wicked_a man_n man_n be_v reckon_v boaster_n those_o that_o because_o there_o be_v no_o true_a matter_n of_o praise_n to_o be_v see_v in_o they_o will_v get_v praise_n by_o speak_v great_a thing_n

of_o himself_o and_o all_o in_o excuse_v one_o fault_n more_o than_o one_o shall_v the_o thing_n wherein_o saul_n sin_v in_o the_o same_o matter_n for_o when_o his_o lie_n will_v not_o go_v for_o

&_o low_v make_v these_o two_o agree_v that_o all_o be_v dead_a and_o yet_o i_o hear_v some_o bleat_n when_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n now_o he_o have_v not_o do_v his_o duty_n than_o he_o shift_v it_o thus_o indeed_o a_o few_o of_o the_o best_a of_o they_o we_o have_v keep_v for_o sacrifice_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o be_v no_o harm_n but_o when_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n neither_o but_o samuel_n follow_v he_o close_o o_o say_v he_o have_v god_n as_o much_o delight_n in_o sacrifice_n as_o when_o his_o word_n be_v obey_v then_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o other_o excuse_n and_o cast_v it_o on_o the_o people_n i_o fear_v the_o people_n say_v he_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o none_o of_o i_o thus_o if_o any_o credit_n have_v be_v to_o be_v

excuse_v be_v a_o common_a thing_n among_o all_o man_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o most_o simple_a person_n the_o most_o ignorant_a and_o silly_a body_n in_o a_o whole_a town_n that_o have_v the_o most_o shallow_a capacity_n &_o dull_a wit_n that_o can_v be_v but_o he_o be_v very_o sharp_a and_o witty_a to_o find_v a_o excuse_n he_o can_v scamble_v and_o wind_n and_o will_v make_v hard_a shift_n to_o wring_v his_o neck_n out_o of_o the_o collar_n that_o hardly_o can_v any_o reproof_n be_v fasten_v upon_o he_o and_o man_n think_v by_o so_o do_v to_o lessen_v their_o fault_n but_o in_o

before_o man_n he_o be_v ill_o before_o but_o now_o he_o be_v far_o worse_o it_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a thing_n when_o one_o have_v wound_v himself_o by_o sin_n to_o go_v to_o the_o devil_n for_o a_o

now_o this_o deprese_n one_o self_n false_o be_v not_o humility_n but_o iniquity_n for_o one_o shall_v make_v himself_o neither_o better_o nor_o worse_o they_o god_n have_v make_v he_o but_o if_o he_o have_v good_a call_n to_o speak_v of_o himself_o plain_o as_o the_o matter_n be_v in_o truth_n and_o now_o if_o when_o they_o lie_v of_o themselves_o &_o say_v they_o have_v no_o wit_n no_o learning_n no_o good_a part_n etc._n etc._n &_o one_o say_v why_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v true_a you_o say_v well_o it_o be_v right_v you_o have_v none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n indeed_o they_o will_v think_v

much_o the_o more_o lift_v up_o yourself_o by_o reason_n out_o of_o god_n word_n and_o by_o former_a experience_n in_o yourself_o &_o other_o christian_n for_o that_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n because_o you_o have_v no_o feel_n therefore_o you_o have_v no_o faith_n and_o because_o you_o have_v lose_v the_o sense_n of_o your_o comfort_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o true_a comfort_n this_o be_v

if_o he_o feel_v not_o faith_n but_o he_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n that_o he_o have_v true_a faith_n but_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o persecute_v yourself_o fight_v against_o he_o not_o with_o he_o against_o yourself_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o be_v strong_a enough_o alone_o you_o have_v not_o need_n join_v

commandment_n by_o speak_v

before_o their_o child_n shall_v make_v even_o with_o they_o and_o revenge_n and_o quit_v there_o parent_n wrong_n to_o the_o full_a by_o the_o like_a favage_a deal_n with_o they_o a_o second_o duty_n of_o thankfulness_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o their_o parent_n as_o in_o tim._n 2._o he_o command_v that_o prayer_n be_v make_v for_o all_o in_o authority_n and_o if_o any_o must_v pray_v for_o those_o that_o be_v further_o of_o in_o common_a weal_n much_o more_o for_o those_o that_o be_v near_o in_o the_o family_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n to_o be_v great_o condemn_v in_o many_o that_o can_v see_v their_o parent_n fault_n and_o speak_v of_o they_o too_o much_o but_o can_v find_v time_n to_o fall_v down_o before_o god_n and_o beseech_v he_o to_o heal_v their_o nature_n and_o help_v they_o out_o of_o their_o sin_n many_o have_v live_v a_o long_a time_n with_o their_o parent_n yet_o can_v say_v that_o they_o send_v up_o a_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o heaven_n for_o their_o parent_n so_o unnatural_a and_o unthankful_a be_v they_o the_o use_n of_o all_o these_o duty_n to_o those_o who_o parent_n be_v not_o alive_a be_v to_o look_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v not_o alive_a after_o their_o parent_n death_n and_o therefore_o to_o examine_v themselves_o whether_o they_o have_v be_v faulty_a in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o if_o they_o do_v repent_v for_o it_o and_o desire_v pardon_n else_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o two_o plague_n first_o that_o their_o child_n shall_v take_v their_o parent_n quarrel_v in_o hand_n and_o requite_v their_o wicked_a deal_n in_o what_o ever_o duty_n they_o have_v fail_v and_o have_v not_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o second_o that_o as_o honour_v parent_n bring_v a_o long_a and_o happy_a life_n so_o their_o dishonour_v their_o parent_n shall_v make_v they_o have_v a_o short_a life_n and_o miserable_a or_o if_o a_o long_a life_n yet_o full_a of_o god_n curse_n for_o their_o unrepented_a son_n therefore_o let_v such_o as_o be_v now_o fatherless_a mark_v themselves_o and_o find_v that_o their_o child_n be_v stubborn_a against_o they_o and_o unthankful_a and_o rebellion_n every_o way_n as_o many_o may_v see_v it_o open_o and_o woeful_o let_v call_v themselves_o back_o and_o see_v what_o kind_n of_o child_n they_o be_v before_o how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o to_o their_o parent_n whether_o they_o be_v not_o all_o together_o faulty_a in_o this_o point_n if_o it_o be_v so_o let_v they_o confesle_v that_o their_o own_o sin_n have_v find_v they_o out_o and_o be_v turn_v open_a let_v they_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o have_v give_v the_o same_o measure_n into_o their_o bosom_n their_o own_o evil_n be_v fall_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n they_o dig_v a_o pit_n in_o their_o youth_n and_o now_o in_o their_o age_n be_v fall_v into_o it_o and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o child_n now_o follow_v the_o duty_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n for_o under_o the_o duty_n of_o inferior_a be_v comprehend_v also_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o superior_a and_o as_o god_n will_v have_v inferior_n to_o give_v honour_n so_o he_o command_v superior_n to_o carry_v themselves_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o they_o may_v deserve_v honour_n and_o do_v bind_v they_o as_o straight_o as_o the_o inferior_n now_o the_o duty_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n be_v either_o in_o their_o tender_a year_n ripe_a age_n the_o parent_n duty_n to_o the_o child_n in_o their_o tender_a year_n and_o childhood_n be_v first_o to_o instruct_v they_o in_o religion_n to_o season_v they_o with_o the_o word_n of_o

they_o can_v understand_v it_o nor_o conceive_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o thing_n the_o holy_a ghost_n answer_v be_v it_o that_o for_o the_o time_n he_o can_v understand_v the_o sense_n yet_o teach_v he_o the_o word_n and_o term_n of_o goodness_n and_o though_o while_o he_o continue_v a_o child_n perhaps_o it_o seem_v a_o fruitless_a thing_n yet_o you_o shall_v see_v afterward_o it_o will_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o crop_n of_o this_o seed_n that_o be_v soon_o in_o the_o childhood_n will_v appear_v when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n though_o for_o a_o time_n it_o lay_v hide_v

let_v he_o have_v the_o word_n teach_v he_o when_o he_o be_v able_a to_o hear_v and_o speak_v word_n and_o after_o when_o he_o be_v of_o more_o discretion_n he_o will_v conceive_v &_o remember_v the_o
