when_o we_o come_v before_o god_n therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v bring_v low_a and_o to_o be_v warn_v as_o the_o scripture_n do_v it_o that_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o to_o comprehend_v

as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v come_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o saviour_n have_v give_v we_o of_o his_o own_o spirit_n whereby_o we_o know_v and_o comprehend_v that_o which_o be_v above_o all_o our_o capacity_n then_o although_o we_o be_v not_o of_o counsel_n with_o god_n yet_o have_v he_o show_v we_o the_o favour_n and_o honour_n to_o disclose_v unto_o we_o that_o which_o be_v unknown_a and_o hide_a from_o we_o how_o be_v that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o know_v

with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o must_v take_v away_o the_o kerchief_n where_o with_o satan_n have_v blindfold_a we_o and_o he_o must_v open_v our_o eye_n see_v then_o that_o it_o lie_v in_o he_o

when_o a_o young_a man_n have_v behave_v himself_o so_o modest_o he_o must_v in_o time_n convenient_a viter_fw-la the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o yea_o even_o though_o it_o be_v among_o

to_o ehe_fw-ge shame_n of_o those_o that_o have_v live_v long_o and_o misspend_v the_o time_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o or_o rather_o utter_o lose_v it_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mean_v which_o we_o have_v to_o hold_v be_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o young_a folk_n bear_v to_o their_o elder_n must_v not_o hinder_v the_o continual_a maintenance_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v honour_v &_o vice_n suppress_v for_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o elder_a sort_n shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o god_n spirit_n or_o else_o lewd_a person_n that_o shall_v have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o craft_n and_o unfaithfulness_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v be_v wilful_a and_o brainless_a now_o in_o such_o caces_fw-la ought_v young_a folk_n to_o be_v hold_v so_o under_o the_o yoke_n that_o they_o shall_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o elder_n be_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a no._n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o this_o modesty_n import_v not_o that_o young_a man_n shall_v become_v sheepishe_a to_o discern_v and_o know_v nothing_o but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o they_o presume_v not_o of_o themselves_o to_o skirmish_n and_o cast_v their_o froth_n before_o their_o time_n let_v they_o hearken_v let_v they_o be_v teachable_a let_v they_o be_v always_o willing_a to_o keep_v silence_n when_o any_o good_a matter_n be_v in_o debate_v and_o special_o let_v they_o beware_v of_o step_v into_o other_o man_n place_n that_o be_v do_v if_o they_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 religion_n what_o then_o can_v such_o age_a man_n bring_v but_o only_o a_o great_a wilfulness_n for_o they_o have_v be_v so_o sape_v in_o their_o error_n and_o so_o whole_o give_v unto_o they_o as_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 long_o but_o also_o if_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v bring_v against_o we_o yet_o ought_v not_o antiquity_n too_o prejudice_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v rightful_a and_o necessary_a as_o how_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o if_o all_o the_o old_a man_n in_o the_o popedom_n have_v conspire_v against_o the_o gospel_n and_o will_v have_v other_o man_n to_o stand_v to_o their_o accustom_a

although_o that_o the_o old_a man_n set_v themselves_o against_o they_o and_o will_v have_v all_o other_o man_n to_o hold_v themselves_o to_o their_o custom_n because_o they_o have_v maintain_v the_o

we_o see_v now_o that_o to_o be_v modest_a it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o be_v blind_a buzzard_n but_o to_o keep_v a_o mean_a and_o measure_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o eliu_n mean_v by_o add_v i_o

when_o man_n choose_v governor_n in_o a_o city_n or_o in_o a_o country_n if_o they_o shall_v take_v young_a light_n head_v and_o brainless_a fool_n which_o have_v no_o skill_n to_o govern_v their_o

it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v the_o same_o order_n in_o estimation_n nevertheless_o there_o must_v no_o general_a rule_n be_v make_v of_o it_o for_o oftentimes_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_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 he_o will_v not_o speak_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o think_v and_o conceive_v in_o himself_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o thereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v after_o what_o sort_n he_o ought_v too_o be_v dispose_v which_o bear_v about_o the_o word_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o he_o must_v not_o have_v store_n of_o bibblebabble_n at_o his_o tongue_n end_n

which_o be_v print_v in_o his_o heart_n unto_o those_o over_o who_o god_n have_v give_v he_o charge_n so_o then_o will_v we_o serve_v god_n pure_o in_o our_o office_n it_o behove_v we_o first_o and_o for_o most_o too_o bridle_v our_o tongue_n that_o they_o speak_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v print_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o sure_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v by_o david_n

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

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

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

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

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

wherefore_o our_o eye_n be_v make_v be_v it_o not_o only_o to_o behold_v the_o thing_n that_o may_v serve_v for_o this_o life_n and_o to_o lust_n after_o they_o because_o our_o flesh_n like_v well_o of_o they_o no_o but_o the_o chief_a cause_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v behold_v god_n work_n whereby_o he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o and_o wherefore_o be_v our_o ear_n make_v only_o to_o have_v

to_o instruct_v they_o to_o salvation_n so_o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o he_o will_v bring_v we_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o when_o he_o have_v once_o
