be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v without_o temptation_n when_o it_o chance_v to_o we_o as_o it_o do_v to_o peter_n to_o labour_v all_o the_o night_n and_o to_o take_v no_o profit_n thereby_o we_o take_v it_o unpacient_o and_o go_v about_o to_o lay_v all_o aside_o and_o depart_v but_o we_o ought_v to_o overcome_v this_o temptation_n and_o stick_v to_o our_o vocation_n steadfast_o and_o to_o cast_v all_o our_o care_n on_o the_o lord_n for_o i_o have_v know_v this_o often_o time_n by_o experience_n when_o the_o obedient_a child_n in_o a_o family_n have_v have_v misfortune_n and_o contrariwise_o the_o disobedient_a and_o stubborn_a good_a fortune_n but_o at_o last_o the_o hard_a case_n of_o the_o good_a be_v more_o commend_v and_o the_o wicked_a have_v a_o evil_a end_n wherefore_o if_o it_o chance_v likewise_o to_o thou_o that_o all_o thing_n go_v not_o well_o be_v constant_a and_o strengthen_v thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o temptation_n for_o better_o be_v misfortune_n with_o obedience_n then_o good_a fortune_n with_o wickedness_n the_o reason_n be_v that_o god_n at_o the_o last_o cast_v away_o the_o disobedient_a with_o their_o prosperity_n be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a and_o exalt_v the_o humble_a and_o meek_a to_o great_a renown_n this_o example_n of_o peter_n peter_n be_v studious_o to_o be_v follow_v in_o that_o he_o have_v respect_n only_o to_o the_o word_n and_o follow_v that_o and_o be_v nothing_o move_v with_o these_o thought_n which_o sure_o will_v great_o have_v trouble_v we_o and_o doubtless_o they_o be_v in_o his_o mind_n also_o for_o we_o be_v command_v aswell_o as_o peter_n to_o labour_v and_o to_o serve_v in_o our_o vocation_n he_o that_o take_v hold_v to_o his_o vocation_n and_o suffer_v not_o

end_n for_o god_n can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o but_o at_o length_n have_v respect_n to_o obedience_n although_o he_o differ_v it_o for_o a_o time_n and_o prove_v we_o whether_o we_o regard_v his_o commandment_n or_o not_o wherefore_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v weary_a if_o he_o have_v labour_v all_o the_o night_n without_o profit_n for_o if_o peter_n have_v go_v about_o this_o draught_n in_o the_o night_n he_o will_v have_v impute_v it_o to_o his_o cunning_a and_o labour_n neither_o will_v he_o have_v think_v any_o thing_n else_o requisite_a to_o such_o a_o success_n but_o whereas_o he_o fish_v all_o night_n and_o take_v nothing_o and_o christ_n first_o minister_v his_o word_n bid_v he_o there_o with_o to_o assay_v again_o there_o have_v peter_n a_o sure_a trial_n that_o this_o good_a success_n come_v not_o by_o fish_v and_o labour_n but_o of_o god_n word_n and_o blessing_n and_o let_v this_o suffice_v you_o as_o concern_v the_o first_o doctrine_n which_o be_v corporal_a and_o pertain_v to_o the_o bodily_a livelode_n that_o christ_n will_v be_v present_a with_o all_o his_o that_o labour_n by_o his_o blessing_n and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o perish_v for_o hunger_n the_o second_o doctrine_n be_v spiritual_a for_o thus_o do_v it_o follow_v in_o the_o history_n that_o peter_n be_v astonish_v by_o the_o draught_n of_o fish_n and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v not_o only_a man_n and_o whereas_o he_o acknowledge_v himself_o a_o sinner_n and_o fall_v down_o at_o christ_n foot_n sai_v depart_v from_o i_o lord_n for_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a matter_n and_o few_o understande_v it_o for_o it_o seem_v hereby_o that_o peter_n do_v it_o of_o a_o certain_a religion_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v for_o a_o reverence_n to_o depart_v from_o christ_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v not_o so_o the_o conscience_n be_v in_o this_o case_n well_o when_o god_n come_v with_o his_o grace_n and_o promise_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a free_o for_o christ_n sake_n the_o grace_n be_v so_o large_a that_o all_o thing_n seem_v to_o great_a for_o we_o neither_o dare_v we_o approach_v nigh_o thereto_o for_o the_o greatness_n thereof_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v good_a and_o merciful_a but_o that_o he_o embrace_v we_o with_o his_o great_a mercy_n our_o heart_n can_v not_o be_v make_v to_o believe_v that_o all_o man_n think_v if_o i_o be_v so_o pure_a and_o rightuous_a as_o marie_n the_o virgin_n saint_n peter_n saint_n paul_n i_o will_v couple_v myself_o also_o to_o his_o grace_n but_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a of_o grace_n but_o rather_o of_o wroth_a then_o come_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o enlarge_v sin_n so_o much_o in_o thy_o heart_n that_o thou_o may_v see_v nothing_o but_o thy_o unworthiness_n and_o thou_o can_v not_o but_o wonder_n and_o be_v amaze_v at_o the_o greatness_n of_o that_o exceed_a grace_n this_o be_v a_o spiritual_a temptation_n whereof_o the_o profane_a and_o rude_a as_o we_o be_v almost_o all_o have_v no_o perceveraunce_n nor_o understanding_n for_o this_o be_v learn_v by_o experience_n only_o and_o no_o otherwise_o wherefore_o the_o great_a sort_n live_v on_o such_o wise_a that_o they_o think_v not_o much_o either_o of_o their_o sin_n or_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god._n but_o true_a christian_a

far_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a of_o so_o great_a mercy_n of_o god._n and_o hereunto_o belong_v that_o christ_n comfort_v peter_n to_o be_v without_o fear_n for_o because_o he_o go_v not_o about_o now_o to_o judge_v peter_n sin_n but_o to_o deliver_v he_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o set_v he_o in_o such_o a_o office_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v other_o also_o to_o the_o same_o grace_n so_o that_o all_o this_o comfort_n may_v be_v apply_v if_o we_o shall_v chance_v to_o have_v such_o thought_n and_o be_v put_v in_o like_a fear_n to_o encourage_v we_o to_o resist_v they_o and_o not_o to_o give_v

for_o the_o devil_n will_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o provoke_v christ_n to_o work_v a_o miracle_n but_o his_o purpose_n be_v only_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n to_o take_v
