for_o the_o wicked_a cover_v themselves_o with_o silence_n subtlety_n and_o dissemble_v like_o little_a child_n who_o think_v they_o be_v hide_v when_o they_o shut_v their_o eye_n and_o that_o nobody_o see_v they_o because_o they_o see_v nobody_o but_o god_n see_v they_o all_o bare_a and_o naked_a better_a than_o they_o see_v themselves_o god_n who_o be_v not_o only_o all_o hand_n as_o hold_v and_o guide_v all_o but_o also_o all_o eye_n as_o see_v or_o search_v all_o thing_n he_o see_v through_o the_o thick_a substance_n and_o darkness_n be_v light_a unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o the_o royal_a prophet_n ps._n 94._o just_o tax_v this_o sottish_a wisdom_n take_v heed_n you_o unwise_a among_o the_o people_n you_o fool_n when_o will_v you_o understand_v he_o that_o plant_v the_o ear_n shall_v not_o be_v hear_v or_o he_o that_o make_v the_o eye_n shall_v not_o he_o see_v in_o this_o place_n the_o prophet_n call_v they_o unwise_a not_o the_o fool_n that_o run_v mad_a up_o and_o down_o the_o street_n not_o the_o idiot_n not_o the_o gross_a common_a people_n but_o the_o great_a politician_n who_o manage_v all_o their_o matter_n so_o smooth_o as_o if_o they_o think_v to_o hide_v themselves_o from_o the_o all-seeing_a wisdom_n of_o god_n or_o to_o dazzle_v the_o eye_n of_o his_o providence_n but_o as_o those_o be_v the_o fierce_a fever_n that_o have_v the_o cold_a fit_a at_o first_o so_o that_o be_v the_o most_o desperate_a folly_n that_o be_v vizard_v with_o wisdom_n and_o great_a discretion_n thus_o the_o godly_a man_n must_v observe_v the_o action_n and_o affection_n of_o man_n and_o consider_v all_o the_o unprofitable_a travel_n of_o this_o life_n and_o according_o frame_v his_o meditation_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n as_o there_o be_v in_o a_o fair_a some_o come_v to_o buy_v and_o sell_v other_o only_o to_o look_v about_o he_o that_o fear_v god_n be_v but_o a_o looker_n on_o he_o come_v not_o to_o buy_v or_o sell_v but_o only_o to_o observe_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o the_o action_n of_o man_n that_o when_o he_o see_v the_o glitter_n of_o vain_a curiosity_n which_o man_n expose_v to_o view_v he_o may_v say_v oh_a what_o a_o number_n of_o thing_n there_o be_v in_o this_o world_n that_o i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o but_o if_o while_o he_o be_v thus_o look_v about_o he_o happen_v to_o get_v some_o hurt_n or_o be_v justle_v or_o have_v his_o purse_n cut_v that_o be_v if_o he_o be_v trouble_v or_o afflict_v he_o will_v present_o be_v go_v and_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v set_v forward_o towards_o his_o own_o country_n his_o home_n in_o the_o heaven_n aim_v always_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v towards_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o high_a call_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 14._o if_o the_o world_n contemn_v he_o he_o contemn_v that_o contempt_n know_v himself_o to_o be_v better_a than_o the_o world_n and_o call_v to_o a_o better_a hope_n he_o will_v esteem_v light_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o business_n thereof_o base_a and_o tedious_a and_o like_o mary_n in_o the_o 10_o of_o luke_n he_o will_v choose_v the_o better_a part_n which_o can_v be_v take_v from_o he_o conclude_v all_o his_o meditation_n of_o vanity_n as_o solomon_n do_v in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o ecclesiast_n the_o end_n of_o all_o be_v this_o fear_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n after_o this_o meditation_n we_o must_v rest_v ourselves_o upon_o those_o two_o maxim_n and_o proposition_n which_o be_v the_o two_o sanctuary_n of_o religion_n the_o first_o that_o to_o love_n god_n we_o must_v contemn_v the_o world_n the_o second_o that_o to_o contemn_v the_o world_n we_o must_v be_v think_v ourselves_o of_o our_o own_o worth_n and_o dignity_n and_o the_o excellency_n of_o our_o vocation_n the_o first_o maxim_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n john_n 11._o love_v not_o the_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n if_o any_o love_n the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o he_o for_o all_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n be_v not_o of_o the_o father_n but_o be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n pass_v away_o etc._n etc._n nothing_o drive_v we_o further_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n than_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o world_n the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n and_o as_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o light_n but_o by_o opposition_n to_o the_o sun_n so_o our_o soul_n be_v in_o darkness_n but_o when_o we_o look_v unto_o god_n so_o again_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o light_n in_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n 8._o so_o our_o soul_n lose_v their_o light_n as_o the_o scripture_n call_v we_o child_n of_o light_n when_o they_o be_v obscure_v and_o eclipse_v with_o the_o love_n of_o earthly_a thing_n 8._o as_o worldly_a care_n and_o covetousness_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o tread_v under_o our_o foot_n like_o the_o church_n in_o the_o revelation_n 12._o which_o have_v the_o moon_n under_o her_o foot_n that_o be_v trample_v upon_o all_o the_o unchangeable_a unsteadiness_n of_o these_o sublunary_a thing_n and_o as_o christ_n will_v have_v the_o penny_n pay_v for_o tribute_n to_o caesar_n because_o it_o bear_v his_o image_n so_o we_o must_v give_v ourselves_o to_o god_n because_o we_o bear_v his_o image_n the_o misery_n be_v this_o we_o often_o deface_v the_o image_n and_o batter_v it_o against_o the_o ground_n bemire_v ourselves_o with_o base_a thought_n and_o dirty_a desire_n therefore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v contemn_v the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o world_n can_v promise_v or_o do_v for_o we_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v to_o know_v the_o worth_n and_o excellency_n of_o godly_a man_n for_o when_o man_n by_o fox-friendship_n and_o cruel_a subtlety_n will_v entice_v a_o godly_a man_n to_o do_v ill_a and_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o his_o own_o conscience_n then_o let_v he_o look_v into_o himself_o and_o thus_o argue_v i_o that_o be_o a_o child_n of_o god_n of_o heavenly_a parentage_n one_o of_o the_o first-born_a who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o heaven_n shall_v i_o value_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o world_n any_o thing_n worth_n which_o if_o they_o be_v certain_a yet_o they_o be_v too_o mean_a for_o i_o win_v a_o king_n son_n with_o apple_n tempt_v the_o son_n of_o the_o great_a prince_n of_o heaven_n with_o money_n to_o offend_v his_o father_n and_o like_o esau_n sell_v his_o birthright_n for_o a_o mess_n of_o pottage_n i_o will_v never_o do_v it_o god_n will_v never_o suffer_v i_o to_o be_v so_o hood-wink_v he_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o christ_n that_o do_v not_o think_v the_o world_n unworthy_a of_o he_o be_v not_o the_o world_n make_v for_o the_o godly_z sake_n and_o will_v not_o god_n destroy_v it_o again_o and_o provide_v a_o house_n far_o more_o glorious_a for_o we_o and_o a_o more_o beautiful_a heaven_n than_o that_o we_o now_o behold_v which_o be_v indeed_o too_o mean_a for_o the_o dignity_n of_o god_n child_n thou_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o have_v faith_n in_o his_o son_n i_o will_v have_v thou_o know_v that_o it_o be_v thou_o that_o uphold_v the_o world_n and_o for_o who_o sake_n the_o wicked_a be_v yet_o suffer_v to_o live_v so_o far_o be_v god_n enemy_n indebt_v to_o thou_o and_o god_n suffer_v the_o world_n to_o continue_v for_o the_o elect_v sake_n whereof_o some_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o wicked_a other_o be_v not_o yet_o bear_v and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 6_o of_o the_o revelation_n god_n stay_v until_o the_o number_n of_o our_o brethren_n be_v fulfil_v and_o that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o cause_n why_o our_o saviour_n call_v his_o disciple_n the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n 31._o as_o a_o small_a part_n among_o man_n that_o preserve_v the_o rest_n and_o retard_v the_o dissolution_n god_n continue_v the_o bad_a for_o the_o good_n sake_n that_o the_o bad_a may_v profit_v at_o the_o example_n of_o the_o good_a and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v drive_v to_o fear_v god_n and_o trust_v in_o his_o promise_n this_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n child_n they_o must_v esteem_v of_o the_o
