he_o be_v qualify_v like_o a_o gentleman_n be_v this_o to_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n first_o or_o last_o or_o not_o at_o all_o woe_n to_o the_o security_n woe_n to_o the_o stubbornness_n woe_n to_o the_o drowsiness_n of_o this_o age_n the_o thief_n come_v at_o midnight_n and_o we_o sleep_v till_o the_o dawn_n of_o the_o day_n we_o let_v in_o sathan_n before_o we_o bid_v he_o avoid_v

may_v have_v know_v a_o thousand_o thing_n more_o than_o you_o do_v if_o you_o have_v begin_v when_o solomon_n teach_v you_o god_n will_v not_o always_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n christ_n will_v not_o

now_o we_o have_v a_o prophet_n shall_v say_v we_o have_v a_o prophet_n but_o we_o entertain_v he_o like_o the_o gergesite_n so_o god_n send_v he_o away_o from_o we_o like_o jonah_n to_o the_o

time_n be_v only_o thou_o and_o thou_o may_v repent_v in_o that_o but_o anon_o that_o will_v be_v go_v too_o therefore_o as_o samuel_n begin_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o minority_n as_o timothy_n read_v the_o scripture_n in_o his_o childhood_n and_o john_n grow_v in_o spirit_n as_o he_o rypen_v in_o year_n so_o whether_o thou_o be_v old_a or_o young_a thy_o repentance_n can_v come_v too_o

age_n come_v upon_o youth_n death_n come_v upon_o age_n with_o such_o a_o swift_a sail_n that_o if_o all_o our_o minute_n be_v spend_v in_o mortify_v ourselves_o yet_o our_o glass_n will_v be_v run_v

this_o cloak_n of_o shem_n and_o japhet_n and_o not_o only_o they_o but_o other_o too_o for_o if_o any_o speak_v of_o corruption_n in_o ruler_n or_o bribery_n in_o judge_n or_o simony_n in_o bishop_n or_o nonresidencie_a in_o pastor_n he_o be_v say_v to_o discover_v his_o father_n nakedness_n like_o cham_n but_o as_o we_o may_v not_o reveal_v all_o sin_n lest_o the_o uncircumcised_a rejoice_n so_o we_o may_v not_o cover_v some_o sin_n lest_o the_o uncircumcised_a increase_n for_o if_o some_o man_n drunkenness_n be_v not_o reproove_v they_o will_v be_v drunken_a still_o and_o make_v a_o common_a weal_n of_o drunkard_n therefore_o they_o which_o will_v be_v convert_v first_o let_v they_o prove_v themselves_o father_n as_o noah_n be_v and_o after_o let_v they_o amend_v as_o noah_n do_v and_o they_o which_o cover_v they_o let_v they_o distinguish_v between_o noah_n and_o cham_n and_o between_o error_n and_o obstinacy_n for_o some_o christ_n appoint_v admonition_n for_o other_o reprehension_n for_o other_o excommunication_n and_o for_o other_o correction_n therefore_o every_o man_n nakedness_n must_v not_o be_v cover_v as_o noah_n be_v we_o will_v cover_v the_o first_o drunkenness_n as_o shem_n and_o japhet_n do_v if_o they_o will_v repent_v as_o noah_n do_v and_o be_v drunken_a no_o more_o but_o shall_v we_o follow_v they_o like_o a_o blind_a man_n boy_n to_o stay_v they_o so_o often_o as_o they_o fall_v when_o they_o say_v that_o they_o stumble_v not_o though_o they_o lie_v on_o the_o ground_n this_o be_v not_o the_o cloak_n of_o reverence_n but_o the_o cloak_n of_o flattery_n therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v let_v the_o dead_a bury_v the_o dead_a so_o i_o may_v say_v let_v the_o wicked_a cover_n the_o wicked_a the_o wolf_n be_v not_o the_o lamb_n father_n but_o the_o lamb_n butcher_n therefore_o if_o they_o will_v be_v cover_v let_v they_o speak_v to_o their_o child_n to_o cover_v they_o for_o this_o be_v our_o rule_n they_o which_o sin_n open_o reproove_v open_o that_o the_o rest_n may_v fear_v 1._o tim._n 5._o 20._o thus_o you_o have_v hear_v what_o the_o bad_a son_n do_v and_o what_o the_o good_a son_n do_v now_o we_o come_v to_o noah_n again_o then_o noah_n awoake_n and_o know_v what_o his_o young_a son_n have_v do_v unto_o he_o and_o say_v unto_o he_o curse_v be_v canaan_n a_o servant_n of_o servant_n shall_v he_o be_v unto_o his_o brethren_n he_o say_v moreover_o bless_a be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o shem_n and_o let_v canaan_n be_v his_o servant_n etc._n etc._n first_o he_o show_v how_o noah_n come_v to_o himself_o then_o how_o he_o know_v what_o his_o son_n have_v do_v unto_o he_o then_o how_o he_o curse_v one_o and_o bless_v another_o as_o his_o son_n be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o nakedness_n when_o he_o be_v drunken_a so_o now_o he_o be_v sober_a he_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o himself_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o awake_v from_o his_o wine_n as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o sleep_n for_o the_o drunkard_n say_v solomon_n be_v as_o one_o that_o sleep_v proverb_n 23._o 34._o when_o the_o belly_n be_v full_a the_o bone_n be_v at_o rest_n so_o when_o noah_n be_v full_a his_o thought_n be_v at_o rest_n therefore_o be_v as_o it_o be_v lull_v a_o sheep_n with_o overmuch_o wine_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o awake_v here_o moses_n will_v exhort_v all_o they_o that_o sleep_n with_o noah_n to_o awake_v with_o noah_n noah_n be_v once_o intemperate_a and_o many_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o noah_n be_v but_o once_o intemperate_a and_o few_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o david_n be_v once_o incontinent_a and_o many_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o david_n be_v but_o once_o incontinent_a and_o few_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o peter_n be_v once_o unfaithful_a and_o many_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o peter_n be_v but_o once_o unfaithful_a and_o few_o follow_v he_o in_o that_o this_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o wicked_a both_o fall_n and_o but_o one_o rise_v again_o it_o follow_v he_o know_v what_o his_o young_a son_n have_v do_v unto_o he_o either_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o suggest_v he_o or_o else_o by_o some_o other_o that_o tell_v he_o for_o a_o drunken_a man_n do_v not_o remember_v what_o be_v say_v or_o do_v and_o therefore_o the_o drunkard_n say_v i_o be_v beat_v but_o when_o i_o awake_v i_o know_v it_o not_o pro._n 23._o 35._o therefore_o when_o lot_n be_v drunken_a his_o daughter_n lie_v with_o he_o and_o it_o be_v say_v gen._n 19_o 33._o that_o he_o perceive_v not_o when_o they_o lie_v down_o nor_o when_o they_o rise_v up_o therefore_o noah_n know_v either_o by_o the_o spirit_n which_o inform_v he_o or_o by_o other_o which_o tell_v he_o now_o as_o moses_n declare_v cham_n sin_n call_v he_o the_o father_n of_o canaan_n so_o noah_n repeat_v his_o sin_n again_o call_v he_o his_o young_a son_n he_o disdain_v to_o name_v he_o but_o call_v he_o a_o young_a son_n to_o aggravate_v his_o fault_n because_o we_o will_v suffer_v our_o elder_a son_n to_o be_v more_o familiar_a with_o we_o but_o of_o the_o young_a we_o look_v for_o more_o reverence_n or_o else_o because_o parent_n be_v wont_v to_o make_v more_o of_o the_o young_a and_o dandle_v they_o as_o jacob_n do_v benjamin_n and_o so_o he_o may_v say_v my_o young_a son_n which_o for_o his_o year_n shall_v have_v show_v i_o most_o duty_n and_o for_o my_o affection_n shall_v have_v bear_v i_o most_o love_n my_o young_a son_n have_v seek_v my_o dishonour_n and_o not_o content_a to_o scorn_v i_o himself_o have_v publish_v my_o shame_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lay_v provoke_v his_o brethren_n to_o scorn_v i_o too_o of_o who_o be_v a_o man_n so_o often_o deceive_v as_o of_o his_o near_a friend_n light_o the_o young_a son_n be_v better_a than_o the_o elder_a as_o joseph_n be_v better_a than_o his_o elder_a brethren_n david_n be_v better_a than_o his_o elder_a brethren_n abel_n be_v better_a than_o his_o elder_a brother_n isaac_n be_v better_a than_o his_o elder_a brother_n jacob_n be_v better_a than_o his_o elder_a brother_n but_o here_o the_o young_a be_v worst_a so_o neither_o virtue_n nor_o vice_n go_v by_o age_n now_o as_o christ_n when_o he_o awake_v rebuke_v the_o wind_n and_o comfort_v his_o disciple_n so_o noah_n when_o he_o awake_v curse_a the_o scorner_n and_o bless_v the_o other_o moses_n do_v not_o set_v down_o his_o word_n of_o choler_n but_o bring_v he_o in_o speak_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n what_o shall_v come_v upon_o all_o his_o son_n it_o be_v like_o that_o the_o good_a patriarch_n have_v bewail_v his_o own_o sin_n before_o and_o now_o have_v repent_v and_o get_v pardon_n for_o it_o he_o come_v forth_o like_o a_o proclaimer_n of_o god_n judgement_n and_o thunder_v against_o this_o mocker_n what_o a_o grief_n be_v this_o to_o the_o father_n to_o be_v constrain_v to_o condemn_v his_o own_o son_n and_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o pronounce_v he_o banish_v from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o though_o cham_n have_v not_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o son_n yet_o noah_n have_v not_o lose_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o father_n and_o he_o see_v what_o a_o small_a number_n be_v leave_v upon_o earth_n like_o adam_n child_n for_o to_o replenish_v the_o whole_a world_n again_o therefore_o it_o grieve_v he_o to_o curse_v his_o son_n as_o much_o as_o it_o rejoice_v his_o son_n to_o scorn_v he_o yet_o as_o abraham_n will_v sacrifice_v his_o son_n rather_o than_o displease_v god_n so_o noah_n do_v curse_v his_o son_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v displease_v god_n show_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o spare_v our_o own_o bowel_n when_o god_n will_v have_v they_o punish_v but_o do_v as_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n of_o idolater_n and_o blasphemer_n do_v in_o the_o law_n 13._o who_o bring_v the_o first_o stone_n to_o press_v their_o son_n to_o death_n show_v that_o as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n die_v for_o they_o so_o their_o son_n shall_v die_v for_o god_n if_o they_o will_v not_o

which_o shall_v rule_v therefore_o as_o you_o see_v sin_n bring_v in_o the_o first_o nakedness_n so_o you_o see_v sin_n bring_v in_o the_o first_o servant_n a_o servant_n of_o servant_n shall_v he_o
