earth_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o forest_n come_v out_o of_o their_o den_n and_o the_o young_a lion_n rear_v after_o their_o prey_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o sun_n arise_v they_o hide_v themselves_o in_o their_o den_n and_o dare_v not_o come_v forth_o but_o man_n then_o go_v forth_o unto_o his_o work_n and_o to_o his_o labour_n until_o the_o evening_n indeed_o when_o the_o dark_a mist_n of_o ignorance_n overspread_v the_o earth_n satan_n and_o his_o minister_n triumph_v secure_o like_o unruly_a beast_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o sun_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v begin_v to_o shine_v they_o fly_v away_o that_o hate_v the_o truth_n then_o do_v the_o godly_a go_v forth_o unto_o their_o labour_n until_o the_o evening_n that_o be_v they_o labour_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o good_a work_n until_o by_o a_o happy_a death_n they_o arrive_v to_o the_o evening_n of_o their_o life_n to_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o true_a and_o save_a knowledge_n of_o god_n we_o have_v need_n of_o another_o master_n and_o more_o bright_a instruction_n than_o those_o which_o be_v learn_v out_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n or_o borrow_v from_o humane_a reason_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o those_o wise_a man_n to_o have_v seek_v the_o cradle_n of_o the_o redeemer_n to_o have_v have_v the_o conduct_n of_o a_o star_n but_o they_o must_v further_o be_v instruct_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n do_v we_o exact_o understand_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o star_n their_o motion_n their_o virtue_n and_o their_o distance_n we_o shall_v never_o come_v by_o these_o direction_n unto_o god_n unless_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n shall_v withal_o inform_v we_o in_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o the_o psalmist_n in_o the_o 19_o psalm_n after_o he_o have_v say_v that_o the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n attribute_v so_o great_a a_o eloquence_n to_o the_o

truth_n and_o detain_v it_o in_o unrighteousness_n and_o because_o that_o when_o they_o know_v god_n they_o do_v not_o glorify_v he_o as_o god_n neither_o sin_v they_o only_o by_o their_o ignorance_n but_o also_o by_o their_o perverseness_n and_o their_o pride_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o coloss_n who_o say_v that_o he_o who_o fall_v off_o from_o the_o service_n of_o god_n to_o the_o worship_v of_o angel_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v intrude_v into_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o see_v vain_o put_v up_o by_o his_o fleshly_a mind_n and_o in_o the_o 1._o of_o the_o rom._n he_o say_v when_o they_o profess_v themselves_o wise_a they_o become_v fool_n and_o be_v therefore_o deliver_v over_o to_o vile_a affection_n by_o this_o i_o think_v it_o be_v evident_o show_v wherefore_o beside_o the_o instruction_n which_o we_o learn_v out_o of_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n we_o have_v need_n of_o another_o doctrine_n to_o wit_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o wherefore_o god_n who_o can_v without_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n convert_v our_o heart_n and_o immediate_o infuse_v into_o they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o have_v rather_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o and_o by_o this_o knowledge_n to_o salvation_n by_o his_o word_n it_o be_v not_o curious_o to_o be_v seek_v into_o for_o god_n who_o reserve_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o counsel_n to_o himself_o and_o be_v not_o subject_a unto_o any_o be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n neither_o be_v it_o for_o man_n to_o argue_v with_o god_n nevertheless_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o divine_a counsel_n be_v evident_a and_o it_o be_v easy_a enough_o to_o assign_v the_o cause_n for_o be_v cause_n death_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n by_o the_o ear_n it_o please_v god_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n shall_v enter_v in_o by_o the_o same_o way_n too_o and_o because_o that_o man_n fall_v by_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o the_o devil_n it_o be_v fit_v that_o man_n shall_v be_v raise_v from_o his_o fall_n by_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o contrary_a evil_n shall_v be_v cure_v by_o contrary_a remedy_n wherefore_o god_n send_v we_o by_o esay_n the_o prophet_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o prophet_n pronounce_v that_o it_o can_v be_v that_o without_o these_o the_o

from_o thence_o when_o we_o have_v at_o hand_n the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o christ_n restore_v sight_n unto_o the_o blind_a by_o anoint_v his_o
