whereof_o they_o be_v worthy_a for_o this_o cause_n we_o ought_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o note_v this_o doctrine_n where_o ezechias_n lead_v we_o by_o his_o example_n to_o know_v our_o sin_n so_o

that_o yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o when_o he_o have_v set_v we_o up_o again_o let_v we_o geve_v he_o praise_n not_o only_o for_o the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v

he_o accept_v we_o as_o his_o own_o child_n because_o he_o tourn_v his_o face_n from_o our_o sin_n for_o while_n god_n look_v upon_o our_o sin_n he_o can_v not_o look_v upon_o we_o but_o with_o

and_o think_v no_o more_o on_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o so_o speak_v it_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n for_o we_o know_v that_o all_o be_v present_a before_o god_n but_o when_o we_o say_v that_o he_o must_v forget_v our_o sin_n and_o look_v no_o more_o on_o they_o that_o be_v to_o express_v that_o he_o call_v we_o not_o to_o account_v but_o love_v we_o as_o well_o as_o if_o we_o never_o have_v offend_v he_o moreover_o by_o this_o fashion_n of_o speech_n that_o ezechias_n use_v we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o
general_o all_o the_o church_n then_o when_o a_o horrible_a dissipation_n be_v near_o tempt_v as_o if_o god_n will_v reject_v they_o and_o utter_o disclaim_v in_o they_o and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o they_o as_o they_o then_o be_v pull_v back_o from_o god_n so_o be_v they_o abassh_v and_o no_o marvel_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o make_v thereof_o a_o rule_n as_o if_o we_o may_v do_v the_o like_a but_o let_v it_o serve_v to_o make_v we_o know_v our_o own_o weakness_n moreover_o although_o god_n do_v support_v we_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o please_v ourselves_o in_o such_o a_o vice_n loe_o this_o it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v now_o we_o be_v teach_v for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o grace_n to_o have_v our_o heart_n set_v at_o

the_o more_o move_v to_o bless_v his_o name_n &_o let_v every_o one_o experuse_v and_o prick_v himself_o forward_o unto_o that_o lo_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n that_o which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o place_n now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o confess_v that_o our_o life_n be_v curse_v if_o we_o gluttonous_o devour_v the_o good_a thing_n that_o god_n geve_v we_o and_o do_v not_o therein_o behold_v his_o goodness_n for_o we_o unchristianly_a abuse_n all_o that_o which_o be_v appoint_v for_o our_o use_n and_o salvation_n unless_o we_o be_v bring_v to_o this_o point_n that_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o very_a father_n unto_o we_o and_o that_o by_o all_o mean_n of_o gentleness_n he_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v that_o he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o in_o this_o also_o we_o see_v how_o miserable_a be_v the_o state_n of_o papist_n for_o they_o will_v not_o assure_v themselves_o of_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n but_o say_v that_o always_o we_o must_v be_v in_o doubt_n of_o it_o and_o so_o all_o their_o prayeng_a and_o thankesgeve_v to_o god_n be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n and_o feign_v for_o we_o can_v not_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n but_o with_o affiance_n we_o can_v not_o praise_v his_o name_n except_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v favourable_a unto_o us._n then_o they_o be_v altogether_o exclude_v let_v we_o learn_v then_o that_o we_o can_v never_o offer_v to_o god_n a_o sacrifice_n of_o thankesgeve_a which_o he_o esteme_v and_o set_v by_o and_o that_o we_o can_v never_o attein_v to_o the_o right_a scope_n of_o our_o life_n unless_o we_o be_v ful_o persuade_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o so_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o think_v upon_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o benefit_n of_o god_n let_v this_o come_v into_o our_o mind_n that_o god_n do_v confirm_v and_o ratify_v unto_o we_o his_o adopsion_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v not_o doubt_n that_o he_o compt_v we_o as_o his_o child_n and_o that_o we_o free_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n lo_o in_o a_o sum_n what_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v of_o this_o place_n now_o we_o must_v also_o note_v this_o which_o ezechias_n say_v the_o lyve_n the_o lyve_a shall_v praise_v the_o yea_o the_o father_n shall_v declare_v to_o his_o child_n thy_o virtue_n he_o have_v say_v before_o that_o the_o dead_a shall_v not_o wait_v any_o more_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o shall_v have_v no_o hope_n and_o in_o this_o we_o see_v that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o ezechias_n speak_v not_o indifferent_o of_o all_o these_o who_o god_n have_v take_v out_o of_o this_o world_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o faithful_a do_v wait_v upon_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n when_o jacob_n yield_a up_o his_o spirit_n say_v i_o will_v wait_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o say_v not_o that_o for_o one_o minute_n but_o he_o declare_v and_o protest_v that_o he_o have_v this_o assurance_n imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v pull_v out_o so_z y_z t_z though_o he_o pass_v through_o a_o hundred_o death_n yet_o always_o this_o treasure_n shall_v remain_v with_o he_o now_o than_o the_o saint_n and_o faithful_a although_o god_n call_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n cease_v not_o always_o to_o nourish_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n â–ª_o and_o of_o this_o

he_o forsake_v now_o he_o be_v even_o in_o the_o same_o estate_n in_o his_o own_o conceit_n until_o god_n comfort_v he_o by_o his_o prophet_n for_o y_o e_o messag_n which_o be_v send_v to_o he_o be_v to_o show_v that_o god_n be_v his_o enemy_n and_o that_o he_o come_v as_o his_o adversary_n with_o arm_a hand_n against_o he_o than_o be_v ezechias_n drive_v to_o remain_v confound_v then_o it_o be_v not_o without_o a_o cause_n that_o he_o say_v that_o those_o which_o be_v depart_v wait_v not_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v altogether_o shut_v out_o from_o the_o promise_n so_o as_o they_o be_v no_o more_o of_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n but_o now_o he_o say_v that_o the_o lyvinge_v which_o taste_n the_o goodness_n of_o god_n shall_v cause_v their_o child_n to_o knowledge_n his_o truth_n now_o here_o we_o see_v again_o how_o god_n be_v due_o praise_v and_o honour_v among_o we_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o he_o be_v faithful_a to_o all_o his_o own_o that_o he_o never_o forsake_v they_o but_o that_o his_o help_n be_v ready_a for_o they_o in_o their_o necessity_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v disappoint_v which_o lean_a unto_o he_o lo_o this_o be_v the_o true_a substance_n of_o god_n praise_n so_o in_o a_o sum_n we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o falshede_v and_o lie_v when_o man_n shall_v pray_v unto_o god_n and_o shall_v make_v as_o though_o they_o give_v thanks_n unto_o he_o &_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o be_v not_o instruct_v of_o the_o love_n y_fw-fr t_o god_n

be_v sound_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n be_v but_o windâ—_n â–ª_o and_o smoke_n will_v we_o then_o praise_n god_n as_o it_o appertain_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o he_o allow_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o we_o shall_v offer_v unto_o he_o of_o praise_n and_o thanks_n gevinge_v let_v we_o profit_v in_o his_o word_n let_v we_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o which_o we_o can_v not_o
