to_o have_v such_o consideration_n and_o skill_n that_o if_o his_o hearer_n be_v fainthearted_a and_o slow_a he_o must_v exhort_v &_o encourage_v they_o by_o tell_v they_o that_o god_n never_o fail_v

that_o all_o the_o talk_n which_o he_o have_v utter_v in_o the_o air_n have_v be_v but_o a_o unprofitable_a sound_n and_o why_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o to_o strengthen_v the_o weak_a nor_o

and_o weldisposed_a to_o do_v good_a &_o have_v no_o break_a arm_n nor_o tremble_a knee_n but_o a_o lusty_a cheerfulness_n to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n &_o our_o

of_o teach_v tend_v always_o to_o that_o mark_n and_o let_v every_o of_o we_o have_v the_o discretion_n to_o consider_v on_o his_o own_o behalf_n that_o when_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o come_v to_o a_o sermon_n now_o they_o if_o i_o be_v weak_a &_o have_v need_n to_o gather_v strength_n it_o behove_v i_o to_o be_v heedful_a that_o i_o may_v receive_v the_o remedy_n which_o god_n

presume_v so_o far_o upon_o their_o own_o natural_a wit_n but_o god_n laugh_v such_o overween_a to_o scorn_n and_o show_v plain_o how_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n in_o all_o their_o gay_a

let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o all_o of_o we_o both_o great_a and_o small_a be_v as_o poor_a blind_a buzzard_n &_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o man_n but_o ignorance_n until_o we_o have_v

teach_v the_o ignorant_a be_v not_o give_v to_o it_o in_o vain_a lo_o here_o the_o cause_n why_o job_n upbraid_v bildad_o that_o he_o have_v not_o give_v counsel_n to_o he_o that_o be_v destitute_a of_o wisdom_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o blemish_v the_o doctrine_n for_o want_v of_o know_v how_o to_o apply_v it_o wise_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o reproach_n light_v not_o upon_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o use_v god_n word_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o it_o may_v serve_v we_o to_o good_a instruction_n that_o by_o receive_v such_o doctrine_n we_o may_v cease_v to_o be_v any_o more_o as_o wretched_a beast_n that_o go_v astray_o also_o let_v he_o to_o who_o god_n have_v commit_v the_o office_n of_o teach_v other_o consider_v well_o that_o whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o man_n must_v be_v govern_v by_o the_o hand_n &_o mouth_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v convince_v they_o of_o their_o ignorance_n they_o glory_v in_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o pull_v down_o such_o pride_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n ought_v to_o serve_v too_o pull_v down_o all_o loftiness_n that_o advance_v itself_o against_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o according_a to_o his_o say_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n too_o the_o corinthian_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o become_v fool_n if_o we_o will_v become_v wise_a in_o god_n school_n true_o this_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o but_o it_o be_v our_o ap●●e_n and_o it_o be_v a_o lesson_n wherein_o we_o must_v continue_v all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n and_o so_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n must_v tell_v man_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o discretion_n nor_o wisdom_n in_o they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v no_o more_o trust_v in_o their_o own_o strength_n &_o reason_n nor_o be_v so_o selfeween_v as_o too_o say_v i_o know_v well-enough_o how_o i_o ought_v to_o live_v no_o but_o let_v they_o esteem_v themselves_o as_o fool_n that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v they_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o but_o vanity_n for_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o drop_n of_o wisdom_n in_o we_o god_n will_v not_o trouble_v we_o at_o all_o but_o let_v we_o alone_o in_o our_o state_n but_o now_o he_o intend_v to_o pull_v down_o our_o pride_n too_o our_o own_o profit_n that_o we_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o become_v little_a and_o lowly_a to_o exalt_v he_o alone_o and_o too_o submit_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o that_o which_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n can_v never_o edify_v the_o people_n except_o they_o begin_v at_o that_o point_n of_o show_v man_n that_o they_o be_v utter_o destitute_a of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o it_o behove_v every_o one_o of_o we_o too_o receive_v the_o same_o admonishment_n in_o ourselves_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v utter_o destitute_a &_o void_a of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v all_o wisdom_n in_o
good_n &_o riches_n that_o be_v they_o as_o it_o be_v puff_v up_o against_o god_n and_o full_a of_o poison_n and_o presumptuousness_n and_o although_o they_o be_v but_o lean_a of_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o ready_a to_o burst_v with_o another_o curse_a fatness_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o against_o god_n yea_o and_o we_o see_v that_o their_o fatness_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n their_o devilish_a malapertness_n make_v their_o eye_n to_o strut_v out_o of_o their_o head_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o threescore_o and_o thirteen_o psalm_n that_o their_o eye_n be_v as_o good_a as_o half_a burst_a by_o reason_n that_o they_o blear_v themselves_o in_o their_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n and_o consider_v not_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bereave_v of_o they_o all_o in_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n mark_v i_o say_v how_o fatness_n blind_v the_o wicked_a and_o how_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o burst_a to_o their_o own_o shame_n and_o destruction_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o a_o other_o sentence_n eliphas_n say_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o prosper_v and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o famesse_n will_v we_o then_o be_v bliss_v of_o god_n and_o be_v maintain_v in_o good_a state_n and_o true_a happiness_n let_v we_o keep_v we_o well_o from_o pamper_v ourselves_o with_o fatness_n that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o keep_v we_o from_o be_v pamper_a with_o pride_n that_o we_o presume_v not_o too_o make_v ourselves_o this_o or_o that_o but_o let_v we_o walk_v in_o all_o mildness_n know_v that_o we_o depend_v upon_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o that_o when_o he_o have_v lift_v we_o up_o he_o can_v also_o soon_o cast_v we_o down_o again_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v move_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o serve_v

because_o they_o advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contraripart_n when_o we_o be_v undo_v and_o strip_v stark_o naked_a then_o will_v god_n show_v we_o the_o favour_n to_o

for_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o darkness_n as_o we_o see_v the_o holy_a prophet_n complain_v that_o god_n have_v withdraw_v his_o light_n from_o they_o so_o as_o

too_o edify_v we_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o faith_n and_o patience_n and_o in_o all_o good_a and_o profitable_a thing_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n where_o job_n make_v mention_n of_o windy_a word_n nevertheless_o we_o must_v also_o take_v heed_n too_o ourselves_o that_o we_o refuse_v all_o talk_n that_o shall_v be_v minister_v unto_o we_o as_o though_o it_o be_v windy_a but_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o taste_v whither_o
his_o people_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n again_o we_o know_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v general_o that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a which_o eat_v the_o labour_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n

a_o mean_n too_o make_v we_o draw_v never_o unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v always_o have_v he_o before_o our_o eye_n and_o attempt_v nothing_o but_o under_o his_o obedience_n so_o then_o follow_v

as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v possible_o let_v we_o seek_v to_o know_v they_o and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o our_o chief_a felicity_n be_v that_o god_n draw_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o unto_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v do_v and_o by_o what_o mean_n it_o be_v do_v when_o he_o on_o his_o part_n come_v down_o to_o we_o deliver_v his_o word_n unto_o we_o ▪_o and_o do_v testify_v unto_o we_o that_o he_o will_v dwell_v amongst_o we_o and_o when_o we_o receive_v this_o word_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o receive_v god_n and_o do_v he_o homage_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v reign_v over_o we_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o god_n be_v present_a with_o we_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o word_n we_o see_v that_o there_o can_v no_o great_a misfortune_n happen_v unto_o we_o than_o when_o god_n suffer_v we_o to_o wander_v in_o our_o own_o fantasy_n without_o his_o guide_n &_o when_o we_o have_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n by_o the_o which_o he_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o contrariwise_o the_o great_a &_o most_o inestimable_a treasure_n that_o we_o have_v be_v that_o god_n gover_o

to_o god_n &_o say_v that_o they_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o thrust_v he_o out_o of_o all_o authority_n that_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o tread_v he_o under_o foot_n oh_o say_v they_o we_o

let_v we_o learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o whensoever_o god_n send_v his_o word_n amongst_o we_o let_v we_o tremble_v at_o it_o &_o thereby_o declare_v that_o we_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v present_a with_o our_o god_n always_o to_o behold_v he_o and_o to_o walk_v as_o they_o that_o know_v very_o well_o that_o we_o must_v make_v a_o account_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n before_o he_o and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v his_o hand_n and_o moreover_o let_v we_o long_o for_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o god_n but_o we_o must_v desire_v to_o be_v always_o in_o his_o sight_n &_o under_o his_o guide_n for_o sometime_o the_o most_o wicked_a will_v have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o galley_n slave_n do_v who_o fall_v to_o row_v when_o they_o see_v themselves_o fast_a chain_v and_o sure_o beat_v then_o they_o must_v needs_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v of_o force_n and_o constraint_n so_o the_o wicked_a when_o god_n speak_v do_v know_v that_o he_o be_v present_a there_o but_o if_o it_o lay_v in_o they_o they_o will_v destroy_v his_o godhead_n which_o be_v against_o they_o they_o will_v also_o thrust_v god_n out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n or_o else_o they_o will_v flee_v from_o he_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n report_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v say_v unto_o the_o mountain_n cover_v we_o you_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a do_v always_o flee_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v terrible_a unto_o they_o now_o on_o our_o behalf_n as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o must_v not_o only_o know_v that_o he_o be_v near_o unto_o we_o but_o we_o must_v desire_v always_o to_o be_v in_o his_o presence_n know_v that_o our_o state_n and_o

ourselves_o where_o be_v our_o assurance_n what_o guide_n be_v we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o pray_v unto_o our_o god_n that_o he_o never_o depart_v from_o we_o whatsoever_o happen_v and_o that_o we_o may_v so_o do_v let_v we_o pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v and_o taste_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n which_o be_v in_o he_o that_o through_o his_o enlighten_v of_o we_o by_o his_o

moreover_o that_o they_o say_v what_o be_v the_o almighty_a that_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o and_o what_o profit_n shall_v we_o get_v by_o pray_v unto_o he_o here_o job_n set_v out_o the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o all_o the_o faithless_a &_o wicked_a man_n and_o it_o be_v a_o place_n worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o the_o holy_a scripture_n show_v that_o the_o principal_a vice_n that_o be_v in_o

that_o thereby_o we_o learn_v to_o be_v displease_v with_o
then_o hold_v your_o be_v of_o i_o and_o if_o you_o do_v i_o homage_n and_o know_v i_o for_o your_o creator_n you_o will_v tremble_v under_o i_o now_o when_o he_o have_v thus_o speak_v he_o say_v

such_o be_v the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o all_o those_o that_o exempt_v themselves_o from_o the_o service_n of_o god_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n when_o we_o serve_v our_o god_n it_o be_v

isaiah_n speak_v of_o it_o say_v you_o sure_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o the_o righteous_a therefore_o when_o we_o see_v a_o confusion_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n and_o it_o seem_v unto_o we_o but_o a_o mockery_n too_o serve_v god_n yet_o must_v we_o still_o continue_v in_o this_o sure_a persuasion_n that_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n will_v disappoynte_v they_o that_o wait_n

it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o faithful_a in_o possess_v thing_n shall_v be_v as_o if_o they_o possess_v they_o not_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v for_o they_o do_v not_o persuade_v

when_o it_o shall_v happen_v as_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o god_n send_v we_o poverty_n let_v we_o think_v thus_o well_o lord_n thou_o haste_v riches_n in_o thy_o hand_n and_o thou_o

which_o be_v that_o he_o destroy_v they_o sudden_o as_o if_o he_o send_v a_o storm_n or_o tempest_n in_o the_o night_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v so_o sot_v in_o foolish_a presumption_n as_o

all_o such_o as_o presume_v upon_o their_o earthly_a prosperity_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o although_o not_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o a_o account_n and_o they_o can_v they_o not_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n wherefore_o let_v we_o walk_v advise_o furthermore_o though_o the_o wicked_a be_v now_o and_o then_o without_o fear_n let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v their_o wickedness_n for_o we_o do_v not_o always_o perceive_v his_o judgement_n

so_o as_o although_o they_o have_v not_o do_v any_o body_n wrong_a yet_o nevertheless_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o molest_v they_o for_o when_o we_o see_v that_o it_o seem_v too_o we_o that_o god_n

at_o the_o behold_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_a with_o we_o than_o too_o stumble_v for_o this_o cause_n eliu_n show_v we_o here_o that_o although_o good_a man_n be_v persecute_v or_o else_o if_o such_o as_o be_v advance_v too_o great_a estate_n be_v overthrow_v so_o as_o god_n seem_v too_o confound_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o be_v too_o sore_o dismay_v in_o our_o mind_n and_o why_o for_o god_n have_v some_o iustereason_n to_o do_v it_o which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o conceive_v at_o the_o first_o brunt_n but_o let_v we_o tarry_v with_o patience_n and_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o god_n will_v make_v such_o affliction_n to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o that_o they_o tend_v too_o a_o good_a end_n and_o why_o for_o then_o say_v he_o do_v god_n show_v they_o their_o sin_n that_o be_v so_o torment_v and_o make_v they_o to_o perceive_v what_o they_o be_v and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o good_a amendment_n now_o then_o here_o we_o see_v first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o deem_v thing_n by_o outward_a appearance_n but_o gauge_v deep_a and_o seek_v the_o cause_n that_o move_v god_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o think_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o seem_v clean_o contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n that_o a_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v so_o persecute_v and_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v overrun_v he_o howbeit_o god_n know_v why_o he_o do_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n &_o not_o be_v to_o hasty_a to_o shoot_v forth_o our_o verdict_n at_o the_o first_o dash_n as_o they_o do_v which_o judge_n at_o all_o aventure_n now_o than_o what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o affliction_n it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o to_o perceive_v our_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a point_n whereof_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o hear_v it_o oftentimes_o speak_v of_o nevertheless_o we_o can_v hear_v of_o it_o to_o much_o for_o we_o know_v that_o affliction_n be_v so_o irksome_a to_o we_o that_o every_o of_o we_o fall_v to_o chafe_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o feel_v any_o stripe_n of_o the_o rod_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o we_o can_v comfort_v ourselves_o nor_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o patience_n and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o this_o doctrine_n that_o when_o god_n suffer_v we_o too_o be_v vex_v even_o wrongful_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n even_o than_o do_v he_o work_v our_o welfare_n in_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n too_o make_v we_o feel_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o show_v we_o what_o we_o be_v for_o in_o time_n of_o prosperity_n we_o be_v blind_a and_o sure_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v aright_o what_o be_v contain_v here_o unless_o god_n bring_v we_o too_o it_o by_o his_o chastyzement_n be_v we_o at_o our_o ease_n and_o in_o pleasure_n every_o of_o we_o fall_v asleep_a and_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o sin_n in_o somuch_o that_o our_o prosperity_n be_v as_o a_o drunkenness_n to_o cast_v our_o soul_n into_o a_o dead_a sleep_n and_o which_o worse_a be_v when_o god_n let_v we_o alone_o in_o peace_n although_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o a_o thousand_o way_n yet_o we_o cease_v not_o too_o soothe_v ourselves_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n &_o that_o he_o love_v we_o because_o he_o scourge_v we_o not_o you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n can_v perceive_v their_o own_o sin_n if_o they_o be_v not_o drive_v by_o force_n to_o know_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o prosperity_n make_v we_o drunken_a after_o that_o sort_n and_o that_o when_o we_o be_v at_o rest_n every_o man_n flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o sin_n it_o stand_v we_o upon_o too_o suffer_v god_n patient_o too_o scourge_v we_o for_o affliction_n be_v the_o true_a schoolmistress_n to_o bring_v man_n to_o repentance_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v condemn_v themselves_o before_o god_n and_o be_v so_o condemn_v learn_v to_o hate_v their_o sin_n wherein_o they_o welter_v asore_z therefore_o when_o we_o know_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n send_v we_o we_o will_v bear_v they_o with_o a_o meelder_n and_o quiet_a mind_n than_o we_o do_v but_o it_o be_v a_o piteous_a case_n too_o see_v how_o reckless_a we_o be_v because_o we_o know_v not_o that_o god_n procure_v our_o welfare_n by_o afflict_v we_o after_o that_o manner_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o we_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o visible_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n will_v give_v man_n the_o bridle_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v persecute_v we_o yea_o even_o unjust_o when_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v do_v they_o any_o wrong_n but_o yet_o even_o in_o that_o case_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o learn_v that_o god_n call_v we_o unto_o his_o school_n for_o his_o forbear_n too_o smite_v we_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o put_v of_o we_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v to_o tame_v we_o and_o meeken_fw-ge we_o the_o better_a and_o then_o do_v he_o put_v we_o too_o the_o more_o shame_n then_o if_o the_o wicked_a have_v their_o full_a scope_n so_o as_o it_o lie_v in_o their_o hand_n too_o torment_v we_o and_o they_o do_v the_o worst_a that_o they_o can_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v beat_v of_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o that_o he_o intend_v too_o shame_n we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o must_v we_o be_v provoke_v too_o think_v upon_o our_o sin_n and_o too_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o therewithal_o too_o mark_v how_o eliu_n
