see_v for_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o knit_n up_o job_n show_v that_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v deem_v so_o they_o shall_v rather_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o prosperity_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o job_n repine_v not_o here_o as_o one_o that_o be_v grieve_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o the_o good_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o but_o rather_o that_o he_o reprove_v his_o adversary_n show_v they_o that_o they_o take_v a_o wrong_a way_n to_o judge_v of_o he_o because_o they_o think_v a_o man_n to_o be_v utter_o damn_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o change_n which_o they_o see_v in_o his_o state_n and_o remember_v not_o at_o all_o that_o in_o time_n past_a he_o have_v be_v have_v in_o great_a reverence_n as_o a_o excellent_a and_o choose_v man_n among_o all_o other_o therefore_o by_o the_o read_n of_o this_o text_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o take_v example_n not_o to_o be_v out_o of_o patience_n though_o god_n afflict_v we_o for_o we_o ought_v rather_o to_o remember_v how_o we_o have_v hear_v job_n say_v that_o sith_o we_o have_v receive_v good_a at_o god_n hand_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v patient_a too_o endure_v the_o adversity_n also_o which_o he_o send_v for_o we_o be_v unthankful_a to_o god_n if_o the_o remember_v of_o his_o benefit_n assuage_v not_o all_o our_o grief_n when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o exercise_v we_o and_o to_o bring_v we_o low_o for_o than_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o think_v how_o now_o have_v not_o our_o lord_n deal_v in_o such_o wise_a with_o we_o heretofore_o as_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v receive_v whatsoever_o it_o please_v he_o yea_o and_o it_o ought_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o god_n goodness_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o see_v we_o have_v find_v he_o so_o good_a unto_o we_o by_o experience_n and_o have_v we_o not_o cause_n to_o be_v content_v when_o god_n show_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o although_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o as_o we_o will_v wish_v thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o and_o in_o what_o sort_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o remember_v our_o former_a prosperity_n when_o god_n afflict_v we_o it_o must_v not_o increase_v our_o heaviness_n nor_o prick_v we_o forward_o to_o any_o grudge_n but_o it_o must_v rather_o bridle_v we_o if_o we_o storm_v to_o much_o and_o if_o our_o passion_n be_v overheady_o the_o say_a remembrance_n say_v i_o ought_v to_o assuage_v the_o misery_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o that_o god_n have_v make_v we_o too_o taste_v his_o goodness_n which_o be_v sufficient_a matter_n of_o comfort_n for_o we_o again_o see_v he_o have_v have_v such_o care_n of_o we_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v yield_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o to_o suffer_v whatsoever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o and_o it_o be_v a_o right_n necessary_a warning_n for_o we_o that_o when_o adversity_n pinch_v we_o and_o we_o be_v at_o the_o last_o cast_v we_o ought_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o god_n have_v not_o press_v we_o so_o always_o but_o have_v have_v regard_n of_o our_o feebleness_n &_o bear_v with_o it_o and_o thereby_o witness_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o &_o not_o doubt_n but_o that_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v try_v our_o patience_n in_o that_o sort_n he_o will_v remedy_v our_o adversity_n &_o bring_v we_o back_o again_o to_o our_o former_a state_n behold_v i_o say_v how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o practice_v this_o doctrine_n in_o all_o our_o affliction_n but_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o job_n intent_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o that_o here_o job_n mean_v to_o show_v that_o his_o adversary_n be_v as_o it_o be_v blind_a and_o judge_v foolish_o because_o they_o stay_v upon_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v with_o the_o eye_n for_o because_o job_n be_v in_o so_o great_a extremity_n they_o imagine_v that_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o &_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v for_o a_o curse_a man_n but_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o we_o must_v not_o go_v so_o to_o work_v but_o we_o must_v have_v the_o wisdom_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o psalm_n namely_o of_o bridle_a ourself_o that_o we_o have_v compassion_n of_o such_o as_o be_v in_o adversity_n and_o furthermore_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o this_o point_n that_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n smite_v by_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v consider_v what_o his_o life_n have_v be_v if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o wicked_a and_o disorder_a person_n then_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o tell_v we_o so_o often_o namely_o that_o his_o threaten_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o learn_v at_o a_o other_o man_n cost_n as_o they_o say_v to_o walk_v in_o fear_n it_o will_v seem_v now_o and_o then_o that_o god_n look_v not_o downehere_o and_o that_o he_o suffer_v thing_n to_o go_v to_o havoc_n but_o when_o he_o execute_v his_o judgement_n the_o same_o aught_o too_o teach_v we_o righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n and_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v no_o play_v with_o god_n for_o although_o he_o wink_v at_o thing_n for_o a_o time_n he_o will_v in_o the_o end_n call_v those_o to_o account_v which_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v escape_v and_o of_o who_o the_o world_n suppose_v that_o they_o shall_v abide_v unpunished_a you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v not_o settle_v our_o judgement_n simple_o upon_o affliction_n but_o consider_v what_o the_o life_n of_o they_o have_v be_v who_o god_n punish_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v acknowledge_v their_o chastisement_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n for_o the_o better_a profit_v of_o ourselves_o thereby_o for_o if_o we_o see_v a_o good_a man_n punish_v in_o such_o wise_n as_o god_n may_v seem_v too_o have_v forget_v he_o yea_o and_o even_o to_o persecute_v he_o what_o ought_v we_o to_o say_v to_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v a_o over_o great_a rashness_n for_o we_o to_o judge_v of_o thing_n secret_a and_o unknown_a therefore_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n intend_v to_o humble_v we_o and_o that_o we_o must_v confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a although_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o do_n be_v not_o altogether_o apparent_a and_o so_o ought_v job_n friend_n to_o have_v judge_v which_o condemn_v he_o wrongful_o for_o inasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v see_v he_o to_o be_v as_o a_o mirror_n of_o holiness_n and_o all_o perfection_n during_o all_o his_o whole_a life_n when_o they_o see_v he_o so_o smite_v down_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o overwhelm_v he_o utter_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v come_v to_o this_o point_n to_o have_v say_v we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v our_o wit_n be_v dazzle_v in_o this_o behalf_n this_o man_n have_v live_v holy_o doubtless_o he_o be_v never_o any_o wicked_a man_n any_o whoremonger_n any_o drunkard_n any_o perjure_a person_n any_o loose_a liver_n any_o cruel_a person_n nor_o any_o proud_a man_n there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o he_o why_o then_o do_v god_n handle_v he_o so_o rigorous_o we_o can_v tell_v and_o therefore_o god_n mind_v to_o humble_v we_o here_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o sometime_o his_o judgement_n be_v as_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o wade_v into_o they_o but_o rather_o we_o ought_v to_o glorify_v he_o yea_o even_o by_o shet_v our_o eye_n until_o he_o show_v we_o why_o he_o work_v so_o you_o see_v then_o what_o the_o wisdom_n be_v whereof_o the_o psalm_n make_v mention_v when_o it_o say_v that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a which_o judge_v right_o of_o he_o which_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o heerewithall_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o to_o apply_v this_o to_o our_o instruction_n for_o as_o our_o lord_n say_v if_o god_n do_v make_v the_o green_a wood_n to_o be_v burn_v after_o that_o sort_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o dry_a then_o let_v we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o such_o as_o we_o have_v know_v to_o be_v good_a man_n and_o to_o have_v god_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v so_o gross_a fault_n in_o ourselves_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o say_v alas_o i_o see_v well_o that_o god_n bear_v with_o i_o and_o pity_v my_o weakness_n in_o handle_v i_o so_o gentle_o for_o i_o be_o worse_a than_o such_o a_o man_n i_o see_v that_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v compare_v with_o he_o i_o come_v far_o short_a of_o walk_v in_o such_o uprightness_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o see_v how_o god_n afflict_v he_o and_o i_o be_o still_o at_o
we_o may_v discourse_v curious_o upon_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o may_v bring_v many_o fair_a allegation_n but_o yet_o all_o shall_v be_v but_o vanity_n till_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o can_v judge_v aright_o of_o that_o which_o our_o lord_n require_v of_o we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o chastizement_n and_o affliction_n and_o hereupon_o to_o conclude_v his_o matter_n job_n say_v that_o his_o day_n be_v pass_v his_o thought_n vanish_v and_o all_o his_o erterprise_n break_v of_o and_o disappoint_v and_o that_o he_o have_v bad_a darkness_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o light_n and_o when_o he_o think_v that_o the_o day_n spring_v he_o have_v night_n to_o be_v short_a he_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o end_n at_o all_o of_o his_o misery_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v continue_v as_o touch_v the_o present_a life_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o add_v then_o say_v i_o to_o rottenness_n thou_o be_v my_o father_n and_o unto_o the_o dust_n thou_o be_v my_o mother_n and_o my_o sister_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o regard_v either_o kinsfolk_n or_o friend_n any_o more_o here_o below_o for_o god_n have_v hide_v i_o from_o they_o and_o cut_v i_o of_o from_o the_o rank_n and_o company_n of_o the_o live_n i_o be_o like_o a_o wretched_a carrion_n and_o i_o must_v not_o look_v to_o return_v again_o to_o say_v that_o any_o creature_n can_v ease_v i_o that_o matter_n be_v out_o of_o all_o question_n &_o so_o be_o i_o utter_o dispatch_v there_o be_v no_o more_o remedy_n in_o my_o case_n what_o be_v my_o expectation_n i_o have_v no_o more_o say_v he_o when_o i_o have_v look_v up_o and_o down_o i_o must_v go_v down_o into_o the_o pit_n and_o my_o bed_n must_v be_v bylowe_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o death_n whatsoever_o i_o hope_v for_o or_o how_o soever_o i_o build_v for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n that_o job_n use_v may_v come_v of_o building_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a fit_a similitude_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o hope_n or_o expectation_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o this_o build_n there_o be_v a_o doubtfulness_n in_o the_o word_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o signification_n therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v although_o i_o be_v patient_a and_o prolong_v my_o misery_n continual_o yet_o remain_v there_o nothing_o for_o i_o but_o the_o grave_n and_o he_o liken_v this_o expectation_n of_o he_o to_o a_o building_n i_o may_v well_o build_v say_v he_o in_o think_v there_o be_v still_o some_o hope_n leave_v for_o i_o but_o shall_v i_o speed_v ever_o the_o better_a no_o say_v he_o when_o i_o have_v build_v my_o best_a i_o shall_v have_v none_o other_o house_n but_o my_o grave_n it_o seem_v that_o job_n speak_v here_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o more_o taste_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n nor_o wist_v what_o god_n mercy_n mean_v but_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o consider_v too_o who_o he_o tell_v his_o tale_n true_a it_o be_v that_o heretofore_o when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o fit_n and_o dispute_v against_o god_n he_o show_v well_o that_o he_o have_v terrible_a conceit_n which_o notwithstanding_o he_o resist_v but_o after_o he_o have_v treat_v of_o the_o fit_n that_o he_o feel_v he_o show_v what_o the_o folly_n of_o they_o be_v which_o will_v have_v god_n favour_n to_o utter_v itself_o unconstant_o in_o this_o present_a life_n upon_o the_o good_a and_o faithful_a and_o that_o if_o god_n show_v not_o himself_o merciful_a here_o in_o the_o open_a face_n of_o the_o world_n towards_o those_o that_o be_v he_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o he_o have_v forsake_v they_o and_o they_o be_v utter_o past_a hope_n of_o recovery_n job_n mock_v at_o this_o gear_n so_o then_o he_o tell_v his_o tale_n too_o such_o as_o will_v see_v man_n full_a payment_n in_o this_o transitory_a and_o decay_a life_n but_o it_o be_v a_o overfroward_a doctrine_n to_o judge_v so_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o job_n be_v not_o here_o as_o a_o man_n in_o despair_n but_o he_o reprove_v the_o folly_n of_o such_o as_o say_v they_o be_v his_o friend_n and_o yet_o will_v make_v he_o believe_v that_o even_o here_o in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v sure_o perceive_v whither_o we_o be_v in_o god_n favour_n &_o grace_n or_o whither_o we_o be_v forsake_v of_o he_o for_o the_o better_a comprehend_v hereof_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o argument_n that_o s._n paul_n make_v when_o he_o intend_v to_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o last_o resurrection_n we_o be_v say_v he_o the_o wretchedde_v of_o all_o man_n on_o the_o earth_n let_v a_o man_n compare_v the_o christian_n with_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n with_o the_o heathen_a folk_n with_o the_o hypocrite_n and_o with_o all_o they_o than_z spite_n god_n to_o the_o full_a &_o see_v which_o of_o they_o be_v best_a entreat_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o take_v one_o with_o another_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v more_o prosperity_n in_o they_o that_o be_v give_v to_o all_o evil_a than_o he_o shall_v do_v in_o they_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o why_o for_o as_o our_o lord_n be_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o watch_v over_o we_o so_o if_o we_o do_v amiss_o he_o amend_v it_o as_o a_o man_n will_v have_v more_o care_n to_o correct_v his_o child_n than_o his_o neighbour_n god_n therefore_o to_o show_v the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v we_o chastize_v we_o when_o he_o see_v we_o do_v amiss_o again_o he_o intend_v to_o prove_v our_o obedience_n as_o good_a reason_n be_v he_o shall_v and_o he_o intend_v to_o ratify_v our_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v so_o precious_a a_o thing_n that_o it_o deserve_v to_o be_v try_v as_o gold_n and_o silver_n or_o rather_o more_o as_o s._n peter_n tell_v we_o and_o moreover_o we_o know_v that_o the_o devil_n cease_v not_o to_o practice_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a against_o we_o and_o after_o as_o he_o see_v we_o heedful_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v his_o rage_n set_v on_o fire_n also_o look_v how_o many_o wicked_a folk_n there_o be_v so_o many_o enemy_n have_v we_o and_o satan_n serve_v his_o turn_n by_o they_o to_o trouble_v we_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o marvel_v though_o god_n child_n be_v most_o miserable_a in_o this_o world_n and_o s._n paul_n use_v the_o selfsame_a argument_n to_o show_v that_o we_o look_v for_o a_o better_a state_n sith_o that_o man_n shake_v we_o of_o say_v he_o sith_o they_o tread_v we_o under_o their_o foot_n sith_o we_o be_v a_o reproach_n and_o laughingstocke_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o what_o case_n be_v we_o if_o we_o hope_v not_o for_o the_o resurrection_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v come_v and_o that_o then_o we_o shall_v perceive_v we_o have_v not_o serve_v god_n in_o vain_a if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o there_o be_v no_o more_o god_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o more_o justice_n there_o be_v no_o more_o providence_n you_o see_v then_o how_o s._n paul_n argument_n must_v serve_v we_o as_o a_o key_n to_o open_v this_o text_n you_o see_v i_o say_v job_n here_o as_o a_o man_n past_o hope_n when_o i_o have_v make_v all_o my_o windlass_n i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o the_o grave_n there_o be_v my_o lodging_n i_o see_v nothing_o but_o rottenness_n round_o about_o i_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o will_v you_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o god_n do_v handle_v man_n here_o beneath_o thereafter_o as_o he_o do_v love_v they_o or_o hate_v they_o for_o as_o for_o i_o i_o know_v i_o have_v endeavour_v too_o serve_v god_n and_o i_o be_o not_o disappoint_v of_o my_o expectation_n yet_o do_v i_o see_v myself_o handle_v as_o rough_o as_o may_v be_v every_o man_n look_v a_o skew_z at_o i_o i_o be_o as_o a_o gazingstocke_n and_o a_o common_a by_o word_n what_o remain_v they_o either_o i_o must_v bury_v all_o the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n that_o god_n have_v give_v i_o and_o cast_v they_o quite_o away_o or_o else_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n mock_v and_o abuse_v his_o servant_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o they_o to_o trust_v unto_o his_o promise_n and_o will_v you_o have_v i_o to_o fall_v into_o such_o a_o wickedness_n then_o sith_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o god_n love_n or_o hatred_n by_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o see_v now_o but_o let_v we_o proceed_v further_o and_o consider_v that_o god_n love_v those_o who_o he_o scourge_v and_o keep_v the_o taste_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o store_n for_o

which_o have_v a_o right_a knowledge_n of_o god_n will_v be_v willing_a to_o come_v too_o he_o yea_o and_o come_v to_o he_o in_o deed_n rejoice_v in_o that_o he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v his_o father_n

to_o behold_v the_o patientness_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v set_v here_o before_o our_o eye_n according_a as_o s._n james_n exhort_v we_o for_o when_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o

before_o our_o eye_n and_o yet_o they_o perceive_v not_o how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o chastyze_v they_o and_o that_o just_o and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o hehove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v

such_o awe_n as_o they_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o serve_v god_n and_o special_o this_o circumstance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v forget_v namely_o that_o although_o job_n child_n be_v grow_v to_o full_a

and_o to_o purify_v themselves_o but_o now_o adays_o as_o soon_o as_o child_n be_v ten_o year_n old_a by_o and_o by_o they_o think_v themselves_o man_n when_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o

but_o silly_a offskooring_n and_o as_o for_o to_o suffer_v any_o correction_n or_o any_o instruction_n it_o be_v very_o strange_a with_o they_o yea_o they_o will_v think_v they_o have_v great_a wrong_n and_o injury_n offer_v they_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v what_o be_v say_v here_o but_o what_o the_o father_n be_v worthy_a to_o have_v their_o child_n disobedidient_a and_o stubborn_a against_o they_o why_o so_o for_o meet_v it_o be_v that_o he_o which_o will_v be_v honour_v shall_v be_v honourable_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v show_v cause_n why_o to_o be_v honour_v how_o then_o shall_v a_o father_n purchase_v himself_o authority_n towards_o his_o child_n to_o be_v obey_v of_o they_o and_o to_o keep_v they_o in_o fear_n even_o by_o have_v

shake_v off_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o their_o child_n shall_v obey_v thern_a sith_o that_o they_o themselves_o yield_v not_o god_n the_o honour_n that_o belong_v unto_o he_o lo_o here_o the_o cause_n why_o child_n show_v themselves_o so_o loath_a to_o be_v correct_v and_o why_o they_o can_v be_v keep_v in_o awe_n namely_o for_o that_o their_o father_n be_v disobedient_a unto_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v that_o both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o child_n be_v condemn_v here_o the_o father_n for_o their_o negligence_n in_o not_o take_v heed_n to_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o child_n for_o not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o their_o father_n and_o here_o they_o have_v a_o goodly_a example_n for_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o such_o as_o may_v say_v my_o father_n have_v keep_v i_o in_o awe_n as_o long_o as_o i_o be_v young_a and_o yet_o must_v i_o still_o be_v always_o under_o the_o rod_n job_n child_n may_v have_v say_v so_o but_o we_o see_v that_o although_o they_o be_v come_v to_o have_v household_n of_o their_o own_o yet_o be_v they_o still_o under_o the_o governance_n of_o their_o father_n for_o in_o the_o text_n it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o they_o gainsay_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v they_o as_o it_o be_v report_v of_o the_o child_n of_o hely_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o obey_v he_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v for_o they_o this_o that_o we_o hear_v then_o be_v enough_o to_o condemn_v all_o these_o petty_a roister_n which_o make_v such_o a_o bravery_n and_o carry_v their_o crest_n so_o high_a they_o know_v not_o what_o this_o awfulness_n in_o any_o wise_n mean_v they_o be_v but_o offskooring_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o they_o will_v bear_v the_o countenance_n of_o man_n but_o we_o see_v here_o how_o those_o that_o be_v of_o age_n and_o discretion_n to_o guide_v a_o household_n orderly_a be_v hold_v still_o under_o the_o government_n and_o obedience_n of_o their_o father_n furthermore_o as_o concern_v this_o word_n sacrifice_n it_o be_v mean_v according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a custom_n of_o the_o law_n whereby_o to_o the_o intent_n a_o man_n may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n it_o behove_v he_o to_o be_v purisy_v that_o he_o may_v be_v due_o dispose_v thereunto_o and_o albeit_o that_o job_n be_v not_o of_o the_o country_n where_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v write_v but_o rather_o by_o all_o likelihood_n be_v before_o moses_n be_v bear_v yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o have_v always_o be_v a_o custom_n among_o the_o faithful_a that_o when_o they_o shall_v sacrifice_v unto_o god_n they_o have_v some_o sign_n of_o cleanse_v that_o be_v to_o

bliss_n be_v sometime_o take_v to_o curse_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o naboth_n have_v bliss_v god_n and_o the_o king_n that_o be_v to_o say_v have_v curse_v they_o and_o we_o shall_v see_v

say_v it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o child_n have_v do_v amiss_o and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o for_o now_o adays_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v admonish_v and_o to_o be_v tell_v of_o their_o fault_n although_o their_o fault_n be_v notorious_a in_o all_o respect_n yet_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o will_v find_v some_o shift_n or_o other_o to_o excuse_v and_o hide_v themselves_o in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v rebuke_v they_o that_o do_v amiss_o he_o must_v prepare_v himself_o to_o sustain_v mortal_a war_n at_o their_o hand_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o deadly_a foe_n to_o they_o for_o procure_v their_o welfare_n but_o if_o man_n can_v abide_v to_o be_v rebuke_v when_o they_o do_v amiss_o how_o

we_o what_o our_o duty_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o perceive_v ourselves_o faulty_a and_o worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v every_o of_o we_o must_v prick_v and_o spur_v up_o himself_o to_o make_v his_o own_o accusation_n of_o his_o own_o good_a will._n and_o upon_o far_o strong_a reason_n i_o say_v that_o when_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o provoke_v we_o so_o as_o we_o have_v other_o to_o exhort_v we_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n if_o we_o be_v stubborn_a against_o god_n upon_o his_o send_n of_o such_o messenger_n unto_o we_o and_o suffer_v not_o ourselves_o

the_o way_n we_o see_v that_o job_n take_v not_o think_v only_o for_o himself_o but_o also_o for_o those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o his_o charge_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v say_v but_o now_o adays_o man_n do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n for_o if_o a_o man_n can_v excuse_v himself_o by_o and_o by_o he_o take_v covert_a as_o fast_o as_o he_o may_v have_v a_o man_n do_v this_o or_o

our_o fear_n for_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v must_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o we_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o walk_v aright_o in_o all_o our_o way_n &_o that_o we_o have_v

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v that_o the_o angel_n which_o have_v the_o keep_n of_o little_a infant_n do_v continual_o see_v and_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o his_o father_n thereby_o it_o be_v

asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v rude_a &_o gross_a the_o scripture_n mean_v to_o liken_v god_n to_o earthly_a prince_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o a_o more_o homely_a &_o familiar_a manner_n we_o may_v

although_o they_o be_v call_v power_n principality_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o god_n have_v resign_v his_o own_o office_n unto_o they_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o have_v

to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v spread_v out_o overall_a we_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_n by_o mean_a of_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o govern_n of_o worldly_a matter_n that_o all_o of_o they_o come_v to_o account_v afore_o he_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o nothing_o can_v escape_v he_o and_o furthermore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n also_o come_v among_o the_o angel_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o wound_v himself_o in_o thither_o as_o some_o have_v understand_v it_o that_o he_o crowd_v himself_o into_o the_o company_n to_o make_v himself_o a_o good_a page_n but_o contrariwise_o the_o holy_a ghostment_n to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o not_o only_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n which_o obey_v god_n willing_o and_o be_v whole_o incline_v &_o give_v that_o way_n do_v yield_v account_n unto_o he_o but_o also_o the_o
devil_n of_o hell_n which_o be_v enemy_n and_o rebel_n to_o he_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n which_o labour_n to_o subvert_v his_o majesty_n and_o practice_v to_o confound_v all_o thing_n so_o as_o they_o be_v force_v spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n to_o be_v subject_a unto_o god_n and_o to_o yield_v he_o account_v of_o all_o their_o do_n and_o can_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o his_o permission_n and_o leave_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o wise_a satan_n appear_v among_o the_o angel_n but_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n the_o manner_n of_o their_o deal_n be_v diverse_a for_o when_o the_o angel_n guide_v we_o and_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v command_v they_o have_v the_o nature_n to_o apply_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o have_v none_o other_o inclination_n but_o to_o obey_v he_o &_o he_o on_o the_o otherside_n dwell_v and_o reign_v in_o they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n lo_o here_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o say_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o we_o see_v so_o much_o counterfeit_v and_o so_o many_o horrible_a rebellion_n against_o god_n here_o below_o we_o desire_v he_o to_o settle_v his_o kingdom_n peaceable_o here_o as_o it_o be_v aloft_o where_o his_o angel_n be_v whole_o obedient_a unto_o he_o but_o the_o devil_n obey_v he_o as_o enforce_v that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o of_o their_o own_o goodwill_n but_o because_o god_n compel_v they_o they_o will_v with_o all_o their_o heart_n resist_v his_o power_n and_o oppress_v he_o if_o they_o can_v but_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o follow_v he_o in_o all_o point_n whether_o so_o ever_o he_o list_v to_o lead_v they_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v why_o the_o angel_n be_v in_o this_o place_n express_o term_v child_n of_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n by_o his_o proper_a title_n of_o adversary_n for_o so_o do_v the_o word_n satan_n signify_v in_o hebrew_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n be_v oftentimes_o call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n because_o he_o have_v print_v his_o image_n in_o they_o special_o in_o the_o faithful_a for_o asmuch_o as_o they_o be_v reform_v to_o the_o likeness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o lively_a image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n &_o also_o for_o that_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o be_v a_o warrant_n unto_o they_o that_o god_n bear_v a_o fatherly_a love_n towards_o they_o right_o therefore_o may_v we_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n so_o may_v also_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n for_o they_o have_v the_o same_o honourable_a title_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o they_o because_o god_n have_v advance_v they_o &_o set_v they_o in_o that_o high_a estate_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o be_v know_v in_o the_o person_n of_o they_o we_o

acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o may_v not_o separate_v the_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o they_o from_o the_o virtue_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v as_o stream_n that_o gush_v out_o of_o that_o fountain_n &_o spring_n and_o we_o must_v always_o repair_v thither_o let_v we_o know_v they_o that_o this_o honour_n of_o be_v take_v &_o

to_o redeem_v we_o have_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o angel_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v have_v clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o nature_n and_o our_o substance_n when_o

hold_n of_o god_n goodness_n in_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o up_o as_o how_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sick_a he_o take_v such_o a_o inward_a conceit_n of_o his_o disease_n that_o he_o think_v upon_o none_o

of_o other_o far_o great_a and_o far_o more_o excessive_a god_n know_v what_o measure_n to_o keep_v in_o punish_v i_o so_o as_o if_o it_o please_v he_o he_o can_v cast_v i_o into_o so_o bottomless_a

such_o as_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o rest_v themselves_o upon_o he_o for_o albeit_o that_o we_o see_v a_o wonderful_a strength_n in_o job_n yet_o very_o he_o be_v a_o frail_a man_n as_o we_o be_v and_o for_o proof_n here_o of_o how_o can_v he_o have_v be_v so_o strengthen_v if_o god_n have_v not_o lend_v he_o his_o hand_n and_o be_v the_o strength_n that_o god_n utter_v in_o job_n abate_v at_o this_o day_n have_v god_n alter_v either_o his_o purpose_n or_o his_o nature_n no_o then_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v strengthen_v job_n we_o come_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o belong_v not_o to_o any_o one_o man_n alone_o but_o to_o all_o man_n lo_o how_o god_n show_v that_o if_o we_o be_v dismay_v at_o the_o feebleness_n of_o our_o own_o flesh_n he_o have_v where_o with_o too_o

therefore_o let_v we_o not_o allege_v this_o excuse_n lo_o i_o be_o a_o man_n for_o why_o be_v not_o job_n a_o man_n be_v not_o abraham_n a_o man_n be_v not_o david_n so_o to_o and_o whereof_o come_v

that_o like_a as_o he_o assist_v job_n so_o will_v he_o also_o assist_v we_o but_o what_o when_o we_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n that_o proceed_v of_o our_o own_o

furthermore_o we_o have_v here_o a_o godly_a record_n that_o affliction_n be_v not_o always_o sign_n that_o god_n hare_v we_o if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o belief_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a in_o adversity_n for_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o ought_v too_o have_v comfort_n through_o patience_n if_o a_o man_n comfort_v not_o himself_o in_o god_n though_o he_o show_v never_o so_o great_a and_o invincible_a courage_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o same_o to_o be_v call_v patience_n for_o he_o be_v not_o patient_a as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v but_o the_o patience_n of_o a_o lombard_n as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o proverb_n that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v patience_n perforce_o and_o against_o our_o will_n as_o a_o mule_n

and_o they_o say_v see_v the_o wicked_a fortune_n but_o what_o though_o we_o must_v for_o all_o that_o be_v constant_a here_o you_o see_v what_o the_o patience_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n be_v although_o they_o be_v renown_v in_o the_o world_n for_o courageous_a and_o stout_a fellow_n yet_o cease_v they_o not_o to_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n and_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o

against_o i_o or_o for_o that_o god_n be_v idle_a and_o have_v no_o mind_n of_o thing_n or_o rather_o else_o for_o that_o man_n state_n be_v such_o and_o so_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n such_o manner_n of_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o have_v their_o heart_n full_a of_o venom_n but_o god_n will_v have_v we_o patient_a after_o another_o manner_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n he_o will_v have_v we_o ready_o too_o endure_v all_o thing_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o good_a and_o evil_n proceed_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o he_o will_v have_v we_o too_o abide_v his_o chastisement_n desire_v nothing_o but_o too_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o renounce_a all_o our_o own_o affection_n and_o though_o it_o seem_v troublesome_a too_o we_o he_o will_v have_v we_o fight_n against_o our_o own_o wicked_a lust_n and_o too_o resist_v they_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o he_o alone_o may_v continue_v our_o master_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v that_o patientness_n so_o frank_a and_o free_a in_o we_o if_o we_o take_v not_o occasion_n too_o comfort_v ourselves_o in_o god_n and_o how_o will_v that_o be_v it_o behove_v we_o too_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o he_o purpose_v not_o our_o destruction_n but_o rather_o procure_v our_o welfare_n for_o as_o for_o he_o that_o imagine_v and_o deem_v god_n too_o be_v bend_v against_o he_o he_o can_v not_o but_o fall_v into_o some_o grief_n and_o anguish_n of_o mind_n yea_o and_o even_o into_o some_o frenzy_n to_o play_v the_o savage_a beast_n and_o to_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n can_v we_o love_v god_n when_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o undo_v we_o and_o to_o destroy_v we_o so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o when_o god_n punish_v we_o it_o be_v not_o a_o token_n that_o he_o hate_v we_o nor_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o for_o his_o enemy_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o by_o that_o mean_a procure_v our_o salvation_n and_o here_o we_o see_v how_o that_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v our_o victory_n consist_v in_o take_v hold_n of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v that_o god_n have_v adopt_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n for_o if_o we_o have_v that_o principle_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v dismay_v with_o any_o affliction_n why_o so_o for_o sith_o that_o god_n love_v we_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v confound_v and_o so_o little_a shall_v our_o affliction_n hinder_v our_o welfare_n that_o they_o shall_v turn_v to_o our_o furtherance_n and_o god_n will_v work_v in_o such_o wise_a that_o our_o salvation_n shall_v be_v advance_v by_o the_o mean_n thereof_o so_o then_o see_v that_o job_n who_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o excellent_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n have_v be_v so_o grievous_o afflict_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o god_n do_v now_o and_o then_o suffer_v we_o too_o

the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a but_o we_o must_v come_v too_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n punish_v job_n not_o only_o in_o his_o

and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o too_o what_o purpose_n be_v that_o for_o we_o can_v not_o be_v patient_a as_o have_v be_v say_v already_o we_o must_v be_v well_o assure_v of_o the_o

that_o he_o deal_v rough_o with_o we_o job_n then_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v heretofore_o at_o god_n hand_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o make_v this_o

be_v very_o sharp_a and_o hard_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v like_v as_o medicine_n be_v bitter_a and_o troublesome_a and_o therefore_o must_v be_v somewhat_o sweeten_v that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o

that_o although_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v bend_v against_o we_o yet_o consider_v how_o we_o have_v find_v he_o so_o good_a and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o love_n after_o so_o many_o sort_n we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o even_o to_o the_o end_n for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n job_n offend_v not_o

sometime_o although_o we_o conceive_v evil_a imagination_n yet_o we_o hold_v they_o in_o so_o as_o no_o evil_a word_n escape_v we_o as_o how_o a_o man_n be_v tempt_v too_o be_v offend_v with_o god_n

here_o before_o we_o as_o a_o man_n right_o perfect_v in_o patience_n and_o for_o the_o better_a comprehend_v here_o of_o let_v we_o mark_v how_o saint_n james_n say_v that_o he_o which_o have_v not_o

sheweth_z himself_o too_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o singular_a grace_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o note_v here_o concern_v job_n namely_o how_o he_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o show_v any_o sturdiness_n against_o god_n that_o even_o all_o his_o word_n be_v so_o well_o order_v that_o whereas_o other_o man_n be_v light_a of_o speech_n and_o unable_a too_o rule_v their_o tongue_n

tend_v too_o the_o dishonour_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o tongue_n ought_v too_o be_v dedicate_v chief_o too_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v too_o apply_v all_o our_o member_n thereunto_o for_o like_a as_o he_o have_v create_v all_o so_o be_v it_o good_a reason_n that_o all_o shall_v be_v employ_v too_o his_o glory_n but_o he_o will_v have_v our_o tongue_n too_o sound_o in_o such_o wise_n in_o our_o mouth_n as_o they_o may_v be_v instrument_n too_o glorify_v he_o so_o as_o if_o we_o apply_v they_o too_o the_o contrary_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o pervert_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v give_v too_o that_o vice_n as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o difficulty_n than_o too_o withhold_v ourselves_o from_o it_o therefore_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n too_o call_v upon_o god_o that_o he_o may_v govern_v we_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v not_o utter_v one_o word_n that_o shall_v not_o be_v too_o his_o honour_n furthermore_o if_o we_o now_o and_o then_o conceive_v some_o evil_a imagination_n as_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v many_o wicked_a thought_n consider_v our_o great_a frailty_n and_o how_o satan_n egg_v we_o to_o this_o or_o that_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v already_o

that_o we_o enter_v not_o into_o disputation_n and_o plead_n against_o god_n but_o rather_o that_o we_o learn_v to_o bridle_v yea_o and_o to_o rebuke_v ourselves_o just_o thus_o we_o see_v we_o must_v be_v sharp_a to_o condemn_v such_o vice_n as_o be_v in_o we_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v the_o beastliness_n that_o have_v reign_v and_o reign_v yet_o still_o at_o this_o day_n among_o the_o papist_n for_o they_o say_v in_o their_o synagoge_n that_o if_o a_o man_n fall_v in_o doubt_n whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no_o or_o whether_o god_n be_v righteous_a or_o no_o or_o if_o he_o

over_o all_o among_o the_o papist_n and_o well_o worthy_a be_v they_o of_o such_o resolution_n forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n in_o they_o by_o mean_n whereof_o they_o make_v so_o light_a of_o sin_n as_o if_o it_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o make_v it_o to_o be_v but_o a_o venial_a sin_n when_o a_o man_n have_v offend_v god_n deadly_a which_o be_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v the_o horrible_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n he_o need_v but_o one_o sprinkle_v with_o holy-water_n and_o by_o and_o by_o he_o be_v discharge_v towards_o god_n but_o for_o our_o part_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o let_v we_o think_v that_o if_o we_o be_v provoke_v by_o any_o wicked_a doubtingnesse_n we_o be_v condemn_v already_o before_o god_n then_o let_v we_o prevent_v his_o

we_o up_o in_o our_o infirmity_n conditional_o that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n we_o shake_v off_o all_o such_o thing_n and_o agree_v not_o to_o put_v the_o wicked_a imagination_n in_o practice_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o deal_v in_o this_o behalf_n it_o be_v consequent_o say_v that_o three_o of_o job_n friend_n have_v hear_v of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o be_v happen_v unto_o he_o take_v advice_n to_o visit_v he_o and_o to_o what_o end_n to_o have_v compassion_n of_o he_o and_o to_o comfort_v he_o it_o be_v a_o good_a likelihood_n at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o god_n mean_v to_o relieve_v his_o servant_n job_n when_o he_o send_v man_n unto_o he_o that_o pretend_v to_o have_v pity_n upon_o his_o misery_n and_o be_v skilful_a and_o wise_a to_o comfort_v he_o as_o we_o well_o shall_v see_v by_o their_o discourse_n anon_o after_o how_o they_o be_v exquisite_a person_n and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v suppose_v that_o god_n will_v henceforth_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n unto_o job_n to_o deliver_v he_o from_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o have_v send_v he_o but_o we_o see_v that_o this_o

we_o take_v warning_n by_o such_o example_n that_o although_o we_o be_v well_o mind_v towards_o our_o neighbour_n and_o be_v desirous_a to_o comfort_v they_o in_o their_o misery_n yet_o god_n must_v

too_o drive_v a_o poor_a man_n to_o despair_n which_o feel_v too_o much_o of_o his_o misery_n before_o we_o see_v how_o
that_o god_n will_v not_o have_v handle_v he_o so_o sharp_o except_o he_o have_v be_v a_o castaway_n and_o so_o they_o take_v such_o a_o conceit_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o excessive_a misery_n that_o

we_o say_v that_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o present_a life_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v occasion_n too_o sigh_v not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v so_o miserable_a or_o for_o

his_o image_n ought_v to_o shine_v forth_o in_o we_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o have_v conspire_v too_o do_v he_o spite_v and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n lament_v and_o we_o see_v here_o the_o true_a sorrow_n which_o christian_n ought_v to_o make_v but_o not_o for_o their_o have_v of_o cold_a and_o heat_n not_o for_o their_o endure_v of_o disease_n and_o other_o calamity_n but_o for_o that_o they_o see_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o prison_n and_o bondage_n of_o sin_n wretch_n that_o i_o be_o say_v saint_n paul_n and_o say_v he_o so_o because_o he_o be_v

as_o we_o can_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n attain_v to_o dedicate_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a number_n of_o our_o corruption_n which_o cease_v not_o too_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_a thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o may_v lament_v our_o case_n after_o the_o example_n of_o saint_n paul_n who_o give_v we_o a_o rule_n thereof_o but_o here_o we_o see_v how_o job_n curse_v the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n wherein_o he_o be_v not_o too_o be_v excuse_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o overshoot_v not_o himself_o and_o why_o so_o for_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o join_v they_o both_o together_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n create_v we_o he_o also_o print_v his_o own_o image_n in_o we_o and_o do_v we_o the_o honour_n too_o be_v the_o excellent_a of_o all_o his_o creature_n in_o which_o respect_n we_o have_v cause_n too_o bliss_n his_o name_n continual_o and_o although_o this_o life_n be_v so_o full_a of_o misery_n as_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o yet_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o as_o we_o can_v not_o sufficient_o value_v the_o inestimable_a benefit_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o give_v we_o this_o present_a life_n because_o that_o by_o maintain_v we_o therein_o he_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o and_o will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n forsake_v we_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v see_v we_o have_v this_o have_v we_o not_o whereof_o too_o rejoice_v even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o adversity_n so_o then_o the_o faithful_a man_n which_o speak_v with_o good_a advisement_n will_v never_o curse_v the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n what_o misery_n soever_o he_o endure_v job_n therefore_o behave_v himself_o unthankful_o to_o godward_o in_o curse_v so_o the_o day_n of_o his_o birth_n and_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o he_o deserve_v not_o blame_v for_o pass_v his_o bound_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n may_v also_o bliss_n their_o byrthday_n i_o mean_v in_o not_o consider_v their_o want_n too_o bewail_v themselves_o with_o saint_n paul_n but_o simple_o in_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v they_o when_o he_o send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o heathen_a man_n abuse_v it_o for_o when_o they_o solemnize_v their_o byrthday_n they_o do_v it_o too_o exceed_v in_o many_o folly_n and_o superfluous_a pomp_n but_o the_o very_a original_n and_o wellspring_n of_o the_o solemnize_n of_o byrthdaye_n be_v for_o that_o the_o holy_a father_n know_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n too_o yield_v god_n thanks_n and_o therefore_o they_o hold_v that_o day_n as_o a_o solemn_a feast_n to_o the_o end_n to_o provoke_v themselves_o to_o praise_v god_n yea_o very_o for_o when_o we_o have_v pass_v some_o year_n of_o our_o life_n although_o we_o ought_v too_o call_v god_n benefit_n too_o remembrance_n incessant_o yet_o be_v it_o requisite_a that_o at_o the_o day_n of_o our_o entrance_n into_o the_o world_n there_o shall_v be_v keep_v a_o everlasting_a memorial_n of_o they_o so_o as_o we_o may_v say_v i_o see_v well_o that_o this_o year_n be_v past_a god_n have_v bring_v i_o hitherto_o i_o have_v off_o end_v he_o many_o way_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o i_o shall_v now_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n but_o above_o all_o thing_n he_o have_v show_v i_o great_a favour_n he_o have_v maintain_v i_o always_o in_o hope_n of_o the_o salvation_n that_o he_o have_v give_v i_o and_o he_o have_v deliver_v i_o from_o many_o danger_n and_o therefore_o it_o become_v i_o too_o call_v the_o same_o to_o remembrance_n and_o now_o that_o i_o be_o too_o enter_v into_o another_o year_n it_o be_v good_a that_o i_o prepare_v myself_o to_o the_o

hundred_o thousand_o time_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a father_n be_v wont_v to_o solemnize_v their_o byrthdaye_n and_o how_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a exercise_n the_o heathen_a man_n i_o say_v have_v abuse_v it_o and_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n how_o they_o that_o call_v themselves_o christian_n do_v play_v flat_a mockholyday_n with_o god_n when_o they_o solemnize_v their_o byrthdaye_n for_o they_o make_v no_o reckon_v of_o prayer_n nor_o of_o thanksgiving_n nor_o of_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o their_o sin_n nor_o of_o god_n benefit_n but_o of_o

have_v set_v we_o here_o in_o this_o world_n too_o be_v his_o child_n he_o have_v not_o put_v we_o forth_o as_o ox_n and_o dog_n but_o as_o reasonable_a creature_n that_o bear_v his_o image_n and_o further_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n and_o that_o besides_o our_o creation_n god_n have_v also_o moreover_o print_v his_o mark_n

and_o that_o their_o own_o affliction_n do_v too_o much_o overmaster_v they_o even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o job._n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v the_o more_o cause_n too_o pray_v unto_o

return_v by_o and_o by_o again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v here_o but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v curse_a be_v the_o night_n wherein_o word_n be_v

have_v ordain_v man_n as_o the_o head_n and_o give_v he_o the_o dignity_n and_o pre-eminence_n over_o the_o woman_n and_o here_o we_o see_v also_o why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o man_n must_v

it_o behove_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v create_v we_o and_o put_v we_o into_o this_o world_n imprint_v his_o own_o image_n in_o we_o and_o give_v we_o many_o token_n to_o know_v that_o

better_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v unborn_a than_o to_o be_v utter_o leave_v up_o unto_o misery_n in_o so_o much_o as_o our_o lord_n say_v unhappy_a be_v he_o by_o who_o offence_n come_v it_o be_v far_o better_o for_o such_o a_o man_n that_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v yea_o but_o when_o the_o case_n stand_v but_o upon_o the_o suffering_n of_o calamity_n and_o trouble_n we_o must_v not_o

for_o i_o be_o unhappy_a but_o yet_o therewithal_o he_o say_v thank_n be_v to_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n lo_o here_o how_o saint_n paul_n on_o the_o one_o side_n call_v himself_o

we_o mark_v how_o job_n have_v do_v amiss_o in_o two_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o not_o have_v the_o regard_n that_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v in_o desire_a death_n and_o also_o in_o not_o keep_v measure_n here_o we_o see_v two_o fault_n that_o be_v very_o gross_a when_o i_o say_v that_o job_n have_v not_o his_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o the_o mark_n that_o he_o ought_v i_o mean_v that_o his_o wysh_n for_o death_n be_v not_o because_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o miserable_a sinner_n and_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o perfection_n which_o all_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o

and_o so_o he_o desire_v death_n because_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o that_o god_n press_v he_o oversore_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o first_o fault_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o but_o if_o we_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o own_o use_n it_o will_v be_v yet_o better_o understand_v and_o apparent_a if_o a_o man_n search_v and_o try_v himself_o thorough_o and_o think_v thus_o with_o himself_o i_o be_o

over_o we_o then_o be_o i_o the_o bondslave_n of_o satan_n and_o of_o death_n oh_o my_o god_n must_v i_o tarry_v evermore_o in_o this_o weerysome_n plight_n a_o christian_a man_n may_v well_o have_v such_o sigh_n and_o beseech_v god_n to_o set_v he_o free_a from_o such_o a_o bondage_n wherein_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o be_v but_o if_o the_o matter_n concern_v adversity_n we_o must_v regard_v

out_o of_o s._n paul_n for_o after_o he_o have_v make_v his_o moan_n and_o wish_v to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o this_o prison_n of_o death_n he_o add_v i_o thank_v my_o god_n and_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v quiet_a even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o those_o complaint_n and_o long_n and_o why_o so_o for_o he_o see_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o master_n and_o govern_v we_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v patient_o wait_v for_o such_o end_n as_o he_o list_v to_o give_v we_o s._n paul_n perceive_v this_o conclude_v immediate_o that_o although_o he_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v guide_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o his_o salvation_n can_v not_o miscarry_v s._n paul_n they_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o those_o two_o thing_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o he_o yield_v god_n thanks_n notwithstanding_o that_o he_o be_v in_o misery_n even_o so_o must_v we_o do_v and_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v the_o ready_a to_o endure_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o world_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v both_o in_o our_o person_n and_o in_o

that_o as_o for_o himself_o it_o shall_v be_v far_o better_o for_o he_o to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o for_o your_o sake_n say_v he_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o i_o live_v because_o i_o know_v that_o you_o have_v as_o yet_o need_v of_o my_o labour_n and_o that_o god_n employ_v i_o about_o the_o edify_n of_o your_o faith_n and_o unto_o he_o do_v i_o submit_v myself_o and_o afterward_o he_o say_v although_o it_o be_v for_o my_o behoof_n to_o go_v hence_o out_o of_o hand_n yet_o be_o i_o willing_a to_o abide_v here_o still_o lo_o how_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v all_o man_n to_o submit_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o god_n pleasure_n as_o while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n they_o may_v not_o only_o bear_v their_o affliction_n patient_o but_o also_o be_v

thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v but_o what_o this_o lesson_n be_v not_o yet_o understand_v for_o asmuch_o as_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o put_v it_o in_o ure_n for_o if_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o rest_n you_o shall_v see_v we_o so_o blind_v with_o vain_a and_o fond_a joy_n and_o we_o be_v so_o oversot_v as_o we_o know_v neither_o death_n nor_o our_o own_o frailty_n any_o more_o neither_o have_v we_o any_o discretion_n at_o all_o and_o if_o god_n visit_v we_o with_o any_o affliction_n it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v ask_v whether_o we_o blaspheme_v or_o no_o or_o whether_o

the_o aid_n that_o god_n give_v they_o how_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v utter_o overcome_v by_o satan_n and_o thereupon_o do_v quiet_a themselves_o and_o take_v comfort_n in_o that_o he_o

notwithstanding_o they_o must_v restrain_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v whole_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n good_a pleasure_n know_v that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v for_o

oftentimes_o swerve_v aside_o and_o which_o more_o be_v we_o must_v sigh_v but_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o often_o as_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o

that_o he_o mean_v to_o destroy_v they_o utter_o to_o be_v short_a if_o we_o will_v be_v discreet_a judger_n of_o the_o chastizement_n and_o correction_n that_o god_n send_v upon_o man_n we_o must_v

that_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o overshoot_v themselves_o they_o see_v job_n smite_v with_o extremity_n and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o show_v in_o he_o a_o

although_o then_o that_o our_o affliction_n be_v great_a and_o excessive_a yet_o must_v we_o still_o hope_v for_o god_n help_n which_o doubtless_o will_v be_v beyond_o all_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n

from_o the_o reprobate_n and_o despiser_n of_o his_o word_n as_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o hard-hearted_a man_n shall_v be_v tame_v by_o force_n of_o stripe_n like_o a_o mule_n or_o a_o restye_n

there_o be_v cause_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v this_o lesson_n the_o better_a and_o now_o eliphas_n add_v consider_v if_o ever_o any_o righteous_a man_n have_v perish_v mark_v if_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n have_v be_v root_v out_o eliphas_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o take_v here_o a_o good_a sentence_n so_o as_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o bring_v here_o against_o job_n be_v good_a and_o holy_a notwithstanding_o that_o the_o case_n be_v evil_a and_o sure_o the_o principle_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o god_n pure_a truth_n by_o reason_n whereof_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v pronounce_v this_o say_n that_o never_o any_o righteous_a man_n have_v yet_o perish_v and_o that_o never_o any_o right_a deal_n man_n have_v be_v destroy_v neither_o can_v any_o such_o thing_n happen_v why_o so_o for_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o the_o righteous_a as_o it_o be_v say_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v upon_o the_o righteous_a and_o his_o ear_n be_v open_a to_o their_o prayer_n to_o hear_v they_o and_o to_o succour_v they_o at_o their_o need_n the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o this_o matter_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n hand_n be_v stretch_v out_o to_o preserve_v the_o righteous_a which_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o for_o needs_o must_v the_o devil_n have_v be_v strong_a than_o god_n if_o the_o righteous_a may_v have_v perish_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o always_o have_v recourse_n to_o this_o sentence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n who_o have_v put_v you_o into_o my_o hand_n be_v strong_a than_o all_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o our_o welfare_n shall_v never_o be_v in_o hazard_n for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n take_v we_o into_o his_o keep_n wherefore_o for_o he_o will_v spread_v out_o his_o power_n we_o to_o maintain_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o our_o welfare_n be_v in_o good_a surety_n when_o god_n have_v once_o take_v charge_n of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a doctrine_n that_o the_o righteous_a can_v not_o perish_v nor_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n be_v root_v out_o but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n perish_v and_o afflict_v for_o punishment_n and_o affliction_n serve_v not_o always_o to_o destroy_v man_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v partly_o already_o yet_o may_v the_o affliction_n be_v so_o grievous_a sometime_o as_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v deadly_a what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v conclude_v according_a as_o i_o have_v show_v here_o before_o that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n chalendge_v it_o to_o be_v his_o office_n to_o pull_v man_n out_o of_o their_o grave_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v succour_v by_o he_o when_o we_o have_v endure_v for_o a_o time_n we_o see_v then_o that_o eliphas_n misappli_v his_o matter_n as_o though_o job_n be_v perish_v already_o and_o that_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o utter_o without_o any_o remedy_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n altogether_o disfigure_v irksome_a to_o behold_v and_o a_o spectacle_n that_o may_v show_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o love_v he_o as_o we_o may_v see_v and_o as_o experience_n show_v at_o the_o end_n eliphas_n therefore_o be_v prevent_v with_o a_o dread_n which_o make_v he_o to_o misdeem_v in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o leave_v no_o more_o room_n for_o god_n mercy_n and_o smear_v goodness_n lo_o wherein_o he_o overshoot_v himself_o also_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n in_o such_o miserable_a plight_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o fordo_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n of_o his_o recovery_n let_v we_o learn_v let_v we_o learn_v i_o say_v to_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n and_o to_o hope_v that_o he_o can_v yet_o still_o remedy_v the_o mischief_n that_o seem_v incurable_a true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o man_n expectation_n all_o may_v be_v fordo_v but_o god_n have_v mean_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o whereby_o to_o succour_n his_o servant_n when_o he_o list_v to_o show_v himself_o pitiful_a towards_o they_o let_v we_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o show_v we_o the_o end_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o suspend_v our_o judgement_n lest_o we_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v over_o hasty_a and_o rash_a thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v those_o that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v overthrow_v and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o quicken_v they_o again_o although_o they_o be_v already_o dead_a but_o we_o must_v not_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n only_o to_o our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v also_o practice_v it_o each_o one_o of_o we_o in_o himself_o and_o wherefore_o for_o when_o god_n send_v we_o many_o great_a trouble_n and_o by_o and_o by_o we_o conceive_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o job_n we_o need_v no_o eliphas_n to_o vex_v we_o &_o to_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v pass_v recovery_n there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o that_o have_v not_o the_o seed_n of_o harburning_a in_o himself_o to_o trouble_v &_o to_o martyr_v himself_o in_o his_o affliction_n yea_o even_o to_o drive_v we_o into_o despair_n our_o own_o nature_n afford_v we_o that_o so_o then_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o we_o he_o trouble_v with_o such_o a_o imagination_n at_o this_o how_o now_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v he_o and_o thou_o pine_v away_o here_o yea_o even_o with_o extremity_n thou_o call_v upon_o god_n &_o he_o answer_v thou_o not_o where_o be_v his_o promise_n thou_o see_v well_o enough_o he_o have_v shake_v thou_o off_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o thou_o shall_v any_o more_o think_v that_o he_o account_v thou_o for_o any_o of_o he_o for_o if_o thou_o be_v it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o he_o to_o look_v upon_o thou_o and_o to_o pity_v thou_o now_o or_o never_o but_o he_o shut_v his_o eye_n and_o make_v as_o though_o he_o see_v thou_o not_o and_o therefore_o thou_o see_v he_o have_v

have_v we_o need_v to_o be_v fence_a against_o such_o a_o conflict_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o when_o any_o man_n mind_n cast_v such_o temptation_n before_o he_o he_o must_v answer_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o never_o righteous_a man_n yet_o perish_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o right_a deal_n man_n can_v not_o be_v root/rot_z out_o but_o what_o be_v this_o perish_v it_o be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v only_o afflict_v and_o wherefore_o for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n raise_v up_o the_o dead_a that_o he_o give_v courage_n to_o such_o as_o be_v utter_o dismay_v and_o that_o he_o recover_v such_o as_o be_v wound_v to_o death_n when_o the_o scripture_n say_v so_o be_v it_o not_o to_o show_v that_o god_n utter_v his_o

must_v god_n work_v in_o we_o there_o be_v many_o other_o sentence_n which_o tend_v unto_o the_o self_n same_o end_n so_o then_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n preserve_v not_o his_o servant_n as_o

as_o the_o very_a heathen_a have_v ever_o gaynsayde_v it_o what_o mystery_n then_o or_o what_o secret_n be_v there_o in_o this_o matter_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v more_o than_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o acknowledge_v it_o not_o sufficient_o neither_o be_v it_o sufficient_o imprint_v in_o we_o for_o be_v we_o full_o and_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o god_n righteousness_n and_o of_o our_o own_o naughtiness_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v as_o we_o common_o do_v there_o shall_v no_o grudge_n be_v hear_v in_o our_o mouth_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o gaynesay_n nor_o reply_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v be_v altogether_o quiet_a and_o when_o so_o ever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n too_o put_v we_o too_o shame_n we_o can_v confess_v he_o have_v good_a right_n so_o to_o do_v but_o now_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v man_n kick_v against_o god_n assoon_o as_o he_o touch_v they_o nay_o if_o he_o spare_v their_o sin_n and_o do_v but_o warn_v they_o of_o they_o they_o will_v not_o come_v to_o any_o true_a knowledgement_n of_o they_o and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v perceive_v hereby_o that_o all_o man_n be_v puff_v up_o with_o presumptuousness_n and_o know_v not_o what_o god_n righteousness_n be_v that_o they_o may_v humble_v themselves_o under_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o

themselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n also_o do_v saint_n paul_n take_v it_o when_o he_o tell_v the_o roman_n how_o it_o be_v a_o unknown_a and_o secret_a thing_n unto_o man_n that_o god_n purpose_v too_o utter_v forth_o his_o righteousness_n by_o jesus_n chryst_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v acknowledge_v themselves_o indebt_v unto_o

see_v here_o a_o very_a troublesome_a temptation_n when_o god_n seem_v too_o make_v none_o account_v of_o succour_v we_o at_o such_o time_n as_o man_n missintreate_v we_o and_o persecute_v we_o and_o therefore_o to_o comfort_v our_o slue_n withal_o we_o must_v practice_v this_o lesson_n in_o all_o our_o trouble_n and_o encumbrance_n which_o be_v that_o though_o the_o wicked_a be_v in_o their_o

amiss_o we_o must_v take_v this_o for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o king_n and_o prince_n so_o as_o they_o take_v their_o

but_o it_o must_v have_v leisure_n to_o show_v itself_o and_o on_o the_o otherside_n we_o must_v behold_v the_o thing_n though_o it_o can_v be_v see_v with_o eye_n yea_o we_o must_v behold_v it_o by_o

and_o man_n clap_v their_o hand_n at_o they_o on_o all_o side_n we_o must_v curse_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v with_o ourselves_o that_o all_o this_o be_v

let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o give_v not_o we_o scope_n to_o wish_v the_o mischief_n or_o confusion_n of_o the_o party_n i_o mean_v through_o desire_n of_o vengeance_n as_o oftentimes_o we_o be_v so_o

therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o be_v judge_n for_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o rashness_n if_o we_o shall_v take_v so_o much_o pre-eminence_n upon_o we_o as_o to_o say_v oh_o that_o man_n
