neither_o just_a nor_o wise_a but_o so_o much_o as_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o word_n it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v neither_o fruit_n of_o life_n nor_o take_v of_o soul_n in_o popery_n for_o they_o be_v without_o the_o word_n instead_o of_o fruit_n they_o have_v deadly_a poison_n the_o invention_n &_o doctrine_n of_o man_n superstition_n &_o idolatry_n and_o instead_o to_o be_v take_v and_o catch_v they_o be_v more_o drown_v in_o the_o mire_n of_o this_o world_n we_o may_v also_o add_v that_o since_o that_o solomon_n speak_v by_o similitude_n &_o comparison_n we_o may_v apply_v this_o sentence_n unto_o a_o other_o meaning_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o inherit_v wind_n as_o do_v he_o that_o trouble_v his_o house_n but_o of_o his_o righteousness_n he_o

speak_v here_o of_o recompense_n &_o do_v show_v it_o present_v say_v behold_v if_o we_o understand_v well_o this_o meaning_n he_o give_v none_o occasion_n unto_o our_o flesh_n for_o to_o rejoice_v for_o he_o do_v not_o promise_v such_o reward_n as_o it_o desire_v as_o temporal_a riches_n worldly_a honour_n favour_n of_o man_n delight_n &_o pleasure_n peace_n and_o rest_n but_o he_o do_v threaten_v we_o with_o the_o contrary_a as_o we_o may_v see_v first_o of_o all_o when_o he_o show_v the_o ready_a recompense_n of_o the_o righteous_a say_v behold_v or_o lo_o here_o it_o be_v second_o when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o consideration_n and_o estate_n of_o the_o righteous_a in_o this_o life_n &_o world_n be_v that_o they_o pay_v they_o evil_a for_o good_a they_o be_v

suffer_v such_o thing_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n as_o the_o holy_a ancient_a father_n have_v try_v the_o prophet_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n also_o whereupon_o do_v proceed_v these_o complaint_n false_a witness_n do_v rise_v up_o they_o lay_v to_o my_o charge_n thing_n that_o i_o know_v 20._o psal_n 35._o 11_o &_o 38_o 20._o not_o they_o reward_v

because_o the_o wicked_a do_v sin_n more_o they_o deserve_v great_a recompense_n when_o solomon_n declare_v unto_o the_o righteous_a this_o recompense_n or_o payment_n he_o do_v admonish_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v arm_v themselves_o with_o patience_n and_o what_o adversity_n soever_o do_v happen_v unto_o they_o yet_o do_v they_o not_o murmur_v nor_o despite_n god_n which_o do_v afflict_v and_o chasten_v they_o for_o albeit_o that_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o wicked_a do_v persecute_v they_o yet_o do_v the_o righteous_a suffer_v nothing_o but_o so_o far_o as_o god_n slack_v the_o

as_o they_o do_v well_o deserve_v what_o righteousness_n soever_o they_o have_v behold_v job_n which_o have_v witness_n to_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o upright_o and_o fear_v god_n yet_o god_n do_v
