against_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n 1._o against_o the_o incestuous_a man_n by_o their_o security_n to_o lull_v he_o asleep_o in_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v lay_v he_o asleep_o in_o his_o sin_n by_o

of_o the_o same_o or_o the_o like_a sin_n in_o the_o long_o run_v and_o therefore_o say_v paul_n know_v you_o not_o that_o a_o little_a leaven_n leaven_v the_o whole_a lump_n 6._o 1_o cor._n 5._o 6._o paul_n be_v not_o ignorant_a here_o of_o satan_n device_n he_o know_v that_o as_o one_o weed_n suffer_v to_o grow_v do_v shed_v its_o seed_n and_o beget_v many_o as_o a_o stone_n cast_v into_o the_o

the_o toleration_n of_o that_o scandalous_a sin_n will_v speak_v for_o the_o toleration_n of_o another_o if_o they_o will_v digest_v incest_n they_o will_v much_o more_o in_o time_n tolerate_v and_o concoct_v adultery_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o well_o but_o when_o paul_n have_v wrought_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n to_o deliver_v the_o offender_n unto_o satan_n observe_v how_o satan_n do_v spin_v a_o new_a thread_n of_o device_n against_o they_o of_o which_o paul_n speak_v in_o this_o place_n well_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v that_o satan_n be_v a_o learned_a and_o exquisite_a artist_n in_o the_o trade_n of_o deceive_a soul_n he_o be_v full_a of_o method_n and_o device_n as_o he_o have_v a_o heart_n so_o he_o have_v a_o art_n to_o deceive_v 1._o i_o shall_v discourse_v how_o busy_a and_o skilful_a satan_n be_v to_o undermine_v we_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v arm_v you_o against_o his_o device_n and_o if_o you_o have_v skill_n in_o both_o these_o you_o may_v walk_v the_o safe_a to_o heaven_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n show_v you_o how_o busy_a and_o skilful_a satan_n be_v to_o undermine_v you_o and_o that_o 1._o because_o he_o be_v a_o very_a intelligent_a creature_n he_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o therefore_o have_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o the_o holy_a angel_n be_v wise_a

their_o understanding_n i_o say_v satan_n have_v lose_v the_o goodness_n of_o his_o understanding_n but_o not_o the_o essence_n of_o it_o he_o can_v make_v pitfold_n and_o lay_v snare_n to_o catch_v poor_a soul_n satan_n be_v a_o very_a intelligent_a creature_n first_o he_o be_v a_o great_a scholar_n and_o then_o second_o he_o be_v a_o deep_a head-piece_n 1._o he_o be_v a_o great_a scholar_n exceed_v well_o read_v first_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o second_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n first_o he_o be_v well_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n he_o know_v all_o natural_a thing_n with_o the_o cause_n and_o secret_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o can_v work_v marvellous_a and_o wonder_n though_o not_o miracle_n and_o second_o he_o be_v exceed_v well_o read_v too_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o study_v scripture_n not_o to_o convert_v but_o to_o pervert_v poor_a soul_n yet_o i_o say_v he_o study_v hard_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v the_o scripture_n at_o his_o finger_n end_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o his_o dispute_n with_o christ_n if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o 6._o matth._n 4._o 6._o god_n cast_v thyself_o down_o for_o it_o be_v write_v he_o shall_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v concern_v thou_o and_o in_o their_o hand_n they_o shall_v bear_v thou_o up_o lest_o at_o any_o time_n thou_o dash_v thy_o foot_n against_o a_o stone_n second_o he_o be_v a_o deep_a head-piece_n he_o have_v a_o strong_a brain_n he_o be_v not_o as_o we_o say_v a_o mere_a scholar_n a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o great_a scholar_n and_o yet_o but_o a_o fool_n in_o other_o thing_n but_o satan_n be_v not_o so_o he_o be_v a_o very_a elaborate_a politician_n eagle-eyed_a to_o carry_v about_o his_o

feel_v your_o pulse_n and_o as_o the_o physician_n can_v find_v
will_v make_v himself_o know_v to_o none_o but_o who_o he_o make_v his_o second_o self_n ah_o then_o how_o be_v we_o engage_v to_o god_n that_o thou_o will_v let_v we_o know_v thy_o face_n and_o know_v thy_o mind_n and_o know_v thy_o heart_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o make_v we_o thy_o second_o self_n 3._o god_n do_v not_o only_o let_v we_o know_v he_o but_o he_o know_v we_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o galatian_n but_o now_o after_o that_o you_o 9_o gal._n 4._o 9_o have_v know_v god_n or_o rather_o be_v know_v of_o god_n we_o know_v not_o god_n so_o much_o as_o he_o know_v we_o we_o be_v rather_o know_v of_o he_o than_o know_v he_o it_o be_v more_o that_o he_o know_v we_o than_o that_o we_o know_v he_o as_o when_o a_o poor_a man_n live_v by_o a_o great_a man_n and_o know_v he_o it_o do_v not_o do_v he_o so_o much_o good_a that_o he_o know_v the_o great_a man_n as_o that_o the_o great_a man_n know_v he_o and_o communicate_v some_o of_o his_o greatness_n to_o he_o the_o great_a man_n knowledge_n of_o he_o make_v he_o a_o great_a man_n though_o he_o know_v the_o great_a man_n yet_o if_o the_o great_a man_n know_v not_o he_o and_o take_v not_o notice_n of_o he_o he_o be_v never_o the_o better_o so_o we_o may_v by_o nature_n know_v god_n and_o by_o the_o scripture_n know_v the_o attribute_n of_o god_n yet_o this_o do_v we_o no_o good_a unless_o the_o lord_n know_v we_o and_o communicate_v his_o riches_n and_o greatness_n to_o we_o it_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o the_o subject_a that_o his_o prince_n will_v know_v he_o all_o the_o honour_n of_o one_o that_o be_v in_o low_a degree_n spring_v from_o the_o knowledge_n his_o superior_a take_v of_o he_o zacheus_n run_v and_o go_v up_o in_o 3._o luk._n 19_o 3._o to_o the_o sycamore-tree_n that_o he_o

the_o next_o use_n be_v a_o use_n of_o trial_n try_v your_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o heaven_n every_o one_o be_v prone_a to_o approve_v and_o think_v well_o of_o his_o own_o knowledge_n especial_o those_o that_o have_v high_a part_n of_o understanding_n than_o other_o that_o can_v discourse_v of_o divine_a thing_n that_o have_v a_o speculative_a apprehension_n and_o quick_a fancy_n and_o therefore_o try_v your_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o heaven_n by_o way_n of_o preface_n into_o this_o use_n of_o trial_n let_v i_o show_v you_o three_o thing_n there_o be_v three_o

have_v no_o other_o glass_n to_o see_v god_n in_o no_o other_o book_n in_o which_o they_o can_v read_v the_o divine_a excellency_n the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v the_o only_a scripture_n they_o have_v wherein_o god_n be_v discover_v to_o they_o and_o in_o it_o they_o may_v have_v see_v and_o read_v much_o of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n argue_v for_o the_o invisible_a 20._o rom._n 1._o 20._o thing_n of_o he_o from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v clear_o see_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n so_o that_o they_o be_v without_o excuse_n 2._o by_o the_o report_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o read_n of_o scripture_n and_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o jew_n this_o be_v their_o privilege_n or_o

unto_o israel_n he_o have_v not_o deal_v so_o with_o any_o nation_n and_o as_o for_o his_o judgement_n they_o have_v not_o know_v they_o 3._o by_o christ_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o christian_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n which_o they_o get_v who_o know_v he_o by_o the_o creature_n be_v like_o that_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v of_o a_o man_n only_o by_o see_v some_o of_o his_o workmanship_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n which_o they_o get_v who_o know_v he_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o mean_v a_o literal_a knowledge_n be_v like_a to_o that_o knowledge_n

of_o the_o scripture_n wherein_o we_o may_v read_v the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o be_v a_o step_n or_o stair_n beyond_o the_o other_o for_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n we_o can_v read_v

thus_o how_o many_o do_v satan_n provoke_v to_o turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n when_o he_o come_v to_o they_o in_o their_o hunger_n thou_o be_v in_o a_o strait_a like_a to_o starve_v and_o perish_v
