the_o eye_n of_o servant_n look_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n 123._o and_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o maiden_n unto_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o mistress_n even_o so_o our_o eye_n wait_v

only_o for_o the_o benefit_n he_o receive_v as_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n teach_v he_o may_v therefore_o by_o david_n true_o say_v i_o have_v set_v the_o lord_n always_o before_o i_o by_o

of_o all_o the_o virtue_n which_o we_o read_v flourish_v sometime_o in_o the_o saint_n seneca_n give_v counsel_n in_o time_n past_o that_o for_o the_o better_a avoid_n of_o fault_n which_o use_v to_o

for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n they_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n have_v neither_o eye_n nor_o ear_n 94._o wherewith_o to_o see_v and_o hear_v their_o mischievousness_n but_o when_o god_n who_o they_o will_v not_o set_v before_o their_o eye_n show_v himself_o to_o they_o to_o be_v angry_a and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v reprove_v they_o to_o their_o face_n 50._o and_o punish_v their_o wickedness_n they_o run_v to_o he_o again_o but_o yet_o ask_v no_o help_n and_o succour_n as_o the_o child_n of_o god_n use_n of_o he_o that_o correct_v they_o 9_o but_o for_o a_o season_n

to_o be_v admit_v which_o think_v this_o be_v but_o a_o superfluous_a care_n and_o labour_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o church_n have_v nothing_o of_o more_o price_n than_o

neglect_v all_o other_o thing_n in_o comparison_n hereof_o as_o we_o may_v perceive_v in_o the_o six_o chapter_n therefore_o they_o be_v far_o unlike_o the_o apostle_n that_o neglect_v the_o office_n and_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o teach_n and_o be_v occupy_v in_o wearish_a ceremony_n or_o else_o in_o administration_n of_o earthly_a jurisdiction_n but_o let_v we_o return_v unto_o paul_n

they_o bereeve_v themselves_o of_o the_o wholesome_a succour_n of_o prayer_n which_o the_o godly_a use_n to_o make_v even_o for_o their_o enemy_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v wilt_v thou_o say_v
