so_o he_o be_v our_o god_n and_o we_o be_v his_o people_n so_o that_o we_o keep_v his_o holy_a will_n and_o commandment_n but_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v so_o frail_a that_o we_o can_v do_v no_o good_a of_o ourselves_o for_o god_n work_v the_o will_n and_o deed_n in_o all_o his_o creature_n for_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n he_o do_v give_v sundry_a gift_n &_o all_o for_o the_o profit_n both_o of_o our_o soul_n &_o body_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o corinthian_n to_o one_o be_v give_v through_o the_o spirit_n the_o utterance_n of_o wisdom_n to_o a_o other_o the_o utterance_n of_o knowledge_n by_o that_o same_o spirit_n to_o a_o other_o faith_n by_o that_o same_o spirit_n to_o another_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_a by_o that_o same_o spirit_n to_o another_o profess_v to_o a_o other_o judgement_n to_o discern_v spirit_n to_o another_o diverse_a tongue_n to_o a_o other_o the_o interpretation_n of_o tongue_n and_o all_o those_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_n and_o distribute_v unto_o every_o man_n according_a unto_o his_o most_o holy_a will_n and_o pleasure_n then_o what_o a_o vain_a generation_n of_o people_n be_v we_o to_o strive_v against_o the_o will_n &_o pleasure_n of_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n be_v bind_v to_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o man_n but_o what_o special_a gift_n soever_o god_n do_v give_v unto_o man_n let_v they_o give_v he_o thanks_o therefore_o and_o look_v that_o they_o do_v not_o abuse_v the_o same_o gift_n for_o if_o that_o they_o do_v it_o will_v be_v a_o snare_n to_o take_v they_o in_o and_o so_o be_v a_o example_n unto_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o our_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o with_o vanity_n then_o enter_v the_o devil_n &_o he_o cause_v a_o man_n to_o fall_v and_o decline_v from_o god_n think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o the_o gift_n that_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o we_o come_v of_o ourselves_o for_o as_o some_o do_v think_v that_o have_v riches_n that_o they_o have_v it_o by_o their_o own_o industry_n and_o some_o do_v diverse_a other_o thing_n think_v that_o it_o come_v of_o themselves_o with_o diverse_a other_o special_a gift_n that_o god_n give_v unto_o man_n therefore_o whensoever_o god_n do_v give_v any_o special_a gift_n to_o any_o person_n then_o let_v he_o give_v he_o thanks_n therefore_o use_v it_o to_o the_o lewd_n praise_n glory_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n &_o to_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o his_o native_a country_n for_o great_a be_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o people_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o consider_v this_o in_o these_o our_o day_n that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n with_o all_o his_o adherent_n do_v daily_o practice_v how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v to_o bring_v this_o our_o noble_a realm_n of_o england_n to_o utter_v confusion_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o meet_a and_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o devise_v how_o to_o prevent_v they_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n if_o that_o we_o do_v our_o good_a will_n and_o endeavour_n but_o the_o live_a god_n will_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o hand_n and_o snare_n of_o such_o wicked_a antichristes_n that_o do_v seek_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o christian_a servant_n of_o god_n wherefore_o it_o be_v very_o meet_v for_o we_o that_o be_v faithful_a christian_n and_o true_a subject_n to_o our_o prince_n and_o country_n to_o arm_v ourselves_o first_o with_o faith_n second_o with_o manly_a courage_n and_o three_o with_o armour_n for_o our_o back_n for_o let_v we_o be_v assure_v without_o god_n mighty_a providence_n unto_o the_o contrary_a that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v we_o at_o any_o advantage_n that_o then_o let_v we_o look_v for_o no_o other_o matter_n but_o that_o they_o will_v give_v the_o attempt_n for_o such_o be_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o malicious_a papist_n yea_o even_o some_o of_o they_o be_v those_o that_o shall_v or_o ought_v to_o be_v good_a subject_n unto_o their_o prince_n and_o native_a country_n wherefore_o i_o beseech_v the_o live_a god_n to_o confound_v such_o wicked_a imp_n that_o shall_v seek_v the_o destruction_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o especial_o a_o virtuous_a merciful_a and_o a_o godly_a prince_n and_o second_o the_o destruction_n of_o their_o native_a realm_n and_o country_n yea_o even_o the_o nurse_n to_o they_o and_o their_o forefather_n that_o have_v yield_v unto_o they_o all_o kind_n of_o food_n and_o necessary_n what_o great_a wickedness_n can_v there_o be_v in_o man_n and_o they_o themselves_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o also_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o defend_v their_o prince_n and_o country_n for_o we_o nor_o they_o have_v no_o just_a quarrel_n to_o fight_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o only_o to_o defend_v our_o prince_n and_o country_n and_o the_o liberty_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o call_v unto_o god_n for_o mercy_n and_o grace_n and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o &_o turn_v all_o their_o wicked_a devise_n unto_o their_o own_o destruction_n even_o as_o they_o that_o make_v a_o pit_n for_o other_o and_o fall_n into_o it_o themselves_o wherefore_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o all_o they_o that_o be_v noble_a man_n and_o magistrate_n &_o such_o as_o be_v in_o authority_n to_o cherish_v and_o maintain_v all_o those_o that_o be_v good_a and_o virtuous_a subject_n and_o good_a member_n in_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a and_o convenient_a to_o punish_v all_o wicked_a doer_n and_o such_o as_o do_v annoy_n and_o hurt_v the_o common_a wealth_n have_v no_o regard_n neither_o for_o love_n nor_o favour_n nor_o hatred_n or_o
