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 and_o be_v nourish_v therewith_o therefore_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o have_v our_o good_n to_o do_v we_o good_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o have_v they_o in_o such_o case_n as_o we_o may_v say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o they_o for_o god_n meddle_v not_o with_o craft_n and_o extortion_n i_o confess_v in_o deed_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o enrich_v without_o his_o will_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o too_o be_v say_v that_o he_o allow_v of_o their_o do_n neither_o be_v it_o mean_v that_o the_o wicked_a acknowledge_v god_n to_o say_v i_o thank_v god_n i_o think_v myself_o behold_v to_o he_o for_o that_o which_o he_o have_v give_v i_o no_o for_o they_o hold_v they_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o of_o god_n blessing_n therefore_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n learn_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o to_o make_v account_n of_o this_o promise_n that_o we_o be_v happy_a when_o we_o eat_v the_o labour_n of_o our_o hand_n that_o be_v too_o say_v when_o we_o eat_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o such_o as_o we_o have_v get_v by_o good_a &_o lawful_a mean_n allow_v of_o god_n furthermore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n too_o build_v in_o this_o world_n for_o all_o thing_n here_o be_v fleet_a and_o transitory_a let_v we_o not_o be_v like_o these_o fool_n that_o make_v their_o nest_n in_o this_o world_n as_o who_o will_v say_v they_o look_v never_o to_o go_v out_o of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v tie_v to_o it_o for_o which_o be_v our_o chief_a house_n it_o be_v our_o body_n though_o a_o man_n have_v great_a palace_n and_o as_o sumptuous_a house_n as_o any_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o can_v continue_v in_o they_o for_o ever_o he_o can_v keep_v himself_o in_o prison_n there_o so_o then_o the_o peculiar_a lodging_n that_o every_o man_n have_v be_v his_o own_o body_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v what_o brittleness_n be_v in_o it_o what_o firmness_n have_v it_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o hie_v we_o to_o the_o heavenly_a building_n that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o desire_v to_o be_v so_o repair_v as_o god_n spirit_n may_v dwell_v in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v make_v his_o temple_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v now_o corruptible_a and_o transitory_a in_o we_o may_v be_v renew_v so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v set_v in_o the_o same_o state_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v not_o in_o this_o world_n seek_v to_o draw_v other_o man_n good_n to_o we_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o live_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n give_v we_o and_o therewithal_o pray_v god_n so_o to_o build_v we_o as_o we_o may_v be_v his_o temple_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o not_o suffer_v satan_n to_o carry_v we_o away_o or_o to_o enter_v into_o we_o too_o nourish_v our_o vice_n and_o sin_n in_o we_o for_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o will_v make_v our_o body_n foul_a stink_a stable_n but_o we_o know_v that_o god_n can_v dwell_v in_o any_o filthy_a place_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v he_o to_o settle_v in_o we_o we_o must_v first_o pray_v he_o too_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o uncleanness_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v build_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n to_o be_v true_a temple_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n lo_o how_o we_o may_v be_v well_o build_v but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o proceed_v of_o his_o mere_a grace_n according_a as_o the_o scripture_n avouch_v it_o to_o be_v his_o charge_n to_o build_v up_o zion_n then_o like_a as_o general_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n build_v all_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o his_o church_n so_o also_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o build_v each_o one_o of_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v am_z at_o we_o must_v not_o be_v wed_v to_o the_o flightful_a &_o corruptible_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n but_o we_o must_v hie_v we_o to_o the_o everlasting_a thing_n and_o labour_n for_o they_o more_o &_o more_o till_o we_o become_v full_o to_o they_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o so_o to_o feel_v they_o as_o we_o may_v learn_v too_o mislike_v they_o more_o and_o more_o and_o too_o take_v such_o hearty_a remorse_n that_o we_o overcome_v all_o temptation_n and_o hie_v we_o always_o to_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n where_o our_o true_a heritage_n be_v and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v so_o give_v unto_o it_o as_o we_o may_v seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o please_v our_o god_n and_o to_o frame_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o will_n so_o as_o we_o may_v show_v by_o our_o deed_n that_o his_o call_n of_o we_o unto_o he_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a but_o that_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o glorify_v he_o in_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n acknowledge_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o give_v we_o of_o his_o mere_a grace_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v yield_v he_o praise_v and_o do_v he_o his_o due_a honour_n that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o too_o grant_v this_o grace_n not_o only_o too_o we_o but_o also_o too_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n etc_n etc_n the_o lxxuj_o sermon_n which_o be_v the_o

also_o be_v the_o better_o persuade_v of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n have_v abundance_n of_o good_n we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o he_o want_v nothing_o and_o that_o he_o have_v

mark_v i_o pray_v you_o how_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o wretchedness_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o they_o who_o god_n curse_v but_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n but_o god_n judgement_n be_v inclose_v in_o their_o bone_n and_o in_o their_o maree_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o hear_v this_o sentence_n often_o that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o sure_a of_o it_o and_o have_v the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o a_o rich_a man_n we_o think_v that_o heaven_n &_o earth_n shall_v mingle_v themselves_o together_o to_o confound_v he_o and_o therefore_o god_n declare_v that_o although_o man_n have_v never_o so_o great_a wealth_n yet_o shall_v the_o same_o perish_v every_o whit_n and_o vanish_v away_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o for_o his_o heir_n or_o successor_n to_o hope_v for_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o these_o two_o point_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o set_v more_o store_n by_o god_n blessing_n than_o by_o all_o the_o wealth_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o be_v tempt_v too_o covet_v curse_a riches_n which_o can_v come_v to_o a_o good_a end_n because_o god_n will_v
one_o of_o we_o to_o prick_v forward_o himself_o according_a to_o the_o knowledge_n which_o he_o have_v when_o a_o man_n be_v better_a teach_v than_o other_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_a and_o fervent_a in_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o also_o to_o have_v a_o great_a care_n of_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v what_o our_o ability_n and_o measure_n be_v and_o afterward_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o offering_n of_o ourselves_o unto_o god_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v endue_v we_o withal_o for_o according_a as_o every_o of_o we_o have_v receive_v so_o shall_v he_o be_v the_o more_o blameworthy_a if_o he_o glorify_v not_o god_n so_o then_o whensoever_o god_n give_v more_o abundance_n of_o his_o spirit_n unto_o we_o than_o to_o other_o man_n we_o must_v look_v well_o to_o it_o that_o we_o make_v our_o neighbour_n part_n taker_n with_o we_o that_o such_o as_o have_v wisdom_n give_v counsel_n unto_o other_o &_o that_o such_o as_o have_v abundance_n succour_v such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o it_o lo_o here_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o unto_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o job_n namely_o that_o he_o offer_v sacrifice_n according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n as_o for_o the_o residue_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n offer_v sacrifice_v for_o his_o child_n it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o such_o as_o have_v charge_n of_o other_o must_v be_v watchful_a and_o that_o when_o any_o fault_n happen_v they_o must_v hold_v themselves_o blameworthy_a before_o god_n for_o the_o same_o and_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o we_o see_v how_o ambition_n reign_v in_o the_o world_n if_o a_o man_n have_v many_o child_n he_o be_v glad_a that_o he_o have_v so_o many_o reasonable_a creature_n to_o be_v under_o he_o at_o his_o commandment_n if_o he_o have_v wherewith_o to_o find_v a_o great_a household_n he_o like_v well_o of_o himself_o for_o it_o but_o what_o all_o be_v but_o mere_a ambition_n or_o vainglory_n for_o there_o be_v no_o regard_n have_v of_o the_o charge_n that_o be_v match_v with_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v man_n great_a honour_n when_o he_o give_v those_o who_o he_o have_v create_v after_o his_o own_o image_n unto_o they_o to_o be_v their_o underling_n but_o yet_o therewithal_o this_o honour_n carry_v a_o great_a bond_n with_o it_o namely_o that_o such_o as_o have_v household_n to_o govern_v must_v always_o be_v watchful_a for_o if_o a_o offence_n be_v commit_v against_o god_n in_o any_o household_n he_o that_o be_v the_o head_n &_o master_n of_o the_o house_n must_v think_v himself_o blameworthy_a he_o must_v mourn_v before_o god_n as_o if_o himself_o be_v the_o party_n that_o have_v do_v the_o deed_n and_o although_o he_o be_v not_o consent_v unto_o it_o yet_o must_v he_o think_v thus_o with_o himself_o i_o have_v not_o discharge_v myself_o of_o my_o duty_n albeit_o that_o i_o watch_v both_o night_n and_o day_n although_o i_o exhort_v as_o well_o my_o child_n as_o also_o my_o man_n servant_n and_o my_o maid_n servant_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v it_o impossible_a for_o i_o to_o do_v all_o that_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o i_o see_v my_o child_n offend_v i_o see_v fault_n in_o my_o man_n servant_n and_o maid_n servant_n of_o who_o take_v they_o it_o although_o i_o take_v pain_n to_o instruct_v they_o yet_o be_v there_o many_o thing_n to_o be_v find_v fault_n with_o for_o i_o have_v not_o give_v they_o such_o example_n as_o i_o ought_v have_v i_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o become_v i_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v follow_v my_o step_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v that_o their_o step_v aside_o from_o the_o right_a way_n have_v be_v through_o my_o default_n and_o offence_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v show_v they_o such_o example_n as_o i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o follow_v if_o father_n and_o master_n that_o have_v child_n and_o servant_n under_o their_o hand_n have_v this_o regard_n with_o they_o thing_n will_v be_v better_o order_v than_o they_o be_v and_o above_o all_o other_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o mark_v this_o precedent_n that_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o be_v watchful_a and_o to_o set_v good_a guard_n upon_o such_o as_o be_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n so_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o fault_n they_o must_v think_v themselves_o to_o blame_v for_o it_o and_o if_o they_o espy_v any_o disorder_n or_o looseness_n they_o must_v assure_v themselves_o that_o it_o be_v because_o they_o themselves_o have_v not_o discharge_v their_o duty_n likewise_o be_v it_o with_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n if_o they_o perceive_v that_o the_o church_n behave_v not_o itself_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v so_o as_o it_o have_v trouble_n and_o contrariety_n in_o it_o and_o special_o that_o god_n name_n be_v blaspheme_v it_o behove_v they_o to_o sigh_v for_o it_o and_o to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o it_o assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n show_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o have_v not_o discharge_v themselves_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o be_v bring_v low_a because_o of_o the_o fault_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n behold_v it_o be_v god_n will_v say_v he_o to_o do_v i_o shame_v there_o have_v saint_n paul_n consent_v to_o whoredom_n or_o to_o robbery_n or_o to_o wantonness_n or_o to_o other_o such_o vice_n of_o the_o corinthian_n no_o he_o have_v labour_v to_o rebuke_v they_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o have_v show_v they_o the_o way_n of_o riot_n no_o whit_n at_o all_o but_o although_o he_o have_v discharge_v himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a towards_o man_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o feel_v still_o that_o god_n mean_v as_o it_o be_v to_o disgrace_v he_o in_o part_n so_o as_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o bewail_v the_o offence_n and_o disorder_n that_o happen_v in_o the_o church_n whereof_o he_o have_v the_o direction_n and_o charge_n if_o saint_n paul_n who_o have_v have_v such_o a_o zeal_n to_o do_v his_o duty_n do_v nevertheless_o feel_v himself_o blameworthy_a when_o there_o befall_v any_o misorder_n in_o the_o church_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o who_o be_v as_o cold_a as_o ice_n in_o respect_n of_o he_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o which_o make_v no_o account_n at_o all_o whither_o god_n be_v honour_v or_o no_o but_o all_o be_v one_o with_o they_o so_o they_o may_v make_v their_o own_o profit_n and_o maintain_v their_o own_o state_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o that_o job_n sacrifice_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n and_o let_v we_o likewise_o take_v good_a advice_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o afore_o god_n and_o not_o only_o to_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n when_o the_o mischief_n be_v come_v to_o pass_v but_o also_o to_o prevent_v it_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a and_o how_o that_o parent_n hold_v their_o child_n short_a that_o master_n look_v well_o about_o they_o so_o as_o god_n be_v serve_v and_o honour_v by_o they_o and_o their_o house_n well_o rule_v in_o all_o pureness_n that_o they_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v little_a church_n also_o that_o such_o as_o have_v a_o more_o honourable_a charge_n and_o authority_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o diligent_a as_o for_o example_n that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v circumspect_a to_o make_v law_n convenient_a to_o hold_v their_o people_n in_o good_a order_n &_o to_o cut_v off_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v against_o the_o service_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o that_o when_o they_o have_v do_v so_o they_o be_v diligent_a to_o see_v good_a order_n keep_v when_o it_o be_v once_o appoint_v so_o as_o they_o shut_v not_o their_o eye_n to_o make_v countenance_n of_o not_o perceive_v the_o

what_o his_o nature_n be_v and_o where_o about_o he_o busy_v and_o apply_v himself_o altogether_o which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o hunt_v after_o his_o prey_n without_o cease_v like_o a_o roar_a lion_n and_o s._n peter_n use_v the_o say_a similitude_n purposely_o to_o waken_v we_o that_o we_o may_v stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n night_n and_o day_n and_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o against_o all_o that_o he_o can_v practice_v against_o we_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v not_o satan_n ne_o perceive_v not_o by_o eyesight_n what_o he_o prepare_v and_o practise_v to_o our_o destruction_n &_o therefore_o have_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o his_o guile_n and_o policy_n lo_o here_o the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o fight_n be_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o if_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o visible_a enemy_n we_o may_v well_o escape_v their_o hand_n by_o some_o shift_n or_o other_o and_o we_o may_v find_v the_o mean_a to_o resist_v they_o but_o behold_v say_v he_o they_o be_v spiritual_a guile_n that_o fight_v against_o we_o of_o who_o we_o have_v no_o sight_n at_o all_o except_o god_n give_v we_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o espy_v how_o satan_n be_v against_o we_o special_o by_o the_o temptation_n that_o he_o triumph_v in_o our_o way_n whereby_o he_o egg_v we_o to_o evil_a and_o labour_v to_o mar_v we_o so_o then_o we_o musteful_o resolve_v ourselves_o of_o this_o point_n namely_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v always_o buzy_a to_o procure_v our_o destruction_n that_o they_o go_v about_o the_o earth_n that_o they_o be_v never_o away_o from_o we_o that_o they_o be_v ever_o seek_v mean_n to_o get_v into_o we_o and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o find_v never_o so_o small_a a_o breach_n they_o enter_v into_o we_o to_o throw_v we_o into_o endless_a destruction_n and_o we_o be_v surprise_v before_o we_o mistrust_v that_o we_o be_v assail_v according_a as_o every_o man_n know_v by_o experience_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o when_o the_o devil_n be_v near_o we_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o see_v ourselves_o wound_v to_o death_n wherefore_o when_o we_o feel_v any_o wicked_a desire_n in_o ourselves_o so_o as_o we_o be_v carry_v some_o to_o one_o lewd_a ●ust_z &_o some_o to_o another_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o it_o be_v the_o enemy_n that_o work_v so_o crafty_o and_o thus_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v ever_o practise_v against_o we_o special_o against_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n for_o although_o the_o devil_n possess_v the_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_n and_o work_v in_o they_o with_o all_o

they_o be_v so_o bewitch_v in_o evil_a as_o they_o feel_v it_o not_o a_o whit_n for_o they_o be_v become_v blockish_a as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o another_o place_n but_o when_o the_o faithful_a find_v their_o mind_n attaint_v with_o any_o evil_n affection_n &_o that_o satan_n have_v prevail_v so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v entrance_n into_o they_o they_o know_v that_o satan_n have_v prevent_v they_o unwares_o &_o that_o they_o perceive_v not_o when_o he_o give_v they_o battle_n or_o alarm_n we_o must_v not_o tarry_v till_o we_o have_v such_o a_o assault_n but_o we_o must_v be_v afraid_a &_o take_v heed_n to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v for_o god_n show_v the_o care_n which_o he_o have_v of_o we_o and_o how_o it_o be_v not_o his_o will_n we_o shall_v be_v take_v unwares_o for_o want_n of_o know_v our_o adversary_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n go_v about_o the_o earth_n continual_o hunt_v after_o their_o prey_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o enemy_n be_v at_o

withstand_v they_o and_o why_o so_o because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a and_o have_v a_o care_n to_o preserve_v this_o transitory_a life_n but_o behold_v our_o enemy_n satan_n have_v store_n of_o wile_n and_o subtlety_n more_o dangerous_a and_o mischievous_a than_o all_o the_o enemy_n in_o the_o world_n his_o desire_n be_v to_o cast_v we_o all_o headlong_a into_o destruction_n we_o know_v what_o

when_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o satan_n cease_v not_o to_o go_v about_o the_o world_n but_o continual_o follow_v the_o chase_n and_o be_v never_o idle_a we_o must_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o that_o doctrine_n and_o why_o because_o he_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o our_o welfare_n desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o lead_v we_o into_o the_o same_o destruction_n whereunto_o he_o himself_o be_v

thereupon_o he_o himself_o may_v be_v glorify_v against_o satan_n in_o our_o person_n and_o sure_o the_o honour_n be_v inestimable_a which_o god_n do_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o choose_v we_o i_o say_v when_o he_o choose_v we_o poor_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v glorify_v in_o we_o against_o satan_n and_o to_o make_v his_o triumph_n by_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o thing_n this_o be_v towards_o man_n alas_o and_o can_v god_n draw_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o man_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o he_o can_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o evil_n but_o what_o then_o after_o that_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o he_o shed_v out_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o we_o and_o give_v we_o of_o his_o grace_n where_o through_o it_o

matter_n if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o exercise_v we_o with_o store_n of_o encounter_n &_o temptation_n but_o rather_o when_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n keep_v we_o occupy_v the_o fruit_n that_o come_v of_o our_o encounter_n ought_v to_o content_v we_o thorough_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v glorirify_v &_o that_o his_o power_n be_v know_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o satan_n be_v confound_v in_o all_o his_o assault_n see_v then_o that_o the_o issue_n of_o our_o conflict_n be_v such_o &_o so_o happy_a i_o pray_v you_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o bear_v they_o patient_o moreover_o like_v as_o god_n spite_v satan_n in_o the_o person_n of_o job_n so_o also_o have_v we_o wherewith_o to_o spite_v all_o our_o enemy_n when_o this_o protection_n of_o god_n be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v he_o that_o dwell_v &_o reign_v in_o our_o
every_o whit_n of_o it_o go_v incontinent_o unto_o dust_n &_o we_o be_v consume_v either_o by_o worm_n or_o by_o wind_n that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v dispatch_v as_o soon_o as_o a_o worm_n which_o be_v but_o a_o thing_n of_o nought_o and_o which_o we_o scarce_o esteem_v as_o a_o live_a creature_n &_o yet_o be_v we_o consume_v soon_o than_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o place_n afterwards_o eliphas_n add_v that_o man_n perish_v and_o be_v consume_v from_o morning_n unto_o evening_n some_o expound_v this_o as_o though_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o man_n perish_v in_o small_a time_n &_o that_o be_v very_o true_a but_o herewithal_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o pass_v not_o a_o minute_n of_o our_o life_n but_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o approach_n unto_o death_n if_o we_o consider_v it_o well_o when_o a_o man_n rise_v in_o the_o morning_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o shall_v not_o step_v forth_o one_o pace_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o shall_v not_o take_v his_o repast_n he_o be_v sure_a he_o shall_v not_o turn_v about_o his_o hand_n but_o he_o shall_v still_o wax_v elder_a and_o elder_a and_o his_o life_n ever_o shorten_v then_o must_v we_o consider_v even_o by_o eye_n sight_n that_o our_o life_n fleet_v &_o slide_v away_o from_o we_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o be_v consume_v from_o morning_n to_o evening_n and_o it_o be_v say_v afterward_o that_o man_n perish_v for_o ever_o because_o no_o man_n think_v upon_o it_o we_o must_v treat_v of_o these_o two_o point_n that_o we_o may_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o doctrine_n the_o one_o poyntis_n that_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v always_o have_v death_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o be_v provoke_v to_o think_v upon_o it_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v well_o know_v among_o man_n the_o very_a heathen_a have_v skill_n to_o say_v so_o but_o what_o for_o that_o every_o man_n can_v play_v the_o doctor_n in_o teach_v other_o

which_o show_v by_o his_o do_n that_o ever_o he_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consume_v from_o morning_n to_o evening_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o all_o his_o lustiness_n be_v but_o feebleness_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o we_o to_o hold_v ourselves_o in_o one_o continual_a state_n but_o that_o we_o always_o have_v towards_o death_n &_o death_n towards_o we_o so_o as_o we_o must_v needs_o come_v thither_o at_o legnth_n very_o if_o we_o have_v no_o more_o but_o this_o single_a doctrine_n alone_o it_o will_v stand_v we_o in_o no_o stead_n but_o to_o make_v we_o storm_n &_o torment_v ourselves_o like_v as_o when_o the_o paynim_n know_v that_o our_o life_n be_v so_o flightful_a they_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o it_o be_v best_o never_o to_o be_v bear_v and_o that_o the_o soon_o we_o die_v the_o better_a it_o be_v for_o we_o lo_o how_o the_o paynim_n reject_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o do_v we_o when_o he_o send_v we_o into_o this_o world_n even_o to_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v reasonable_a creature_n &_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n print_v in_o our_o nature_n we_o have_v a_o record_n that_o he_o hold_v we_o here_o as_o his_o child_n and_o to_o despise_v such_o a_o grace_n and_o to_o say_v it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o we_o never_o to_o have_v be_v create_v be_v it_o not_o apparent_a blasphemy_n so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v consume_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n but_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o have_v well_o behild_n how_o brittle_a our_o life_n be_v we_o must_v also_o mark_v how_o we_o be_v repair_v again_o by_o god_n grace_n &_o special_o how_o we_o be_v sustain_v &_o uphold_n by_o the_o same_o according_a also_o as_o these_o two_o point_n be_v match_v together_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o four_o psalm_n for_o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n withdraw_v his_o spirit_n and_o work_v all_o go_v to_o decay_v yea_o but_o the_o prophet_n add_v also_o that_o if_o god_n spread_v forth_o his_o power_n all_o be_v renew_v in_o this_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n take_v their_o liveliness_n of_o he_o we_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v less_o than_o nothing_o and_o that_o we_o be_v so_o subject_a unto_o death_n as_o we_o must_v run_v thither_o as_o you_o will_v say_v spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n we_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o in_o this_o so_o great_a weakness_n god_n hold_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n so_o as_o we_o be_v uphild_n by_o his_o power_n and_o strengthen_v by_o his_o grate_n behold_v wherein_o we_o have_v to_o rejoice_v but_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o benefit_n &_o good_a grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o above_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n in_o restore_v we_o by_o his_o word_n as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v all_o flesh_n be_v but_o as_o grass_n very_o man_n be_v green_a &_o flourish_v for_o a_o while_n but_o he_o wither_v by_o &_o by_o whereas_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n endure_v for_o ever_o yea_o not_o only_o to_o continue_v in_o heaven_n but_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o it_o we_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o the_o universal_a corruption_n of_o this_o earthly_a life_n that_o god_n may_v dwell_v in_o we_o &_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o everlastingness_n we_o see_v they_o whereto_o we_o must_v come_v to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o lesson_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v yet_o once_o again_o anon_o furthermore_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v ourselves_o wanze_v away_o so_o fast_o that_o from_o morning_n to_o evening_n we_o go_v continual_o to_o our_o decay_n therefore_o must_v we_o be_v the_o busy_a to_o bestow_v the_o time_n well_o that_o god_n give_v we_o because_o it_o be_v so_o short_a god_n have_v put_v we_o into_o this_o world_n to_o keep_v we_o occupy_v in_o his_o service_n if_o we_o have_v long_a time_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o be_v to_o diligent_a nor_o earnest_a in_o do_v our_o duty_n too_o discharge_v our_o self_n when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o point_n to_o do_v god_n service_n both_o with_o our_o body_n &_o our_o soul_n but_o forasmuchas_o we_o see_v that_o he_o need_v but_o to_o turn_v his_o hand_n and_o behold_v we_o be_v at_o the_o last_o cast_v ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v much_o more_o earnest_a to_o run_v according_a also_o as_o the_o scripture_n exhort_v we_o show_v we_o that_o this_o life_n here_o be_v but_o a_o race_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o go_v loyter_o but_o every_o man_n must_v cheer_n up_o himself_o &_o prick_v and_o spur_v forward_o himself_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v as_o yet_o to_o note_v upon_o this_o sentence_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n be_v consume_v away_o from_o morning_n to_o night_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o eliphas_n add_v he_o say_v that_o they_o perish_v for_o ever_o because_o no_o man_n think_v upon_o it_o a_o man_n may_v demand_v here_o whether_o we_o shun_v death_n when_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o it_o for_o in_o the_o nine_o and_o forty_o psalm_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wise_a man_n and_o fool_n be_v gather_v all_o into_o one_o herd_n so_o then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v shut_v

to_o tea●he_v we_o here_o that_o man_n do_v as_o it_o be_v wax_v beastly_a when_o they_o look_v not_o to_o themselves_o for_o look_v what_o he_o speak_v here_o we_o must_v always_o refer_v it_o to_o

if_o a_o man_n talk_v to_o we_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o concern_v this_o present_a life_n we_o be_v amaze_v out_o of_o measure_n nevertheless_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o other_o continue_v

be_v tempt_v much_o more_o without_o all_o comparison_n than_o if_o they_o endure_v all_o the_o misery_n that_o be_v possible_a too_o be_v imagine_v sometime_o we_o shall_v think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v speak_v thus_o and_o what_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o as_o a_o lion_n towards_o i_o he_o have_v break_v all_o my_o bone_n i_o be_o on_o a_o burn_a fire_n i_o wot_v

have_v see_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o as_o they_o have_v have_v a_o invincible_a courage_n have_v not_o david_n a_o goodly_a patience_n god_n exercise_v he_o very_o much_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v he_o always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n so_o he_o be_v never_o carry_v away_o unto_o wickedness_n for_o all_o the_o trouble_n that_o befall_v he_o you_o see_v here_o a_o man_n of_o

we_o mark_v that_o he_o be_v not_o press_v with_o bodily_a harm_n and_o although_o he_o be_v sensible_a as_o other_o man_n be_v yet_o have_v it_o not_o great_o grieve_v he_o too_o bear_v any_o

touch_v in_o his_o conscience_n as_o though_o god_n have_v not_o only_o forsake_v he_o but_o also_o be_v become_v his_o deadly_a foe_n and_o pursue_v he_o even_o unto_o hell_n too_o say_v thou_o shall_v have_v neither_o peace_n nor_o truce_n but_o i_o will_v drown_v thou_o altogether_o see_v then_o that_o david_n be_v so_o press_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o perceive_v that_o god_n wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o he_o you_o see_v what_o nip_v he_o even_o too_o the_o heart_n ezechias_n feel_v as_o much_o for_o god_n not_o only_o afflict_v he_o with_o sickness_n as_o may_v common_o befall_v unto_o we_o but_o also_o beside_o that_o he_o show_v he_o a_o token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n therefore_o it_o seem_v unto_o he_o that_o god_n will_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v all_o the_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v grant_v he_o before_o and_o further_o that_o his_o death_n shall_v cause_v god_n service_n too_o be_v quite_o overthrow_v which_o have_v be_v establish_v by_o his_o

make_v such_o complaint_n as_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o song_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o in_o our_o body_n we_o can_v well_o take_v patient_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o send_v we_o for_o that_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o anguish_n which_o they_o endure_v who_o he_o make_v to_o feel_v his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n too_o come_v thereunto_o and_o although_o it_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o bitter_a a_o thing_n unto_o we_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o come_v too_o it_o and_o why_o so_o for_o they_o that_o conceive_v not_o their_o bodily_a tribulation_n pass_v not_o too_o seek_v help_n of_o the_o disease_n of_o their_o soul_n because_o they_o

more_o than_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o be_v wound_v with_o god_n judgement_n that_o when_o we_o have_v take_v hold_n of_o it_o we_o may_v be_v constrain_v to_o groan_v under_o such_o anguish_n according_a as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o have_v be_v in_o job._n true_a it_o be_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v not_o have_v like_o measure_n and_o god_n also_o know_v what_o we_o be_v able_a too_o bear_v according_a as_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v weak_a and_o as_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v endue_v he_o with_o so_o great_a a_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o very_o will_v he_o make_v he_o too_o

utter_o dismay_v he_o but_o as_o for_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v a_o more_o singular_a strength_n and_o who_o god_n have_v fortify_v with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o sustain_v great_a brunt_n and_o far_o rough_a assault_n than_o such_o as_o be_v feeble_a like_o little_a child_n and_o here_o you_o perceive_v why_o we_o see_v these_o spiritual_a battle_n in_o david_n ezechias_n and_o job_n which_o never_o a_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o himself_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o portion_n of_o they_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v without_o it_o we_o will_v become_v dullard_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o conscience_n rock_v asleep_a too_o much_o but_o when_o god_n press_v we_o with_o his_o judgement_n it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o small_a while_n if_o we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o the_o holy_a person_n that_o have_v encounter_v against_o the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o why_o so_o for_o god_n have_v arm_v they_o yea_o and_o he_o have_v so_o fence_v they_o with_o his_o own_o strength_n that_o although_o they_o be_v bow_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o utter_o beat_v down_o and_o if_o they_o be_v beat_v down_o yet_o do_v god_n lift_v they_o up_o again_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o here_o furthermore_o when_o we_o see_v job_n so_o sore_o press_v even_o job_n i_o say_v who_o be_v the_o mirror_n of_o patience_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v advise_o for_o if_o this_o

as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o speak_v and_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o then_o if_o god_n listen_v too_o scourge_v we_o rigorous_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o quail_v utter_o but_o this_o must_v not_o astonie_n we_o nevertheless_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o be_v afraid_a for_o we_o can_v be_v hardy_a enough_o while_o we_o be_v far_o from_o blow_n as_o our_o ordinary_a manner_n

conclude_v that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o god_n to_o raise_v we_o up_o again_o saint_n paul_n show_v that_o such_o folk_n be_v malicious_a and_o that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o their_o own_o unthankfulness_n that_o turn_v they_o away_o from_o the_o receive_n of_o this_o power_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o poomise_v too_o set_v we_o in_o perfect_a state_n again_o and_o why_o so_o for_o he_o give_v we_o certain_a familiar_a likelihood_n in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n too_o assure_v we_o of_o his_o good_a purpose_n so_o then_o when_o saint_n paul_n use_v the_o foresay_a manner_n of_o reason_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o our_o resurrection_n shall_v be_v as_o a_o natural_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o understand_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

necessary_a lesson_n for_o we_o now_o a_o day_n for_o how_o shall_v man_n be_v able_a to_o humble_v themselves_o except_o they_o set_v before_o they_o on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n gracious_a goodness_n to_o say_v this_o be_v not_o my_o own_o i_o have_v not_o this_o of_o myself_o my_o possess_n of_o it_o be_v but_o because_o he_o dare_v it_o i_o therefore_o i_o must_v do_v he_o homage_n for_o it_o and_o therewithal_o consider_v how_o favourable_a my_o god_n be_v to_o i_o and_o how_o bountiful_a he_o show_v himself_o toward_o i_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o job_n word_n be_v to_o express_v what_o man_n be_v if_o god_n leave_v he_o up_o to_o himself_o
mouth_n for_o god_n have_v set_v his_o sustenance_n in_o the_o labour_n of_o his_o hand_n if_o i_o do_v he_o wrong_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o suck_v the_o blood_n out_o of_o he_o who_o

example_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v lay_v it_o forth_o by_o piecemeal_o &_o that_o according_a as_o any_o of_o we_o have_v too_o deal_v with_o our_o neighbour_n we_o

his_o own_o household_n for_o before_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o faithful_a man_n to_o forbear_v evildoing_a direct_o himself_o but_o also_o he_o will_v have_v all_o crooked_a way_n to_o be_v far_o from_o we_o and_o special_o that_o we_o have_v a_o care_n to_o govern_v our_o house_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v both_o of_o the_o child_n and_o of_o the_o husband_n and_o of_o the_o wife_n and_o of_o the_o master_n &_o of_o the_o menseruant_n and_o of_o the_o make_a servant_n and_o will_v god_n that_o this_o be_v think_v upon_o better_a than_o it_o be_v for_o where_o the_o head_n of_o a_o house_n go_v astray_o and_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o there_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o all_o go_v to_o wreck_n and_o that_o the_o child_n also_o do_v no_o honour_n to_o their_o father_n &_o mother_n for_o they_o become_v not_o better_o but_o before_o they_o can_v have_v any_o discretion_n you_o shall_v see_v they_o root_v in_o

their_o servant_n commit_v any_o lewd_a prank_n or_o filche_v any_o thing_n from_o they_o or_o serve_v they_o not_o as_o they_o will_v have_v they_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n if_o god_n be_v offend_v a_o thousand_o way_n it_o make_v no_o matter_n that_o shall_v be_v let_v slip_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o content_a god_n by_o be_v careful_a to_o serve_v he_o all_o only_a in_o our_o own_o person_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o those_o who_o we_o have_v charge_n of_o that_o we_o keep_v away_o evil_a in_o any_o wise_a assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o consent_v unto_o it_o we_o must_v be_v wrap_v in_o the_o same_o damnation_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v but_o if_o we_o be_v so_o diligent_a as_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o it_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o our_o god_n will_v regard_v we_o with_o mercy_n and_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o we_o with_o all_o blessing_n and_o grace_n according_a as_o be_v promise_v here_o very_o we_o have_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o to_o mark_v which_o be_v that_o god_n favour_n will_v not_o show_v itself_o always_o at_o the_o first_o brunt_n the_o promise_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o law_n or_o at_o leastwise_o be_v of_o the_o same_o effect_n for_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o time_n this_o book_n be_v write_v but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v to_o they_o for_o you_o see_v here_o a_o doctrine_n which_o be_v conformable_a to_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n where_o our_o lord_n promise_v to_o bliss_n those_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o dwell_v among_o they_o and_o to_o make_v they_o perceive_v how_o available_a his_o presence_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o their_o life_n shall_v be_v happy_a by_o it_o but_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n make_v we_o not_o to_o feel_v his_o favour_n at_o the_o first_o push_n therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bliss_v and_o he_o will_v make_v they_o to_o prosper_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n visit_v not_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v alienate_v quite_o from_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o linger_v in_o pain_n so_o as_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o they_o be_v but_o that_o to_o their_o seem_n god_n have_v utter_o forsake_v they_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o walk_v in_o this_o world_n through_o many_o affliction_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o serve_v god_n but_o heerewithall_o we_o have_v a_o double_a comfort_n which_o be_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o although_o our_o heart_n tend_v unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o with_o such_o zeal_n as_o it_o ought_v neither_o do_v we_o serve_v he_o with_o such_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o do_v therefore_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v punishment_n and_o correction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o yet_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n make_v we_o to_o consider_v our_o own_o want_n that_o we_o may_v humble_v ourselves_o fall_v to_o amendment_n and_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o we_o have_v be_v exercise_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o the_o trouble_n that_o he_o send_v lo_o here_o one_o great_a comfort_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o like_a as_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o tribulation_n and_o death_n even_o

see_v the_o elder_a sort_n show_v not_o good_a example_n special_o that_o they_o pervert_v the_o good_a by_o turn_v it_o into_o evil_n then_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v mete_v that_o god_n spirit_n shall_v show_v itself_o where_o it_o be_v like_o as_o in_o our_o time_n they_o that_o have_v be_v mislead_v in_o the_o superstition_n of_o popery_n the_o long_a they_o have_v live_v in_o the_o world_n have_v still_o the_o lesser_a knowledge_n now_o to_o tarry_v till_o god_n shall_v serve_v his_o turn_n by_o they_o i_o mean_v common_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a these_o than_o be_v age_a man_n that_o have_v have_v long_a experience_n but_o what_o for_o that_o they_o have_v be_v plunge_v in_o darkness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o pureness_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n of_o any_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o they_o now_o if_o god_n listen_v to_o call_v young_a man_n to_o publish_v his_o word_n abroad_o it_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v so_o bridle_a that_o young_a man_n may_v not_o speak_v and_o old_a man_n be_v content_v to_o hear_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o like_a as_o god_n call_v some_o of_o all_o sort_n so_o have_v it_o common_o be_v his_o will_n to_o be_v serve_v by_o the_o elder_a sort_n nevertheless_o he_o have_v declare_v also_o that_o his_o truth_n be_v not_o tie_v unto_o age_n so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o what_o modesty_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o all_o man_n general_o and_o special_o in_o young_a man_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o must_v yield_v

have_v need_v too_o be_v guide_v and_o govern_v by_o those_o that_o be_v of_o more_o experience_n this_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v restrain_v from_o judge_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o

be_v so_o for_o discretion_n ought_v to_o be_v match_v with_o zeal_n according_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n contain_v both_o of_o they_o in_o he_o so_o than_o if_o there_o be_v modesty_n in_o man_n there_o must_v be_v also_o zeal_n and_o discretion_n and_o we_o must_v not_o only_o not_o be_v bridle_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o as_o have_v live_v

according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v declare_v yesterday_o and_o always_o we_o see_v that_o which_o be_v say_v namely_o that_o when_o god_n spirit_n govern_v a_o man_n then_o like_a as_o he_o give_v

friend_n for_o he_o upbraid_v they_o express_o that_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o have_v find_v wisdom_n like_a as_o we_o common_o say_v in_o the_o proverb_n that_o a_o man_n think_v he_o have_v find_v the_o bean_n in_o the_o cake_n when_o there_o be_v some_o subtle_a meaning_n in_o a_o thing_n and_o he_o wind_v himself_o into_o some_o company_n to_o put_v forth_o his_o opinion_n and_o

the_o knot_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v press_v job_n after_o that_o sort_n and_o punish_v he_o so_o rough_o therefore_o he_o be_v his_o enemy_n you_o take_v that_o to_o be_v so_o good_a and_o strong_a a_o foundation_n as_o can_v be_v but_o it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a according_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o although_o god_n do_v visit_v a_o man_n it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v wicked_a for_o albeit_o that_o god_n do_v threaten_v the_o transgressor_n of_o his_o law_n to_o punish_v they_o both_o in_o their_o own_o person_n &_o in_o their_o good_n &_o in_o their_o child_n yet_o be_v not_o job_n persecute_v in_o that_o respect_n but_o for_o another_o cause_n although_o god_n threaten_v the_o transgressor_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o he_o reserve_v not_o liberty_n to_o himself_o to_o exercise_v the_o patience_n of_o the_o faithful_a when_o he_o list_v or_o that_o he_o may_v not_o show_v himself_o rough_a towards_o they_o although_o he_o have_v not_o a_o respect_n unto_o their_o offence_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v wherefore_o then_o to_o humble_v they_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o it_o ought_v well_o to_o suffice_v beside_o this_o god_n will_v have_v his_o servant_n a_o example_n unto_o other_o and_o moreover_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o mortify_v their_o fleshly_a affection_n for_o oftentimes_o we_o have_v secret_a vice_n in_o we_o the_o which_o god_n remedy_v beforehand_o and_o sometime_o when_o he_o send_v we_o affliction_n we_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o he_o see_v far_o clear_a than_o we_o so_o then_o we_o must_v full_o conclude_v that_o god_n scourge_v the_o good_a and_o such_o as_o have_v not_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n and_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o show_v himself_o rough_a towards_o they_o and_o too_o execute_v great_a rigour_n upon_o they_o in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o he_o be_v mind_v too_o overwhelm_v they_o utter_o and_o be_v it_o therefore_o to_o be_v say_v that_o man_n shall_v count_v they_o wicked_a no_o then_o be_v it_o a_o fond_a argument_n and_o although_o job_n friend_n ground_n themselves_o upon_o it_o and_o think_v to_o have_v find_v wisdom_n in_o that_o behalf_n yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o childish_a thing_n wherefore_o concern_v this_o text_n let_v we_o bear_v that_o thing_n in_o mind_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o which_o be_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o discrete_o when_o god_n afflict_v man_n and_o not_o to_o judge_v of_o they_o at_o adventure_n that_o he_o which_o be_v beat_v with_o god_n rod_n be_v forthwith_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o his_o affliction_n for_o it_o be_v a_o rash_a and_o unwise_a proceed_n too_o make_v a_o general_a rule_n of_o it_o how_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n have_v diverse_a reason_n to_o afflict_v
they_o but_o contrariwise_o god_n will_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v both_o skill_n and_o discretion_n that_o we_o be_v not_o abuse_v and_o seduce_v by_o the_o false_a doctrine_n that_o man_n shall_v bring_v we_o how_o shall_v that_o be_v do_v true_o we_o must_v not_o presume_v to_o judge_v of_o god_n truth_n according_a to_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o fancy_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o captive_a all_o our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n as_o the_o scripture_n show_v we_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v therewithal_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o discretion_n to_o discern_v whether_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o be_v good_a and_o right_n or_o no._n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o with_o all_o lowliness_n desire_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o to_o be_v under_o his_o hand_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o by_o that_o mean_n we_o shall_v know_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o right_n in_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v tell_v we_o or_o no._n also_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n allege_v when_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o receive_v his_o say_n i_o seek_v not_o my_o own_o glory_n say_v he_o but_o the_o glory_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o always_o too_o search_v to_o what_o end_n the_o man_n tend_v that_o speak_v unto_o we_o for_o if_o we_o see_v that_o the_o mark_n which_o he_o shoot_v at_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v and_o reign_v over_o all_o man_n there_o must_v be_v no_o more_o dispute_v against_o he_o but_o we_o must_v rest_v full_o there_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o his_o doctrine_n tend_v to_o the_o deface_v of_o god_n glory_n too_o the_o turn_n of_o we_o from_o his_o service_n or_o too_o the_o advance_n of_o ambition_n and_o vanity_n so_o as_o it_o build_v we_o not_o up_o to_o be_v the_o true_a temple_n of_o god_n or_o if_o it_o ground_n we_o not_o upon_o god_n too_o remit_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o too_o call_v upon_o he_o pure_o and_o to_o rest_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o grace_n and_o fatherly_a goodness_n then_o do_v we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o rightness_n in_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v fore_o cumber_v in_o that_o case_n if_o god_n have_v not_o first_o of_o all_o show_v we_o what_o manner_n of_o one_o this_o rightness_n be_v but_o if_o we_o have_v once_o the_o principle_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o we_o can_v never_o swerve_v unless_o it_o be_v long_o of_o ourselves_o behold_v god_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v exalt_v and_o have_v man_n too_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o goodness_n come_v of_o he_o again_o he_o will_v also_o have_v all_o lordship_n and_o power_n over_o our_o life_n and_o therein_o hold_v we_o so_o in_o awe_n as_o we_o may_v be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o according_a to_o his_o good_a will_n he_o will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v utter_o abse_z and_o bereave_v of_o the_o trust_n of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n wisdom_n and_o strength_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o come_v and_o draw_v water_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o in_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o pure_o and_o he_o will_v have_v the_o sacrament_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v to_o be_v receive_v as_o warrant_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o as_z mean_n and_o help_v to_o further_o we_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o so_o much_o the_o more_o free_a and_o earnest_a heart_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o there_o can_v be_v no_o gloze_n nor_o any_o darkness_n or_o difficulty_n so_o then_o let_v we_o always_o have_v this_o touchstone_n with_o we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o try_v of_o any_o doctrine_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceive_v whether_o it_o be_v right_a or_o wrong_n true_a or_o false_a pure_a or_o

only_o let_v we_o open_v our_o eye_n and_o therewithal_o pray_v god_n to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o wander_v and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v so_o much_o as_o little_a child_n according_a as_o s._n paul_n say_v god_n spirit_n must_v be_v as_o a_o cresset_n to_o give_v we_o light_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v never_o comprehend_v god_n secret_n they_o be_v spiritual_a and_o we_o of_o our_o nature_n be_v fleshly_a and_o earthly_a and_o we_o always_o bear_v downward_a but_o if_o god_n enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n then_o do_v we_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discern_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o can_v be_v deceive_v by_o all_o satan_n temptation_n and_o although_o he_o send_v we_o deceiver_n &_o raise_v up_o many_o turmoiler_n that_o labour_v to_o turn_v all_o thing_n upside_o down_o yet_o can_v that_o prevail_v any_o thing_n against_o we_o so_o long_o as_o god_n spirit_n be_v our_o light_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o furthermore_o although_o god_n do_v sometime_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wicked_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v further_v now_o and_o then_o by_o occasion_n so_o as_o the_o hypocrite_n or_o folk_n that_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o be_v lead_v with_o vainglory_n and_o

please_v god_n to_o have_v we_o edify_v in_o he_o immediate_o he_o raise_v up_o man_n that_o speak_v hearty_o and_o zealous_o yea_o and_o he_o give_v such_o a_o mark_n to_o the_o word_n that_o come_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n as_o man_n may_v know_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a as_o also_o saint_n paul_n say_v and_o here_o you_o see_v that_o such_o as_o be_v in_o office_n to_o preach_v god_n word_n ought_v so_o much_o the_o better_a too_o practise_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o learn_v well_o themselves_o before_o they_o teach_v other_o so_o as_o their_o heart_n may_v speak_v before_o their_o mouth_n for_o the_o bring_n hereof_o too_o pass_v let_v they_o pray_v god_n so_o to_o touch_v they_o too_o the_o quick_a as_o they_o may_v have_v the_o word_n well_o root_v in_o their_o mind_n that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a both_o to_o serve_v their_o neighbour_n and_o too_o perceive_v that_o they_o thrust_v not_o forth_o themselves_o at_o adventure_n but_o that_o they_o be_v draw_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n eliu_n protest_v that_o he_o be_v a_o transitory_a and_o frail_a man_n so_o that_o he_o can_v make_v job_n afraid_a nevertheless_o will_v he_o not_o win_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o by_o reason_n and_o truth_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a point_n by_o the_o way_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v the_o manner_n of_o speech_n that_o be_v use_v here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n

man_n do_v glory_n so_o much_o in_o themselves_o and_o be_v so_o full_a of_o overween_a but_o first_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o their_o own_o original_a beginning_n and_o second_o for_o that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o consider_v in_o good_a earnest_n that_o look_v whatsoever_o they_o have_v they_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o heritage_n unto_o they_o but_o that_o they_o have_v their_o life_n &_o all_o the_o appurtenance_n thereof_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o preserve_v they_o then_o if_o man_n can_v first_o consider_v from_o whence_o

and_o to_o have_v print_v therein_o some_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n but_o he_o have_v also_o give_v we_o his_o word_n and_o will_v have_v it_o publish_v unto_o we_o daily_o there_o he_o

that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o pure_a and_o rightmeen_a mind_n to_o go_v unto_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v well_o have_v some_o show_n of_o devotion_n as_o we_o see_v among_o the_o

that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n be_v that_o although_o the_o wretched_a paynim_n dwell_v in_o darkness_n and_o may_v be_v liken_v to_o blind_a man_n which_o

be_v it_o not_o therefore_o to_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v well_o and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o ability_n in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o seek_v god_n we_o entreat_v

and_o that_o we_o be_v cleeresighted_a and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o have_v a_o freedom_n to_o do_v good_a or_o evil_n but_o it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o beastliness_n too_o reason_n after_o

with_o the_o other_o namely_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o bereave_v of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n see_v how_o the_o heritage_n which_o we_o have_v of_o our_o

therefore_o we_o be_v enemy_n unto_o god_n and_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o imagination_n be_v enmity_n too_o his_o righteousness_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the_o eight_o to_o

what_o a_o range_a be_v that_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o job_n tell_v we_o here_o for_o a_o general_a principle_n that_o when_o god_n work_n and_o the_o scan_n how_o all_o thing_n
