same_o text_n to_o the_o latter_a come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n how_o then_o be_v it_o that_o jesus_n christ_n reign_v it_o be_v when_o his_o enemy_n be_v confound_v by_o his_o simple_a

the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v god_n thunder_v upon_o all_o the_o despiser_n thereof_o and_o upon_o all_o such_o as_o become_v hard_o heart_v and_o stubborn_a against_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o for_o a_o time_n we_o perceive_v not_o the_o force_n of_o this_o word_n in_o punish_v the_o wicked_a but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v how_o it_o be_v not_o in_o

by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o say_a sentence_n let_v we_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o feel_v not_o the_o force_n enclose_v in_o the_o same_o to_o our_o own_o confusion_n but_o rather_o see_v the_o experience_n of_o it_o to_o our_o welfare_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o text_n afterward_o there_o be_v a_o similitude_n of_o lion_n lioness_n and_o lioness_n whelp_n how_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v scatter_v and_o destroy_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o eliphassis_n meaning_n here_o be_v that_o god_n stretch_v out_o his_o strong_a arm_n against_o such_o as_o be_v outrageous_a and_o violent_a against_o man_n and_o to_o be_v short_a which_o resemble_v lion_n and_o wild_a beast_n here_o we_o see_v what_o the_o effect_n be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v the_o meek_a one_o so_o afflict_v as_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n will_v break_v they_o and_o brooze_v they_o in_o piece_n as_o we_o have_v example_n in_o david_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o this_o sentence_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v true_a special_o if_o we_o consider_v god_n judgement_n how_o he_o proceed_v with_o they_o most_o common_o for_o as_o touch_v the_o punishment_n that_o god_n lay_v upon_o the_o world_n there_o can_v no_o rule_n be_v make_v of_o they_o without_o exception_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o be_v merciless_a shall_v have_v judgement_n without_o mercy_n we_o must_v not_o understand_v it_o in_o all_o point_n and_o in_o all_o case_n according_a to_o the_o present_a course_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v neither_o must_v we_o conclude_v that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v cruel_o persecute_v have_v therefore_o be_v cruel_a we_o see_v what_o befall_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n the_o mirror_n and_o the_o pattern_n of_o all_o god_n child_n we_o see_v also_o what_o have_v befall_v to_o most_o of_o the_o faithful_a but_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v we_o

it_o be_v not_o mean_v hereby_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v exempt_v from_o all_o inconvenience_n only_a god_n will_v cause_v that_o we_o shall_v possess_v the_o earth_n very_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o

his_o arm_n to_o be_v strong_a as_o we_o ordinary_o see_v for_o whereupon_o shall_v god_n show_v his_o judgement_n more_o great_a and_o notable_a than_o upon_o these_o lion_n that_o be_v like_o wood_n beast_n set_v upon_o the_o spoil_n yea_o and_o glut_v with_o man_n blood_n we_o see_v how_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n more_o notable_o in_o that_o case_n than_o upon_o the_o little_a one_o and_o upon_o those_o that_o have_v not_o exercise_v such_o violence_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o god_n judgement_n and_o to_o prevent_v they_o and_o as_o oft_o as_o he_o execute_v such_o thing_n upon_o those_o that_o be_v give_v to_o hurt_v their_o neighbour_n let_v we_o glorify_v he_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o

then_o when_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o cast_v off_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v look_v upon_o god_n judgement_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v perceive_v they_o when_o

blameworthy_a see_v that_o god_n show_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v so_o horrible_a as_o we_o can_v mislike_v enough_o of_o they_o and_o that_o although_o a_o man_n be_v grieve_v in_o himself_o and_o

but_o what_o man_n be_v so_o stately_a as_o they_o can_v stoop_v though_o the_o scripture_n confound_v they_o according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o notwithstanding_o this_o man_n think_v still_o to_o

our_o salvation_n the_o papist_n will_v have_v nothing_o but_o their_o own_o freewill_n merit_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o say_v that_o man_n be_v utter_o void_a of_o all_o righteousness_n &_o have_v not_o aught_o in_o himself_o but_o cursedness_n must_v flee_v for_o succour_v too_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o seek_v that_o thing_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o person_n we_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v our_o sin_n and_o the_o humble_v of_o we_o before_o god_n be_v not_o able_a too_o overmaster_v we_o nor_o to_o take_v away_o this_o pride_n and_o presumptuousness_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o speak_v after_o another_o fashion_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n he_o must_v make_v we_o feel_v that_o by_o experience_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v how_o

when_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o which_o speak_v god_n but_o all_o be_v give_v to_o evil_a and_o all_o be_v filthy_a and_o infect_v with_o their_o sin_n

be_o none_o of_o that_o number_n every_o man_n exempt_v himself_o furthermore_o we_o surmise_v that_o we_o have_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o goodness_n in_o we_o and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o poor_a drop_n we_o stretch_v it_o out_o far_o and_o wide_o so_o as_o we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o content_a god_n thorough_o and_o therefore_o must_v god_n come_v take_v

which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n do_v agree_v and_o pertain_v unto_o we_o and_o must_v needs_o wound_v we_o as_o mortal_a plague_n that_o we_o may_v know_v our_o confusion_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v so_o then_o whensoever_o we_o desire_v too_o know_v what_o righteousness_n be_v that_o be_v too_o say_v how_o we_o become_v righteous_a and_o how_o we_o may_v obtain_v favour_n in_o god_n sight_n we_o must_v consider_v well_o that_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o upon_o seek_v that_o which_o shall_v seem_v good_a before_o man_n or_o which_o may_v be_v allow_v by_o man_n reason_n or_o by_o all_o that_o ever_o may_v be_v allege_v before_o creature_n what_o then_o let_v we_o hear_v god_n speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o receive_v

thereupon_o that_o we_o may_v take_v some_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n when_o we_o once_o know_v this_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o make_v much_o dispute_v about_o the_o say_a

all_o evil_a in_o we_o and_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o even_o he_o that_o dare_v vaunt_v himself_o most_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o cursedness_n in_o he_o from_o the_o crown_n of_o his_o head_n too_o the_o sole_n of_o his_o foot_n again_o though_o god_n shall_v find_v we_o thorough_o well_o dispose_v to_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n yet_o what_o be_v that_o too_o the_o purpose_n

but_o if_o we_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o lust_n to_o do_v so_o it_o will_v be_v with_o we_o as_o when_o one_o stomach_n be_v full_a of_o wind_n whereby_o it_o be_v so_o

that_o those_o holy_a write_n speak_v all_o such_o say_v i_o do_v easy_o consent_v to_o this_o doctrine_n namely_o that_o we_o have_v no_o righteousness_n in_o our_o self_n save_v that_o be_v give_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 fault_n be_v innumerable_a so_o also_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n shall_v punish_v we_o after_o diverse_a sort_n and_o double_a his_o stripe_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v plunge_v deep_a and_o deep_a into_o so_o many_o misery_n and_o there_o languish_v as_o folk_n utter_o forlese_v let_v we_o not_o think_v this_o gear_n strange_a and_o why_o for_o our_o fault_n be_v without_o number_n that_o be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n for_o the_o three_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n may_v well_o utter_v his_o hand_n against_o we_o yea_o even_o to_o execute_v his_o secret_a judgement_n when_o we_o have_v labour_v to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o employ_v ourselves_o faithful_o upon_o our_o neighbour_n yea_o and_o live_v among_o man_n without_o fraud_n without_o malice_n and_o without_o violence_n when_o we_o have_v worship_v and_o serve_v god_n pure_o after_o that_o sort_n and_o when_o we_o have_v walk_v upright_o with_o our_o neighbour_n yet_o if_o god_n scourge_v we_o we_o must_v still_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a we_o see_v not_o why_o but_o yet_o must_v not_o we_o plead_v we_o must_v come_v short_a of_o that_o and_o say_v well_o lord_n thou_o will_v not_o show_v i_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o misery_n which_o i_o endure_v nevertheless_o i_o think_v the_o time_n long_o howbeit_o lord_n it_o be_v wisdom_n enough_o for_o i_o if_o i_o can_v humble_v myself_o under_o thy_o mighty_a hand_n and_o furthermore_o do_v i_o thou_o this_o pleasure_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v that_o

and_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v away_o the_o thing_n that_o come_v of_o himself_o mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n howbeit_o as_o i_o say_v we_o must_v not_o look_v only_o too_o our_o first_o

when_o they_o know_v not_o whether_o god_n do_v love_v they_o or_o no._n and_o why_o for_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a and_o the_o same_o fearfulness_n must_v needs_o cause_v and_o engender_v

keep_v our_o sin_n that_o be_v to_o say_v put_v they_o up_o and_o not_o punish_v they_o so_o rigorous_o as_o we_o have_v deserve_v wherefore_o then_o be_v it_o that_o job_n complain_v so_o it_o be_v because_o he_o feel_v himself_o shut_v up_o in_o such_o anguish_n as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v no_o more_o he_o look_v not_o right_o unto_o god_n do_v neither_o be_v he_o able_a to_o judge_v

these_o politic_a head_n therefore_o which_o be_v so_o desirous_a to_o work_v wile_n with_o god_n begin_v at_o this_o point_n namely_o of_o take_v leave_n to_o keep_v man_n from_o see_v what_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o man_n call_v god_n word_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o mouth_n shall_v be_v tungty_v &_o that_o man_n may_v raze_v it_o out_o quite_o and_o clean_o and_o when_o they_o be_v once_o enter_v into_o that_o doubt_n afterward_o they_o harden_v themselves_o in_o it_o and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v leave_v they_o there_o and_o that_o satan_n shall_v carry_v they_o headlong_o and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o that_o point_n they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o blear_a out_o their_o tongue_n against_o all_o doctrine_n there_o be_v no_o more_o grief_n nor_o remorse_n of_o conscience_n in_o they_o but_o to_o be_v short_a they_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o humanity_n and_o become_v brutish_a thus_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v at_o that_o point_n shall_v ever_o return_v to_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o strait_o in_o subjection_n unto_o god_n to_o bear_v such_o reverence_n to_o his_o word_n as_o we_o may_v shun_v and_o utter_o abhor_v and_o detest_v the_o slight_n and_o subtlety_n wherein_o the_o wicked_a

fantastical_a and_o flee_a head_n to_o be_v see_v who_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v very_a dullard_n and_o of_o no_o estimation_n till_o they_o
and_o let_v they_o play_v the_o drunken_a sot_n and_o yet_o shall_v not_o god_o leave_v his_o look_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o what_o shall_v he_o find_v here_o stinch_v and_o lothlinesse_n we_o be_v loathsome_a to_o god_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o have_v marvelous_a stuff_n in_o we_o but_o what_o gain_n we_o by_o it_o so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o pride_n and_o stateliness_n to_o think_v we_o have_v any_o appearance_n of_o virtue_n in_o we_o let_v it_o come_v to_o our_o mind_n to_o summon_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o of_o this_o dreadful_a say_n that_o when_o god_n have_v look_v down_o and_o when_o he_o have_v examine_v man_n thorough_o there_o be_v not_o one_o not_o even_o one_o but_o he_o be_v infect_v and_o stink_a before_o he_o and_o lothly_a in_o his_o sight_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o this_o sentence_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o drink_v iniquity_n as_o it_o be_v water_n it_o serve_v yet_o better_a to_o express_v that_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n be_v give_v to_o evil_a and_o that_o as_o fish_n feed_v upon_o the_o water_n so_o man_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o feed_v upon_o sin_n very_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o blame_v god_n for_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o adam_n be_v not_o create_v in_o the_o

the_o excellent_a of_o all_o creature_n be_v not_o mar_v after_o that_o fashion_n till_o he_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o god_n but_o when_o he_o have_v once_o separate_v himself_o from_o the_o

not_o to_o blame_v god_n for_o the_o vice_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a and_o under_o which_o we_o be_v hold_v prisoner_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n which_o say_v that_o we_o be_v sell_v under_o sin_n and_o become_v the_o bondslave_n of_o satan_n we_o must_v not_o blame_v god_n for_o this_o but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o heritage_n which_o we_o have_v from_o our_o father_n adam_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v the_o whole_a blame_n to_o ourselves_o before_o god_n lo_o in_o what_o wise_a we_o must_v understand_v this_o corruption_n and_o bondage_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o not_o to_o make_v it_o serve_v for_o a_o excuse_n to_o say_v alas_o what_o can_v we_o do_v withal_o as_o we_o see_v those_o do_v which_o blaspheme_n god_n for_o say_v they_o see_v that_o man_n be_v so_o give_v to_o evil_a what_o can_v they_o do_v with_o it_o they_o have_v not_o the_o power_n to_o withstand_v the_o temptation_n and_o

let_v we_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o all_o the_o evil_n rest_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o soak_a in_o wickedness_n and_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v

even_o to_o our_o confusion_n be_v we_o then_o desirous_a to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a mean_a to_o do_v it_o which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o horrible_a confusion_n in_o we_o and_o that_o we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o desire_v god_n to_o receive_v

come_v to_o the_o matter_n that_o eliphas_n pursue_v here_o he_o treat_v of_o a_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v true_a in_o itself_o if_o it_o be_v right_o apply_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o wicked_a never_o have_v any_o rest_n but_o be_v in_o such_o unquiethesse_n as_o they_o need_v none_o other_o hangman_n to_o torment_v they_o than_o themselves_o but_o hereupon_o he_o conclude_v amiss_o that_o job_n be_v a_o wicked_a man_n for_o although_o he_o be_v astonish_v at_o his_o grief_n yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o have_v be_v say_v already_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o trust_v still_o in_o god_n the_o doctrine_n therefore_o as_o i_o say_v be_v good_a and_o holy_a but_o the_o same_o must_v be_v apply_v according_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o in_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o must_v always_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o the_o skill_n and_o discretion_n to_o perceive_v to_o what_o end_n he_o tend_v and_o what_o his_o drift_n be_v that_o we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v show_v we_o for_o we_o shall_v go_v continual_o backward_a if_o god_n drive_v we_o not_o forward_o
who_o he_o shall_v render_v a_o account_n such_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v shepherd_n to_o feed_v god_n people_n must_v employ_v all_o their_o strength_n and_o power_n thereupon_o neither_o must_v they_o open_o or_o particular_o conceal_v that_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v according_a whereunto_o saint_n paul_n show_v that_o he_o be_v clear_a from_o blood_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o be_v not_o faulty_a before_o god_n for_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o god_n truth_n faithful_o without_o cease_v as_o well_o at_o home_n in_o their_o house_n as_o open_o abroad_o also_o let_v the_o magistrate_n for_o his_o part_n look_v too_o himself_o and_o let_v he_o not_o through_o negligence_n quench_v the_o light_n that_o god_n have_v put_v into_o he_o but_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o power_n let_v he_o endeavour_n that_o justice_n may_v reign_v and_o have_v her_o full_a course_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v and_o his_o truth_n receive_v and_o that_o load_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o true_a religion_n may_v be_v do_v away_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o whereas_o eliphas_n say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o the_o land_n and_o no_o stranger_n have_v pass_v through_o it_o it_o be_v to_o express_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v a_o excellent_a prerogative_n from_o above_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o maintain_v the_o government_n that_o be_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o god_n favour_v he_o and_o it_o become_v he_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o benefit_n for_o there_o be_v no_o policy_n of_o manable_a to_o do_v that_o thorough_o also_o whereas_o eliphas_n say_v that_o those_o of_o who_o he_o speak_v have_v reign_v peaceable_o and_o that_o god_n have_v bliss_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v not_o trouble_v but_o have_v so_o guide_v their_o subject_n as_o their_o dominion_n contain_v in_o quietness_n thereby_o we_o be_v do_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o god_n maintain_v state_n and_o a_o country_n be_v in_o peace_n we_o must_v not_o father_n it_o upon_o mortal_a man_n but_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o special_a benefit_n of_o god_n and_o our_o acknowledge_v of_o it_o must_v not_o be_v honour_v the_o man_n by_o who_o god_n serve_v his_o turn_n in_o do_v it_o but_o also_o in_o yield_a god_n his_o due_a praise_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a article_n that_o we_o have_v touch_v eliphas_n say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n be_v always_o as_o it_o be_v travel_v with_o child_n that_o he_o never_o have_v any_o rest_n that_o he_o be_v in_o continual_a torment_fw-mi that_o he_o look_v ever_o at_o the_o sword_n and_o that_o he_o know_v not_o the_o number_n of_o his_o day_n and_o our_o lord_n use_v the_o same_o threat_n against_o the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o law_n namely_o that_o he_o will_v send_v they_o such_o a_o fearfulness_n that_o their_o life_n shall_v hang_v afore_o they_o by_o a_o thread_n that_o their_o eye_n shall_v be_v sink_v in_o their_o head_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o such_o anguish_n of_o mind_n that_o in_o the_o morning_n they_o shall_v say_v who_o will_v warrant_v i_o my_o life_n until_o night_n and_o when_o night_n be_v come_v how_o may_v i_o endure_v till_o tomorrow_o lo_o how_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o walk_v not_o pure_o according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o pureness_n be_v there_o in_o our_o life_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o not_o to_o be_v toss_v with_o any_o care_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o god_n protection_n and_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o may_v pass_v through_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v hap_v what_o hap_n will_v we_o shall_v be_v sure_a of_o a_o good_a and_o steadfast_a leaningstocke_n but_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o god_n watch_v over_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o think_v he_o be_v against_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a and_o not_o know_v where_o to_o become_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n use_v the_o say_v menace_v against_o the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o law_n and_o so_o be_v eliphassis_n say_v very_o true_a that_o the_o wicked_a be_v always_o fearful_a according_a also_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n liken_v the_o thought_n of_o wicked_a folk_n too_o wave_n that_o beat_v one_o against_o another_o when_o any_o tempest_n be_v you_o see_v the_o water_n stir_v and_o the_o wave_n come_v rush_v one_o against_o another_o and_o break_v asunder_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o aid_v by_o god_n it_o be_v not_o any_o one_o passion_n that_o shall_v carry_v

wit_n end_n and_o so_o when_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o wicked_a man_n be_v in_o such_o unquietness_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v god_n rightful_a vengeance_n upon_o all_o those_o that_o have_v not_o seek_v to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o and_o how_o may_v we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n by_o walk_v in_o a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n and_o special_o by_o know_v that_o we_o have_v none_o other_o foundation_n too_o stand_v upon_o save_v only_o his_o mercy_n in_o that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o that_o there_o with_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o assure_v ourselves_o to_o be_v happy_a both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n because_o it_o please_v he_o to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o and_o to_o receive_v we_o and_o gather_v we_o up_o to_o himself_o mark_v i_o say_v how_o the_o way_n for_o man_n too_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n be_v to_o assure_v themselves_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o therewithal_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o as_o they_o endeavour_n to_o have_v a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n and_o this_o

with_o god_n fill_v they_o shall_v be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o their_o profit_n and_o what_o manner_n of_o peace_n be_v it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n but_o rather_o they_o turn_v their_o tail_n upon_o he_o but_o the_o true_a peace_n which_o be_v happy_a and_o bliss_v of_o god_n be_v when_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o he_o and_o come_v to_o he_o and_o

make_v they_o too_o know_v their_o own_o weakness_n that_o they_o may_v humble_v themselves_o and_o learn_v too_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o put_v themselves_o whole_o into_o his_o hand_n and_o trust_v altogether_o to_o his_o goodness_n moreover_o sometime_o he_o prick_v and_o spur_v we_o too_o come_v too_o he_o the_o more_o earnest_o and_o too_o beseech_v he_o to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o and_o that_o whensoever_o we_o be_v toss_v after_o that_o sort_n we_o need_v no_o more_o but_o to_o unload_v our_o care_n into_o his_o lap_n and_o to_o rest_v ourselves_o there_o in_o all_o caces_fw-la and_o there_o to_o take_v all_o our_o contentation_n and_o comfort_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o be_v strike_v with_o

can_v be_v yea_o &_o with_o very_o bitter_a one_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v torment_v inward_o because_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v his_o mortal_a enemy_n certess_n he_o say_v that_o the_o leanness_n of_o his_o body_n be_v as_o a_o wither_a and_o that_o in_o witness_n of_o god_n wrath_n he_o be_v full_a of_o wrinkle_n so_o as_o all_o his_o flesh_n be_v as_o good_a as_o half_o rot_v already_o and_o herein_o a_o man_n may_v see_v the_o token_n of_o a_o dreadful_a affliction_n and_o that_o god_n handle_v he_o not_o as_o he_o be_v common_o wont_a to_o handle_v those_o who_o he_o chastize_v with_o his_o rod_n but_o that_o his_o pain_n be_v excessive_a this_o therefore_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o matter_n that_o job_n intend_v to_o express_v and_o here_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o give_v we_o lookingglass_n in_o such_o as_o have_v have_v any_o excellent_a virtue_n to_o the_o end_n that_o in_o their_o person_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o according_a as_o he_o deal_v forth_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n thereafter_o also_o do_v he_o send_v they_o great_a affliction_n in_o themselves_o try_v they_o and_o chastyze_a they_o too_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n too_o make_v they_o the_o more_o esteem_v and_o too_o bring_v forth_o the_o more_o fruit_n as_o for_o example_n look_v upon_o abraham_n who_o be_v govern_v

but_o god_n spare_v we_o because_o he_o have_v not_o give_v we_o so_o excellent_a gift_n as_o he_o give_v to_o he_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o david_n behold_v david_n be_v not_o only_a

even_o of_o wonderment_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o how_o do_v god_n turmoil_n he_o we_o see_v what_o complaint_n he_o make_v not_o only_o as_o a_o despise_v and_o off_o shake_v person_n but_o also_o say_v that_o god_n hold_v he_o here_o on_o earth_n as_o upon_o a_o rack_n so_o as_o he_o be_v force_v too_o show_v the_o extremity_n that_o he_o be_v come_v unto_o for_o it_o be_v not_o

there_o remain_v neither_o marye_o nor_o substance_n in_o he_o when_o we_o hear_v these_o kind_n of_o speech_n they_o seem_v too_o we_o too_o be_v but_o a_o mockery_n but_o god_n purpose_v too_o set_v we_o forth_o a_o lively_a picture_n that_o according_a too_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v we_o may_v know_v that_o after_o as_o god_n give_v great_a virtue_n unto_o man_n so_o do_v he_o exercise_v they_o lively_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o those_o virtue_n shall_v not_o be_v idle_a but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v know_v in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o chief_a temptation_n that_o ever_o the_o faithful_a endure_v be_v these_o spiritual_a battle_n as_o we_o term_v they_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o god_n summon_v they_o in_o

pludge_v they_o in_o deep_a distress_n than_o all_o the_o bodily_a adversity_n that_o can_v befall_v they_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o job_n use_v this_o similitude_n that_o god_n grate_v his_o tooth_n at_o he_o also_o we_o see_v how_o ezechias_n speak_v because_o he_o have_v pass_v through_o the_o same_o temptation_n god_n say_v he_o have_v play_v the_o lion_n with_o i_o likewise_o he_o have_v use_v the_o same_o similitude_n afore_o which_o he_o use_v here_o namely_o that_o he_o wist_v not_o whither_o he_o may_v speak_v or_o hold_v his_o peace_n for_o i_o be_o say_v he_o like_o a_o swallow_n i_o chatter_v and_o chirp_v but_o i_o want_v word_n to_o utter_v the_o grief_n of_o my_o misery_n i_o have_v no_o tongue_n to_o deliver_v it_o and_o hereupon_o he_o come_v afterward_o to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v crassh_v and_o break_v his_o bone_n as_o a_o lion_n that_o hold_v he_o in_o his_o paw_n and_o tooth_n but_o how_o can_v god_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n which_o be_v so_o cruel_a a_o beast_n no_o ezechias_n ment_fw-la not_o to_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o feel_n and_o of_o the_o terrible_a pain_n that_o he_o endure_v when_o god_n wrath_n be_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o a_o poor_a creature_n enter_v into_o doubt_v in_o what_o case_n he_o be_v with_o god_n and_o perceive_v not_o that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o so_o great_a distress_n and_o so_o afflight_v as_o if_o he_o be_v between_o a_o wolf_n paw_n we_o must_v not_o imagine_v

of_o that_o too_o himself_o too_o dispose_v thereof_o in_o time_n and_o place_n as_o he_o shall_v think_v good_a we_o may_v see_v then_o that_o sometime_o a_o faithful_a man_n and_o one_o that_o

it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v environ_v with_o many_o misery_n and_o many_o death_n shall_v lie_v in_o wait_n for_o we_o but_o god_n also_o have_v diverse_a way_n to_o succour_n we_o yea_o

even_o in_o the_o midd_n of_o death_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o threaten_n which_o god_n make_v to_o the_o wicked_a aught_o to_o make_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o

and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v deliver_v for_o like_a as_o god_n have_v sword_n to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a so_o have_v he_o infinite_a deliverance_n to_o succour_n his_o faithful_a one_o lo_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o for_o a_o conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v

as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o eliphas_n do_v job_n great_a injury_n and_o wrong_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n intend_v here_o to_o teach_v we_o the_o order_n

before_o god_n as_o a_o thief_n for_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o thief_n see_v that_o he_o steal_v a_o other_o man_n good_n and_o substance_n and_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o one_o he_o give_v

requisite_a until_o they_o have_v examine_v their_o life_n particular_o and_o indeed_o we_o see_v how_o david_n use_v the_o matter_n for_o one_o fault_n only_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n when_o he_o see_v that_o he_o have_v commit_v so_o heinous_a a_o offence_n before_o god_n as_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o cruel_a murder_n not_o only_o of_o one_o man_n but_o of_o

of_o these_o they_o &_o other_o such_o like_v we_o may_v rejoice_v but_o when_o god_n shall_v chastise_v our_o neighbour_n and_o we_o know_v not_o yet_o whether_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n on_o they_o

that_o all_o thing_n be_v guide_v by_o he_o now_o it_o follow_v that_o our_o substance_n be_v not_o consume_v true_a it_o be_v that_o word_n for_o word_n it_o be_v if_o our_o substance_n be_v not_o

he_o although_o his_o creature_n perceive_v it_o not_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v that_o the_o rightcouse_n may_v go_v too_o law_n with_o god_n if_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o deal_n by_o the_o order_n of_o his_o law_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o we_o shall_v go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v we_o must_v all_o of_o we_o needs_o be_v condemn_v for_o what_o mortal_a man_n can_v boast_v that_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v he_o that_o perform_v not_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v shut_v up_o under_o the_o curse_n if_o god_n list_v to_o extend_v the_o rigour_n of_o his_o law_n towards_o we_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n treat_v special_o thereof_o in_o the_o third_o chapter_n to_o the_o galatian_n job_n then_o be_v far_o oversee_v in_o say_v that_o a_o righteous_a man_n may_v plead_v his_o case_n if_o god_n will_v give_v he_o audience_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o law_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o must_v needs_o yield_v ourselves_o guilty_a not_o only_o for_o offend_v in_o some_o one_o point_n but_o for_o transgress_v in_o all_o point_n insomuch_o as_o we_o never_o serve_v god_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v nor_o with_o such_o perfection_n as_o he_o deserve_v and_o as_o our_o duty_n require_v wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o man_n be_v transgresser_n of_o the_o law_n not_o in_o some_o one_o part_n of_o it_o but_o in_o every_o point_n moreover_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o righteous_a may_v show_v themselves_o before_o god_n howbeit_o not_o to_o come_v to_o account_v for_o wherein_o consist_v our_o blessedness_n but_o in_o have_v our_o sin_n pardon_v and_o as_o it_o be_v bury_v at_o god_n hand_n as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o two_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n and_o who_o draw_v open_v his_o mouth_n to_o plead_v against_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n it_o stand_v we_o then_o in_o

incomprehensible_a to_o he_o which_o be_v a_o very_a true_a say_n some_o expound_v this_o of_o the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o come_v to_o one_o point_n for_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n who_o shall_v give_v i_o wing_n to_o fly_v away_o if_o i_o go_v over_o the_o sea_n the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v to_o long_o it_o will_v overtake_v i_o if_o i_o go_v

be_v all_o one_o in_o this_o text_n when_o we_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o east_n west_n south_n and_o north._n job_n mean_v that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o man_n too_o

but_o job_n fault_n be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o god_n do_n he_o imagine_v he_o to_o use_v a_o absolute_a or_o lawless_a power_n as_o they_o term_v it_o that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o god_n work_v at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n without_o keep_v any_o order_n or_o rule_v and_o that_o he_o do_v as_o he_o list_v like_o a_o prince_n that_o will_v not_o be_v

yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bridle_v his_o tongue_n from_o cast_v forth_o word_n out_o of_o square_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o passion_n this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o effect_n now_o that_o we_o may_v apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o use_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v not_o preach_v before_o god_n to_o plead_v our_o case_n with_o he_o for_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v without_o any_o long_a procesmaking_n on_o his_o behalf_n and_o the_o more_o defence_n &_o excuse_n that_o we_o think_v we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v our_o sinfulness_n need_v increase_v then_o be_v there_o none_o other_o remedy_n but_o to_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o guilty_a and_o to_o crave_v forgiveness_n and_o mercy_n thus_o our_o come_n unto_o god_n must_v not_o be_v to_o pretend_v any_o justify_n of_o ourselves_o nor_o to_o make_v any_o satisfaction_n but_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o beseech_v he_o too_o admit_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n and_o not_o to_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o plead_v our_o case_n for_o that_o manner_n of_o debate_v belong_v not_o to_o we_o it_o be_v the_o office_n that_o be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o let_v we_o on_o our_o part_n hold_v our_o peace_n and_o suffer_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v our_o spokesman_n and_o to_o make_v

worthy_a as_o touch_v the_o second_o point_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v oftentimes_o hide_v from_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o therefore_o think_v they_o strange_a so_o as_o we_o shall_v check_v against_o they_o or_o say_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o they_o let_v we_o rather_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n righteousness_n be_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n for_o such_o rudeness_n as_o be_v in_o we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o presumptuousness_n for_o we_o to_o desire_v to_o attain_v thereunto_o this_o say_v i_o must_v we_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o i_o say_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v very_o secret_a and_o that_o when_o we_o have_v seek_v search_v and_o ransack_v to_o the_o uttermost_a that_o we_o can_v we_o shall_v be_v

be_v there_o my_o way_n say_v he_o be_v further_o off_o from_o you_o than_o heaven_n be_v from_o earth_n true_o he_o use_v that_o manner_n of_o speech_n to_o show_v that_o we_o must_v not_o esteem_v of_o his_o mercy_n according_a to_o our_o own_o nature_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 it_o be_v lay_v up_o after_o that_o manner_n it_o will_v never_o take_v lively_a root_n according_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o that_o will_v be_v move_v when_o they_o hear_v god_n speak_v of_o and_o be_v somewhat_o well_o dispose_v howbeit_o that_o disposition_n be_v not_o thorough_o plant_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o appear_v in_o they_o for_o a_o time_n vanish_v away_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o we_o have_v never_o profit_v well_o in_o god_n school_n till_o his_o word_n be_v so_o deep_o root_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o be_v too_o say_v till_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o with_o such_o a_o mind_n as_o it_o be_v not_o a_o flightful_a motion_n to_o allow_v or_o like_v well_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v we_o but_o a_o hearty_a affection_n settle_v upon_o it_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v oftentimes_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a for_o although_o we_o have_v satisfy_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o man_n think_v we_o to_o be_v utter_o faultless_a yet_o may_v god_n just_o refuse_v all_o this_o goodly_a outward_a show_n wherein_o man_n soothe_v we_o if_o the_o heart_n go_v not_o afore_o it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v this_o say_n in_o mind_n that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o lay_v up_o god_n word_n and_o how_o not_o to_o bury_v it_o for_o if_o we_o believe_v with_o our_o heart_n unto_o righteousness_n we_o must_v also_o confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n that_o we_o may_v be_v safe_a then_o must_v 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
not_o only_o in_o eat_v and_o drink_v but_o also_o in_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o lust_n and_o let_v we_o so_o bridle_v they_o as_o we_o may_v cut_v off_o all_o the_o superfluous_a concupiscence_n

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

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

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

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
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

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 holy_a scripture_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o there_o which_o be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o fear_n god_n and_o to_o give_v ourselves_o to_o his_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

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

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

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

how_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v know_v whither_o we_o have_v profit_v either_o by_o sermon_n or_o by_o read_v of_o god_n word_n we_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o namely_o if_o our_o life_n yield_v

intend_v too_o give_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a mark_n too_o discern_v the_o faithful_a from_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n it_o say_v let_v they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n praise_v he_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n enter_v into_o his_o house_n let_v they_o that_o fear_n god_n be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v let_v man_n that_o fear_v god_n rest_v bold_o upon_o he_o you_o that_o fear_v god_n

sermon_n or_o have_v the_o bible_n in_o our_o hand_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v that_o god_n mean_v not_o too_o puff_n we_o up_o with_o vain_a presumption_n of_o knowledge_n nor_o to_o scratch_v our_o ear_n when_o they_o itch_v nor_o yet_o to_o teach_v we_o nice_a point_n but_o to_o edify_v we_o in_o his_o fear_n that_o we_o may_v honour_n and_o serve_v he_o â–ª_o if_o we_o shoot_v at_o this_o mark_n then_o shall_v we_o not_o rove_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v for_o whereof_o come_v this_o vice_n that_o man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o

the_o fear_n of_o god_n behind_o our_o back_n bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v give_v we_o to_o a_o far_a other_o use_n now_o see_v that_o man_n do_v so_o abuse_v godsword_n and_o every_o man_n unhallow_v it_o ungracious_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o text_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o the_o manner_n of_o examination_n whereby_o to_o try_v who_o be_v of_o good_a &_o right_a understanding_n to_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o must_v know_v god_n as_o he_o be_v for_o we_o shall_v never_o fear_v he_o aright_o until_o that_o like_a as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o we_o so_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o god_n our_o master_n our_o saviour_n and_o our_o father_n and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o solomon_n in_o the_o text_n that_o we_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o proverb_n say_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n be_v the_o true_a understanding_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n he_o set_v down_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a thing_n see_v then_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v knit_v these_o two_o thing_n together_o in_o unseparable_a bond_n it_o behoove_v we_o also_o to_o knit_v they_o together_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n will_v never_o be_v in_o we_o till_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o which_o be_v that_o we_o know_v god_n mercy_n as_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n namely_o that_o we_o be_v draw_v unto_o he_o by_o his_o goodness_n where_o through_o he_o allure_v
allege_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o thou_o may_v well_o seek_v to_o thy_o good_a god_n and_o return_v unto_o he_o &_o see_v he_o show_v himself_o so_o kindhearted_a and_o pitiful_a towards_o thou_o he_o will_v still_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o preserver_n you_o see_v they_o how_o this_o comparison_n ought_v to_o serve_v our_o turn_n and_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o master_n our_o affection_n when_o we_o feel_v to_o much_o heartburning_n &_o repine_v in_o ourselves_o &_o that_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o stomach_n &_o rebel_n against_o god_n it_o behove_v we_o i_o say_v to_o think_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o and_o job_n allege_v again_o unto_o god_n that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a frail_a man_n and_o near_o unto_o death_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o marvel_n why_o god_n shall_v persecute_v he_o so_o rough_o i_o know_v say_v he_o that_o thou_o will_v send_v i_o to_o the_o grave_n too_o the_o house_n that_o belong_v unto_o all_o that_o live_v see_v that_o the_o state_n of_o all_o man_n be_v such_o as_o thou_o have_v set_v they_o here_o too_o make_v they_o pass_v away_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o moment_n why_o shall_v thou_o

without_o cause_n that_o they_o be_v repeat_v here_o for_o undoubted_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o set_v the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o frail_a state_n before_o he_o to_o move_v he_o to_o take_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o to_o ease_v we_o as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o lord_n know_v how_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n &_o that_o when_o we_o have_v

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

than_o we_o our_o self_n and_o therefore_o need_v not_o to_o be_v advertise_v of_o it_o but_o like_a as_o our_o pray_v to_o he_o be_v for_o our_o own_o self_n so_o likewise_o all_o the_o request_n and_o reason_n which_o we_o allege_v in_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o our_o own_o use_n and_o profit_n then_o if_o a_o man_n allege_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a frail_a creature_n he_o behold_v himself_o in_o himself_o &_o teach_v himself_o lowliness_n if_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o our_o state_n we_o shall_v always_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v not_o

of_o the_o thing_n which_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n be_v put_v asunder_o without_o apeachement_n of_o god_n righteousness_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o job_n after_o he_o have_v make_v protestation_n of_o
sleep_n trouble_v they_o and_o also_o that_o he_o speak_v by_o chastisement_n it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o here_o be_v the_o two_o manner_n of_o speak_v unto_o we_o which_o god_n use_v so_o as_o sometime_o he_o reveal_v himself_o by_o inspiration_n and_o sometime_o also_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o hand_n but_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n &_o it_o be_v a_o constrain_a sense_n furthermore_o we_o need_v not_o to_o beat_v our_o brain_n much_o in_o seek_v diversity_n of_o exposition_n see_v that_o the_o natural_a sense_n be_v manifest_a unto_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o follow_v that_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o which_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v speak_v once_o or_o twice_o yea_o and_o yet_o not_o be_v understand_v thus_o we_o know_v what_o eliu_n mean_v to_o say_v and_o now_o remain_v to_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o instruction_n and_o how_o first_o of_o all_o by_o know_v our_o own_o slenderness_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n take_v so_o high_o upon_o they_o to_o seek_v and_o search_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o nothing_o may_v escape_v they_o but_o because_o they_o think_v themselves_o able_a enough_o too_o find_v

search_v god_n secret_n to_o far_o out_o of_o measure_n so_o then_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v take_v profit_n of_o this_o text_n special_o first_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o yea_o even_n

judgement_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v always_o have_v authority_n to_o speak_v &_o utter_v what_o he_o list_v maugre_o all_o they_o that_o speak_v against_o he_o yea_o &_o that_o when_o

the_o thing_n in_o one_o word_n which_o god_n have_v determine_v in_o his_o purpose_n but_o shall_v daily_o see_v one_o thing_n &_o yet_o not_o withstand_v be_v new_a to_o seek_v of_o it_o yea_o &_o

be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o we_o it_o be_v sufficient_o confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o experience_n that_o we_o never_o come_v to_o any_o reason_n but_o by_o compulsion_n &_o that_o we_o will_v always_o needs_o be_v selfwise_o even_o though_o our_o ignorance_n show_v itself_o enough_o &_o to_o much_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o text_n that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o determination_n as_o it_o be_v bury_v &_o hide_v we_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o daily_o &_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v save_v that_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n &_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o bridle_v ourselves_o in_o wait_v till_o our_o lord_n revele_v it_o in_o great_a perfection_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v till_o we_o be_v bereave_v of_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o and_o according_a to_o the_o article_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o let_v we_o note_v also_o that_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o judgement_n which_o god_n will_v have_v hide_v because_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o behoof_n to_o have_v full_a knowledge_n of_o they_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the._n 62._o psalm_n that_o god_n speak_v once_o &_o david_n protest_v that_o he_o will_v bear_v it_o twice_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v might_n &_o mercy_n in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o treat_v of_o god_n wonderful_a judgement_n as_o there_o be_v here_o of_o what_o then_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o learn_v by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v bring_v to_o our_o remembrance_n &_o set_v before_o we_o continual_o for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o mighty_a power_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v fear_v he_o &_o walk_n according_a to_o his_o will_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o give_v we_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v take_v comfort_n &_o joy_n at_o it_o what_o learn_v we_o daily_o by_o god_n word_n but_o that_o he_o be_v the_o master_n to_o who_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a &_o that_o we_o must_v not_o live_v after_o our_o own_o lust_n but_o that_o god_n must_v reign_v over_o we_o &_o his_o law_n be_v a_o bridle_n that_o we_o may_v be_v teach_v under_o it_o thus_o the_o first_o point_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o know_v what_o he_o require_v &_o allow_v the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n &_o saviour_n to_o the_o end_n to_o put_v our_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v he_o by_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o mere_a mercy_n know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o damnation_n in_o we_o and_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v draw_v we_o out_o of_o death_n through_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o as_o concern_v this_o second_o point_n the_o two_o thing_n wherein_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v confirm_v be_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o he_o for_o resuge_a and_o also_o that_o forsomuch_o as_o his_o mercy_n be_v set_v before_o we_o daily_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o so_o then_o this_o text_n of_o david_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v keep_v hide_v from_o our_o knowledge_n but_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o teach_v we_o therefore_o he_o say_v god_n have_v speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n have_v so_o manifest_v his_o will_n in_o his_o speak_n as_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o doubt_v any_o more_o nor_o to_o reply_v against_o that_o which_o he_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v it_o twice_o say_v he_o herein_o he_o betoken_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v hear_v god_n at_o a_o glance_n but_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o mind_v the_o thing_n without_o cease_v which_o he_o speak_v and_o although_o he_o speak_v but_o once_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o let_v his_o doctrine_n slip_v but_o settle_v it_o thorough_o in_o our_o remembrance_n and_o learn_v to_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o think_v upon_o it_o early_o and_o late_o because_o our_o memory_n be_v short_a so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o apply_v themselves_o thorough_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n show_v they_o by_o his_o word_n and_o to_o set_v their_o whole_a mind_n upon_o it_o assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o tell_v and_o promise_v they_o for_o their_o welfare_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n howbeit_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o seek_v any_o further_a and_o let_v we_o not_o covet_v to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v by_o learning_n in_o his_o school_n and_o if_o he_o reserve_v any_o secret_a judgement_n to_o himself_o let_v we_o be_v ignorant_a in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v know_v unto_o we_o until_o he_o have_v take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n govern_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o providence_n and_o eliu_n speak_v too_o the_o same_o purpose_n here_o you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n
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 make_v we_o set_v the_o more_o store_n by_o the_o benefit_n whereof_o we_o seldom_o make_v account_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o the_o mean_a of_o our_o atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n then_o be_v it_o declare_v that_o the_o same_o be_v no_o base_a nor_o common_a thing_n it_o can_v not_o at_o all_o time_n be_v stumble_v upon_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o man_n send_v of_o god_n to_o warrant_v our_o salvation_n or_o to_o be_v the_o mean_a of_o our_o atonement_n with_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v cast_v it_o under_o our_o foot_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v how_o beautiful_a be_v the_o foot_n of_o they_o that_o bring_v glad_a tiding_n of_o peace_n now_o by_o the_o foot_n the_o prophet_n mean_v their_o come_n and_o presence_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o the_o world_n know_v what_o a_o benefit_n it_o be_v when_o god_n declare_v his_o mercy_n unto_o it_o it_o will_v love_v and_o esteem_v those_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o it_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n have_v commit_v such_o a_o treasure_n unto_o they_o as_o surmount_v all_o the_o good_n that_o we_o can_v

that_o the_o same_o come_v of_o man_n but_o let_v we_o be_v full_o assure_v and_o resolve_v that_o god_n seek_v we_o when_o his_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v be_v the_o builder_n thereof_o such_o goodness_n must_v proceed_v from_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o father_n it_o upon_o man_n it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o unkindness_n wherefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o

world_n go_v yet_o do_v god_n send_v they_o such_o prick_n and_o torment_n of_o mind_n as_o they_o be_v sore_o distress_v and_o if_o they_o dance_v it_o be_v after_o the_o fashion_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o moses_n namely_o that_o yet_o nevertheless_o sin_n be_v at_o their_o door_n and_o there_o wait_v for_o they_o like_o a_o dog_n that_o wait_v for_o his_o master_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v ruffle_v it_o out_o but_o yet_o can_v they_o not_o go_v out_o of_o their_o door_n without_o gnaw_v of_o their_o conscience_n and_o god_n must_v still_o hold_v they_o at_o that_o bay_n therefore_o somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o turn_v not_o our_o back_n unto_o god_n ne_o bury_v not_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o will_v have_v peace_n but_o that_o we_o always_o have_v some_o promise_n of_o god_n too_o comfort_v we_o and_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n allure_v we_o to_o salvation_n let_v we_o be_v glad_a of_o that_o for_o they_o shall_v our_o gladness_n be_v bless_v and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o taste_n that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n it_o will_v sanctify_v all_o our_o joy_n but_o without_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o quail_v and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o rejoice_v mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o for_o the_o second_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v that_o the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n mingle_v with_o it_o according_a as_o god_n will_v excercise_n we_o for_o he_o will_v not_o send_v we_o full_a joy_n so_o as_o we_o may_v laugh_v with_o open_a mouth_n as_o they_o say_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v content_v with_o this_o certainty_n that_o we_o have_v he_o to_o our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v mercy_n with_o he_o then_o if_o we_o have_v this_o privilege_n of_o ability_n too_o call_v upon_o our_o god_n and_o can_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o gate_n be_v open_a to_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v good_a access_n unto_o he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o say_v if_o we_o can_v have_v that_o boldness_n not_o through_o our_o own_o rashness_n but_o for_o that_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o open_v his_o holy_a mouth_n too_o witness_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o which_o thing_n he_o do_v when_o his_o gospel_n be_v publish_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o encumbrance_n yea_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 heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n see_v that_o god_n vouchsafe_v too_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o have_v show_v the_o same_o not_o only_o by_o his_o word_n but_o also_o in_o very_a deed_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n who_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v but_o give_v too_o the_o death_n for_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v gather_v new_a strength_n and_o be_v restore_v again_o and_o that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v become_v as_o fresh_a as_o a_o young_a child_n for_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o although_o we_o feel_v many_o misery_n in_o this_o world_n as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o must_v have_v many_o adversity_n in_o pass_v through_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o have_v a_o joy_n that_o shall_v overcome_v and_o get_v the_o victory_n of_o all_o thing_n if_o our_o lord_n comfort_v we_o in_o his_o

when_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o peace_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v the_o gladness_n which_o in_o give_v we_o through_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o the_o same_o peace_n pass_v all_o man_n understanding_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v that_o the_o same_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n or_o victory_n in_o our_o heart_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o while_n we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v have_v many_o trouble_n and_o grief_n yea_o and_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o death_n at_o every_o blow_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o say_a peace_n of_o god_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o make_v we_o conqueror_n in_o fight_v and_o undoubted_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n enlighten_v we_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o four_o psalm_n that_o all_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o world_n can_v make_v they_o so_o glad_a which_o be_v fleshly_a and_o desire_v these_o worldly_a thing_n make_v sport_n &_o mirth_n when_o they_o fare_v well_o so_o as_o they_o have_v good_a store_n too_o eat_v and_o drink_v true_a it_o be_v that_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o very_o merry_a howbeit_o if_o god_n make_v his_o countenance_n too_o shine_v upon_o we_o our_o joy_n must_v needs_o surmount_v all_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o worldling_n be_v wont_v to_o desire_v now_o when_o eliu_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v immediate_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v pray_v unto_o god_n and_o appease_v he_o or_o find_v he_o favourable_a behold_v here_o yet_o one_o point_n more_o which_o import_v very_o much_o for_o without_o this_o call_n upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o know_v not_o right_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o joy_n
we_o not_o think_v hereupon_o that_o god_n pardon_v our_o sin_n too_o let_v we_o fall_v asleep_a in_o they_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v seek_v to_o he_o and_o make_v the_o privilege_n which_o be_v give_v we_o available_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n be_v bold_a too_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o eliu_n have_v speak_v so_o add_v he_o will_v look_v towards_o man_n and_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n and_o it_o have_v not_o boot_v i_o he_o have_v deliver_v my_o soul_n from_o the_o pit_n this_o text_n be_v expound_v by_o some_o man_n as_o though_o eliu_n speak_v of_o god_n say_v that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o look_v so_o towards_o man_n and_o that_o if_o any_o man_n say_v i_o have_v do_v amiss_o then_o whereas_o he_o have_v be_v in_o the_o darkness_n of_o death_n god_n deliver_v his_o soul_n from_o the_o pit_n and_o restore_v to_o he_o the_o light_n of_o life_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o word_n for_o word_n it_o be_v set_v down_o thus_o he_o will_v look_v towards_o man_n and_o say_v i_o have_v do_v amiss_o i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n and_o it_o have_v not_o stand_v i_o in_o any_o stead_n or_o be_v not_o meet_v and_o convenient_a for_o i_o a_o man_n may_v see_v and_o easy_o gather_v that_o eliu_n go_v on_o still_o with_o his_o matter_n show_v that_o they_o which_o be_v bring_v so_o low_o as_o to_o feel_v their_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v even_o at_o death_n door_n if_o god_n show_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o call_v they_o back_o again_o and_o give_v they_o hope_v of_o life_n and_o special_o cheer_v their_o heart_n so_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o true_a assuredness_n of_o faith_n do_v afterward_o turn_v themselves_o to_o man_n and_o declare_v their_o misery_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o magnify_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n which_o they_o have_v feel_v and_o so_o the_o second_o fruit_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v that_o when_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n know_v that_o god_n have_v not_o shake_v he_o off_o but_o as_o yet_o open_v he_o the_o way_n and_o give_v he_o access_n too_o come_v unto_o he_o like_a as_o he_o rest_v thereupon_o too_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o afterward_o make_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n available_a so_o also_o it_o behove_v he_o too_o confess_v the_o say_a goodness_n of_o god_n before_o man_n and_o not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o show_v the_o misery_n wherein_o he_o be_v until_o god_n have_v deliver_v he_o by_o his_o mercy_n to_o be_v short_a like_z as_z when_o god_n have_v send_v we_o the_o promise_n of_o his_o gospel_n we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v they_o and_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o so_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mourn_v before_o man_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v pray_v to_o god_n privy_o by_o himself_o but_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o endeavour_n to_o provoke_v our_o neighbour_n too_o the_o same_o so_o as_o one_o of_o we_o may_v be_v edify_v by_o another_o and_o he_o that_o have_v feel_v how_o good_a and_o merciful_a god_n be_v must_v show_v it_o unto_o other_o that_o they_o may_v take_v example_n at_o it_o and_o when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o agreement_n amongst_o we_o we_o must_v also_o preach_v god_n praise_n together_o according_a as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n which_o may_v not_o just_o confess_v that_o god_n have_v a_o hundred_o time_n pluck_v he_o out_o of_o his_o grave_n and_o quicken_v he_o you_o see_v they_o in_o effect_n what_o the_o mean_a of_o eliu_n be_v howbeit_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a profit_n by_o this_o sentence_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o to_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o and_o they_o to_o go_v unto_o god_n &_o afterward_o to_o go_v unto_o our_o neighbour_n thus_o you_o see_v three_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n and_o it_o be_v a_o order_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o keep_v well_o the_o first_o be_v that_o man_n shall_v examine_v their_o own_o conscience_n &_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o why_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o sin_n for_o until_o we_o have_v well_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v worse_o than_o wretched_a how_o will_v we_o have_v recourse_n unto_o god_n we_o will_v not_o be_v move_v to_o seek_v he_o nor_o to_o desire_v forgiveness_n so_o than_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o too_o begin_v at_o the_o say_a point_n namely_o too_o feel_v our_o sin_n how_o grievous_a they_o be_v and_o also_o too_o feel_v and_o conceive_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v forlorn_a and_o behold_v hell_n as_o it_o be_v gape_v upon_o we_o to_o swallow_v we_o up_o and_o be_v so_o utter_o astonish_v as_o we_o may_v be_v drive_v to_o say_v alas_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o that_o we_o may_v have_v no_o rest_n in_o ourselves_o but_o languish_v so_o in_o our_o misery_n as_o we_o may_v come_v with_o a_o earnest_a zeal_n too_o seek_v the_o lord_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o step_n that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o god_n and_o see_v he_o tarry_v not_o till_o we_o seek_v he_o but_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n prevent_v we_o in_o somuch_o that_o he_o inspire_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v seek_v he_o and_o flee_v for_o refuge_n unto_o his_o mercy_n &_o there_o rest_v when_o we_o have_v any_o promise_n of_o his_o goodness_n set_v afore_o we_o see_v that_o he_o seek_v sinner_n to_o bring_v they_o from_o death_n to_o life_n we_o must_v take_v those_o promise_n and_o apply_v they_o too_o our_o use_n say_v even_o so_o my_o god_n thou_o show_v that_o thou_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v sinner_n too_o mercy_n behold_v i_o be_o one_o yea_o and_o i_o be_o so_o forlorn_a as_o i_o wot_v not_o any_o more_o what_o too_o do_v therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o lord_n but_o thou_o will_v make_v i_o feel_v they_o grace_n and_o goodness_n so_o lord_n there_o will_v i_o rest_v and_o although_o i_o be_v hem_v in_o with_o many_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n which_o be_v able_a to_o turn_v i_o from_o thou_o yet_o will_v i_o rest_v upon_o thy_o promise_n and_o therewith_o call_v upon_o thou_o assure_v myself_o that_o thou_o will_v strengthen_v i_o against_o all_o satan_n temptation_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o deal_v the_o three_o point_n be_v the_o conclusion_n that_o eliu_n make_v here_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v declare_v god_n goodness_n to_o our_o neighbour_n so_o farforth_o as_o be_v needful_a to_o their_o edify_n that_o he_o may_v be_v praise_v with_o one_o accord_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o welfare_n but_o in_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n remedy_n it_o not_o these_o say_v i_o be_v the_o three_o degree_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o keep_v but_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o ourselves_o and_o why_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o which_o will_v blaze_v abroad_o god_n praise_n with_o full_a mouth_n but_o they_o have_v not_o well_o foremynd_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v which_o think_v themselves_o discharge_v when_o they_o have_v say_v oh_o my_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o i_o i_o have_v be_v such_o a_o one_o i_o have_v do_v such_o a_o evil_a deed_n true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o man_n have_v some_o feel_n in_o themselves_o and_o speak_v not_o altogether_o through_o hypocrisy_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v much_o wind_n in_o they_o and_o their_o mouth_n be_v large_a than_o their_o heart_n for_o scarce_o have_v they_o taste_v of_o god_n mercy_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o have_v feel_v it_o thorough_o and_o that_o they_o be_v full_o fraught_v with_o it_o but_o there_o be_v vanity_n and_o ambition_n in_o such_o man_n when_o they_o wyden_v their_o mouth_n after_o that_o sort_n too_o speak_v well_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v not_o mind_v god_n grace_n too_o feel_v it_o according_o that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o imprint_v in_o their_o conscience_n and_o they_o themselves_o be_v right_o nourish_v with_o it_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o before_o we_o speak_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v consider_v well_o what_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o have_v examine_v well_o ourselves_o too_o have_v be_v diligent_a in_o search_v how_o wretched_a we_o be_v and_o too_o
the_o order_n of_o nature_n but_o when_o we_o have_v once_o feel_v well_o the_o grievousness_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o afterward_o be_v able_a too_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o too_o call_v upon_o god_n with_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o too_o rest_n upon_o his_o mercy_n and_o fatherly_a goodness_n by_o feel_v he_o favourable_a too_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o this_o then_o be_v it_o time_n to_o look_v towards_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v too_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n this_o then_o be_v a_o inferior_a thing_n to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v declare_v afore_o and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o look_v towards_o man_n we_o must_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v aside_o from_o goodness_n i_o have_v be_v a_o wretched_a man_n here_o then_o it_o be_v show_v we_o after_o what_o sort_n god_n ought_v too_o be_v glorify_v by_o we_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o he_o only_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o iniquity_n in_o we_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o roman_n for_o when_o he_o say_v there_o that_o god_n be_v justify_v he_o mean_v that_o we_o ourselves_o must_v first_o be_v condemn_v if_o god_n shall_v be_v count_v righteous_a and_o we_o righteous_a to_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o then_o shall_v he_o have_v a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v common_a and_o intermeddle_v with_o man_n but_o when_o we_o be_v utter_o convict_v and_o no_o man_n dare_v exempt_v himself_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o

all_o righteousness_n that_o be_v the_o right_a acknowledge_v of_o he_o to_o be_v righteous_a wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o do_v as_o be_v show_v we_o here_o for_o it_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n for_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o it_o be_v not_o give_v by_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v we_o then_o desirous_a to_o publish_v god_n goodness_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o in_o forgive_a we_o our_o sin_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o make_v this_o confession_n with_o the_o mouth_n to_o our_o salvation_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o ten_o too_o the_o roman_n that_o our_o beleve_v with_o the_o heart_n make_v we_o righteous_a and_o our_o confess_v with_o the_o mouth_n make_v we_o safe_a and_o saint_n paul_n be_v a_o good_a and_o

according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v inseparable_a now_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n and_o it_o have_v not_o profit_v i_o the_o holy_a ghost_n show_v we_o that_o our_o confession_n must_v be_v pure_a and_o free-hearted_a and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o speak_v by_o half_n as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v which_o say_v oh_o it_o be_v

they_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o this_o text_n where_o eliu_n after_o he_o have_v show_v that_o the_o sinner_n which_o be_v quit_v at_o god_n hand_n will_v

must_v deal_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o for_o countenance_v sake_n but_o so_o as_o the_o heart_n do_v speak_v before_o god_n and_o then_o the_o mouth_n also_o agree_v with_o it_o too_o confess_v

what_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o when_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o and_o that_o not_o light_o but_o grievous_o so_o as_o one_o become_v a_o drunkard_n another_o a_o whoremaster_n a_o three_o a_o

so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o many_o man_n must_v be_v too_o bereave_v they_o of_o all_o excuse_n
&_o to_o drown_v they_o in_o the_o deep_a of_o hell_n because_o they_o can_v not_o make_v their_o profit_n of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n provoke_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o exhortation_n that_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o here_o wherefore_o let_v we_o fight_v against_o the_o pride_n and_o hypocrisy_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o they_o be_v the_o two_o thing_n which_o keep_v we_o from_o humble_v of_o ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o from_o confess_v of_o our_o fault_n before_o man_n hypocrisy_n make_v we_o to_o labour_v continual_o to_o cloak_v our_o sin_n &_o to_o pretend_v to_o give_v ourselves_o unto_o goodness_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n our_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o it_o and_o we_o go_v the_o clean_a contrary_a way_n and_o again_o pride_n make_v we_o to_o desire_v always_o to_o be_v in_o good_a reputation_n alas_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v esteem_v among_o man_n or_o at_o leastwise_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o reproach_n and_o although_o we_o know_v our_o own_o sin_n yet_o be_v we_o loath_a to_o be_v tell_v of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n behold_v our_o condemnation_n increase_v and_o double_v before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o tame_a this_o pride_n until_o it_o be_v full_o subdue_v so_o as_o we_o may_v come_v to_o our_o god_n with_o all_o humility_n and_o not_o only_o confess_v our_o wretchedness_n before_o he_o but_o also_o endeavour_n too_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n if_o a_o man_n demand_v for_o what_o cause_n we_o shall_v speak_v so_o before_o man_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n may_v be_v know_v too_o be_v only_o righteous_a as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o that_o his_o grace_n may_v appear_v and_o shine_v forth_o although_o god_n can_v forbear_v our_o confession_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v have_v it_o open_o and_o manifest_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o debt_n and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o cast_v down_o and_o even_o at_o the_o point_n of_o despair_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o we_o ought_v too_o confess_v before_o our_o neighbour_n the_o goodness_n that_o we_o have_v feel_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o that_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o death_n and_o from_o the_o destruction_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v also_o there_o be_v a_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o other_o man_n shall_v be_v edify_v by_o our_o example_n i_o have_v be_v exercise_v in_o affliction_n and_o god_n have_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o it_o it_o be_v good_a that_o other_o shall_v know_v of_o it_o that_o when_o god_n shall_v afflict_v they_o they_o may_v think_v with_o themselves_o behold_v god_n hand_n be_v upon_o i_o and_o he_o summon_v i_o and_o why_o for_o i_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a in_o my_o sin_n i_o be_v as_o a_o stray_n beast_n and_o now_o i_o see_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o draw_v i_o home_o and_o to_o set_v i_o into_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n again_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v warn_v of_o god_n work_v which_o we_o have_v feel_v in_o ourselves_o according_a as_o we_o see_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o the_o confession_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v make_v in_o time_n past_a do_v serve_v at_o this_o day_n for_o our_o learning_n if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o example_n of_o david_n in_o the_o great_a number_n of_o affliction_n which_o he_o feel_v and_o overcome_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o feel_v any_o small_a adversity_n we_o shall_v forthwith_o be_v at_o the_o point_n of_o despair_n but_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o issue_v be_v good_a and_o profitable_a unto_o david_n and_o that_o he_o confess_v it_o too_o have_v be_v a_o necessary_a thing_n for_o he_o too_o be_v so_o afflict_v and_o chastise_v at_o god_n hand_n we_o also_o do_v trust_n in_o god_n and_o flee_v unto_o he_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n too_o raise_v man_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n when_o he_o have_v cast_v they_o into_o it_o so_o then_o when_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o report_v how_o god_n have_v visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n for_o a_o time_n and_o afterward_o quicken_v we_o again_o it_o serve_v to_o instruct_v our_o neighbour_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v novice_n nor_o think_v it_o strange_a when_o god_n shall_v visit_v they_o in_o their_o turn_n and_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n and_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o it_o by_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o stir_v up_o too_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n by_o experience_n in_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v they_o so_o to_o mercy_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v here_o be_v not_o unprofitable_a for_o a_o hundred_o be_v edify_v and_o instruct_v by_o the_o example_n of_o one_o man_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o put_v away_o retchlessness_n when_o our_o lord_n shall_v have_v show_v we_o any_o favour_n so_o as_o we_o may_v magnify_v his_o goodness_n before_o man_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v preach_v with_o one_o common_a accord_n and_o afterward_o it_o be_v say_v for_o a_o conclusion_n he_o have_v deliver_v my_o soul_n from_o the_o pit_n and_o my_o life_n from_o enter_v into_o the_o grave_n true_o this_o can_v be_v thorough_o dispatch_v as_o now_o but_o it_o must_v suffice_v we_o to_o have_v a_o short_a abridgement_n of_o it_o as_o need_n require_v for_o the_o join_n of_o this_o part_n too_o that_o with_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o discourse_n have_v be_v make_v of_o the_o confess_v of_o sin_n how_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o condemn_v themselves_o &_o that_o afterward_o it_o behove_v they_o immediate_o to_o add_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n in_o that_o they_o have_v know_v his_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n yea_o and_o it_o have_v not_o boot_v i_o at_o all_o but_o my_o god_n have_v draw_v i_o out_o of_o the_o pit_n then_o assoon_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o wretchedness_n &_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o he_o will_v have_v we_o immediate_o to_o preach_v god_n mercy_n according_a as_o we_o have_v feel_v it_o how_o he_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o perish_v as_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o help_v we_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o unto_o sinner_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n they_o to_o resist_v their_o maker_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o gain_v when_o we_o hide_v our_o sin_n and_o think_v not_o upon_o they_o but_o rather_o nourish_v they_o by_o fond_a selfelyke_v alas_o alas_o it_o be_v always_o too_o our_o great_a destruction_n but_o when_o god_n discover_v our_o iniquity_n and_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v they_o them_z do_v he_o procure_v our_o profit_n for_o therein_o he_o provoke_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o further_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o when_o god_n shake_v we_o off_o and_o lay_v our_o wickedness_n too_o our_o charge_n there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o we_o must_v be_v forlorn_a until_o our_o god_n be_v pitiful_a to_o we_o and_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o god_n forgive_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o raise_v we_o from_o death_n so_o as_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n then_o have_v he_o wrought_v a_o resurrection_n in_o us._n we_o be_v dead_a and_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o life_n in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o and_o he_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o make_v we_o alive_a again_o and_o too_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v raise_v we_o to_o life_n as_o often_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o satan_n cease_v not_o to_o thrust_v we_o from_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n let_v we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o inflame_v and_o provoke_v to_o exalt_v it_o high_o as_o it_o deserve_v now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o so_o to_o exercise_v we_o in_o his_o judgement_n &_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o
that_o the_o same_o fear_n serve_v not_o to_o dismay_v we_o but_o too_o bring_v we_o under_o his_o lure_n that_o we_o may_v crave_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v so_o beat_v and_o let_v we_o further_o understand_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v too_o provoke_v his_o vengeance_n more_o and_o more_o except_o he_o give_v we_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o than_o you_o see_v how_o god_n scourge_v aught_o to_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o fear_v and_o honour_v he_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v for_o his_o earth_n god_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o himself_o when_o he_o destroy_v we_o not_o utter_o do_v we_o then_o see_v that_o god_n suffer_v we_o to_o

we_o and_o this_o serve_v to_o bereave_v we_o of_o all_o our_o pride_n and_o to_o make_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ashamed_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v leave_v our_o flatter_a of_o ourselves_o for_o we_o see_v that_o man_n will_v fain_o hide_v their_o own_o filthiness_n in_o what_o plight_n soever_o they_o be_v they_o cease_v not_o to_o like_v well_o of_o then selue_o â–ª_o and_o to_o

will_v spare_v you_o yea_o howbeit_o not_o because_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o for_o we_o must_v always_o conclude_v that_o what_o so_o ever_o god_n do_v for_o we_o he_o have_v not_o respect_n

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_o

adays_o our_o life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o

whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a

to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o

trouble_n he_o must_v have_v a_o care_n to_o apply_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o such_o use_n as_o he_o may_v be_v comfort_v by_o it_o why_o so_o for_o we_o be_v offend_v if_o a_o man_n come_v too_o sting_v we_o and_o to_o heap_v up_o yet_o more_o trouble_n upon_o we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o adversity_n already_o and_o we_o will_v soon_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a cruelty_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o honesty_n and_o good_a deal_n in_o man_n when_o they_o handle_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o will_v do_v the_o like_a to_o himself_o as_o how_o if_o i_o be_v in_o any_o he_o avinesse_n and_o take_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o comfort_v i_o with_o i_o bethink_v i_o not_o to_o take_v the_o text_n that_o shall_v do_v it_o but_o rather_o if_o i_o meet_v with_o any_o threaten_n in_o stead_n that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v make_v i_o feel_v some_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n to_o my_o comfort_n in_o he_o and_o assuage_v all_o my_o sorrow_n i_o set_v myself_o on_o fire_n and_o increase_v my_o grief_n more_o and_o more_o see_v then_o how_o we_o overshoot_v overselue_n because_o we_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o comfort_v ourselves_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o as_o god_n will_v we_o shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o not_o only_o let_v we_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n of_o our_o neighbour_n when_o they_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o also_o let_v every_o of_o we_o look_v to_o himself_o to_o comfort_v and_o assuage_v his_o own_o sorrow_n aright_o when_o he_o light_v into_o such_o extremity_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o lay_v down_o a_o gage_n and_o to_o give_v a_o pledge_n or_o too_o put_v in_o a_o surety_n who_o be_v he_o say_v job_n that_o will_v touch_v i_o in_o my_o hand_n he_o return_v too_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v declare_v yesterday_o which_o be_v that_o he_o will_v fain_o go_v to_o law_n with_o god_n yea_o and_o do_v it_o as_o with_o his_o fellow_n or_o his_o equal_a for_o why_o demand_v he_o a_o gage_n why_o demand_v he_o a_o surety_n or_o warrantise_n it_o be_v because_o he_o will_v have_v god_n too_o abase_v himself_o from_o his_o majesty_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v sure_o so_o long_o as_o thou_o continue_v in_o thy_o greatness_n i_o dare_v not_o come_v to_o dispute_v against_o thou_o for_o thou_o be_v overmightie_a to_o confound_v i_o but_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o talk_v with_o thou_o lay_v i_o down_o a_o gage_n bind_v thyself_o to_o abide_v trial_n and_o submit_v thyself_o too_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o judge_n in_o case_n as_o

sign_n a_o paper_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o judge_n or_o of_o a_o notary_n so_o in_o those_o day_n the_o party_n touch_v one_o another_o in_o the_o hand_n too_o give_v their_o faith_n and_o to_o
