forth_o the_o matter_n than_o they_o and_o yet_o to_o their_o own_o seem_n they_o shall_v never_o speak_v soon_o enough_o this_o hastiness_n can_v never_o be_v allowable_a and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o what_o know_v he_o which_o speak_v too_o instruct_v other_o whether_o some_o man_n be_v better_a able_a to_o do_v it_o than_o he_o he_o himself_o have_v need_v too_o be_v teach_v and_o he_o thrust_v forth_o himself_o to_o be_v a_o teacher_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o fault_n for_o when_o a_o ignorant_a person_n or_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v not_o well_o ground_v babble_v he_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o have_v more_o grace_n and_o better_a mean_n too_o edify_v withal_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o where_o modesty_n be_v not_o there_o the_o zeal_n be_v rash_a and_o not_o govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o god_n spirit_n do_v in_o deed_n deal_v abroad_o his_o gracious_a gift_n but_o he_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o himself_o see_v then_o that_o he_o be_v name_v the_o spirit_n of_o discretion_n it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o discern_v when_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o speak_v or_o when_o to_o keep_v silence_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v well_o put_v forth_o some_o good_a matter_n although_o he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o most_o ability_n but_o be_v inferior_a to_o other_o howbeit_o it_o behove_v he_o too_o deal_v fearful_o and_o to_o show_v that_o he_o come_v with_o adesire_n and_o readiness_n to_o take_v profit_n and_o that_o he_o have_v lever_n be_v a_o learner_n than_o a_o teacher_n if_o a_o man_n go_v so_o to_o work_v although_o he_o speak_v before_o a_o multitude_n yet_o will_v he_o not_o fail_v to_o be_v modest_a and_o lowly_a but_o if_o a_o man_n file_v his_o speech_n and_o make_v no_o end_n of_o his_o talk_n but_o determine_v upon_o all_o thing_n therein_o he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v some_o vaingloriousness_n in_o he_o and_o moreover_o that_o he_o give_v not_o room_n to_o god_n grace_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v show_v we_o in_o the_o example_n of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o wait_v till_o their_o word_n be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o he_o know_v not_o as_o yet_o whereunto_o the_o matter_n will_v come_v and_o heereuntoo_o he_o add_v that_o he_o bare_a reverence_n unto_o age_n for_o he_o see_v that_o both_o job_n and_o those_o that_o talk_v with_o he_o be_v ancient_a man_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o age_n bring_v experience_n and_o gravity_n with_o it_o eliu_n thrust_v not_o himself_o forth_o know_v that_o when_o god_n suffer_v a_o man_n too_o live_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o world_n he_o give_v he_o grace_v too_o be_v able_a to_o profit_v such_o as_o be_v young_a for_o he_o have_v live_v long_o and_o therefore_o he_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v better_o settle_v and_o too_o have_v get_v some_o skill_n and_o so_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o the_o second_o place_n be_v that_o eliu_n acknowledge_v those_o that_o have_v speak_v afore_o he_o to_o be_v his_o ancient_n and_o here_o young_a man_n have_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n if_o they_o can_v put_v it_o well_o in_o ure_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o a_o man_n have_v live_v long_o he_o ought_v too_o have_v remember_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v show_v he_o by_o experience_n and_o those_o aught_o to_o serve_v he_o not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o also_o to_o give_v good_a counsel_n to_o other_o which_o have_v not_o like_a experience_n also_o there_o be_v a_o gravity_n match_v with_o it_o for_o young_a man_n ought_v too_o think_v that_o although_o god_n have_v give_v they_o some_o understanding_n yet_o they_o want_v much_o because_o they_o have_v not_o see_v much_o if_o a_o man_n want_v experience_n sure_o he_o shall_v from_o time_n to_o time_n rash_o overshoot_v himself_o for_o he_o forecast_v not_o the_o end_n of_o thing_n neither_o know_v he_o where_o too_o begin_v and_o moreover_o the_o heat_n that_o be_v in_o young_a man_n be_v always_o contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o good_a understanding_n though_o a_o young_a man_n be_v well_o stay_v and_o also_o have_v good_a knowledge_n therewithal_o yet_o notwithstanding_o youth_n drive_v he_o headlong_o and_o there_o be_v such_o boil_n in_o his_o nature_n as_o he_o can_v always_o rule_v himself_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n warn_v timothy_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v subject_n too_o the_o lust_n of_o youth_n and_o by_o these_o lust_n of_o youth_n he_o mean_v not_o disorderednesse_n in_o play_v whorehunting_n drunkenness_n or_o other_o such_o loose_a behaviour_n for_o timothy_n be_v a_o mirror_n and_o pattern_n of_o all_o holiness_n in_o himself_o yea_o and_o saint_n paul_n be_v fain_o too_o exhort_v he_o too_o the_o drink_n of_o wine_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o speak_v to_o he_o of_o the_o lust_n of_o youth_n and_o why_o for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v young_a of_o year_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v overhasty_a in_o diverse_a thing_n now_o if_o it_o behove_v timothy_n who_o pass_v his_o elder_n in_o discretion_n and_o gravity_n to_o receive_v this_o warning_n what_o have_v the_o common_a sort_n need_v to_o do_v therefore_o let_v young_a folk_n look_v well_o to_o themselves_o for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o honesty_n to_o hearken_v to_o their_o elder_n and_o too_o learn_v of_o they_o and_o too_o follow_v their_o counsel_n sure_o if_o they_o have_v all_o the_o virtue_n in_o the_o world_n that_o only_o one_o vice_n will_v stain_v and_o defile_v they_o all_o and_o there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o common_a vice_n than_o this_o presumption_n for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o young_a man_n have_v not_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v in_o many_o thing_n therefore_o they_o step_v forth_o bold_o they_o stick_v not_o at_o any_o thing_n nothing_o as_o they_o think_v be_v unpossible_a unto_o they_o youth_n then_o do_v always_o carry_v presumption_n with_o it_o as_o a_o overcommon_a and_o ordinary_a inconvenience_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o therefore_o to_o be_v bear_v withal_o for_o as_o i_o say_v if_o a_o young_a man_n have_v many_o virtue_n besides_o and_o yet_o do_v trust_n in_o himself_o yea_o and_o despise_v his_o ancient_n and_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v able_a too_o lead_v all_o other_o god_n will_v confound_v he_o with_o all_o his_o pride_n and_o all_o the_o gift_n that_o be_v in_o he_o shall_v be_v deface_v and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v young_a folk_n and_o such_o as_o have_v not_o yet_o see_v much_o bridle_v themselves_o yea_o and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o see_v that_o now_o adays_o the_o world_n be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o order_n that_o young_a folk_n have_v gather_v such_o a_o devilish_a pride_n as_o they_o be_v pass_v receive_v any_o manner_n of_o nurture_n or_o instruction_n at_o all_o such_o of_o they_o as_o have_v any_o fear_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o fight_v so_o much_o the_o more_o against_o themselves_o to_o the_o end_n they_o be_v not_o carry_v away_o after_o the_o common_a fashion_n we_o shall_v see_v these_o young_a roister_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v man_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v from_o under_o the_o rod_n when_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o worthy_a to_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o child_n they_o be_v but_o as_o young_a cockchickin_n of_o three_o day_n hatch_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v great_a man_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v yet_o half_a a_o score_n year_n more_o under_o the_o rod_n and_o behold_v they_o be_v to_o their_o own_o seem_n full_o man_n and_o wherein_o in_o malapartness_n for_o they_o be_v as_o shameless_a as_o a_o harlot_n of_o the_o stew_n and_o they_o may_v not_o by_o their_o good_a will_n be_v under_o any_o more_o awe_n or_o correction_n all_o the_o world_n see_v this_o now_o see_v that_o this_o vice_n be_v common_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o contageous_a disease_n those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v any_o grace_n aught_o to_o bethink_v themselves_o well_o and_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o be_v not_o entangle_v with_o it_o for_o they_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o as_o other_o be_v if_o god_n hold_v they_o not_o by_o strong_a hand_n so_o then_o let_v god_n child_n stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n and_o assure_v themselves_o that_o if_o they_o be_v modest_a it_o be_v very_o much_o although_o it_o have_v not_o so_o gay_a a_o show_n and_o albeit_o that_o they_o which_o be_v desirous_a to_o set_v forth_o themselves_o despise_v they_o because_o

he_o and_o now_o behold_v a_o second_o point_n which_o zophar_n add_v which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o be_v desirous_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v favourable_a and_o merciful_a to_o we_o we_o must_v seek_v he_o with_o a_o pure_a and_o right_a mean_a mind_n and_o without_o hypocrisy_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o be_v declare_v here_o and_o afterward_o for_o a_o conclusion_n he_o add_v that_o

bethink_v we_o too_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o it_o and_o first_o of_o all_o whereas_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o god_n will_v be_v gracious_a to_o all_o such_o as_o seek_v he_o unfeigned_o the_o

that_o whensoever_o we_o seek_v god_n he_o will_v be_v at_o hand_n with_o we_o yea_o even_o with_o all_o grace_n and_o blessing_n but_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v the_o mean_a of_o seek_v god_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o have_v desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v merciful_a to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v be_v desirous_a to_o

there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v because_o that_o in_o that_o age_n the_o lust_n be_v see_v to_o be_v whote_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n how_o

nature_n which_o be_v always_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a do_v then_o cast_v up_o his_o great_a froth_n and_o have_v then_o most_o boil_a affection_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o strong_a

the_o fault_n of_o my_o youth_n he_o speak_v express_o of_o that_o age_n because_o he_o know_v he_o pass_v it_o not_o without_o offend_v god_n many_o way_n for_o there_o be_v great_a unadvisedness_n and_o unruly_a lust_n wherewith_o a_o young_a man_n be_v blind_v insomuch_o that_o he_o think_v that_o nothing_o be_v unpossible_a to_o he_o there_o be_v no_o staidness_n to_o rule_v he_o withal_o but_o there_o be_v excess_n of_o overween_a and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o so_o you_o see_v one_o reason_n why_o the_o sin_n of_o youth_n be_v speak_v of_o here_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o job_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o god_n bring_v all_o his_o sin_n too_o remembrance_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v frame_v a_o indictment_n of_o all_o the_o fault_n that_o he_o have_v do_v

he_o in_o that_o we_o see_v that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o forgive_v our_o old_a sin_n he_o receive_v we_o still_o to_o mercy_n for_o ever_o after_o in_o what_o state_n do_v god_n find_v we_o when_o we_o come_v out_o of_o our_o moother_n womb_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o naughtiness_n which_o be_v in_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o perceive_v but_o yet_o have_v we_o the_o seed_n thereof_o enclose_v in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o
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 the_o leanness_n of_o his_o body_n be_v as_o a_o wither_a and_o that_o in_o witness_n of_o god_n wrath_n he_o be_v full_a of_o wrinkle_n so_o as_o all_o his_o flesh_n be_v as_o good_a as_o half_o rot_v already_o and_o herein_o a_o man_n may_v see_v the_o token_n of_o a_o dreadful_a affliction_n and_o that_o god_n handle_v he_o not_o as_o he_o be_v common_o wont_a to_o handle_v those_o who_o he_o chastize_v with_o his_o rod_n but_o that_o his_o pain_n be_v excessive_a this_o therefore_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o matter_n that_o job_n intend_v to_o express_v and_o here_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o give_v we_o lookingglass_n in_o such_o as_o have_v have_v any_o excellent_a virtue_n to_o the_o end_n that_o in_o their_o person_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o according_a as_o he_o deal_v forth_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n thereafter_o also_o do_v he_o send_v they_o great_a affliction_n in_o themselves_o try_v they_o and_o chastyze_a they_o too_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n too_o make_v they_o the_o more_o esteem_v and_o too_o bring_v forth_o the_o more_o fruit_n as_o for_o example_n look_v upon_o abraham_n who_o be_v govern_v

but_o god_n spare_v we_o because_o he_o have_v not_o give_v we_o so_o excellent_a gift_n as_o he_o give_v to_o he_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o david_n behold_v david_n be_v not_o only_a

even_o of_o wonderment_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o how_o do_v god_n turmoil_n he_o we_o see_v what_o complaint_n he_o make_v not_o only_o as_o a_o despise_v and_o off_o shake_v person_n but_o also_o say_v that_o god_n hold_v he_o here_o on_o earth_n as_o upon_o a_o rack_n so_o as_o he_o be_v force_v too_o show_v the_o extremity_n that_o he_o be_v come_v unto_o for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o so_o often_o say_v he_o have_v pass_v through_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o he_o have_v be_v plunge_v into_o the_o deep_a gulf_n that_o he_o have_v feel_v all_o god_n dart_n that_o he_o have_v have_v all_o god_n arrow_n shoot_v at_o he_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n have_v lie_v heavy_a upon_o he_o that_o his_o very_a bone_n have_v be_v break_v and_o that_o there_o remain_v neither_o marye_o nor_o substance_n in_o he_o when_o we_o hear_v these_o kind_n of_o speech_n they_o seem_v too_o we_o too_o be_v but_o a_o mockery_n but_o god_n purpose_v too_o set_v we_o forth_o a_o lively_a picture_n that_o according_a too_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v we_o may_v know_v that_o after_o as_o god_n give_v great_a virtue_n unto_o man_n so_o do_v he_o exercise_v they_o lively_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o those_o virtue_n shall_v not_o be_v idle_a but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v know_v in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o chief_a temptation_n that_o ever_o the_o faithful_a endure_v be_v these_o spiritual_a battle_n as_o we_o term_v they_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o god_n summon_v they_o in_o their_o conscience_n so_o as_o he_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v his_o wrath_n by_o smite_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o wist_v not_o in_o what_o case_n they_o stand_v with_o he_o and_o this_o pludge_v they_o in_o deep_a distress_n than_o all_o the_o bodily_a adversity_n that_o can_v befall_v they_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o job_n use_v this_o similitude_n that_o god_n grate_v his_o tooth_n at_o he_o also_o we_o see_v how_o ezechias_n speak_v because_o he_o have_v pass_v through_o the_o same_o temptation_n god_n say_v he_o have_v play_v the_o lion_n with_o i_o likewise_o he_o have_v use_v the_o same_o similitude_n afore_o which_o he_o use_v here_o namely_o that_o he_o wist_v not_o whither_o he_o may_v speak_v or_o hold_v his_o peace_n for_o i_o be_o say_v he_o like_o a_o swallow_n i_o chatter_v and_o chirp_v but_o i_o want_v word_n to_o utter_v the_o grief_n of_o my_o misery_n i_o have_v no_o tongue_n to_o deliver_v it_o and_o hereupon_o he_o come_v afterward_o to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v crassh_v and_o break_v his_o bone_n as_o a_o lion_n that_o hold_v he_o in_o his_o paw_n and_o tooth_n but_o how_o can_v god_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n which_o be_v so_o cruel_a a_o beast_n no_o ezechias_n ment_fw-la not_o to_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o feel_n and_o of_o the_o terrible_a pain_n that_o he_o endure_v when_o god_n wrath_n be_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o a_o poor_a creature_n enter_v into_o doubt_v in_o what_o case_n he_o be_v with_o god_n and_o perceive_v not_o that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o so_o great_a distress_n and_o so_o afflight_v as_o if_o he_o be_v between_o a_o wolf_n paw_n we_o must_v not_o imagine_v it_o too_o be_v a_o small_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n too_o feel_v god_n wrath_n and_o especial_o too_o conceive_v that_o he_o be_v utter_o against_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o hold_v we_o up_o and_o to_o spare_v we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v such_o a_o burden_n except_o he_o give_v we_o shoulder_n to_o do_v it_o withal_o beside_o this_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o not_o to_o use_v such_o rigour_n against_o we_o we_o may_v feel_v he_o like_o a_o lion_n but_o rather_o to_o show_v himself_o a_o continual_a father_n and_o not_o punish_v we_o after_o our_o desert_n but_o make_v we_o always_o to_o feel_v his_o mercy_n by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o he_o have_v guide_v we_o in_o this_o life_n by_o his_o

before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n and_o father_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a that_o be_v touch_v with_o true_a

say_a text_n too_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o treasure_n of_o ezechias_n and_o of_o all_o his_o people_n isaiah_n therefore_o do_v well_o show_v there_o that_o which_o job_n mean_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o such_o as_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n teach_v by_o his_o word_n will_v not_o be_v wed_v to_o these_o small_a and_o fond_a subtlety_n but_o will_v be_v well_o ground_v in_o knowledge_n how_o to_o rule_v their_o life_n &_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o under_o the_o word_n treasure_n he_o show_v that_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n whereupon_o man_n must_v whole_o settle_v themselves_o as_o upon_o their_o full_a and_o perfect_v felicity_n and_o wherein_o they_o must_v take_v their_o full_a contentation_n and_o rest_n now_o we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v here_o be_v very_o true_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o man_n shall_v then_o be_v wise_a and_o skilful_a when_o they_o shall_v have_v profit_v so_o far_o as_o to_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o therewithal_o we_o must_v apply_v our_o whole_a study_n and_o set_v our_o whole_a mind_n upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o there_o which_o be_v not_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o sure_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o fear_n god_n and_o to_o give_v ourselves_o to_o his_o service_n unless_o we_o be_v acquaint_v with_o his_o goodness_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o psalm_n lord_n thou_o be_v good_a and_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o too_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v fear_v thou_o we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n until_o they_o have_v know_v god_n mercy_n and_o take_v hold_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n to_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o free_a heart_n and_o too_o seek_v he_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o shun_v god_n we_o be_v fierce_a against_o he_o and_o consequent_o rebel_n but_o man_n shall_v never_o conceive_v a_o right_n taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n except_o they_o be_v teach_v it_o by_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o place_n where_o true_a fear_n be_v for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o under_o this_o word_n fear_n the_o scripture_n mean_v only_o some_o bondage_n that_o man_n shall_v yield_v unto_o god_n as_o though_o they_o be_v enforce_v thereunto_o but_o this_o fear_n here_o import_v that_o we_o must_v be_v full_o mind_v to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n hand_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n know_v what_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n be_v and_o yield_v he_o such_o reverence_n as_o we_o may_v be_v true_o join_v unto_o he_o and_o undoubted_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o honour_n that_o belong_v unto_o he_o he_o not_o only_o allege_v his_o majesty_n nor_o only_o say_v that_o he_o be_v master_n and_o lord_n but_o therewithal_o also_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o father_n for_o he_o cry_v out_o by_o his_o prophet_n malachi_n if_o i_o be_v your_o master_n where_o be_v your_o fear_n and_o if_o i_o be_v your_o father_n where_o be_v your_o love_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o that_o place_n he_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o love_n and_o fear_n but_o afterward_o he_o show_v that_o those_o two_o word_n come_v both_o to_o one_o end_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o both_o as_o a_o father_n and_o a_o master_n we_o ought_v to_o love_v he_o howbeit_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o in_o all_o our_o life_n we_o desire_v nothing_o ne_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o obey_v he_o so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o that_o job_n be_v so_o far_o off_o here_o from_o intend_v to_o reject_v faith_n that_o he_o rather_o lead_v we_o unto_o it_o for_o that_o also_o be_v the_o point_n whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n when_o he_o

than_o we_o see_v that_o to_o fear_n god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sure_a of_o his_o goodness_n but_o here_o job_n have_v set_v down_o one_o particular_a for_o the_o whole_a purposely_o to_o

that_o he_o will_v bliss_n their_o honest_a behaviour_n and_o make_v they_o to_o profit_v more_o in_o two_o year_n than_o those_o overhast_a efellowe_n shall_v do_v in_o four_o we_o see_v what_o

away_o in_o this_o sentence_n true_a it_o be_v that_o modesty_n be_v a_o virtue_n convenient_a for_o all_o man_n but_o yet_o ought_v young_a folk_n to_o mark_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o they_o must_v yield_v honour_n to_o their_o elder_n acknowledge_v that_o they_o for_o their_o own_o part_n may_v have_v excessive_a passion_n which_o have_v need_v to_o be_v restrain_v by_o other_o man_n for_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_o stay_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o again_o they_o have_v not_o experience_n to_o be_v so_o skilful_a as_o be_v requisite_a furthermore_o when_o a_o young_a man_n have_v behave_v himself_o so_o modest_o he_o must_v in_o time_n convenient_a viter_fw-la the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o yea_o even_o though_o it_o be_v among_o old_a man_n for_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n let_v not_o but_o that_o when_o old_a man_n discharge_v not_o their_o duty_n young_a man_n may_v supply_v the_o room_n in_o that_o behalf_n yea_o even_o to_o ehe_fw-ge shame_n of_o those_o that_o have_v live_v long_o and_o misspend_v the_o time_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o or_o rather_o utter_o lose_v it_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mean_v which_o we_o have_v to_o hold_v be_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o young_a folk_n bear_v to_o their_o elder_n must_v not_o hinder_v the_o continual_a maintenance_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v honour_v &_o vice_n suppress_v for_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o elder_a sort_n shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o god_n spirit_n or_o else_o lewd_a person_n that_o shall_v have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o craft_n and_o unfaithfulness_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v be_v wilful_a and_o brainless_a now_o in_o such_o caces_fw-la ought_v young_a folk_n to_o be_v hold_v so_o under_o the_o yoke_n that_o they_o shall_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o elder_n be_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a no._n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o this_o modesty_n import_v not_o that_o young_a man_n shall_v become_v sheepishe_a to_o discern_v and_o know_v nothing_o but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o they_o presume_v not_o of_o themselves_o to_o skirmish_n and_o cast_v their_o froth_n before_o their_o time_n let_v they_o hearken_v let_v they_o be_v teachable_a let_v they_o be_v always_o willing_a to_o keep_v silence_n when_o any_o good_a matter_n be_v in_o debate_v and_o special_o let_v they_o beware_v of_o step_v into_o other_o man_n place_n that_o be_v do_v if_o they_o see_v the_o elder_a sort_n show_v not_o good_a example_n special_o that_o they_o pervert_v the_o good_a by_o turn_v it_o into_o evil_n then_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v mete_v that_o god_n spirit_n shall_v show_v itself_o where_o it_o be_v like_o as_o in_o our_o time_n they_o that_o have_v be_v mislead_v in_o the_o superstition_n of_o popery_n the_o long_a they_o have_v live_v in_o the_o world_n have_v still_o the_o lesser_a knowledge_n now_o to_o tarry_v till_o god_n shall_v serve_v his_o turn_n by_o they_o i_o mean_v common_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a these_o than_o be_v age_a man_n that_o have_v have_v long_a experience_n but_o what_o for_o that_o they_o have_v be_v plunge_v in_o darkness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o pureness_n of_o religion_n what_o then_o can_v such_o age_a man_n bring_v but_o only_o a_o great_a wilfulness_n for_o they_o have_v be_v so_o sape_v in_o their_o error_n and_o so_o whole_o give_v unto_o they_o as_o there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n of_o any_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o they_o now_o if_o god_n listen_v to_o call_v young_a man_n to_o publish_v his_o word_n abroad_o it_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v so_o bridle_a that_o young_a man_n may_v not_o speak_v and_o old_a man_n be_v content_v to_o hear_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o like_a as_o god_n call_v some_o of_o all_o sort_n so_o have_v it_o common_o be_v his_o will_n to_o be_v serve_v by_o the_o elder_a sort_n nevertheless_o he_o have_v declare_v also_o that_o his_o truth_n be_v not_o tie_v unto_o age_n so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o what_o modesty_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o all_o man_n general_o and_o special_o in_o young_a man_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o must_v yield_v themselves_o quiet_o too_o learn_v so_o far_o as_o occasion_n shall_v be_v give_v they_o and_o not_o desire_v to_o vaunt_v themselves_o nor_o be_v lead_v with_o fond_a long_n to_o make_v a_o show_n

have_v need_v too_o be_v guide_v and_o govern_v by_o those_o that_o be_v of_o more_o experience_n this_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v restrain_v from_o judge_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o

be_v so_o for_o discretion_n ought_v to_o be_v match_v with_o zeal_n according_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n contain_v both_o of_o they_o in_o he_o so_o than_o if_o there_o be_v modesty_n in_o man_n there_o must_v be_v also_o zeal_n and_o discretion_n and_o we_o must_v not_o only_o not_o be_v bridle_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o as_o have_v live_v long_o but_o also_o if_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v bring_v against_o we_o yet_o ought_v not_o antiquity_n too_o prejudice_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v rightful_a and_o necessary_a as_o how_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o if_o all_o the_o old_a man_n in_o the_o popedom_n have_v conspire_v against_o the_o gospel_n and_o will_v have_v other_o man_n to_o stand_v to_o their_o accustom_a

although_o that_o the_o old_a man_n set_v themselves_o against_o they_o and_o will_v have_v all_o other_o man_n to_o hold_v themselves_o to_o their_o custom_n because_o they_o have_v maintain_v the_o evil_a a_o long_a time_n for_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v better_a grace_n ought_v to_o step_v up_o against_o they_o howbeit_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o pass_v further_o and_o if_o any_o

we_o see_v now_o that_o to_o be_v modest_a it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o be_v blind_a buzzard_n but_o to_o keep_v a_o mean_a and_o measure_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o eliu_n mean_v by_o add_v i_o

when_o man_n choose_v governor_n in_o a_o city_n or_o in_o a_o country_n if_o they_o shall_v take_v young_a light_n head_v and_o brainless_a fool_n which_o have_v no_o skill_n to_o govern_v their_o

it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v the_o same_o order_n in_o estimation_n nevertheless_o there_o must_v no_o general_a rule_n be_v make_v of_o it_o for_o oftentimes_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o

gosling_n and_o stand_v as_o if_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o abash_a let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n punish_v such_o fayntheartednesse_n and_o give_v they_o not_o such_o courage_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v because_o they_o call_v not_o on_o he_o nor_o hang_v upon_o he_o for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o think_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n able_a enough_o to_o givethem_n strength_n so_o then_o this_o unbelief_n show_v itself_o now_o adays_o in_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o good_a case_n it_o shall_v be_v thrust_v under_o foot_n you_o see_v that_o the_o wicked_a have_v courage_n enough_o and_o too_o much_o to_o set_v forth_o their_o lie_n and_o to_o withstand_v the_o come_n forth_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o why_o for_o the_o wicked_a fail_v not_o too_o apply_v too_o strain_v they_o self_n too_o the_o uttermost_a too_o overthrow_v all_o thing_n and_o too_o bring_v matter_n to_o confusion_n &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o no_o man_n set_v himself_o against_o they_o at_o leastwise_o with_o such_o courage_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o why_o for_o such_o as_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v well_o and_o have_v some_o affection_n be_v notwithstanding_o faint_a of_o belief_n but_o sure_o if_o they_o trust_v in_o god_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v confound_v as_o they_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v when_o eliu_n taunt_v job_n friend_n for_o be_v confound_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o thereby_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o have_v a_o evil_a case_n and_o that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o wrong_a match_n against_o job._n and_o he_o add_v that_o he_o also_o will_v speak_v in_o his_o turn_n this_o word_n also_o aught_o to_o be_v well_o weigh_v for_o thereby_o eliu_n betoken_v that_o he_o put_v forth_o his_o advice_n in_o due_a time_n why_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o because_o he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v yield_v reverence_n to_o the_o age_a for_o otherwise_o it_o have_v be_v a_o pervert_v of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n therefore_o it_o behove_v this_o modesty_n to_o go_v before_o and_o that_o eliu_n shall_v suffer_v his_o elder_n to_o speak_v and_o he_o to_o hear_v they_o that_o do_v for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n give_v he_o the_o grace_n to_o discern_v the_o case_n better_o than_o they_o have_v do_v he_o also_o speak_v in_o his_o turn_n we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o run_v not_o a_o head_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o thrust_v not_o himself_o into_o the_o matter_n at_o adventure_n but_o hold_v his_o peace_n till_o convenient_a time_n serve_v and_o then_o speak_v and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v very_o well_o for_o we_o know_v that_o in_o god_n church_n all_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v handle_v orderly_a and_o comely_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v therefore_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n requisite_a in_o the_o manner_n of_o teach_v first_o that_o order_n be_v observe_v and_o second_o that_o the_o order_n be_v match_v with_o honesty_n so_o as_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v comely_a and_o convenient_a see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o example_n of_o eliu_n and_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o the_o doctrine_n that_o saint_n paul_n give_v we_o in_o the_o say_a text_n which_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o disorder_n amongst_o we_o according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o another_o strain_n of_o the_o text_n by_o i_o allege_v that_o although_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o many_o prophet_n in_o his_o church_n and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o which_o have_v skill_n too_o speak_v yea_o and_o also_o wherewith_o to_o teach_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v not_o for_o they_o all_o to_o utter_v forth_o what_o be_v give_v they_o for_o it_o behove_v that_o there_o be_v order_n and_o measure_n and_o also_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a honest_a comeliness_n to_o be_v keep_v that_o therefore_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o in_o the_o example_n of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v yea_o but_o that_o be_v when_o he_o see_v that_o thing_n be_v misorder_a and_o that_o job_n friend_n have_v disguise_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o they_o have_v maintain_v a_o evil_a and_o false_a principle_n for_o although_o they_o use_v fair_a and_o apparent_a reason_n to_o colour_v the_o matter_n with_o all_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o foundation_n whereupon_o they_o build_v be_v not_o good_a and_o job_n also_o on_o his_o side_n although_o his_o case_n be_v just_a yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v handle_v it_o amiss_o and_o use_v many_o wander_a word_n therefore_o after_o that_o eliu_n have_v hearken_v quiet_o now_o when_o he_o see_v that_o god_n give_v he_o a_o entrance_n and_o access_n he_o use_v it_o and_o beside_o this_o he_o be_v also_o constrain_v to_o do_v so_o according_a as_o he_o show_v when_o he_o add_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v grieve_v and_o that_o he_o be_v like_a to_o a_o cask_n full_a of_o new_a wine_n if_o a_o man_n put_v new_a wine_n into_o a_o cask_n and_o close_v it_o up_o and_o give_v it_o no_o vent_n the_o cask_n burst_v when_o the_o wine_n boil_v even_o so_o say_v eliu_n that_o his_o mind_n be_v shut_v up_o as_o if_o a_o cask_n be_v full_a of_o new_a wine_n and_o can_v hold_v no_o long_o but_o must_v needs_o burst_v out_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o necessity_n constrain_v he_o to_o put_v forth_o his_o opinion_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o case_n which_o have_v be_v evil_o debate_v may_v now_o be_v order_v by_o reason_n and_o because_o eliu_n speak_v here_o with_o great_a

see_v that_o god_n condemn_v he_o not_o what_o mortal_a man_n shall_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o authority_n to_o judge_v above_o god_n therefore_o that_o be_v great_a folly_n moreover_o this_o must_v not_o be_v think_v so_o strange_a a_o thing_n for_o we_o must_v not_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o eliu_n be_v not_o as_o one_o of_o the_o prophet_n that_o be_v in_o god_n church_n after_o that_o god_n have_v publish_v his_o law_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n he_o promise_v also_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n shall_v never_o be_v destitute_a of_o prophet_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o deutr._n thou_o shall_v not_o go_v to_o sorcerer_n nor_o soothsayers_n thou_o shall_v not_o seek_v for_o such_o revelation_n as_o the_o heathen_a do_v

they_o have_v no_o prophet_n nor_o any_o certain_a doctrine_n to_o lead_v and_o guide_v they_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o you_o say_v god_n to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v always_o

as_o we_o fall_v to_o discourse_v of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v both_o above_o and_o beneath_o moreover_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v yet_o high_o

the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v here_o concern_v the_o nature_n of_o eagle_n it_o may_v be_v take_v that_o their_o young_a one_o do_v suck_v blood_n anon_o after_o that_o they_o be_v uncloze_v

of_o the_o philosopher_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o god_n do_v here_o show_v we_o the_o nature_n of_o eagle_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o be_v know_v and_o he_o use_v as_o you_o will_v say_v that_o gross_a fashion_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o cloak_n nor_o excuse_v of_o ignorance_n look_v i_o then_o upon_o the_o eagle_n that_o be_v breed_v to_o the_o pray_v yea_o even_o from_o the_o shell_n they_o have_v the_o property_n of_o suck_a blood_n &_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o a_o bird_n shall_v so_o feed_v and_o nourish_v itself_o with_o blood_n behold_v what_o a_o cruelty_n be_v put_v into_o they_o needs_o therefore_o must_v they_o have_v that_o nature_n give_v they_o of_o another_o and_o whence_o come_v the_o diversity_n that_o be_v between_o the_o bird_n that_o live_v by_o pray_v and_o the_o other_o fowl_n must_v not_o that_o difference_n be_v of_o god_n put_v who_o thereby_o show_v we_o such_o sign_n of_o his_o providence_n as_o we_o be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o govern_v &_o order_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o as_o the_o bird_n make_v not_o their_o own_o body_n so_o also_o they_o give_v not_o

thus_o you_o see_v the_o chief_a point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o text_n and_o therefore_o a_o man_n need_v not_o to_o go_v to_o school_n for_o the_o matter_n let_v he_o do_v no_o more_o but_o open_a his_o eye_n i_o meene_z even_o the_o very_a idiot_n for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o be_v know_v to_o all_o man_n &_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v

as_o they_o perceive_v any_o dead_a body_n too_o be_v and_o that_o they_o smell_v the_o dead_a carcase_n a_o far_o of_o and_o spy_v out_o their_o prey_n too_o make_v their_o flight_n thitherward_o now_o when_o we_o see_v such_o thing_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v put_v a_o secret_a move_n into_o they_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o eagle_n shall_v have_v it_o of_o themselves_o but_o that_o g●d_n have_v enure_v they_o to_o it_o &_o imprint_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o a_o thing_n in_o they_o whereby_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v wonderful_a so_o then_o when_o we_o look_v about_o we_o &_o behold_v the_o diversity_n of_o work_n we_o be_v enforce_v spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o creator_n or_o maker_n which_o bear_v
