not_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o our_o day_n of_o death_n but_o out_o of_o some_o respect_n also_o even_o unto_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n with_o the_o wife_n virgin_n to_o begin_v betimes_o to_o prepare_v oil_n ready_a for_o our_o lamp_n serious_o oft_o time_n to_o catechise_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o the_o like_a question_n of_o the_o psalmist_n wherewithal_o shall_v a_o young_a man_n cleanse_v his_o way_n and_o make_v answer_v with_o my_o text_n remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n in_o the_o handle_n of_o which_o word_n three_o thing_n i_o shall_v brief_o commend_v unto_o you_o first_o i_o will_v propose_v some_o reason_n and_o motive_n to_o persuade_v the_o young_a man_n to_o be_v thus_o mindful_a of_o his_o creator_n second_o i_o will_v remove_v those_o excuse_n which_o all_o youth_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v ready_a to_o pretend_v for_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n last_o i_o will_v close_v up_o all_o with_o some_o short_a and_o useful_a remembrance_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o imprint_v and_o fasten_v this_o so_o necessary_a duty_n into_o the_o meditation_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o the_o handle_n whereof_o though_o i_o have_v here_o a_o young_a man_n only_o to_o remember_v yet_o you_o shall_v see_v no_o age_n shall_v be_v forget_v to_o begin_v then_o with_o the_o first_o remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n and_o even_o for_o this_o cause_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n because_o thou_o know_v not_o whither_o ever_o thou_o shall_v live_v till_o thou_o be_v old_a for_o the_o life_n of_o man_n it_o be_v as_o a_o shadow_n and_o our_o day_n be_v now_o but_o a_o span_n long_o nay_o even_o this_o short_a measure_n as_o by_o sad_a experience_n we_o have_v too_o frequent_a trial_n we_o see_v so_o much_o contract_v as_o that_o we_o enjoy_v ofttimes_o but_o some_o few_o inch_n even_o of_o this_o span_n neither_o few_o and_o evil_a be_v the_o day_n of_o our_o pilgrimage_n here_o on_o earth_n have_v we_o now_o more_o reason_n to_o complain_v then_o jacob_n have_v now_o because_o our_o day_n be_v evil_a we_o have_v need_v to_o remember_v our_o creator_n to_o amend_v they_o because_o few_o we_o be_v best_o do_v it_o quick_o lest_o we_o forget_v he_o he_o may_v prove_v too_o mindful_a of_o we_o and_o in_o his_o justice_n cut_v off_o those_o few_o day_n of_o we_o wherein_o we_o have_v be_v so_o evil_a as_o not_o to_o fly_v unto_o his_o mercy_n and_o hence_o be_v it_o i_o shall_v think_v that_o st._n john_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n do_v so_o often_o style_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n by_o the_o name_n of_o little_a child_n my_o little_a child_n these_o thing_n i_o write_v unto_o you_o little_a child_n keep_v yourselves_o from_o idol_n little_a child_n it_o be_v the_o last_o time_n not_o only_o to_o express_v his_o fatherly_a and_o tender_a affection_n over_o they_o with_o who_o like_o paul_n he_o do_v even_o go_v in_o travail_n till_o christ_n shall_v be_v form_v in_o they_o not_o only_o to_o teach_v they_o gentleness_n and_o humility_n and_o that_o he_o that_o will_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n must_v first_o stoop_v to_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o psalmist_n lord_z i_o be_o not_o high_a mind_v but_o even_o as_o a_o child_n wean_v from_o his_o mother_n breast_n so_o do_v i_o behave_v myself_o but_o even_o in_o this_o respect_n also_o to_o let_v we_o understand_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o shortness_n and_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n that_o even_o from_o our_o childhood_n we_o be_v to_o be_v train_v up_o with_o the_o child_n samvel_n to_o minister_v unto_o the_o lord_n gird_v with_o a_o linen_n ephod_n while_o our_o garment_n be_v yet_o white_a and_o spotless_a that_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n too_o may_v as_o it_o be_v hand_n in_o hand_n grow_v up_o from_o strength_n to_o strength_n till_o of_o child_n we_o become_v perfect_a man_n and_o atteyne_v unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o be_v all_o by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n all_o liable_a to_o those_o everlasting_a chain_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o as_o long_o as_o this_o state_n continue_v we_o may_v complain_v with_o rebecca_n i_o be_o weary_a of_o my_o life_n and_o we_o may_v sit_v down_o with_o job_n and_o curse_v the_o day_n that_o we_o be_v bear_v in_o and_o can_v we_o then_o think_v any_o time_n too_o soon_o to_o begin_v to_o make_v a_o agreement_n with_o our_o

off_o that_o as_o with_o paul_n and_o silas_n in_o the_o prison_n our_o fetter_n may_v fall_v away_o and_o of_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n we_o may_v be_v redeem_v into_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god._n for_o be_v it_o not_o madness_n in_o pharaoh_n when_o as_o the_o frog_n be_v now_o swarm_v in_o the_o land_n in_o his_o court_n in_o his_o bedchamber_n in_o his_o bosom_n

the_o lord_n to_o destroy_v these_o sin_n shall_v we_o not_o be_v more_o mad_a than_o pharaoh_n do_v we_o reply_v to_o morrow_n no_o to_o day_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o
