so_o man_n desire_v to_o dally_v with_o pleasure_n because_o of_o their_o lustre_n at_o the_o length_n loose_v themselves_o among_o they_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o fear_v god_n their_o father_n when_o he_o come_v to_o they_o under_o the_o mask_n of_o affliction_n or_o death_n also_o man_n do_v engender_v in_o himself_o either_o foolish_a or_o pernicious_a fear_n some_o one_o be_v jealous_a that_o his_o wife_n do_v affect_v other_o end_n vore_v to_o espy_v &_o search_v out_o that_o which_o he_o fear_v to_o find_v &_o by_o this_o mean_n anger_v she_o so_o that_o she_o seek_v to_o be_v revenge_v in_o such_o nature_n which_o he_o former_o suspect_v some_o other_o fear_v to_o live_v without_o honour_n commit_v such_o thing_n that_o subject_n his_o body_n to_o some_o cruel_a torment_n and_o stain_v the_o memory_n of_o he_o with_o perpetual_a infamy_n soon_o other_o fear_v the_o want_n of_o riches_n but_o he_o shall_v want_v it_o &_o die_v without_o it_o some_o again_o fear_v he_o shall_v die_v before_o marriage_n but_o god_n will_v attend_v that_o time_n and_o by_o wedlock_n will_v make_v he_o twice_o miserable_a when_o i_o consider_v what_o wisdom_n childish_a wisdom_n humane_a wisdom_n be_v i_o find_v it_o agreeable_a to_o the_o industry_n of_o mole_n which_o dig_v under_o ground_n with_o much_o dexterity_n but_o be_v blind_a when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o sun_n so_o we_o have_v much_o skill_n in_o earthly_a affair_n to_o sell_v to_o covenant_n and_o to_o supplant_v any_o one_o but_o take_v one_o of_o these_o man_n which_o be_v most_o subtle_a in_o these_o thing_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o brightness_n and_o light_n of_o the_o holy_a gospel_n and_o there_o he_o be_v altogether_o blind_a and_o of_o a_o self_n conceit_n will_v continue_v so_o for_o during_o the_o time_n that_o he_o do_v foresee_v future_a event_n &_o alteration_n of_o estate_n he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o own_o destruction_n while_o that_o he_o discourse_v on_o the_o affair_n of_o kingdom_n he_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o blind_a judgement_n of_o he_o dare_v contest_v against_o the_o ever_o live_v god_n the_o folly_n and_o foolishness_n of_o the_o child_n of_o darkness_n against_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o the_o discretion_n of_o man_n against_o the_o providence_n of_o the_o almighty_a for_o the_o wicked_a do_v cover_v themselves_o with_o silence_n craft_n and_o dissimulation_n like_v unto_o little_a child_n which_o think_v that_o they_o be_v sufficient_o hide_v when_o their_o eye_n be_v close_v believe_v that_o no_o body_n see_v they_o when_o they_o see_v no_o body_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n god_n perceive_v they_o both_o naked_a &_o uncover_v yea_o better_a they_o they_o know_v themselves_o for_o god_n be_v not_o only_o all_o hand_n in_o hold_v and_o conduct_v the_o whole_a universe_n but_o also_o all_o eye_n in_o see_v &_o dicersning_n all_o thing_n in_o it_o the_o thick_a body_n be_v to_o he_o transparent_a and_o darkness_n itself_o be_v to_o he_o light_n &_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n david_n do_v justly_o reprehend_v that_o foolish_a wisdom_n in_o the_o 94._o psalm_n where_o he_o say_v understand_v you_o unwise_a among_o the_o people_n and_o you_o fool_n when_o will_v you_o be_v wise_a he_o that_o plant_v the_o ear_n shall_v he_o not_o hear_v or_o he_o that_o form_v the_o eye_n shall_v he_o not_o see_v now_o in_o this_o place_n he_o call_v they_o unwise_a not_o which_o be_v fool_n and_o run_v up_o and_o down_o the_o street_n nor_o those_o private_a &_o particular_a man_n which_o be_v without_o office_n nor_o the_o heavy-spirited_n commons_o but_o such_o as_o be_v crafty_a &_o manage_v affair_n with_o dexterity_n think_v by_o their_o sagacity_n to_o cover_v themselves_o from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n or_o to_o dazzle_v the_o eye_n of_o his_o sacred_a providence_n like_o unto_o the_o most_o dangerous_a ague_n which_o be_v under_o the_o appearance_n of_o coldness_n so_o the_o most_o ridiculous_a folly_n be_v that_o which_o lie_v under_o the_o appearance_n of_o wisdom_n it_o behove_v also_o the_o faithful_a to_o

life_n as_o in_o a_o fair_a where_o there_o come_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n one_o for_o to_o buy_v &_o sell_v the_o other_o only_o to_o see_v man_n that_o fear_v god_n be_v like_a to_o one_o of_o those_o which_o come_v to_o see_v he_o be_v not_o here_o to_o be_v idle_a &_o search_v for_o nothing_o but_o to_o contemplate_v the_o work_n of_o god_n &_o humane_a action_n but_o he_o may_v say_v

to_o do_v withal_o what_o if_o during_o this_o contemplation_n some_o one_o do_v iossell_n or_o throng_n upon_o he_o or_o if_o one_o cut_v his_o purse_n that_o be_v do_v afflict_v or_o deprive_v he_o of_o any_o thing_n all_o that_o such_o a_o one_o will_v do_v be_v to_o go_v out_o of_o that_o company_n &_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n will_v travel_v towards_o
