the_o wicked_a sort_n be_v accurse_v according_a also_o as_o god_n avouch_v that_o he_o will_v pursue_v his_o vengeance_n to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n upon_o those_o that_o despise_v

see_v a_o father_n that_o have_v get_v much_o good_n how_o be_v it_o by_o wicked_a bargain_n by_o subtlety_n by_o craft_n and_o by_o cruelty_n and_o yet_o will_v god_n have_v pity_n upon_o the_o

to_o save_v his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v wrap_v in_o the_o mischief_n and_o corruption_n which_o his_o father_n have_v draw_v unto_o himself_o behold_v how_o god_n punish_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n and_o yet_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o child_n and_o too_o show_v they_o mercy_n sometime_o he_o pass_v further_o and_o because_o the_o father_n have_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o all_o square_a as_o they_o have_v lead_v a_o stubborn_a froward_a life_n god_n forsake_v their_o offspring_n insomuch_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n dwell_v not_o with_o they_o now_o when_o we_o be_v so_o destitute_a of_o god_n guide_v we_o must_v needs_o run_v into_o destruction_n and_o needs_o must_v the_o mischief_n increase_v more_o and_o more_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o child_n of_o the_o ungodly_a do_v bear_v the_o sin_n of_o their_o father_n it_o be_v not_o only_o for_o that_o god_n forsake_v

which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o that_o righteousness_n which_o he_o stand_v to_o and_o accept_v we_o shall_v be_v nothing_o &_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v in_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v utter_o deface_v this_o require_v a_o large_a declaration_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v true_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o in_o his_o law_n there_o be_v not_o any_o mortal_a wight_n that_o can_v be_v find_v righteous_a for_o where_o be_v the_o perfect_a love_n that_o be_v require_v there_o i_o say_v we_o love_v not_o god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o forsomuch_o then_o as_o we_o fail_v both_o in_o love_n towards_o god_n &_o in_o charity_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n we_o be_v condemn_v by_o god_n law_n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n allege_v this_o text_n curse_v be_v he_o that_o persourm_v not_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n conclude_v thereupon_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o any_o righteousness_n among_o man_n nor_o any_o hope_n of_o their_o salvation_n if_o they_o rest_v upon_o their_o own_o work_n why_o so_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n be_v curse_v therefore_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o yea_o very_o for_o be_v there_o any_o to_o be_v find_v which_o have_v walk_v according_a to_o god_n law_n no_o i_o mean_v in_o full_a perfection_n for_o if_o we_o have_v miss_v in_o any_o one_o point_n we_o be_v guilty_a in_o all_o because_o that_o as_o s._n james_n say_v he_o that_o have_v forbid_v to_o murder_v have_v also_o forbid_v to_o steal_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v offend_v god_n majesty_n &_o have_v wrought_v against_o his_o righteousness_n must_v we_o not_o needs_o come_v short_a of_o righteousness_n mark_v then_o a_o special_a point_n which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n enter_v into_o account_v with_o we_o according_a too_o the_o rule_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o law_n he_o shall_v not_o find_v so_o much_o as_o one_o righteous_a man_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n there_o be_v that_o walk_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n howbeit_o not_o through_o their_o own_o nature_n for_o how_o fair_a show_n soever_o we_o make_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o till_o god_n govern_v we_o with_o his_o spirit_n all_o the_o holiness_n that_o man_n perceive_v in_o we_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n and_o untruth_n but_o if_o god_n touch_v our_o heart_n and_o write_v his_o law_n within_o the_o same_o then_o shall_v we_o obey_v he_o howbeit_o not_o thorough_o nor_o with_o such_o perfect_a soundness_n as_o we_o may_v come_v bold_o before_o god_n to_o be_v acquit_v nevertheless_o there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a for_o although_o the_o faithful_a man_n have_v many_o infirmity_n in_o he_o and_o can_v walk_v so_o right_a as_o he_o fain_o will_v yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o serve_v god_n he_o labour_v in_o it_o &_o he_o enforce_v himself_o to_o it_o whereas_o the_o faithless_a take_v scorn_n of_o all_o goodness_n cast_v god_n off_o and_o make_v none_o account_v of_o he_o but_o be_v give_v to_o his_o own_o sensuality_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o some_o may_v be_v call_v righteous_a who_o deserve_v not_o to_o be_v accept_v so_o before_o god_n there_o be_v no_o find_v of_o any_o perfect_a righteousness_n here_o in_o man_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v behold_v to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o or_o that_o they_o have_v deserve_v well_o at_o his_o hand_n &_o that_o he_o can_v find_v any_o fault_n in_o they_o or_o in_o their_o life_n no_o but_o we_o speak_v of_o another_o righteousness_n which_o god_n accept_v of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v but_o half_a a_o one_o which_o may_v be_v right_o condemn_v howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o condemn_v because_o god_n impute_v not_o the_o fault_n and_o imperfection_n that_o be_v in_o his_o faithful_a one_o and_o job_n do_v not_o here_o term_v himself_o a_o wicked_a man_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o lawless_a &_o awelesse_a person_n you_o shall_v see_v a_o whoremonger_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o all_o filthiness_n &_o mock_v at_o god_n to_o the_o full_a you_o shall_v see_v a_o cruel_a man_n give_v to_o extortion_n you_o shall_v see_v a_o blasphemer_n or_o swearer_n &_o these_o manner_n of_o man_n be_v wicked_a in_o their_o conversation_n for_o their_o naughtiness_n be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o square_a as_o we_o ought_v of_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 god_n have_v commend_v unto_o i_o and_o who_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o relieve_v you_o see_v then_o how_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o estate_n and_o i_o have_v allege_v 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 shall_v behave_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v give_v no_o man_n occasion_n to_o complain_v of_o we_o and_o furthermore_o also_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_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 naughtiness_n and_o the_o man_n and_o maiden_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o corruption_n true_a it_o be_v that_o master_n and_o mistress_n can_v tell_v well_o enough_o how_o to_o find_v fault_n when_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

continue_v his_o favour_n upon_o their_o child_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o god_n bear_v we_o such_o love_n as_o he_o be_v not_o content_a nor_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o

likewise_o we_o see_v then_o how_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v describe_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o be_v that_o when_o he_o have_v receive_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o

cause_n to_o repose_v ourselves_o on_o he_o for_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o if_o for_o our_o sake_n he_o continue_v his_o favour_n towards_o they_o that_o succeed_v we_o by_o a_o more_o strong_a reason_n we_o shall_v always_o find_v he_o a_o merciful_a father_n aught_v we_o then_o to_o mistrust_v he_o and_o his_o goodness_n see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o favourable_a as_o to_o have_v a_o care_n over_o they_o also_o that_o come_v of_o we_o now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n curse_v the_o race_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o how_o for_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o guide_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o all_o must_v go_v to_o naught_o and_o herein_o we_o have_v none_o occasion_n to_o murmur_v and_o grudge_v against_o god_n as_o there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v think_v it_o very_o strange_a what_o lie_v they_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v punish_v the_o child_n for_o the_o father_n sake_n be_v it_o not_o say_v that_o he_o that_o sin_v shall_v bear_v his_o own_o iniquity_n and_o that_o the_o son_n shall_v not_o be_v punish_v for_o the_o father_n sake_n yes_o true_o and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o son_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v as_o though_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o that_o god_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o punishment_n be_v due_a unto_o his_o father_n cause_v it_o to_o fall_v upon_o he_o who_o be_v innocent_a and_o guiltless_a for_o that_o can_v not_o happen_v but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v requite_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o son_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o do_v they_o any_o wrong_n but_o it_o be_v for_o that_o he_o leave_v the_o wicked_a there_o now_o when_o we_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n what_o can_v we_o do_v but_o mischief_n thus_o we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n show_v not_o such_o favour_n to_o the_o wicked_a as_o too_o give_v they_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o the_o devil_n must_v needs_o reign_v over_o they_o and_o stir_v they_o up_o too_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n more_o and_o more_o and_o too_o hasten_v their_o own_o destruction_n the_o child_n than_o be_v wrap_v up_o together_o with_o their_o father_n for_o when_o a_o house_n be_v curse_v of_o god_n the_o same_o be_v in_o the_o possession_n and_o thraldom_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n rule_v not_o there_o therefore_o the_o child_n be_v so_o punish_v for_o their_o father_n as_o it_o be_v a_o just_a judgement_n upon_o themselves_o also_o they_o can_v not_o say_v we_o be_v guiltless_a for_o they_o be_v find_v faulty_a before_o god_n as_o well_o as_o their_o father_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n when_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a continue_v follow_v the_o step_n of_o their_o father_n than_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n appear_v so_o that_o man_n have_v not_o wherefore_o to_o glory_v in_o themselves_o the_o child_n will_v not_o say_v this_o heritage_n appertain_v unto_o we_o god_n cause_v we_o too_o prosper_v because_o our_o father_n be_v worthy_a to_o have_v such_o a_o succession_n no_o but_o the_o whole_a must_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o only_a free_a goodness_n of_o god_n who_o work_v be_v not_o bind_v unto_o man_n neither_o owe_v they_o any_o thing_n but_o because_o it_o so_o please_v he_o this_o be_v it_o they_o that_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o although_o god_n punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a at_o the_o first_o yet_o he_o will_v address_v himself_o to_o their_o child_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o will_v reserve_v punishment_n for_o they_o and_o this_o be_v to_o prosecute_v this_o matter_n that_o we_o must_v not_o give_v judgement_n upon_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n by_o that_o which_o may_v be_v see_v in_o this_o world_n but_o must_v quiet_v our_o mind_n and_o stay_v our_o judgement_n until_o god_n show_v that_o his_o time_n be_v come_v it_o become_v not_o we_o then_o to_o appoint_v the_o time_n man_n be_v froward_a when_o they_o make_v such_o haste_n but_o you_o see_v that_o god_n have_v a_o peculiar_a fashion_n in_o his_o do_n which_o be_v sometime_o strange_a unto_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o humble_v our_o mind_n and_o say_v lord_n we_o will_v like_v well_o of_o it_o what_o so_o ever_o thou_o shall_v do_v although_o it_o be_v not_o agree_v to_o our_o fantasy_n this_o be_v it_o then_o that_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o this_o word_n to_o hide_v or_o reserve_v when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n reserve_v for_o the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a the_o punishment_n that_o he_o have_v execute_v upon_o their_o father_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o all_o man_n head_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o common_a doctrine_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o we_o must_v hereunto_o apply_v our_o whole_a study_n for_o man_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v so_o hasty_a and_o impatient_a that_o they_o will_v have_v god_n too_o set_v before_o their_o eye_n what_o he_o mind_v to_o do_v neither_o can_v we_o give_v place_n to_o his_o providence_n except_o he_o make_v his_o hand_n very_o manifest_a and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n upon_o what_o

yet_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o judge_v not_o of_o thing_n unknown_a for_o so_o may_v we_o be_v reprove_v of_o rashness_n but_o when_o shall_v we_o see_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o open_v our_o eye_n and_o too_o
if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n choose_v to_o preach_v god_n word_n and_o god_n be_v mind_v to_o show_v favour_n to_o his_o church_n he_o will_v endue_v the_o say_a man_n with_o his_o spirit_n he_o will_v

that_o we_o must_v bethink_v ourselves_o and_o not_o suffer_v god_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v bury_v but_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o which_o god_n himself_o have_v print_v in_o all_o man_n

that_o when_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o man_n they_o can_v appease_v he_o by_o the_o mean_a aforesaid_a therefore_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o set_v down_o this_o rule_n first_o of_o all_o namely_o that_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n be_v spiritual_a we_o must_v mount_n far_o high_a than_o these_o visible_a shape_n for_o they_o must_v lead_v we_o to_o a_o heavenly_a end_n and_o not_o hold_v we_o down_o here_o in_o the_o world_n without_o lift_v up_o of_o our_o mind_n unto_o heaven_n you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o faithful_a have_v always_o their_o eye_n upon_o god_n when_o they_o make_v

that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v know_v which_o be_v the_o god_n who_o we_o shall_v worship_v and_o we_o must_v understand_v how_o and_o in_o what_o wise_a it_o become_v we_o to_o press_v unto_o

that_o we_o see_v they_o know_v not_o whereunto_o they_o shape_v themselves_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o go_v to_o kneel_v down_o before_o a_o puppet_n of_o wood_n or_o stone_n whereby_o they_o

have_v store_n of_o apish_a toy_n but_o they_o turn_v all_o upside_o down_o because_o they_o regard_v not_o what_o god_n have_v command_v but_o rather_o follow_v their_o own_o invention_n bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o have_v do_v much_o when_o they_o have_v patch_v a_o great_a sort_n of_o rag_n together_o but_o they_o labour_v in_o vain_a for_o asmuch_o as_o they_o hold_v not_o themselves_o under_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n behold_v wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o they_o which_o know_v not_o how_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n who_o we_o ought_v to_o worship_n and_o unto_o who_o we_o must_v come_v by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o according_a to_o his_o word_n when_o we_o know_v this_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o we_o offer_v unto_o god_n be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o take_v they_o in_o good_a worth_n but_o we_o observe_v also_o that_o

be_v that_o we_o have_v not_o any_o idol_n in_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v none_o of_o all_o the_o fine_a mask_a knack_n that_o be_v in_o the_o papacy_n wherewith_o the_o service_n of_o

their_o cap_n or_o make_v curtsy_n behold_v how_o they_o discharge_v themselves_o afore_o god_n for_o so_o they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n regard_v not_o the_o lowliness_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o namely_o that_o when_o we_o press_v unto_o god_n it_o become_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o guilty_a before_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o

they_o may_v be_v holy_a unto_o himward_n they_o pass_v not_o a_o whit_n for_o all_o this_o gear_n they_o have_v good_a store_n of_o outward_a ceremony_n yea_o very_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v all_o this_o be_v nothing_o now_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n &_o faith_n will_v be_v a_o good_a guide_n thereunto_o when_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n fasten_v

that_o we_o shall_v give_v he_o thanks_n for_o his_o benefit_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v enforce_v ourselves_o to_o be_v holy_a both_o in_o body_n &_o soul_n even_o so_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o

of_o all_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o our_o wicked_a affection_n which_o serve_v to_o turn_v we_o aside_o from_o god_n then_o afterward_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o lewd_a

can_v be_v yea_o &_o with_o very_o bitter_a one_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v torment_v inward_o because_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v his_o mortal_a enemy_n certess_n he_o say_v that_o

too_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n too_o make_v they_o the_o more_o esteem_v and_o too_o bring_v forth_o the_o more_o fruit_n as_o for_o example_n look_v upon_o abraham_n who_o be_v govern_v

even_o of_o wonderment_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o how_o do_v god_n turmoil_n he_o we_o see_v what_o complaint_n he_o make_v not_o only_o as_o a_o despise_v and_o off_o shake_v person_n but_o also_o say_v that_o god_n hold_v he_o here_o on_o earth_n as_o upon_o a_o rack_n so_o as_o he_o be_v force_v too_o show_v the_o extremity_n that_o he_o be_v come_v unto_o for_o it_o be_v not_o

they_o lively_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o those_o virtue_n shall_v not_o be_v idle_a but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v know_v in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o chief_a temptation_n that_o ever_o the_o faithful_a endure_v be_v these_o spiritual_a battle_n as_o we_o term_v they_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o god_n summon_v they_o in_o

pludge_v they_o in_o deep_a distress_n than_o all_o the_o bodily_a adversity_n that_o can_v befall_v they_o and_o here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o job_n use_v this_o similitude_n that_o god_n grate_v his_o tooth_n at_o he_o also_o we_o see_v how_o ezechias_n speak_v because_o he_o have_v pass_v through_o the_o same_o temptation_n god_n say_v he_o have_v play_v the_o lion_n with_o i_o likewise_o he_o have_v use_v the_o same_o similitude_n afore_o which_o he_o use_v here_o namely_o that_o he_o wist_v not_o whither_o he_o may_v speak_v or_o hold_v his_o peace_n for_o i_o be_o say_v he_o like_o a_o swallow_n i_o chatter_v and_o chirp_v but_o i_o want_v word_n to_o utter_v the_o grief_n of_o my_o misery_n i_o have_v no_o tongue_n to_o deliver_v it_o and_o hereupon_o he_o come_v afterward_o to_o show_v that_o god_n have_v crassh_v and_o break_v his_o bone_n as_o a_o lion_n that_o hold_v he_o in_o his_o paw_n and_o tooth_n but_o how_o can_v god_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n which_o be_v so_o cruel_a a_o beast_n no_o ezechias_n ment_fw-la not_o to_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o feel_n and_o of_o the_o terrible_a pain_n that_o he_o endure_v when_o god_n wrath_n be_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o a_o poor_a creature_n enter_v into_o doubt_v in_o what_o case_n he_o be_v with_o god_n and_o perceive_v not_o that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o so_o great_a distress_n and_o so_o afflight_v as_o if_o he_o be_v between_o a_o wolf_n paw_n we_o must_v not_o imagine_v

when_o his_o gospel_n be_v publish_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o encumbrance_n yea_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o pass_v further_o and_o to_o surmount_v they_o all_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n see_v that_o god_n love_n be_v print_v in_o our_o

so_o than_o you_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n be_v always_o in_o doubt_n yea_o and_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v in_o doubt_n be_v mean_n whereof_o they_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o the_o privilege_n of_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o be_v herd_n at_o his_o hand_n that_o they_o be_v rather_o continual_o beat_v back_o for_o as_o saint_n james_n say_v if_o a_o man_n come_v doubt_v too_o require_v any_o

say_v afore_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o the_o reason_n also_o be_v set_v down_o here_o namely_o because_o they_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o and_o consider_v not_o all_o his_o way_n over_o and_o beside_o that_o we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o god_n strike_v not_o man_n wrongful_o but_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n here_o it_o be_v show_v we_o what_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o

that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o man_n destruction_n so_o have_v we_o a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n in_o this_o text_n to_o show_v we_o how_o we_o may_v keep_v ourselves_o from_o go_v into_o

but_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o eliu_n speak_v not_o of_o such_o as_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o law_n and_o have_v have_v the_o prophet_n and_o be_v teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n

it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v withdraw_v from_o god_n and_o why_o for_o although_o he_o be_v not_o so_o near_o unto_o they_o as_o unto_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v give_v his_o law_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v hold_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o create_v we_o after_o his_o own_o image_n we_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n aught_o to_o tend_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o make_v he_o our_o mark_n to_o am_z at_o therefore_o when_o we_o run_v astray_o and_o give_v our_o lust_n to_o

confound_v nowadays_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o return_v thither_o as_o god_n call_v we_o which_o be_v that_o his_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v hear_v and_o take_v place_n amongst_o we_o so_o as_o all_o

while_o these_o silly_a lamb_n must_v be_v accuze_v as_o though_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o evil_a sith_o we_o see_v this_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o strengthen_v &_o encourage_v

his_o hand_n that_o work_v it_o yea_o even_o after_o a_o marvellous_a fashion_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o too_o be_v blind_a in_o such_o diversity_n of_o thing_n as_o god_n set_v afore_o we_o but_o whensoever_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n and_o so_o many_o thing_n come_v to_o our_o sight_n so_o as_o one_o man_n have_v this_o shape_n &_o another_o have_v another_o clean_a

there_o be_v yet_o another_o point_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o eagle_n gather_v together_o to_o the_o place_n where_o carrion_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o sith_o the_o bird_n

more_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v resort_v to_o the_o place_n where_o god_n show_v we_o that_o our_o life_n be_v and_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o bird_n resort_v together_o for_o

offer_v we_o and_o have_v not_o the_o wit_n to_o resort_v to_o the_o place_n where_o our_o life_n be_v shall_v there_o need_v any_o other_o witness_n against_o we_o than_o the_o eagle_n according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n set_v forth_o the_o same_o similitude_n unto_o we_o for_o after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o great_a trouble_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o say_v that_o wheresoever_o the_o dead_a carcase_n be_v thither_o will_v the_o eagle_n resort_n according_a whereunto_o we_o of_o the_o country_n may_v say_v the_o like_a of_o raven_n you_o see_v then_o that_o these_o poor_a bird_n have_v a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o seek_v their_o meat_n and_o pray_v and_o where_o shall_v we_o on_o our_o side_n find_v our_o life_n shall_v we_o be_v so_o witless_a when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v &_o allure_v we_o unto_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o when_o we_o be_v come_v thither_o we_o shall_v find_v all_o that_o we_o want_v and_o be_v

we_o think_v upon_o it_o for_o see_v we_o have_v such_o assurance_n must_v not_o the_o eagle_n bear_v witness_n against_o we_o at_o the_o great_a day_n if_o we_o be_v reckless_a now_o but_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o i_o touch_v at_o the_o beginning_n according_a also_o as_o god_n conclude_v with_o the_o same_o namely_o be_v it_o learning_n to_o contend_v with_o the_o almighty_a let_v he_o that_o correct_v god_n answer_v to_o it_o this_o then_o serve_v to_o show_v we_o too_o what_o purpose_n so_o many_o thing_n have_v be_v discourse_v for_o a_o man_n may_v think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n intend_v to_o maintain_v his_o righteousness_n and_o to_o stop_v man_n mouth_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o carp_v against_o he_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o star_n of_o the_o till_v of_o the_o ground_n and_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o sail_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o nature_n of_o beast_n too_o what_o purpose_n be_v all_o this_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o god_n seek_v rove_a reason_n yea_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v the_o point_n that_o i_o touch_v we_o shall_v find_v it_o much_o more_o available_a for_o we_o that_o he_o maintain_v his_o righteousness_n after_o that_o manner_n than_o if_o he_o have_v dispute_v of_o it_o without_o set_v his_o creature_n afore_o we_o and_o why_o for_o we_o must_v come_v back_o to_o this_o conclusion_n that_o although_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o with_o our_o babble_n yet_o shall_v we_o win_v nothing_o by_o it_o for_o we_o can_v not_o cry_v so_o loud_a as_o too_o beat_v his_o ear_n with_o it_o he_o can_v set_v many_o stop_n in_o our_o way_n look_v how_o many_o creature_n there_o be_v in_o heaven_n on_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n all_o of_o they_o shall_v rise_v up_o and_o bend_v themselves_o against_o we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a too_o come_v nigh_o god_n now_o we_o see_v that_o this_o manner_n of_o deal_n which_o god_n use_v to_o daunt_v job_n and_o in_o his_o person_n all_o such_o as_o be_v impatient_a or_o which_o will_v needs_o advance_v themselves_o too_o high_a be_v as_o fit_a as_o may_v
from_o murmur_v against_o god_n though_o it_o be_v but_o even_o within_o our_o tooth_n i_o pray_v you_o do_v we_o not_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o handle_v we_o after_o that_o manner_n we_o will_v not_o with_o open_a mouth_n say_v that_o god_n be_v cruel_a and_o unjust_a no_o true_o we_o will_v not_o say_v so_o but_o yet_o do_v we_o tend_v to_o that_o end_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v a_o lesson_n that_o belong_v to_o all_o man_n namely_o that_o if_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o reprove_v god_n or_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o we_o must_v answer_v to_o all_o his_o work_n but_o now_o let_v we_o apply_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o let_v every_o of_o we_o do_v what_o he_o can_v and_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v debate_v upon_o all_o the_o thing_n afore_o rehearse_v i_o pray_v you_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o answer_v they_o and_o to_o reply_v unto_o god_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v do_v &_o dispose_v in_o the_o nature_n and_o creation_n of_o thing_n no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v store_n enough_o of_o folly_n in_o ourselves_o according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o man_n overshoot_v themselves_o and_o the_o devil_n also_o blind_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o stick_v not_o at_o all_o to_o carp_v at_o their_o maker_n but_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o pith_n can_v we_o say_v i_o gainsay_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v settle_v can_v we_o deny_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n can_v we_o abolish_v his_o power_n which_o show_v itself_o can_v we_o say_v that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v &_o dispose_v all_o thing_n with_o wisdom_n again_o can_v we_o displace_v his_o justice_n which_o appear_v too_o we_o match_v with_o his_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n can_v we_o bring_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n too_o pass_v no_o it_o be_v impossible_a now_o then_o must_v not_o man_n needs_o be_v blockish_a when_o they_o will_v advance_v themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n against_o their_o maker_n but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o this_o doctrine_n we_o must_v begin_v at_o this_o end_n namely_o to_o feel_v how_o weak_a we_o be_v to_o answer_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n will_v put_v to_o we_o see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o furnish_v ourselves_o for_o it_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

requisite_a for_o we_o which_o have_v a_o more_o large_a declaration_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n towards_o we_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o our_o life_n and_o too_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o die_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v go_v hence_o with_o a_o glad_a heart_n &_o not_o with_o gnash_v of_o our_o tooth_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n yet_o will_v they_o fain_o tarry_v here_o beneath_o still_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o hope_v but_o of_o this_o present_a life_n &_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o death_n dispatch_v all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v never_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n contrariwise_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n be_v wont_a to_o confirm_v their_o faith_n by_o the_o length_n of_o the_o life_n which_o god_n give_v they_o and_o therewithal_o dispose_v themselves_o to_o depart_v whensoever_o god_n list_v to_o take_v they_o hence_o too_o himself_o and_o what_o ought_v we_o on_o our_o side_n to_o do_v nowadays_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o live_v long_o to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o mercy_n and_o to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n for_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v die_v and_o be_v rise_v again_o we_o need_v no_o long_a time_n in_o this_o world_n to_o know_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n and_o that_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o as_o soon_o he_o give_v we_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o gospel_n let_v we_o always_o be_v ready_a too_o die_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o our_o father_n both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v always_o be_v satisfy_v with_o life_n see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o so_o good_a a_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v not_o desire_v too_o have_v our_o life_n prolong_v here_o to_o the_o end_n to_o have_v a_o large_a confirmation_n thereof_o wherefore_o let_v we_o continual_o pray_v he_o that_o have_v guide_v we_o continual_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o will_v draw_v we_o hence_o too_o himself_o and_o that_o we_o may_v come_v thither_o full_o satisfy_v because_o he_o have_v nourish_v and_o maintain_v we_o

too_o discharge_v ourselves_o of_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n it_o may_v please_v he_o too_o aid_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o too_o bear_v with_o our_o infirmity_n and_o
