A13823	The revvard of religion Deliuered in sundrie lectures vpon the booke of Ruth, wherein the godly may see their daily and outwarde tryals, with the presence of God to assist them, and his mercies to recompence them: verie profitable for this present time of dearth, wherein manye are most pittifully tormented with want; and also worthie to bee considered in this golden age of the preaching of the word, when some vomit vp the loathsomnes therof, and others fall away to damnable securitie.

because_o he_o be_v a_o wicked_a amalekite_n 25.17_o of_o a_o nation_n who_o the_o lord_n command_v the_o jew_n utter_o to_o destroy_v neither_o to_o spare_v man_n woman_n or_o child_n 15.9_o as_o

it_o be_v think_v that_o the_o honour_n which_o haman_n obtain_v be_v proper_a only_o to_o god_n because_o he_o be_v advance_v above_o all_o other_o and_o such_o kind_n of_o reverence_n we_o must_v

who_o they_o know_v to_o be_v godly_a but_o the_o wicked_a they_o think_v unworthy_a of_o reverence_n because_o our_o saviour_n will_v do_v none_o to_o herod_n or_o pilate_n paul_n to_o the_o high_a

we_o must_v with_o abraham_n bend_v as_o well_o to_o the_o idolatrous_a hebron_n as_o with_o bathshebah_n to_o godly_a david_n if_o they_o receive_v more_o than_o they_o be_v worthy_a it_o be_v not_o
