s._n paul_n 6._o handle_v the_o same_o matter_n of_o wicked_a speech_n which_o defile_v and_o infect_v we_o with_o evil_a vice_n 9_o now_o that_o of_o other_o be_v the_o worst_a when_o man_n speak_v of_o god_n in_o mockery_n when_o one_o will_v scorn_v &_o sloute_z he_o when_o one_o make_v a_o jest_n of_o he_o not_o only_o after_o a_o fashion_n fond_a and_o vain_a but_o villainous_a and_o execrable_a be_v not_o this_o even_o of_o purpose_n and_o wilful_a malice_n to_o violate_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o be_v do_v and_o common_o use_v so_o that_o there_o shall_v scarce_o be_v any_o long_a discourse_n make_v or_o great_a matter_n maintain_v which_o have_v not_o i_o know_v not_o what_o intermingle_v whereby_o god_n shall_v be_v contemn_v &_o set_v at_o naught_o show_v we_o not_o then_o hereby_o that_o we_o never_o know_v aright_o what_o it_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o well_o we_o shall_v say_v every_o day_n thy_o name_n be_v hallow_v but_o we_o do_v all_o the_o contrary_a shall_v there_o then_o any_o other_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n light_n on_o our_o head_n than_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o church_n we_o will_v confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n that_o we_o desire_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_o be_v maintain_v in_o his_o due_a honour_n we_o will_v say_v as_o much_o at_o the_o table_n and_o every_o one_o when_o he_o rise_v and_o lay_v he_o down_o to_o sleep_v i_o speak_v of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o altogether_o brutish_a for_o there_o be_v some_o which_o know_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v to_o make_v prayer_n unto_o god_o but_o they_o which_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o honesty_n as_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n they_o shall_v well_o say_v with_o the_o mouth_n thy_o name_n be_v sanctify_v but_o this_o be_v scarce_o go_v from_o the_o tip_n of_o their_o tongue_n and_o behold_v a_o false_a oath_n in_o their_o mouth_n and_o they_o will_v toss_v the_o name_n of_o god_o hither_o and_o thither_o and_o whither_o tend_v his_o wickedness_n but_o to_o the_o violate_v of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_o and_o to_o the_o despite_a of_o he_o as_o if_o we_o will_v give_v he_o a_o blow_n with_o a_o dagger_n or_o spit_v in_o his_o face_n and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o need_v no_o other_o judge_n to_o condemn_v we_o in_o our_o false_a oath_n than_o this_o protestation_n which_o we_o make_v when_o we_o desire_v of_o god_o that_o he_o will_v maintain_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o name_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o seek_v to_o deface_v it_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o now_o it_o rest_v that_o we_o must_v speak_v of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_o in_o all_o reverence_n especial_o when_o we_o talk_v of_o he_o work_v as_o how_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n whether_o he_o send_v fair_a weather_n or_o rain_n ●oe_v these_o be_v mark_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n if_o he_o send_v we_o contrary_a season_n be_v show_v himself_o as_o a_o judge_n to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n that_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o bewail_v they_o and_o to_o be_v lead_v to_o repentance_n now_o if_o in_o stead_n of_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o have_v a_o displeasure_n with_o ourselves_o for_o our_o offence_n we_o be_v wayward_a and_o overthwart_a as_o we_o see_v that_o some_o man_n be_v wont_v despiteful_o to_o say_v and_o must_v this_o season_n continue_v in_o this_o sort_n and_o thus_o long_o and_o have_v not_o recourse_n to_o our_o god_n beseech_v he_o to_o pardon_v our_o fault_n this_o shall_v be_v to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o bring_v this_o example_n only_o to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n it_o behoove_v that_o either_o we_o perceive_v he_o to_o be_v a_o father_n in_o his_o goodness_n or_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n in_o his_o rigour_n and_o severity_n therefore_o when_o god_n shall_v do_v thing_n which_o shall_v not_o fall_v out_o to_o our_o mind_n and_o which_o shall_v be_v contrary_a to_o our_o wish_n and_o desire_n let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o grieve_v and_o chastise_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o sin_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o to_o be_v displease_v with_o they_o if_o then_o we_o glorify_v not_o god_n in_o this_o thing_n we_o unhallow_a his_o holy_a name_n and_o again_o when_o god_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n draw_v we_o to_o himself_o in_o all_o gentleness_n as_o a_o love_a and_o pitiful_a father_n this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v lead_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o we_o honour_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o and_o if_o our_o unthankfulness_n be_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o not_o honour_v he_o in_o the_o first_o word_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v speak_v what_o shall_v be_v say_v when_o we_o shall_v be_v upbraid_v of_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o by_o all_o the_o way_n god_o shall_v have_v seek_v to_o draw_v and_o allure_v we_o he_o may_v win_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o none_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o shall_v have_v show_v ourselves_o contemner_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o shall_v have_v tread_v his_o work_n under_o our_o foot_n or_o shall_v have_v cast_v down_o the_o groin_n as_o hog_n and_o repine_v against_o he_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v not_o this_o be_v a_o horrible_a condemnation_n if_o we_o be_v condemn_v hereof_o now_o although_o god_n have_v imprint_v some_o mark_n of_o his_o majesty_n in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v know_v of_o we_o in_o rain_n in_o fair_a weather_n in_o heat_n in_o cold_a brief_o in_o all_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n yet_o have_v he_o especial_o imprint_v his_o mark_n in_o his_o word_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o intolerable_a and_o inexcusable_a vice_n when_o we_o reknowledge_v not_o god_n in_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v on_o we_o we_o hold_v our_o life_n of_o he_o that_o be_v in_o he_o we_o live_v as_o s._n paul_n speak_v 28._o so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o remembrance_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o benefit_n this_o be_v already_o a_o wonderful_a unthankfulness_n but_o as_o i_o have_v above_o say_v god_n above_o all_o will_v imprint_v his_o mark_n in_o his_o word_n let_v we_o behold_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v god_n declare_v full_o in_o they_o for_o what_o be_v this_o world_n but_o a_o lively_a image_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v 20._o in_o the_o which_o god_n show_v and_o declare_v himself_o for_o albeit_o he_o be_v invisible_a in_o his_o essence_n yet_o show_v he_o himself_o by_o his_o work_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v worship_v he_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o it_o shall_v we_o see_v a_o image_n wherein_o god_n open_v and_o declare_v himself_o much_o more_o plain_o &_o in_o more_o familiar_a wise_n unto_o we_o than_o he_o do_v either_o in_o the_o heaven_n or_o in_o the_o earth_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o neither_o sun_n nor_o moon_n although_o they_o geve_v light_n unto_o the_o world_n do_v so_o set_v forth_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n as_o do_v the_o law_n the_o prophet_n &_o the_o gospel_n now_o for_o all_o this_o how_o speak_v man_n of_o the_o scripture_n with_o what_o wicked_a boldness_n and_o presumption_n do_v not_o man_n i_o pray_v you_o at_o this_o day_n geve_v themselves_o to_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n according_a to_o their_o own_o fantasy_n and_o when_o man_n enter_v into_o a_o dispute_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n over_o the_o pot_n in_o tavern_n and_o alehouse_n be_v there_o any_o question_n of_o humble_v ourselves_o under_o it_o and_o that_o all_o know_v their_o own_o rudeness_n and_o infirmity_n desire_v of_o god_n his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o the_o end_n his_o secret_n and_o mystery_n be_v handle_v of_o we_o as_o it_o behove_v no_o but_o these_o dispute_n be_v as_o in_o way_n of_o mockery_n to_o sport_n ourselves_o and_o by_o this_o a_o man_n may_v see_v more_o than_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v how_o few_o there_o be_v true_o religious_a &_o godly_a in_o the_o world_n we_o see_v some_o make_v themselves_o game_n with_o the_o scripture_n draw_v it_o into_o proverbial_a sentence_n to_o move_v laughter_n that_o they_o make_v no_o other_o account_n than_o to_o jest_n and_o play_v with_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n which_o one_o may_v fashion_v as_o he_o list_v and_o turn_v any_o way_n it_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o he_o other_o be_v in_o their_o wander_a and_o flit_a

and_o even_o withdraw_v themselves_o from_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o they_o think_v this_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o monk_n and_o priest_n and_o in_o the_o end_n such_o a_o foolish_a and_o beastly_a opinion_n be_v conceive_v that_o man_n think_v all_o divinity_n ought_v to_o be_v cloister_v in_o their_o den_n and_o cabin_n now_o for_o all_o this_o this_o testimony_n have_v always_o remain_v and_o must_v endure_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n have_v speak_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n that_o he_o have_v not_o hide_v or_o draw_v himself_o back_o into_o some_o little_a angle_n and_o corner_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o this_o have_v be_v a_o most_o wicked_a unthankfulness_n in_o man_n that_o they_o have_v leave_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o clean_o cast_v off_o &_o forsake_v of_o all_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o heedful_o ought_v we_o to_o note_v this_o place_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n direct_v not_o his_o speech_n only_o to_o some_o great_a doctor_n but_o have_v communicate_v his_o voice_n to_o the_o wheel_n people_n even_o to_o the_o most_o simple_a &_o least_o among_o they_o and_o withal_o let_v we_o to_o who_o god_n have_v restore_v his_o world_n praise_n &_o magnify_v he_o for_o so_o inestimable_a a_o benefit_n whereof_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n have_v deprive_v themselves_o by_o their_o own_o malice_n and_o reckless_a negligence_n let_v we_o i_o say_v praise_n and_o extol_v his_o goodness_n that_o his_o word_n at_o this_o day_n sound_v in_o our_o ear_n that_o we_o may_v read_v it_o that_o all_o both_o private_o and_o public_o may_v be_v partaker_n thereof_o that_o this_o heavenly_a treasure_n be_v lay_v open_a unto_o we_o to_o use_v and_o to_o enjoy_v it_o behold_v a_o inestimable_a benefit_n &_o above_o all_o he_o bestow_v on_o we_o for_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o magnify_v our_o god_n as_o price_v this_o benefit_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n moreover_o let_v we_o be_v attentive_a to_o hear_v our_o god_o speak_v let_v none_o allege_v here_o any_o excuse_n to_o exempt_v himself_o from_o this_o duty_n for_o see_v that_o god_o speak_v to_o the_o whole_a company_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o all_o they_o which_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v every_o one_o in_o his_o degree_n and_o calling_n apply_v his_o study_n to_o profit_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_o and_o let_v we_o all_o in_o general_n take_v god_n for_o our_o master_n and_o let_v we_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v he_o always_o and_o as_o often_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o speak_v unto_o we_o as_o he_o cease_v not_o daily_a to_o do_v and_o thus_o much_o be_v note_v touch_v the_o first_o point_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_o have_v speak_v to_o the_o whole_a multitude_n and_o assembly_n now_o let_v we_o come_v unto_o the_o second_o point_n we_o note_v namely_o that_o he_o add_v nothing_o and_o this_o be_v say_v that_o we_o may_v with_o better_a courage_n hear_v that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o that_o which_o moses_n have_v write_v appertain_v to_o the_o law_n all_o that_o likewise_o which_o the_o prophet_n have_v leave_v in_o write_v final_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v adjoin_v in_o the_o gospel_n all_o this_o i_o say_v contain_v one_o substance_n of_o doctrine_n and_o the_o bible_n be_v big_a enough_o but_o yet_o because_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o wander_v far_o or_o make_v any_o great_a inquiry_n after_o that_o whereunto_o we_o ought_v to_o tend_v god_o have_v propose_v we_o one_o certain_a scope_n and_o mark_n at_o which_o in_o order_v our_o whole_a life_n we_o may_v aim_v and_o shoot_v at_o for_o all_o be_v refer_v to_o these_o ten_o sentence_n as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o then_o but_o count_n over_o our_o finger_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o god_o all_o be_v conclude_v in_o a_o short_a sum_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n to_o be_v good_a scholar_n under_o god_n therefore_o when_o god_n use_v such_o brevity_n be_v not_o man_n to_o to_o wicked_a and_o untoward_a if_o they_o refuse_v such_o a_o doctrine_n if_o they_o will_v not_o for_o all_o this_o be_v at_o so_o much_o leisure_n as_o to_o profit_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_o how_o therefore_o let_v we_o lay_v aside_o all_o such_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a reply_n to_o say_v oh_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v a_o deep_a sea_n it_o be_v a_o bottomless_a pit_n if_o a_o man_n enter_v into_o it_o which_o way_n shall_v he_o be_v able_a to_o get_v forth_o let_v we_o allege_v no_o such_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a 12._o that_o god_n show_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o which_o the_o angel_n desire_v to_o behold_v it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o can_v have_v but_o some_o small_a taste_n thereof_o while_o we_o dwell_v in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o we_o know_v in_o part_n 12._o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v and_o in_o darkness_n behold_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o glass_n that_o which_o we_o can_v not_o see_v as_o yet_o face_n to_o face_n all_o this_o be_v very_o true_a yet_o so_o be_v it_o notwithstanding_o that_o god_n have_v so_o conform_v and_o abase_v himself_o unto_o our_o rudeness_n and_o slenderness_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v easy_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o the_o least_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o understand_v so_o much_o as_o be_v profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n if_o with_o all_o there_o be_v thing_n doubtful_a and_o obscure_a let_v this_o sobriety_n be_v in_o we_o that_o we_o advance_v not_o our_o own_o judgement_n but_o that_o we_o first_o ask_v counsel_n at_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_o know_v that_o we_o be_v yet_o far_o from_o our_o perfection_n and_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o we_o may_v always_o glory_v in_o this_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v not_o leave_v we_o in_o doubtfulness_n and_o ignorance_n but_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o so_o sure_a and_o certain_a a_o way_n as_o wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o walk_v with_o great_a assurance_n know_v that_o he_o have_v not_o call_v we_o in_o vain_a unto_o himself_o when_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o uncertain_a and_o wander_a course_n to_o run_v but_o so_o certain_a a_o mark_n propose_v as_o whereunto_o if_o we_o shall_v directe_v our_o race_n we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o fear_v any_o err_a as_o destitute_a of_o some_o good_a guide_n and_o direction_n let_v we_o therefore_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o speak_v according_a unto_o his_o own_o nature_n for_o if_o he_o will_v speak_v in_o his_o own_o language_n shall_v he_o be_v understand_v of_o mortal_a creature_n alas_o no._n but_o how_o speak_v he_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n very_o he_o lisp_v and_o stut_v for_o our_o better_a understanding_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o become_v as_o a_o nurse_n of_o little_a child_n when_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n now_o when_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o himself_o ●_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o will_v show_v thereby_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n which_o so_o govern_v he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o this_o which_o be_v in_o s._n paul_n we_o shall_v find_v likewise_o in_o moses_n &_o in_o all_o the_o prophet_n let_v we_o then_o diligent_o note_v that_o god_n be_v make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o nurse_n which_o will_v not_o speak_v unto_o her_o infant_n as_o she_o will_v unto_o a_o man_n but_o will_v have_v respect_n unto_o the_o capacity_n of_o it_o so_o god_n abase_v himself_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o can_v not_o understand_v what_o he_o say_v except_o he_o submit_v himself_o to_o our_o understanding_n loe_o for_o what_o cause_n he_o be_v like_o a_o nurse_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o man_n may_v not_o perceive_v his_o great_a and_o infinite_a majesty_n to_o the_o which_o we_o can_v not_o come_v nor_o approach_v any_o thing_n near_o unto_o it_o see_v god_o have_v be_v so_o gentle_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o open_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o most_o familiar_a manner_n so_o much_o more_o grievous_a a_o condemnation_n shall_v
