his_o disciple_n i_o have_v meat_n to_o eat_v that_o you_o know_v not_o on_o so_o the_o saint_n have_v joy_n that_o the_o world_n see_v not_o nay_o that_o they_o can_v see_v the_o natural_a man_n perceive_v no●_n the_o thing_n of_o god_n so_o nor_o be_v they_o able_a to_o perceive_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o prceive_v they_o that_o count_v they_o but_o a_o burden_n it_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o saint_n to_o see_v the_o light_n of_o god_n countenance_n this_o put_v gladness_n in_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o in_o the_o time_n that_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v but_o they_o think_v not_o upon_o god_n god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n when_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n be_v bring_v into_o their_o mind_n it_o mar_v all_o their_o mirth_n the_o thought_n of_o god_n be_v melancholic_a thought_n therefore_o they_o think_v as_o seldom_o of_o he_o as_o they_o can_v it_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o saint_n to_o think_v of_o those_o sweet_a experience_n of_o god_n love_n and_o kindness_n thy_o love_a kindness_n be_v better_a than_o life_n and_o it_o be_v their_o delight_n to_o recount_v his_o favour_n i_o will_v remember_v the_o year_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o most_o high_a but_o these_o live_v by_o chance_n they_o never_o regard_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o the_o operation_n of_o his_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n his_o delight_n be_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o that_o law_n do_v he_o meditate_v day_n and_o night_n nay_o thy_o commandment_n be_v my_o delight_n say_v david_n not_o delight_n but_o delight_n a_o plurality_n of_o delight_n one_o man_n please_v himself_o in_o this_o thing_n and_o another_o in_o that_o but_o here_o he_o meet_v the_o pleasure_n of_o all_o recreation_n a_o multitude_n of_o delight_n but_o these_o they_o grow_v weary_a of_o it_o while_o their_o ear_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v as_o a_o bear_v tie_v to_o the_o stake_n therefore_o they_o say_v unto_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o we_o desire_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thy_o way_n it_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o saint_n to_o meet_v god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n my_o soul_n thirst_v for_o god_n yea_o even_o for_o the_o live_a god_n oh_o when_o shall_v i_o come_v and_o appear_v before_o god_n so_o they_o count_v the_o sabbath_n a_o delight_n but_o these_o how_o quick_o they_o be_v tire_v of_o it_o when_o will_v the_o new_a moon_n be_v go_v that_o we_o may_v sell_v corn_n and_o the_o sabbath_n that_o we_o may_v set_v forth_o wheat_n as_o the_o heathen_n think_v so_o think_v they_o that_o the_o jew_n lose_v a_o seven_o part_n of_o their_o time_n because_o they_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n a_o holy_a rest_n unto_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o saint_n to_o attend_v god_n service_n as_o their_o lord_n and_o master_n it_o be_v my_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o and_o to_o finish_v his_o work_n so_o david_n i_o delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o my_o god_n yea_o thy_o law_n be_v within_o my_o heart_n but_o these_o say_v they_o let_v we_o break_v his_o band_n asunder_o and_o cast_v away_o his_o cord_n from_o we_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o what_o profit_n be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v keep_v his_o ordinance_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o saint_n to_o think_v of_o heaven_n where_o the_o treasure_n be_v there_o will_v the_o heart_n be_v also_o so_o their_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n all_o their_o thought_n long_n desire_n and_o endeavour_n after_o it_o but_o these_o their_o affection_n be_v set_v upon_o the_o thing_n below_o and_o as_o that_o french_a cardinal_n they_o prefer_v their_o part_n in_o paris_n before_o that_o in_o paradise_n and_o gallio_n care_v for_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n thus_o we_o see_v their_o mistake_n account_v that_o a_o joy_n which_o be_v indeed_o their_o sorrow_n and_o that_o a_o burden_n which_o be_v the_o only_a joy_n oh_o but_o second_o say_v they_o do_v not_o we_o hear_v your_o complaint_n and_o see_v your_o tear_n and_o your_o life_n be_v bitter_a do_v

this_o be_v their_o weakness_n so_o david_n do_v acknowledge_v it_o psal_n 77.10_o this_o be_v my_o infirmity_n it_o be_v their_o ignorance_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n towards_o they_o who_o the_o

therefore_o he_o second_v it_o vers_n 3._o sorrow_n be_v better_a than_o laughter_n nay_o not_o only_o say_v it_o but_o prove_v it_o for_o by_o the_o sadness_n of_o the_o countenance_n the_o heart_n
