pleasure_n or_o riches_n do_v witting_o and_o willing_o mock_v and_o beguile_v themselves_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o must_v cast_v away_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o blindfolding_n and_o open_v our_o eye_n and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o our_o god_n &_o have_v acknowledge_v the_o miserable_a plight_n wherein_o we_o be_v we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n unto_o we_o because_o he_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o succour_v we_o and_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o darkness_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o effect_n and_o immediate_o after_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o exceliencie_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v perish_v and_o not_o in_o wisdom_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v humble_v by_o death_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v bereave_v we_o of_o all_o glory_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v as_o it_o be_v to_o nothing_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o all_o our_o steadfastness_n &_o power_n proceed_v not_o from_o else_o where_o than_o from_o the_o free_a gooduesse_n of_o our_o god_n and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o live_v not_o in_o ourselves_o but_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v we_o too_o come_v near_o unto_o he_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o fullness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o according_a as_o he_o have_v give_v it_o we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n that_o be_v open_v unto_o we_o &_o which_o god_n show_v we_o and_o whereunto_o he_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v be_v fill_v therewith_o then_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o nothing_o in_o our_o own_o nature_n &_o yet_o therewithal_o to_o know_v that_o after_o that_o god_n have_v once_o strip_v we_o
we_o because_o we_o have_v understanding_n and_o reason_n because_o we_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o because_o man_n be_v bear_v to_o have_v some_o order_n and_o common_a society_n among_o themselves_o so_o as_o every_o man_n have_v a_o conscience_n of_o his_o own_o too_o tell_v he_o what_o be_v evil_a and_o what_o be_v good_a you_o see_v then_o how_o god_n have_v grant_v man_n a_o prerogative_n which_o be_v not_o only_o that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o life_n but_o also_o enlighten_v their_o mind_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o judge_v and_o discern_v yea_o and_o take_v hold_v of_o eternal_a life_n then_o if_o we_o consider_v well_o what_o be_v in_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v wonder_v but_o there_o be_v nothing_o whereat_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o astonish_v than_o at_o the_o reason_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o we_o for_o you_o see_v that_o if_o a_o man_n hear_v of_o thing_n that_o he_o never_o see_v he_o conceive_v they_o in_o his_o mind_n when_o man_n look_v aforehand_o unto_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o compare_v they_o with_o thing_n past_a they_o commit_v all_o of_o it_o unto_o memory_n and_o again_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v read_v or_o report_v to_o they_o they_o also_o judge_v of_o it_o thus_o see_v you_o how_o god_n have_v endue_v man_n with_o a_o grace_n that_o can_v not_o be_v value_v sufficient_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o consider_v well_o what_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v cause_n enough_o to_o glorify_v he_o yea_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o pass_v out_o of_o ourselves_o for_o it_o and_o here_o also_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n in_o that_o goodly_a sermon_n which_o he_o make_v in_o the_o city_n of_o athens_n say_v that_o man_n need_v not_o to_o go_v far_o to_o learn_v to_o know_v god_n for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v in_o he_o that_o we_o have_v our_o be_v life_n and_o move_v and_o if_o we_o be_v blind_a let_v we_o but_o fall_v to_o grope_v and_o grope_v with_o our_o hand_n as_o a_o poor_a blind_a man_n do_v in_o the_o dark_a for_o although_o he_o see_v nothing_o at_o all_o yet_o he_o grope_v about_o he_o and_o thereafter_o take_v his_o way_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v blind_a say_v saint_n paul_n yet_o may_v we_o grope_v out_o god_n work_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v give_v we_o wit_n and_o reason_n so_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o unexcusable_a if_o we_o make_v not_o this_o grace_n available_a where_o of_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o and_o in_o conclusion_n we_o must_v also_o mark_v well_o how_o job_n say_v here_o it_o be_v thy_o visstation_n o_o lord_n that_o have_v preserve_v my_o soul_n hitherto_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o that_o which_o we_o may_v see_v in_o our_o creation_n or_o beget_n when_o any_o of_o we_o be_v beget_v then_o do_v the_o mire_n show_v itself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o be_v full_a of_o infection_n and_o filthiness_n and_o therewithal_o appear_v also_o the_o say_a workmanship_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o it_o both_o in_o respect_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n but_o what_o for_o that_o if_o god_n preserve_v we_o not_o we_o shall_v needs_o perish_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n lord_n when_o thou_o send_v forth_o thy_o spirit_n all_o thing_n be_v renew_v and_o when_o thou_o withdraw_v it_o all_o thing_n go_v to_o wreck_n and_o decay_n god_n then_o must_v be_v say_v to_o maintain_v we_o too_o look_v unto_o we_o and_o to_o be_v always_o at_o hand_n with_o we_o or_o otherwise_o we_o be_v utter_o undo_v behold_v here_o a_o point_n that_o be_v well_o worth_a the_o weigh_v namely_o this_o visitation_n of_o god_n in_o look_v to_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v speak_v of_o precise_o by_o name_n why_o so_o if_o he_o have_v say_v lord_n thy_o visitation_n preserve_v my_o body_n my_o body_n shall_v not_o go_v to_o the_o grave_n at_o the_o first_o brunt_n and_o why_o so_o even_o because_o thou_o mainteine_v it_o by_o thy_o power_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o say_v it_o have_v be_v much_o but_o it_o be_v far_o more_o without_o comparison_n when_o job_n speak_v of_o the_o soul_n and_o why_o for_o it_o seem_v unto_o we_o that_o our_o soul_n have_v of_o itself_o the_o power_n to_o quicken_v our_o body_n and_o to_o give_v it_o liveliness_n and_o this_o be_v partly_o true_a but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v moreover_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o immortal_a of_o their_o own_o power_n neither_o be_v the_o life_n of_o they_o enclose_v in_o themselves_o as_o though_o it_o have_v his_o root_n there_o where_o be_v their_o life_n they_o in_o god_n so_o far_o forth_o then_o as_o god_n put_v any_o drop_n or_o spark_n of_o life_n into_o man_n soul_n so_o far_o forth_o have_v they_o liveliness_n in_o they_o and_o not_o otherwise_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o strain_v and_o special_o let_v we_o hearken_v what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v to_o express_v by_o this_o word_n visitation_n which_o be_v that_o god_n maintain_v we_o continual_o and_o look_v to_o we_o to_o preserve_v we_o or_o else_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o wreck_n the_o philosopher_n can_v well_o say_v that_o god_n have_v create_v and_o fashion_v we_o and_o that_o we_o have_v our_o be_v of_o he_o but_o therewithal_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o after_o god_n have_v set_v we_o in_o our_o race_n every_o man_n guide_v and_o govern_v himself_o lo_o how_o they_o deface_v the_o goodness_n and_o power_n of_o god_n and_o unto_o the_o same_o loudness_n be_v all_o man_n incline_v so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o stand_v it_o we_o in_o hand_n to_o mark_v well_o this_o word_n visitation_n which_o import_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o when_o god_n have_v put_v we_o into_o this_o world_n he_o let_v we_o not_o alone_o there_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v walk_v you_o every_o one_o as_o you_o can_v but_o he_o abide_v with_o we_o continual_o and_o have_v his_o hand_n always_o stretch_v out_o to_o breathe_v his_o power_n into_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o miscarry_v therefore_o see_v we_o can_v not_o continue_v except_o he_o have_v his_o eye_n always_o upon_o we_o to_o visit_v we_o and_o look_v to_o we_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o rule_v our_o life_n in_o such_o wise_n as_o if_o we_o be_v evermore_o in_o his_o presence_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o same_o assure_v we_o of_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n which_o he_o show_v towards_o we_o let_v it_o make_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o he_o to_o magnify_v he_o and_o to_o yield_v he_o his_o due_a praise_n and_o now_o let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o too_o make_v we_o perceive_v they_o better_o that_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o be_v so_o grieve_v as_o we_o always_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o they_o which_o be_v his_o reform_v of_o they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o like_a as_o he_o have_v create_v we_o mortal_a man_n so_o he_o will_v make_v we_o member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v repair_v after_o

then_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o sudden_a choler_n although_o the_o same_o settle_v not_o in_o his_o heart_n yet_o you_o see_v he_o have_v already_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n before_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o we_o foster_v deadly_a hatred_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o be_v full_a of_o venomous_a rancour_n to_o be_v revenge_v of_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o any_o wrong_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o correct_v this_o vice_n in_o we_o and_o understand_v that_o if_o any_o evil_a word_n have_v escape_v our_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o to_o fall_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o sun_n go_v not_o down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n jest_n you_o give_v possession_n unto_o satan_n hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v

and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o do_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o bear_v any_o evil_a will_n against_o our_o enemy_n we_o can_v make_v god_n a_o liar_n nor_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o speak_v by_o

the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o fight_n be_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o if_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o visible_a enemy_n we_o may_v

be_v always_o buzy_a to_o procure_v our_o destruction_n that_o they_o go_v about_o the_o earth_n that_o they_o be_v never_o away_o from_o we_o that_o they_o be_v ever_o seek_v mean_n to_o get_v into_o

they_o according_a to_o our_o small_a capacity_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n do_v not_o any_o thing_n without_o reason_n no_o not_o although_o the_o same_o be_v not_o know_v unto_o we_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o god_n do_v not_o always_o utter_v a_o present_a reason_n in_o his_o work_n so_o as_o man_n may_v perceive_v they_o and_o again_o the_o say_a wisdom_n be_v so_o deep_a as_o

to_o the_o full_a understanding_n of_o some_o one_o thing_n oh_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o nothing_o can_v go_v beyond_o we_o we_o be_v so_o cunning_a that_o all_o question_n which_o can_v be_v

particular_o also_o say_v that_o god_n give_v rain_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o make_v the_o water_n to_o gush_v down_o the_o street_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o

this_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o bymatter_v but_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o when_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o the_o common_a order_n which_o god_n keep_v in_o governiug_v his_o creature_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v apply_v it_o all_o whole_o to_o our_o own_o use_n for_o when_o we_o have_v run_v up_o and_o down_o &_o traverse_v from_o one_o side_n to_o another_o we_o

honour_v god_n as_o he_o deserve_v thus_o you_o see_v why_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o rain_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o under_o one_o particular_a eliphas_n comprehend_v they_o all_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o not_o only_o see_v that_o god_n have_v create_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o workmanship_n in_o the_o sky_n &_o in_o the_o earth_n as_o all_o they_o that_o think_v upon_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v astonish_v at_o it_o
or_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v their_o hand_n tie_v well-enough_o it_o may_v be_v that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o leave_v to_o range_v far_o enough_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o when_o it_o

provide_v for_o the_o matter_n after_o a_o incomprehensible_a manner_n thus_o much_o as_o concern_v this_o strain_n but_o eliphas_n proceed_v yet_o further_o say_v that_o god_n overtake_v the_o wise_n in_o their_o own_o wiliness_n and_o that_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v defeat_v yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o they_o stumble_v in_o the_o open_a light_n as_o in_o the_o

they_o have_v conceive_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o also_o add_v that_o god_n overtake_v they_o in_o their_o own_o wile_n and_o in_o such_o wise_n overthwart_v their_o device_n as_o they_o be_v

these_o two_o thing_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o if_o we_o see_v that_o god_n disappoynte_v not_o our_o enemy_n of_o their_o policy_n and_o that_o on_o our_o side_n we_o have_v no_o

that_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a though_o god_n resist_v not_o the_o wicked_a when_o they_o confederate_a themselves_o in_o such_o wise_n against_o we_o but_o rather_o give_v they_o leave_v too_o

in_o ure_n therefore_o when_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o know_v not_o whither_o there_o be_v any_o way_n out_o for_o we_o or_o no_o yea_o even_o that_o it_o seem_v we_o be_v utter_o undo_v already_o let_v we_o flee_v to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n who_o will_v easy_o find_v mean_n unknown_a to_o we_o but_o above_o all_o thing_n when_o soever_o we_o see_v that_o the_o

like_o as_o in_o these_o day_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n enemy_n be_v full_a enough_o of_o subtle_a device_n and_o they_o have_v a_o master_n that_o it_o be_v to_o wit_v the_o devil_n which_o

and_o still_o we_o see_v that_o all_o the_o mischievous_a practice_n that_o can_v be_v be_v on_o their_o side_n we_o see_v how_o those_o who_o man_n think_v to_o be_v of_o great_a skill_n be_v there_o keep_v in_o wage_n to_o blaspheme_v god_n to_o slander_v the_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n and_o to_o make_v we_o be_v hate_v of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o final_o they_o buy_v and_o sell_v we_o on_o all_o side_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v come_v to_o utter_v decay_n when_o all_o these_o thing_n aforesaid_a come_v before_o our_o eye_n what_o have_v we_o else_o to_o do_v but_o to_o wait_v with_o patience_n special_o see_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n can_v well_o tell_v how_o to_o hold_v their_o hand_n fast_o tie_v and_o that_o when_o they_o have_v seek_v all_o the_o corner_n of_o their_o wit_n and_o proll_v about_o the_o whole_a earth_n yea_o and_o mount_v above_o the_o cloud_n god_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o put_v any_o thing_n in_o execution_n and_o furthermore_o that_o
judgement_n and_o become_v as_o it_o be_v our_o judge_n so_o as_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o answer_v before_o he_o and_o too_o render_v he_o our_o account_v true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v much_o more_o perceive_v that_o thing_n which_o touch_v we_o in_o our_o flesh_n and_o why_o so_o for_o we_o be_v whole_o give_v too_o that_o so_o then_o we_o see_v common_o that_o man_n fear_v famine_n pestilence_n sickness_n or_o death_n which_o be_v the_o uttermost_a if_o a_o man_n threaten_v we_o with_o this_o we_o be_v afraid_a but_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v too_o we_o of_o god_n we_o be_v not_o move_v a_o whit_n and_o why_o so_o herein_o we_o show_v ourselves_o too_o be_v dull_a yea_o even_o too_o the_o uttermost_a as_o they_o that_o differ_v nothing_o from_o ox_n and_o ass_n in_o that_o we_o make_v so_o small_a reckon_v of_o god_n wrath_n and_o of_o the_o damnation_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o our_o soul_n i_o mean_v of_o they_o that_o continue_v enemy_n unto_o god_n but_o if_o a_o man_n talk_v to_o we_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o concern_v this_o present_a life_n we_o be_v amaze_v out_o of_o measure_n nevertheless_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n while_o other_o continue_v in_o their_o dullness_n god_n cease_v not_o too_o exercise_v those_o that_o be_v he_o after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o he_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o wrath_n and_o then_o as_o i_o say_v they_o be_v tempt_v much_o more_o without_o all_o comparison_n than_o if_o they_o endure_v all_o the_o misery_n that_o be_v possible_a too_o be_v imagine_v sometime_o we_o shall_v think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v speak_v thus_o and_o what_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o as_o a_o lion_n towards_o i_o he_o have_v break_v all_o my_o bone_n i_o be_o on_o a_o burn_a fire_n i_o wot_v

the_o faithful_a speak_v so_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o be_v nice_a and_o womanishe_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o these_o be_v they_o that_o be_v most_o strong_a and_o steadfast_a and_o who_o we_o have_v see_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o as_o they_o have_v have_v a_o invincible_a courage_n have_v not_o david_n a_o goodly_a patience_n god_n exercise_v he_o very_o much_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v he_o always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n so_o he_o be_v never_o carry_v away_o unto_o wickedness_n for_o all_o the_o trouble_n that_o befall_v he_o you_o see_v here_o a_o man_n of_o arm_n who_o have_v be_v practise_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o battle_n not_o only_o for_o a_o day_n or_o for_o a_o year_n but_o all_o his_o life_n long_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o his_o experience_n he_o complain_v as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v acquaint_v with_o any_o adversity_n or_o as_o if_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v afflict_v yea_o very_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o be_v not_o press_v with_o bodily_a harm_n and_o although_o he_o be_v sensible_a as_o other_o man_n be_v yet_o have_v it_o not_o great_o grieve_v he_o too_o bear_v any_o sickness_n or_o too_o suffer_v any_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n what_o be_v it_o then_o that_o drive_v he_o too_o complain_v so_o it_o be_v because_o he_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o be_v touch_v in_o his_o conscience_n as_o though_o god_n have_v not_o only_o forsake_v he_o but_o also_o be_v become_v his_o deadly_a foe_n and_o pursue_v he_o even_o unto_o hell_n too_o say_v thou_o shall_v have_v neither_o peace_n nor_o truce_n but_o i_o will_v drown_v thou_o altogether_o see_v then_o that_o david_n be_v so_o press_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o perceive_v that_o god_n wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o he_o you_o see_v what_o nip_v he_o even_o too_o the_o heart_n ezechias_n feel_v as_o much_o for_o god_n not_o only_o afflict_v he_o with_o sickness_n as_o may_v common_o befall_v unto_o we_o but_o also_o beside_o that_o he_o show_v he_o a_o token_n of_o his_o displeasure_n therefore_o it_o seem_v unto_o he_o that_o god_n will_v repeal_v and_o disannul_v all_o the_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v grant_v he_o before_o and_o further_o that_o his_o death_n shall_v cause_v god_n service_n too_o be_v quite_o overthrow_v which_o have_v be_v establish_v by_o his_o hand_n when_o ezechias_n conceive_v so_o great_a and_o so_o horrible_a vengeance_n of_o god_n there_o be_v good_a reason_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o dismay_v and_o so_o you_o see_v why_o he_o make_v such_o complaint_n as_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o song_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n afflict_v we_o in_o our_o body_n we_o can_v well_o take_v patient_o the_o misery_n that_o he_o send_v we_o for_o that_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o anguish_n which_o they_o endure_v who_o he_o make_v to_o feel_v his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n too_o come_v thereunto_o and_o although_o it_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o bitter_a a_o thing_n unto_o we_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o come_v too_o it_o and_o why_o so_o for_o they_o that_o conceive_v not_o their_o bodily_a tribulation_n pass_v not_o too_o seek_v help_n of_o the_o disease_n of_o their_o soul_n because_o they_o perceive_v they_o not_o at_o all_o and_o so_o consequent_o they_o pass_v not_o to_o seek_v atonement_n with_o god_n for_o they_o consider_v not_o his_o justice_n so_o then_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v more_o than_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o be_v wound_v with_o god_n judgement_n that_o when_o we_o have_v take_v hold_n of_o it_o we_o may_v be_v constrain_v to_o groan_v under_o such_o anguish_n according_a as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o have_v be_v in_o job._n true_a it_o be_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v not_o have_v like_o measure_n and_o god_n also_o know_v what_o we_o be_v able_a too_o bear_v according_a as_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v weak_a and_o as_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v endue_v he_o with_o so_o great_a a_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o very_o will_v he_o make_v he_o too_o feel_v his_o judgement_n thereafter_o howbeit_o he_o will_v hold_v he_o up_o and_o make_v he_o to_o taste_v of_o his_o mercy_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o wrath_n so_o as_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o utter_o dismay_v he_o but_o as_o for_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v a_o more_o singular_a strength_n and_o who_o god_n have_v fortify_v with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o sustain_v great_a brunt_n and_o far_o rough_a assault_n than_o such_o as_o be_v feeble_a like_o little_a child_n and_o here_o you_o perceive_v why_o we_o see_v these_o spiritual_a battle_n in_o david_n ezechias_n and_o job_n which_o never_o a_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o himself_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o portion_n of_o they_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v without_o it_o we_o will_v become_v dullard_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o conscience_n rock_v asleep_a too_o much_o but_o when_o god_n press_v we_o with_o his_o judgement_n it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o small_a while_n if_o we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o the_o holy_a person_n that_o have_v encounter_v against_o the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o why_o so_o for_o god_n have_v arm_v they_o yea_o and_o he_o have_v so_o fence_v they_o with_o his_o own_o strength_n that_o although_o they_o be_v bow_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o utter_o beat_v down_o and_o if_o they_o be_v beat_v down_o yet_o do_v god_n lift_v they_o up_o again_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o here_o furthermore_o when_o we_o see_v job_n so_o sore_o press_v even_o job_n i_o say_v who_o be_v the_o mirror_n of_o patience_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v advise_o for_o if_o this_o happen_v to_o the_o green_a tree_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o dry_a tree_n we_o see_v that_o job_n be_v so_o hartburn_v with_o anguish_n and_o we_o see_v he_o be_v so_o dull_v with_o torment_n as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o speak_v and_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o then_o if_o god_n listen_v too_o scourge_v we_o rigorous_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o quail_v utter_o but_o this_o must_v not_o astonie_n we_o nevertheless_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o be_v afraid_a for_o we_o can_v be_v hardy_a enough_o while_o we_o be_v far_o from_o blow_n as_o our_o ordinary_a manner_n

engrane_v the_o same_o still_o with_o his_o finger_n that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o let_v we_o come_v back_o again_o to_o the_o article_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o battle_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o own_o nature_n without_o take_v hold_n of_o god_n goodness_n which_o be_v from_o above_o as_o how_o we_o have_v already_o allege_v some_o record_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v but_o a_o breath_n or_o a_o wind_n that_o pass_v away_o and_o return_v no_o more_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o man_n

our_o soul_n but_o of_o a_o special_a favour_n that_o god_n bear_v we_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o only_a god_n be_v immortal_a we_o then_o be_v rransitorie_a we_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o fade_v away_o and_o what_o be_v our_o soul_n even_o the_o very_a angel_n of_o heaven_n shall_v also_o be_v mortal_a howbeit_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n have_v breathe_v his_o own_o power_n into_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o continue_v in_o he_o it_o be_v he_o from_o whence_o proceed_v the_o immortality_n i_o say_v even_o of_o the_o angel_n and_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o on_o our_o part_n to_o

we_o see_v now_o how_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o dedlinesse_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o sentence_n of_o the_o hundred_o and_o four_o psalm_n lord_n draw_v thou_o away_o thy_o spirit_n and_o all_o thing_n shall_v decay_v and_o come_v too_o nothing_o now_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v not_o too_o take_v from_o we_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o make_v we_o think_v that_o we_o be_v not_o immortal_a but_o we_o must_v always_o begin_v at_o this_o

which_o he_o have_v once_o put_v into_o we_o for_o if_o he_o maintain_v it_o not_o by_o his_o grace_n all_o will_v go_v to_o decay_v and_o special_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o high_a point_n that_o

behove_v we_o to_o look_v when_o we_o hope_v to_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n very_o saint_n paul_n use_v certain_a similitude_n which_o he_o take_v of_o the_o common_a order_n

of_o reason_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o our_o resurrection_n shall_v be_v as_o a_o natural_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o understand_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n and_o to_o

let_v we_o take_v example_n by_o it_o as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o we_o must_v not_o leave_v the_o other_o first_o article_n namely_o that_o god_n pour_v out_o reproach_n also_o upon_o such_o as_o be_v

that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 107._o psalm_n where_o god_n providence_n be_v treat_v off_o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o unrighteousness_n shall_v be_v

the_o do_n of_o thing_n here_o through_o the_o whole_a world_n they_o must_v needs_o have_v their_o mouth_n stop_v and_o like_v as_o i_o say_v that_o when_o god_n smite_v upon_o the_o thigh_n and_o

be_v in_o this_o world_n but_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o a_o end_n and_o when_o he_o call_v we_o to_o himself_o then_o be_v the_o good_a and_o sure_a rest_n and_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o

for_o it_o furthermore_o sorasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v man_n so_o turmoil_v with_o unquietness_n and_o torment_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o affection_n and_o lust_n we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o

thus_o you_o see_v what_o our_o belief_n must_v be_v if_o it_o be_v well_o rule_v and_o if_o we_o be_v once_o so_o well_o dispose_v we_o may_v say_v with_o job_n well_o very_o i_o see_v my_o body_n

we_o see_v that_o our_o strength_n droup_v and_o vanish_v away_o by_o little_a and_o little_a that_o although_o it_o please_v god_n to_o smite_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o shall_v in_o manner_n

not_o cease_v look_v unto_o his_o god_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o trust_v in_o god_n still_o after_o the_o example_n of_o job._n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o

say_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v create_v we_o and_o still_o maintain_v we_o in_o the_o world_n furthermore_o when_o job_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o

he_o see_v he_o in_o his_o flesh_n â–ª_o that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v set_v in_o my_o former_a state_n and_o see_v my_o god_n yet_o again_o and_o so_o he_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v able_a enough_o too_o set_v he_o up_o again_o although_o he_o be_v utter_o consume_v and_o plunge_v into_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o condition_n whereupon_o we_o must_v

therefore_o let_v we_o say_v i_o trust_v in_o god_n because_o i_o see_v he_o assist_v i_o and_o fail_v i_o not_o in_o any_o thing_n but_o when_o god_n fail_v we_o and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v estrange_v

his_o people_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n again_o we_o know_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v general_o that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a which_o eat_v the_o labour_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n

ratifying_n of_o the_o say_v ordinary_a righteousness_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v never_o deserve_v that_o god_n shall_v pity_v we_o for_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v yea_o even_o when_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o our_o work_v be_v still_o soil_v and_o that_o god_n may_v of_o good_a right_n reject_v they_o as_o for_o of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o think_v one_o good_a thought_n but_o although_o god_n govern_v we_o and_o although_o he_o work_v in_o we_o yet_o be_v there_o always_o some_o

then_o can_v we_o not_o deserve_v aught_o at_o god_n hand_n how_o be_v it_o forasmuch_o as_o have_v once_o call_v we_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o forgive_v we_o the_o vice_n that_o be_v mingle_v with_o

of_o it_o you_o see_v then_o how_o god_n manifest_v his_o ordinary_a righteousness_n by_o favour_v those_o that_o be_v he_o and_o have_v full_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o he_o at_o leastwise_o so_o

that_o shall_v have_v fleece_v his_o neighbour_n and_o play_v the_o cruel_a beast_n in_o eat_v up_o and_o devour_v other_o man_n good_n and_o god_n blow_v upon_o his_o substance_n so_o as_o nothing_o

be_v it_o also_o with_o other_o misdooer_n we_o see_v how_o scorner_n scoff_v at_o god_n and_o repine_v at_o he_o and_o advance_v themselves_o against_o he_o with_o excessive_a rage_n and_o god_n overthrow_v they_o sith_o then_o that_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a so_o punish_v already_o in_o this_o world_n ought_v we_o not_o to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v

of_o god_n ne_o have_v our_o eye_n shut_v to_o the_o world_n ward_n in_o respect_n of_o any_o opinion_n that_o man_n can_v conceive_v of_o we_o or_o of_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v lay_v

that_o job_n speak_v not_o at_o his_o own_o leisure_n and_o ease_n you_o see_v he_o be_v in_o such_o affliction_n as_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v full_o determine_v too_o destroy_v he_o utter_o and_o

in_o any_o presumption_n or_o vain_a trust_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o text_n and_o by_o the_o experience_n which_o our_o lord_n give_v we_o of_o it_o

the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n that_o be_v too_o say_v as_o long_o as_o man_n abide_v in_o their_o own_o natural_a kind_n they_o neither_o know_v what_o god_n be_v nor_o can_v at_o any_o time_n taste_v of_o his_o word_n but_o which_o worse_o be_v it_o be_v folly_n too_o they_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v for_o to_o their_o seem_n it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a doctrine_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o only_a spirit_n of_o god_n that_o give_v we_o faith_n and_o enlighten_v we_o and_o this_o aught_o too_o be_v well_o mark_v for_o when_o we_o see_v there_o be_v so_o few_o that_o know_v god_n yea_o and_o that_o many_o man_n which_o be_v well_o strike_v in_o year_n and_o have_v live_v long_a time_n in_o the_o world_n be_v stark_o mad_a in_o their_o superstition_n and_o fight_v feerce_o

such_o stumble_a block_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o dwell_v in_o man_n it_o be_v the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o almighty_a that_o give_v understanding_n do_v we_o see_v wretched_a man_n blind_v &_o so_o plunge_v in_o ignorance_n as_o they_o can_v come_v to_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o not_o marvel_v at_o it_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v man_n natural_a kind_n not_o to_o discern_v any_o whit_n of_o god_n secret_n until_o we_o be_v enlighten_v but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o know_v god_n whether_o he_o be_v young_a or_o old_a or_o if_o we_o see_v a_o old_a man_n that_o have_v be_v sape_v a_o long_a while_n in_o the_o dotage_n of_o papistry_n come_v too_o right_a religion_n let_v we_o assure_v our_o self_n that_o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o miracle_n in_o that_o case_n also_o if_o we_o see_v young_a folk_n come_v to_o it_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n draw_v they_o to_o he_o after_o a_o marvelous_a fashion_n for_o they_o do_v not_o easy_o receive_v the_o yoke_n because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o presumption_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o then_o if_o god_n tame_v they_o and_o make_v they_o teachable_a it_o be_v his_o mighty_a hand_n that_o have_v bring_v they_o unto_o it_o and_o so_o we_o se_fw-mi that_o this_o text_n ought_v to_o serve_v we_o in_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o see_v that_o by_o our_o wit_n can_v never_o reach_v so_o high_a as_o to_o know_v god_n or_o his_o truth_n we_o ought_v to_o put_v our_o own_o reason_n from_o we_o and_o to_o renounce_v it_o utter_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n term_v too_o be_v make_v a_o fool_n then_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o lord_n to_o fill_v we_o with_o his_o wisdom_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o become_v fool_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o bring_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o nor_o ween_v ourselves_o to_o have_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o for_o that_o be_v a_o shet_n of_o the_o door_n against_o god_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o continue_v the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v give_v we_o any_o portion_n of_o it_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o exalt_v and_o magnify_v he_o as_o he_o deserve_v and_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a understanding_n in_o we_o till_o god_n have_v put_v it_o into_o we_o and_o again_o the_o same_o must_v cause_v we_o to_o persist_v always_o in_o his_o obedience_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o great_a fear_n and_o carefulness_n see_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v quench_v the_o light_n that_o he_o have_v put_v into_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o darkness_n yea_o and_o in_o so_o horrible_a darkness_n as_o we_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o place_n the_o second_o be_v that_o although_o we_o see_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n go_v astray_v and_o scarce_o any_o man_n willing_a too_o submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o order_n as_o too_o play_v the_o wild_a beast_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o give_v understanding_n wherefore_o let_v the_o same_o be_v a_o ground_n for_o we_o to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n the_o more_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o not_o be_v carry_v away_o though_o we_o see_v such_o rebelliousness_n and_o why_o for_o man_n do_v but_o follow_v their_o own_o kind_n they_o follow_v their_o own_o head_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n resist_v god_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n surmount_v all_o man_n reason_n and_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o work_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o open_v their_o eye_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v abide_v continual_o in_o their_o beastliness_n final_o eliu_n conclude_v thereupon_o that_o great_a man_n be_v not_o always_o wise_a and_o that_o sometime_o age_a man_n have_v no_o understanding_n skill_n nor_o discretion_n more_o than_o other_o man_n true_o eliu_n mean_v not_o here_o to_o pervert_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o he_o have_v protest_v

that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v too_o age_n nor_o to_o the_o state_n and_o quality_n of_o man_n when_o it_o please_v god_n too_o advance_v a_o man_n too_o dignity_n if_o he_o will_v have_v he_o to_o

a_o man_n be_v in_o degree_n the_o more_o shall_v he_o be_v know_v to_o be_v a_o double_a beast_n as_o for_o example_n
that_o happen_v chief_o in_o the_o desert_n country_n and_o in_o the_o hot_a land_n where_o there_o be_v great_a store_n of_o wild_a beast_n and_o when_o it_o come_v so_o to_o pass_v god_n warn_v we_o thereby_o that_o the_o same_o mischief_n shall_v be_v universal_a if_o he_o provide_v not_o otherwise_o for_o it_o for_o when_o we_o see_v that_o wild_a beast_n devour_v man_n after_o that_o sort_n therein_o we_o have_v fair_a lookingglass_n whereof_o be_v it_o long_o that_o they_o follow_v not_o on_o forward_a and_o that_o they_o range_v not_o out_o unto_o man_n house_n and_o consume_v not_o

upon_o the_o read_n of_o this_o text_n let_v we_o remember_v also_o how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o four_o and_o thirtith_a psalm_n that_o although_o the_o lion_n be_v so_o strong_a and_o seek_v

that_o he_o will_v nourish_v they_o when_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o their_o father_n in_o true_a faith_n and_o when_o his_o holy_a spirit_n reign_v in_o their_o heart_n think_v we_o then_o that_o god_n will_v forsake_v we_o if_o we_o flee_v unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n see_v he_o feed_v the_o wild_a beast_n and_o give_v food_n to_o the_o raven_n as_o shall_v be_v say_v anon_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o this_o serve_v we_o to_o double_a use_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v hold_v of_o god_n wonderful_a goodness_n in_o that_o he_o provide_v food_n for_o the_o lion_n and_o all_o other_o beast_n so_o as_o we_o be_v preserve_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o if_o god_n feed_v the_o lion_n and_o wild_a beast_n it_o be_v much_o more_o likely_a that_o he_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o feed_v we_o because_o we_o be_v his_o child_n and_o that_o see_v he_o command_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v deal_v we_o our_o ordinary_a bread_n and_o feed_v we_o because_o we_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o he_o give_v we_o this_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n now_o it_o be_v say_v immediate_o after_o of_o the_o raven_n that_o god_n feed_v they_o both_o they_o and_o their_o young_a one_o when_o they_o cry_v unto_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o little_a bird_n have_v not_o understand_v to_o cry_v unto_o god_n neither_o have_v they_o speech_n to_o speak_v with_o and_o much_o less_o be_v they_o lead_v in_o that_o case_n by_o true_a faith_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o lack_v food_n and_o have_v no_o mean_n to_o sustain_v themselves_o in_o this_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o cry_v unto_o god_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n where_o the_o self_n same_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v and_o this_o say_n ought_v too_o be_v weigh_v well_o for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a confirmation_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v say_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o god_n feed_v the_o wild_a beast_n which_o howl_v and_o cry_v and_o bray_v without_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o maker_n which_o shall_v nourish_v they_o what_o ought_v they_o to_o do_v which_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n who_o have_v set_v they_o in_o the_o world_n reserve_v to_o himself_o the_o office_n of_o maintain_v they_o and_o of_o give_v they_o what_o so_o ever_o they_o have_v need_n of_o think_v we_o that_o he_o will_v fail_v they_o again_o let_v we_o first_o of_o all_o mark_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o word_n cry_n the_o raven_n bird_n do_v cry_v unto_o god._n why_o so_o not_o for_o that_o they_o cry_v in_o faith_n or_o understanding_n not_o for_o that_o they_o pray_v as_o man_n be_v teach_v to_o do_v but_o for_o that_o they_o cry_v for_o want_v of_o mean_n to_o help_v themselves_o behold_v then_o the_o raven_n bird_n be_v a_o hunger_a their_o dam_n fly_v abroad_o to_o seek_v their_o prey_n and_o sometime_o they_o find_v none_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n their_o young_a one_o be_v half_o starve_v and_o no_o body_n provide_v for_o they_o now_o be_v god_n fain_o to_o put_v to_o his_o help_a hand_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o give_v they_o worm_n to_o job_n at_o or_o by_o some_o other_o secret_a mean_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o young_a raven_n do_v cry_v unto_o god_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o other_o beast_n namely_o that_o when_o they_o be_v helpless_a they_o resort_v unto_o god_n not_o that_o they_o do_v it_o of_o any_o understanding_n but_o the_o case_n be_v such_o as_o they_o may_v well_o wander_v in_o the_o world_n &_o be_v still_o destitute_a of_o all_o succour_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o shift_n but_o that_o god_n must_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n and_o of_o his_o goodness_n give_v they_o the_o thing_n they_o have_v need_n of_o but_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o foresay_a comparison_n between_o ourselves_o and_o the_o brute_n beast_n for_o see_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o bountiful_a when_o the_o beast_n be_v destitute_a of_o natural_a mean_n to_o help_v themselves_o and_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o repair_v unto_o he_o what_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v for_o although_o we_o have_v abundance_n even_o till_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o parbreak_n our_o good_n up_o again_o yet_o must_v we_o always_o understand_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n own_o hand_n and_o if_o we_o happen_v to_o suffer_v penury_n and_o want_n we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o provoke_v to_o repair_v unto_o he_o therefore_o man_n must_v not_o shrink_v back_o nor_o chafe_v upon_o the_o bridle_n when_o they_o find_v themselves_o destitute_a of_o help_n what_o must_v they_o do_v then_o let_v they_o think_v thus_o with_o themselves_o behold_v god_n call_v we_o to_o he_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n he_o declare_v and_o protest_v that_o his_o mind_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n to_o provoke_v the_o beast_n to_o repair_v unto_o he_o and_o therein_o also_o to_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o sovereign_a governor_n for_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v leave_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o all_o shall_v lie_v waist_n how_o much_o more_o than_o ought_v i_o to_o repair_v unto_o he_o now_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whensoever_o we_o want_v provision_n so_o as_o we_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v or_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v we_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v his_o charge_n to_o give_v we_o whatsoever_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o &_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n he_o will_v have_v our_o whole_a trust_n settle_v in_o he_o and_o when_o we_o have_v such_o belief_n and_o inward_a feel_n prayer_n and_o supplication_n must_v be_v match_v with_o it_o out_o of_o hand_n for_o whosoever_o brag_v that_o he_o wait_v for_o his_o sustenance_n and_o food_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o for_o it_o do_v he_o not_o show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o hypocrisy_n &_o lease_v in_o he_o therefore_o faith_n must_v stir_v we_o up_o &_o drive_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v confess_v he_o to_o be_v our_o fosterfather_n and_o receive_v our_o food_n as_o it_o be_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o upon_o the_o receipt_n thereof_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v nourish_v by_o his_o mere_a goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v yet_o to_o a_o high_a comparison_n which_o be_v that_o sith_o we_o understand_v that_o god_n feed_v our_o body_n after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v also_o seek_v the_o
god_n providence_n shall_v be_v more_o darksome_a than_o it_o be_v then_o by_o all_o likelihood_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v nature_n which_o bear_v the_o sway_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o philosopher_n themselves_o have_v search_v and_o consider_v thing_n throughout_o in_o stead_n of_o worship_v &_o magnify_v god_n in_o his_o work_n they_o bend_v all_o their_o wit_n and_o understanding_n too_o forge_v a_o nature_n that_o shall_v serve_v to_o deface_v god_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o therein_o the_o devil_n rule_v they_o to_o their_o great_a and_o horrible_a damnation_n but_o when_o as_o we_o see_v such_o variety_n that_o one_o bird_n be_v of_o one_o nature_n and_o another_o of_o another_o and_o that_o the_o beast_n also_o do_v differ_v it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o this_o be_v one_o nature_n as_o it_o may_v be_v if_o all_o live_a thing_n go_v by_o one_o line_n and_o man_n see_v one_o answerable_a conformity_n in_o all_o beast_n if_o thing_n be_v so_o dispose_v man_n will_v by_o and_o by_o say_v nature_n nature_n and_o they_o will_v never_o think_v upon_o god_n but_o now_o sith_o we_o see_v that_o one_o bird_n have_v fearfulness_n and_o another_o have_v not_o therein_o god_n work_v appear_v the_o better_a the_o doove_n as_o we_o see_v be_v as_o fearful_a fowl_n as_o any_o can_v be_v and_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v that_o the_o gossehawkes_n and_o all_o other_o bird_n of_o prey_n be_v as_o hardy_a again_o there_o be_v other_o fowl_n that_o be_v very_o great_a which_o yet_o notwithstanding_o give_v not_o themselves_o to_o the_o prey_n as_o for_o example_n look_v upon_o the_o swan_n will_v they_o feed_v upon_o carion_n be_v the_o bird_n of_o prey_n as_o the_o eagle_n be_v see_v then_o that_o there_o come_v such_o diversity_n before_o our_o eye_n god_n do_v therein_o show_v we_o his_o providence_n the_o more_o apparent_o &_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o convict_v and_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o without_o go_v any_o further_a if_o all_o man_n have_v one_o countenance_n and_o all_o woman_n likewise_o so_o as_o they_o be_v all_o of_o one_o stature_n of_o one_o colour_n of_o one_o make_v of_o one_o look_v and_o of_o one_o mind_n we_o shall_v not_o so_o well_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o creator_n that_o shape_v we_o nor_o that_o he_o deal_v forth_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o it_o please_v he_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o our_o mother_n womb_n shape_v we_o or_o that_o it_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o our_o father_n that_o give_v we_o substance_n and_o shape_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v to_o be_v short_a man_n will_v not_o think_v themselves_o behold_v to_o god_n for_o any_o thing_n nor_o yield_v he_o any_o honour_n but_o when_o we_o see_v such_o diversity_n of_o man_n so_o as_o one_o be_v big_a and_o another_o small_a and_o their_o disposition_n differ_v so_o as_o one_o be_v sharpewitted_a &_o another_o dull_a one_o be_v of_o great_a eloquence_n and_o utterance_n in_o speech_n and_o another_o be_v as_o good_a as_o half_a dumb_a when_o we_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n must_v we_o not_o needs_o if_o we_o be_v not_o too_o too_o malicious_a and_o froward_a confess_v that_o god_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n distribute_v unto_o we_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o have_v make_v we_o and_o fashion_v we_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o like_o as_o when_o a_o woman_n have_v milk_v her_o cow_n she_o make_v her_o cheese_n of_o what_o fashion_n she_o herself_o ly_v so_o god_n also_o dispose_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o wot_v not_o what_o too_o say_v too_o it_o but_o that_o it_o be_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 contrary_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n draw_v we_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o see_v we_o slow_a in_o come_v he_o cheer_v we_o up_o &_o prick_v we_o forward_o so_o as_o we_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n force_v to_o go_v onward_o except_o we_o will_v of_o malicious_a stubbornness_n withstand_v he_o and_o carp_v at_o he_o in_o say_v i_o see_v and_o will_v not_o see_v 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 which_o live_v by_o pray_v have_v skill_n to_o seek_v their_o feed_n and_o special_o that_o the_o eagle_n do_v smell_v a_o far_o off_o where_o aught_o be_v for_o they_o to_o feed_v upon_o much_o 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 corruptible_a food_n yea_o and_o run_v thither_o and_o take_v pain_n for_o it_o what_o excuse_n be_v there_o for_o we_o if_o we_o on_o our_o side_n refuse_v our_o spiritual_a food_n when_o it_o be_v 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

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

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

in_o deed_n he_o be_v there_o in_o extremity_n as_o the_o party_n that_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o for_o a_o while_n

acknowledge_v the_o same_o too_o be_v a_o inestimable_a privilege_n but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o lesson_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o that_o although_o man_n be_v immortal_a yet_o they_o have_v it_o not_o of_o their_o own_o strength_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n yield_v the_o title_n of_o immortality_n and_o everlastingness_n peculiar_o unto_o god_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o angel_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o man_n be_v they_o mortal_a as_o the_o brute_n beast_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o feel_v well_o how_o god_n breathe_v power_n into_o our_o soul_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n from_o else_o where_o and_o as_o it_o be_v do_v borrow_v it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o for_o although_o our_o soul_n come_v not_o to_o nought_o ne_o rot_v away_o as_o our_o body_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o they_o be_v alienate_v from_o god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o horrible_a death_n than_o if_o they_o be_v utter_o return_v to_o nothing_o our_o state_n be_v better_a if_o we_o be_v utter_o foredo_v than_o to_o beeseparate_v from_o god_n and_o to_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v against_o we_o then_o must_v god_n be_v fain_o to_o give_v we_o another_o life_n which_o be_v that_o he_o knit_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v live_v and_o reign_v in_o we_o if_o we_o have_v this_o once_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a benefit_n wherein_o we_o can_v joy_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n work_v after_o a_o strange_a fashion_n and_o unknown_a too_o man_n reason_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v during_o their_o life_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v not_o only_o set_v in_o like_a state_n with_o the_o unbeliever_n but_o be_v make_v much_o more_o poor_a and_o miserable_a for_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v afflict_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o mankind_n as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o be_v deal_v withal_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o come_v back_o to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o colossian_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a and_o that_o our_o life_n lie_v hide_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n will_v show_v it_o in_o due_a time_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v a_o goodly_a similitude_n in_o that_o which_o job_n set_v down_o for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o tree_n fade_v at_o the_o come_n of_o winter_n there_o appear_v no_o more_o greenness_n in_o they_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o be_v dead_a when_o the_o leaf_n be_v fall_v off_o and_o the_o tree_n themselves_o frostebitten_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o life_n cease_v not_o to_o lie_v hide_v both_o in_o the_o root_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o spring_n time_n be_v come_v all_o shoot_v forth_o again_o and_o the_o liveliness_n that_o be_v unseen_a for_o a_o

when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o reprove_v man_n for_o their_o beastliness_n because_o they_o consider_v not_o how_o god_n do_v show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a figure_n of_o the_o resurrection_n by_o the_o grow_a of_o the_o corn_n upon_o the_o earth_n look_v upon_o the_o corn_n that_o be_v in_o the_o barn_n it_o be_v dry_a it_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o

not_o we_o senseless_a and_o brutish_a when_o we_o perceive_v not_o after_o what_o manner_n god_n work_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o life_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v we_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v here_o now_o for_o when_o we_o see_v the_o tree_n which_o in_o winter_n time_n be_v dead_a or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v dead_a become_v fresh_a and_o green_a again_o in_o the_o spring_n time_n we_o must_v be_v confirm_v in_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v unto_o we_o namely_o that_o although_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v and_o we_o be_v here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o shall_v not_o that_o hinder_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n continual_o and_o look_v for_o the_o resurrection_n that_o he_o have_v

it_o shall_v please_v god_n
to_o martyr_v themselves_o continual_o yea_o and_o although_o man_n endeavour_n themselves_o to_o serve_v they_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o further_o they_o at_o all_o after_o that_o sophar_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o it_o may_v well_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o feel_v god_n curse_n at_o the_o first_o stroke_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v welter_v yea_o and_o boast_v themselves_o in_o their_o good_a fortune_n as_o they_o term_v it_o to_o be_v short_a you_o shall_v see_v the_o wicked_a man_n live_v at_o such_o ease_n too_o outward_a appearance_n as_o it_o shall_v not_o seem_v that_o they_o feel_v god_n wrath_n but_o behold_v say_v sophar_n in_o the_o turn_n of_o a_o hand_n god_n will_v make_v it_o to_o rain_v upon_o their_o meat_n and_o what_o shall_v it_o rain_v the_o rage_n of_o his_o wrath_n we_o see_v that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o which_o be_v that_o here_o be_v a_o high_a step_n than_o that_o which_o i_o have_v expound_v already_o for_o the_o anguish_n whereof_o mention_n have_v be_v make_v and_o the_o unquietness_n and_o comberance_n that_o the_o wicked_a have_v spring_v of_o their_o continual_a distrust_n for_o they_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o god_n and_o in_o this_o world_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o trust_v unto_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v in_o great_a vexation_n of_o mind_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v at_o their_o ease_n for_o a_o time_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v dazzle_v so_o as_o too_o their_o own_o seem_n they_o shall_v be_v happy_a in_o all_o respect_n well_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o god_n blessing_n be_v upon_o they_o no._n how_o then_o god_n suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o run_v riot_n so_o more_o and_o more_o and_o when_o they_o put_v their_o trust_n after_o that_o sort_n in_o their_o riches_n they_o do_v but_o provoke_v god_n further_o for_o they_o know_v not_o he_o of_o who_o their_o wealth_n come_v and_o thereupon_o take_v occasion_n too_o overshoot_v themselves_o so_o much_o the_o more_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o brutish_a the_o wicked_a become_v when_o they_o have_v not_o the_o say_a unquietness_n to_o prick_v they_o but_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o content_n themselves_o ween_v that_o all_o go_v well_o with_o they_o but_o so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v god_n vengeance_n increase_v why_o so_o because_o they_o have_v get_v their_o

be_v as_o gulf_n moreover_o they_o be_v so_o unthankful_a and_o proud_a against_o god_n as_o it_o shall_v seem_v they_o will_v work_v he_o spite_n to_o who_o they_o be_v so_o great_o bind_v as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o behold_v to_o he_o for_o any_o thing_n they_o presume_v upon_o their_o riches_n they_o make_v their_o paradise_n in_o this_o world_n they_o think_v themselves_o peerless_a and_o make_v they_o horn_n too_o doss_n against_o god_n behold_v i_o pray_v you_o the_o top_n of_o all_o iniquity_n which_o cause_v god_n vengeance_n to_o be_v the_o more_o horrible_a upon_o their_o

as_o a_o rain_n that_o come_v sudden_o in_o sommertime_n when_o a_o little_a blast_n will_v serve_v a_o man_n turn_n behold_v there_o come_v a_o sudden_a storm_n unthought_a of_o even_o so_o

the_o shadow_n of_o god_n goodness_n for_o then_o be_v we_o in_o safety_n whither_o he_o give_v we_o abundance_n or_o whither_o he_o deal_v spare_o with_o we_o when_o we_o be_v under_o his_o hand_n and_o protection_n one_o bit_n of_o bread_n will_v be_v as_o good_a to_o we_o for_o our_o nourishment_n as_o manna_n from_o heaven_n and_o if_o we_o have_v abundance_n we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o therein_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o father_n too_o we_o and_o handdle_v we_o as_o his_o child_n the_o faithful_a therefore_o will_v every_o way_n fare_v the_o better_a by_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n

while_o the_o meat_n be_v yet_o in_o their_o throat_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n steal_v upon_o man_n unwares_o even_o in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n upon_o they_o that_o think_v not_o themselves_o subject_a to_o he_o so_o than_o if_o our_o lord_n give_v we_o any_o good_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o too_o entangle_v ourselves_o in_o they_o neither_o let_v we_o make_v a_o grave_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o ladder_n for_o we_o to_o climb_v high_o on_o as_o the_o unbeliever_n

that_o he_o may_v bring_v all_o their_o enterprise_n to_o a_o good_a end_n no._n there_o be_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o pride_n and_o stateliness_n in_o somuch_o as_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v

it_o anon_o after_o for_o in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o scoff_v at_o god_n patience_n and_o provoke_v his_o anger_n more_o and_o more_o he_o also_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o utter_v his_o roughness_n and_o to_o thunder_v upon_o they_o and_o whereas_o he_o have_v scarce_o give_v they_o a_o tick_n with_o a_o rod_n he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n against_o they_o and_o too_o take_v his_o bow_n and_o shoot_v at_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o mind_v this_o say_n well_o aforehand_o too_o the_o end_n that_o if_o our_o lord_n visit_v we_o we_o may_v not_o think_v to_o shun_v the_o mischief_n by_o our_o own_o byleape_n but_o rather_o commit_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o persocute_v we_o as_o his_o deadly_a enemy_n as_o we_o deserve_v too_o be_v he_o may_v vouchsafe_v to_o take_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o his_o threaten_n be_v repeat_v so_o often_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o it_o be_v not_o here_o only_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v flee_v from_o the_o weapon_n of_o iron_n and_o meet_v with_o a_o bow_n of_o steel_n but_o we_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n himself_o speak_v it_o by_o his_o prophet_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v too_o small_a purpose_n for_o thou_o to_o hide_v thyself_o in_o thine_o house_n if_o thou_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n thou_o shall_v meet_v with_o wild_a beast_n when_o thou_o be_v escape_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lion_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o bear_n that_o shall_v find_v thou_o well-enough_o hereby_o our_o lord_n show_v that_o he_o have_v all_o creature_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o can_v serve_v his_o own_o turn_n with_o they_o to_o persecute_v man_n so_o as_o we_o can_v make_v account_n to_o be_v discharge_v till_o we_o have_v find_v favour_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o that_o he_o have_v pity_n of_o we_o so_o then_o the_o only_a mean_a to_o be_v sure_a and_o safe_a be_v that_o god_n have_v receive_v we_o but_o if_o we_o flee_v aloof_o from_o he_o he_o have_v too_o long_a hand_n and_o when_o he_o have_v draw_v his_o sword_n he_o have_v a_o bow_n also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o have_v so_o many_o sort_n of_o chastize_n and_o punishman_n as_o in_o the_o end_n we_o must_v needs_o fall_v unhappy_o except_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o as_o i_o have_v show_v already_o now_o like_a as_o god_n threaten_v sword_n bow_n wild_a beast_n and_o scorpion_n to_o such_o as_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o and_o stout_o harden_v themselves_o against_o his_o hand_n so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v way_n without_o number_n too_o save_o those_o that_o flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o his_o goodness_n and_o put_v their_o trust_n therein_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v environ_v with_o many_o misery_n and_o many_o death_n shall_v lie_v in_o wait_n for_o we_o but_o god_n also_o have_v diverse_a way_n to_o succour_n we_o yea_o which_o be_v to_o we_o incomprehensible_a therefore_o when_o we_o be_v unprovided_a of_o all_o mean_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v too_o we_o that_o we_o be_v undo_v let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o thus_o god_n have_v some_o issue_n of_o death_n which_o be_v know_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o same_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o exercise_v our_o faith_n let_v we_o tarry_v till_o he_o discover_v his_o goodness_n and_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o make_v his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v upon_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v in_o life_n even_o in_o the_o midd_n of_o death_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o threaten_n which_o god_n make_v to_o the_o wicked_a aught_o to_o make_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o have_v full_a matter_n of_o gladness_n and_o rest_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v in_o many_o danger_n and_o that_o assoon_o as_o we_o be_v pass_v out_o of_o one_o another_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v deliver_v for_o like_a as_o god_n have_v sword_n to_o punish_v the_o wicked_a so_o have_v he_o infinite_a deliverance_n to_o succour_n his_o faithful_a one_o lo_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o verse_n and_o for_o a_o conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v through_o his_o gall_n and_o that_o fearfulness_n shall_v be_v upon_o he_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sword_n shall_v be_v draw_v and_o pierce_v the_o wicked_a quite_o and_o clean_o through_o his_o gall_n it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o deadly_a stroke_n that_o shall_v wound_n he_o to_o the_o heart_n and_o this_o serve_v too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o god_n punishment_n shall_v sometime_o be_v sudden_a true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o always_o so_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n also_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whither_o god_n perform_v his_o judgement_n swift_o but_o yet_o do_v he_o give_v we_o some_o show_n of_o they_o even_o in_o this_o life_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v the_o earnestly_o harken_v for_o the_o last_o day_n whereas_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v set_v again_o in_o their_o full_a state_n and_o perfection_n nevertheless_o as_o i_o say_v god_n judgement_n shall_v sometime_o be_v sudden_a and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o zophar_n mean_v too_o express_v in_o say_v the_o sword_n be_v
