cause_v he_o to_o say_v that_o when_o he_o have_v punish_v they_o in_o their_o own_o person_n the_o same_o rigour_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o extend_v even_o unto_o their_o posterity_n yea_o and_o that_o even_o after_o their_o decease_n he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o show_v how_o sore_o he_o hate_v and_o abhor_v they_o by_o punish_v their_o offspring_n sith_o it_o be_v say_v so_o needs_o ought_v the_o wicked_a to_o be_v terrible_o afraid_a yea_o though_o they_o be_v hard_a than_o stone_n how_o now_o may_v they_o say_v how_o great_a will_v god_n vengeance_n be_v upon_o we_o see_v that_o even_o our_o child_n shall_v be_v wrap_v in_o it_o and_o that_o the_o fragment_n thereof_o shall_v fly_v to_o our_o posterity_n even_o after_o our_o death_n if_o our_o issue_n must_v perish_v through_o our_o fault_n how_o great_a and_o terrible_a shall_v our_o own_o destruction_n be_v thus_o than_o you_o see_v why_o our_o lord_n do_v express_o threaten_v the_o wicked_a to_o punish_v they_o even_o in_o their_o child_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v touch_v near_o the_o quick_a with_o fear_n see_v that_o man_n be_v so_o dull_a and_o hard-hearted_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o let_v we_o come_v now_o too_o that_o which_o be_v touch_v in_o the_o beginning_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n justice_n may_v be_v see_v how_o be_v it_o not_o always_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a do_v soon_o melt_v away_o and_o if_o they_o have_v good_n those_o wanze_n away_o too_o and_o when_o they_o seem_v too_o have_v wherewith_o too_o feed_v yea_o and_o too_o fat_a themselves_o thorough_o man_n be_v abash_v to_o see_v how_o sudden_o it_o waste_v away_o and_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v how_o but_o that_o it_o be_v see_v to_o be_v so_o so_o than_o if_o we_o look_v wise_o upon_o god_n judgement_n we_o may_v well_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n will_v punish_v the_o wicked_a in_o their_o offspring_n look_v upon_o a_o man_n that_o shall_v have_v endure_v great_a unquietness_n and_o pain_n all_o his_o life_n long_o too_o gather_v good_n in_o deed_n he_o heap_v up_o a_o great_a hoard_v and_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o his_o riches_n shall_v never_o fail_v in_o his_o successor_n and_o yet_o all_o be_v consume_v to_o less_o than_o nothing_o to_o who_o or_o too_o what_o cause_n may_v such_o change_v be_v impute_v let_v we_o conclude_v that_o god_n put_v too_o his_o hand_n wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v blind_v when_o our_o lord_n work_v after_o that_o fashion_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o take_v warning_n by_o example_n that_o we_o be_v not_o carry_v away_o with_o covetousness_n ne_o imagine_v that_o man_n welfare_n consist_v in_o much_o gather_n but_o rather_o let_v we_o make_v account_n only_o of_o god_n blessing_n as_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o nourish_v we_o and_o will_v continue_v to_o nourish_v our_o child_n also_o if_o god_n reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o feed_v we_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o continue_v it_o still_o and_o that_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v perceive_v he_o to_o be_v a_o love_a father_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v our_o child_n after_o our_o decease_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o wicked_a do_v take_v so_o great_a pain_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o the_o riches_n that_o they_o heap_v up_o shall_v be_v a_o occasion_n to_o cast_v their_o chlidren_n into_o deep_a destruction_n than_o their_o father_n and_o when_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v do_v marvellous_o well_o in_o gather_v much_o they_o do_v but_o twine_v the_o halter_n that_o shall_v draw_v their_o child_n to_o destruction_n for_o have_v they_o make_v they_o too_o learn_v but_o some_o simple_a handicrafte_n that_o they_o may_v have_v walk_v conscionable_o the_o same_o will_v have_v be_v a_o good_a heritage_n to_o they_o but_o when_o they_o leave_v they_o possession_n they_o become_v so_o blind_a with_o they_o that_o they_o give_v themselves_o to_o all_o naughtiness_n and_o so_o their_o riches_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o occasion_n to_o make_v they_o abhor_v both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n for_o god_n can_v not_o bear_v their_o pride_n and_o man_n also_o be_v provoke_v against_o they_o because_o that_o upon_o trust_n of_o their_o riches_n they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o do_v every_o man_n wrong_a and_o annoyance_n god_n therefore_o be_v force_v to_o bend_v himself_o against_o they_o again_o if_o they_o be_v accustom_v too_o dainty_a fare_n and_o drunkenness_n they_o can_v not_o get_v out_o of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v a_o cause_n to_o make_v they_o give_v themselves_o over_o to_o all_o evil_a in_o the_o end_n now_o look_v as_o the_o wickedness_n increase_v and_o augment_v so_o also_o must_v god_n vengeance_n grow_v hot_a and_o ripe_a then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o we_o see_v such_o change_n and_o that_o the_o good_n which_o be_v wicked_o get_v by_o the_o father_n be_v scatter_v and_o waste_v away_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o child_n thereby_o god_n show_v we_o that_o his_o denounce_v of_o such_o threat_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o therewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o say_v already_o that_o that_o be_v not_o continual_a for_o diverse_a time_n god_n take_v away_o the_o good_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o of_o their_o child_n so_o as_o they_o be_v quite_o strip_v and_o why_o do_v he_o so_o even_o for_o some_o reason_n that_o be_v secret_a to_o himself_o and_o unknown_a to_o we_o nevertheless_o we_o know_v that_o the_o same_o be_v for_o their_o welfare_n for_o by_o that_o mean_a he_o intend_v to_o inure_v they_o too_o patience_n or_o too_o take_v away_o the_o occasion_n of_o fall_v asleep_a here_o below_o or_o else_o to_o be_v short_a he_o mind_v as_o it_o be_v too_o minister_v some_o purgation_n to_o they_o or_o to_o let_v they_o blood_n because_o he_o see_v well_o that_o the_o abundance_n which_o they_o possess_v will_v be_v as_o a_o noy_n some_o superfluity_n to_o they_o when_o a_o surgeon_n let_v a_o man_n blood_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v to_o his_o hurt_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v the_o selfsame_o way_n whereby_o a_o thief_n murther_v a_o man_n but_o yet_o the_o let_v of_o he_o blood_n by_o the_o physician_n be_v for_o the_o cure_n of_o his_o disease_n and_o for_o a_o good_a cause_n even_o so_o it_o happen_v oftentimes_o that_o god_n bereave_v the_o righteous_a man_n of_o the_o good_n and_o substance_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o or_o else_o that_o he_o impoverish_v their_o child_n and_o his_o so_o do_v be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v take_v it_o for_o any_o punishment_n but_o clean_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v a_o purgation_n that_o he_o use_v towards_o his_o child_n and_o thereby_o also_o he_o draw_v they_o back_o from_o be_v entangle_v in_o these_o worldly_a good_n lest_o the_o same_o may_v be_v a_o occasion_n to_o bring_v they_o and_o all_o their_o offspring_n to_o destruction_n you_o see_v that_o the_o execution_n of_o god_n judgement_n where_o of_o we_o have_v speak_v heretofore_o be_v not_o continual_a and_o therefore_o we_o can_v not_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o without_o exception_n but_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o so_o often_o already_o and_o which_o shall_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n follow_v which_o be_v that_o god_n judgement_n be_v not_o always_o visible_a so_o as_o we_o may_v point_n they_o out_o to_o say_v god_n deal_v always_o after_o this_o manner_n so_o then_o when_o so_o ever_o god_n punish_v any_o man_n be_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n or_o in_o his_o offspring_n let_v we_o look_v well_o upon_o such_o example_n that_o we_o may_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o they_o and_o if_o he_o wink_v at_o other_o and_o punish_v they_o not_o at_o the_o first_o let_v we_o tarry_v patient_o till_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n appear_v for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o night_n by_o reason_n that_o thing_n be_v so_o dark_a but_o at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n all_o book_n and_o register_n shall_v be_v lay_v open_a and_o nothing_o shall_v be_v hide_v any_o more_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o tarry_v patient_o for_o that_o day_n furthermore_o if_o god_n scourage_v we_o yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v suppose_v that_o he_o hate_v we_o and_o persecute_v we_o as_o a_o mortal_a enemy_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o humble_v

punish_v whoredom_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o all_o cleanliness_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v god_n will_v that_o man_n shall_v behold_v and_o consider_v his_o judgement_n special_o when_o they_o be_v manifest_a a_o man_n may_v well_o say_v sometime_o that_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o why_o for_o he_o have_v punish_v such_o a_o one_o yea_o even_o because_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o wicked_a and_o dissolute_a life_n he_o have_v execute_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o such_o a_o country_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v full_a of_o all_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n we_o may_v well_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n and_o so_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v how_o be_v it_o not_o always_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o he_o hold_v not_o on_o all_o by_o one_o rule_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v come_v up_o high_o and_o say_v that_o god_n be_v always_o righteous_a how_o so_o ever_o he_o handle_v man_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o in_o these_o day_n we_o shall_v see_v some_o beast_n who_o notwithstanding_o will_v ween_v themselves_o to_o be_v

why_o for_o handle_v every_o man_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n as_o i_o touch_v afore_o and_o too_o bring_v this_o too_o pass_v they_o be_v fain_o to_o grant_v i_o a_o free_a will_n and_o god_n election_n must_v be_v overthrow_v and_o bring_v too_o naught_o for_o to_o say_v that_o god_n choose_v who_o he_o list_v and_o call_v they_o to_o salvation_n through_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o that_o he_o forsake_v the_o residue_n they_o think_v it_o very_o strange_a to_o be_v speak_v because_o they_o can_v not_o comprehend_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o these_o rogue_n that_o counterfeit_v to_o be_v great_a clerk_n overturn_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o prove_v god_n righteousness_n even_o after_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o why_o be_v that_o by_o cause_n they_o can_v not_o mount_v so_o high_a as_o too_o know_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o comparison_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o beware_v of_o another_o extremity_n which_o be_v faulty_a for_o we_o shall_v see_v some_o of_o as_o slanderous_a conversation_n as_o may_v be_v who_o if_o they_o perceive_v their_o lewdness_n to_o be_v discover_v fall_v by_o and_o by_o to_o say_n as_o for_o i_o i_o be_o a_o honest_a man_n yea_o to_o the_o worldward_n i_o confess_v every_o man_n be_v a_o sinner_n to_o godward_n and_o so_o will_v he_o shroud_v himself_o under_o the_o common_a cloak_n look_v upon_o a_o whorehunter_n that_o have_v haunt_v the_o stew_n half_a a_o score_n year_n look_v upon_o a_o blasphemer_n that_o cease_v not_o to_o rail_v at_o god_n and_o to_o spite_v he_o look_v upon_o a_o villain_n that_o despise_v god_n and_o all_o religion_n look_v upon_o a_o unthrift_n or_o a_o unconscionable_a person_n that_o seek_v nought_o else_o but_o to_o be_v catch_v without_o faithfulness_n or_o honest_a deal_n and_o such_o dog_n will_v say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o be_v sinner_n before_o god_n for_o no_o man_n be_v righteous_a they_o go_v no_o further_o with_o their_o fault_n but_o so_o which_o be_v so_o hideous_a as_o may_v be_v but_o shroud_v themselves_o under_o the_o cloak_n of_o natural_a infirmity_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o can_v be_v equal_a with_o god_n they_o think_v they_o have_v do_v very_o much_o in_o yield_v such_o a_o confession_n but_o i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o have_v both_o these_o two_o point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v righteous_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o that_o man_n must_v not_o plead_v nor_o dispute_v with_o he_o whosoever_o they_o be_v or_o what_o so_o ever_o they_o be_v able_a to_o allege_v but_o must_v be_v abash_v both_o great_a and_o small_a lo_o here_o one_o special_a point_n the_o other_o be_v that_o each_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o eye_n particular_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v sorry_a for_o his_o fault_n and_o abhor_v they_o and_o condemn_v they_o and_o that_o hereupon_o we_o shall_v also_o consider_v the_o vengeance_n and_o punishment_n which_o god_n send_v upon_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o fare_v the_o better_a thereby_o if_o we_o be_v beat_v with_o his_o rod_n let_v every_o of_o we_o say_v it_o be_v good_a right_n i_o have_v well_o deserve_v it_o if_o god_n teach_v we_o at_o other_o man_n cost_n so_o as_o he_o chastize_v other_o man_n before_o our_o eye_n let_v the_o same_o touch_v we_o and_o let_v we_o apply_v such_o example_n to_o our_o own_o instruction_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o prevent_v the_o matter_n that_o god_n be_v not_o compel_v to_o fall_v upon_o we_o because_o we_o have_v not_o profit_v by_o the_o chastisement_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o other_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o to_o put_v in_o ure_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o lay_v forth_o of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o by_o job._n i_o know_v for_o a_o truth_n say_v he_o that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v justify_v with_o god._n so_o it_o be_v set_v down_o but_o this_o word_n with_o import_v as_o much_o as_o to_o godward_o and_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o great_a weight_n if_o a_o man_n know_v it_o well_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n justify_v themselves_o so_o bold_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o presume_v so_o much_o of_o themselves_o that_o they_o set_v so_o much_o store_n by_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o full_a of_o pride_n what_o else_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o only_o their_o stay_n here_o below_o that_o every_o man_n compare_v himself_o with_o his_o neighbour_n you_o see_v then_o whereunto_o we_o run_v and_o you_o see_v also_o why_o saint_n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o great_a judge_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o friend_n man_n beguile_v themselves_o when_o they_o make_v such_o comparison_n as_o these_o what_o i_o see_v other_o man_n live_v no_o better_a than_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o have_v fault_n in_o i_o so_o have_v other_o man_n in_o they_o too_o you_o see_v then_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n condemn_v not_o themselves_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o rather_o soothe_v themselves_o in_o justify_v their_o own_o case_n but_o here_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v justify_v with_o god_n what_o must_v we_o then_o do_v as_o oft_o as_o any_o man_n speak_v to_o we_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o lay_v they_o afore_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v that_o we_o must_v not_o hold_v our_o eye_n here_o below_o but_o look_v up_o to_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n where_o we_o have_v our_o account_v to_o make_v we_o must_v know_v the_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n of_o god_n therefore_o let_v every_o man_n think_v thereof_o and_o then_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v waken_v to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o out_o of_o our_o folly_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o of_o these_o vain_a imagination_n and_o dotage_n that_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o rock_n sinner_n asleep_a have_v this_o be_v observe_v there_o shall_v be_v none_o of_o the_o debate_n that_o be_v now_o adays_o in_o christendom_n about_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n the_o papist_n can_v not_o be_v persuade_v of_o this_o that_o we_o say_v namely_o that_o we_o become_v righteous_a through_o the_o mere_a favour_n of_o god_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o why_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o merit_n say_v they_o and_o of_o the_o good_a work_n wherein_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n consist_v and_o why_o do_v the_o papist_n stand_v so_o upon_o their_o merit_n and_o why_o be_v they_o so_o besot_v with_o they_o but_o because_o they_o look_v not_o up_o to_o god_n they_o dispute_v in_o their_o school_n whether_o good_a work_n deserve_v recompense_n and_o wage_n as_o well_o as_o evil_a work_n deserve_v punishment_n for_o they_o be_v thing_n flat_o contrary_a if_o man_n sin_n deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v then_o must_v there_o also_o be_v some_o reward_n for_o virtue_n for_o otherwise_o god_n justice_n shall_v not_o be_v indifferent_a yea_o to_o our_o seem_n and_o so_o
a_o great_a grace_n than_o can_v be_v believe_v to_o note_v and_o mark_v out_o god_n secret_n that_o be_v on_o high_a yet_o have_v they_o miss_v of_o the_o principal_a point_n for_o they_o have_v not_o know_v god_n you_o see_v how_o they_o be_v wanze_v away_o in_o their_o own_o thought_n but_o evil_o have_v they_o profit_v to_o who_o god_n have_v be_v so_o gracious_a as_o too_o lift_v they_o above_o the_o sky_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o have_v measure_v they_o as_o a_o man_n may_v measure_v a_o plat_n of_o land_n or_o a_o house_n to_o say_v it_o be_v so_o many_o pace_n or_o so_o many_o foot_n then_o like_a as_o a_o man_n may_v measure_v some_o place_n here_o below_o so_o have_v the_o philosopher_n measure_v all_o the_o space_n that_o be_v between_o the_o planet_n and_o also_o the_o star_n themselves_o to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o have_v always_o be_v attain_v unto_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n how_o have_v they_o know_v god_n who_o show_v himself_o open_o in_o all_o his_o creature_n so_o little_o have_v their_o knowledge_n lead_v they_o to_o the_o glorify_v of_o he_o that_o have_v rather_o darken_v his_o majesty_n by_o it_o we_o see_v then_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o take_v another_o way_n and_o whereas_o here_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o sun_n and_o of_o the_o planet_n and_o of_o the_o star_n it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v only_o know_v these_o natural_a reason_n to_o rest_v there_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v guide_v unto_o god_n to_o honour_n he_o and_o to_o do_v he_o homage_n when_o we_o behold_v the_o glory_n that_o he_o show_v and_o utter_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o visible_a creature_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_n but_o what_o we_o see_v that_o now_o adays_o man_n wit_n wander_v and_o become_v fond_a as_o at_o all_o time_n heretofore_o and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o for_o although_o we_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o star_n yet_o we_o need_v to_o go_v far_o to_o perceive_v what_o god_n be_v let_v we_o abide_v still_o in_o ourselves_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o seventeen_o of_o the_o act_n let_v we_o but_o look_v every_o man_n into_o himself_o and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o we_o have_v not_o any_o move_a nor_o any_o power_n in_o we_o but_o only_o by_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o comprehend_v he_o not_o if_o we_o say_v oh_o i_o have_v no_o eye_n we_o need_v but_o too_o grope_v say_v saint_n paul_n for_o he_o use_v the_o same_o word_n as_o a_o blind_a man_n that_o go_v grope_v in_o the_o dark_a though_o we_o can_v but_o grope_v with_o our_o eye_n shut_v yet_o will_v god_n spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n make_v we_o feel_v what_o his_o power_n his_o wisdom_n his_o goodness_n and_o his_o righteousness_n be_v but_o what_o we_o continue_v blockish_a and_o beastly_a and_o utter_o witless_a true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v sharpwitted_a enough_o in_o vain_a and_o trifle_a thing_n but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o our_o salvation_n there_o we_o fail_v there_o we_o be_v worse_a than_o the_o brute_n beast_n that_o have_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a wit._n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o these_o sentence_n wherein_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o look_v up_o to_o heavenward_o we_o ought_v to_o bethink_v we_o thus_o behold_v it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v give_v we_o eye_n to_o perceive_v this_o goodly_a order_n and_o if_o we_o look_v downward_o we_o aught_o to_o think_v what_o be_v it_o that_o show_v itself_o every_o where_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o show_v himself_o open_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o

until_o we_o have_v comprehend_v the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o honour_n he_o i_o say_v to_o honour_n he_o as_o he_o be_v worthy_a for_o man_n acquit_v themselves_o light_o and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v some_o ceremony_n unto_o god_n they_o think_v he_o ought_v to_o hold_v himself_o content_v with_o it_o but_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o

as_o wax_n do_v against_o the_o sun_n then_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o that_o be_v so_o frail_a first_o let_v we_o be_v abash_v at_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o afterward_o let_v we_o

i_o shall_v say_v i_o can_v suppose_v that_o god_n do_v hear_v i_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v answer_v i_o for_o i_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o this_o present_a affliction_n wherewith_o i_o be_o so_o

here_o too_o plead_v with_o god_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o second_o too_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n and_o outrage_n thus_o see_v you_o two_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v very_o strange_a if_o job_n intent_n be_v not_o know_v but_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v he_o of_o his_o right_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o god_n use_v a_o tyrannical_a manner_n of_o deal_n with_o he_o neither_o mean_v he_o that_o himself_o be_v so_o righteous_a that_o god_n have_v not_o cause_v too_o punish_v he_o yet_o more_o rigorous_o but_o rather_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ordinanarie_n righteousness_n that_o be_v write_v of_o in_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o such_o as_o have_v condemn_v he_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v job_n friend_n go_v no_o further_a than_o thus_o namely_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o be_v the_o father_n and_o saviour_n of_o good_a man_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o job_n be_v a_o wicked_a man_n and_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o his_o life_n be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o why_o for_o man_n see_v he_o be_v punish_v with_o extremity_n if_o you_o mark_v all_o the_o adversity_n that_o happen_v common_o in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o this_o be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v conclude_v that_o god_n have_v find_v this_o man_n to_o be_v a_o outrageous_a sinner_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n loe_o what_o conclusion_n job_n friend_n make_v but_o they_o deal_v yet_o worse_a for_o they_o rest_v upon_o the_o

for_o the_o server_n of_o god_n after_o death_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v think_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v punish_v any_o where_o else_o than_o here_o this_o be_v a_o overth_z wart_n expound_v of_o god_n law_n for_o although_o our_o lord_n threaten_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v offender_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o restrain_v himself_o to_o any_o certain_a time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o be_v ordinary_o see_v in_o this_o present_a life_n howbeit_o not_o continual_o we_o must_v not_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o without_o exception_n for_o that_o be_v a_o

ourselves_o as_o upon_o our_o neighbour_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v construe_v god_n love_n towards_o we_o according_a to_o his_o present_a handle_n of_o we_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o despair_v at_o every_o blow_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o he_o punish_v we_o we_o be_v always_o well_o worthy_a of_o it_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o shall_v imagine_v that_o god_n

so_o you_o see_v we_o shall_v be_v utter_o undo_v wherefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o know_v that_o god_n afflict_v of_o man_n be_v not_o always_o for_o their_o sin_n but_o because_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o exercise_v their_o patience_n to_o tame_v their_o fleshly_a lust_n to_o bring_v they_o whole_o under_o his_o awe_n &_o to_o teach_v they_o that_o in_o this_o present_a

will_v be_v enough_o to_o cast_v as_o many_o of_o we_o in_o despair_n as_o do_v suffer_v adversity_n like_v as_o it_o be_v not_o long_o of_o job_n friend_n that_o they_o utter_o overwhelm_v he_o not_o by_o stand_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o god_n punish_v he_o for_o some_o great_a sin_n for_o job_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o such_o word_n may_v have_v be_v catch_v with_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v know_v what_o to_o do_v else_o than_o to_o have_v take_v himself_o for_o a_o damn_a &_o curse_a man_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o also_o shall_v do_v be_v there_o no_o more_o but_o this_o pride_n in_o condemn_v of_o innocent_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o bliss_v be_v that_o

and_o consequent_o he_o shall_v usurp_v the_o authority_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o so_o let_v we_o come_v again_o to_o that_o which_o job_n say_v now_o which_o be_v god_n have_v

that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o again_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o have_v so_o good_a right_n on_o his_o side_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o to_o clear_v himself_o not_o too_o have_v do_v amiss_o when_o the_o matter_n shall_v come_v to_o debate_v but_o he_o declare_v only_o that_o the_o affliction_n which_o he_o endure_v be_v as_o a_o thick_a and_o dark_a cloud_n which_o bereave_v he_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o uprightness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o that_o his_o adversity_n be_v not_o the_o punishment_n wherewith_o god_n menace_v the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o law_n and_o for_o the_o well_o understand_v hereof_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o call_v to_o remembrance_n how_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v already_o that_o

that_o our_o natural_a wit_n do_v rest_n upon_o and_o look_v at_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o feel_v see_v and_o touch_v therefore_o when_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o such_o extremity_n as_o we_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o thick_a cloud_n between_o he_o and_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o under_o his_o hand_n &_o guide_n but_o yet_o

which_o look_v not_o unto_o god_n hand_n neither_o in_o weal_n nor_o wo._n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o rather_o whensoever_o we_o have_v any_o prosperity_n let_v we_o consider_v

we_o hold_v our_o tongue_n this_o be_v the_o instruction_n which_o we_o have_v to_o take_v now_o have_v we_o this_o lesson_n well_o print_v in_o our_o mind_n we_o shall_v not_o see_v so_o many_o

some_o virtue_n riches_n or_o authority_n yet_o notwithstanding_o no_o man_n shall_v find_v himself_o so_o perfect_v but_o that_o god_n give_v he_o many_o cause_n to_o hang_v down_o his_o head_n therefore_o if_o every_o of_o we_o examine_v thorough_o what_o be_v in_o himself_o sure_o we_o shall_v be_v hold_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o modesty_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o despise_v those_o that_o be_v under_o foot_n nor_o vaunt_v ourselves_o against_o those_o who_o our_o lord_n put_v to_o reproach_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o job_n word_n he_o say_v that_o the_o young_a folk_n mock_v he_o yea_o even_o those_o who_o father_n he_o will_v not_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o have_v make_v his_o d●g●eepers_n i●_z shall_v

inflame_v with_o some_o scornfulness_n and_o presumption_n but_o like_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o he_o express_v the_o temptation_n which_o he_o feel_v but_o yet_o consent_v not_o unto_o they_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o remember_v this_o text_n that_o job_n look_v upon_o the_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o cease_v not_o too_o fight_v against_o the_o gripe_n that_o gnaw_v his_o heart_n and_o his_o maree_o to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v patient_o bear_v such_o reproach_n for_o sure_o when_o we_o be_v scorn_v by_o such_o as_o have_v not_o any_o commendable_a thing_n in_o they_o that_o be_v much_o more_o hard_a and_o strange_a to_o we_o we_o be_v despise_v at_o honest_a man_n hand_n we_o consider_v that_o we_o must_v not_o soothe_v ourselves_o in_o this_o case_n for_o to_o make_v excuse_n for_o there_o be_v some_o cause_n why_o see_v that_o such_o man_n do_v find_v fault_n with_o we_o but_o if_o they_o that_o be_v wicked_a and_o

you_o see_v what_o job_n look_v at_o in_o say_v that_o those_o which_o be_v such_o abject_n have_v lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o job_n have_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o he_o be_v not_o honour_v for_o his_o riches_n for_o his_o high_a estate_n or_o for_o his_o noble_a birth_n those_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n whereon_o he_o ground_v himself_o but_o because_o he_o have_v walk_v in_o so_o great_a uprightness_n &_o perfection_n that_o at_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o virtue_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o he_o man_n be_v constrain_v to_o yield_v he_o reverence_n and_o he_o have_v not_o abuse_v those_o grace_n now_o them_z you_o see_v why_o he_o think_v it_o a_o very_a hard_a and_o grevous_a case_n to_o be_v despise_v by_o those_o in_o who_o there_o be_v nothing_o worthy_a of_o praise_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o job_n be_v bring_v so_o low_a let_v we_o understand_v that_o if_o our_o lord_n send_v the_o like_a in_o these_o day_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v strengthen_v by_o this_o example_n and_o therefore_o although_o the_o thing_n be_v heavy_a &_o hard_o for_o we_o to_o bear_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o be_v so_o mild_a as_o to_o stoop_v as_o often_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o afflict_v we_o very_o there_o be_v even_o a_o natural_a reason_n which_o ought_v to_o teach_v we_o this_o as_o how_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a though_o varlet_n
give_v we_o some_o truce_n while_o we_o be_v here_o why_o utter_v thou_o so_o great_a rigour_n against_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o job_n mean_v too_o say_v and_o i_o have_v tell_v

that_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o lift_v not_o up_o ourselves_o against_o god_n ne_o strive_v against_o the_o rod_n wherewith_o he_o scourge_v we_o in_o this_o extremity_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o one_o other_o consideration_n which_o be_v that_o although_o we_o go_v forward_o unto_o death_n and_o have_v always_o one_o foot_n in_o the_o grave_n yet_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o deliver_v we_o thence_o for_o to_o what_o end_n come_v jesus_n christ_n into_o the_o world_n yea_o why_o go_v he_o down_o into_o hell_n that_o be_v to_o say_v why_o suffer_v he_o the_o anguish_n that_o be_v due_a to_o all_o wretched_a sinner_n but_o too_o deliver_v we_o from_o they_o so_o than_o if_o man_n can_v now_o conceive_v good_a hope_n to_o be_v comfort_v in_o death_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o will_v deny_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v it_o in_o his_o person_n for_o whereas_o the_o son_n of_o god_n abse_z himself_o so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o curse_n and_o to_o feel_v god_n hand_n against_o he_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o death_n and_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o the_o victory_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v be_v for_o we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o have_v power_n over_o death_n let_v his_o resurrection_n always_o come_v before_o our_o eye_n and_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v stretch_v out_o his_o strong_a and_o victorious_a hand_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o satan_n and_o therein_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o although_o we_o have_v many_o adversity_n to_o suffer_v in_o this_o mortal_a life_n and_o that_o it_o please_v god_n to_o exercise_v we_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a nor_o enter_v into_o the_o wail_n and_o complaint_n which_o be_v make_v here_o too_o say_v yea_o what_o be_o i_o when_o i_o have_v pass_v through_o this_o world_n i_o must_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o no_o man_n can_v

and_o if_o we_o fight_v manful_o here_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o can_v but_o triumph_v in_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n for_o the_o fence_n and_o arm_v of_o ourselves_o against_o the_o temptation_n wherewith_o job_n be_v assault_v and_o which_o he_o have_v so_o much_o ado_n to_o withstand_v furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o add_v which_o be_v haut_fw-fr not_o i_o weep_v with_o he_o that_o be_v in_o adversity_n and_o have_v hard_a and_o sharp_a day_n or_o time_n be_v not_o my_o soul_n sorrowful_a with_o the_o poor_a or_o afflict_a now_o than_o i_o have_v look_v for_o good_a and_o evil_o be_v happen_v unto_o i_o i_o have_v hope_v for_o light_n and_o behold_v here_o be_v darkness_n hereby_o job_n declare_v that_o he_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n deal_v so_o rough_o with_o he_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o his_o prosperity_n he_o have_v not_o be_v cruel_a but_o pitiful_a towards_o the_o poor_a and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o heaviness_n and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o be_v drunken_a in_o his_o pleasure_n but_o have_v always_o consider_v what_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n life_n be_v so_o that_o he_o weep_v with_o they_o that_o do_v weep_v and_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o as_o be_v torment_v with_o adversity_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n allege_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o afflict_v and_o sure_o when_o god_n beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n common_o it_o be_v because_o he_o see_v that_o we_o can_v bear_v our_o own_o ease_n and_o that_o our_o flesh_n grow_v overlusty_a or_o else_o we_o be_v cruel_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n lo_o here_o the_o two_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v ordinary_o afflict_v we_o and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o threaten_v those_o that_o do_v so_o pass_v their_o bound_n in_o their_o prosperity_n woe_n be_v to_o you_o say_v it_o that_o laugh_v for_o you_o shall_v

themselves_o and_o think_v they_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o adversity_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a folk_n like_v as_o a_o drunken_a man_n have_v no_o stay_n of_o himself_o but_o rush_v with_o his_o horn_n as_o a_o wild_a beast_n even_o so_o fare_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n when_o god_n handle_v they_o gentle_o that_o be_v too_o say_v they_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n and_o fling_v out_o at_o rover_n &_o give_v the_o bridle_n to_o their_o lust_n for_o have_v a_o man_n meat_n and_o drink_v even_o his_o fill_n thereupon_o ensue_v whoredom_n and_o shameful_a wantonness_n yea_o and_o blasphemy_n and_o violence_n and_o moreover_o fond_a jest_n and_o play_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n &_o to_o be_v short_a a_o man_n can_v hold_v himself_o in_o good_a modesty_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n afflict_v man_n be_v for_o that_o he_o see_v it_o be_v for_o their_o behoof_n to_o be_v so_o correct_v furthermore_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o inconvenience_n for_o they_o that_o have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n pass_v not_o for_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o despise_v they_o and_o set_v their_o foot_n in_o their_o neck_n we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v in_o reproach_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomor_n behold_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o bread_n and_o therewithal_o pleasure_n and_o cruelty_n so_o as_o they_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v in_o need_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o they_o that_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n will_v not_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o trouble_n and_o incumberance_n of_o their_o neighbour_n but_o hold_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o earthly_a paradyse_n and_o exempt_v themselves_o from_o the_o feel_n of_o all_o their_o grief_n and_o adversity_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o handle_v they_o rough_o when_o their_o turn_n come_v about_o and_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o have_v have_v no_o pity_n nor_o compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n that_o they_o have_v see_v in_o their_o brethren_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o make_v they_o feel_v by_o force_n anon_o after_o that_o they_o be_v but_o man_n they_o will_v discharge_v themselves_o of_o all_o worldly_a misery_n and_o god_n show_v they_o perforce_o that_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n know_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o god_n ordinary_a afflict_v of_o man_n be_v either_o because_o they_o have_v be_v cruel_a in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o prosperity_n or_o because_o they_o have_v make_v themselves_o drunken_a in_o their_o lawless_a pleasure_n but_o he_o erewithall_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n may_v just_o keep_v we_o occupy_v with_o adversity_n though_o the_o foresay_a cause_n be_v not_o and_o that_o he_o have_v secret_a determination_n whereof_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o reason_n like_v as_o it_o happen_v unto_o job._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n complain_v for_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v afflict_v he_o after_o that_o manner_n see_v he_o have_v behave_v himself_o so_o advise_o but_o rather_o he_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v spare_v he_o see_v he_o have_v be_v so_o fellowlike_o and_o friendly_o a_o man_n and_o be_v sad_a and_o sorry_a with_o such_o as_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o what_o for_o that_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o we_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o bear_v away_o the_o
one_o be_v that_o if_o our_o lord_n make_v we_o to_o prosper_v so_o as_o we_o have_v peace_n and_o rest_n and_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o and_o we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o grief_n for_o a_o time_n we_o must_v not_o be_v to_o delicate_a nor_o to_o tender_v in_o shrink_v away_o from_o show_v pity_n and_o compassion_n towards_o such_o as_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o we_o must_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o grief_n of_o our_o neighbour_n to_o mourn_v with_o they_o and_o to_o relieve_v they_o to_o our_o power_n &_o at_o leastwise_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o they_o when_o we_o can_v help_v they_o by_o none_o other_o mean_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v the_o first_o doctrine_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o not_o fall_v a_o sleep_v in_o our_o pleasure_n for_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o continual_o know_v that_o here_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n certain_a nor_o be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n the_o first_o thing_n i_o say_v which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v ourselves_o when_o god_n spare_v we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o prosperity_n continue_v not_o still_o with_o we_o it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o abuse_v it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o second_o if_o god_n send_v we_o affliction_n let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o well_o and_o examine_v whither_o we_o have_v not_o be_v sleepy_a in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o prosperity_n for_o hereby_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o know_v our_o fault_n and_o to_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n say_v lord_n thou_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o punish_v we_o and_o why_o for_o since_o the_o time_n that_o thou_o do_v prosper_v we_o by_o thy_o favour_n we_o have_v forget_v thou_o and_o lay_v the_o bridle_n in_o our_o neck_n and_o take_v to_o much_o liberty_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o thou_o shall_v punish_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o unruliness_n lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n our_o former_a fault_n when_o god_n visit_v we_o by_o any_o affliction_n and_o special_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v well_o whether_o we_o have_v not_o be_v unmerciful_a toward_o such_o as_o deserve_v our_o succour_n for_o we_o have_v make_v no_o account_n of_o other_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o lord_n shall_v handle_v we_o rough_o again_o that_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n by_o our_o lord_n sharpness_n and_o rigour_n towards_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o yet_o further_o although_o we_o have_v endeavour_v to_o help_v our_o neighbour_n and_o have_v have_v compassion_n of_o their_o misery_n and_o mourn_v with_o they_o that_o mourn_v as_o s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v always_o to_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o correction_n which_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o send_v we_o yea_o even_o though_o we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v it_o if_o we_o have_v be_v watchful_a in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o not_o abuse_v our_o ease_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n miss_v to_o handle_v we_o rough_o now_o and_o then_o if_o we_o ask_v why_o he_o do_v it_o the_o reason_n will_v not_o be_v manifest_a at_o the_o first_o but_o he_o do_v it_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o so_o let_v we_o always_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n these_o two_o reason_n distinct_o first_o that_o we_o remember_v the_o threaten_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o such_o as_o be_v unmerciful_a to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o play_v the_o beast_n in_o their_o prosperity_n and_o second_o that_o we_o consider_v that_o although_o man_n behave_v themselves_o mild_o sober_o and_o friendly_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o afflict_v they_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n as_o we_o see_v have_v happen_v unto_o job._n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o in_o stead_n of_o that_o he_o say_v here_o i_o have_v wait_v for_o light_n and_o behold_v here_o be_v darkness_n i_o have_v hope_v for_o good_a and_o behold_v here_o be_v evil_a let_v we_o look_v for_o good_a according_a as_o god_n promise_v it_o for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n have_v promise_n not_o only_o of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n but_o also_o of_o the_o present_a and_o transitory_a life_n so_o then_o let_v we_o always_o look_v for_o welfare_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o look_v for_o it_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o we_o for_o whereas_o god_n promise_v we_o to_o handle_v we_o gentle_o &_o to_o use_v fatherly_a and_o love_a kindness_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v but_o conditional_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o why_o for_o his_o temporal_a benefit_n be_v such_o as_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o deal_v they_o forth_o and_o to_o distribute_v they_o by_o measure_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o impossibility_n or_o at_o leastwise_o a_o very_a hard_a matter_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o either_o abuse_n and_o corrupt_v god_n gift_n or_o bestow_v they_o clean_o contrary_a to_o his_o meaning_n so_o then_o we_o may_v well_o hope_v that_o when_o god_n have_v do_v we_o good_a he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o yea_o and_o also_o increase_v it_o still_o but_o we_o must_v not_o also_o look_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o therewithal_o dispose_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o receive_v adversity_n whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o send_v it_o why_o so_o we_o must_v not_o make_v reckon_v that_o we_o have_v a_o everlasting_a state_n in_o our_o life_n without_o any_o change_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o our_o life_n be_v frail_a so_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o change_n and_o that_o if_o we_o have_v prosperity_n to_o day_n god_n may_v disappoint_v we_o of_o it_o to_o morrow_n and_o although_o we_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n why_o yet_o he_o know_v it_o and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v with_o it_o you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o look_v for_o the_o temporal_a benefit_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v that_o when_o they_o enjoy_v they_o they_o must_v believe_v full_o that_o god_n will_v continue_v his_o deal_n towards_o they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v thitherto_o howbeit_o in_o look_v for_o prosperity_n it_o behoove_v they_o to_o prepare_v themselves_o to_o receive_v adversity_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v take_v unwares_o nor_o think_v it_o strange_a if_o he_o bereeve_v they_o of_o his_o benefit_n when_o he_o have_v handle_v they_o as_o gentle_o as_o may_v be_v for_o a_o time_n i_o say_v they_o must_v not_o think_v it_o any_o novelty_n if_o god_n turn_v his_o hand_n the_o contrary_a way_n and_o smite_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o look_v for_o prosperity_n must_v be_v with_o continual_a dispose_n of_o ourselves_o too_o suffer_v adversity_n yea_o and_o to_o suffer_v it_o patient_o to_o the_o end_n we_o miscarry_v not_o when_o it_o come_v upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o in_o conclusion_n mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o concern_v job._n he_o complain_v that_o he_o be_v a_o companion_n of_o dragon_n and_o a_o brother_n of_o estrige_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o a_o wild_a man_n so_o as_o he_o be_v no_o more_o of_o the_o number_n and_o company_n of_o other_o man_n but_o god_n have_v so_o far_o forsake_v he_o that_o he_o be_v become_v as_o a_o wild_a beast_n and_o who_o be_v he_o that_o speak_v it_o a_o man_n that_o live_v in_o such_o holiness_n and_o perfection_n as_o he_o may_v rather_o have_v be_v compare_v with_o a_o angel_n than_o with_o a_o mortal_a creature_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v handle_v hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v to_o put_v ourselves_o whole_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o not_o cease_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o though_o he_o scourge_v we_o rough_o and_o seem_v mind_v to_o overwhelm_v we_o utter_o but_o to_o put_v that_o thing_n in_o ure_n which_o we_o have_v see_v here_o before_o namely_o that_o though_o he_o shall_v kill_v we_o yet_o we_o will_v hope_v still_o for_o his_o mercy_n and_o fight_v

it_o man_n shall_v hear_v this_o devilish_a blasphemy_n it_o be_v but_o a_o venial_a sin_n it_o be_v to_o be_v forgive_v and_o such_o other_o thing_n and_o these_o thing_n have_v not_o begin_v of_o

there_o have_v be_v great_a corruption_n in_o all_o time_n and_o that_o such_o man_n as_o have_v be_v ordain_v to_o yield_v every_o man_n his_o right_n have_v not_o discharge_v their_o duty_n therein_o then_o be_v it_o no_o new_a thing_n if_o judge_n do_v nowadays_o reach_v out_o their_o hand_n to_o the_o wicked_a sort_n bolster_n and_o bear_v they_o in_o their_o wickedness_n for_o it_o have_v always_o be_v a_o ordinary_a custom_n and_o therefore_o such_o as_o be_v in_o state_n of_o justice_n aught_o to_o look_v the_o better_a to_o themselves_o for_o the_o discharge_n of_o their_o

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

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

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
to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n according_a hereunto_o eliu_o for_o the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o it_o say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o condemn_v for_o nought_o nor_o overthrow_v the_o

learn_v too_o walk_v according_a to_o god_n commandment_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n very_o this_o be_v oftentimes_o show_v we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n do_v always_o run_v astray_o and_o man_n delight_v to_o much_o in_o their_o own_o fancy_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v so_o often_o send_v we_o to_o this_o point_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v not_o after_o our_o own_o like_n but_o according_a as_o god_n have_v command_v again_o whereas_o under_o the_o word_n prayer_n here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o whole_a service_n of_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o weigh_v the_o same_o thorough_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n think_v not_o at_o all_o of_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n discharge_v itself_o of_o it_o very_o light_o nevertheless_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n the_o chief_a point_n of_o it_o which_o it_o set_v down_o to_o we_o be_v prayer_n and_o have_v this_o be_v observe_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o pray_v have_v be_v much_o more_o esteem_v among_o man_n so_o as_o they_o will_v not_o have_v swerve_v one_o way_n nor_o other_o but_o have_v follow_v that_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n show_v but_o now_o clean_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n have_v take_v such_o a_o scope_n in_o pray_v unto_o god_n as_o there_o be_v no_o reckon_v make_v of_o know_v what_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a too_o be_v pray_v for_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n but_o every_o man_n step_n to_o it_o like_v blind_a bayarde_n and_o come_v not_o dutiful_o unto_o god_n and_o whence_o proceed_v this_o overweening_n because_o we_o take_v not_o prayer_n too_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a estimation_n as_o it_o be_v for_o if_o we_o take_v it_o for_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o god_n service_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v go_v to_o it_o with_o far_o great_a heartiness_n than_o we_o do_v again_o we_o see_v that_o in_o stead_n of_o pray_v unto_o god_n man_n be_v give_v to_o pray_v to_o saint_n decease_v and_o the_o world_n which_o yield_v that_o thing_n to_o creature_n which_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o god_n think_v not_o the_o same_o to_o be_v otherwise_o than_o good_a if_o a_o man_n ask_v the_o papist_n why_o they_o term_v the_o virgin_n marie_n their_o hope_n of_o salvation_n why_o they_o flee_v to_o she_o and_o why_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v his_o several_a saint_n to_o be_v his_o patron_n if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n against_o god_n it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o make_v they_o believe_v so_o and_o why_o because_o they_o never_o know_v nor_o taste_v of_o that_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n utter_v so_o diligent_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o to_o serve_v god_n aright_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o pray_v unto_o he_o sure_o the_o great_a and_o honourable_a service_n that_o he_o require_v 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 have_v yrk_v they_o to_o have_v go_v to_o a_o dead_a creature_n and_o to_o say_v i_o worship_v god_n or_o rather_o i_o yield_v he_o his_o due_n prayer_n be_v the_o principal_a service_n that_o he_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v convey_v the_o same_o over_o to_o a_o creature_n be_v not_o this_o a_o pervert_v of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n so_o much_o the_o better_a therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v thorough_o what_o be_v contain_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o by_o this_o word_n prayer_n job_n mean_v to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v serve_v god_n pure_o and_o so_o if_o man_n will_v now_o give_v proof_n of_o their_o uprightness_n let_v they_o not_o allege_v their_o gewgaw_n as_o the_o hypocrite_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v say_v have_v we_o not_o fast_v have_v we_o not_o do_v this_o or_o that_o but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o our_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o rule_v after_o his_o law_n and_o he_o will_v have_v the_o whole_a authority_n over_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n furthermore_o we_o have_v also_o to_o note_n that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v never_o be_v pure_a before_o god_n nor_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o unless_o our_o hand_n be_v clear_a from_o violence_n and_o why_o if_o we_o be_v cruel_a and_o wrangle_a with_o our_o neighbour_n god_n put_v we_o back_o and_o we_o have_v no_o access_n unto_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o many_o do_v give_v the_o adventure_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n although_o they_o be_v full_a of_o raven_a and_o have_v trouble_v one_o and_o torment_v a_o other_o yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o be_v hardy_a enough_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n but_o sure_o their_o prayer_n
