if_o it_o be_v mere_a foolishness_n then_o think_v and_o consider_v that_o albeit_o in_o christ_n all_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n do_v consist_v yet_o this_o as_o a_o fool_n will_v even_o read_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o their_o parent_n say_v that_o god_n be_v mad_a and_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n christ_n &_o likewise_o his_o church_n never_o have_v nor_o at_o any_o time_n shall_v have_v a_o great_a enimye_n than_o this_o this_o human_a faith_n be_v it_o that_o have_v always_o persecute_v grace_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o with_o devise_v every_o day_n new_a sort_n of_o lyve_a after_o the_o own_o fantasy_n have_v fill_v the_o world_n with_o superstition_n idolatrye_n sect_n heresy_n and_o wicked_a religion_n and_o last_o that_o be_v it_o which_o although_o it_o have_v always_o persecute_v the_o saint_n and_o hang_v christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n yet_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antechrist_n in_o show_v more_o wickedness_n than_o ever_o it_o do_v have_v do_v and_o do_v the_o last_o violence_n it_o be_v therefore_o exceed_a foolishness_n misery_n and_o wickedness_n for_o a_o man_n to_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v guide_v thereby_o like_a as_o it_o be_v most_o high_a wisdom_n godliness_n and_o felicity_n to_o be_v govern_v and_o guide_v with_o faith_n supernatural_a light_n and_o spiritual_a wisdom_n forasmuch_o as_o such_o have_a god_n for_o their_o last_o end_n go_v unto_o he_o happy_o by_o due_a mean_n with_o use_v all_o creature_n to_o his_o glory_n let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n therefore_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o of_o his_o light_n that_o he_o will_v quench_v and_o put_v out_o in_o we_o all_o carnal_a wisdom_n so_o that_o lyve_a only_o unto_o he_o we_o may_v yield_v he_o all_o praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n amen_n the_o end_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o faith_n sermon_n of_o hope_n how_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o desperation_n be_v the_o great_a sin_n that_o can_v be_v sermon_n 1._o there_o be_v find_v two_o sort_n of_o desperation_n one_o most_o holy_a as_o when_o a_o man_n despayr_v of_o himself_o of_o his_o own_o strength_n of_o his_o own_o cunning_a prudence_n wisdom_n devise_n and_o goodness_n distru_v himself_o in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o of_o all_o help_n that_o he_o can_v ever_o have_v by_o creature_n with_o put_v his_o trust_n whole_o in_o god_n now_o this_o be_v a_o most_o godly_a desperation_n the_o other_o desperation_n be_v altogether_o devilish_a and_o most_o wicked_a as_o when_o a_o man_n distru_v and_o dispayr_v of_o the_o help_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a sin_n that_o can_v be_v commit_v forasmuch_o as_o a_o desperate_a person_n have_v most_o wicked_a conceit_n of_o god_n he_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o that_o if_o there_o be_v he_o can_v or_o that_o he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o help_v he_o and_o if_o he_o know_v how_o and_z can_v that_o he_o will_v not_o that_o he_o love_v he_o not_o that_o he_o do_v not_o favour_v he_o esteem_v he_o have_v not_o elect_v he_o neither_o that_o he_o have_v a_o most_o singular_a care_n of_o he_o yea_o he_o think_v that_o god_n be_v partial_a and_o a_o acceptor_n of_o person_n that_o he_o be_v his_o enemy_n cruel_a and_o angry_a with_o he_o he_o beléeve_v not_o that_o thorough_a christ_n he_o be_v pacify_v with_o he_o and_o this_o because_o he_o think_v that_o christ_n have_v no_o power_n to_o satisfy_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o if_o yet_o he_o have_v power_n he_o have_v no_o will_n to_o do_v it_o a_o desperate_a person_n set_v himself_o to_o strive_v against_o god_n as_o cain_n do_v labour_v to_o withdraw_v and_o wrest_v mercy_n from_o god_n or_o at_o least_o so_o to_o diminish_v it_o that_o it_o abide_v the_o lesser_a towards_o he_o through_o his_o ungodlynesse_n and_o if_o the_o desperation_n in_o cain_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o we_o it_o be_v so_o much_o great_a as_o that_o god_n since_o that_o time_n have_v be_v show_v unto_o we_o with_o great_a charity_n and_o especial_o in_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o what_o worse_a thing_n can_v a_o man_n do_v then_o to_o distrust_v of_o that_o so_o great_a and_o infinite_a goodness_n love_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n make_v manifest_a to_o we_o most_o high_o in_o christ_n the_o sin_n of_o desperation_n so_o much_o displease_v god_n that_o if_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o due_o consider_v thereof_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o what_o great_a work_v god_n have_v wrought_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n even_o until_o now_o all_o have_v be_v for_o to_o elevate_v and_o draw_v our_o hope_n unto_o he_o and_o because_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o fall_v into_o desperation_n he_o have_v create_v man_n so_o noble_a excellent_a and_o worthy_a and_o the_o world_n for_o to_o serve_v he_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n see_v themselves_o so_o love_v of_o god_n they_o may_v trust_v in_o he_o also_o he_o suffer_v man_n to_o fall_v not_o only_o because_o he_o shall_v no_o more_o trust_v in_o himself_o nor_o in_o creature_n but_o also_o because_o that_o come_n in_o the_o great_a need_n he_o shall_v be_v of_o necessity_n constrain_v to_o have_v refuge_n to_o god_n and_o so_o of_o he_o be_v help_v approve_v his_o favour_n may_v learn_v to_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o he_o send_v not_o also_o christ_n immediate_o to_o set_v he_o at_o liberty_n but_o will_v that_o for_o a_o long_a time_n he_o shall_v abide_v so_o because_o that_o he_o shall_v first_o thorough_o try_v his_o own_o strength_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o he_o béeinge_v altogether_o distrust_v in_o himself_o may_v be_v lift_v up_o with_o hope_n unto_o god_n he_o chase_v he_o out_o of_o earthly_a paradise_n because_o the_o taste_v of_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o world_n he_o may_v be_v move_v to_o recommend_v himself_o unto_o god_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o when_o he_o send_v the_o flood_n &_o drown_v the_o world_n he_o preserve_v those_o few_o in_o the_o ark_n because_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o depend_v only_o upon_o god_n he_o confound_v the_o language_n because_o that_o be_v disperse_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o in_o every_o part_n try_v and_o feel_v the_o divine_a providence_n &_o goodness_n of_o god_n they_o may_v put_v in_o he_o all_o their_o trust_n he_o will_v that_o those_o most_o holy_a patriarch_n shall_v be_v ever_o stranger_a &_o pilgrim_n amongst_o unknown_a &_o envious_a nation_n in_o perpetual_a danger_n and_o necessity_n because_o that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o put_v confidence_n in_o god_n he_o will_v also_o that_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v oppress_v in_o egypt_n persecute_v by_o pharaoh_n and_o that_o abide_n in_o the_o desert_n thy_fw-mi forty_o year_n they_o shall_v be_v feed_v with_o manna_n because_o that_o experience_v so_o meruaylous_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n they_o may_v learn_v to_o distrust_v of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n he_o give_v they_o a_o law_n by_o moses_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o by_o it_o man_n see_v their_o sin_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o observe_v the_o same_o law_n despair_v of_o themselves_o may_v seek_v their_o salvation_n through_o christ_n to_o the_o self_n same_o end_n do_v god_n suffer_v they_o to_o be_v destroy_v when_o they_o trust_v to_o overcome_v in_o battle_n by_o their_o own_o strength_n &_o always_o they_o overcome_v if_o they_o do_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o god_n he_o command_v josua_n that_o he_o shall_v kill_v all_o the_o horse_n &_o burn_v all_o the_o chariot_n which_o they_o have_v take_v from_o their_o enemy_n because_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o occasion_n to_o put_v confidence_n therein_o he_o also_o forbid_v david_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o number_v the_o people_n because_o he_o may_v not_o trust_v in_o the_o multytude_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n he_o will_v that_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v compass_v about_o with_o enemy_n and_o always_o molest_v because_o of_o necessity_n they_o may_v sometime_o be_v turn_v unto_o god_n and_o last_o send_v his_o own_o son_n he_o will_v that_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n with_o show_v to_o we_o great_a love_n he_o may_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v have_v no_o occasion_n to_o distrust_v in_o ourselves_o of_o the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n whereof_o who_o so_o doubt_v do_v in_o deed_n the_o great_a injury_n that_o can_v be_v do_v unto_o god_n in_o as_o much_o as_o like_a as_o a_o lord_n have_v receive_v great_a harm_n by_o one_o of_o his_o servant_n and_o seeinge_v he_o just_o condemn_v to_o be_v lead_v unto_o execution_n be_v move_v with_o

such_o pity_n towards_o he_o that_o for_o to_o ransom_n he_o to_o satisfy_v for_o his_o justice_n appoyntinge_v in_o his_o place_n his_o own_o belove_a and_o only_o beget_v son_n cause_v he_o to_o die_v and_o afterwards_o all_o this_o notwithstanding_o that_o servant_n will_v not_o trust_v or_o put_v any_o confidence_n but_o despair_v to_o have_v or_o ever_o obtain_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o lord_n will_v be_v more_o offend_v at_o this_o last_o injury_n then_o by_o all_o they_o that_o be_v pass_v and_o that_o because_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o all_o the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v to_o save_v he_o and_o that_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n for_o he_o be_v in_o vain_a and_o also_o for_o because_o he_o can_v have_v no_o more_o any_o remedy_n to_o save_v he_o even_o so_o we_o if_o we_o despair_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n seeinge_v that_o he_o have_v appoint_v his_o own_o son_n unto_o the_o cross_n for_o to_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n we_o do_v unto_o god_n a_o most_o great_a injury_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v by_o our_o own_o mean_n we_o make_v unprofitable_a and_o vain_a the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n &_o all_o that_o which_o god_n &_o christ_n have_v wrought_v neither_o remain_v there_o any_o more_o remedy_n for_o our_o salvation_n except_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v profitable_a to_o he_o chief_o for_o that_o like_a as_o if_o a_o sick_a man_n who_o may_v easy_o be_v heal_v with_o medicine_n &_o be_v frantic_a or_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n think_v himself_o to_o be_v hail_n &_o will_v take_v no_o medicine_n that_o his_o madness_n shall_v more_o hurt_v he_o then_o all_o other_o sickness_n so_o likewise_o unto_o a_o desperate_a person_n the_o only_a frenzy_n of_o desperation_n do_v more_o hurt_n than_o all_o other_o his_o vice_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a thou_o may_v better_o choose_v to_o have_v commit_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n than_o not_o to_o have_v commit_v any_o other_o sin_n but_o to_o distrust_v in_o god_n desperation_n also_o be_v most_o evil_a not_o only_o because_o a_o desperate_a person_n do_v not_o allow_v any_o remedy_n but_o also_o because_o he_o give_v the_o bridle_n at_o will_n unto_o all_o wickedness_n with_o say_v &_o why_o not_o in_o any_o wise_a i_o can_v be_v remedy_v i_o must_v needs_o be_v damn_v see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v best_o that_o while_o i_o be_o in_o this_o present_a life_n i_o take_v my_o pleasure_n without_o have_v any_o respect_n unto_o god_n see_v then_o that_o desperation_n be_v so_o horrible_a a_o vice_n let_v we_o pray_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o from_o it_o with_o give_v we_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v have_v stéedfast_a hope_n in_o

the_o more_z and_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v no_o true_a hope_n but_o only_o the_o which_o be_v ground_v upon_o god_n therefore_o like_v as_o by_o he_o alone_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o we_o have_v all_o good_a thing_n whatsoever_o we_o possess_v &_o to_o he_o alone_o we_o ought_v to_o render_v all_o thank_n so_o also_o in_o he_o alone_o we_o ought_v to_o hope_v and_o this_o because_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v desire_v in_o any_o person_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o in_o the_o same_o person_n all_o our_o hope_n ought_v of_o we_o to_o be_v place_v be_v find_v in_o god_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a most_o wise_a most_o rich_a most_o liberal_a most_o good_a of_o infinite_a charity_n and_o most_o meek_a and_o although_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o we_o continual_o offend_v he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o through_o christ_n pacify_v and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o although_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o fear_n yet_o we_o may_v hope_v that_o he_o chastise_v we_o as_o a_o father_n we_o have_v not_o therefore_o any_o cause_n to_o fear_v that_o he_o forsake_v or_o condempn_v we_o but_o always_o to_o trust_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o all_o that_o which_o he_o work_v with_o we_o be_v for_o his_o great_a glory_n and_o our_o felicity_n he_o strike_v we_o upon_o the_o hand_n with_o his_o rod_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o may_v leave_v these_o worldly_a thing_n and_o so_o may_v be_v constrain_v to_o turn_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o to_o taste_v of_o the_o great_a deintinesse_n of_o his_o love_n he_o pluck_v we_o back_o sometime_o with_o his_o benefit_n movinge_v his_o creature_n against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v so_o much_o the_o more_o strict_o embrace_v he_o yea_o he_o
