&_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

that_o we_o shall_v have_v this_o or_o that_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n pity_v we_o in_o consideration_n that_o we_o be_v so_o frail_a and_o that_o our_o life_n be_v less_o than_o nothing_o it_o be_v not_o do_v to_o give_v we_o occasion_n to_o murmur_v and_o fret_v in_o ourselves_o because_o our_o state_n be_v so_o despizable_a and_o

thou_o fight_v against_o a_o shadow_n but_o a_o man_n may_v think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o death_n leave_v no_o more_o hope_n neither_o for_o himself_o nor_o for_o all_o mankind_n

at_o all_o of_o the_o true_a religion_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o in_o this_o place_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o death_n of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o like_v as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n also_o use_v the_o same_o manner_n of_o indite_v very_o oftentimes_o elsewhere_o and_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n have_v speak_v according_a to_o the_o same_o

it_o then_o let_v we_o tarry_v and_o be_v quiet_a and_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v favour_v the_o device_n of_o the_o wicked_a howsoever_o he_o seem_v to_o

some_o translate_v it_o hell_n and_o whereas_o i_o have_v translate_v open_a it_o be_v before_o they_o or_o in_o their_o sight_n and_o so_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o job_n mean_v too_o say_v

let_v we_o weigh_v well_o that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o man_n shall_v never_o true_o know_v themselves_o sinner_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o as_o it_o be_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

by_o his_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v say_v moreover_o that_o job_n have_v send_v away_o the_o widow_n without_o any_o

for_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o pleasure_v they_o of_o who_o we_o look_v for_o recompense_v but_o contrariwise_o god_n intend_v to_o prove_v our_o charity_n whither_o we_o will_v do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o requite_v we_o and_o beside_o that_o look_v where_o man_n be_v oppress_v there_o must_v we_o apply_v such_o mean_n as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o same_o be_v to_o

nor_o be_v ally_v or_o link_v to_o a_o long_a train_n of_o friend_n by_o who_o they_o may_v be_v maintain_v so_o much_o the_o more_o it_o become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o have_v pity_n upon_o such_o person_n to_o be_v brief_a we_o see_v that_o god_n in_o his_o law_n &_o throughout_o the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n declare_v himself_o to_o be_v more_o grievous_o offend_v when_o widow_n and_o fatherless_a child_n &_o stranger_n be_v afflict_v than_o when_o any_o other_o man_n be_v hurt_v or_o harm_v because_o that_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o succour_n and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o have_v pity_n on_o they_o and_o because_o they_o have_v no_o mean_n to_o requite_v we_o we_o show_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o extend_v our_o charity_n to_o they_o and_o also_o god_n do_v acknowledge_v the_o same_o and_o put_v it_o in_o his_o account_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o profitable_a so_o to_o entreat_v the_o stranger_n widow_n &_o fatherless_a child_n than_o if_o man_n have_v already_o recompense_v we_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o vex_v those_o that_o as_o now_o do_v

thereunto_o and_o if_o i_o play_v the_o niggard_n in_o that_o behalf_n god_n can_v well_o show_v that_o i_o be_o but_o as_o a_o steward_n of_o their_o good_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o i_o to_o

what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o too_o cruel_a the_o very_a necessity_n themselves_o ought_v too_o move_v we_o to_o succour_v our_o neighbour_n and_o true_o though_o we_o have_v neither_o law_n write_v nor_o the_o prophet_n nor_o aught_o else_o be_v not_o nature_n

the_o three_o lack_v the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n and_o another_o want_v defence_n and_o another_o have_v need_n of_o counsel_n in_o this_o case_n we_o see_v our_o own_o flesh_n as_o the_o

not_o be_v we_o not_o as_o ill_a or_o worse_o than_o brute_n beast_n so_o then_o let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o for_o we_o may_v perchance_o allege_v this_o and_o that_o but_o no_o ignorance_n can_v excuse_v we_o for_o although_o we_o have_v not_o one_o word_n of_o teach_v yet_o do_v very_a kind_n itself_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v blame_v worthy_a if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o to_o help_v such_o as_o be_v so_o in_o extremity_n and_o the_o very_a
to_o be_v of_o a_o slavish_a nature_n which_o be_v count_v a_o villainous_a and_o detestable_a thing_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o induce_v we_o the_o more_o to_o the_o mildness_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v we_o in_o this_o strain_n but_o the_o chief_a thing_n be_v the_o well_o bear_v away_o of_o the_o two_o reason_n that_o we_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o have_v one_o maker_n of_o who_o all_o of_o we_o do_v come_v and_o that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o one_o like_o nature_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o consider_v to_o beat_v down_o all_o pride_n and_o cruelty_n in_o we_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v thereunto_o then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o household_n and_o god_n have_v give_v he_o menseruante_n and_o maydseruant_n and_o he_o be_v tempt_v to_o use_v unmeasurable_a rigour_n against_o they_o let_v he_o seek_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o as_o how_o if_o i_o handle_v my_o servant_n cruel_o so_o as_o i_o pluck_v the_o bread_n out_o of_o their_o mouth_n and_o they_o dare_v not_o eat_v one_o morsel_n for_o fear_v lest_o i_o shall_v grudge_v at_o it_o or_o if_o i_o hold_v they_o too_o hard_a to_o their_o

therewithal_o have_v not_o god_n create_v and_o fashion_v they_o have_v not_o both_o they_o and_o we_o one_o common_a master_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o saint_n paul_n allege_v when_o he_o exhort_v master_n to_o bear_v with_o servant_n my_o friend_n say_v he_o although_o you_o have_v superiority_n over_o they_o yet_o have_v you_o also_o a_o master_n in_o heaven_n and_o such_o as_o be_v exalt_v cease_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v subject_n for_o god_n be_v above_o they_o therefore_o let_v they_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o they_o must_v render_v account_n to_o he_o that_o give_v they_o their_o servant_n must_v they_o not_o needs_o be_v restrain_v when_o they_o have_v this_o consideration_n with_o they_o for_o have_v we_o it_o of_o ourselves_o by_o what_o right_a come_v we_o to_o the_o superiority_n which_o every_o of_o we_o have_v in_o his_o own_o behalf_n be_v it_o not_o a_o pawn_n that_o god_n have_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n to_o keep_v then_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v well_o advise_v that_o we_o may_v use_v it_o according_a to_o his_o will_n the_o heathen_a man_n themselves_o when_o they_o intend_v to_o frame_v king_n and_o prince_n to_o conformity_n have_v skill_n enough_o to_o say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o king_n make_v themselves_o fear_v and_o redoubt_a but_o yet_o can_v they_o not_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n there_o be_v a_o god_n above_o they_o if_o this_o be_v verify_v of_o prince_n which_o be_v in_o high_a superiority_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o those_o which_o be_v in_o mean_a authority_n as_o of_o master_n and_o mistress_n â–ª_o and_o furthermore_o as_o i_o say_v let_v we_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v all_o of_o we_o but_o one_o maker_n and_o if_o we_o can_v consider_v that_o we_o be_v all_o descend_v of_o one_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o which_o be_v true_a namely_o that_o we_o can_v not_o oppress_v our_o neighbour_n but_o god_n must_v be_v offend_v therefore_o let_v no_o man_n exalt_v himself_o in_o vanity_n for_o as_o solomon_n say_v he_o that_o mock_v the_o blind_a or_o the_o poor_a despize_v his_o maker_n now_o there_o be_v a_o

that_o he_o which_o create_v the_o master_n create_v the_o servant_n also_o so_o then_o when_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o any_o vain_a presumption_n to_o set_v more_o by_o ourselves_o than_o by_o

namely_o that_o we_o be_v of_o one_o self-same_a nature_n for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n have_v also_o shape_v the_o brute_n beast_n tree_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n but_o he_o have_v not_o shape_v man_n after_o the_o fashion_n of_o brute_n beast_n for_o he_o have_v give_v man_n understand_v and_o print_v his_o image_n in_o they_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n i_o can_v not_o look_v upon_o another_o but_o i_o must_v needs_o see_v myself_o as_o in_o a_o look_a glass_n then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v knit_v such_o a_o knot_n betwixt_o we_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v not_o he_o that_o

whereunto_o we_o be_v call_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o therewithal_o to_o know_v that_o pride_n and_o cruelty_n do_v

have_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n matthew_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v what_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v when_o we_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n from_o heaven_n too_o pull_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v for_o the_o

for_o they_o tie_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o shrift_n and_o where_o do_v god_n ever_o tell_v man_n that_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o shrive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o secret_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n too_o obtain_v mercy_n god_n declare_v that_o if_o the_o sinner_n sigh_v for_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o he_o but_o behold_v a_o mortal_a creature_n presume_v to_o make_v a_o law_n and_o to_o shut_v man_n out_o of_o paradyse_n if_o they_o observe_v it_o not_o be_v not_o that_o a_o notorious_a usurp_n of_o god_n power_n beside_o this_o the_o pope_n have_v his_o bulleâ—_n indulgence_n pardon_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n too_o ground_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n upon_o and_o therewithal_o he_o mingle_v the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n as_o he_o that_o mean_v express_o too_o deface_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v no_o

when_o the_o pope_n forgive_v sin_n he_o be_v dumb_a he_o bring_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o god_n word_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o thing_n but_o charm_n and_o sorcery_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o moreover_o he_o lay_v tyrannous_a law_n upon_o man_n neck_n to_o overthrow_v the_o mean_a which_o our_o lord_n have_v ordain_v again_o he_o abridge_v god_n himself_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o he_o to_o disappoint_v god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o receive_v sinner_n to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v the_o devil_n synagogue_n destitute_a of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o damn_v so_o long_o as_o it_o hold_v itself_o too_o the_o tradition_n of_o antechrist_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o say_v that_o man_n sin_n be_v forgive_v they_o by_o receive_v the_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o same_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o the_o ceremony_n that_o man_n have_v devise_v nor_o with_o the_o law_n which_o they_o have_v invent_v at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o only_o that_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o order_n and_o rule_v which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v establish_v who_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o mean_a whereby_o he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v which_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o with_o assure_a faith_n therefore_o if_o we_o stick_v to_o that_o simplicity_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o commission_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o man_n take_v not_o ne_o usurp_v not_o any_o thing_n upon_o they_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o the_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v pity_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o then_o must_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o come_v from_o above_o and_o none_o but_o god_n only_o must_v

we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v near_o to_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o consume_v so_o long_o as_o god_n pursue_v they_o with_o rigour_n but_o now_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n prevent_v that_o mischief_n by_o send_v the_o say_a message_n of_o the_o release_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o grave_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o perish_v not_o for_o the_o case_n here_o stand_v not_o only_o upon_o temporal_a death_n but_o upon_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o

point_n of_o our_o salvation_n there_o but_o we_o must_v mount_v up_o high_a namely_o that_o he_o choose_v we_o before_o we_o be_v bear_v
do_v he_o bear_v with_o a_o wicked_a man_n when_o he_o be_v see_v too_o be_v altogether_o out_o of_o order_n then_o may_v we_o well_o trouble_v our_o head_n to_o seek_v why_o god_n deal_v after_o that_o manner_n but_o what_o conclusion_n must_v we_o make_v save_v only_o too_o refer_v all_o thing_n to_o himself_o in_o his_o own_o purpose_n know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o rule_v he_o yea_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o high_a for_o we_o for_o when_o it_o please_v god_n too_o humble_v we_o he_o have_v mean_n to_o do_v it_o which_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n sink_v in_o our_o natural_a understanding_n lo_o in_o effect_n what_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o here_o and_o whereas_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o god_n judgement_n whereby_o he_o chastize_v our_o sin_n let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v namely_o that_o the_o rightuous_a man_n that_o be_v shall_v find_v himself_o guilty_a twice_o yea_o a_o hundred_o time_n more_o than_o he_o suffer_v and_o therefore_o that_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v furthermore_o if_o it_o please_v god_n too_o forgive_v we_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o our_o desert_n nor_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v in_o we_o but_o of_o his_o own_o free_a mercy_n and_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v mark_v well_o because_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o to_o come_v natural_o into_o man_n imagination_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o bring_v false_a and_o wicked_a doctrine_n into_o

motion_n in_o they_o when_o the_o papist_n speak_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n they_o always_o imagine_v that_o a_o man_n must_v on_o his_o own_o side_n depose_v himself_o afore_o hand_n and_o purchase_v that_o grace_n before_o god_n and_o that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o of_o full_a worthiness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o must_v be_v a_o certain_a meeting_n together_o that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n see_v any_o good_a disposition_n in_o man_n shall_v help_v he_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o and_o what_o have_v cause_v such_o dotage_n to_o be_v allege_v even_o because_o man_n conceive_v not_o that_o god_n have_v such_o a_o liberty_n as_o be_v give_v he_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o say_v i_o will_v forgive_v forasmuch_o as_o this_o thing_n have_v not_o be_v conceive_v therefore_o the_o papist_n have_v forge_v this_o devilish_a imagination_n that_o god_n forgive_v those_o which_o be_v any_o whit_n dispose_v with_o a_o good_a motion_n and_o purpose_n to_o repent_v and_o that_o although_o they_o have_v not_o do_v so_o many_o good_a deed_n as_o they_o may_v deserve_v to_o be_v accept_v yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n because_o of_o the_o good_a disposition_n that_o he_o find_v in_o they_o but_o contrary_o let_v we_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o namely_o that_o whereas_o all_o man_n be_v alike_o and_o that_o damnation_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n so_o as_o they_o be_v all_o entangle_v in_o it_o god_n pardon_v some_o and_o leave_v the_o residue_n in_o the_o damnation_n wherein_o they_o be_v already_o why_o do_v he_o so_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dispute_v of_o it_o let_v we_o hold_v this_o too_o humble_a ourselves_o withal_o and_o let_v we_o not_o forge_v mean_n in_o our_o own_o head_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n who_o give_v such_o motion_n unto_o a_o man_n to_o mislike_v of_o his_o sin_n but_o only_a god_n who_o have_v already_o touch_v he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o natural_o we_o be_v all_o evil_a and_o when_o we_o have_v commit_v it_o we_o be_v still_o more_o and_o more_o dispose_v unto_o it_o and_o hypocrisy_n blind_v we_o by_o flatter_v we_o in_o the_o same_o therefore_o when_o a_o sinner_n mislike_v of_o his_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o god_n have_v already_o touch_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o cain_n and_o judas_n be_v great_o grieve_v at_o the_o feel_n of_o their_o offence_n but_o that_o be_v not_o for_o the_o mislike_v of_o they_o nay_o rather_o they_o gnash_v their_o tooth_n against_o god_n and_o harden_a themselves_o in_o their_o evil_n therefore_o when_o a_o sinner_n feel_v remorse_n in_o himself_o and_o be_v touch_v to_o humble_v himself_o before_o god_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o pliable_a affection_n to_o mislike_v of_o ourselves_o and_o to_o draw_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o he_o have_v show_v we_o mercy_n and_o sure_o be_v it_o not_o a_o good_a warrant_n of_o his_o mercy_n shall_v we_o then_o say_v that_o a_o man_n have_v deserve_v to_o have_v sin_n forgive_v he_o of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v thereunto_o dispose_v we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o papist_n have_v in_o this_o behalf_n falsify_v and_o disguise_v god_n doctrine_n father_v that_o thing_n upon_o man_n which_o belong_v not_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o better_a ought_v we_o to_o mark_n and_o remember_v this_o say_n that_o when_o man_n have_v cast_v themselves_o into_o destruction_n and_o be_v hold_v in_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o satan_n possess_v they_o none_o but_o god_n have_v authority_n to_o say_v i_o forgive_v and_o who_o forgive_v he_o we_o must_v not_o tie_v his_o grace_n neither_o to_o one_o thing_n nor_o other_o but_o let_v he_o use_v his_o own_o mind_n to_o dispose_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o his_o free_a goodness_n therefore_o when_o he_o forgive_v one_o man_n he_o may_v well_o leave_v another_o in_o damnation_n according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o moses_n and_o allege_v by_o saint_n paul_n as_o a_o record_n of_o great_a importance_n above_o other_o i_o will_v forgive_v who_o i_o will_v forgive_v and_o i_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o who_o i_o will_v show_v mercy_n in_o say_v so_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o inquire_v why_o he_o do_v it_o for_o he_o cut_v away_o all_o such_o question_n who_o then_o do_v god_n pardon_v even_o who_o it_o please_v he_o it_o be_v not_o any_o mortal_a man_n that_o order_v that_o matter_n it_o be_v the_o live_a god_n who_o declare_v that_o when_o he_o show_v mercy_n we_o must_v not_o ask_v why_o he_o do_v it_o nor_o to_o who_o nor_o whether_o one_o man_n be_v better_o dispose_v than_o another_o or_o whether_o therhath_fw-mi be_v any_o desert_n good_a motion_n or_o other_o mean_a aforehand_o no._n for_o god_n will_v have_v man_n to_o content_v themselves_o with_o his_o do_n therefore_o whereas_o he_o show_v mercy_n unto_o some_o and_o not_o unto_o all_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o magnify_v his_o goodness_n and_o if_o he_o show_v any_o appearance_n of_o his_o justice_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v unto_o we_o and_o undoubted_o this_o diversity_n show_v we_o so_o much_o the_o better_a that_o when_o he_o draw_v we_o even_o out_o of_o death_n itself_o he_o do_v it_o not_o but_o of_o his_o own_o free_a mind_n and_o that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n shall_v be_v utter_o forlese_v and_o damn_v if_o we_o be_v not_o succour_v by_o he_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o glorify_v god_n and_o to_o know_v his_o mere_a grace_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o our_o salvation_n be_v ground_v only_o upon_o his_o good_a will_n in_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o forsake_v who_o he_o list_v and_o show_v not_o like_a mercy_n to_o all_o but_o let_v some_o alone_a so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o raise_v to_o salvation_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o he_o add_v that_o he_o will_v no_o more_o destroy_v when_o he_o have_v so_o pardon_v and_o herein_o we_o have_v one_o good_a lesson_n more_o which_o be_v that_o when_o god_n spare_v sinner_n he_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o they_o and_o full_o at_o one_o with_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o sometime_o god_n punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a and_o although_o their_o sin_n be_v tell_v they_o and_o bring_v to_o their_o remembrance_n it_o will_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v escape_v his_o hand_n for_o a_o time_n but_o than_o be_v not_o this_o say_n perform_v that_o god_n will_v not_o destroy_v and_o why_o forthere_o he_o forgive_v not_o but_o nourish_v the_o wicked_a
dear_a for_o the_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o abuse_v his_o patience_n which_o will_v allure_v they_o unto_o goodness_n by_o give_v they_o respite_n to_o amend_v see_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a do_v so_o mock_v at_o god_n horrible_a vengeance_n must_v needs_o fall_v upon_o their_o head_n in_o the_o end_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o great_a day_n furthermore_o if_o god_n spare_v we_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o be_v watchful_a and_o if_o he_o chastise_v we_o and_o beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n let_v we_o always_o consider_v how_o terrible_a his_o wrath_n be_v and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o he_o do_v but_o summon_v we_o and_o why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v prevent_v his_o last_o judgement_n therefore_o let_v we_o always_o think_v upon_o the_o

thereunto_o furthermore_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o remembrance_n that_o god_n be_v oftentimes_o mindful_a of_o mercy_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o examine_v not_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o how_o great_a be_v the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n i_o pray_v you_o if_o every_o man_n will_v examine_v

must_v needs_o have_v many_o wicked_a thought_n consider_v our_o great_a frailty_n and_o how_o satan_n egg_v we_o to_o this_o or_o that_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v already_o

for_o they_o say_v in_o their_o synagoge_n that_o if_o a_o man_n fall_v in_o doubt_n whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no_o or_o whether_o god_n be_v righteous_a or_o no_o or_o if_o he_o

it_o be_v a_o good_a likelihood_n at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o god_n mean_v to_o relieve_v his_o servant_n job_n when_o he_o send_v man_n unto_o he_o that_o pretend_v to_o have_v pity_n upon_o

once_o take_v charge_n of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a doctrine_n that_o the_o righteous_a can_v not_o perish_v nor_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n be_v root_v out_o but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n perish_v and_o afflict_v for_o punishment_n and_o affliction_n serve_v not_o always_o to_o destroy_v man_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v partly_o already_o yet_o may_v the_o affliction_n be_v so_o grievous_a sometime_o as_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v deadly_a what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v conclude_v according_a as_o i_o have_v show_v here_o before_o that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n chalendge_v it_o to_o be_v his_o office_n to_o pull_v man_n out_o of_o their_o grave_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v succour_v by_o he_o when_o we_o have_v endure_v for_o a_o time_n we_o see_v then_o that_o eliphas_n misappli_v his_o matter_n as_o though_o job_n be_v perish_v already_o and_o that_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o utter_o without_o any_o remedy_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n altogether_o disfigure_v irksome_a to_o behold_v and_o a_o spectacle_n that_o may_v show_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o love_v he_o as_o we_o may_v see_v and_o as_o experience_n show_v at_o the_o end_n eliphas_n therefore_o be_v prevent_v with_o a_o dread_n which_o make_v he_o to_o misdeem_v in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o leave_v no_o more_o room_n for_o god_n mercy_n and_o smear_v goodness_n lo_o wherein_o he_o overshoot_v himself_o also_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n in_o such_o miserable_a plight_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o fordo_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o his_o recovery_n let_v we_o learn_v let_v we_o learn_v i_o say_v to_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n and_o to_o hope_v that_o he_o can_v yet_o still_o remedy_v the_o mischief_n that_o seem_v incurable_a true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o man_n expectation_n all_o may_v be_v fordo_v but_o god_n have_v mean_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o whereby_o to_o succour_n his_o servant_n when_o he_o list_v to_o show_v himself_o pitiful_a towards_o they_o let_v we_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o show_v we_o the_o end_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n lest_o we_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v over_o hasty_a and_o rash_a thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v those_o that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v overthrow_v and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o quicken_v they_o again_o although_o they_o be_v already_o dead_a but_o we_o must_v not_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n only_o to_o our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v also_o practice_v it_o each_o one_o of_o we_o in_o himself_o and_o wherefore_o for_o when_o god_n send_v we_o many_o great_a trouble_n and_o by_o and_o by_o we_o conceive_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o job_n we_o need_v no_o eliphas_n to_o vex_v we_o &_o to_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v pass_v recovery_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o that_o have_v not_o the_o seed_n of_o harburning_a in_o himself_o to_o trouble_v &_o to_o martyr_v himself_o in_o his_o affliction_n yea_o even_o to_o drive_v we_o into_o despair_n our_o own_o nature_n afford_v we_o that_o so_o then_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o we_o he_o trouble_v with_o such_o a_o imagination_n at_o this_o how_o now_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v he_o and_o thou_o

to_o look_v upon_o thou_o and_o to_o pity_v thou_o now_o or_o never_o but_o he_o shut_v his_o eye_n and_o make_v as_o though_o he_o see_v thou_o not_o and_o therefore_o thou_o see_v he_o have_v

have_v we_o need_v to_o be_v fence_a against_o such_o a_o conflict_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o when_o any_o man_n mind_n cast_v such_o temptation_n before_o he_o he_o must_v answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o never_o righteous_a man_n yet_o perish_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n can_v not_o be_v root/rot_z out_o but_o what_o be_v this_o perish_v it_o be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v only_o afflict_v and_o wherefore_o for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n raise_v up_o the_o dead_a that_o he_o give_v courage_n to_o such_o as_o be_v utter_o dismay_v and_o that_o he_o recover_v such_o as_o be_v wound_v to_o death_n when_o the_o scripture_n say_v so_o be_v it_o not_o to_o show_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o

must_v god_n work_v in_o we_o there_o be_v many_o other_o sentence_n which_o tend_v unto_o the_o self_n same_o end_n so_o then_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n preserve_v not_o his_o servant_n as_o one_o that_o mean_v to_o make_v they_o cokney_n but_o as_o he_o that_o mind_v to_o take_v they_o out_o of_o their_o grave_n and_o to_o maintain_v they_o after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n to_o the_o

issue_n of_o death_n be_v in_o god_n hand_n behold_v here_o a_o notable_a promisse_fw-la when_o david_n intend_v to_o show_v we_o how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o guide_v we_o he_o say_v that_o the_o

he_o mean_v that_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v throw_v headlong_o into_o death_n at_o every_o blow_n and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o set_v forth_o one_o step_n but_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o undo_v but_o god_n have_v the_o issue_n of_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n say_v he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o these_o sentence_n that_o we_o may_v be_v thorough_o fence_v when_o the_o

of_o his_o purpose_n let_v we_o have_v these_o answer_n ready_a it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o righteous_a perish_v not_o neither_o be_o i_o perish_v but_o thou_o be_v as_o good_a as_o a_o dead_a man_n say_v the_o dieul_n and_o my_o god_n let_v we_o say_v be_v he_o thathath_fw-mi the_o issue_n of_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o david_n mean_v in_o a_o other_o text_n say_v

and_o the_o earth_n must_v first_o be_v till_v even_o so_o the_o wicked_a consult_v aforehand_o upon_o their_o ungraciousness_n treachery_n and_o unlawful_a do_n devise_v guile_n and_o deceit_n and_o

as_o speak_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n even_o to_o gather_v a_o general_a lesson_n thereof_o and_o to_o put_v it_o to_o the_o true_a use_n we_o must_v pray_v god_n to_o grant_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n in_o that_o behalf_n that_o we_o may_v not_o wrest_v the_o scripture_n this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n to_o draw_v it_o to_o a_o contrary_a sense_n as_o wesee_v that_o eliphas_n have_v

all_o seem_v to_o themselves_o to_o be_v jolly_a conqueror_n and_o stand_v in_o their_o own_o conceit_n for_o do_v so_o but_o our_o lord_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o beguile_v themselves_o very_o much_o for_o he_o make_v all_o their_o enterprise_n to_o turn_v to_o their_o own_o confusion_n wherefore_o you_o see_v a_o threaten_a whereby_o god_n purpose_v to_o repress_v the_o over_o boldness_n

the_o scripture_n and_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v mean_v here_o of_o such_o as_o be_v like_o their_o father_n for_o god_n do_v well_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v and_o descend_v of_o evil_a ancestor_n as_o we_o see_v example_n of_o it_o in_o holy_a scripture_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o fall_v out_o most_o common_o that_o the_o issue_n of_o the_o wicked_a sort_n be_v accurse_v according_a also_o as_o god_n avouch_v that_o he_o will_v pursue_v his_o vengeance_n to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n upon_o those_o that_o despise_v he_o and_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o and_o there_o be_v a_o double_a manner_n of_o punish_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o their_o child_n for_o sometime_o god_n show_v mercy_n too_o the_o child_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o cess_v not_o to_o chastise_v the_o unrighteousness_n of_o their_o father_n in_o the_o person_n of_o their_o child_n as_o for_o example_n we_o see_v a_o father_n that_o have_v get_v much_o good_n how_o be_v it_o by_o wicked_a bargain_n by_o subtlety_n by_o craft_n and_o by_o cruelty_n and_o yet_o will_v god_n have_v pity_n upon_o the_o

lord_n mean_v too_o save_o the_o child_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o have_v live_v amiss_o he_o bereave_v he_o of_o all_o his_o evil_n get_v good_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v let_v he_o blood_n to_o save_v his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v wrap_v in_o the_o mischief_n and_o corruption_n which_o his_o father_n have_v draw_v unto_o himself_o behold_v how_o god_n punish_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n and_o yet_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o child_n and_o too_o show_v they_o mercy_n sometime_o he_o pass_v further_o and_o because_o the_o father_n have_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o all_o square_a as_o they_o have_v lead_v a_o stubborn_a froward_a life_n god_n forsake_v their_o offspring_n insomuch_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n dwell_v not_o with_o they_o now_o when_o we_o be_v so_o destitute_a of_o god_n guide_v we_o must_v needs_o run_v into_o destruction_n and_o needs_o must_v the_o mischief_n increase_v more_o and_o more_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o child_n of_o the_o ungodly_a do_v bear_v the_o sin_n of_o their_o father_n it_o be_v not_o only_o for_o that_o god_n forsake_v

reign_v in_o such_o house_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o when_o the_o devil_n have_v lead_v away_o the_o father_n and_o carry_v they_o too_o all_o naughtiness_n their_o child_n shall_v also_o overshoot_v themselves_o into_o excessive_a outrage_n we_o see_v then_o as_o now_o what_o be_v mean_v here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o when_o the_o child_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v once_o

why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o help_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v fall_v down_o at_o the_o gate_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n because_o they_o shall_v fall_v not_o in_o

say_v s._n paul_n speak_v to_o such_o as_o be_v wilful_a in_o their_o naughtiness_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n upon_o such_o as_o return_v unto_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o

that_o god_n punish_v not_o man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o be_v therefore_o acquit_v and_o shall_v never_o be_v call_v to_o account_v

and_o that_o god_n have_v add_v to_o his_o misdo_n the_o word_n add_v be_v not_o take_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o many_o man_n expound_v it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v make_v job_n iniquity_n great_a than_o they_o be_v like_a as_o a_o cruel_a man_n be_v wont_v to_o do_v who_o when_o a_o light_n and_o pardonable_a fault_n be_v commit_v make_v a_o heinous_a and_o unpardonable_a crime_n of_o it_o so_o that_o by_o this_o say_n that_o god_n add_v to_o job_n misdeed_n it_o shall_v be_v mean_v that_o god_n do_v make_v they_o great_a and_o more_o heinous_a than_o they_o be_v in_o

very_a ordinary_a matter_n in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n but_o now_o let_v we_o look_v to_o the_o content_n of_o the_o verse_n job_n borrow_v this_o similitude_n namely_o that_o god_n have_v bind_v up_o his_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v into_o a_o bundle_n and_o lock_v they_o all_o up_o together_o in_o a_o chest_n and_o set_v his_o seal_n to_o it_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o nothing_o shall_v escape_v he_o and_o thereunto_o he_o add_v that_o god_n have_v lay_v a_o good_a weight_n upon_o it_o like_v as_o in_o zacharie_n where_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o god_n shut_v up_o man_n sin_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n lay_v a_o mass_n of_o lead_n upon_o the_o vessel_n wherein_o they_o be_v so_o that_o after_o he_o have_v shut_v they_o up_o in_o the_o vessel_n he_o lay_v a_o mass_n of_o lead_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o get_v out_o so_o then_o job_n continue_v here_o the_o similitude_n that_o he_o have_v set_v down_o say_v that_o god_n have_v seal_v up_o his_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o nothing_o shall_v escape_v he_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o as_o any_o one_o point_n leave_v out_o and_o to_o express_v this_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v add_v a_o good_a counterpoise_v or_o weight_n so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v draw_v away_o but_o all_o his_o misdeed_n must_v abide_v before_o god_n to_o come_v too_o account_v and_o to_o be_v judge_v and_o condemn_v now_o than_o we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o this_o sentence_n and_o very_o job_n have_v some_o occasion_n too_o speak_v
and_o chastize_v we_o do_v we_o show_v that_o we_o can_v bake_v under_o his_o correction_n nay_o we_o will_v rather_o burn_v than_o bake_v that_o be_v too_o say_v god_n shall_v not_o win_v one_o

and_o vengeance_n you_o see_v then_o that_o whereas_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v well_o bake_v we_o do_v rather_o burn_v lo_o why_o he_o use_v such_o violence_n in_o chastise_v we_o now_o let_v we_o go_v &_o complain_v that_o god_n shall_v thunder_v upon_o the_o mountain_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o his_o do_n â–ª_o and_o see_v if_o we_o shall_v mend_v our_o case_n by_o it_o what_o shall_v we_o win_v by_o plead_v so_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o increase_v our_o damnation_n then_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o see_v god_n find_v such_o a_o wilful_a hardheartedness_n in_o we_o he_o must_v needs_o set_v strong_a hand_n to_o we_o and_o not_o use_v his_o favourable_a mean_n for_o that_o will_v do_v no_o good_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o further_o let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o when_o god_n chastize_v we_o if_o he_o strike_v not_o as_o boistous_o upon_o we_o as_o he_o will_v do_v upon_o a_o mountain_n or_o rock_n the_o same_o come_v of_o his_o mercy_n but_o we_o see_v it_o be_v great_o requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v use_v such_o roughness_n for_o we_o can_v not_o say_v but_o he_o regard_v our_o welfare_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v i_o say_v even_o when_o he_o send_v we_o for_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v bring_v we_o even_o unto_o hell_n yet_o do_v he_o give_v we_o wherewith_o to_o comfort_v and_o cheer_v up_o ourselves_o but_o we_o must_v thank_v his_o fatherly_a mercy_n for_o it_o and_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o wonderful_a gracious_a goodness_n that_o god_n use_v towards_o we_o when_o in_o stead_n of_o just_a thunder_a down_o upon_o we_o he_o show_v himself_o so_o gentle_a and_o friendly_o as_o he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o goodness_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o immediate_o job_n add_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o force_n so_o far_o that_o he_o even_o change_v his_o countenance_n and_o frown_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o know_v not_o what_o his_o heir_n shall_v â—ee_n whither_o poor_a or_o rich_fw-fr noble_a or_o unnoble_a job_n â–ª_o go_v on_o with_o his_o complain_v and_o show_v that_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v punish_v man_n all_o their_o life_n long_o â–ª_o their_o end_n also_o shall_v be_v suitable_a thereunto_o and_o when_o they_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o the_o world_n they_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o intelligence_n what_o be_v do_v here_o and_o afterward_o he_o add_v for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o so_o long_o as_o his_o flesh_n be_v upon_o he_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v pain_v and_o his_o soul_n must_v be_v sorrowful_a and_o he_o himself_o must_v mourn_v sure_o this_o complain_v be_v not_o void_a of_o unthankfulness_n for_o job_n ought_v too_o know_v that_o god_n do_v always_o mingle_v his_o favour_n with_o the_o affliction_n that_o he_o send_v we_o so_o as_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o bliss_n he_o but_o he_o consider_v not_o that_o why_o so_o 〈…〉_o because_o he_o be_v overpassionate_a and_o sorrowful_a also_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n what_o we_o have_v say_v afore_o â–ª_o that_o be_v too_o â–ª_o wit_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n scourge_v we_o â–ª_o we_o must_v bethink_v we_o of_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v of_o he_o and_o that_o will_v help_v to_o assuage_v our_o grief_n for_o when_o we_o muse_v upon_o nothing_o but_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o endure_v we_o be_v so_o overraught_v with_o sorrow_n as_o we_o can_v not_o bliss_n god_n nor_o call_v upon_o he_o nor_o settle_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o but_o if_o we_o look_v the_o other_o way_n and_o think_v with_o ourselves_o god_n have_v do_v we_o thus_o many_o good_a turn_n and_o will_v he_o not_o hold_v on_o still_o then_o our_o sorrow_n be_v assuage_v and_o therewithal_o also_o we_o recover_v boldness_n ro_o call_v upon_o god_n hereupon_o we_o conclude_v that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v patient_a and_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o good_a father_n and_o that_o his_o correct_v we_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n be_v because_o he_o tender_v our_o welfare_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v that_o job_n rush_v out_o into_o such_o rage_n be_v because_o he_o look_v no_o further_o but_o to_o his_o own_o misery_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o bethink_v we_o of_o god_n benefit_n when_o he_o afflict_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o our_o sorrow_n may_v be_v assuage_v and_o sweeten_v thereby_o and_o if_o we_o do_v so_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n send_v we_o no_o such_o grief_n neither_o of_o body_n nor_o mind_n but_o there_o be_v always_o matter_n of_o gladness_n with_o it_o and_o how_o for_o although_o we_o be_v subject_n too_o many_o disease_n as_o cold_a heat_n and_o such_o other_o suffering_n yet_o when_o we_o have_v this_o shift_n of_o approach_v unto_o god_n and_o power_n to_o utter_v our_o infirmity_n unto_o he_o be_v it_o not_o a_o recompense_n that_o ought_v well_o to_o assuage_v all_o the_o sorrow_n that_o we_o have_v conceive_v we_o see_v they_o in_o what_o wise_a we_o may_v resist_v such_o manner_n of_o complaint_n which_o be_v full_a of_o unthankfulness_n namely_o by_o think_v upon_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o former_a time_n and_o thereupon_o by_o trust_v that_o he_o will_v continue_v they_o in_o time_n to_o come_v but_o very_o we_o must_v be_v warn_v that_o as_o long_o as_o this_o life_n last_v we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o groan_v and_o when_o our_o flesh_n be_v grieve_v we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o lament_v and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n we_o desire_v not_o to_o live_v here_o at_o our_o ease_n and_o as_o we_o will_v wish_v god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o trouble_v in_o this_o present_a life_n both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o make_v full_a rccken_n of_o it_o but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o even_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o sorrow_n we_o shall_v have_v wherefore_o to_o praise_v god_n as_o s._n paul_n do_v he_o call_v himself_o miserable_a wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o say_v he_o who_o will_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o prison_n of_o my_o body_n but_o by_o and_o by_o he_o yield_v thanks_n to_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o concern_v that_o job_n say_v that_o the_o man_n which_o be_v depart_v know_v not_o what_o be_v do_v here_o by_o low_a nor_o whether_o his_o offspring_n be_v poor_a or_o rich_fw-fr it_o be_v not_o to_o ground_n a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n upon_o that_o such_o as_o be_v go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n know_v not_o what_o our_o state_n be_v for_o job_n speak_v as_o a_o man_n overcomber_v therefore_o we_o must_v not_o take_v here_o any_o certainty_n of_o doctrine_n neither_o be_v it_o great_o for_o we_o to_o inquire_v of_o such_o matter_n and_o why_o let_v it_o suffice_v we_o that_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o this_o world_n to_o communicate_v one_o with_o a_o other_o and_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o employ_v

before_o neither_o must_v we_o do_v as_o the_o papist_n do_v who_o be_v wont_a to_o run_v to_o the_o decease_a saint_n as_o though_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o finish_v their_o course_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o not_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o this_o behalf_n let_v we_o leave_v that_o thing_n in_o doubt_n and_o in_o suspense_n whereof_o we_o have_v no_o

substantial_a profit_n with_o it_o and_o even_o in_o our_o ordinary_a and_o common_a talk_n must_v we_o observe_v the_o same_o rule_n for_o although_o we_o have_v there_o some_o more_o liberty_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n condemn_v the_o vanity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o when_o we_o be_v give_v to_o prattle_v of_o unprofitable_a matter_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o man_n can_v have_v no_o

of_o other_o but_o if_o we_o covet_v to_o be_v count_v skilful_a and_o by_o foolish_a vaingloriousness_n desire_v every_o of_o we_o to_o be_v esteem_v sharpwitted_a and_o to_o be_v think_v well_o see_v in_o the_o scripture_n what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o wind_n and_o puffednesse_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v and_o lo_o what_o the_o divinity_n be_v which_o man_n have_v forge_v and_o frame_v to_o

the_o eastern_a wound_n which_o sear_v thing_n and_o have_v no_o substance_n in_o it_o to_o feed_v and_o nourish_v the_o poor_a soul_n withal_o but_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o general_a distinction_n of_o it_o in_o two_o point_n one_o part_n of_o the_o popish_a divinity_n consist_v in_o question_n and_o quarrel_n that_o bring_v no_o fruit_n and_o first_o of_o all_o they_o trouble_v themselves_o about_o they_o all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n and_o can_v find_v any_o resolution_n of_o they_o and_o why_o for_o their_o mind_n be_v to_o seek_v that_o which_o god_n do_v never_o discloze_v yea_o and_o which_o his_o will_n be_v to_o have_v hide_v still_o from_o we_o now_o we_o know_v that_o when_o he_o have_v not_o speak_v he_o will_v have_v our_o mouth_n keep_v shut_v and_o that_o our_o

to_o desire_v to_o know_v more_o than_o that_o which_o god_n show_v we_o in_o his_o school_n and_o you_o see_v also_o what_o the_o popish_a divine_n be_v which_o move_v question_n of_o those_o thing_n

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

that_o god_n be_v idle_a when_o he_o overpass_v thing_n &_o put_v not_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o punish_v of_o the_o wicked_a and_o why_o for_o he_o have_v his_o convenient_a season_n then_o have_v

they_o gather_v a_o great_a heap_n of_o wrath_n to_o themselves_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o second_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o too_o flatter_v ourselves_o

be_v set_v down_o here_o sound_v none_o evil_a so_o than_o it_o must_v be_v take_v more_o simple_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o wicked_a man_n may_v well_o allege_v as_o many_o excuse_n as_o they_o

afore_o he_o apply_v it_o amiss_o unto_o he_o but_o yet_o it_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v true_a &_o good_a in_o itself_o and_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o pronounce_v here_o in_o general_a that_o the_o wicked_a with_o all_o their_o gay_a word_n shall_v be_v root_v out_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n therefore_o this_o word_n be_v not_o couch_v here_o without_o cause_n for_o we_o see_v

so_o for_o a_o time_n but_o at_o length_n he_o
show_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o genesis_n namely_o that_o his_o spirit_n shall_v not_o strive_v any_o long_o with_o man_n god_n have_v bear_v with_o as_o outrageous_a wickedness_n as_o can_v be_v and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o man_n abuse_v his_o patience_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o say_v i_o will_v no_o long_o plead_v with_o you_o i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o put_v to_o my_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v well_o file_v their_o tongue_n to_o justify_v themselves_o for_o they_o can_v good_a skill_n to_o chop_v logic_n with_o

vengeance_n upon_o their_o head_n so_o then_o man_n may_v be_v arm_v with_o their_o tongue_n to_o plead_v against_o god_n but_o god_n have_v his_o hand_n arm_v and_o will_v stretch_v it_o out_o of_o

again_o for_o we_o have_v enough_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n wherein_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o

he_o avouch_v that_o god_n punish_v notthe_v wicked_a but_o let_v they_o alone_o so_o as_o they_o prosper_v but_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o judgement_n that_o god_n execute_v in_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o record_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n then_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n this_o talk_n of_o job_n seem_v utter_o repugnant_a too_o all_o truth_n but_o we_o must_v remember_v what_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n judgement_n it_o say_v not_o that_o he_o accomplish_v they_o peremptory_o for_o sometime_o he_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o show_v himself_o judge_v of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o be_v not_o in_o all_o point_n and_o all_o caces_fw-la nor_o yet_o after_o all_o one_o rate_n therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n that_o the_o wicked_a can_v escape_v his_o hand_n but_o must_v come_v too_o account_v before_o he_o nevertheless_o god_n do_v sometime_o dissemble_v and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n so_o than_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v by_o his_o providence_n govern_v the_o world_n maintain_v and_o preserve_v the_o good_a and_o punish_v the_o wicked_a as_o we_o make_v it_o no_o general_a rule_n that_o all_o such_o
goodness_n of_o thou_o towards_o we_o thus_o i_o say_v when_o we_o have_v know_v what_o favour_n god_n show_v to_o his_o faithful_a servant_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confirm_v therein_o and_o also_o stir_v up_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_n for_o the_o same_o and_o because_o it_o can_v not_o be_v do_v unless_o we_o behold_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o rejoice_v thereat_o therefore_o also_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o when_o god_n punish_v the_o wicked_a and_o pour_v out_o some_o token_n of_o his_o vengeance_n upon_o they_o it_o be_v do_v to_o assure_v we_o the_o more_o of_o his_o fatherly_a favour_n &_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v to_o we_o ward_n now_o when_o eliphas_n have_v thus_o speak_v he_o exhort_v job_n to_o acquaint_v himself_o with_o god_n and_o too_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o say_v that_o the_o same_o shall_v turn_v to_o his_o prosperity_n and_o after_o that_o he_o add_v that_o be_v shall_v receive_v the_o

from_o he_o and_o in_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o he_o signify_v that_o by_o his_o wicked_a life_n he_o have_v declare_v himself_o as_o a_o enemy_n to_o god_n this_o be_v evil_o apply_v too_o his_o person_n as_o we_o have_v already_o see_v but_o yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o itself_o be_v true_a and_o very_a profitable_a and_o how_o be_v that_o first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v here_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o when_o man_n run_v astry_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o estrange_v themselves_o from_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o be_v give_v over_o to_o our_o

else_o run_v away_o from_o he_o without_o take_v any_o leave_n at_o all_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o man_n have_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o

long_o as_o they_o think_v not_o upon_o their_o vice_n and_o sin_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o second_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o man_n make_v war_n against_o god_n there_o need_v no_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

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

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

unto_o all_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n there_o the_o prophet_n show_v that_o many_o seek_v god_n howbeit_o feign_o by_o reason_n whereof_o we_o be_v convince_v that_o there_o be_v

without_o regard_n of_o he_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o have_v mock_v at_o the_o religion_n and_o at_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v to_o we_o in_o the_o scripture_n concern_v god_n providence_n &_o the_o mercy_n and_o grace_n which_o we_o must_v look_v for_o at_o his_o hand_n therefore_o if_o they_o be_v pinch_v with_o adversity_n they_o cry_v out_o alas_o my_o god_n and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o drive_v they_o thereunto_o even_o their_o mother_n wit._n so_o the_o hypocrite_n and_o despiser_n of_o god_n may_v well_o have_v some_o form_n of_o pray_v not_o only_o to_o

in_o they_o for_o it_o stand_v they_o in_o hand_n to_o have_v faith_n &_o faith_n depend_v upon_o god_n promise_n which_o the_o ungodly_a never_o taste_v of_o again_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o

they_o must_v acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o they_o be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n forlorn_a damn_a &_o destitute_a of_o all_o goodness_n and_o this_o must_v we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v resort_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o his_o goodness_n &_o grace_n now_o can_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a though_o god_n put_v back_o the_o hypocrite_n &_o wicked_a man_n when_o they_o come_v unto_o he_o for_o they_o come_v not_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n nor_o with_o a_o pure_a affection_n but_o they_o will_v fain_o shun_v god_n if_o it_o be_v

of_o all_o that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o and_o of_o all_o that_o pertain_v to_o our_o welfare_n furthermore_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o mercy_n towards_o we_o see_v he_o

hypocrisy_n of_o the_o faithless_a be_v discover_v when_o our_o lord_n handle_v they_o not_o after_o their_o own_o like_n but_o hold_v they_o shut_v up_o in_o some_o distress_n for_o than_o they_o

their_o request_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o hold_v on_o still_o and_o never_o give_v over_o clean_o contrariwise_o if_o god_n grant_v not_o the_o faithless_a their_o request_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o pray_v unto_o he_o if_o he_o pleasure_v they_o not_o by_o and_o by_o if_o he_o perform_v not_o their_o desire_n without_o delay_n they_o think_v they_o have_v lose_v their_o time_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o fashion_n of_o pray_v a_o right_a be_v first_o not_o to_o tarry_v till_o extremity_n compel_v we_o but_o rather_o to_o be_v do_v aforehand_o as_o need_n be_v that_o we_o

meene_z even_o although_o the_o sin_n come_v not_o to_o actual_a do_v when_o s._n james_n speak_v of_o sin_n he_o use_v the_o similitude_n of_o childebearing_n for_o he_o say_v that_o lust_n

be_v three_o degree_n of_o faultiness_n in_o a_o sin_n although_o it_o come_v not_o to_o the_o outward_a deed_n the_o first_o be_v a_o fleet_a imagination_n or_o thought_n which_o a_o man_n conceive_v by_o the_o behold_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o thereupon_o some_o one_o toy_n or_o other_o will_v come_v in_o his_o head_n or_o else_o although_o he_o see_v nothing_o yet_o notwithstanding_o his_o mind_n be_v so_o tickle_a unto_o evil_n as_o it_o carry_v he_o here_o and_o there_o and_o make_v many_o fancy_n to_o run_v in_o his_o head_n and_o out_o of_o doubt_v the_o same_o be_v a_o faultiness_n but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o impute_a unto_o we_o for_o sin_n the_o second_o degree_n be_v that_o upon_o the_o conceive_n of_o such_o a_o fancy_n we_o be_v somewhat_o tickle_v and_o feel_v that_o our_o will_n sway_v that_o way_n and_o although_o there_o be_v no_o consent_n or_o agree_a unto_o it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v some_o inward_a prick_n to_o provoke_v we_o unto_o it_o now_o that_o be_v a_o wicked_a sin_n and_o as_o it_o be_v already_o conceive_v afterward_o follow_v consent_n when_o we_o settle_v our_o will_n upon_o it_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o we_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o evil_a but_o the_o want_n of_o occasion_n and_o opportunity_n there_o you_o see_v the_o third_o degree_n and_o then_o be_v the_o sin_n full_o shape_v in_o we_o although_o there_o be_v no_o outward_a deed_n at_o all_o and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v a_o hard_a matter_n yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o woman_n but_o he_o find_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o and_o have_v experience_n of_o it_o from_o day_n to_o day_n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o be_v afflict_v it_o will_v come_v in_o our_o imagination_n to_o think_v do_v god_n mind_v we_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o can_v hold_v himself_o from_o such_o conceit_n for_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o corrupt_a and_o incline_v unto_o evil_n as_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v such_o conceit_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v already_o a_o fault_n when_o such_o a_o thing_n do_v but_o come_v in_o their_o mind_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o chase_v it_o away_o and_o think_v
bosom_n that_o be_v too_o say_v not_o too_o hide_v it_o but_o to_o lay_v it_o open_a true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o a_o man_n know_v his_o sin_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o shall_v become_v desperate_a as_o it_o happen_v both_o to_o cain_n and_o judas_n nevertheless_o we_o can_v come_v to_o repentance_n nor_o desire_v forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n nor_o final_o be_v deliver_v of_o our_o offence_n until_o they_o be_v lay_v open_a and_o all_o hypocrisy_n be_v set_v aside_o furthermore_o he_o that_o be_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o sin_n &_o be_v at_o defiance_n with_o it_o in_o himself_o will_v desire_v no_o more_o to_o hide_v himself_o to_o the_o worldward_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o we_o have_v always_o untruth_n in_o our_o mouth_n to_o justify_v ourselves_o withal_o there_o will_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o we_o for_o repentance_n bring_v true_a humility_n therefore_o as_o for_o he_o that_o be_v convict_v before_o god_n to_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o willing_o acknowledge_v his_o fault_n with_o out_o shrink_v back_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o be_v also_o ready_a to_o condemn_v his_o offence_n before_o man_n and_o to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o but_o let_v we_o now_o see_v if_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o job_n time_n be_v not_o increase_v now_o adays_o in_o so_o much_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o rife_a than_o hypocrisy_n true_o we_o see_v by_o this_o text_n that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o man_n to_o seek_v to_o disguise_v themselves_o and_o too_o take_v covert_a when_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o it_o have_v be_v so_o at_o all_o time_n and_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o begin_v at_o adam_n &_o have_v continue_v unto_o this_o day_n howbeit_o we_o see_v such_o shamelessness_n in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o present_a that_o those_o day_n be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o these_o we_o see_v now_o for_o if_o one_o go_v about_o to_o warn_v a_o man_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o shall_v find_v a_o brazen_a face_n to_o deny_v it_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v altogether_o manifest_a the_o party_n shall_v know_v well_o enough_o that_o his_o evil_n do_v be_v know_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o speak_v of_o but_o will_v stop_v every_o man_n mouth_n with_o his_o outface_v of_o it_o yea_o and_o many_o time_n he_o content_v not_o himself_o with_o such_o shameful_a denial_n but_o also_o fall_v too_o quarrel_v and_o threaten_v of_o they_o that_o speak_v of_o it_o then_o if_o man_n do_v hide_v their_o fault_n in_o job_n time_n they_o do_v it_o much_o more_o in_o these_o day_n â–ª_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a defence_n neither_o shall_v it_o be_v receive_v before_o god_n according_a as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o text_n although_o all_o man_n be_v hard-hearted_a and_o wilful_a so_o as_o no_o man_n will_v come_v to_o reason_n but_o when_o folk_n labour_n to_o draw_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n they_o kick_v against_o they_o like_o resty_a jade_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o job_n example_n be_v set_v forth_o for_o our_o learning_n and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o follow_v the_o common_a trade_n nor_o say_v every_o man_n do_v so_o it_o be_v the_o common_a custom_n no_o but_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o god_n who_o draw_v we_o the_o contrary_a way_n will_v man_n justify_v i_o and_o god_n will_v have_v every_o of_o we_o to_o condemn_v himself_o â–ª_o do_v man_n conceal_v their_o fault_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v unknown_a god_n will_v have_v we_o discover_v they_o yea_o even_o with_o all_o lowliness_n then_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o come_v to_o that_o point_n and_o not_o to_o say_v i_o see_v all_o man_n do_v so_o and_o it_o be_v every_o man_n custom_n what_o though_o man_n do_v so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o job_n but_o they_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v man_n do_v the_o like_a now_o adays_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o noman_n confess_v his_o fault_n yet_o nevertheless_o let_v the_o faithful_a learn_fw-mi to_o frame_v themselves_o to_o that_o which_o be_v show_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o only_o to_o mourn_v before_o god_n but_o also_o to_o show_v before_o man_n that_o they_o be_v sorry_a in_o their_o heart_n and_o condemn_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v become_v their_o own_o judge_n and_o obtain_v mercy_n of_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n by_o return_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o hypocrisy_n be_v condemn_v by_o this_o text_n the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v to_o abstain_v utter_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o it_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v so_o frail_a as_o we_o can_v live_v in_o this_o world_n without_o take_v many_o fall_n the_o remedy_n be_v to_o stoop_v and_o mourn_v before_o god_n and_o moreover_o not_o to_o go_v about_o too_o save_v our_o honesty_n in_o such_o wise_a afore_o man_n as_o we_o shall_v not_o yield_v ourselves_o guilty_a as_o often_o as_o need_v shall_v require_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n command_v not_o a_o man_n too_o proclaim_v it_o in_o the_o street_n when_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o say_v i_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o fault_n for_o that_o be_v rather_o to_o cast_v a_o stumble_a block_n but_o yet_o it_o stand_v we_o upon_o to_o mark_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n namely_o first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o must_v be_v lowly_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v infect_v with_o many_o vice_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o a_o man_n despise_v all_o other_o man_n and_o can_v bear_v nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n but_o thunder_v at_o they_o when_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o i_o say_v but_o this_o hypocrisy_n for_o if_o we_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n sure_o they_o will_v as_o it_o be_v bridle_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o condemn_v other_o folk_n at_o adventure_n but_o begin_v at_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v and_o which_o be_v command_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o then_o be_v we_o mild_a and_o gentle_a in_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o confess_v our_o own_o sin_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v offend_v any_o man_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o reason_n for_o we_o see_v that_o otherwise_o we_o have_v no_o access_n unto_o god_n according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v we_o that_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n shall_v not_o be_v accept_v unless_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o our_o neighbour_n when_o we_o have_v offend_v they_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o be_v sorry_a in_o their_o behalf_n if_o we_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o three_o when_o we_o have_v give_v any_o cause_n of_o stumble_v let_v we_o come_v humble_o to_o amend_v it_o yea_o and_o so_o to_o amend_v it_o as_o the_o evil_a may_v not_o be_v bear_v withal_o nor_o we_o kick_v against_o the_o spur_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o confession_n which_o the_o scripture_n require_v of_o we_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o all_o this_o come_v and_o proceed_v of_o the_o say_v right_o mean_v which_o we_o have_v in_o sorow_v before_o god_n for_o until_o we_o be_v full_o sorry_a at_o the_o heart_n that_o we_o have_v offend_v we_o shall_v never_o make_v a_o pure_a and_o right_a confession_n before_o man_n for_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v it_o shall_v be_v but_o feynednesse_n and_o so_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o which_o shall_v have_v confess_v themselves_o before_o god_n to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v will_v also_o have_v the_o modesty_n of_o not_o justify_v themselves_o afore_o man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mockery_n when_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v oh_o i_o i_o know_v myself_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o shall_v be_v so_o wilful_a towards_o man_n as_o no_o reason_n nor_o truth_n can_v be_v wring_v from_o he_o such_o a_o one_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v bewitch_v he_o and_o that_o he_o hide_v his_o fault_n and_o lay_v they_o up_o in_o his_o bosom_n as_o much_o as_o he_o possible_o can_v wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n of_o feel_v our_o sin_n and_o of_o be_v ashamed_a too_o have_v transgress_v god_n law_n and_o too_o have_v do_v against_o his_o righteousness_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o pride_n to_o hinder_v we_o from_o make_v a_o pure_a confession_n and_o such_o as_o we_o ought_v too_o make_v before_o he_o furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o to_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v
i_o but_o behold_v god_n come_v to_o buffet_v i_o after_o a_o other_o sort_n he_o suffer_v i_o not_o to_o have_v some_o good_a friend_n to_o counsel_v i_o or_o some_o man_n of_o good_a countenance_n too_o warn_v i_o for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o my_o honesty_n but_o he_o send_v i_o a_o outcast_n see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o i_o i_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n lo_o how_o we_o be_v by_o all_o mean_v bring_v to_o this_o reasonableness_n of_o fear_v the_o mean_a and_o most_o despise_a sort_n moreover_o when_o job_n say_v that_o he_o go_v not_o out_o of_o door_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o use_v any_o back_o shrink_n but_o that_o he_o refrain_v himself_o willing_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v condemn_v without_o gainsay_v and_o hide_v himself_o as_o a_o man_n convict_v this_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o note_v true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v sometime_o hide_v himself_o and_o yet_o not_o cease_v to_o chew_v upon_o the_o bit_n and_o to_o seek_v revengement_n against_o such_o as_o have_v defame_v he_o but_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n go_v not_o out_o of_o his_o door_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v not_o hear_v his_o reproach_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n practice_v to_o be_v revenge_v of_o his_o enemy_n and_o of_o such_o

key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v commit_v to_o those_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o what_o end_n to_o forgive_v sin_n not_o of_o their_o own_o authority_n but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n may_v be_v the_o better_o assure_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o god_n receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n therefore_o the_o minister_n tell_v they_o in_o his_o name_n that_o they_o be_v quit_v before_o his_o judgement_n seat_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n of_o a_o man_n when_o he_o send_v he_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n and_o give_v his_o appoint_a minister_n the_o say_a charge_n and_o office_n of_o rescue_v and_o deliver_v the_o wretched_a creature_n that_o be_v in_o way_n of_o damnation_n how_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v here_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o eliu_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o perish_v that_o be_v one_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o draw_v wretched_a soul_n out_o of_o death_n and_o to_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n and_o the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o express_a commission_n give_v of_o god_n according_a also_o as_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o so_o high_a a_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o our_o ability_n then_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n we_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v we_o here_o to_o the_o wellspring_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o obtain_v of_o god_n when_o he_o forgive_v we_o oursinne_n why_o be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v able_a too_o be_v beforehand_o with_o he_o not_o for_o that_o we_o bring_v any_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o procure_v his_o favour_n towards_o we_o but_o because_o he_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o mercy_n to_o be_v short_a the_o holy_a ghost_n father_v the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n upon_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n for_o we_o be_v so_o wretched_a as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o we_o behold_v it_o please_v god_n to_o succour_v we_o and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o find_v in_o we_o save_v only_o infinite_a misery_n but_o of_o his_o own_o goodness_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o this_o then_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o may_v not_o imagine_v to_o appease_v he_o with_o our_o own_o merit_n nor_o to_o be_v particauser_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n will_v have_v pity_n of_o we_o he_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o so_o eliu_n mean_v to_o advertise_v we_o that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v that_o goodness_n but_o that_o although_o he_o love_v we_o and_o be_v mind_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o always_o give_v we_o that_o feel_n but_o hide_v it_o utter_o from_o we_o as_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o turn_v his_o back_n to_o we_o or_o else_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o look_v upon_o we_o or_o else_o that_o his_o countenance_n be_v lour_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v it_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v now_o and_o then_o be_v dismay_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o find_v he_o not_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v they_o or_o reject_v they_o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o as_o then_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o eliu_n say_v express_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o witness_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o word_n not_o that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o before_o but_o because_o we_o be_v then_o sure_a of_o it_o by_o experience_n and_o do_v as_o it_o be_v take_v possession_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o for_o a_o time_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o office_n of_o such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a point_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o forlese_v and_o past_a recovery_n there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a to_o give_v we_o hope_v of_o salvation_n than_o by_o assure_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v afore_o god_n and_o we_o quite_o and_o clean_o discharge_v for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v impute_v unto_o we_o god_n must_v needs_o

have_v good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o for_o the_o end_n whereat_o god_n am_z be_v atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n with_o we_o according_a as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v where_o he_o express_v that_o the_o property_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v a_o message_n of_o atonement_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n who_o know_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n do_v put_v himself_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o that_o be_v too_o say_v after_o we_o be_v wash_v in_o his_o blood_n and_o have_v put_v ourselves_o under_o the_o
joy_n and_o he_o will_v render_v or_o return_n a_o man_n his_o righteousness_n 27_o 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 profit_v i_o 29_o he_o have_v redeem_v my_o soul_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v not_o go_v down_o into_o the_o grave_n and_o my_o life_n to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v see_v light_a according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v declare_v yesterday_o here_o eliu_n show_v we_o that_o when_o man_n be_v reconcily_v unto_o god_n they_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o quiet_a and_o steadfast_a conscience_n and_o it_o be_v the_o true_a fruit_n of_o faith_n to_o have_v such_o a_o quietness_n as_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o god_n love_v we_o and_o flee_v to_o he_o for_o refuge_n for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v in_o curse_a case_n and_o undoubted_o although_o we_o have_v all_o the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v sure_a to_o enjoy_v they_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n except_o god_n maintain_v we_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o they_o moreover_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n may_v continue_v in_o ease_n and_o pleasure_v all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o life_n yet_o shall_v all_o god_n benefit_n turn_v too_o his_o destruction_n and_o damnation_n unless_o he_o use_v they_o pure_o and_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o say_v fatherly_a love_n of_o god_n we_o see_v then_o that_o if_o we_o can_v call_v upon_o god_n with_o such_o certainty_n that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o and_o accept_v our_o prayer_n it_o be_v pity_n of_o our_o life_n somuch_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o the_o order_n that_o be_v show_v here_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v that_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v certify_v we_o of_o his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o we_o know_v that_o therein_o he_o will_v be_v favourable_a too_o we_o and_o pardon_v our_o sin_n may_v seek_v unto_o he_o and_o bold_o present_v ourselves_o before_o he_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v add_v in_o the_o text_n that_o god_n will_v show_v he_o his_o face_n and_o that_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v return_v unto_o he_o by_o that_o mean_a or_o else_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o face_n of_o god._n but_o we_o must_v not_o great_o stand_v upon_o the_o word_n see_v that_o the_o mean_a be_v evident_a therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v accuse_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n they_o can_v think_v upon_o god_n but_o with_o all_o terror_n so_o as_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n never_o to_o perceive_v any_o thing_n of_o he_o nor_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v speak_v to_o they_o of_o he_o nor_o that_o they_o may_v have_v any_o inkling_n of_o he_o and_o out_o of_o doubt_n we_o see_v that_o so_o long_o be_v sinner_n be_v asleep_a in_o their_o evil_n they_o desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o forget_v god_n and_o if_o any_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o he_o it_o be_v a_o intolerable_a torment_n too_o they_o as_o if_o a_o offender_n be_v bring_v before_o his_o judge_n you_o see_v that_o as_o long_o as_o wretched_a creature_n be_v bury_v in_o their_o sin_n they_o can_v think_v upon_o god_n but_o to_o their_o great_a grief_n but_o when_o we_o have_v assurance_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n then_o we_o come_v bold_o to_o god_n we_o be_v glad_a to_o think_v upon_o he_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o hear_v of_o he_o yea_o and_o it_o rejoice_v we_o too_o behold_v his_o face_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o saint_n paul_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o we_o find_v peace_n to_o godward_o when_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n also_o by_o that_o say_n he_o mean_v that_o the_o wicked_a have_v no_o rest_n but_o when_o they_o be_v fall_v asleep_a or_o rather_o dull_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o think_v not_o upon_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o heathnishe_a sort_n and_o such_o as_o seek_v too_o feed_v themselves_o in_o their_o vice_n do_v labour_n too_o forget_v god_n and_o settle_v themselves_o thereupon_o but_o when_o god_n bring_v they_o to_o their_o remembrance_n than_o they_o wake_v yea_o even_o too_o their_o sorrow_n contrariwise_o if_o we_o be_v certify_v that_o god_n receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n whereof_o faith_n be_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a warrant_n we_o good_a bold_o unto_o he_o and_o have_v peace_n with_o he_o and_o the_o near_a that_o we_o come_v to_o his_o majesty_n the_o more_o trust_n have_v we_o of_o our_o salvation_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o too_o

no_o cause_n too_o punish_v he_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o see_v that_o god_n preserve_v the_o world_n &_o every_o of_o we_o be_v keep_v still_o in_o that_o array_n and_o so_o be_v we_o all_o debtor_n to_o his_o mercy_n so_o far_o be_v he_o off_o from_o use_v any_o great_a rigour_n towards_o we_o that_o we_o ought_v rather_o to_o wonder_v at_o his_o patience_n how_o he_o can_v suffer_v such_o iniquity_n and_o not_o thunder_v down_o his_o vengeance_n at_o the_o first_o brunt_n and_o make_v clear_a riddance_n of_o we_o see_v it_o be_v so_o ought_v any_o man_n to_o murmur_v

learn_v hereby_o to_o glorify_v god_n continual_o in_o his_o mercy_n no_o less_o than_o in_o his_o power_n for_o although_o he_o be_v almighty_a yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o restrain_v himself_o because_o he_o love_v we_o also_o we_o have_v one_o other_o very_a necessary_a exhortation_n too_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n which_o be_v that_o know_v our_o own_o frailty_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o put_v our_o life_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o think_v to_o live_v or_o continue_v our_o state_n by_o our_o own_o power_n but_o suffer_v god_n to_o govern_v we_o as_o it_o please_v he_o and_o be_v always_o ready_a too_o depart_v hence_o when_o he_o think_v it_o good_a too_o take_v we_o out_o of_o this_o world_n furthermore_o what_o be_v the_o mean_a to_o live_v well_o it_o be_v to_o know_v that_o insomuch_o as_o god_n possess_v we_o and_o quicken_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v hold_v all_o of_o he_o too_o the_o end_n to_o be_v give_v whole_o too_o his_o service_n both_o in_o live_v and_o die_v be_v this_o doctrine_n wellprint_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v such_o dullard_n as_o we_o be_v for_o as_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n when_o they_o rise_v in_o the_o morning_n do_v they_o bethink_v they_o too_o put_v themselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o if_o they_o do_v it_o for_o fashion_n

hand_n acknowledge_v they_o that_o no_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o remember_v the_o lesson_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o namely_o that_o our_o life_n be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o a_o vanity_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v maintain_v we_o according_a too_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o also_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n in_o time_n convenient_a but_o as_o we_o be_v counsel_v here_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o to_o challenge_v nothing_o to_o ourselves_o of_o our_o own_o power_n so_o contrariwise_o we_o have_v whereon_o too_o rest_n ourselves_o in_o that_o we_o know_v our_o life_n be_v not_o in_o every_o man_n hand_n but_o in_o the_o only_a hand_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o it_o and_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o that_o if_o he_o withdraw_v his_o spirit_n and_o breath_n we_o die_v all_o so_o long_o then_o as_o god_n will_v preserve_v we_o let_v we_o bold_o defy_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o our_o enemy_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o look_v but_o upon_o the_o rage_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v as_o raven_a wolf_n and_o we_o as_o silly_a sheep_n they_o gape_v with_o open_a throat_n to_o swallow_v we_o up_o but_o yet_o can_v they_o do_v nothing_o to_o we_o till_o god_n give_v they_o leave_v and_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o challenge_v and_o reserve_v too_o himself_o the_o power_n of_o withdraw_v the_o breath_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v content_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n hold_v our_o life_n in_o his_o custody_n and_o protection_n until_o he_o listen_v to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o have_v cause_v we_o to_o finish_v our_o course_n now_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v here_o whether_o our_o soul_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o wind_n see_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o shall_v perish_v when_o god_n withdraw_v his_o breath_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o man_n be_v immortal_a yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v not_o that_o of_o themselves_o but_o of_o god_n free_a goodness_n beside_o this_o what_o else_o be_v death_n but_o a_o depart_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n asunder_o god_n then_o withdraw_v his_o breath_n to_o himself_o when_o he_o send_v we_o into_o dust_n and_o rottenness_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o fail_v not_o to_o take_v up_o our_o soul_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o till_o the_o latter_a day_n to_o be_v short_a eliu_fw-mi ment_fw-mi to_o show_v here_o not_o only_o that_o we_o be_v weak_a and_o transitory_a but_o also_o that_o all_o our_o strength_n be_v nothing_o furtherforth_o than_o it_o be_v uphold_n by_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o when_o he_o undo_v we_o too_o outward_a appearance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o effect_n
upon_o their_o head_n so_o then_o let_v the_o faithful_a understand_v that_o when_o god_n list_v to_o punish_v they_o he_o need_v not_o to_o begin_v at_o one_o point_n and_o afterward_o too_o delay_v ere_o he_o can_v go_v forward_o with_o his_o work_n as_o mortal_a man_n do_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o let_n which_o they_o have_v and_o why_o he_o will_v condemn_v and_o execute_v his_o sentence_n all_o at_o once_o he_o need_v not_o to_o trouble_v himself_o with_o make_v long_a process_n for_o we_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o leisure_n to_o breathe_v upon_o the_o matter_n neither_o shall_v we_o pine_v in_o distress_n till_o we_o may_v be_v quite_o dispatch_v at_o his_o hand_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v quick_o as_o if_o heaven_n fall_v down_o upon_o our_o head_n then_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o god_n horrible_a vengeance_n let_v we_o feel_v our_o own_o fault_n furthermore_o when_o we_o feel_v they_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o he_o at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o seek_v not_o to_o hide_v they_o but_o lay_v they_o open_v before_o our_o god_n and_o sorrowful_o condemn_v they_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o quit_v those_o that_o condemn_v themselves_o and_o bury_v their_o sin_n which_o have_v they_o before_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o willing_o confess_v they_o unto_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n will_v wipe_v out_o all_o our_o fault_n if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o confess_v they_o free_o yea_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o pass_v this_o way_n also_o namely_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n this_o say_n that_o god_n punish_v without_o inquisition_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o do_v his_o duty_n in_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o in_o examine_v his_o life_n thorough_o that_o we_o may_v be_v ashamed_a and_o humble_a our_o self_n and_o now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v so_o break_v the_o great_a and_o mighty_a man_n do_v put_v other_o in_o their_o place_n and_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o punish_v they_o in_o open_a sight_n yea_o and_o that_o he_o punish_v they_o as_o offender_n i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n discover_v their_o work_n and_o punish_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v always_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o not_o imagine_v that_o he_o use_v any_o tyranny_n or_o cruelty_n therefore_o let_v we_o keep_v we_o from_o surmise_v any_o such_o power_n in_o god_n as_o shall_v be_v utter_v without_o reason_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o hold_v be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o and_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o his_o only_a &_o single_a will_n as_o with_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o right_n and_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v let_v we_o not_o wicked_o imagine_v that_o god_n deal_v cross_o and_o over_o thwart_o or_o that_o he_o judge_v otherwise_o than_o with_o reason_n but_o contrariwise_o let_v we_o full_o believe_v that_o although_o his_o judgement_n seem_v strange_a unto_o we_o yet_o be_v they_o order_v by_o the_o best_a rule_n that_o can_v be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o his_o will_n which_o surmount_v all_o righteousness_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o eliu_n declare_v in_o this_o text_n and_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o serve_v chief_o for_o we_o then_o if_o any_o man_n be_v afflict_v in_o his_o own_o person_n he_o ought_v always_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o fault_n for_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v true_a repentance_n except_o we_o know_v that_o god_n afflict_v we_o just_o neither_o can_v we_o glorify_v god_n and_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a except_o we_o have_v first_o condemn_v ourselves_o as_o i_o have_v say_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v apply_v to_o ourselves_o this_o doctrine_n that_o god_n discover_v man_n work_n and_o bring_v they_o too_o light_v when_o he_o punish_v they_o very_o although_o we_o examine_v not_o word_n for_o word_n the_o sin_n and_o offence_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o chastisement_n which_o god_n send_v we_o aught_o to_o profit_v we_o in_o that_o behalf_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n punish_v they_o instead_o of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v too_o say_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o wicked_a to_o signify_v that_o they_o can_v win_v nothing_o by_o their_o reply_n nor_o allege_v any_o thing_n to_o clear_v themselves_o special_o see_v they_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v clear_a before_o man_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o another_o be_v that_o he_o say_v that_o he_o put_v other_o in_o their_o place_n and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o change_n which_o happen_v oftentimes_o in_o this_o world_n according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o seven_o psalm_n which_o be_v a_o right_a exposition_n of_o this_o sentence_n we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v distraught_a when_o we_o see_v a_o plague_n to_o unpeople_v a_o country_n or_o if_o there_o happen_v a_o famine_n or_o if_o the_o land_n that_o have_v be_v very_o fruteful_a become_v barren_a as_o if_o salt_n have_v be_v sow_v upon_o it_o or_o else_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v so_o trouble_v with_o war_n as_o a_o country_n be_v lay_v waste_n or_o the_o prince_n thereof_o be_v change_v when_o we_o see_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n we_o be_v astonish_v and_o why_o for_o we_o know_v not_o god_n providence_n which_o reign_v above_o all_o worldly_a mean_n neither_o do_v we_o think_v upon_o man_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v after_o what_o sort_n man_n behave_v themselves_o we_o will_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n shall_v make_v such_o change_n and_o alteration_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o god_n put_v other_o in_o their_o place_n namely_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o see_v thing_n change_v in_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o any_o novelty_n and_o why_o for_o therein_o god_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n let_v we_o not_o father_n they_o upon_o fortune_n but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n do_v there_o utter_v his_o arm_n because_o man_n can_v not_o maintain_v themselves_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o and_o thereupon_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o our_o unthankfulness_n be_v that_o we_o may_v amend_v it_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o our_o lord_n have_v make_v we_o fat_a and_o set_v we_o up_o in_o any_o wealth_n by-and-by_o we_o turn_v ourselves_o too_o kick_v against_o he_o like_o horse_n that_o be_v too_o much_o pamper_v and_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n that_o god_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o we_o see_v we_o be_v so_o proud_a and_o unthankful_a let_v we_o mark_v what_o the_o modesty_n of_o man_n be_v now_o adays_o when_o god_n do_v they_o any_o good_a do_v they_o so_o behave_v then selue_o as_o they_o may_v possess_v it_o long_o no_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o spite_n god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v bereave_v they_o of_o it_o by_o and_o by_o see_v then_o that_o the_o pride_n and_o unthankfulness_n be_v so_o heydous_a as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o must_v not_o grudge_v at_o the_o change_n of_o thing_n nor_o at_o the_o great_a number_n of_o alteration_n and_o why_o for_o we_o provoke_v god_n unto_o it_o howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o know_v that_o god_n take_v away_o one_o people_n and_o put_v another_o in_o their_o place_n and_o set_v new_a inhabiter_n in_o a_o country_n and_o remove_v man_n after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o i_o say_v to_o know_v these_o thing_n yea_o and_o that_o he_o do_v they_o just_o but_o also_o even_o when_o we_o be_v in_o our_o best_a state_n let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o grant_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o enjoy_v his_o benefit_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v still_o possess_v they_o and_o be_v guide_v by_o they_o to_o the_o everlasting_a heritage_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o put_v this_o sentence_n in_o ure_n and_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n it_o shall_v be_v reserve_v till_o tomorrow_o 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 to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n &_o therewithal_o after_o he_o have_v humble_v we_o under_o his_o mighty_a hand_n and_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o just_a correction_n to_o our_o amendment_n to_o endue_v we_o with_o the_o
as_o man_n fat_a ox_n and_o swine_n to_o the_o end_n to_o kill_v they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o a_o ox_n have_v be_v lean_a all_o his_o life_n long_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o kill_v he_o he_o will_v bestow_v the_o more_o cost_n upon_o he_o and_o likewise_o will_v he_o do_v with_o a_o swine_n to_o make_v he_o well_o lard_v now_o the_o prophet_n use_v this_o similitude_n too_o show_v we_o that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o reprobate_n and_o despiser_n of_o god_n be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o punish_v out_o of_o hand_n according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v both_o in_o leremie_n and_o ezechiell_n that_o such_o as_o be_v reserve_v make_v never_o the_o better_a market_n for_o their_o long_a tarriance_n but_o as_o they_o be_v worse_o before_o god_n and_o have_v pyle_v up_o a_o great_a heap_n of_o cursedness_n upon_o their_o head_n so_o also_o must_v god_n pour_v out_o the_o great_a rigour_n upon_o they_o and_o so_o although_o our_o lord_n punish_v they_o not_o the_o first_o day_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o hold_v they_o there_o still_o under_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o therefore_o this_o text_n belong_v not_o unto_o they_o but_o when_o

shall_v continue_v still_o with_o we_o and_o his_o benefit_n shall_v turn_v to_o our_o bane_n then_o if_o we_o use_v god_n gift_n unto_o his_o displeasure_n all_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o must_v turn_v too_o our_o great_a condemnation_n like_v as_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n when_o we_o be_v reconcylend_v unto_o god_n and_o he_o have_v pardon_v our_o offence_n although_o he_o chastise_v we_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v a_o medicine_n too_o we_o and_o all_o our_o affliction_n shall_v be_v bless_v before_o he_o in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o shall_v turn_v to_o our_o

under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v pardon_v our_o sin_n and_o hereupon_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o misery_n and_o adversity_n only_o but_o special_o of_o god_n wrath_n which_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o provoke_v and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v amiss_o let_v we_o not_o begin_v at_o the_o outward_a affliction_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o our_o return_v unto_o god_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v no_o more_o afflict_v we_o but_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v so_o gracious_a as_o too_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v nothing_o in_o we_o that_o may_v kindle_v he_o against_o we_o or_o displease_v he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o chastisement_n and_o correction_n which_o god_n send_v we_o be_v as_o stroke_n of_o a_o spur_n too_o prick_v we_o forward_o and_o when_o he_o see_v we_o dull_a he_o drive_v we_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o repentance_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o be_v at_o this_o point_n to_o say_v well_o i_o be_o content_a so_o god_n withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o i_o no_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o for_o we_o shall_v have_v gain_v very_o little_a if_o we_o get_v nothing_o but_o that_o what_o then_o let_v we_o go_v unto_o our_o god_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o to_o do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o that_o when_o we_o have_v be_v gentle_o chastise_v we_o may_v know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n double_v his_o stripe_n and_o strike_v much_o more_o rough_o upon_o we_o why_o so_o if_o a_o man_n be_v chastise_v he_o feel_v that_o god_n visit_v he_o and_o perceive_v all_o thing_n to_o go_v better_o with_o he_o so_o then_o a_o man_n humble_v himself_o when_o he_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v and_o that_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o his_o adversity_n at_o the_o first_o brunt_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n the_o poor_a soul_n have_v no_o wit_n to_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o to_o search_v his_o own_o fault_n and_o to_o attain_v to_o so_o much_o reason_n as_o to_o say_v alas_o i_o must_v seek_v to_o recover_v the_o favour_n of_o my_o god_n he_o think_v it_o enough_o if_o he_o be_v no_o more_o press_v like_o a_o dog_n that_o do_v but_o shake_v his_o ear_n when_o he_o have_v escape_v with_o a_o blow_n of_o a_o cudgel_n such_o a_o one_o go_v not_o so_o far_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o rest_v at_o the_o outward_a part_n and_o therefore_o god_n follow_v with_o strike_v he_o still_o so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o light_o man_n dispatch_v themselves_o when_o god_n chastize_v they_o too_o make_v they_o come_v to_o repentance_n for_o they_o may_v well_o have_v some_o conceit_n of_o it_o but_o the_o same_o pass_v away_o out_o of_o hand_n now_o sith_o that_o god_n see_v that_o although_o a_o man_n perceive_v not_o his_o own_o harm_n yet_o the_o filthiness_n do_v settle_v still_o within_o he_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o press_v he_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v know_v that_o the_o disease_n will_v increase_v if_o he_o purge_v it_o not_o to_o the_o bottom_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o do_v but_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o until_o that_o god_n have_v show_v we_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o desire_v he_o to_o give_v we_o health_n soundness_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o our_o flesh_n desire_v but_o also_o to_o blot_n our_o sin_n and_o to_o govern_v we_o so_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o we_o too_o provoke_v his_o displeasure_n against_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o david_n and_o the_o other_o holy_a prophet_n when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o beat_v and_o torment_v at_o god_n hand_n do_v not_o say_v only_o lord_n deliver_v i_o from_o this_o affliction_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o desire_v that_o too_o but_o first_o of_o all_o they_o desire_a god_n to_o forgive_v they_o their_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v no_o more_o angry_a with_o they_o and_o why_o speak_v they_o so_o for_o they_o see_v well_o from_o whence_o affliction_n come_v how_o that_o they_o be_v the_o
it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o sixteen_o psalm_n lord_n my_o good_n can_v come_v at_o thou_o how_o then_o but_o i_o honour_v thy_o saint_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n forasmuch_o as_o god_n can_v receive_v no_o benefit_n by_o we_o he_o commend_v our_o neighbour_n unto_o we_o and_o when_o we_o do_v good_a to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o necessity_n live_v friendly_a and_o upright_o among_o man_n and_o indevering_a to_o employ_v ourselves_o faithful_o where_o we_o be_v able_a to_o help_v and_o succour_v god_n accept_v such_o thing_n as_o sacrifice_n so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v this_o doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v any_o thing_n unto_o god_n for_o it_o serve_v to_o abate_v all_o pride_n in_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o god_n be_v any_o thing_n behold_v to_o we_o nor_o be_v lead_v unto_o foolish_a superstition_n to_o gad_n up_o and_o down_o and_o to_o do_v many_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n as_o though_o god_n take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o and_o why_o for_o we_o can_v bring_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o he_o but_o we_o must_v also_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o the_o present_a intent_n of_o eliu_n which_o be_v that_o god_n be_v not_o like_o mortal_a man_n which_o be_v move_v and_o touch_v and_o why_o because_o they_o have_v need_v one_o of_o another_o help_n and_o can_v set_v light_n by_o other_o man_n force_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o we_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o and_o fro_o but_o there_o must_v no_o such_o dotage_n enter_v into_o our_o head_n concern_v god_n for_o he_o behave_v not_o himself_o after_o our_o manner_n neither_o can_z we_o do_v he_o any_o good_a contrariwise_o also_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o we_o sin_n we_o can_v hurt_v he_o by_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o off_o end_n god_n we_o do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v impeach_v his_o righteousness_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o be_v very_o ill_o deal_v withal_o therefore_o when_o we_o sin_n we_o be_v blamewoorthy_a no_o less_o than_o if_o we_o have_v impeach_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n we_o know_v what_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n which_o he_o command_v we_o &_o when_o we_o go_v contrary_a to_o that_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o we_o will_v bar_v he_o from_o reign_v pluck_v he_o out_o of_o his_o seat_n and_o as_o it_o be_v trample_v he_o under_o our_o foot_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v man_n guilty_a but_o yet_o can_v god_n be_v either_o increase_v or_o diminish_v in_o himself_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o by_o our_o sin_v we_o hurt_v not_o god_n nevertheless_o as_o touch_v they_o that_o blaspheme_v god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o they_o spew_v out_o their_o venom_n thereby_o they_o deface_v his_o glory_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o name_n be_v evil_o speak_v of_o &_o his_o glory_n diminish_v when_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o to_o be_v good_a righteous_a and_o wise_a by_o confess_v it_o before_o man_n and_o so_o be_v his_o reign_v diminish_v howbeit_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o and_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n what_o do_v we_o by_o sin_v when_o we_o have_v do_v never_o somuch_o we_o can_v do_v he_o any_o annoyance_n let_v the_o best_a archer_n in_o the_o world_n shoot_v up_o and_o see_v if_o he_o shall_v hit_v the_o sky_n when_o we_o have_v practise_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a can_v we_o come_v at_o god_n can_v we_o by_o any_o mean_n touch_v he_o no_o sure_o but_o which_o more_o be_v all_o that_o we_o cast_v upward_o must_v fall_v down_o upon_o our_o own_o head_n if_o i_o shoot_v at_o a_o man_n and_o hit_v he_o i_o wound_v he_o but_o i_o can_v hit_v god_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o may_v well_o run_v cast_v of_o stone_n and_o we_o may_v well_o shoot_v both_o with_o bow_n and_o gun_n but_o yet_o shall_v god_n be_v always_o far_o enough_o from_o the_o dint_n of_o our_o stroke_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o we_o may_v well_o bark_v but_o we_o can_v never_o bite_v when_o man_n cast_v up_o their_o blow_n where_o light_n they_o shall_v they_o pass_v above_o the_o sky_n no._n but_o they_o shall_v fall_v back_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n and_o so_o man_n can_v advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n but_o too_o their_o own_o confuzion_n thus_o you_o see_v a_o text_n here_o well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v wherein_o eliu_n show_v that_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o we_o can_v do_v god_n no_o hurt_n at_o all_o by_o it_o and_o thereupon_o we_o have_v a_o double_a instruction_n to_o

some_o ignorant_a person_n here_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o declare_v it_o more_o full_o you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n may_v reject_v we_o without_o make_v account_v of_o any_o of_o we_o and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v all_o the_o world_n strain_v itself_o as_o much_o as_o it_o can_v and_o yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o can_v profit_v our_o

be_v it_o not_o a_o singular_a comfort_n that_o he_o give_v when_o he_o say_v i_o accept_v your_o do_n and_o although_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v esteem_v at_o my_o hand_n yet_o i_o take_v

bind_v by_o they_o also_o let_v it_o serve_v to_o encourage_v we_o to_o do_v well_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n receive_v the_o thing_n at_o our_o hand_n which_o be_v nothing_o worth_a and_o put_v all_o the_o point_n of_o our_o work_n as_o it_o be_v into_o article_n in_o his_o book_n of_o account_v for_o that_o they_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o through_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o in_o

how_o gracious_a he_o show_v himself_o towards_o we_o and_o â–ª_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o must_v consider_v the_o other_o point_n that_o it_o set_v down_o here_o which_o be_v that_o do_v we_o never_o somuch_o evil_a we_o can_v not_o burt_v our_o god._n therefore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v not_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n by_o reason_n of_o any_o spite_n he_o

they_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o for_o we_o do_v it_o not_o hearty_o then_o if_o god_n suffer_v man_n to_o be_v afflict_v he_o do_v it_o just_o because_o they_o return_v not_o to_o he_o with_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v nevertheless_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n and_o although_o he_o delay_v his_o justice_n and_o seem_v not_o to_o

of_o our_o sight_n yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o same_o happen_v not_o at_o all_o adventure_n but_o that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o command_v it_o and_o

of_o repentance_n but_o only_o a_o outward_a token_n of_o it_o furthermore_o this_o token_n be_v not_o always_o requisite_a but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o make_v open_a protestation_n of_o a_o outrageous_a

without_o many_o misdo_n we_o commit_v infinite_a fault_n without_o our_o knowledge_n yea_o and_o even_o think_v that_o we_o do_v well_o so_o as_o if_o we_o examine_v ourselves_o thorough_o we_o

open_a protestation_n before_o man_n then_o may_v repentance_n well_o be_v without_o the_o outward_a sign_n join_v with_o it_o but_o when_o our_o fault_n be_v gross_a and_o god_n wrath_n show_v itself_o towards_o we_o they_o must_v we_o not_o only_o be_v sorry_a and_o mislike_v of_o ourselves_o but_o also_o in_o consideration_n that_o the_o same_o may_v edify_v our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v add_v some_o outward_a sign_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v give_v some_o stumble_a block_n &_o see_v that_o god_n name_n be_v blaspheme_v by_o it_o and_o god_n discover_v his_o shame_n he_o must_v not_o

must_v be_v not_o only_o in_o every_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o in_o the_o whole_a people_n according_a as_o we_o see_v it_o have_v always_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v the_o outward_a token_n but_o our_o heart_n must_v special_o be_v wound_v that_o be_v thorough_o grieve_v for_o provoke_a god_n wrath_n against_o we_o we_o may_v conceive_v a_o soriness_n and_o condemn_v ourselves_o and_o be_v utter_o dismay_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v the_o sorrow_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n speak_v which_o he_o say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o shun_v because_o it_o be_v to_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v also_o in_o the_o prophet_n joel_n rend_v your_o

to_o return_v with_o sackcloth_n dust_n and_o ash_n and_o to_o confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v offender_n and_o to_o crave_v forgiveness_n and_o too_o declare_v with_o solemn_a protestation_n that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n but_o if_o he_o have_v pity_n of_o they_o howbeit_o forasmuchas_o man_n be_v so_o sore_o incline_v to_o hypocrisy_n and_o will_v needs_o content_a god_n with_o fair_a

of_o they_o must_v be_v put_v away_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o effect_n which_o job_n mean_v to_o say_v be_v that_o in_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o unaduize_v speech_n he_o add_v that_o his_o so_o do_v be_v not_o light_v nor_o small_a sin_n but_o so_o heinous_a that_o he_o be_v ready_o too_o show_v himself_o as_o a_o wretched_a offender_n that_o have_v commit_v a_o crime_n worthy_a of_o death_n and_o have_v none_o other_o hope_n nor_o refuge_n but_o only_o to_o the_o mere_a mercy_n of_o god_n yea_o and_o even_o to_o make_v the_o same_o protestation_n willing_o before_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o as_o have_v be_v offend_v by_o he_o may_v be_v set_v up_o again_o and_o all_o man_n know_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o humble_v himself_o under_o god_n hand_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o when_o we_o on_o our_o side_n have_v do_v any_o fault_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o lessen_v it_o nor_o to_o hide_v it_o but_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o yea_o even_o to_o the_o utter_a

god_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o account_n with_o we_o let_v we_o also_o have_v the_o modesty_n before_o man_n too_o use_v the_o protestation_n which_o god_n like_v of_o namely_o too_o confess_v that_o in_o all_o respect_n we_o have_v deserve_v death_n but_o if_o god_n admit_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o let_v not_o the_o shame_n of_o our_o sin_n hinder_v we_o from_o make_v amends_n for_o the_o

say_v unto_o he_o my_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o thou_o and_o thy_o companion_n for_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v right_o before_o i_o as_o my_o servant_n job_n have_v do_v we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o god_n find_v fault_n with_o job_n and_o now_o secondary_o he_o find_v fault_n with_o his_o companion_n yea_o and_o that_o much_o more_o rough_o before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o comparison_n that_o be_v make_v here_o between_o job_n and_o his_o friend_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v the_o order_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v speak_v those_o word_n unto_o job_n turn_v his_o talk_n to_o those_o that_o have_v wrongful_o condemn_v he_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o although_o god_n chastise_v his_o own_o with_o fatherly_a gentleness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o execute_v his_o justice_n thorough_o upon_o they_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o punishment_n or_o chastizement_n begin_v at_o his_o own_o house_n or_o church_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n rebuke_v job_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v the_o other_o alone_o which_o have_v offend_v more_o gross_o than_o he_o a_o man_n may_v demand_v here_o yea_o be_v it_o so_o why_o do_v god_n set_v himself_o alone_a at_o job_n and_o at_o the_o party_n that_o have_v least_o offend_v for_o although_o he_o have_v do_v fault_n yet_o be_v they_o more_o too_o be_v bear_v withal_o than_o the_o fault_n of_o his_o companion_n and_o yet_o god_n seem_v to_o utter_v all_o his_o rigour_n against_o he_o alone_o lo_o what_o a_o man_n may_v say_v howbeit_o he_o be_v rebuke_v first_o because_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n must_v be_v sulfil_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n begin_v to_o chastise_v his_o own_o householdfolke_n first_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o execute_v his_o justice_n he_o begin_v not_o at_o the_o unbeliever_n he_o let_v they_o alone_o he_o spare_v they_o as_o though_o he_o have_v forget_v their_o fault_n not_o that_o they_o be_v not_o thorough_o record_v or_o shall_v not_o come_v to_o account_v but_o for_o that_o he_o suffer_v the_o sin_n of_o those_o who_o he_o love_v not_o to_o ripe_a yea_o &_o to_o rot_v yea_o &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o chastize_v those_o who_o he_o have_v adopt_v and_o who_o he_o avow_v for_o his_o child_n he_o show_v they_o sign_n of_o roughness_n while_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o he_o take_v their_o rest_n &_o welter_v in_o their_o ease_n &_o pleasure_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v show_v we_o in_o this_o text_n and_o it_o be_v a_o

even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o job._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n attribute_v rightness_n unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o pure_a and_o

of_o we_o and_o the_o great_a and_o soveraine_v worship_n that_o he_o allow_v be_v for_o we_o too_o have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o now_o have_v the_o papist_n consider_v this_o will_v it_o not_o

why_o then_o say_v he_o still_o that_o he_o will_v feign_v that_o his_o word_n be_v write_v be_v it_o not_o enough_o too_o bring_v double_a condemnation_n upon_o his_o own_o head_n let_v we_o mark_v

convict_v too_o have_v do_v amiss_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o will_v perk_v up_o with_o my_o neb_n and_o and_o say_v whereof_o can_v any_o man_n accuse_v i_o what_o have_v i_o do_v have_v i_o not_o a_o good_a case_n i_o will_v take_v fair_a colour_n too_o cover_v my_o skin_n and_o if_o i_o can_v blear_v man_n eye_n tush_o my_o case_n shall_v then_o speed_v well_o enough_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o speak_v of_o namely_o that_o hypocrisy_n engender_v shamelessness_n so_o as_o man_n become_v bold_a to_o maintain_v their_o case_n for_o good_a because_o they_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o god_n but_o job_n contrariwise_o say_v i_o know_v that_o my_o god_n be_v alive_a and_o that_o in_o the_o end_n â—ee_n will_v rise_v up_o upon_o the_o dust_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o take_v for_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o desperate_a person_n as_o though_o i_o have_v blaspheme_v god_n in_o labour_v to_o justify_v myself_o against_o he_o no_o no_o i_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o humble_v myself_o unto_o he_o and_o too_o repose_v myself_o whole_o in_o his_o grace_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o maintain_v my_o uprightness_n against_o you_o for_o i_o see_v you_o go_v to_o work_v with_o nothing_o but_o slander_n my_o defence_n then_o be_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o i_o look_v unto_o god_n and_o have_v my_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o he_o hereof_o we_o both_o may_v and_o ought_v too_o gather_v a_o good_a lesson_n which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o popeholie_o as_o to_o cover_v our_o fault_n afore_o man_n and_o too_o make_v countenance_n of_o maintain_v a_o good_a case_n and_o to_o bear_v a_o face_n of_o honest_a man_n and_o yet_o all_o the_o while_n to_o be_v reprove_v of_o our_o own_o conscience_n rather_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o to_o examine_v our_o own_o sin_n and_o too_o cite_v ourselves_o before_o god_n let_v we_o i_o say_v begin_v at_o this_o point_n to_o say_v how_o now_o what_o intend_v i_o true_a it_o be_v that_o i_o may_v well_o excuse_v myself_o afore_o man_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n what_o shall_v that_o boot_n i_o before_o god_n will_v he_o accept_v it_o no._n therefore_o according_a too_o this_o let_v we_o all_o come_v before_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n both_o great_a and_o small_a and_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o
