A00808	A diamonde most precious, worthy to be marked instructing all maysters and seruauntes, how they ought to leade their lyues, in that uocation which is fruitfull, and necessary, as well for the maysters, as also for the seruants, agreeable vnto the holy Scriptures. Reade me ouer, and then iudge, if I be not well, then grudge: thinke well of him that mee made, for Gods worde shall neuer fade.	Fit John, John.	1577 (1577)	STC 10929; ESTC S117750	53,823	110

have_v please_v thou_o to_o make_v we_o rich_a man_n of_o great_a authority_n know_v certain_o that_o if_o it_o be_v more_o expedient_a for_o thy_o glory_n and_o our_o salvation_n to_o have_v either_o high_a or_o low_a of_o degree_n or_o great_a riches_n in_o this_o world_n than_o we_o have_v as_o we_o thank_v thy_o goodness_n for_o that_o which_o we_o have_v that_o both_o thou_o may_v by_o thy_o own_o omnipotent_a power_n and_o also_o by_o thy_o great_a goodness_n will_v have_v make_v we_o great_a rich_a man_n like_a as_o thou_o haste_v in_o old_a time_n advance_v many_o as_o of_o low_a degree_n as_o we_o be_v to_o great_a riches_n and_o honour_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o consider_v it_o be_v neither_o for_o promotion_n of_o thy_o honour_n nor_o for_o our_o profit_n to_o be_v great_a and_o rich_a they_o we_o be_v we_o beseech_v thou_o make_v we_o well_o content_a from_o our_o heart_n with_o that_o degree_n and_o substance_n which_o we_o have_v and_o to_o continue_v in_o this_o laborious_a state_n wherein_o we_o now_o be_v neither_o grudge_n against_o thou_o for_o this_o our_o poverty_n nor_o envy_v the_o riches_n and_o honour_n of_o other_o man_n know_v that_o the_o wealth_n of_o rich_a man_n be_v profitable_a to_o we_o and_o to_o all_o poor_a man_n and_o the_o prosperity_n of_o great_a man_n as_o our_o quietness_n &_o safeguard_n moreover_o oh_o lord_n we_o knowledge_n that_o it_o be_v thy_o divine_a majesty_n that_o some_o shall_v be_v set_v in_o high_a authority_n to_o rule_v other_o and_o some_o to_o be_v rich_a then_o other_o for_o if_o all_o man_n be_v in_o a_o like_a authority_n and_o riches_n each_o man_n will_v despise_v his_o neighbour_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o man_n will_v be_v so_o intolerable_a that_o they_o will_v never_o suffer_v no_o good_a order_n to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o all_o man_n be_v a_o like_a poor_a the_o misery_n in_o the_o world_n will_v be_v so_o great_a that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o help_v another_o so_o that_o these_o diverse_a office_n among_o man_n and_o this_o diversity_n of_o riches_n honour_n and_o poverty_n which_o thou_o have_v ordain_v oh_o lord_n in_o

with_o his_o degree_n in_o this_o world_n he_o must_v needs_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n because_o he_o be_v sturdy_a and_o a_o striver_n against_o thy_o ordinance_n and_o because_o we_o perceive_v oh_o lord_n that_o many_o in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o content_a with_o their_o estate_n but_o seek_v the_o honour_n and_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n some_o be_v rebellious_a and_o obstinate_a some_o murderer_n briber_n thief_n and_o other_o unjust_a man_n we_o meke_o beseech_v thy_o divine_a majesty_n to_o amend_v all_o such_o and_o to_o save_v we_o that_o we_o never_o consent_v to_o their_o wickedness_n nor_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o their_o evil_a do_n but_o evermore_o that_o we_o may_v have_v thy_o grace_n to_o live_v content_a with_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v seute_z and_o will_v send_v we_o by_o truth_n and_o honesty_n and_o just_a mean_n that_o we_o run_v the_o race_n of_o this_o short_a life_n in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o

most_o love_a savyor_n &_o gentle_a redeemer_n which_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o call_v sinner_n unto_o repentance_n and_o to_o seek_v up_o that_o be_v lose_v thou_o see_v in_o what_o case_n this_o our_o brother_n lie_v here_o visit_v with_o thy_o merciful_a hand_n all_o weak_a feeble_a sick_a and_o ready_a to_o yield_v up_o his_o soul_n into_o thy_o holy_a hand_n oh_o look_n upon_o he_o most_o gentle_a saviour_n with_o thy_o merciful_a eye_n yea_o pity_v he_o and_o be_v favourable_a unto_o he_o he_o be_v thy_o workmanship_n despise_v not_o the_o work_n therefore_o of_o thy_o hand_n thou_o suffer_v thy_o blessed_a body_n &_o thy_o precious_a blood_n to_o be_v shed_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o all_o we_o and_o to_o bring_v he_o unto_o the_o glory_n of_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n let_v it_o not_o therefore_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o thou_o shall_v suffer_v so_o great_a pain_n for_o he_o in_o vain_a he_o be_v baptise_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o give_v himself_o whole_o to_o be_v thy_o servant_n forsake_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n count_v he_o therefore_o before_o thy_o heavenly_a father_n and_o his_o bless_a angel_n to_o be_v thy_o servant_n his_o sin_n we_o count_v be_v great_a for_o who_o be_v able_a to_o say_v my_o heart_n be_v clean_a and_o i_o be_o free_a from_o my_o sin_n but_o thy_o mercy_n oh_o lord_n be_v much_o great_a and_o thou_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o the_o sinner_n unto_o repentance_n to_o they_o that_o be_v disease_v and_o overload_v with_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n thou_o do_v promise_v thou_o be_v that_o god_n which_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v turn_v and_o live_v thou_o be_v that_o saviour_n which_o wyshe_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thy_o truth_n withdraw_v not_o therefore_o thy_o merciful_a hand_n from_o he_o because_o of_o his_o sin_n but_o rather_o lay_v upon_o he_o thy_o save_a health_n that_o thou_o may_v show_v thyself_o towards_o he_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n what_o great_a praise_n can_v be_v to_o a_o physician_n then_o to_o heal_v the_o sick_a neither_o can_v there_o be_v a_o great_a glory_n to_o thou_o be_v a_o saviour_n of_o sinner_n save_v he_o therefore_o oh_o lord_n for_o thy_o name_n sake_n again_o let_v the_o law_n be_v no_o corisye_n to_o his_o conscience_n but_o rather_o give_v he_o grace_v in_o this_o extreme_a agony_n and_o conflict_n of_o death_n to_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o thou_o by_o thy_o death_n haste_v take_v away_o all_o his_o sin_n and_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o he_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v deliver_v he_o from_o the_o care_n of_o the_o law_n and_o pay_v his_o ransom_n that_o he_o thus_o be_v full_o persuade_v may_v have_v a_o

of_o death_n even_o satan_n suffer_v he_o not_o therefore_o to_o exercise_n his_o tyranny_n upon_o this_o our_o sick_a brother_n nor_o to_o disquiet_v his_o conscience_n with_o the_o terror_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o pain_n of_o hell_n let_v not_o satan_n nor_o his_o infernal_a army_n tempt_v he_o further_o than_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o evermore_o give_v he_o grace_n even_o unto_o his_o last_o breath_n valiant_o to_o fight_n against_o the_o devil_n with_o strong_a faith_n in_o thy_o precious_a blood_n that_o he_o may_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n and_o finish_v his_o course_n with_o joy_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o thy_o holy_a name_n and_o the_o health_n of_o his_o soul_n oh_o lord_n so_o work_v in_o he_o by_o thy_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o with_o all_o his_o heart_n

again_o in_o a_o much_o better_a state_n than_o it_o be_v now_o or_o ever_o be_v from_o the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n even_o a_o body_n uncorruptible_a immortal_a and_o like_a to_o thy_o glorious_a body_n let_v his_o whole_a heart_n and_o mind_n be_v set_v only_o upon_o thou_o let_v the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n be_v so_o fervent_a in_o his_o breast_n that_o he_o may_v
