god_n have_v give_v unto_o man_n a_o measure_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o have_v temper_v their_o gift_n with_o many_o other_o defect_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v that_o they_o be_v both_o indebt_v to_o god_n for_o that_o which_o they_o have_v and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o his_o daily_a favour_n for_o supply_v of_o that_o which_o they_o want_v and_o consequent_o this_o different_a dispose_n of_o god_n gift_n may_v teach_v we_o both_o to_o think_v humble_o of_o ourselves_o and_o thankful_o of_o god_n 3_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o god_n will_v give_v man_n occasion_n of_o mutual_a love_n &_o charity_n each_o to_o other_o for_o if_o one_o man_n have_v all_o thing_n he_o will_v neither_o have_v need_n to_o receive_v help_n from_o other_o not_o care_n to_o do_v good_a unto_o they_o of_o who_o he_o have_v no_o need_n but_o now_o that_o one_o man_n have_v one_o ability_n and_o another_o man_n another_o ability_n and_o no_o man_n have_v all_o nor_o any_o man_n nothing_o man_n be_v hereby_o make_v fit_a both_o to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o to_o receive_v good_a from_o they_o back_o again_o this_o the_o apostle_n observe_v in_o the_o part_n of_o man_n body_n that_o the_o eye_n can_v say_v to_o the_o hand_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o thou_o nor_o the_o head_n to_o the_o foot_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o you_o but_o that_o god_n have_v so_o temper_v the_o body_n together_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v noschisme_n in_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o member_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o care_n one_o for_o another_o 1._o cor._n 12.21_o 24_o 25._o and_o so_o we_o see_v it_o be_v for_o the_o eye_n see_v not_o for_o itself_o only_o but_o for_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o the_o ear_n hear_v not_o for_o itself_o but_o for_o all_o the_o other_o member_n and_o so_o the_o stomach_n do_v concoct_v meat_n and_o the_o liver_n make_v blood_n and_o the_o heart_n engender_v spirit_n and_o the_o foot_n move_v themselves_o and_o each_o one_o do_v his_o proper_a office_n not_o for_o his_o own_o use_n but_o for_o the_o use_n of_o all_o the_o other_o part_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v every_o one_o enjoy_v all_o the_o perfection_n that_o all_o the_o rest_n have_v and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o civil_a body_n the_o king_n enact_v law_n constitute_v judge_n muster_v soldier_n it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o own_o safety_n only_o but_o for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o whole_a realm_n without_o who_o welfare_n he_o can_v not_o long_o enjoy_v his_o crown_n and_o so_o the_o preacher_n study_v the_o scripture_n not_o only_o to_o inform_v himself_o but_o to_o instruct_v other_o and_o the_o counsellor_n study_v the_o law_n not_o only_o that_o he_o may_v plead_v for_o himself_o but_o more_o especial_o for_o his_o client_n and_o the_o shoemaker_n make_v shoe_n &_o the_o tailorgarment_n and_o each_o artificer_n the_o work_n of_o his_o call_n that_o when_o they_o have_v do_v their_o work_n they_o may_v disperse_v their_o own_o commodity_n abroad_o and_o by_o the_o sale_n of_o they_o supply_v themselves_o with_o the_o commodity_n of_o other_o trade_n wherein_o they_o have_v no_o skill_n and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n and_o much_o wisdom_n to_o be_v see_v in_o this_o variety_n and_o difference_n of_o god_n gift_n it_o remain_v now_o only_o that_o we_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o it_o and_o it_o may_v serve_v we_o for_o two_o use_n 1_o we_o may_v learn_v contentation_n with_o our_o own_o place_n and_o gift_n and_o 2_o we_o shall_v set_v a_o due_a valuation_n of_o the_o gift_n bestow_v on_o other_o man_n without_o grudge_v or_o repine_v use_v 1_o i._n we_o shall_v hence_o learn_v to_o be_v content_v with_o that_o place_n in_o which_o god_n have_v set_v we_o &_o with_o those_o gift_n which_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o for_o if_o god_n have_v dispose_v his_o gift_n in_o different_a manner_n for_o such_o good_a and_o important_a reason_n and_o more_o especial_o in_o such_o provident_a sort_n as_o be_v most_o for_o our_o own_o advantage_n then_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o let_v god_n alone_o with_o his_o own_o both_o wise_a and_o gracious_a deal_n this_o lesson_n be_v most_o applicable_a to_o murmurer_n and_o impatient_a people_n such_o as_o be_v discontent_v with_o their_o own_o lot_n &_o grumble_v at_o the_o welfare_n of_o other_o such_o be_v those_o laborer_n in_o the_o gospel_n who_o have_v receive_v their_o full_a pay_n yet_o murmur_v against_o the_o master_n of_o the_o house_n 20.11_o mat._n 20.11_o because_o he_o have_v give_v as_o much_o to_o they_o that_o wrought_v but_o one_o hour_n as_o he_o have_v do_v to_o themselves_o who_o as_o they_o say_v have_v bear_v the_o burden_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n and_o such_o be_v they_o in_o our_o day_n who_o grudge_v to_o see_v their_o equal_n prefer_v &_o themselves_o sit_v still_o where_o they_o be_v or_o to_o see_v their_o neighbour_n thrive_v in_o wealth_n and_o themselves_o to_o go_v slow_o forward_a or_o to_o see_v other_o respect_v abroad_o when_o themselves_o be_v pass_v by_o and_o neglect_v and_o not_o unlike_a to_o these_o be_v they_o also_o who_o grudge_v against_o god_n because_o their_o place_n be_v mean_a and_o their_o maintenance_n too_o small_a for_o man_n of_o such_o part_n and_o ability_n such_o man_n for_o still_v of_o their_o querulous_a nature_n shall_v consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1_o that_o they_o have_v no_o right_n to_o that_o which_o they_o do_v so_o greedy_o desire_v for_o all_o thing_n be_v god_n and_o he_o may_v dispose_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o psal_n 24.1_o every_o beast_n of_o the_o forest_n be_v he_o and_o the_o cattle_n that_o be_v upon_o a_o thousand_o hill_n psal_n 50.10_o the_o silver_n be_v i_o and_o the_o gold_n be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n hagg._n 2.8_o and_o thou_o say_v david_n o_o lord_n be_v the_o greatness_n and_o the_o power_n and_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o victory_n and_o the_o majesty_n for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o earth_n be_v thou_o thou_o be_v the_o kingdom_n o_o lord_n and_o thou_o be_v exalt_v as_o head_n above_o all_o 1_o chron._n 29.11_o and_o if_o all_o be_v god_n why_o do_v man_n lay_v claim_n to_o any_o thing_n as_o his_o due_a or_o if_o nothing_o be_v due_a to_o he_o why_o shall_v he_o grudge_v for_o want_v of_o that_o whereto_o he_o have_v no_o right_a sure_o it_o be_v a_o reasonable_a speech_n of_o the_o goodman_n of_o the_o house_n when_o he_o answer_v the_o grumble_a labourer_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o mat._n 20.15_o and_o so_o if_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v murmur_v because_o other_o be_v advance_v to_o office_n when_o we_o sit_v still_o in_o our_o place_n below_o god_n may_v answer_v we_o with_o the_o like_a reason_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o preferment_n and_o if_o any_o grumble_n because_o other_o grow_v rich_a when_o themselves_o remain_v poor_a god_n may_v answer_v they_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o riches_n and_o if_o again_o they_o shall_v grudge_v because_o other_o be_v esteem_v and_o themselves_o be_v neglect_v he_o may_v answer_v be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o honour_n and_o final_o if_o our_o present_a state_n content_v we_o not_o but_o that_o we_o grumble_v for_o more_o than_o god_n have_v think_v good_a to_o give_v he_o may_v still_o reply_v and_o the_o answer_n be_v full_a of_o equity_n and_o reason_n friend_n i_o do_v thou_o no_o wrong_n may_v not_o i_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o and_o sure_o every_o man_n will_v think_v he_o a_o proud_a &_o presumptuous_a beggar_n that_o shall_v prescribe_v to_o his_o benefactor_n what_o and_o how_o much_o he_o shall_v bestow_v upon_o he_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o shall_v grudge_v because_o he_o have_v no_o more_o god_n may_v challenge_v he_o as_o a_o incrocker_n upon_o his_o right_n 2_o malcontent_n shall_v consider_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v how_o small_a so_o ever_o they_o seem_v be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n mercy_n the_o least_o whereof_o themselves_o do_v no_o way_n deserve_v and_o for_o every_o one_o of_o they_o they_o owe_v praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o what_o have_v thou_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v 1_o cor._n 4.7_o and_o david_n when_o he_o
