unto_o we_o you_o see_v how_o god_n do_v in_o his_o law_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n too_o condemn_v we_o and_o in_o his_o gospel_n he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n to_o acquit_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a and_o therewithal_o threaten_v we_o that_o if_o we_o have_v fail_v in_o any_o thing_n we_o must_v

stand_v for_o if_o we_o perish_v yet_o have_v we_o no_o cause_n to_o grudge_v at_o it_o again_o if_o god_n call_v we_o too_o himself_o offer_v we_o his_o grace_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o show_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o you_o see_v yet_o a_o great_a cause_n too_o glorify_v he_o in_o his_o righteousness_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v pull_v we_o out_o of_o hell_n and_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n you_o see_v then_o by_o this_o how_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o double_a wise_a when_o he_o utter_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o

be_v of_o his_o special_a favour_n that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o again_o when_o he_o chastize_v we_o for_o our_o offence_n of_o purpose_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o repentance_n see_v you_o not_o how_o he_o

well_o by_o his_o word_n as_o by_o his_o work_n we_o have_v wherefore_o to_o glorify_v he_o but_o have_v we_o do_v so_o we_o must_v mount_v yet_o high_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v glorify_v god_n though_o he_o hide_v himself_o from_o we_o and_o show_v not_o himself_o too_o we_o neither_o by_o his_o righteousness_n nor_o by_o his_o goodness_n nor_o by_o any_o other_o thing_n which_o may_v cause_v we_o too_o say_v that_o the_o say_a glory_n be_v due_a unto_o he_o as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v too_o we_o of_o his_o election_n that_o he_o choose_v who_o he_o like_v and_o cast_v away_o the_o residue_n and_o that_o he_o dispose_v of_o mankind_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o likewise_o when_o he_o scourge_v the_o good_a and_o seave_v they_o oppress_v and_o we_o see_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v confound_v in_o this_o world_n in_o these_o caces_fw-la god_n hide_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o show_v not_o himself_o to_o usafter_o such_o a_o fashion_n as_o our_o reason_n may_v be_v able_a to_o take_v hold_n of_o his_o rightfulness_n goodness_n power_n and_o wisdom_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o yield_v he_o his_o due_a glory_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o

consequent_o say_v that_o fearfulness_n shall_v overtake_v the_o wicked_a man_n as_o a_o rage_n of_o water_n he_o speak_v here_o of_o water_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o sudden_a

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

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

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

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

let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o compass_v he_o by_o that_o mean_n for_o he_o will_v be_v froward_a with_o the_o froward_a that_o be_v too_o say_v he_o will_v be_v over_o terrible_a when_o he_o see_v man_n use_v such_o a_o obstinate_a malice_n against_o he_o and_o therefore_o needs_o must_v they_o be_v utter_o oppress_v but_o if_o we_o be_v of_o a_o meek_a mind_n too_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v that_o thing_n in_o he_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o then_o let_v we_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o by_o the_o apostle_n humble_a yourselves_o say_v he_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o who_o soever_o stoop_v down_o with_o his_o head_n who_o soever_o bow_v his_o knee_n before_o

against_o he_o desire_v we_o to_o feel_v god_n hand_n under_o we_o to_o aid_v we_o then_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o but_o who_o soever_o advance_v himself_o he_o must_v needs_o rush_v against_o

will_v be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o we_o to_o say_v bliss_v be_v god_n for_o chastise_v man_n so_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n when_o we_o ourselves_o be_v chastise_v we_o do_v not_o

we_o treat_v only_o of_o the_o mean_a which_o his_o will_n be_v to_o keep_v towards_o we_o for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o hold_v this_o say_a order_n of_o remedy_v our_o vice_n by_o scourge_v we_o it_o behove_v every_o of_o we_o to_o study_v this_o lesson_n for_o himself_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v all_o confess_v with_o david_n lord_n it_o be_v to_o my_o profit_n that_o thou_o have_v bring_v i_o low_a david_n speak_v not_o there_o of_o other_o man_n to_o say_v lord_n thou_o have_v do_v well_o to_o chastise_v such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o but_o he_o begin_v at_o

can_v abide_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n but_o they_o strive_v against_o he_o and_o continue_v always_o unamendable_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o profitable_a for_o they_o to_o be_v

bear_v very_o much_o with_o we_o in_o do_v thereof_o true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v see_v he_o punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a as_o he_o do_v we_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v

still_o pity_v man_n when_o he_o chastize_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o never_o use_v so_o great_a rigour_n but_o that_o his_o mercy_n be_v continual_o mingle_v there_o with_o and_o why_o so_o for_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v summon_n to_o make_v we_o appear_v before_o he_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o in_o feel_v he_o too_o be_v our_o judge_n we_o shall_v flee_v too_o his_o

may_v see_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o affliction_n be_v universal_a and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o man_n that_o have_v not_o his_o portion_n in_o they_o after_o his_o rate_n we_o pass_v not_o through_o this_o present_a life_n but_o that_o god_n chastize_v we_o many_o way_n i_o say_v every_o of_o we_o several_o and_o all_o in_o general_a we_o see_v how_o god_n

we_o how_o unthankful_a we_o be_v that_o although_o god_n call_v we_o to_o he_o and_o be_v loath_a that_o we_o shall_v perish_v yet_o we_o be_v so_o stiffnecked_a as_o we_o shake_v off_o all_o the_o warning_n that_o he_o give_v we_o but_o this_o doctrine_n must_v also_o profit_v we_o further_a to_o make_v we_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o although_o we_o be_v persecute_v in_o this_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o leave_v we_o not_o here_o by_o low_a without_o call_v of_o we_o continual_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o be_v disappoint_v when_o we_o shall_v be_v come_v to_o that_o point_n so_o our_o come_n thither_o be_v to_o have_v all_o our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o hardy_o trust_v that_o our_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o and_o let_v we_o thank_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o take_v we_o out_o of_o this_o present_a life_n at_o the_o first_o blow_n but_o have_v give_v we_o leisure_n too_o bethink_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o return_v unto_o he_o but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o comfort_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o if_o thou_o come_v too_o he_o betimes_o and_o seek_v he_o with_o prayer_n if_o thou_o be_v right_a and_o pure_a be_v will_v awake_v to_o thou_o this_o be_v add_v purposely_o because_o man_n continue_v stubborn_a and_o although_o god_n provoke_v they_o to_o return_v into_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n yet_o they_o pass_v not_o for_o it_o lo_o why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o kick_v so_o against_o the_o prick_n as_o

not_o the_o special_a gift_n of_o god_n but_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v so_o holy_a and_o precious_a a_o thing_n as_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o too_o let_v it_o go_v so_o good_a cheap_a then_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o the_o world_n go_v always_o back_o and_o will_v play_v the_o evil_a debtor_n who_o when_o they_o have_v get_v any_o long_a day_n of_o payment_n sleep_n without_o care_n till_o the_o term_n be_v come_v even_o so_o i_o say_v play_v the_o worldling_n when_o god_n lengthen_v their_o life_n wait_v that_o they_o shall_v repent_v they_o will_v never_o think_v upon_o it_o till_o the_o hour_n come_v that_o they_o perish_v with_o shame_n to_o the_o end_n then_o that_o we_o may_v not_o do_v so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v return_v unto_o god_n betimes_o to_o be_v short_a here_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v mark_v well_o one_o be_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n visit_v we_o we_o must_v return_v to_o he_o out_o of_o hand_n and_o not_o tarry_v from_o day_n too_o day_n till_o to_o morrow_n mark_v this_o for_o one_o special_a point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o must_v come_v too_o he_o with_o prayer_n condemn_v ourselves_o in_o our_o offence_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v forgiveness_n and_o mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n the_o third_o be_v that_o our_o prayer_n must_v not_o be_v make_v in_o hypocrisy_n but_o that_o we_o must_v bring_v a_o pure_a and_o right_a mean_a heart_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v propound_v too_o we_o here_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v dispatch_v they_o all_o three_o as_o now_o how_o be_v it_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v have_v a_o abridgement_n of_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n that_o i_o have_v declare_v it_o behove_v we_o too_o have_v these_o say_v three_o point_n well_o imprint_v in_o our_o mind_n to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o humble_a ourselves_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o and_o hereupon_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a yea_o even_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o when_o he_o shall_v execute_v the_o rough_a of_o his_o judgement_n upon_o we_o we_o may_v not_o cease_v to_o confess_v that_o he_o do_v all_o thing_n rightful_o and_o unpartial_o so_o as_o we_o may_v have_v our_o mouth_n sheâ—_n and_o not_o allege_v any_o thing_n against_o he_o and_o not_o only_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v this_o righteousness_n or_o justice_n too_o be_v in_o god_n but_o also_o let_v we_o so_o do_v it_o as_o we_o may_v take_v profit_n by_o it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o he_o punish_v the_o rebel_n and_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o such_o as_o be_v utter_o past_o mendment_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o call_v we_o home_o unto_o he_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o tarry_v till_o he_o smile_v upon_o we_o but_o let_v we_o take_v this_o for_o our_o learning_n and_o let_v it_o teach_v we_o righteousness_n according_a too_o that_o which_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n and_o special_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n too_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n upon_o we_o and_o to_o smite_v we_o let_v we_o not_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o correction_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n but_o above_o all_o sith_o we_o know_v that_o god_n call_v we_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o he_o yea_o even_o betimes_o and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o bring_v unto_o he_o a_o pure_a and_o right_a mean_a heart_n beseech_v he_o too_o forgive_v all_o our_o fault_n and_o after_o the_o example_n of_o david_n let_v we_o desire_v he_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o spot_v according_a as_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v wash_v by_o he_o that_o we_o may_v present_v ourselves_o before_o his_o face_n in_o such_o pureness_n as_o he_o command_v and_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o innumerable_a offence_n which_o we_o cease_v not_o too_o commit_v daily_o against_o he_o pray_v he_o to_o
may_v man_n dispute_v upon_o a_o shadow_n but_o you_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n fall_v asleep_a upon_o this_o disputation_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n cease_v not_o on_o this_o behalf_n to_o play_v the_o judge_n not_o in_o judge_v according_a too_o their_o law_n but_o in_o behave_v himself_o according_a too_o his_o own_o majesty_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o find_v out_o that_o thing_n in_o man_n which_o we_o can_v not_o perceive_v but_o if_o our_o virtue_n be_v godly_a in_o deed_n that_o be_v too_o say_v such_o as_o may_v go_v for_o payment_n before_o god_n that_o be_v somewhat_o but_o what_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v prise_v they_o to_o the_o uttermost_a they_o shall_v be_v but_o smoke_n if_o they_o come_v before_o god_n all_o this_o must_v be_v lay_v down_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v find_v righteous_a to_o god_n ward_n and_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v take_v warning_n hereby_o as_o oft_o as_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o our_o sin_n we_o must_v not_o rest_v here_o bylowe_v but_o rather_o every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v summon_v himself_o before_o god_n that_o we_o may_v know_v what_o manner_n of_o judge_n he_o be_v for_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o plead_v against_o he_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v &_o as_o it_o be_v overwhelm_v and_o

of_o god_n for_o we_o may_v plead_v fair_a and_o tell_v a_o long_a tale_n whereas_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o thousand_o point_n that_o god_n will_v not_o once_o vouchsafe_v to_o open_v his_o lip_n to_o reply_v unto_o and_o that_o be_v very_o true_a for_o all_o the_o colour_n that_o we_o shall_v pretend_v to_o justify_v ourselves_o may_v well_o bear_v some_o countenance_n afore_o man_n because_o they_o see_v not_o so_o clear_o as_o be_v requisite_a but_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n all_o of_o it_o vanish_v away_o to_o nothing_o let_v we_o not_o think_v then_o that_o god_n be_v amaze_v at_o our_o long_a and_o great_a babble_n for_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v cast_v our_o scum_n and_o when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o point_n of_o excuse_v ourselves_o and_o to_o give_v credit_n to_o our_o virtue_n peradventure_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o yield_v unto_o we_o yea_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o laugh_v and_o mock_v at_o all_o the_o vain_a brag_n that_o man_n can_v allege_v for_o all_o be_v nothing_o worth_a thus_o you_o see_v a_o good_a and_o holy_a sentence_n which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o allege_v a_o thousand_o article_n god_n will_v not_o answer_v so_o much_o as_o one_o of_o they_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v neither_o here_o nor_o there_o in_o his_o sight_n it_o may_v well_o be_v make_v account_n of_o before_o man_n but_o what_o for_o that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v move_v with_o it_o awhit_o nevertheless_o the_o natural_a meaof_n this_o place_n be_v that_o when_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o way_n of_o incounter_v against_o he_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o cumber_v as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o answer_v one_o only_a article_n of_o a_o

may_v turn_v we_o to_o trouble_v or_o displeasure_n when_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o deal_n against_o man_n we_o will_v make_v many_o discourse_n but_o if_o we_o be_v mind_v to_o rush_v against_o

wherein_o they_o be_v when_o god_n make_v they_o to_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o confound_v they_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o man_n be_v desirous_a to_o plead_v and_o

beside_o that_o if_o i_o have_v vice_n i_o have_v virtue_n also_o too_o recompense_v they_o withal_o the_o cause_n then_o why_o man_n do_v so_o oversleepe_a themselves_o be_v for_o that_o they_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

we_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v not_o receive_v of_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o strange_a if_o we_o refer_v all_o to_o god_n word_n but_o

much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o empty_a man_n shall_v be_v endue_v with_o heart_n and_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o wild_a ass_n colt_n here_o we_o be_v

in_o prison_n no_o man_n may_v deliver_v he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o wisdom_n in_o god_n which_o be_v over-high_a and_o secret_a for_o we_o very_o say_v he_o

of_o job_n word_n howbeit_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v good_a instruction_n by_o this_o sentence_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o job_n mean_v that_o god_n glory_n do_v in_o such_o wise_a shine_n

but_o to_o give_v we_o some_o understanding_n of_o he_o but_o we_o be_v become_v stark_a dolt_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o let_v but_o our_o own_o

the_o very_a gate_n of_o life_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v pass_v the_o same_o away_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a that_o death_n shall_v have_v

but_o god_n agree_v they_o very_o well_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v by_o our_o natural_a wit_n be_v put_v under_o foot_n because_o faith_n get_v the_o

to_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o to_o hope_v for_o salvation_n at_o his_o hand_n how_o so_o ever_o he_o will_v go_v but_o this_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o do_v except_o they_o hold_v he_o

but_o yet_o must_v i_o tarry_v the_o leisure_n of_o my_o god_n with_o patience_n and_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n to_o rest_v myself_o upon_o his_o promise_n lo_o how_o the_o faithful_a be_v full_o resolve_v in_o that_o point_n but_o on_o the_o otherside_n it_o behove_v they_o to_o know_v themselves_o and_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o they_o shall_v know_v their_o own_o infirmity_n but_o that_o they_o must_v also_o make_v their_o moan_n and_o say_v how_o now_o and_o these_o be_v thing_n contrary_a for_o if_o we_o ought_v to_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n with_o silence_n be_v it_o meet_v for_o we_o to_o make_v a_o dispute_v and_o to_o enter_v into_o complaint_n for_o so_o to_o do_v be_v contrary_n to_o faith_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n

whereat_o job_n amed_z when_o he_o say_v although_o god_n kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o put_v my_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v reason_n with_o god_n and_o reprove_v my_o

to_o his_o trust_n in_o god_n now_o then_o see_v that_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n submit_v himself_o to_o he_o for_o too_o trust_v in_o god_n be_v not_o too_o shrink_v

or_o without_o the_o employ_v of_o any_o creature_n about_o it_o for_o although_o the_o holy_a scripture_n too_o make_v we_o to_o perceive_v the_o better_a how_o terrible_a god_n wrath_n ought_v to_o

paul_n say_v true_o this_o seem_v strange_a too_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o pass_v that_o way_n so_o that_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o be_v teach_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v play_v

that_o pass_v and_o vanish_v away_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v god_n too_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o misery_n let_v we_o learn_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o allege_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v

and_o reason_n which_o we_o allege_v in_o our_o prayer_n be_v to_o our_o own_o use_n and_o profit_n then_o if_o a_o man_n allege_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a frail_a creature_n he_o

notwithstanding_o we_o see_v he_o overshoot_v himself_o when_o god_n hand_n press_v he_o with_o such_o vehemency_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o then_o if_o we_o despite_o god_n witting_o and_o

of_o god_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o eliu_n add_v that_o judgement_n and_o justice_n shall_v hold_v on_o still_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o man_n may_v well_o play_v the_o mad_a bedlam_n

that_o can_v be_v diminish_v by_o we_o and_o a_o justice_n which_o we_o can_v not_o by_o any_o mean_v prejudice_n when_o we_o have_v once_o conclude_v that_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v more_o advise_v

that_o the_o same_o fear_n serve_v not_o to_o dismay_v we_o but_o too_o bring_v we_o under_o his_o lure_n that_o we_o may_v crave_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o be_v

and_o that_o even_o after_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v overwhelm_v by_o his_o hand_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o play_v the_o father_n still_o yea_o even_o upon_o our_o body_n

that_o he_o will_v hear_v they_o and_o have_v pity_n upon_o they_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o correction_n be_v profitable_a too_o we_o when_o god_n shut_v not_o the_o gate_n against_o we_o but_o

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a

to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o
