call_v whelp_n that_o be_v those_o young_a lion_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o able_a to_o seek_v their_o prey_n but_o although_o a_o lion_n be_v so_o fierce_a notwithstanding_o the_o divine_a providence_n

ariosto_n which_o be_v when_o they_o be_v at_o the_o strong_a that_o they_o will_v be_v it_o come_v from_o a_o hebrew_n word_n arah_n which_o signify_v to_o snatch_v and_o devour_v because_o at_o that_o age_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o tear_v and_o devour_v we_o find_v that_o tyrannical_a ruler_n be_v set_v out_o in_o scripture_n by_o lion_n these_o lion_n when_o they_o grow_v old_a be_v call_v levi_n because_o than_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o go_v out_o to_o seek_v their_o prey_n but_o hide_v themselves_o in_o den_n and_o behind_o bush_n and_o lie_v as_o if_o they_o be_v asleep_a and_o move_v no_o part_n of_o their_o body_n so_o when_o any_o beast_n pass_v by_o he_o set_v upon_o he_o on_o a_o sudden_a and_o tear_v he_o in_o piece_n just_a as_o cat_n cateh_a bird_n and_o mouse_n but_o if_o they_o be_v so_o old_a that_o they_o can_v get_v their_o prey_n they_o sometime_o do_v fall_v upon_o man_n and_o destroy_v they_o but_o it_o be_v ordain_v so_o by_o divine_a providence_n that_o their_o young_a one_o bring_v they_o meat_n when_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o go_v for_o it_o themselves_o a_o lion_n live_v to_o a_o great_a age_n for_o several_a of_o their_o tooth_n have_v be_v very_o much_o eat_v in_o which_o show_v that_o they_o be_v very_o old_a 3._o although_o the_o lion_n be_v of_o a_o noble_a and_o generous_a spirit_n yet_o sometime_o also_o he_o be_v very_o fierce_a and_o cruel_a from_o whence_o we_o may_v learn_v several_a good_a instruction_n and_o first_o we_o will_v consider_v what_o the_o scripture_n speak_v as_o when_o the_o jew_n christ_n the_o apostle_n and_o all_o wise_a man_n be_v call_v lion_n hence_o gen._n 49._o 9_o king_n be_v call_v lion_n who_o no_o one_o dare_v raise_v and_o as_o the_o bone_n of_o a_o lion_n be_v firm_a and_o strong_a so_o the_o jewish_a state_n be_v so_o firm_o establish_v that_o although_o it_o have_v many_o enemy_n yet_o they_o can_v never_o overthrow_v it_o moreover_o though_o the_o lion_n be_v a_o strong_a creature_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o proud_a of_o his_o strength_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o craft_n or_o guile_n but_o do_v all_o his_o action_n open_o so_o in_o the_o jewish_a state_n right_a and_o justice_n ought_v to_o prevail_v before_o fraud_n and_o injustice_n and_o as_o the_o lion_n be_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o the_o wolf_n so_o all_o commonwealth_n ought_v to_o be_v arm_v with_o strength_n and_o power_n against_o all_o sedition_n and_o heresy_n so_o david_n psal_n 101._o 7._o he_o that_o work_v deceit_n shall_v not_o dwell_v within_o my_o house_n and_o he_o that_o tell_v lie_n shall_v not_o tarry_v in_o my_o sight_n and_o though_o a_o lion_n be_v sometime_o very_o fierce_a yet_o he_o be_v then_o so_o noble_a and_o generous_a that_o he_o will_v spare_v those_o who_o

spare_v the_o humble_a and_o to_o bring_v down_o the_o proud_a and_o as_o lion_n sleep_v but_o very_o little_a so_o all_o ruler_n ought_v to_o be_v vigilant_a and_o watchful_a as_o homer_n seem_v to_o

in_o the_o arm_n of_o prince_n to_o show_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v pitiful_a and_o merciful_a towards_o their_o subject_n yet_o also_o just_a and_o impartial_a to_o all_o malefactor_n and_o

they_o be_v mere_a hypocrite_n there_o be_v many_o likewise_o which_o partake_v of_o christ_n table_n which_o be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v his_o guest_n last_o some_o part_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v

better_a 5._o it_o be_v very_o well_o worth_a our_o observation_n that_o christ_n compare_v all_o good_a man_n to_o sheep_n as_o himself_o be_v compare_v to_o they_o and_o without_o question_n it_o do_v figurate_a unto_o we_o that_o sweet_a and_o near_a union_n that_o there_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n 1._o christ_n be_v to_o prescribe_v law_n to_o his_o church_n do_v not_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o den_n of_o lion_n which_o all_o other_o creature_n dread_a nor_o to_o wolf_n which_o be_v never_o satisfy_v have_v such_o a_o greedy_a desire_n nor_o to_o bear_n which_o be_v

nor_o to_o the_o lecherous_a goat_n nor_o to_o the_o intemperate_a glutton_n but_o to_o the_o sheep_n by_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v all_o the_o former_a vice_n 2._o sheep_n have_v nothing_o of_o fraud_n nor_o deceit_n in_o they_o christian_n likewise_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v crafty_a and_o deceitful_a in_o their_o deal_n one_o with_o another_o 3._o sheep_n do_v no_o

patient_a and_o mild_a christian_n in_o like_a manner_n ought_v to_o be_v courteous_a and_o civil_a to_o all_o person_n and_o they_o be_v of_o all_o creature_n the_o cleanly_a so_o ought_v every_o member_n of_o the_o true_a church_n to_o mortify_v their_o lust_n by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n again_o they_o love_v green_a meadow_n and_o clear_a water_n neither_o do_v the_o church_n make_v the_o jewish_a fable_n nor_o the_o turkish_a alcoran_n any_o part_n of_o their_o creed_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o a_o little_a further_o sheep_n love_n to_o be_v among_o their_o fellow_n thus_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v with_o good_a man_n who_o shall_v love_v the_o company_n one_o of_o another_o if_o a_o sheep_n stray_v he_o never_o return_v again_o of_o himself_o but_o lie_v liable_a to_o all_o danger_n unless_o the_o shepherd_n bring_v he_o home_o so_o good_a man_n when_o they_o fall_v into_o error_n can_v be_v bring_v home_n but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o do_v not_o use_v to_o bind_v sheep_n in_o chain_n but_o they_o go_v free_o of_o themselves_o with_o no_o less_o willingness_n ought_v all_o christian_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n when_o the_o sheep_n be_v pursue_v by_o the_o wolf_n she_o have_v nothing_o to_o defend_v herself_o withal_o thus_o neither_o have_v christian_n any_o strength_n of_o their_o own_o to_o resist_v the_o devil_n but_o what_o they_o have_v from_o their_o spiritual_a armoury_n mention_v ephes_n 6._o sheep_n be_v often_o trouble_v with_o weak_a and_o infirm_a head_n have_v nothing_o of_o craft_n or_o subtlety_n in_o they_o neither_o can_v

god_n in_o all_o age_n have_v be_v please_v to_o exercise_v his_o church_n with_o many_o affliction_n and_o calamity_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o sheep_n that_o be_v
