_v it_o it_o be_v good_a therefore_o that_o thing_n shall_v go_v so_o and_o why_o if_o there_o be_v none_o other_o reason_n than_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o and_o here_o we_o must_v also_o rehearse_v other_o text_n of_o scripture_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v much_o more_o precious_a than_o corruptible_a metal_n so_o that_o if_o gold_n and_o silver_n must_v pass_v through_o the_o fire_n too_o be_v fyne_v from_o their_o dross_n our_o faith_n must_v also_o be_v try_v so_o much_o the_o more_o thorrowlye_o as_o it_o be_v more_o precious_a before_o god_n and_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v do_v by_o affliction_n mark_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a for_o this_o text_n which_o be_v that_o god_n dare_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o wicked_a favour_v they_o and_o show_v himself_o too_o be_v their_o friend_n and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o will_v not_o show_v his_o

ever_o they_o shall_v be_v set_v up_o again_o god_n then_o may_v well_o do_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o fulfil_v that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o reach_v not_o his_o hand_n unto_o the_o wicked_a and_o why_o for_o all_o the_o good_n which_o they_o have_v and_o all_o that_o ever_o they_o delight_v in_o

in_o the_o mid_n of_o their_o distress_n when_o god_n press_v upon_o they_o if_o he_o hear_v they_o they_o will_v think_v they_o be_v still_o shake_v off_o and_o that_o god_n be_v not_o mind_v to_o

in_o deed_n he_o be_v there_o in_o extremity_n as_o the_o party_n that_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o for_o a_o while_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

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

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

who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n then_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n laugh_v at_o we_o but_o let_v we_o rather_o too_o consider_v that_o his_o discountenaunce_v of_o the_o

what_o job_n declare_v here_o concern_v the_o creation_n of_o man_n and_o concern_v god_n grace_n whereby_o they_o be_v maintain_v in_o their_o state_n then_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o special_a point_n

so_o see_v that_o god_n persecute_v i_o so_o sharp_o as_o i_o have_v no_o cause_n nor_o respite_n by_o any_o mean_n but_o be_o utter_o confound_v and_o whereas_o job_n say_v wherefore_o have_v thou_o

but_o the_o popish_a doctor_n say_v that_o that_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o so_o to_o say_v be_v a_o great_a beastliness_n in_o they_o they_o hold_v opinion_n that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v provoke_v in_o

many_o sin_n or_o else_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o too_o rebel_n against_o god_n and_o too_o have_v transgress_v his_o commandment_n you_o see_v then_o a_o thing_n against_o nature_n

that_o he_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n do_v take_v we_o to_o mercy_n let_v we_o understand_v then_o that_o when_o so_o ever_o our_o flesh_n tempt_v we_o unto_o evil_n although_o there_o be_v

life_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v always_o be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o this_o proverb_n which_o be_v common_a among_o the_o heathen_a or_o at_o jest_n wise_a among_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n never_o to_o be_v bear_v or_o else_o to_o die_v out_o of_o hand_n they_o that_o have_v reckon_v the_o misery_n and_o inconvenience_n whereto_o we_o be_v subject_a while_o we_o live_v here_o by_o low_a have_v thought_n how_o now_o it_o be_v better_o for_o man_n never_o to_o be_v bear_v for_o what_o else_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o their_o life_n but_o weep_v and_o wail_v the_o little_a babe_n before_o they_o have_v any_o understanding_n do_v show_v there_o be_v such_o a_o seagulfe_n of_o misery_n in_o we_o as_o it_o be_v a_o pity_n and_o terror_n to_o behold_v and_o afterward_o as_o we_o grow_v in_o year_n so_o do_v our_o misery_n increase_v in_o number_n and_o quantity_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_o for_o man_n that_o they_o may_v never_o be_v bear_v and_o if_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v bear_v it_o be_v good_a for_o they_o too_o die_v quick_o that_o they_o may_v have_v no_o long_a journey_n to_o make_v and_o this_o talk_n have_v partly_o some_o reason_n howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o without_o unthankfulness_n and_o why_o so_o for_o although_o the_o misery_n be_v innumerable_a wherewith_o man_n be_v oppress_v yet_o must_v we_o weigh_v they_o in_o the_o balance_n with_o the_o honour_n that_o god_n do_v we_o in_o make_v we_o lord_n over_o his_o creature_n to_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o here_o below_o as_o his_o child_n who_o he_o make_v to_o feel_v he_o as_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o moreover_o because_o his_o set_n of_o we_o here_o in_o this_o world_n be_v to_o advance_v we_o aloft_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o the_o heavenly_a life_n whereof_o he_o give_v we_o some_o perceiverance_n and_o feel_n afore_o hand_n if_o this_o be_v thorough_o know_v sure_o it_o overcome_v all_o the_o misery_n and_o trouble_n that_o can_v happen_v to_o man_n in_o this_o world_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o this_o sentence_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v best_o for_o man_n not_o to_o be_v bear_v at_o all_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o some_o reason_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o without_o unthankfulness_n for_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v what_o god_n give_v we_o to_o recompense_v it_o withal_o but_o so_o far_o off_o be_v job_n of_o come_v to_o that_o point_n that_o he_o have_v lever_n not_o to_o have_v be_v bear_v at_o all_o and_o why_o because_o he_o be_v so_o cumber_v his_o mind_n be_v so_o amaze_v &_o his_o heart_n be_v so_o seize_v and_o forepossess_v with_o grief_n as_o he_o can_v not_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v nevertheless_o create_v he_o after_o his_o own_o image_n that_o he_o have_v keep_v he_o in_o the_o world_n as_o one_o of_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o make_v he_o taste_v of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n whereunto_o man_n be_v allure_v job_n can_v not_o come_v to_o that_o point_n and_o why_o his_o heart_n be_v so_o close_v up_o with_o sorrow_n as_o he_o have_v none_o eye_n but_o too_o his_o misery_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o our_o affliction_n be_v great_a we_o be_v always_o subject_a to_o this_o fault_n which_o job_n bewray_v in_o himself_o which_o be_v that_o we_o forget_v god_n gracious_a benefit_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v put_v in_o remembrance_n of_o they_o yet_o we_o find_v no_o taste_n nor_o savour_n in_o they_o they_o touch_v we_o not_o to_o our_o comfort_n or_o to_o assuage_v our_o sorrow_n that_o we_o may_v take_v breath_n to_o say_v lord_n although_o i_o be_v beat_v by_o thy_o hand_n and_o that_o it_o be_v to_o heavy_a a_o burden_n for_o i_o to_o bear_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o
mouth_n for_o god_n have_v set_v his_o sustenance_n in_o the_o labour_n of_o his_o hand_n if_o i_o do_v he_o wrong_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o suck_v the_o blood_n out_o of_o he_o who_o god_n have_v commend_v unto_o i_o and_o who_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o relieve_v you_o see_v then_o how_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o estate_n and_o i_o have_v allege_v example_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v lay_v it_o forth_o by_o piecemeal_o &_o that_o according_a as_o any_o of_o we_o have_v too_o deal_v with_o our_o neighbour_n we_o

to_o be_v far_o from_o we_o and_o special_o that_o we_o have_v a_o care_n to_o govern_v our_o house_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v both_o of_o the_o child_n and_o of_o the_o husband_n and_o of_o

head_n of_o a_o house_n go_v astray_o and_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o there_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o all_o go_v to_o wreck_n and_o that_o the_o child_n also_o do_v no_o honour_n to_o their_o father_n &_o mother_n for_o they_o become_v not_o better_o but_o before_o they_o can_v have_v any_o discretion_n you_o shall_v see_v they_o root_v in_o

in_o mind_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n make_v we_o not_o to_o feel_v his_o favour_n at_o the_o first_o push_n therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bliss_v and_o he_o will_v make_v they_o to_o prosper_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n visit_v not_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v alienate_v quite_o from_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o linger_v in_o pain_n so_o as_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o they_o be_v but_o that_o to_o their_o seem_n god_n have_v utter_o forsake_v they_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o walk_v in_o this_o world_n through_o many_o affliction_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o serve_v god_n but_o heerewithall_o we_o have_v a_o double_a comfort_n which_o be_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o although_o our_o heart_n tend_v unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o with_o such_o zeal_n as_o it_o ought_v neither_o do_v we_o serve_v he_o with_o such_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o do_v therefore_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v punishment_n and_o correction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o yet_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n make_v we_o to_o consider_v our_o own_o want_n that_o we_o may_v humble_v ourselves_o fall_v to_o amendment_n and_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o we_o have_v be_v exercise_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o the_o trouble_n that_o he_o send_v lo_o here_o one_o great_a comfort_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o like_a as_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o tribulation_n and_o death_n even_o so_o we_o that_o be_v his_o member_n do_v now_o bear_v his_o mark_n in_o be_v trouble_v in_o this_o world_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v cause_v we_o to_o come_v too_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o resurrection_n we_o see_v then_o that_o all_o our_o adversity_n be_v turn_v to_o our_o welfare_n and_o heerewithall_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o comfore_o ourselves_o in_o this_o that_o our_o god_n will_v not_o put_v we_o to_o further_a trial_n than_o he_o know_v be_v meet_v and_o behofefull_a for_o we_o and_o that_o although_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o endure_v many_o want_n and_o misery_n and_o that_o our_o state_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o wretchedde_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o make_v we_o feel_v continual_o that_o he_o be_v near_o we_o and_o have_v not_o forsake_v we_o but_o watch_v always_o over_o we_o and_o will_v defend_v we_o too_o the_o end_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v and_o honour_n he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o pure_a and_o right_a mean_a mind_n utter_o void_a of_o all_o hypocrisy_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o but_o let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o down_o before_o our_o good_a god_n and_o

to_o give_v bountiful_o unto_o we_o special_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o spirit_n we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n

dismay_v so_o as_o in_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v feel_v that_o god_n have_v forsake_v they_o as_o they_o deserve_v as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o all_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o blissing_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v short_a as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v trouble_v let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o fault_n and_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o

notwithstanding_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o imagine_v that_o god_n hold_v one_o ordinary_a measure_n of_o punish_v offender_n after_o the_o rate_n of_o their_o desert_n we_o see_v how_o he_o chastize_v man_n in_o this_o world_n some_o more_o and_o some_o less_o yea_o and_o he_o reserve_v many_o punishment_n to_o the_o last_o day_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o pronounce_v such_o a_o definitive_a sentence_n in_o general_a as_o zophar_n have_v do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n speak_v against_o he_o yea_o say_v he_o you_o be_v a_o people_n some_o have_v expound_v this_o sentence_n as_o though_o job_n have_v mean_v that_o they_o which_o have_v speak_v have_v bring_v nothing_o but_o such_o stuff_n as_o be_v know_v too_o all_o man_n yea_o even_o to_o the_o very_a idiot_n but_o it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a for_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o say_v it_o seem_v that_o you_o be_v the_o whole_a world_n it_o seem_v that_o wisdom_n

must_v i_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v despise_v of_o they_o that_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o be_v hear_v of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o god_n seem_v to_o favour_n and_o therefore_o agree_v to_o all_o that_o they_o wish_v i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v a_o mockingstocke_n to_o such_o folk_n i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o a_o torch_n that_o waste_v which_o be_v despise_v of_o you_o that_o be_v rich_a to_o be_v short_a they_o that_o hold_v god_n in_o their_o hand_n say_v he_o do_v bold_o spite_v he_o and_o provoke_v he_o and_o all_o this_o while_n the_o tent_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o of_o the_o unthrift_n do_v prosper_v hereby_o job_n show_v how_o it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n to_o affirm_v general_o and_o without_o exception_n that_o god_n do_v in_o this_o present_a life_n punish_v all_o such_o as_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o a_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o god_n redress_v it_o by_o and_o by_o and_o have_v his_o hand_n up_o to_o take_v such_o vengeance_n as_o the_o party_n have_v deserve_v we_o see_v the_o clean_a contrary_n this_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o seem_v to_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v curse_v all_o the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v his_o favour_n and_o goodness_n towards_o those_o that_o keep_v they_o man_n see_v that_o the_o havockmaker_n be_v as_o it_o be_v favour_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o man_n see_v that_o the_o good_a be_v despise_v and_o disquiet_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o do_v gody_a when_o he_o promise_v to_o bliss_n the_o faithful_a and_o pronounce_v such_o a_o curse_n upon_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o word_n no_o but_o i_o have_v already_o loozen_v this_o knot_n by_o show_v that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n all_o after_o one_o rate_n in_o this_o world_n and_o why_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n shall_v punish_v those_o that_o have_v do_v amiss_o like_a for_o like_v as_o they_o say_v so_o as_o if_o the_o fault_n be_v great_a the_o punishment_n shall_v be_v answerable_a to_o it_o and_o if_o the_o fault_n be_v light_n the_o chastisement_n shall_v be_v sudden_a upon_o they_o and_o that_o the_o good_a shall_v be_v deal_v with_o after_o their_o heart_n desire_v whereto_o shall_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n serve_v and_o the_o resurrection_n which_o we_o wait_v for_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o hope_n we_o will_v conclude_v behold_v god_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n and_o let_v he_o do_v well_o that_o list_v if_o he_o will_v receive_v well_o at_o god_n hand_n there_o will_v be_v no_o more_o any_o heavenly_a life_n we_o shall_v have_v our_o heaven_n here_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n shall_v provide_v ill_a for_o our_o welfare_n if_o he_o shall_v make_v the_o punishment_n like_v to_o the_o offence_n of_o all_o they_o that_o do_v amiss_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o diverse_a yea_o and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o punishment_n shall_v be_v reserve_v when_o god_n punish_v the_o wicked_a well_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o wariness_n and_o also_o it_o show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v his_o hand_n for_o he_o judge_v without_o respect_n of_o person_n then_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o the_o fault_n which_o be_v commit_v at_o this_o day_n and_o which_o abide_v unpunished_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v at_o the_o end_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o the_o great_a assize_n be_v hold_v lo_o how_o job_n speak_v not_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n but_o against_o the_o false_a exposition_n that_o be_v give_v by_o zophar_n who_o will_v that_o god_n shall_v present_o make_v such_o execution_n of_o his_o judgement_n as_o he_o shall_v leave_v no_o fault_n unfound_a out_o nor_o we_o need_v too_o wait_v for_o any_o further_o do_v but_o it_o fall_v not_o out_o so_o as_o have_v be_v show_v afore_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v too_o

to_o take_v profit_n by_o it_o for_o here_o we_o see_v a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o our_o edify_n when_o god_n show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o serve_v he_o we_o shall_v not_o

that_o god_n regard_v we_o not_o or_o that_o all_o the_o service_n that_o we_o do_v he_o slip_v away_o without_o any_o regard_n have_v to_o it_o on_o his_o part_n therefore_o we_o must_v come_v to_o that_o which_o isaiah_n say_v be_v you_o content_v for_o the_o righteous_a shall_v receive_v his_o hire_n otherwise_o it_o will_v betide_v we_o as_o david_n confess_v that_o it_o happen_v unto_o he_o

time_n as_o he_o think_v that_o his_o wash_n of_o his_o hand_n in_o innocence_n and_o his_o serve_v of_o god_n have_v be_v in_o vain_a then_o must_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n watch_v over_o all_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o know_v who_o they_o be_v which_o seek_v to_o serve_v and_o honour_n he_o and_o also_o that_o he_o have_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o wicked_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n so_o that_o in_o the_o end_n he_o must_v needs_o show_v that_o he_o can_v not_o bear_v so_o great_a a_o contempt_n of_o his_o grace_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n let_v we_o tarry_v

be_v it_o not_o in_o he_o be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o abridge_v he_o of_o his_o liberty_n behold_v why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o

yet_o god_n truth_n shall_v continue_v still_o job_n mean_v no_o more_o here_o but_o to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o the_o grace_n to_o know_v and_o discern_v the_o truth_n better_o than_o

what_o will_v become_v of_o it_o nothing_o that_o he_o speak_v will_v be_v receive_v we_o will_v disdain_v he_o then_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o fare_v the_o better_a by_o aughte_n that_o be_v

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

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

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

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 run_v here_o &_o there_o &_o letthen_n go_v on_o till_o they_o be_v fall_v down_o &_o tumble_v headlong_o into_o the_o pit_n which_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v 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

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 we_o shall_v be_v assail_v and_o prick_v on_o all_o side_n but_o what_o for_o that_o we_o must_v still_o fight_v according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v get_v no_o victory_n but_o

our_o whole_a force_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o job_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n as_o a_o person_n without_o regard_n of_o the_o resurrection_n to_o come_v he_o rest_v not_o whole_o upon_o that_o point_n for_o he_o have_v well_o foresee_v what_o that_o be_v but_o mean_v to_o express_v the_o passion_n that_o he_o feel_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o

yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o behold_v he_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o transform_a of_o we_o into_o his_o glory_n and_o for_o the_o reform_n of_o

that_o they_o may_v well_o have_v some_o ceremony_n as_o the_o heathen_a folk_n pray_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o papist_n also_o do_v babble_n and_o make_v prayer_n that_o be_v long_o enough_o but_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o because_o they_o be_v not_o assure_v in_o their_o prayer_n nor_o full_o persuade_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v their_o father_n do_v we_o then_o see_v that_o god_n be_v

for_o job_n ought_v too_o know_v that_o god_n do_v always_o mingle_v his_o favour_n with_o the_o affliction_n that_o he_o send_v we_o so_o as_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o bliss_n he_o but_o he_o

for_o when_o we_o muse_v upon_o nothing_o but_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o endure_v we_o be_v so_o overraught_v with_o sorrow_n as_o we_o can_v not_o bliss_n god_n nor_o call_v upon_o he_o nor_o

proviso_n that_o have_v be_v set_v down_o by_o i_o i_o say_v we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n judgement_n go_v not_o all_o after_o one_o rate_n in_o this_o world_n nor_o be_v execute_v 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

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

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

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

our_o eye_n but_o god_n judgement_n be_v inclose_v in_o their_o bone_n and_o in_o their_o maree_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o hear_v this_o sentence_n often_o that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o sure_a of_o it_o and_o have_v the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o a_o rich_a man_n we_o think_v that_o heaven_n &_o earth_n shall_v mingle_v themselves_o together_o to_o confound_v he_o and_o therefore_o god_n declare_v that_o although_o man_n have_v never_o so_o great_a wealth_n yet_o shall_v the_o same_o perish_v every_o whit_n and_o vanish_v away_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o for_o his_o heir_n or_o successor_n to_o hope_v for_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o these_o two_o point_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o set_v more_o store_n by_o god_n blessing_n than_o by_o all_o the_o wealth_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o be_v tempt_v too_o covet_v curse_a riches_n which_o can_v come_v to_o a_o good_a end_n because_o god_n will_v
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

word_n that_o be_v place_v there_o betoken_v a_o man_n that_o be_v forward_o in_o execute_v of_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o a_o man_n that_o labour_v travel_v or_o work_v and_o it_o may_v also_o be_v take_v for_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dispose_v to_o do_v of_o harm_n wrong_v or_o violence_n howbeit_o the_o plain_a meaning_n be_v that_o every_o labour_a hand_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o wicked_a to_o do_v they_o service_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o boot_n they_o at_o all_o lo_o what_o the_o sum_n be_v sophar_n mean_v be_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o beguile_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 hundred_o time_n more_o than_o he_o give_v to_o other_o man_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v ready_a to_o do_v they_o service_n in_o somuch_o that_o they_o have_v man_n in_o fee_n and_o every_o man_n offer_v himself_o unto_o they_o say_v sir_n will_v it_o please_v you_o to_o employ_v i_o for_o when_o they_o have_v all_o the_o hand_n that_o can_v be_v to_o labour_v to_o do_v they_o service_n 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
same_o come_v not_o of_o man_n hand_n nor_o be_v make_v by_o any_o inferior_a art_n or_o mean_a but_o be_v wrought_v by_o god_n only_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o isaiah_n that_o hell_n fire_n be_v prepare_v long_o ago_o for_o the_o wicked_a and_o for_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a breath_n of_o god_n that_o blow_v in_o it_o which_o be_v all_o one_o with_o this_o that_o zophar_n say_v here_o namely_o that_o there_o need_v no_o bellows_n from_o elsewhere_o nor_o any_o foreign_a help_n to_o kindle_v this_o present_a fire_n and_o why_o because_o the_o force_n that_o proceed_v out_o of_o god_n mouth_n be_v enough_o to_o consume_v the_o wicked_a utter_o when_o it_o utter_v itself_o against_o they_o now_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o may_v not_o feel_v the_o execution_n of_o this_o sentence_n upon_o ourselves_o for_o it_o will_v be_v to_o late_o to_o cry_v alas_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v kindle_v his_o inquenchable_a fire_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o be_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o burn_a fire_n howbeit_o not_o to_o consume_v we_o but_o to_o cleanse_v away_o all_o the_o dross_n and_o superfluity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o like_a as_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v fine_v by_o pass_v through_o the_o furnace_n ere_o they_o can_v do_v service_n or_o be_v apply_v to_o our_o use_n even_o so_o our_o lord_n intend_v to_o rid_v we_o of_o our_o wicked_a lust_n by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v thing_n not_o only_o superfluous_a but_o also_o hurtful_a that_o we_o may_v dedicate_v ourselves_o afterward_o too_o his_o service_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v before_o all_o other_o thing_n therefore_o when_o god_n purpose_v to_o inflame_v we_o with_o the_o love_n of_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v whole_o ravish_v therewith_o the_o same_o must_v be_v do_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o word_n but_o if_o we_o can_v abide_v it_o we_o must_v needs_o become_v as_o chaff_n or_o stubble_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n shall_v not_o my_o word_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n &_o as_o a_o hammer_n that_o break_v the_o stone_n and_o shall_v not_o this_o people_n be_v as_o chaff_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o we_o can_v not_o disfeate_v god_n word_n of_o the_o office_n that_o he_o give_v unto_o it_o to_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n it_o must_v always_o be_v so_o now_o on_o our_o side_n if_o we_o be_v diligent_a in_o offer_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n he_o will_v purge_v we_o from_o our_o filth_n &_o we_o shall_v be_v reform_v too_o his_o righteousness_n and_o inflame_v with_o his_o love_n but_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o play_v the_o wild_a colt_n and_o malicious_o and_o stubborn_o reject_v god_n word_n let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n and_o do_v the_o best_a and_o worst_a we_o can_v the_o same_o shall_v burn_v we_o up_o even_o because_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o straw_n chaff_n and_o stubble_n which_o be_v consume_v out_o of_o hand_n yea_o and_o when_o god_n have_v make_v we_o perceyne_v our_o damnation_n by_o his_o word_n he_o will_v doubtless_o also_o put_v too_o his_o hand_n and_o make_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o have_v not_o say_v in_o vain_a that_o fire_n shall_v consume_v the_o wicked_a yea_o even_o without_o any_o blow_n without_o any_o kindle_v and_o without_o put_v any_o man_n hand_n too_o it_o or_o without_o the_o aid_n of_o any_o creature_n by_o any_o mean_a too_o be_v short_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o nor_o fall_v a_o sleep_n when_o we_o see_v thing_n fall_v out_o as_o we_o will_v wish_v in_o this_o

see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o sentence_n and_o it_o be_v say_v immediate_o that_o all_o the_o residue_n of_o his_o house_n shall_v go_v too_o havoc_n or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o misfortune_n upon_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o house_n like_o as_o our_o lord_n utter_v his_o goodness_n towards_o those_o that_o be_v he_o by_o blessing_n both_o their_o

that_o be_v about_o the_o ungodly_a according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n be_v general_o defile_v with_o we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n no_o nor_o any_o corner_n in_o the_o world_n where_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n be_v not_o see_v upon_o all_o creature_n be_v it_o not_o our_o sinfulness_n we_o know_v it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o man_n upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a but_o all_o of_o we_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o general_a condemnation_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v universal_o in_o we_o all_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n hate_v sin_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v odious_a unto_o he_o so_o then_o see_v that_o all_o creature_n be_v as_o it_o be_v accurse_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n both_o high_a and_o low_a must_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v of_o that_o defile_n even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n peculiar_o with_o the_o wicked_a for_o if_o a_o

he_o have_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o remnant_n of_o wicked_a man_n house_n it_o be_v too_o show_v we_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n be_v against_o

further_o ad_fw-la nthis_fw-la be_v say_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o envy_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a when_o we_o see_v they_o farewell_n consider_v that_o their_o end_n be_v such_o as_o we_o see_v here_o therefore_o when_o the_o faithful_a have_v conceive_v how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n be_v they_o must_v be_v so_o touch_v with_o it_o as_o they_o must_v no_o more_o

our_o wit_n and_o spirit_n to_o resist_v satan_n who_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o all_o iniquity_n the_o thing_n then_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o know_v be_v that_o when_o man_n go_v about_o to_o do_v we_o harm_n we_o must_v stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n and_o consider_v the_o force_n and_o strength_n that_o be_v in_o our_o enemy_n and_o if_o we_o can_v not_o overcome_v he_o by_o force_n we_o must_v

a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o beguile_v we_o by_o wicked_a slight_n we_o will_v beware_v of_o he_o well_o enough_o but_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n our_o fight_n be_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o

which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_n namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o job_n be_v fence_v against_o all_o the_o temptation_n that_o be_v put_v to_o he_o by_o those_o who_o the_o

have_v a_o care_n of_o he_o and_o why_o be_v that_o be_v it_o because_o that_o that_o man_n have_v deserve_v it_o no_o for_o if_o we_o seek_v for_o desert_n or_o worthiness_n in_o any_o creature_n it_o can_v bring_v nothing_o which_o be_v not_o god_n own_o afore_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o goodness_n in_o man_n the_o same_o proceed_v first_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n man_n then_o bring_v

all_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v as_o we_o have_v devize_v in_o our_o head_n it_o be_v very_o easy_a for_o we_o to_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a god_n be_v good_a and_o why_o because_o we_o shall_v

nevertheless_o god_n do_v general_o show_v that_o it_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v measure_v he_o by_o our_o span_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v what_o remain_v then_o we_o must_v

never_o attain_v to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o rightfulness_n which_o be_v in_o they_o be_v a_o infinite_a thing_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v our_o own_o ability_n and_o mark_v what_o infirmity_n be_v in_o we_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bestow_v all_o his_o whole_a life_n in_o travel_v yet_o can_v he_o not_o know_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o know_v of_o god_n when_o we_o

we_o come_v far_o short_a of_o know_v all_o that_o be_v in_o god_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v two_o thing_n brief_o the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o god_n work_v not_o after_o our_o manner_n we_o must_v not_o think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o or_o that_o man_n have_v be_v wont_a to_o do_v so_o or_o that_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o

bound_n what_o then_o let_v we_o confess_v that_o his_o judgement_n be_v so_o deep_a a_o sea_n as_o we_o can_v found_v they_o and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o sure_a principle_n that_o god_n continue_v evermore_o righteous_a notwithstanding_o that_o he_o seem_v too_o deal_v crooked_o and_o overthwart_o and_o although_o we_o find_v fault_n with_o his_o do_n and_o have_v apparent_a surmise_n and_o colour_n so_o to_o do_v yet_o say_v i_o let_v we_o always_o conclude_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o lord_n thou_o be_v righteous_a according_a also_o as_o jeremy_n say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o grieve_v he_o to_o see_v the_o wicked_a have_v their_o full_a scope_n and_o the_o godly_a man_n to_o be_v utter_o tread_v under_o foot_n so_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v out_o of_o

wicked_a live_v unpunished_a as_o though_o god_n have_v be_v asleep_a and_o have_v think_v no_o more_o upon_o his_o charge_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a and_o cumbersome_a temptation_n that_o the_o prophet_n endure_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o know_v that_o fleshly_a wit_n can_v conceive_v god_n wonderful_a judgement_n he_o make_v a_o preface_n before_o he_o enter_v into_o his_o complaint_n and_o moan_n say_v lord_n thou_o be_v rightuons_a and_o thy_o judgement_n be_v rightful_a his_o speak_v after_o that_o manner_n be_v to_o show_v that_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o disputation_n with_o god_n and_o to_o plead_v with_o he_o as_o with_o his_o fellow_n or_o match_n or_o too_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o god_n work_v by_o reason_n or_o no._n jeremy_n abridge_v himself_o of_o that_o liberty_n and_o cut_v off_o the_o occasion_n of_o that_o which_o he_o may_v have_v conceive_v in_o his_o mind_n therefore_o before_o he_o enter_v into_o his_o matter_n he_o make_v this_o conclusion_n lord_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v and_o although_o man_n may_v surmise_v that_o thou_o do_v thing_n without_o reason_n yet_o be_v thou_o righteous_a and_o unblamable_a in_o all_o point_n and_o all_o respect_n even_o so_o must_v we_o do_v and_o not_o say_v with_o job_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n work_v that_o be_v very_o true_a howbeit_o it_o be_v but_o faint_o speak_v but_o we_o can_v mount_v so_o high_a nevertheless_o if_o god_n work_v after_o a_o manner_n that_o we_o can_v comprehend_v we_o must_v not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o he_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v here_o furthermore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n that_o we_o may_v well_o make_v large_a discourse_n but_o we_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o thereby_o true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n may_v have_v great_a quickness_n in_o their_o wit_n but_o yet_o must_v not_o the_o same_o give_v we_o occasion_n or_o overween_a as_o we_o see_v many_o do_v who_o because_o they_o have_v their_o wit_n well_o sharpen_v think_v themselves_o able_a to_o find_v out_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o cause_v they_o to_o run_v so_o astray_o that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o be_v dote_v in_o their_o own_o understanding_n that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n punish_v their_o pride_n for_o take_v toomuch_o upon_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o that_o when_o we_o have_v trudge_v up_o and_o down_o we_o shall_v be_v never_o a_o whit_n the_o near_a to_o the_o find_v out_o of_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o our_o lord_n will_v show_v we_o that_o our_o wit_n be_v too_o weak_a and_o

for_o our_o welfare_n wait_v for_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o full_o discover_v unto_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v more_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o job_n add_v immediate_o according_a as_o he_o know_v my_o way_n so_o will_v he_o try_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v go_v out_o as_o gold_n hereby_o job_n betoken_v that_o god_n have_v a_o great_a

for_o i_o to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n that_o he_o make_v now_o this_o say_n of_o he_o be_v very_o true_a that_o god_n know_v our_o way_n and_o try_v and_o prove_v we_o as_o gold_n in_o the_o furnace_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o have_v we_o any_o cause_n to_o complain_v that_o we_o be_v not_o his_o match_n shall_v the_o creature_n check_v after_o such_o a_o

therefore_o whensoever_o it_o come_v to_o our_o mind_n that_o god_n know_v all_o our_o way_n and_o that_o he_o try_v we_o and_o that_o he_o purge_v and_o sift_v out_o all_o the_o sinful_a affection_n

not_o allege_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o to_o make_v it_o go_v for_o good_a but_o see_v our_o lord_n have_v speak_v it_o we_o must_v hold_v we_o simple_o to_o his_o word_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o now_o remain_v to_o mark_v the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o in_o that_o place_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v lay_v up_o god_n doctrine_n as_o a_o treasure_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o unless_o

god_n word_n show_v itself_o for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o so_o man_n may_v think_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o good_a work_v which_o the_o faithful_a do_v must_v first_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o say_v hearty_a affection_n and_o not_o of_o any_o flightful_a and_o inconstant_a motion_n furthermore_o the_o word_n lie_v up_o will_v be_v well_o enough_o understand_v if_o we_o take_v the_o similitude_n of_o a_o treasure_n and_o apply_v it_o also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v when_o he_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v well_o store_v of_o thing_n he_o may_v fetch_v forth_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v need_n of_o both_o for_o his_o own_o household_n and_o also_o for_o other_o man_n use_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v so_o niggardly_o that_o when_o he_o have_v his_o chest_n full_a of_o money_n and_o his_o garner_n and_o cellar_n thorough_o store_v he_o will_v both_o starve_v himself_o and_o not_o relieve_v any_o other_o body_n will_v man_n say_v that_o such_o a_o one_o know_v too_o what_o purpose_n it_o serve_v to_o be_v rich_fw-fr no_o but_o he_o be_v a_o stark_a beast_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o hoard_v must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v use_v it_o discrete_o according_a as_o the_o case_n shall_v require_v and_o when_o we_o have_v the_o treasure_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n lay_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v not_o only_o profit_a ourselves_o by_o it_o but_o also_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n yea_o and_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o a_o good_a conscience_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o the_o say_a text_n that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v learn_v in_o god_n word_n we_o must_v not_o only_o conceive_v some_o opinion_n of_o it_o in_o our_o brain_n but_o we_o must_v lay_v it_o up_o diligent_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o a_o inestimable_a treasure_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o job_n add_v he_o say_v that_o if_o god_n be_v mind_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n no_o man_n shall_v turn_v he_o from_o it_o this_o be_v still_o a_o continue_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v in_o hand_n namely_o that_o god_n use_v a_o absolute_a power_n against_o he_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o to_o obtain_v his_o right_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o this_o be_v overmuch_o for_o although_o job_n know_v that_o god_n punish_v he_o not_o for_o his_o sin_n yet_o ought_v he_o too_o have_v be_v full_o resolve_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o unpartial_a in_o all_o his_o do_n but_o he_o surmise_v a_o lawless_a power_n that_o have_v neither_o rule_v nor_o measure_n with_o it_o wherein_o he_o do_v god_n wrong_v nevertheless_o the_o sentence_n be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v apply_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v namely_o that_o god_n be_v always_o at_o one_o point_n or_o in_o one_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v constant_a and_o unvariable_a and_o can_v be_v turn_v one_o way_n or_o other_o according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o even_a balaam_n the_o liar_n be_v enforce_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v not_o like_a man_n who_o change_n their_o mind_n and_o be_v variable_a and_o inconstant_a have_v he_o say_v any_o thing_n say_v balaam_n which_o he_o perform_v not_o so_o this_o doctrine_n of_o itself_o be_v good_a and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v full_a of_o that_o matter_n but_o now_o must_v we_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o instruction_n it_o serve_v to_o two_o purpose_n the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v speak_v a_o thing_n and_o promise_v to_o be_v merciful_a and_o favourable_a to_o we_o and_o to_o succour_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n we_o must_v steadfast_o believe_v it_o and_o rest_n upon_o it_o without_o any_o doubt_v whither_o he_o will_v perform_v his_o promise_n or_o no._n why_o for_o his_o truth_n be_v infallible_a likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o he_o threaten_v we_o we_o must_v tremble_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dally_v with_o such_o a_o master_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o end_n all_o the_o thing_n tend_v that_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v god_n constancy_n and_o steadfastness_n in_o execute_v his_o determination_n we_o know_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o mind_n unto_o we_o when_o he_o avouch_v himself_o to_o be_v pitiful_a and_o that_o he_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n do_v so_o call_v we_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v not_o to_o beguile_v we_o and_o too_o foade_v we_o with_o some_o vain_a hope_n and_o therefore_o inasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v such_o assurance_n of_o his_o good_a will_n let_v we_o bold_o stay_v and_o rest_v thereupon_o and_o why_o for_o he_o change_v not_o though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v make_v suit_n to_o he_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o cause_v he_o too_o alter_v his_o mind_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o may_v glory_v against_o all_o that_o the_o devil_n can_v devise_v or_o practice_v yea_o and_o although_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a world_n bend_v against_o god_n promise_n yet_o shall_v we_o nevertheless_o be_v always_o at_o rest_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a ghost_n arm_v the_o faithful_a with_o such_o trust_n and_o teach_v they_o too_o defy_v all_o their_o enemy_n goto_n say_v he_o lie_v your_o head_n together_o and_o do_v the_o worst_a you_o can_v yet_o shall_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n again_o he_o say_v he_o will_v be_v near_o at_o hand_n too_o we_o and_o that_o when_o the_o devil_n and_o man_n have_v practise_v their_o uttermost_a against_o we_o he_o will_v beat_v down_o all_o their_o defence_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o may_v despise_v all_o that_o our_o enemy_n can_v practice_v or_o devise_v and_o why_o for_o in_o the_o end_n they_o can_v withstand_v god_n nor_o let_v he_o too_o perfourine_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n concern_v the_o steadfastness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n also_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v his_o threaten_n so_o that_o if_o he_o rebuke_v our_o vice_n and_o be_v so_o good_a too_o we_o as_o to_o warn_v we_o of_o they_o let_v we_o not_o stand_v unamendable_a in_o our_o misdo_n but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o humble_v himself_o and_o look_v well_o about_o he_o and_o with_o all_o carefulness_n endeavour_n too_o prevent_v the_o curse_n which_o god_n have_v tell_v we_o of_o for_o to_o that_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 see_v those_o die_n for_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n which_o have_v labour_v sore_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n other_o man_n rob_v they_o of_o their_o good_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o god_n too_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 understanding_n but_o have_v a_o wonderful_a purpose_n which_o pass_v all_o man_n reach_n so_o as_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v blind_v at_o it_o and_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o to_o measure_v all_o god_n do_n by_o our_o reason_n for_o than_o shall_v we_o enter_v into_o a_o bottomless_a deep_a but_o we_o must_v pray_v he_o to_o grant_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o content_a ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o he_o show_v we_o and_o we_o must_v have_v the_o soberness_n and_o modesty_n to_o walk_v in_o ignorance_n till_o he_o discover_v thing_n full_o too_o we_o for_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o keep_v

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 that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o wound_v namely_o of_o they_o that_o be_v die_v do_v lament_v and_o that_o god_n put_v no_o stop_n or_o that_o god_n do_v not_o any_o unreasonable_a thing_n for_o this_o late_a part_n may_v be_v take_v two_o way_n true_o some_o expound_v it_o that_o god_n receive_v not_o their_o prayer_n and_o the_o two_o hebrew_n word_n namely_o that_o which_o signify_v stop_v let_v

be_v thephiâ—a_n whereas_o now_o it_o be_v thiphla_n sure_o i_o confess_v that_o if_o the_o point_n will_v suffer_v it_o that_o exposition_n will_v be_v most_o convenient_a and_o agreeable_a because_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o cry_v then_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n cry_v and_o wherefore_o because_o they_o be_v wrongful_o vex_v and_o yet_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n of_o their_o complaint_n 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 all_o god_n do_n be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n and_o uprightness_n howbe_z eit_z that_o he_o do_v very_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v so_o but_o the_o discourse_n that_o he_o make_v tend_v too_o another_o diverse_a end_n which_o be_v that_o we_o be_v amaze_v when_o we_o behold_v the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n why_o if_o it_o be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o he_o will_v dispose_v thing_n clean_o otherwise_o therefore_o in_o this_o ordinance_n and_o government_n which_o we_o see_v we_o have_v too_o remember_v that_o god_n behave_v not_o himself_o after_o our_o

of_o order_n yea_o for_o a_o time_n but_o although_o he_o wink_v yet_o be_v he_o not_o asleep_a as_o have_v binsayde_v afore_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n and_o not_o too_o make_v it_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o god_n punish_v man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o so_o as_o his_o justice_n be_v apparent_a and_o visible_a to_o us._n we_o

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

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

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

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

we_o watch_v in_o call_v upon_o god_n let_v we_o watch_v that_o we_o rest_v not_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v in_o our_o own_o hand_n let_v we_o watch_v to_o know_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v succour_v many_o way_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a let_v we_o learn_v to_o return_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o settle_v and_o ground_n ourselves_o upon_o his_o only_a providence_n and_o goodness_n this_o be_v the_o warning_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o sentence_n but_o this_o be_v not_o see_v always_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o and_o although_o the_o rich_a man_n overflow_v in_o wealth_n and_o have_v a_o great_a train_n about_o they_o and_o every_o man_n labour_v to_o do_v they_o service_n and_o final_o that_o they_o want_v nothing_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n have_v give_v over_o his_o office_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v too_o himself_o the_o judgement_n which_o he_o execute_v upon_o some_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o think_v but_o that_o he_o be_v able_a too_o accomplish_v it_o in_o this_o world_n if_o it_o please_v he_o other_o man_n take_v this_o

so_o the_o mean_a shall_v be_v that_o man_n shall_v look_v about_o they_o where_o those_o folk_n be_v become_v that_o live_v in_o wealth_n and_o bare_a so_o great_a port_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o see_v they_o any_o more_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o seven_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n i_o see_v he_o perk_v up_o as_o a_o high_a cedar_n in_o mount_n lybanus_n and_o he_o touch_v

such_o wise_a that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o be_v wipe_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o sense_n will_v agree_v well_o to_o this_o text_n furthermore_o there_o be_v othersome_a which_o understand_v not_o this_o sentence_n neither_o of_o death_n nor_o of_o burial_n as_o be_v expound_v yesterday_o but_o as_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o the_o wicked_a man_n lay_v he_o down_o to_o rest_n he_o shall_v find_v none_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o easy_a interpretation_n be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o escape_v but_o that_o god_n will_v show_v his_o justice_n upon_o they_o and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v this_o come_v to_o pass_v howbeit_o not_o always_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o ever_o seek_v the_o execution_n of_o god_n justice_n in_o this_o

imagine_v upon_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o lord_n delay_v his_o judgement_n when_o he_o think_v good_a and_o make_v they_o not_o manifest_v to_o the_o world_n now_o it_o be_v consequent_o say_v that_o fearfulness_n shall_v overtake_v the_o wicked_a man_n as_o a_o rage_n of_o water_n he_o speak_v here_o of_o water_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o sudden_a storm_n when_o a_o tempest_n or_o a_o whirl_n wind_n come_v by_o night_n as_o this_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v common_a so_o it_o be_v also_o notable_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n send_v such_o fearfulness_n upon_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o know_v not_o where_o to_o become_v and_o that_o the_o same_o come_v as_o a_o storm_n and_o as_o a_o tempest_n in_o the_o night_n which_o a_o man_n foresee_v not_o ne_o yet_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o be_v speak_v purposely_o because_o the_o wicked_a do_v bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v to_o let_v they_o alone_o in_o rest_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o they_o be_v not_o trouble_v they_o can_v not_o be_v thorough_o in_o quiet_a because_o they_o have_v a_o evil_a conscience_n but_o yet_o they_o behight_n themselves_o wonder_v and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n special_o in_o isaiah_n they_o make_v a_o
covenant_n with_o death_n so_o as_o they_o think_v themselves_o too_o be_v in_o such_o league_n and_o atonement_n with_o the_o grave_n that_o although_o the_o earth_n be_v cover_v with_o a_o flood_n and_o utter_o drown_v yet_o the_o mischief_n can_v not_o come_v near_o they_o you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o wicked_a be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n when_o god_n pinch_v they_o not_o and_o how_o they_o harden_v themselves_o thereby_o and_o sure_o if_o a_o man_n threaten_v they_o and_o tell_v they_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o attempt_n they_o be_v so_o little_o move_v therewith_o that_o they_o 〈…〉_o do_v mock_v at_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o fearfulness_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o as_o a_o rage_n of_o water_n according_a also_o to_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o thessalonian_n that_o when_o they_o shall_v say_v peace_n and_o all_o be_v safe_a then_o shall_v they_o be_v sudden_o overthrow_v and_o the_o destruction_n which_o they_o think_v not_o of_o nor_o once_o doubt_v shall_v come_v upon_o they_o so_o then_o when_o there_o be_v any_o talk_n of_o such_o alteration_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o the_o wicked_a which_o be_v that_o he_o destroy_v they_o sudden_o as_o if_o he_o send_v a_o storm_n or_o tempest_n in_o the_o night_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v so_o sot_v in_o foolish_a presumption_n as_o to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v let_v we_o alone_o in_o rest_n neither_o let_v we_o flatter_v ourselves_o but_o rather_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n intend_v to_o keep_v we_o under_o in_o

too_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o seek_v peace_n in_o god_n and_o not_o in_o worldly_a good_n if_o we_o do_v so_o let_v we_o not_o be_v afraid_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v with_o any_o sudden_a tempest_n or_o that_o god_n will_v send_v any_o such_o fearfulness_n upon_o we_o as_o shall_v trouble_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o all_o such_o as_o presume_v upon_o their_o earthly_a prosperity_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o although_o not_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o a_o account_n and_o they_o can_v they_o not_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n wherefore_o let_v we_o walk_v advise_o furthermore_o though_o the_o wicked_a be_v now_o and_o then_o without_o fear_n let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v their_o wickedness_n for_o we_o do_v not_o always_o perceive_v his_o judgement_n present_o as_o i_o have_v say_v therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o tarry_v for_o the_o discovery_n of_o they_o until_o the_o last_o day_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v sometime_o try_v our_o faith_n by_o hold_v his_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o and_o further_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o note_v that_o although_o the_o fear_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o upon_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o word_n be_v not_o perceive_v here_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o feel_v a_o secret_a fear_n continual_o in_o their_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n for_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o they_o be_v like_o the_o wave_n that_o beat_v one_o against_o a_o other_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o violent_a wind_n we_o see_v the_o water_n be_v so_o turmoil_v that_o the_o wave_n break_v one_o against_o a_o other_o even_o so_o the_o wicked_a without_o trouble_n at_o other_o man_n hand_n do_v torment_v themselves_o and_o be_v hangman_n too_o themselves_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n and_o affection_n they_o shall_v quake_v at_o the_o fall_n of_o a_o leaf_n when_o no_o body_n follow_v they_o but_o this_o fearfulness_n shall_v be_v secret_a for_o outward_o they_o set_v a_o good_a countenance_n upon_o the_o matter_n and_o also_o they_o know_v not_o themselves_o but_o be_v dull_v in_o themselves_o and_o chafe_v at_o god_n and_o admit_v not_o the_o warning_n that_o he_o give_v they_o to_o move_v they_o to_o repentance_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o seek_v this_o peace_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o which_o be_v too_o have_v a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n ▪_o so_o as_o we_o lean_a unto_o god_n and_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o then_o although_o he_o send_v we_o trouble_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v so_o utter_o overthrow_v but_o we_o shall_v have_v whereof_o to_o rejoice_v in_o his_o goodness_n but_o it_o be_v say_v final_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o by_o the_o east_n wind_n drive_v out_o of_o their_o place_n and_o over_o whelm_v with_o misery_n and_o shall_v flee_v away_o these_o similitude_n of_o the_o eastwind_n and_o of_o

a_o great_a tempest_n and_o that_o there_o come_v sudden_o such_o a_o wind_n as_o shall_v bear_v down_o all_o thing_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o flee_v away_o and_o whereas_o they_o

rejoice_n be_v not_o fleshly_a ne_o proceed_v of_o a_o desire_n too_o revenge_n it_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a and_o allowable_a before_o god_n but_o if_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o rejoice_v through_o

for_o we_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o let_v we_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o stir_v thereunto_o by_o our_o fleshly_a affection_n ne_o

of_o ambition_n and_o vainglory_n and_o seek_v to_o have_v the_o estimation_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n must_v needs_o become_v loathsome_a and_o god_n will_v bring_v they_o so_o into_o hatred_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v rejoice_v at_o their_o destruction_n you_o see_v then_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v disappoint_v of_o their_o expectation_n although_o this_o happen_v not_o at_o all_o

be_v a_o other_o manner_n of_o thing_n when_o we_o come_v to_o his_o judgement_n let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o contain_v they_o in_o our_o brain_n or_o to_o compass_v they_o with_o our_o wit_n but_o let_v we_o reverence_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o know_v not_o confess_v that_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v over_o high_a for_o we_o and_o that_o be_v become_v we_o not_o to_o go_v about_o to_o

how_o be_v it_o in_o come_v to_o we_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v yet_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v show_v we_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 well_o show_v there_o that_o which_o job_n mean_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o such_o as_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n teach_v by_o his_o word_n will_v not_o be_v wed_v to_o these_o small_a and_o fond_a subtlety_n but_o will_v be_v well_o ground_v in_o knowledge_n how_o to_o rule_v their_o life_n &_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o under_o the_o word_n treasure_n he_o show_v that_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n whereupon_o man_n must_v whole_o settle_v themselves_o as_o upon_o their_o full_a and_o perfect_v felicity_n and_o wherein_o they_o must_v take_v their_o full_a contentation_n and_o rest_n now_o we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v here_o be_v very_o true_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o man_n shall_v then_o be_v wise_a and_o skilful_a when_o they_o shall_v have_v profit_v so_o far_o as_o to_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o therewithal_o we_o must_v apply_v our_o whole_a study_n and_o set_v our_o whole_a mind_n upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o

service_n unless_o we_o be_v acquaint_v with_o his_o goodness_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n lord_n thou_o be_v good_a and_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o too_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v fear_v thou_o we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n until_o they_o have_v know_v god_n mercy_n and_o take_v hold_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n to_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o free_a heart_n and_o too_o seek_v he_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o shun_v god_n we_o be_v fierce_a against_o he_o and_o

where_o true_a fear_n be_v for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o under_o this_o word_n fear_n the_o scripture_n mean_v only_o some_o bondage_n that_o man_n shall_v yield_v unto_o god_n as_o though_o they_o be_v enforce_v thereunto_o but_o this_o fear_n here_o import_v that_o we_o must_v be_v full_o mind_v to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n hand_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n know_v what_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n be_v and_o yield_v he_o such_o reverence_n as_o we_o may_v be_v true_o join_v unto_o he_o and_o undoubted_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o honour_n that_o

cry_v out_o by_o his_o prophet_n malachi_n if_o i_o be_v your_o master_n where_o be_v your_o fear_n and_o if_o i_o be_v your_o father_n where_o be_v your_o love_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o that_o place_n he_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o love_n and_o fear_n but_o afterward_o he_o show_v that_o those_o two_o word_n come_v both_o to_o one_o end_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o both_o as_o a_o father_n and_o a_o master_n we_o ought_v to_o love_v he_o howbeit_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o in_o all_o our_o life_n we_o desire_v nothing_o ne_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o obey_v he_o so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o that_o job_n be_v so_o far_o off_o here_o from_o intend_v to_o reject_v faith_n that_o he_o rather_o lead_v we_o unto_o it_o for_o that_o also_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o wisdom_n pray_v god_n to_o open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o ephesian_n too_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v how_o to_o hope_v for_o the_o salvation_n that_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o love_n that_o he_o have_v show_v to_o assure_v we_o of_o our_o salvation_n insomuch_o that_o he_o be_v our_o length_n breadth_n height_n and_o depth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o may_v well_o strain_v ourselves_o on_o all_o side_n but_o if_o we_o will_v mount_v up_o never_o so_o high_a we_o can_v not_o be_v able_a to_o go_v beyond_o the_o comprehend_v of_o the_o love_n which_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n also_o we_o may_v well_o seek_v all_o depth_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v hold_v this_o for_o a_o certainty_n that_o when_o we_o have_v go_v to_o &_o fro_o all_o that_o ever_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o know_v be_v but_o to_o conceive_v how_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o father_n &_o

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

gather_v upon_o this_o text_n that_o the_o word_n which_o be_v give_v we_o and_o also_o contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v so_o excellent_a a_o treasure_n as_o we_o can_v set_v store_n enough_o by_o it_o we_o know_v that_o wisdom_n shall_v be_v esteem_v yea_o even_o of_o the_o most_o ignorant_a and_o very_a idiote_n for_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o this_o insight_n by_o

therein_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o our_o whole_a wisdom_n consist_v this_o than_o ought_v to_o inflame_v we_o great_o to_o seek_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o may_v profit_v in_o the_o school_n of_o our_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o have_v that_o or_o else_o we_o show_v ourselves_o to_o reject_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o will_v fain_o be_v bereave_v of_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v inflame_v with_o such_o zeal_n to_o profit_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o may_v prefer_v the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v there_o before_o all_o our_o own_o fancy_n and_o before_o all_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n that_o carry_v we_o away_o furthermore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v such_o a_o desire_n to_o profit_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o we_o must_v learn_v also_o to_o honour_v it_o according_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o fantastical_a person_n in_o these_o day_n which_o despise_v god_n word_n because_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o simple_a stuff_n

as_o they_o be_v worthy_a for_o if_o a_o man_n try_v what_o be_v in_o they_o he_o shall_v find_v they_o double_a blind_a and_o that_o our_o lord_n bereave_v they_o of_o common_a reason_n so_o as_o

it_o be_v that_o at_o the_o first_o blush_n we_o shall_v see_v great_a simplicity_n there_o for_o our_o lord_n use_v no_o high_a stile_n but_o rather_o temper_v himself_o both_o to_o great_a and_o

my_o ease_n and_o rest_n and_o be_v this_o because_o i_o be_o worthy_a of_o it_o no_o but_o my_o god_n know_v i_o to_o be_v so_o weak_a that_o i_o can_v not_o bear_v such_o affliction_n by_o reason_n whereof_o he_o spare_v i_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v impute_v it_o to_o his_o goodness_n but_o if_o i_o be_v strike_v down_o and_o be_v fain_o to_o endure_v affliction_n i_o must_v not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v still_o upon_o god_n assure_v myself_o that_o it_o be_v for_o my_o profit_n and_o welfare_n and_o when_o i_o do_v but_o hear_v of_o his_o threaten_n i_o must_v

we_o have_v be_v prepare_v for_o it_o a_o good_a while_n before_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v now_o what_o job_n meaning_n be_v for_o he_o show_v that_o such_o as_o judge_v by_o the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n &_o by_o the_o outward_a appearance_n shall_v be_v convince_v by_o experience_n because_o he_o have_v walk_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o he_o be_v unblamable_a and_o every_o man_n do_v rather_o wonder_v at_o he_o than_o condemn_v his_o life_n then_o must_v it_o not_o be_v conclude_v that_o because_o god_n afflict_v he_o so_o therefore_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n and_o that_o all_o that_o over_o he_o have_v do_v be_v but_o hypocrisy_n that_o be_v to_o untoward_a a_o deal_n by_o the_o way_n although_o job_n speak_v but_o too_o those_o that_o come_v to_o accuse_v he_o false_o yet_o be_v this_o write_v for_o the_o instruction_n of_o all_o god_n child_n lo_o then_o let_v we_o gather_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o of_o this_o text_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v at_o random_n of_o any_o of_o the_o chastisement_n and_o rod_n wherewith_o god_n strike_v man_n very_o we_o must_v hold_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n in_o all_o affliction_n that_o they_o be_v witness_n of_o god_n justice_n upon_o our_o sin_n for_o if_o we_o be_v utter_o pure_a &_o innocent_a undoubted_o god_n will_v handle_v we_o after_o another_o fashion_n than_o he_o do_v therefore_o whereas_o we_o see_v man_n so_o miserable_a and_o torment_v after_o so_o many_o fashion_n they_o be_v fruit_n of_o their_o sin_n aswell_o several_o as_o in_o common_a but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v not_o measure_v all_o man_n by_o one_o meatyard_n as_o they_o say_v and_o why_o for_o there_o be_v diverse_a cause_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o why_o god_n send_v affliction_n upon_o the_o world_n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v diverse_a respect_n we_o must_v not_o wrap_v up_o all_o together_o nor_o make_v all_o to_o pass_v under_o one_o collect_v as_o they_o say_v but_o we_o must_v be_v wise_a in_o this_o behalf_n &_o as_o it_o be_v bridle_v our_o own_o reason_n that_o we_o pass_v not_o our_o measure_n &_o compass_n wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o think_v upon_o every_o man_n life_n and_o if_o that_o those_o be_v afflict_v which_o have_v despise_v god_n &_o his_o word_n &_o lead_v a_o lawless_a life_n give_v themselves_o over_o to_o all_o naughtiness_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o our_o lord_n instruct_v we_o in_o their_o person_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v open_v our_o eye_n to_o see_v that_o our_o fault_n shall_v not_o escape_v clear_a without_o come_v to_o account_v before_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n but_o if_o we_o see_v no_o cause_n why_o our_o lord_n shall_v punish_v this_o man_n or_o that_o but_o rather_o the_o clean_a contrary_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o say_v lord_n thou_o be_v righteous_a howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v dazzle_v in_o this_o behalf_n &_o that_o our_o

find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o no_o but_o we_o will_v be_v quiet_a and_o patient_a and_o tarry_v thy_o leisure_n till_o thou_o show_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o yet_o hide_v from_o we_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o text_n but_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o judge_v of_o ourselves_o we_o must_v call_v this_o doctrine_n to_o mind_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o fall_v not_o in_o despair_n although_o god_n press_v we_o and_o we_o feel_v his_o hand_n overharde_v upon_o we_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 doctrine_n contrariwise_o in_o time_n of_o prosperity_n let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o sot_v in_o our_o own_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n as_o we_o see_v the_o world_n be_v which_o abuse_v god_n goodness_n 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

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

shall_v the_o end_n of_o our_o affliction_n be_v always_o happy_a if_o we_o continue_v in_o call_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v with_o we_o let_v we_o not_o surmise_v that_o

that_o can_v light_v upon_o none_o but_o the_o unbeliever_n for_o if_o we_o cry_v namely_o in_o faith_n and_o hope_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o shall_v be_v

they_o be_v but_o forlorn_a &_o fordo_v yet_o they_o set_v not_o their_o mind_n upon_o he_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o hear_v wherefore_o sith_o we_o see_v this_o temptation_n of_o cry_v and_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 behold_v job_n who_o complain_v that_o he_o cry_v and_o be_v not_o hear_v have_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v if_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o hear_v his_o request_n how_o it_o that_o he_o perceive_v it_o

scan_v after_o what_o manner_n god_n help_v we_o it_o enter_v not_o into_o our_o understanding_n why_o for_o we_o be_v rude_a and_o gross_a nevertheless_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o in_o time_n that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v near_o we_o even_o when_o we_o think_v he_o have_v forsake_v we_o and_o although_o his_o nearness_n be_v secret_a yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o make_v his_o power_n drop_n down_o into_o we_o continual_o so_o then_o let_v we_o inure_v ourselves_o with_o these_o temptation_n namely_o that_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o our_o trouble_n and_o feel_v no_o ease_n

out_o of_o hope_n but_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n patient_o and_o say_v truth_n lord_n this_o battle_n be_v right_a sore_n but_o what_o for_o that_o see_v that_o job_n which_o be_v a_o weak_a man_n as_o we_o be_v have_v pass_v that_o way_n let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o strengthen_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o the_o grace_n which_o he_o show_v to_o job_n at_o that_o time_n and_o to_o david_n

have_v full_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o this_o temptation_n which_o be_v great_a of_o all_o other_o which_o be_v when_o we_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o be_v not_o herd_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o when_o job_n say_v thou_o have_v turn_v thyself_o against_o i_o and_o be_v become_v as_o though_o thou_o be_v cruel_a by_o this_o say_n he_o mean_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v not_o deliver_v

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

you_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v my_o rod_n be_v light_v before_o i_o do_v but_o as_o it_o be_v tick_n you_o with_o my_o little_a finger_n but_o now_o i_o will_v lay_v on_o you_o with_o main_a stroke_n i_o will_v draw_v my_o sword_n and_o beat_v you_o down_o too_o the_o ground_n it_o seem_v then_o erewhiles_o that_o we_o gain_v nothing_o by_o pray_v but_o only_o put_v god_n in_o mind_n to_o be_v more_o rough_a and_o sharp_a with_o we_o and_o to_o vex_v we_o the_o more_o and_o to_o make_v our_o affliction_n the_o greevouser_n and_o to_o exceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o consume_v we_o utter_o lo_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

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

that_o pass_v and_o vanish_v away_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v god_n too_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n let_v we_o learn_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o allege_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v

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

to_o all_o man_n which_o be_v first_o that_o such_o as_o be_v advance_v to_o any_o authority_n must_v know_v that_o god_n set_v of_o they_o in_o that_o state_n be_v not_o to_o give_v they_o the_o

one_o point_n for_o the_o authority_n which_o be_v amongst_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v such_o pre-eminence_n that_o he_o which_o serve_v and_o be_v of_o low_a degree_n shall_v therefore_o be_v despise_v true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v master_n of_o his_o own_o house_n and_o there_o be_v no_o sovereignty_n so_o noble_a as_o that_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n will_v look_v too_o have_v himself_o only_o hear_v and_o obey_v in_o his_o own_o house_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o a_o master_n have_v no_o such_o power_n over_o his_o man_n and_o maid_n but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o hear_v they_o patient_o when_o any_o wrong_n be_v do_v they_o then_o if_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o his_o underling_n in_o his_o own_o house_n what_o ought_v such_o to_o do_v which_o have_v authority_n of_o justice_n for_o they_o have_v no_o such_o power_n as_o master_n have_v over_o their_o servant_n they_o have_v a_o honourable_a authority_n and_o pre-eminence_n but_o that_o be_v not_o to_o lord_n it_o over_o man_n so_o as_o other_o shall_v be_v in_o bondage_n to_o they_o nay_o rather_o let_v not_o king_n and_o prince_n flatter_v themselves_o neither_o let_v they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o world_n be_v make_v for_o they_o but_o rather_o that_o they_o be_v make_v for_o the_o multitude_n have_v not_o god_n establish_v principality_n and_o kingdom_n for_o the_o common_a welfare_n it_o be_v not_o to_o advance_v two_o or_o three_o only_a above_o the_o rest_n no_o but_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n there_o shall_v be_v some_o order_n and_o state_n of_o government_n among_o man_n and_o therefore_o king_n and_o prince_n ought_v to_o beware_v that_o they_o live_v in_o such_o wise_n over_o their_o subject_n as_o they_o misuse_v they_o not_o nor_o execute_v any_o tyranny_n over_o they_o for_o they_o shall_v be_v much_o less_o excusable_a than_o be_v the_o master_n that_o deal_v cruel_o with_o their_o servant_n and_o much_o less_o liberty_n have_v they_o which_o be_v call_v to_o the_o state_n of_o justice_n and_o set_v as_o god_n officer_n to_o yield_v every_o man_n his_o right_n if_o such_o forget_v themselves_o or_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o pride_n god_n must_v needs_o punish_v they_o more_o rough_o than_o the_o master_n that_o have_v do_v any_o outrage_n or_o wrong_v to_o their_o brethren_n that_o serve_v they_o furthermore_o be_v it_o so_o that_o such_o as_o have_v any_o authority_n over_o other_o must_v not_o exalt_v themselves_o what_o shall_v they_o do_v then_o which_o be_v of_o equal_a state_n how_o ought_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o live_v with_o his_o neighbour_n if_o a_o man_n exalt_v himself_o whereas_o he_o ought_v too_o acknowledge_v himself_o equal_a and_o fellow_n like_a so_o as_o he_o play_v the_o bull_n i_o pray_v you_o must_v not_o such_o pride_n be_v tame_v and_o when_o a_o man_n that_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o heady_a rashness_n will_v take_v upon_o he_o such_o authority_n over_o his_o neighbour_n as_o he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o look_v upon_o they_o but_o askew_o and_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o all_o the_o world_n ought_v to_o quake_v at_o his_o look_n shall_v not_o god_n set_v his_o hand_n to_o such_o bravery_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o strain_n for_o it_o serve_v not_o only_o too_o teach_v mildness_n and_o gentleness_n unto_o master_n but_o also_o and_o of_o much_o more_o duty_n to_o all_o man_n in_o general_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o inferior_n to_o suffer_v and_o endure_v such_o as_o have_v authority_n over_o they_o it_o behove_v every_o of_o we_o too_o look_v to_o his_o own_o state_n and_o calling_n and_o to_o learn_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o unto_o such_o mildness_n as_o neither_o the_o master_n do_v oppress_v the_o servant_n nor_o the_o servant_n strive_v against_o his_o master_n but_o every_o man_n so_o discharge_v his_o own_o duty_n as_o god_n may_v be_v serve_v above_o all_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_n and_o for_o to_o convict_n we_o the_o more_o if_o perchance_o we_o be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o our_o wit_n that_o every_o of_o we_o will_v take_v more_o upon_o he_o than_o belong_v unto_o he_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o we_o fall_v too_o be_v so_o proud_a and_o become_v so_o cruel_a towards_o those_o that_o be_v under_o we_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n and_o his_o prophet_n but_o also_o the_o very_a heathen_a man_n must_v be_v our_o judge_n at_o the_o last_o day_n i_o say_v even_o now_o that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n a_o master_n in_o those_o day_n have_v power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n over_o his_o

&_o not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v our_o underling_n these_o be_v their_o own_o word_n if_o the_o unbeliever_n that_o be_v at_o that_o time_n have_v such_o a_o regard_n of_o humanity_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o bridle_v himself_o even_o although_o he_o have_v free_a liberty_n give_v to_o do_v what_o he_o list_v with_o his_o servant_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o excuse_n be_v there_o for_o we_o which_o be_v enlighten_v by_o god_n word_n if_o we_o have_v not_o such_o a_o consideration_n at_o the_o least_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o god_n advance_v we_o to_o any_o authority_n it_o be_v to_o try_v our_o modesty_n and_o if_o he_o give_v we_o man_n servant_n and_o maid_n servant_n to_o be_v under_o we_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o inure_v we_o with_o the_o humanity_n and_o upright_o deal_v which_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v show_v that_o if_o god_n have_v show_v we_o any_o special_a favour_n we_o ought_v to_o think_v ourselves_o beholden_a to_o he_o for_o it_o and_o by_o mean_n thereof_o be_v provoke_v to_o use_v it_o sober_o and_o see_v that_o he_o which_o have_v all_o power_n over_o we_o do_v nevertheless_o spare_v we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o follow_v he_o willing_o as_o his_o child_n and_o to_o resemble_v he_o in_o goodness_n towards_o other_o furthermore_o when_o a_o man_n will_v under_o the_o colour_n of_o his_o authority_n vaunt_v himself_o cruel_o against_o other_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o that_o power_n of_o he_o be_v utter_o perverse_a yea_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o over_o malicious_a nature_n when_o a_o man_n advance_v himself_o after_o that_o sort_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o credit_n contrariwise_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o mild_a and_o love_a nature_n will_v always_o spare_v their_o inferior_n and_o the_o more_o authority_n that_o god_n give_v they_o the_o more_o be_v they_o restrain_v yea_o even_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n for_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v of_o the_o constraint_n that_o come_v by_o other_o man_n like_o those_o which_o play_v the_o lyamhounde_n and_o use_v all_o kind_n of_o

his_o mind_n so_o bridle_v that_o when_o riches_n come_v to_o he_o he_o do_v indeed_o receive_v they_o at_o god_n hand_n and_o be_v glad_a of_o they_o yield_v god_n thanks_n for_o increase_v they_o after_o that_o sort_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o do_v not_o there_o withal_o repose_v his_o felicity_n in_o his_o riches_n and_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o note_v for_o wherein_o do_v man_n abuse_v themselves_o but_o in_o that_o they_o rest_v upon_o these_o transitory_a thing_n whereas_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v lead_v further_a when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o welfare_n and_o felicity_n of_o man_n it_o behove_v we_o all_o too_o tend_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o he_o we_o be_v unhappy_a and_o that_o all_o the_o good_n pleasure_n and_o honour_n which_o we_o can_v possess_v be_v as_o many_o condemnation_n upon_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o will_v behoove_v we_o to_o

thing_n insomuch_o as_o they_o make_v their_o god_n of_o they_o one_o of_o his_o gold_n and_o silver_n another_o of_o his_o honour_n and_o credit_n and_o a_o three_o of_o his_o pleasure_n when_o a_o man_n desire_v to_o be_v rich_a behold_v the_o mark_n that_o he_o shoot_v at_o he_o set_v before_o he_o that_o too_o be_v rich_fw-fr be_v a_o happy_a case_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o let_v

from_o god_n for_o that_o be_v all_o one_o too_o he_o a_o whoremonger_n or_o he_o that_o be_v give_v to_o any_o other_o wicked_a lust_n believe_v that_o all_o go_v well_o with_o he_o and_o he_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v enjoy_v his_o desire_n we_o see_v that_o whereas_o man_n ought_v to_o tend_v and_o travel_v to_o godward_o they_o rest_v themselves_o upon_o corruptible_a thing_n and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v here_o that_o job_n rejoice_v not_o in_o his_o riches_n but_o in_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o make_v he_o rich_a but_o yet_o can_v not_o this_o be_v sufficient_o understand_v if_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v more_o familiar_o not_o that_o the_o word_n be_v overdarke_a of_o themselves_o but_o because_o we_o will_v always_o use_v some_o hypocrisy_n with_o god_n as_o though_o we_o be_v wily_a enough_o to_o beguile_v he_o man_n than_o hope_v ever_o to_o escape_v by_o their_o startinghole_n when_o they_o do_v but_o half_o know_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n say_v at_o one_o word_n that_o we_o must_v not_o rejoice_v in_o riches_n but_o in_o god_n that_o give_v they_o the_o very_a niggard_n and_o the_o very_a pinchpennye_n in_o the_o world_n will_v allege_v this_o excuse_n and_o make_v protestation_n with_o full_a mouth_n oh_o ay_o i_o rejoice_v not_o in_o my_o riches_n but_o forsomuch_o as_o god_n have_v give_v i_o they_o i_o glory_v

say_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o expound_v better_o this_o sentence_n of_o rejoice_v in_o god_n and_o not_o in_o riches_n what_o then_o do_v that_o import_n that_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n who_o have_v give_v we_o the_o good_n that_o we_o possess_v we_o shall_v understand_v that_o therein_o he_o mean_v to_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o see_v he_o be_v our_o

after_o they_o have_v pluck_v out_o one_o leg_n sink_v deep_o with_o the_o other_o so_o as_o they_o can_v get_v out_o so_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o this_o world_n be_v so_o far_o

the_o good_n that_o he_o have_v so_o as_o he_o come_v to_o this_o conclusion_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o separate_v from_o my_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o i_o that_o i_o be_o in_o his_o favour_n and_o therefore_o now_o it_o behoove_v i_o too_o be_v quiet_a for_o he_o be_v the_o thing_n in_o who_o i_o ought_v to_o take_v all_o my_o rest_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o which_o job_n

this_o rejoice_v carry_v a_o thankesgyve_n with_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o we_o have_v wherewith_o too_o rejoice_v in_o god_n it_o behoove_v we_o also_o too_o glorify_v he_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n furthermore_o pride_n also_o be_v condemn_v in_o this_o say_n for_o whereas_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o rejoice_v in_o riches_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o vaunt_v ourselves_o in_o they_o to_o think_v ourselves_o better_a than_o other_o man_n and_o this_o be_v it_o thâ—t_a saint_n paul_n say_v too_o timothee_n warn_v the_o rich_fw-fr man_n of_o this_o world_n that_o they_o be_v not_o proud_a and_o high_a mind_v but_o that_o they_o trust_v in_o the_o live_a god_n there_o saint_n paul_n show_v that_o which_o we_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o
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 against_o they_o as_o their_o mortal_a enemy_n too_o their_o utter_a confusion_n for_o he_o that_o exalt_v himself_o rush_v against_o god_n but_o he_o that_o humble_v himself_o lean_v under_o his_o

his_o lap_n but_o will_v we_o needs_o go_v about_o too_o trust_v too_o our_o own_o strength_n it_o will_v be_v too_o hard_a a_o encounter_n for_o we_o which_o shall_v serve_v too_o break_v our_o

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

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

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

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

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

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

much_o a_o do_v to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v nevertheless_o if_o we_o go_v too_o it_o after_o this_o sort_n god_n will_v turn_v the_o bitterness_n of_o our_o nature_n into_o love_a kindness_n and_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

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

&_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
i_o but_o behold_v god_n come_v to_o buffet_v i_o after_o a_o other_o sort_n he_o suffer_v i_o not_o to_o have_v some_o good_a friend_n to_o counsel_v i_o or_o some_o man_n of_o good_a countenance_n too_o warn_v i_o for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o my_o honesty_n but_o he_o send_v i_o a_o outcast_n see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o i_o i_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v it_o

whole_a world_n here_o will_v i_o keep_v i_o as_o lock_v up_o in_o prison_n we_o know_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o prison_n other_o man_n have_v liberty_n enough_o to_o commence_v action_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

thing_n to_o say_v god_n be_v my_o witness_n when_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o do_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o it_o according_a as_o many_o man_n call_v god_n to_o record_v rash_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v

have_v good_a record_n that_o we_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o god_n and_o can_v also_o show_v the_o same_o in_o deed_n then_o although_o man_n make_v book_n against_o we_o that_o it_o to_o say_v

after_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v his_o last_o protestation_n for_o a_o full_a knit_n up_o if_o my_o land_n say_v he_o have_v cry_v against_o i_o or_o if_o the_o furrow_n thereof_o

earth_n of_o itself_o have_v cause_n to_o complain_v but_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v such_o manner_n of_o speech_n to_o make_v we_o perceive_v the_o better_a and_o with_o great_a vehemency_n that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o before_o god_n the_o creature_n shall_v be_v against_o we_o and_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o as_o how_o if_o we_o have_v oppress_v the_o poor_a labourer_n that_o

their_o blood_n now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a cruelty_n in_o we_o when_o we_o think_v not_o how_o the_o earth_n on_o her_o behalf_n have_v open_v her_o bowel_n according_a to_o the_o order_n that_o god_n have_v fetch_v and_o yield_v her_o fruit_n when_o she_o be_v till_v the_o earth_n they_o have_v do_v her_o duty_n &_o wrought_v with_o her_o labourer_n as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a

scripture_n use_v such_o speech_n we_o see_v the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o think_v ourselves_o quite_o discharge_v if_o we_o may_v find_v some_o pretty_a start_a hole_n and_o although_o we_o be_v convict_v of_o they_o before_o god_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o so_o afraid_a as_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o or_o to_o feel_v how_o dreadful_a the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v spur_v not_o as_o ass_n but_o as_o folk_n that_o be_v utter_o harden_v insomuch_o that_o when_o god_n strike_v upon_o we_o with_o main_n stroke_z as_o upon_o stone_n he_o can_v no_o more_o soften_v we_o or_o make_v we_o to_o yield_v than_o stithy_n or_o anuilde_v except_o it_o be_v by_o force_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o so_o as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n namely_o that_o the_o earth_n cry_v out_o and_o that_o her_o furrow_n ask_v vengeance_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n reprove_v our_o stubborness_n and_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o blind_v in_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o can_v come_v to_o knowledge_n except_o he_o draw_v we_o to_o it_o by_o some_o violent_a mean_n mark_v well_o that_o point_n so_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o continue_v hard-hearted_a when_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n use_v such_o vehemency_n against_o we_o to_o wake_v we_o withal_o but_o at_o leastwise_o let_v we_o then_o enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o fault_n and_o be_v cast_v
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 the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v whole_o give_v to_o obey_v he_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v we_o may_v think_v it_o to_o be_v good_a that_o how_o soever_o he_o dispose_v of_o we_o we_o may_v agree_v

thing_n which_o be_v not_o rightful_a you_o see_v they_o that_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o this_o greatness_n of_o god_n be_v by_o grant_v he_o to_o do_v with_o we_o what_o he_o think_v good_a &_o not_o only_o with_o we_o but_o general_o with_o all_o creature_n now_o we_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a at_o leastwise_o earnest_o and_o unfeigned_o but_o yet_o shall_v man_n never_o yield_v themselves_o to_o the_o obey_n of_o god_n nor_o never_o give_v he_o the_o glory_n that_o he_o deserve_v but_o by_o know_v what_o they_o themselves_o be_v &_o what_o god_n be_v when_o we_o have_v make_v this_o comparison_n &_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v nothing_o &_o that_o god_n surmount_v all_o that_o we_o can_v think_v &_o that_o he_o have_v a_o infinite_a glory_n 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

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

the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n who_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o wrath_n and_o undoubted_o although_o god_n wrath_n be_v a_o fire_n that_o consume_v

to_o mark_v well_o the_o counsel_n that_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n like_v as_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v than_z god_n break_v man_n bone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v use_v so_o

and_o a_o man_n be_v so_o continual_o torment_v as_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a man_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o all_o this_o be_v set_v afore_o we_o but_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n to_o waken_v we_o and_o that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o judgement_n against_o we_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n we_o shall_v the_o better_o be_v think_v we_o that_o those_o torment_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o can_v be_v express_v according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v many_o comparison_n in_o that_o behalf_n why_o do_v it_o liken_v god_n to_o a_o lion_n that_o break_v and_o broze_v thing_n with_o his_o tooth_n and_o pluck_v they_o in_o piece_n with_o his_o paw_n it_o be_v not_o to_o attribute_v such_o a_o cruelty_n unto_o god_n as_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o he_o but_o
i_o not_o serve_v god_n as_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o though_o i_o have_v commit_v some_o fault_n be_v there_o not_o some_o mean_n to_o recompense_v it_o withal_o yes_o and_o i_o have_v do_v this_o and_o that_o behold_v i_o say_v how_o man_n will_v ever_o put_v some_o bar_n in_o god_n way_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v have_v no_o vantage_n of_o they_o thus_o seek_v they_o their_o righteousness_n in_o their_o own_o merit_n but_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o give_v we_o a_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o may_v stand_v before_o he_o he_o use_v a_o contrary_a kind_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v that_o he_o admit_v we_o and_o accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a by_o cover_v our_o sin_n where_o on_o then_o shall_v our_o righteousness_n rest_n on_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o our_o god_n because_o that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o scour_v away_o our_o spot_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n and_o discharge_v we_o from_o death_n and_o damnation_n by_o the_o ransom_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n pay_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o wipe_v out_o our_o sin_n and_o lay_v not_o our_o offence_n to_o our_o charge_n thus_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n messenger_n be_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o accept_v for_o righteous_a and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v continual_o the_o word_n justify_v it_o may_v well_o say_v that_o we_o find_v favour_n or_o grace_n when_o god_n pardon_v we_o according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v often_o say_v so_o but_o the_o holieghoste_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o use_v such_o word_n and_o why_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o righteousness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o agreeument_n between_o he_o and_o unrighteousness_n therefore_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sinner_n we_o be_v loath_o in_o god_n sight_n and_o he_o must_v needs_o reject_v we_o and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o have_v no_o entrance_n unto_o god_n till_o we_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a now_o then_o how_o become_v we_o righteous_a it_o be_v because_o god_n regard_v not_o our_o sin_n but_o bury_v they_o and_o hide_v they_o and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o they_o so_o then_o our_o sin_n be_v wipe_v out_o in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o be_v take_v for_o righteous_a and_o god_n find_v no_o more_o fault_n with_o we_o when_o he_o accept_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n for_o his_o son_n sake_n this_o be_v the_o ryghtuhusnesse_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o strain_n furthermore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v express_o that_o the_o messenger_n which_o recomfort_v we_o be_v one_o among_o a_o thousand_o it_o be_v to_o

and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o pass_v further_o and_o to_o surmount_v they_o all_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n see_v that_o god_n love_n be_v print_v in_o our_o

text_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mind_n well_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o when_o any_o adversity_n befall_v we_o we_o may_v always_o go_v to_o the_o

let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n hold_v theâ—_z rein_v of_o the_o bridle_n above_o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o have_v we_o so_o afflict_v &_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o

see_v heretofore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o prince_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v wicked_a god_n intend_v too_o give_v a_o great_a gloss_n

notwithstanding_o we_o be_v convict_v by_o our_o only_a breathe_n that_o god_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o why_o for_o we_o live_v not_o but_o in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o and_o if_o

consider_v the_o infinite_a glory_n of_o our_o god_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o under_o it_o which_o thing_n we_o do_v not_o and_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o be_v will_v not_o accept_v the_o

be_v take_v away_o with_o out_o hand_n when_o we_o hear_v this_o let_v we_o understand_v first_o that_o such_o as_o be_v great_a must_v not_o trust_v in_o their_o riches_n credit_n knowledge_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o the_o worldward_o they_o shall_v be_v honour_v and_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v themselves_o because_o they_o be_v rich_a &_o have_v well_o wherewith_o and_o also_o because_o they_o be_v in_o favour_n but_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v nothing_o with_o god_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n be_v proud_a of_o his_o own_o

they_o become_v always_o the_o bold_a too_o do_v evil_a and_o that_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o further_o kindle_v of_o god_n wrath_n against_o they_o you_o see_v then_o that_o great_a man_n ought_v too_o put_v this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n of_o know_v that_o god_n accept_v not_o man_n person_n and_o by_o the_o mean_n thereof_o they_o ought_v also_o too_o look_v that_o they_o trample_v not_o the_o little_a one_o under_o their_o foot_n and_o such_o as_o be_v under_o their_o power_n mark_v here_o too_o what_o end_n this_o doctrine_n be_v apply_v and_o to_o what_o purpose_v it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o god_n be_v no_o accepter_n of_o person_n and_o why_o too_o the_o end_n that_o he_o which_o have_v servant_n shall_v not_o oppress_v they_o but_o use_v they_o upright_o as_o saint_n paul_n

let_v the_o great_a man_n of_o this_o world_n learn_v to_o abstain_v from_o swallow_v up_o of_o the_o little_a and_o from_o use_v of_o outrage_n towards_o they_o and_o let_v we_o all_o learn_v to_o

in_o the_o shadow_n of_o their_o riches_n and_o credit_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v judge_v they_o without_o regard_n what_o they_o be_v now_o yea_o and_o that_o their_o

and_o that_o god_n will_v make_v all_o too_o be_v wipe_v away_o at_o midnight_n in_o the_o time_n when_o folk_n give_v themselves_o to_o rest_n and_o when_o every_o man_n seem_v too_o be_v at_o his_o

the_o great_a one_o know_v that_o god_n advance_v of_o they_o be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v despise_v other_o nor_o vaunt_v themselves_o in_o oppress_v the_o lesser_a sort_n but_o rather_o let_v they_o know_v that_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o bind_v unto_o god_n for_o what_o have_v they_o of_o their_o own_o and_o see_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v give_v they_o ought_v

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 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

too_o condemn_v ourselves_o by_o feel_v the_o naughtiness_n that_o be_v root_v to_o deep_a in_o we_o behold_v i_o say_v how_o god_n work_v our_o salvation_n by_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v such_o a_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

the_o end_n they_o shall_v be_v confound_v and_o why_o for_o although_o god_n seem_v as_o now_o to_o handle_v we_o with_o great_a rigour_n yet_o when_o thing_n be_v thorough_o well_o know_v our_o

they_o be_v able_a too_o bear_v yet_o be_v it_o not_o more_o than_o reason_n nor_o more_o than_o they_o have_v deserve_v and_o hereby_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o the_o pride_n or_o rather_o

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

be_v too_o outrageous_a and_o beastly_a a_o deal_n therefore_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v too_o grudge_v and_o impatience_n let_v this_o text_n come_v too_o our_o remembrance_n and_o let_v we_o say_v

how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o what_o know_v thou_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o in_o this_o place_n our_o lord_n mean_v to_o condemn_v all_o man_n wit_n like_v as_o in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o

with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n insomuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o speak_v and_o to_o show_v they_o their_o fault_n then_o the_o lamb_n do_v always_o trouble_v the_o water_n these_o

while_o these_o silly_a lamb_n must_v be_v accuze_v as_o though_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o evil_a sith_o we_o see_v this_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o strengthen_v &_o encourage_v

as_o though_o god_n have_v torment_v he_o wrong_n full_o and_o without_o cause_n and_o thereupon_o it_o shall_v have_v ensue_v that_o god_n deal_v not_o reasonable_o with_o he_o but_o afflict_v he_o

must_v be_v fain_o too_o receive_v it_o of_o god_n he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n from_o whence_o it_o must_v come_v see_v it_o be_v so_o god_n need_v not_o too_o fear_v that_o his_o honour_n shall_v be_v darken_v by_o man_n virtue_n but_o mark_v here_o what_o we_o have_v too_o consider_v we_o shall_v never_o know_v god_n to_o be_v righteous_a and_o mighty_a in_o himself_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v if_o we_o consider_v he_o but_o by_o our_o natural_a wit._n and_o why_o for_o our_o mind_n be_v too_o gross_a and_o heavy_a too_o mount_n so_o high_a but_o when_o we_o see_v the_o virtue_n and_o

be_v he_o continual_o magnify_v as_o in_o the_o thing_n wherewith_o he_o be_v serve_v and_o honour_v so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o that_o we_o must_v no_o more_o match_n god_n with_o man_n nor_o

we_o too_o have_v here_o some_o mark_n of_o god_n providence_n too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v give_v he_o his_o due_a glory_n and_o say_v lord_n thou_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n howesoever_o

that_o all_o thing_n be_v guide_v by_o thy_o hand_n and_o thou_o haste_v sovereign_a dominion_n over_o all_o thing_n you_o see_v then_o what_o eliu_n treat_v of_o here_o and_o first_o of_o all_o he_o say_v that_o god_n quicken_v not_o the_o wicked_a that_o he_o give_v judgement_n too_o the_o afflict_a and_o that_o he_o turn_v not_o away_o his_o eye_n from_o the_o righteous_a these_o sentence_n which_o eliu_n take_v be_v general_a and_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o general_o too_o conclude_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a even_o when_o we_o perceive_v not_o any_o sign_n of_o his_o

of_o our_o belief_n that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v come_v too_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o true_o as_o i_o have_v say_v if_o all_o thing_n be_v dispose_v as_o be_v too_o be_v wish_v what_o a_o matter_n be_v it_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o look_v for_o the_o last_o resurrection_n do_v we_o then_o see_v that_o god_n execute_v not_o all_o his_o judgement_n but_o reserve_v

give_v all_o power_n too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v appear_v in_o his_o majesty_n too_o right_a all_o thing_n that_o be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o too_o set_v they_o at_o a_o stay_n and_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n punish_v some_o offence_n and_o deliver_v those_o that_o be_v he_o whether_o it_o be_v ourselves_o or_o other_o let_v the_o same_o susfise_v we_o too_o allow_v of_o his_o

too_o be_v find_v be_v but_o theevishnesse_n because_o it_o proceed_v not_o of_o a_o good_a and_o sound_n mind_n that_o hold_v out_o continual_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o god_n he_o be_v not_o move_v with_o favour_n nor_o corrupt_v with_o reward_n what_o then_o he_o judge_v according_a too_o the_o truth_n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o when_o god_n

that_o be_v speak_v too_o we_o in_o his_o name_n and_o authority_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o malicious_a the_o

there_o be_v yet_o another_o point_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o eagle_n gather_v together_o to_o the_o place_n where_o carrion_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o sith_o the_o bird_n

more_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v resort_v to_o the_o place_n where_o god_n show_v we_o that_o our_o life_n be_v and_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o bird_n resort_v together_o for_o

that_o these_o poor_a bird_n have_v a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o seek_v their_o meat_n and_o pray_v and_o where_o shall_v we_o on_o our_o side_n find_v our_o life_n shall_v we_o be_v so_o

come_v back_o to_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o i_o touch_v at_o the_o beginning_n according_a also_o as_o god_n conclude_v with_o the_o same_o namely_o be_v it_o learning_n to_o contend_v with_o the_o almighty_a let_v he_o that_o correct_v god_n answer_v to_o it_o this_o then_o serve_v to_o show_v we_o too_o what_o purpose_n so_o many_o thing_n have_v be_v discourse_v for_o a_o man_n may_v

of_o the_o till_v of_o the_o ground_n and_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o sail_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o nature_n of_o beast_n too_o what_o purpose_n be_v all_o this_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o god_n seek_v rove_a reason_n yea_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v the_o point_n that_o i_o touch_v we_o shall_v find_v it_o much_o more_o available_a for_o we_o that_o he_o maintain_v his_o righteousness_n after_o that_o manner_n than_o if_o he_o have_v dispute_v of_o it_o without_o set_v his_o creature_n afore_o we_o and_o why_o for_o we_o must_v come_v back_o to_o this_o conclusion_n that_o although_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o with_o our_o babble_n yet_o shall_v we_o win_v nothing_o by_o it_o for_o we_o can_v not_o cry_v so_o loud_a as_o too_o beat_v his_o ear_n with_o it_o

notwithstanding_o spare_v his_o creature_n and_o utter_v not_o his_o say_a power_n but_o upon_o the_o proud_a and_o the_o wicked_a god_n then_o be_v almighty_a but_o yet_o howsoever_o the_o world_n

and_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n against_o themselves_o we_o will_v walk_v in_o another_o manner_n of_o mildness_n and_o simplicity_n than_o we_o do_v but_o what_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o god_n

by_o this_o lesson_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o who_o be_v the_o proud_a one_o for_o the_o pride_n be_v not_o always_o know_v unto_o man_n to_o condemn_v it_o but_o whosoever_o trust_v in_o his_o own_o

must_v not_o take_v occasion_n to_o exalt_v ourselves_o for_o it_o for_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o bind_v unto_o god_n again_o let_v he_o that_o be_v great_a endeavour_n to_o serve_v the_o

or_o if_o we_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n too_o disdain_v our_o neighbour_n by_o reason_n of_o god_n gracious_a gift_n it_o be_v a_o presumptuousness_n that_o offend_v god_n and_o provoke_v his_o

not_o conceive_v any_o presumption_n that_o may_v lift_v we_o up_o but_o to_o be_v short_a at_o one_o word_n let_v we_o say_v we_o be_v nothing_o
eye_n sure_o we_o shall_v never_o miss_v too_o espy_v and_o discern_v that_o god_n govern_v the_o world_n rightful_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o way_n too_o put_v this_o lesson_n in_o practice_n be_v that_o when_o we_o know_v god_n in_o himself_o as_o he_o be_v and_o that_o he_o have_v utter_v himself_o by_o effect_n and_o experience_n we_o must_v come_v down_o to_o ourselves_o and_o

therefore_o when_o any_o of_o we_o have_v the_o power_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o he_o need_v not_o to_o resort_v any_o more_o too_o heaven_n for_o refuge_n nor_o too_o call_v upon_o god_n too_o

will_v not_o envy_v he_o for_o it_o but_o will_v rather_o say_v very_o well_o let_v we_o part_v stake_n this_o be_v i_o and_o that_o be_v thou_o for_o have_v god_n any_o need_n too_o borrow_v of_o

this_o world_n to_o set_v out_o his_o majesty_n power_n and_o righteousness_n shall_v deface_v he_o and_o hinder_v the_o know_v of_o his_o glory_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o great_a brightness_n furthermore_o we_o see_v how_o he_o work_v when_o it_o please_v he_o without_o the_o put_v too_o of_o man_n hand_n in_o conclusion_n it_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o

more_o so_o saucy_a as_o to_o come_v to_o set_v ourselves_o against_o he_o and_o here_o be_v express_a mention_n make_v of_o behemoth_n now_o the_o word_n behema_n signify_v simple_o a_o beast_n and_o under_o that_o name_n be_v ox_n and_o all_o other_o beast_n comprehend_v here_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n look_v upon_o behemoth_n who_o i_o create_v with_o thou_o and_o although_o

that_o he_o speak_v of_o except_o it_o be_v a_o elephant_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o hugeness_n of_o that_o beast_n body_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o speak_v not_o here_o neither_o of_o ox_n

between_o that_o kind_n of_o beast_n whereof_o he_o speak_v and_o oxen._n and_o therefore_o without_o trouble_v ourselves_o too_o much_o for_o the_o matter_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n in_o this_o

which_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o it_o but_o they_o which_o see_v those_o beast_n ought_v to_o be_v afraid_a at_o the_o only_a look_n of_o they_o the_o bigness_n of_o they_o be_v so_o huge_a as_o they_o seem_v too_o be_v thing_n make_v by_o art_n and_o not_o by_o nature_n but_o if_o we_o be_v wize_n enough_o we_o need_v not_o to_o go_v out_o of_o ourselves_o to_o behold_v the_o majesty_n of_o

that_o he_o will_v hear_v they_o and_o have_v pity_n upon_o they_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o correction_n be_v profitable_a too_o we_o when_o god_n shut_v not_o the_o gate_n against_o we_o but_o

so_o as_o we_o shall_v chafe_v upon_o the_o bridle_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v none_o amendment_n in_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n work_v man_n a_o singular_a benefit_n when_o after_o his_o cause_v of_o they_o to_o feel_v their_o own_o naughtiness_n he_o show_v they_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o shall_v obtain_v favour_n if_o they_o seek_v it_o but_o

that_o all_o man_n else_o shall_v stand_v aloof_o acknowledge_v themselves_o unworthy_a to_o press_v near_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v to_o betoken_v that_o without_o a_o mediator_n to_o go_v in_o unto_o god_n on_o our_o behalf_n it_o shall_v never_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o
he_o shall_v utter_o quail_v say_v what_o boot_v it_o a_o man_n to_o serve_v god_n see_v that_o such_o as_o have_v walk_v in_o his_o fear_n be_v most_o unfortunate_a but_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o
