cease_v from_o our_o earthly_a affair_n and_o all_o worldly_a business_n to_o attend_v the_o better_a on_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v be_v exercise_v to_o know_v

and_o we_o know_v that_o god_n mean_v not_o we_o shall_v be_v idle_a as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n for_o he_o have_v give_v man_n hand_n and_o foot_n force_n and_o strength_n to_o this_o purpose_n yea_o before_o sin_n enter_v it_o be_v say_v that_o adam_n be_v place_v in_o the_o garden_n of_o eden_n to_o dress_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o albeit_o the_o labour_n and_o travel_v which_o man_n be_v now_o enjoin_v be_v a_o chastisement_n for_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v thus_o denounce_v they_o in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o face_n thou_o shall_v eat_v thy_o bread_n this_o be_v a_o

without_o trouble_v or_o torment_v himself_o but_o yet_o before_o that_o sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o be_v in_o this_o sort_n condemn_v of_o god_n to_o this_o painful_a &_o weariesome_a travel_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o man_n shall_v exercise_v themselves_o with_o some_o labour_n and_o why_o because_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o our_o nature_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o log_n and_o block_n unprofitable_a so_o than_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o some_o labour_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n but_o yet_o here_o in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v not_o simple_o command_v that_o we_o travel_v six_o day_n for_o indeed_o there_o be_v other_o solemnity_n under_o the_o law_n beside_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o complain_v of_o yield_v unto_o he_o one_o certain_a day_n when_o he_o leave_v unto_o we_o six_o for_o one_o as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v shall_v the_o cost_n and_o charge_n

to_o be_v grievous_a and_o burdensome_a unto_o you_o see_v you_o have_v six_o day_n free_a to_o traffic_v and_o to_o do_v your_o business_n in_o when_o i_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o you_o that_o i_o demand_v but_o one_o day_n of_o seven_o be_v not_o this_o a_o over_o great_a unthankfulness_n on_o your_o part_n if_o you_o complain_v of_o this_o time_n as_o be_v evil_o employ_v and_o if_o you_o be_v such_o covetous_a &_o niggardlie_a wretch_n as_o not_o to_o spare_v i_o one_o seven_o part_n of_o the_o time_n i_o have_v give_v you_o your_o whole_a life_n whensoever_o the_o sun_n

to_o it_o if_o we_o begin_v not_o at_o this_o love_n and_o why_o for_o god_n require_v a_o willing_a service_n he_o will_v not_o that_o we_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o servile_a fear_n but_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o we_o come_v unto_o his_o worship_n with_o a_o free_a &_o cheerful_a courage_n &_o take_v even_o a_o pleasure_n in_o obey_v &_o honour_v of_o he_o now_o this_o can_v not_o be_v except_o we_o love_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o that_o the_o beginning_n the_o fountain_n the_o foundation_n and_o root_n of_o obedience_n be_v this_o love_n of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o be_v

but_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o will_n and_o to_o be_v in_o all_o point_n conformable_a to_o the_o same_o and_o moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o love_n can_v not_o be_v in_o we_o before_o we_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o conceive_v god_n our_o adversary_n and_o contrary_a party_n we_o can_v not_o but_o flee_v he_o will_v we_o then_o love_v he_o will_v we_o be_v reform_v to_o his_o obedience_n to_o take_v a_o pleasure_n in_o his_o service_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o show_v himself_o love_v &_o favourable_a towards_o we_o when_o we_o shall_v so_o have_v cast_a the_o great_a love_n he_o bear_v we_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o father_n and_o when_o this_o love_n shall_v be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v obey_v he_o &_o his_o law_n shall_v bear_v rule_n in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n and_o in_o all_o our_o member_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v so_o rebellious_a against_o god_n but_o that_o we_o hate_v he_o as_o we_o have_v before_o say_v again_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v lead_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o &_o our_o do_n in_o order_n according_a to_o his_o justice_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v a_o certain_a conformity_n &_o melody_n between_o the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o all_o our_o desire_n &_o affection_n but_o yet_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v this_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v for_o he_o will_v not_o be_v know_v according_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v hear_v he_o speak_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o yield_v he_o this_o title_n of_o god_n but_o he_o will_v be_v know_v as_o he_o be_v namely_o just_a and_o good_a that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n &_o perfection_n of_o all_o wisdom_n of_o all_o power_n of_o all_o uprightness_n of_o all_o equity_n and_o justice_n now_o then_o let_v we_o conceive_v god_n as_o he_o be_v that_o be_v with_o his_o justice_n and_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o desire_v but_o to_o frame_v and_o fashion_n ourselves_o unto_o he_o contrary_a wise_a when_o we_o shall_v love_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o shall_v be_v wrap_v in_o wickedness_n as_o in_o a_o garment_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o we_o must_v hate_v he_o and_o why_o because_o here_o be_v no_o question_n of_o some_o bare_a nature_n &_o be_v neither_o aught_o we_o to_o imagine_v god_n as_o a_o idol_n but_o we_o must_v comprehend_v he_o in_o his_o justice_n it_o than_o we_o shall_v hate_v this_o which_o be_v in_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o justice_n &_o uprightness_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o hate_v he_o also_o for_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v himself_o he_o can_v be_v disguise_v he_o can_v be_v transfigure_v after_o our_o fancy_n he_o always_o abide_v like_o himself_o so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v all_o they_o which_o love_n god_n they_o fail_v not_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o law_n they_o cease_v not_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v knit_v together_o and_o be_v inseparable_a and_o this_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o here_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o take_v a_o warning_n that_o we_o have_v in_o great_a horror_n than_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o have_v all_o rebellion_n all_o sin_n and_o offence_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n to_o be_v proclaim_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o make_v open_a war_n with_o he_o now_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o can_v turn_v ourselves_o from_o he_o nor_o cast_v off_o his_o yoke_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v convict_v to_o have_v be_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v wage_v open_a battle_n with_o he_o and_o lo_o be_v not_o this_o a_o execrable_a thing_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v to_o have_v our_o sin_n and_o offence_n in_o horror_n and_o detestation_n forasmuch_o as_o by_o they_o we_o be_v accuse_v to_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o also_o must_v show_v himself_o our_o adversary_n party_n withal_o we_o be_v also_o warn_v to_o come_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o pure_a and_o sincere_a affection_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o withhold_v our_o foot_n and_o our_o hand_n and_o our_o eye_n from_o evil_a do_v but_o it_o behove_v that_o our_o heart_n go_v before_o and_o that_o god_n be_v serve_v of_o we_o with_o a_o true_a meaning_n mind_n and_o upright_o affection_n and_o this_o affection_n must_v not_o be_v force_v and_o constrain_v but_o it_o ought_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a love_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o will_v right_o observe_v his_o law_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o god_n be_v unto_o we_o a_o kind_a heart_a father_n gentle_a and_o favourable_a unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v to_o yield_v unto_o he_o like_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o withal_o let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o mock_v &_o deceive_v our_o self_n in_o protest_v that_o we_o love_v god_n if_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o this_o be_v not_o show_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n for_o when_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n moses_n add_v that_o they_o which_o love_v he_o do_v also_o keep_v his_o commandment_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o our_o life_n be_v answerable_a in_o this_o behalf_n and_o that_o it_o bear_v witness_v whether_o we_o love_v god_n or_o whether_o we_o hate_v he_o for_o the_o rest_n which_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n make_v comparison_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n with_o his_o favour_n and_o mercy_n say_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o that_o hate_v he_o to_o the_o third_o and_o four_o generation_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o in_o a_o thousand_o generation_n for_o by_o this_o he_o declare_v that_o which_o be_v better_o and_o more_o folly_n express_v in_o other_o sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_n great_o incline_v to_o compassion_n and_o pity_n 8._o that_o he_o be_v patient_a &_o of_o long_a suffering_n 5._o that_o his_o anger_n endure_v but_o a_o while_n that_o his_o mercy_n be_v to_o life_n &_o endure_v for_o ever_o you_o see_v then_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o draw_v man_n unto_o he_o by_o all_o lenity_n and_o gentleness_n and_o to_o use_v his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o they_o when_o he_o punish_v they_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v against_o his_o nature_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n aswell_o to_o punish_v as_o to_o show_v mercy_n but_o he_o will_v show_v we_o that_o his_o goodness_n be_v much_o more_o great_a and_o brief_o that_o he_o be_v not_o sharp_a and_o rigorous_a but_o desirous_a to_o lay_v open_a his_o heart_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o will_v suffer_v he_o for_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o will_v be_v know_v gracious_a and_o pitiful_a and_o this_o be_v that_o wherein_o his_o principal_a glory_n shine_v therefore_o let_v we_o note_v well_o that_o not_o for_o naught_o moses_n here_o assign_v a_o thousand_o generation_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o restrain_v his_o wrath_n &_o vengeance_n to_o a_o three_o or_o four_o generation_n as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o our_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v superstition_n unpunished_a when_o you_o shall_v have_v pervert_v his_o service_n and_o deface_v his_o honour_n busy_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o dream_n and_o dote_a fanste_n you_o shall_v sure_o feel_v the_o punishment_n and_o your_o

beside_o cost_v we_o nothing_o to_o aspire_v and_o to_o come_v to_o our_o god_n and_o that_o we_o need_v but_o to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v learn_v before_o at_o good_a

for_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o time_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o withal_o we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o alone_o think_v on_o god_n and_o call_v to_o mind_v his_o work_v on_o the_o sunday_n but_o we_o must_v meet_v together_o one_o certain_a day_n to_o make_v public_a confession_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v every_o day_n as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o because_o of_o the_o rawness_n and_o sloth_n of_o man_n it_o be_v behooveful_a to_o have_v one_o special_a day_n which_o may_v whole_o be_v dedicate_v and_o appoint_v to_o this_o use_n i_o confess_v well_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o indeed_o we_o observe_v not_o the_o day_n which_o be_v command_v the_o jew_n for_o this_o be_v the_o saturday_n but_o to_o show_v the_o liberty_n of_o christian_n the_o day_n have_v be_v change_v to_o the_o sunday_n forasmuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o resurrection_n have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n &_o have_v cancel_v the_o bond_n thereof_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o this_o change_n have_v be_v make_v in_o the_o

and_o liberty_n of_o christian_n but_o that_o the_o whole_a people_n may_v be_v assemble_v it_o be_v convenient_a that_o one_o certain_a day_n be_v ordain_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n together_o in_o common_a to_o have_v the_o invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o to_o show_v a_o unity_n and_o concord_n in_o faith_n and_o religion_n it_o suffice_v not_o then_o that_o every_o one_o withdraw_v himself_o into_o his_o own_o house_n either_o to_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o come_v into_o the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o there_o declare_v the_o concord_n and_o agreement_n we_o have_v with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o celebrate_v in_o such_o wise_a this_o order_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v

year_n to_o the_o sermon_n but_o what_o to_o do_v even_o to_o make_v a_o mockery_n of_o god_n and_o of_o all_o his_o doctrine_n these_o be_v indeed_o in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o hog_n which_o come_v to_o defile_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o deserve_v rather_o to_o be_v in_o stable_n and_o better_o it_o be_v they_o hold_v themselves_o in_o their_o stink_a den_n to_o speak_v brief_o it_o be_v better_a that_o such_o knave_n be_v altogegether_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n than_o to_o show_v themselves_o in_o the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a but_o yet_o how_o many_o time_n come_v they_o among_o they_o the_o bell_n shall_v ring_v long_o enough_o before_o a_o man_n may_v espy_v they_o in_o any_o place_n so_o then_o we_o ought_v with_o more_o diligence_n to_o take_v

we_o must_v abolish_v all_o superstition_n for_o we_o see_v how_o among_o papist_n man_n think_v to_o serve_v god_n by_o sloth_n and_o idleness_n this_o be_v not_o the_o manner_n after_o which_o we_o

when_o he_o be_v not_o marry_v now_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o see_v how_o god_n be_v mock_v with_o so_o wicked_a and_o devilish_a a_o presumption_n for_o consider_v we_o what_o beastly_a
