but_o the_o conscience_n be_v prick_v and_o oppress_v so_o much_o with_o fear_n &_o doubtfulness_n of_o god_n ire_n for_o sin_n that_o he_o think_v god_n can_v be_v merciful_a unto_o other_o but_o

of_o the_o shepherd_n hand_n bring_v there_o be_v the_o great_a treasure_n and_o most_o necessary_a riches_n for_o the_o sheep_n of_o god_n utter_v which_o be_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n

the_o heavenly_a father_n teach_v and_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o mansion_n and_o dwell_a place_n of_o life_n everlasting_a and_o if_o man_n be_v wise_a he_o may_v soon_o perceive_v how_o much_o the_o life_n to_o come_v be_v better_a than_o the_o life_n present_a yea_o be_v it_o never_o so_o favourable_o feed_v and_o preserve_v by_o the_o heavenly_a father_n our_o shepherd_n and_o governor_n for_o

these_o joy_n and_o glory_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n both_o constant_o and_o cheerful_o say_v the_o lord_n feed_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v lack_v nothing_o for_o all_o thing_n of_o this_o

have_v of_o any_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v open_v in_o this_o psalm_n in_o that_o at_o the_o first_o time_n the_o prophet_n record_v god_n work_n and_o be_v so_o trouble_v in_o his_o mind_n that_o he_o

etc._n in_o this_o verse_n and_o in_o the_o next_o follow_v it_o be_v contain_v three_o kind_n of_o word_n remembrance_n meditation_n and_o speech_n by_o the_o first_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o profit_v nothing_o to_o read_v or_o hear_v god_n word_n except_o we_o remember_v it_o &_o bear_v it_o away_o with_o us._n by_o the_o next_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o avail_v we_o not_o to_o learn_v and_o bear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o remembrance_n except_o by_o meditation_n and_o think_v upon_o it_o we_o understand_v what_o it_o mean_v and_o by_o the_o three_o we_o learn_v that_o neither_o the_o remembrance_n it_o nor_o the_o understanding_n thereof_o profit_v except_o we_o teach_v and_o instruct_v other_o in_o the_o same_o of_o who_o we_o have_v charge_n if_o we_o may_v now_o to_o consider_v further_o we_o see_v how_o the_o prophet_n begin_v with_o this_o word_n remembrance_n whereof_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v learn_v before_o out_o of_o god_n word_n god_n nature_n towards_o penitent_a sinner_n to_o forgive_v they_o and_o towards_o wilful_a obstinate_a and_o impenitent_a sinner_n to_o be_v a_o just_a judge_n to_o punish_v they_o here_o be_v the_o ignorance_n of_o all_o people_n condemn_v that_o never_o learn_v to_o know_v god_n word_n in_o sickness_n nor_o in_o health_n but_o when_o they_o be_v trouble_v or_o sick_a they_o send_v for_o such_o as_o they_o think_v and_o fancy_n have_v learned_a and_o do_v remember_v how_o god_n word_n do_v comfort_n in_o adversity_n and_o then_o if_o he_o that_o be_v send_v for_o be_v not_o learned_a in_o god_n word_n he_o can_v remember_v how_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o comfort_v the_o trouble_a or_o sick_a then_o all_o that_o ever_o the_o sick_a man_n hear_v of_o a_o ignorant_a comforter_n or_o counsellor_n be_v as_o clean_o void_a of_o consolation_n or_o counsel_n as_o though_o he_o have_v never_o send_v for_o a_o counsellor_n or_o comforter_n for_o no_o man_n can_v have_v more_o of_o another_o than_o the_o other_o have_v himself_o which_o be_v neither_o knowledge_n counsel_n nor_o consolation_n out_o of_o god_n word_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v knowledge_n consolation_n nor_o comfort_n to_o another_o if_o the_o prophet_n asaph_n have_v be_v as_o the_o most_o part_n of_o people_n now_o a_o day_n be_v that_o fall_v sick_a and_o into_o many_o kind_n of_o trouble_n &_o have_v send_v for_o a_o ignorant_a fool_n which_o common_o be_v call_v a_o ghostly_a father_n he_o have_v be_v in_o as_o good_a take_n as_o these_o wretched_a soul_n be_v that_o be_v comfortless_o seek_v comfort_n where_o none_o be_v to_o be_v have_v seek_v knowledge_n where_o none_o be_v &_o seek_v counsel_n where_o ignorance_n abound_v let_v all_o man_n therefore_o remember_v this_o verse_n that_o when_o the_o prophet_n be_v in_o trouble_n he_o remember_v the_o wisdom_n and_o marvellous_a work_n of_o god_n for_o he_o know_v they_o before_o so_o let_v all_o man_n and_o woman_n learn_v before_o they_o come_v into_o trouble_n a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n they_o may_v remember_v it_o to_o their_o consolation_n but_o now_o to_o the_o second_o word_n where_o he_o say_v he_o will_v meditate_v in_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n here_o be_v another_o notable_a doctrine_n that_o neither_o the_o learning_n of_o god_n word_n nor_o the_o remembrance_n thereof_o profit_v any_o thing_n except_o it_o be_v understand_v and_o apply_v to_o the_o use_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o for_o and_o here_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n wonderful_o condemn_v the_o one_o sort_n be_v those_o that_o for_o custom_n or_o bondage_n to_o their_o profession_n do_v learn_v without_o the_o book_n a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o else_o by_o daily_a use_n in_o sing_v or_o say_v their_o service_n as_o it_o be_v call_v they_o learn_v to_o sing_v and_o say_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o bible_n but_o this_o avail_v nothing_o nor_o they_o understand_v it_o not_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n appoint_v it_o for_o nor_o perchance_o the_o grammatical_a construction_n thereof_o and_o these_o remembrance_n of_o god_n word_n be_v nothing_o but_o lip_n labour_n and_o honour_v of_o god_n with_o the_o mouth_n 29._o but_o the_o hart_n be_v far_o away_o which_o before_o god_n be_v in_o vain_a 15._o and_o of_o no_o estimation_n the_o other_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v such_o as_o profess_v the_o gospel_n that_o have_v learned_a much_o and_o can_v remember_v much_o but_o follow_v very_o little_a so_o that_o they_o be_v nothing_o the_o better_a for_o it_o the_o three_o word_n be_v that_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o will_v speak_v of_o god_n and_o his_o work_n as_o outward_o and_o inward_o he_o remember_v they_o and_o with_o his_o spirit_n do_v meditate_v they_o as_o it_o be_v likewise_o the_o part_n and_o duty_n of_o all_o christian_a man_n so_o to_o do_v for_o as_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o heart_n to_o justice_n 10._o so_o will_v they_o confess_v it_o to_o salvation_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v to_o the_o roman_n here_o in_o this_o word_n be_v three_o sort_n of_o people_n condemn_v condemn_v the_o one_o that_o will_v not_o confess_v and_o teach_v the_o truth_n for_o fear_n of_o lose_v their_o advantage_n the_o other_o will_v not_o confess_v and_o teach_v the_o truth_n for_o sluggishness_n and_o sloth_n and_o the_o three_o will_v not_o confess_v and_o teach_v the_o truth_n for_o timidity_n and_o fear_n in_o the_o first_o sort_n be_v such_o as_o know_v doctrine_n for_o the_o soul_n or_o medicine_n for_o the_o body_n and_o yet_o because_o they_o get_v gain_n thereby_o they_o will_v not_o have_v too_o many_o know_v thereof_o lest_o their_o own_o gain_n shall_v be_v the_o less_o as_o we_o fee_n such_o a_o one_o as_o know_v a_o good_a method_n and_o order_n to_o teach_v will_v be_v loath_a it_o shall_v be_v common_a because_o his_o estimation_n and_o gain_n as_o he_o think_v shall_v diminish_v &_o decrease_v the_o excellent_a physician_n will_v not_o have_v his_o cunning_a common_a lest_o many_o man_n as_o cunning_a as_o he_o shall_v part_v his_o gain_n amongst_o they_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v those_o that_o come_v to_o great_a live_n by_o their_o learning_n well_o and_o when_o they_o have_v the_o reward_n of_o learning_n they_o teach_v no_o more_o as_o bishop_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n who_o the_o prophet_n call_v dumb_a dog_n that_o can_v bark_v 56._o their_o mouth_n be_v so_o choke_v with_o the_o bone_n of_o bishopric_n and_o benefice_n i_o speak_v of_o such_o as_o know_v the_o truth_n and_o love_n it_o and_o not_o of_o such_o as_o neither_o know_v it_o nor_o love_n it_o for_o although_o those_o man_n speak_v but_o seldom_o yet_o it_o be_v too_o much_o for_o better_a it_o be_v never_o to_o speak_v then_o to_o speak_v false_o the_o third_o sort_n be_v our_o nichodeme_n nichodeme_n that_o can_v speak_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o night_n or_o to_o their_o friend_n but_o open_o they_o will_v confess_v nothing_o with_o the_o mouth_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n outwarde_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v sound_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o these_o man_n be_v assure_v they_o shall_v have_v their_o reward_n 10._o that_o christ_n will_v deny_v they_o before_o his_o father_n which_o be_v in_o
