why_o that_o when_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v purposely_o say_v that_o god_n bliss_v they_o in_o their_o offspring_n in_o their_o cattle_n in_o

he_o then_o if_o god_n make_v not_o we_o now_o to_o prosper_v so_o much_o to_o the_o worldward_o we_o must_v not_o be_v grieve_v at_o it_o for_o our_o state_n be_v not_o worse_a than_o the_o state_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

the_o sovereign_n good_a thing_n it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a and_o perfect_a happiness_n no_o it_o come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o but_o we_o must_v also_o add_v the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_o

adays_o our_o life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o may_v run_v to_o the_o heritage_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v then_o but_o in_o shadow_n be_v too_o be_v confirm_v by_o visible_a benefit_n but_o now_o we_o have_v the_o substance_n the_o shadow_n and_o figure_n be_v past_a we_o have_v the_o body_n of_o they_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n give_v we_o and_o refer_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o guide_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v be_v content_v with_o the_o life_n that_o we_o have_v live_v whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a man_n and_o full_a satisfy_v with_o day_n it_o be_v to_o express_v the_o temporal_a blessing_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v neither_o job_n nor_o abraham_n nor_o such_o other_o like_o will_v ever_o have_v be_v satisfy_v with_o live_v in_o this_o world_n if_o they_o have_v not_o amed_z at_o a_o better_a and_o more_o excellent_a end_n you_o see_v they_o how_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v prolong_v their_o life_n to_o the_o end_n to_o give_v they_o the_o long_a experience_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o now_o so_o

dispose_v ourselves_o to_o die_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v go_v hence_o with_o a_o glad_a heart_n &_o not_o with_o gnash_v of_o our_o tooth_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n yet_o will_v they_o fain_o tarry_v here_o beneath_o still_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o hope_v but_o of_o this_o present_a life_n &_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o death_n dispatch_v all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v never_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n contrariwise_o the_o father_n of_o

to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o

then_o that_o we_o must_v always_o be_v satisfy_v with_o life_n see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o so_o good_a a_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v not_o desire_v too_o have_v our_o life_n prolong_v here_o to_o the_o end_n to_o have_v a_o large_a confirmation_n thereof_o wherefore_o let_v we_o continual_o pray_v he_o that_o have_v guide_v we_o

that_o all_o perish_v for_o ever_o because_o none_o think_v of_o it_o he_o mean_v that_o man_n go_v on_o as_o brute_n beast_n without_o judgement_n without_o discretion_n without_o think_v upon_o

be_v so_o flightful_a we_o ought_v to_o have_v death_n always_o before_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v make_v haste_n thitherward_o and_o not_o be_v attach_v with_o fearfulness_n when_o

or_o because_o he_o have_v live_v naughty_o no_o god_n have_v no_o such_o respect_n with_o he_o what_o then_o he_o intend_v that_o job_n shall_v be_v a_o mirror_n to_o all_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o behold_v he_o we_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o know_v that_o god_n hand_n be_v too_o heavy_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v &_o also_o consider_v our_o own_o frailty_n

alas_o lord_n our_o life_n be_v but_o short_a and_o brittle_a there_o be_v nothing_o but_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n in_o we_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o thou_o forget_v we_o not_o deserve_v we_o that_o thou_o shall_v regard_v we_o be_v we_o worthy_a that_o thou_o shall_v visit_v we_o alas_o no_o lord_n for_o the_o very_a angel_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o that_o and_o how_o

all_o mean_n too_o bring_v we_o too_o repentance_n and_o lord_n what_o a_o goodness_n be_v that_o lo_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o speak_v the_o same_o also_o be_v to_o be_v say_v in_o this_o present_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

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
scorn_v too_o cast_v my_o cloak_n about_o i_o behold_v god_n declare_v unto_o we_o that_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v well_o clad_v he_o himself_o have_v clothe_v we_o with_o his_o own_o

i_o mean_v not_o only_o the_o magistrate_n which_o have_v so_o high_a and_o hard_a a_o charge_n but_o also_o they_o which_o have_v no_o more_o to_o govern_v but_o themselves_o and_o their_o

that_o we_o may_v well_o withhold_v ourselves_o from_o yldoing_a &_o that_o we_o may_v well_o have_v a_o fair_a show_n before_o man_n but_o that_o shall_v be_v nothing_o if_o there_o be_v any_o

thereunto_o so_o as_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n we_o may_v show_v that_o our_o will_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o how_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o we_o pretend_v a_o meaning_n to_o keep_v the_o same_o soundness_n within_o and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v why_o saint_n paul_n also_o exhort_v the_o galatian_n too_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n if_o they_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v very_o it_o behove_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o govern_v we_o for_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o have_v a_o gay_a life_n that_o please_v man_n and_o be_v have_v in_o great_a estimation_n unless_o we_o be_v renew_a by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n but_o what_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o walk_v that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o show_v in_o effect_n &_o by_o our_o work_n how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n reign_v in_o our_o mind_n for_o if_o our_o hand_n be_v stain_v with_o robbery_n with_o cruelty_n or_o with_o other_o annoyance_n if_o the_o eye_n be_v carry_v with_o lewd_a &_o unchaste_a look_n with_o covet_v other_o man_n good_n with_o pride_n or_o with_o vanity_n or_o if_o the_o foot_n as_o the_o

hand_n nor_o the_o eye_n that_o guide_v themselves_o the_o guide_n of_o they_o come_v of_o the_o mind_n &_o of_o the_o heart_n wherefore_o let_v we_o endeavour_n to_o have_v the_o say_a agreableness_n which_o the_o scripture_n show_v we_o when_o it_o say_v that_o job_n have_v this_o soundness_n &_o plain_a meaning_n do_v also_o live_v upright_o that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v conversant_a among_o his_o

why_o god_n prove_v whether_o we_o serve_v he_o faithful_o or_o no_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o have_v need_n of_o our_o service_n or_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v do_v but_o because_o that_o when_o we_o deal_v well_o with_o our_o neighbour_n so_o as_o we_o keep_v our_o faithfulness_n towards_o all_o man_n according_a as_o nature_n itself_o teach_v we_o in_o so_o do_v we_o yield_v

and_o to_o bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o they_o study_v to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o their_o neighbour_n a_o man_n shall_v perceive_v what_o they_o have_v in_o their_o heart_n for_o they_o seek_v their_o own_o advantage_n &_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o rake_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o beguile_v

that_o the_o rest_n be_v nothing_o worth_a true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o we_o can_v not_o live_v with_o our_o neighbour_n to_o do_v harm_n to_o none_o and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o all_o unless_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n for_o as_o for_o they_o that_o follow_v their_o own_o nature_n albeit_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o goodly_a virtue_n for_o so_o will_v

yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n &_o the_o regard_n of_o our_o neighbour_n be_v two_o several_a thing_n in_o likewise_o as_o god_n have_v distinguish_v they_o in_o his_o law_n at_o

this_o consist_v in_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o we_o deal_v with_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n among_o our_o neighbour_n mark_v i_o that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n and_o also_o that_o we_o

out_o of_o it_o he_o will_v clothe_v we_o with_o it_o again_o and_o here_o we_o see_v wherefore_o s._n paul_n when_o he_o have_v say_v that_o we_o must_v groan_v so_o longas_fw-la we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n add_v not_o for_o that_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v unclothe_v for_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v here_o still_o behold_v whereunto_o our_o nature_n drive_v we_o but_o because_o we_o know_v

to_o put_v it_o in_o ure_n to_o receive_v fruit_n by_o it_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v how_o every_o man_n shun_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o melancholic_a matter_n in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o death_n every_o man_n be_v grieve_v at_o it_o &_o fall_v into_o his_o dump_n nevertheless_o the_o case_n so_o stand_v that_o if_o man_n set_v not_o their_o mind_n upon_o

we_o now_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n it_o remain_v to_o see_v the_o conclusion_n that_o eliphas_n make_v here_o which_o be_v that_o he_o say_v to_o job_n

govern_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n &_o in_o make_v they_o to_o go_v to_o a_o better_a and_o a_o everlasting_a life_n eliphas_n then_o mean_v here_o to_o set_v man_n down_o in_o their_o own_o

this_o doctrine_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v both_o true_a and_o very_a profitable_a as_o how_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v chastise_v at_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v have_v a_o

afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o job_n friend_n undertake_v a_o evil_a case_n have_v notwithstanding_o good_a argument_n &_o good_a reason_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o misapply_v they_o nevertheless_o the_o doctrine_n be_v in_o itself_o both_o holy_a &_o profitable_a so_o if_o we_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v speak_v here_o we_o shall_v find_v good_a sentence_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o baldad_n pretend_v be_v to_o maintain_v that_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o punish_v man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o he_o and_o without_o question_n all_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o only_o good_a but_o also_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o other_o fault_n in_o it_o but_o that_o baldad_n will_v needs_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o person_n of_o job._n for_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o the_o intent_n of_o that_o holy_a man_n be_v not_o too_o blame_v god_n nor_o too_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o he_o but_o he_o make_v his_o moan_n that_o the_o misery_n which_o he_o have_v endure_v be_v to_o grievous_a and_o heavy_a for_o he_o consider_v his_o feebleness_n &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o glorify_v god_n still_o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o baldad_n have_v a_o evil_a case_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o here_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a &_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o receive_v it_o because_o it_o be_v fit_v for_o our_o edification_n like_a as_o when_o he_o say_v that_o such_o as_o plead_v after_o that_o sort_n against_o god_n do_v turmoil_n themselves_o like_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o air_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v leave_v the_o person_n of_o job_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o take_v the_o thing_n general_o that_o be_v contain_v here_o we_o hear_v how_o the_o wicked_a and_o unbeliever_n do_v spew_v out_o their_o

they_o can_v not_o reach_v so_o high_a with_o they_o as_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n show_v itself_o therein_o and_o so_o in_o this_o sentence_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o that_o when_o we_o hear_v these_o blasphemy_n against_o god_n we_o must_v not_o be_v dismay_v therefore_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o glorify_v god_n for_o he_o continue_v whole_a and_o sound_o as_o he_o be_v and_o man_n can_v abate_v his_o majesty_n though_o they_o rail_v at_o it_o with_o full_a mouth_n all_o be_v but_o wind_n and_o vanity_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n as_o touch_v the_o second_o let_v every_o of_o we_o learn_v to_o speak_v of_o god_n sober_o and_o with_o all_o reverence_n and_o humbleness_n so_o as_o we_o cast_v not_o forth_o such_o a_o wind_n as_o be_v mention_v

up_o themselves_o after_o that_o sort_n against_o he_o by_o cast_v for_o the_o proud_a and_o presumptuous_a word_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o if_o we_o have_v once_o settle_v that_o thing_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v we_o the_o same_o will_v hold_v we_o in_o true_a steadfastness_n and_o afterward_o when_o we_o speak_v after_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o cast_v forth_o goodly_a blast_n but_o god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v and_o magnify_v in_o all_o our_o talk_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o for_o the_o principal_a will_v god_n pervert_v judgement_n and_o right_a will_v the_o almighty_a overthrow_n justice_n here_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o yield_v god_n the_o

well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o grant_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o acknowledge_v he_o not_o to_o be_v righteous_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o the_o one_o of_o they_o must_v not_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o other_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v thing_n in_o god_n which_o can_v be_v divide_v one_o from_o another_o true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o behoove_v we_o too_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o goodness_n and_o the_o justice_n and_o the_o almightiness_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v god_n all_o these_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o he_o at_o once_o and_o they_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v himself_o or_o his_o very_a be_v then_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o be_v surmise_v not_o a_o lawless_a power_n in_o god_n as_o if_o he_o govern_v the_o world_n like_o a_o tyrant_n and_o use_v excess_n or_o cruelty_n but_o let_v we_o

true_a that_o this_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v partly_o hide_v from_o we_o so_o as_o we_o comprehend_v it_o not_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o his_o mightiness_n also_o and_o for_o

as_o concern_v the_o secret_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o man_n must_v learn_v to_o use_v modesty_n in_o they_o to_o be_v short_a our_o wisdom_n must_v be_v to_o harken_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o

in_o prison_n no_o man_n may_v deliver_v he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o wisdom_n in_o god_n which_o be_v over-high_a and_o secret_a for_o we_o very_o say_v he_o

but_o to_o give_v we_o some_o understanding_n of_o he_o but_o we_o be_v become_v stark_a dolt_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o let_v but_o our_o own_o unthankfulness_n and_o that_o we_o vousaf_v not_o to_o open_v our_o eye_n to_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n show_v we_o behold_v here_o a_o text_n which_o be_v well_o worth_a the_o mark_v and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o place_n only_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n glory_n show_v itself_o every_o where_o but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o heaven_n tell_v it_o forth_o the_o goodly_a order_n which_o we_o see_v between_o day_n &_o night_n
although_o man_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o it_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o maintain_v the_o order_n which_o he_o have_v set_v nevertheless_o he_o fail_v not_o afterward_o to_o bereave_v king_n and_o prince_n and_o their_o counsellor_n of_o wit_n &_o reason_n if_o he_o deal_v thus_o towards_o those_o on_o who_o he_o bestow_v his_o spirit_n extraordinary_o what_o shall_v betide_v too_o private_a person_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v modest_o and_o not_o to_o think_v ourselves_o so_o well_o appoint_v as_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o reason_n for_o god_n be_v able_a to_o bereave_v we_o of_o all_o true_a it_o be_v that_o now_o and_o then_o god_n will_v leave_v man_n wit_n and_o reason_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o shall_v take_v none_o effect_v as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o achitophel_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o be_v always_o a_o man_n of_o great_a advice_n as_o he_o be_v in_o deed_n and_o there_o be_v great_a policy_n in_o the_o counsel_n that_o he_o give_v to_o absalon_n well_o then_o you_o see_v that_o achitophel_n have_v a_o very_a politic_a wit_n of_o his_o own_o and_o god_n

achitophel_n be_v not_o believe_v we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n abridge_v the_o effect_n and_o force_v of_o they_o that_o be_v crafty_a and_o wily_a to_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n and_o sometime_o also_o he_o make_v they_o dull_a and_o doltish_a as_o job_n speak_v here_o even_o so_o likewise_o befall_v too_o private_a person_n if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o they_o how_o you_o shall_v

prosper_v not_o and_o why_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o man_n wisdom_n and_o make_v it_o to_o no_o purpose_n therefore_o when_o this_o befall_v we_o perceive_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n howbeit_o it_o may_v also_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o man_n which_o be_v very_o politic_a and_o of_o great_a forecast_n shall_v do_v so_o fond_a a_o act_n as_o shall_v

gross_a a_o folly_n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o god_n have_v wrought_v it_o so_o then_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v if_o god_n give_v we_o wit_n and_o wisdom_n â–ª_o first_o let_v we_o use_v it_o as_o we_o ought_v too_o do_v that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o not_o apply_v our_o wit_n unto_o evil_n to_o beguile_v man_n to_o deal_v deceitful_o with_o they_o nor_o to_o do_v they_o harm_n or_o hindrance_n but_o let_v it_o serve_v to_o maintain_v goodness_n and_o too_o repress_v evil_a and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o still_o pray_v god_n to_o establish_v the_o wit_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v no_o continual_a heritage_n but_o god_n have_v need_v too_o continue_v his_o grace_n as_o he_o have_v begoone_v it_o for_o we_o may_v be_v utter_o bereave_v of_o it_o too_o day_n ere_o to_o morrow_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o my_o god_n thou_o haste_v assist_v i_o and_o i_o be_o so_o much_o the_o

the_o wit_n of_o those_o which_o be_v well_o advise_v before_o make_v they_o too_o grope_v as_o in_o the_o dark_a in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v both_o blind_a and_o drunken_a and_o the_o power_n that_o they_o have_v to_o fore_n be_v vanish_v away_o and_o they_o be_v become_v nothing_o so_o that_o if_o god_n list_v they_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o utter_v decay_n when_o we_o hear_v this_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

for_o we_o be_v void_a of_o all_o goodness_n and_o be_v give_v too_o nothing_o but_o evil_a and_o if_o we_o lie_v god_n law_n to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v find_v a_o deadly_a battle_n

it_o nevertheless_o for_o all_o their_o grudge_n yet_o be_v their_o mouth_n stop_v forsomuchas_fw-es their_o own_o conscience_n do_v so_o condemn_v they_o as_o there_o need_v none_o other_o man_n to_o

so_o forasmuchas_o our_o lord_n give_v we_o our_o lesson_n in_o his_o law_n &_o command_v we_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o be_v contain_v there_o although_o the_o same_o do_v far_o pass_v all_o our_o

the_o law_n be_v not_o so_o perfect_a and_o peerless_a a_o thing_n as_o be_v the_o say_v infinite_a rightfulness_n of_o god_n according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o by_o that_o he_o

of_o his_o natural_a wit_n assure_v himself_o that_o that_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n for_o man_n to_o purchase_v estimation_n by_o but_o that_o he_o ought_v too_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o

of_o thy_o word_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v then_o well_o handle_v when_o it_o give_v we_o courage_n to_o go_v forward_a and_o strengthen_v our_o feebleness_n

because_o that_o in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o be_v stranger_n from_o god_n all_o that_o be_v in_o they_o be_v but_o death_n and_o utter_a confusion_n god_n then_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o death_n unto_o himself_o as_o the_o point_n whereat_o he_o must_v begin_v too_o make_v his_o word_n available_a in_o we_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n let_v we_o see_v what_o strength_n

thereunto_o and_o if_o i_o play_v the_o niggard_n in_o that_o behalf_n god_n can_v well_o show_v that_o i_o be_o but_o as_o a_o steward_n of_o their_o good_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o i_o to_o

that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o but_o yet_o therewithal_o let_v we_o so_o deal_v as_o other_o man_n also_o may_v feel_v of_o it_o and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v like_o wild_a beast_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o sentence_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o too_o cruel_a the_o very_a necessity_n themselves_o ought_v too_o move_v we_o to_o succour_v our_o neighbour_n and_o true_o though_o we_o have_v neither_o law_n write_v nor_o the_o prophet_n nor_o aught_o else_o be_v not_o nature_n

not_o be_v we_o not_o as_o ill_a or_o worse_o than_o brute_n beast_n so_o then_o let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o for_o we_o may_v perchance_o allege_v this_o and_o that_o but_o no_o ignorance_n can_v

here_o follow_v that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o god_n show_v himself_o cruel_a towards_o job._n now_o when_o he_o speak_v so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o accuse_v god_n of_o unrighteousness_n but_o to_o show_v the_o extremity_n of_o the_o pain_n that_o he_o feel_v then_o if_o we_o be_v torment_v with_o any_o excessive_a rigour_n we_o may_v well_o term_v the_o same_o a_o

in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v press_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n do_v feel_v so_o terrible_a anguish_n as_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v express_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o david_n in_o bewail_v the_o affliction_n that_o god_n lay_v upon_o he_o use_v these_o similitude_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o deep_n that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o more_o light_n leave_v he_o and_o that_o his_o bone_n be_v as_o it_o be_v rot_v that_o the_o maree_o of_o they_o be_v

more_o remedy_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o his_o speak_v so_o be_v to_o express_v the_o vehemency_n of_o the_o greese_z wherewith_o the_o poor_a faithful_a one_o be_v oppress_v when_o they_o feel_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o if_o our_o mind_n misgive_v we_o that_o god_n be_v against_o we_o that_o pass_v all_o misery_n and_o the_o more_o that_o we_o fear_v it_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v our_o distress_n and_o torment_n increase_v for_o the_o unbeliever_n the_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o all_o heathenish_a folk_n be_v as_o it_o be_v blockish_a look_v upon_o a_o man_n that_o be_v harden_v in_o evil_a and_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o all_o religion_n well_o then_o if_o god_n scourge_v he_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v enforce_v to_o cry_v alas_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o look_v not_o to_o the_o hand_n which_o strike_v he_o he_o feel_v the_o stripe_n but_o he_o think_v not_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o strike_v whereas_o the_o faithful_a because_o they_o know_v that_o all_o their_o welfare_n consist_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o in_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n do_v comfort_n themselves_o therewith_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o their_o adversity_n but_o if_o god_n seem_v to_o become_v their_o enemy_n or_o to_o have_v shake_v they_o of_o or_o to_o have_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o they_o although_o they_o be_v otherwise_o at_o their_o ease_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n sell_v out_o as_o they_o will_v have_v they_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o conceive_v such_o a_o hartgrief_n as_o they_o know_v not_o where_o to_o

ezechias_n to_o find_v fault_n with_o god_n or_o to_o stand_v in_o contention_n against_o he_o no._n why_o do_v he_o they_o liken_v he_o so_o to_o a_o lion_n and_o a_o wild_a beast_n that_o come_v to_o swallow_v up_o a_o prey_n &_o to_o crash_n and_o break_v all_o asunder_o it_o be_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o to_o express_v the_o fear_n wherewith_o the_o poor_a faithful_a one_o be_v torment_v when_o they_o feel_v god_n wrath_n and_o perceive_v their_o own_o sin_n and_o see_v that_o he_o show_v himself_o their_o judge_n for_o than_o must_v they_o needs_o be_v possess_v with_o such_o anguish_n as_o surmount_v all_o bodily_a harm_n so_o therefore_o whereas_o job_n complain_v that_o god_n be_v turn_v against_o he_o with_o cruelty_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o god_n pass_v measure_n or_o that_o he_o use_v any_o tyranny_n or_o that_o he_o be_v unrightuous_a but_o he_o express_v the_o grief_n and_o the_o excess_n of_o the_o misery_n wherein_o he_o be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v

which_o have_v give_v his_o eye_n to_o vanity_n be_v condemn_v for_o a_o sinner_n and_o a_o wicked_a man_n before_o god_n notwithstanding_o that_o he_o have_v not_o consent_v full_o unto_o it_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v job_n time_n for_o although_o we_o know_v not_o whither_o he_o live_v before_o the_o law_n or_o no_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o live_v

who_o have_v the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n shine_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o highnoone_n day_n for_o behold_v jesus_n christ_n with_o his_o gospel_n bring_v usso_n great_a light_n as_o we_o have_v

show_v we_o too_o the_o full_a how_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v excuse_v if_o we_o know_v no_o more_o than_o job_n know_v and_o herein_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v how_o great_a and_o horrible_a god_n vengeance_n be_v in_o the_o popedom_n see_v that_o those_o beast_n dare_v deny_v that_o a_o man_n sin_v when_o he_o be_v so_o tempt_v unto_o evil_a &_o have_v such_o provocation_n in_o he_o and_o

of_o that_o we_o have_v do_v nevertheless_o know_v this_o well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o look_v more_o near_o to_o ourselves_o &_o see_v that_o god_n have_v grant_v we_o such_o grace_n &_o privilege_n as_o to_o make_v his_o truth_n much_o more_o know_v unto_o we_o than_o it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n let_v we_o be_v watchful_a &_o assoon_o as_o we_o open_v our_o eye_n &_o espy_v

from_o above_o true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n can_v justify_v we_o but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o appear_v before_o god_n who_o will_v judge_v of_o the_o matter_n far_o otherwise_o and_o job_n

judgement_n &_o the_o opinion_n that_o we_o can_v purchase_v afore_o man_n you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n may_v justify_v we_o in_o all_o point_n and_o not_o know_v our_o filthiness_n and_o poverty_n by_o reason_n whereof_o we_o shall_v be_v take_v for_o little_a angel_n and_o thereupon_o think_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o amiss_o in_o we_o but_o what_o have_v we_o gain_v by_o it_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o behold_v how_o job_n call_v we_o up_o above_o very_o well_o true_a it_o be_v that_o sinner_n may_v perchance_o clear_v themselves_o and_o easy_o be_v allow_v among_o man_n for_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o virtue_n to_o outward_a appearance_n but_o they_o must_v come_v up_o aloft_o and_o there_o will_v god_n overthrow_v all_o the_o vain_a opinion_n that_o have_v

and_o it_o serve_v to_o wound_n we_o the_o more_o to_o the_o quick_a by_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o sin_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o stand_v not_o upon_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o

we_o here_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o show_v whereunto_o that_o example_n ought_v too_o serve_v we_o name_o that_o when_o we_o see_v god_n truth_n deface_v and_o his_o name_n blaspheme_v the_o same_o ought_v to_o wound_v our_o heart_n also_o i_o show_v that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o affection_n to_o god_n and_o his_o honour_n then_o must_v we_o maintain_v his_o truth_n to_o the_o

then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o a_o man_n thrust_v himself_o forth_o rash_o without_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o he_o to_o speak_v or_o no_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v

be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o for_o one_o point_n and_o further_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o too_o make_v comparison_n here_o between_o two_o degree_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o if_o it_o be_v god_n that_o give_v special_a understanding_n unto_o man_n too_o discern_v thing_n that_o pertain_v too_o this_o transitory_a life_n what_o be_v too_o be_v say_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o true_a and_o pure_a religion_n have_v we_o those_o of_o nature_n can_v we_o purchase_v those_o by_o our_o own_o travel_n alas_o we_o must_v needs_o come_v far_o too_o short_a if_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n be_v a_o good_a school_n master_n too_o teach_v child_n or_o a_o good_a advocate_n or_o physician_n or_o a_o good_a merchant_n of_o a_o city_n or_o a_o good_a labourer_n in_o the_o country_n it_o be_v continual_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o work_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n a_o man_n shall_v have_v need_n too_o be_v sharp_a witted_a in_o some_o one_o thing_n more_o than_o in_o some_o other_o like_v as_o there_o be_v require_v a_o great_a skill_n in_o some_o handicraft_n than_o in_o merchandise_n now_o then_o even_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n which_o seem_v too_o be_v common_a and_o of_o no_o value_n in_o themselves_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o distribute_v his_o holy_a spirit_n unto_o man_n but_o if_o we_o come_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o wisdom_n that_o surmount_v all_o man_n understanding_n yea_o and_o be_v wonderful_a even_o too_o the_o very_a angel_n they_o be_v the_o very_a secret_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o concern_v the_o know_v of_o god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n and_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v down_o here_o beneath_o yet_o must_v we_o comprehend_v his_o godly_a majesty_n or_o else_o we_o can_v not_o ground_n and_o seetle_n our_o faith_n in_o he_o i_o say_v it_o concern_v the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o man_n nature_n now_o if_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o deal_v his_o spirit_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o handicraft_n and_o worldly_a

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 against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n oftentimes_o it_o dazzle_v our_o eye_n and_o we_o be_v amaze_v at_o it_o yea_o but_o here_o be_v a_o text_n which_o ought_v too_o arm_v we_o against_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
blasphemy_n to_o persuade_v the_o world_n to_o despise_v god_n &_o his_o word_n if_o a_o evil_a case_n be_v maintain_v or_o if_o man_n go_v about_o to_o overthrow_v right_a let_v we_o not_o be_v

which_o be_v print_v in_o his_o heart_n unto_o those_o over_o who_o god_n have_v give_v he_o charge_n so_o then_o will_v we_o serve_v god_n pure_o in_o our_o office_n it_o behove_v we_o first_o and_o for_o most_o too_o bridle_v our_o tongue_n that_o they_o speak_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v print_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o sure_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v by_o david_n

that_o man_n must_v stop_v their_o eye_n and_o have_v no_o reason_n at_o all_o in_o
they_o but_o contrariwise_o god_n will_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v both_o skill_n and_o discretion_n that_o we_o be_v not_o abuse_v and_o seduce_v by_o the_o false_a doctrine_n that_o man_n

that_o send_v i_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o always_o too_o search_v to_o what_o end_n the_o man_n tend_v that_o speak_v unto_o we_o for_o if_o we_o see_v that_o the_o mark_n which_o he_o shoot_v at_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v and_o reign_v over_o all_o man_n there_o must_v be_v no_o more_o dispute_v against_o he_o but_o we_o must_v rest_v full_o there_o but_o on_o the_o

as_o it_o build_v we_o not_o up_o to_o be_v the_o true_a temple_n of_o god_n or_o if_o it_o ground_n we_o not_o upon_o god_n too_o remit_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o too_o call_v upon_o he_o

fore_o cumber_v in_o that_o case_n if_o god_n have_v not_o first_o of_o all_o show_v we_o what_o manner_n of_o one_o this_o rightness_n be_v but_o if_o we_o have_v once_o the_o principle_n that_o he_o

and_o according_a to_o his_o good_a will_n he_o will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v utter_o abse_z and_o bereave_v of_o the_o trust_n of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n wisdom_n and_o strength_n he_o will_v

only_o let_v we_o open_v our_o eye_n and_o therewithal_o pray_v god_n to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o wander_v and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o

god_n secret_n they_o be_v spiritual_a and_o we_o of_o our_o nature_n be_v fleshly_a and_o earthly_a and_o we_o always_o bear_v downward_a but_o if_o god_n enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n then_o do_v we_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discern_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o can_v be_v deceive_v by_o all_o satan_n temptation_n and_o although_o he_o send_v we_o deceiver_n &_o

as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o furthermore_o although_o god_n do_v sometime_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wicked_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n

to_o preach_v god_n word_n ought_v so_o much_o the_o better_a too_o practise_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o learn_v well_o themselves_o before_o they_o teach_v other_o so_o as_o their_o heart_n may_v speak_v before_o their_o mouth_n for_o the_o bring_n hereof_o too_o pass_v let_v they_o pray_v god_n so_o to_o touch_v they_o too_o the_o quick_a as_o they_o may_v

at_o adventure_n but_o that_o they_o be_v draw_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n eliu_n protest_v that_o he_o be_v a_o transitory_a and_o frail_a man_n so_o that_o he_o can_v make_v job_n afraid_a nevertheless_o will_v he_o not_o win_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o by_o reason_n and_o truth_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a point_n by_o the_o way_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v the_o manner_n of_o speech_n that_o be_v use_v here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v create_v he_o and_o that_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o almighty_a have_v give_v he_o life_n and_o further_o that_o he_o be_v but_o mire_n and_o clay_n true_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v of_o all_o man_n for_o if_o we_o can_v bear_v well_o in_o mind_n that_o which_o be_v show_v here_o undoubted_o all_o pride_n will_v be_v bury_v in_o we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n do_v glory_n so_o much_o in_o themselves_o and_o be_v so_o full_a of_o overween_a but_o first_o for_o that_o they_o know_v not_o their_o own_o original_a beginning_n and_o second_o for_o that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o consider_v in_o good_a earnest_n that_o look_v whatsoever_o they_o have_v they_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o heritage_n unto_o they_o but_o that_o they_o have_v their_o life_n &_o all_o the_o appurtenance_n thereof_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o preserve_v they_o then_o if_o man_n can_v first_o consider_v from_o whence_o they_o come_v and_o second_o that_o whatsoever_o goodness_n be_v in_o they_o they_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n mere_a grace_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v right_o meekn_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v fashion_v of_o mire_n and_o clay_n now_o let_v we_o go_v boast_v ourselves_o and_o make_v
as_o great_a vaunt_n as_o we_o listen_v &_o yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o change_v our_o nature_n wherefore_o when_o a_o man_n feel_v himself_o tempt_v with_o pride_n so_o as_o he_o will_v exalt_v himself_o to_o much_o let_v he_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o consider_v from_o whence_o he_o come_v and_o out_o of_o what_o thing_n god_n take_v he_o if_o but_o only_o our_o foot_n be_v

and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o be_v make_v of_o clay_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o so_o too_o forget_v our_o pedigree_n from_o whence_o we_o come_v namely_o that_o we_o be_v but_o earth_n

up_o with_o ignorance_n and_o have_v forget_v themselves_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o weigh_v well_o this_o speech_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v create_v of_o

wickedness_n and_o turn_v we_o not_o hither_o and_o thither_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o must_v be_v quiet_a to_o hear_v all_o that_o god_n will_v have_v say_v to_o the_o

that_o eliphas_n handle_v here_o shall_v man_n be_v rightuous_a than_o god_n and_o shall_v man_n be_v more_o righteous_a than_o his_o maker_n behold_v he_o find_v no_o steadfastness_n or_o truth_n in_o his_o servant_n he_o have_v judge_v that_o there_o be_v folly_n or_o vanity_n in_o his_o angel_n and_o how_o shall_v they_o do_v then_o which_o dwell_v in_o house_n of_o clay_n in_o the_o first_o place_n here_o eliphas_n set_v down_o the_o sentence_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o theme_n that_o he_o ground_v himself_o upon_o that_o be_v to_o with_o that_o it_o be_v a_o unreasonableness_n in_o man_n to_o desire_v to_o glorify_v themselves_o in_o comparison_n of_o their_o maker_n must_v not_o man_n needs_o be_v destitute_a of_o wit_n and_o reason_n when_o they_o will_v so_o glorify_v themselves_o in_o compare_v themselves_o with_o god_n lo_o here_o his_o theme_n or_o ground_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o man_n can_v not_o easy_o abide_v to_o have_v their_o own_o authority_n condemn_v behold_v here_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o add_v too_o confirm_v his_o doctrine_n which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v examine_v his_o angel_n he_o shall_v find_v fault_n in_o they_o and_o he_o shall_v not_o find_v they_o steadfast_a but_o they_o shall_v perceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v vain_a and_o weak_a creature_n now_o if_o the_o angel_n be_v such_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o man_n which_o dwell_v in_o house_n of_o clay_n for_o what_o be_v our_o body_n what_o foundation_n have_v it_o what_o firmness_n so_o ever_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o it_o there_o need_v but_o one_o little_a shower_n of_o rain_n too_o wash_v it_o quite_o away_o then_o sith_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o now_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o can_v not_o stand_v in_o god_n presence_n if_o we_o come_v thither_o presume_v to_o bring_v any_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o consider_v that_o the_o very_a angel_n be_v not_o able_a too_o do_v that_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o here_o but_o we_o have_v too_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o mention_n that_o be_v make_v here_o of_o angel_n some_o imagine_v it_o too_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o find_v his_o angel_n thorough_o righteous_a have_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v here_o concern_v those_o angel_n that_o continue_v in_o their_o obedience_n to_o god_n but_o of_o those_o that_o be_v fall_v and_o become_v renegate_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v once_o god_n angel_n but_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o state_n wherein_o god_n have_v create_v they_o but_o fall_v a_o horrible_a fall_n in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v the_o mirror_n of_o damnation_n we_o see_v then_o after_o what_o manner_n diverse_a have_v expound_v this_o text_n namely_o that_o see_v there_o be_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o these_o angel_n which_o fall_v what_o be_v to_o be_v look_v for_o in_o man_n who_o foundation_n be_v of_o clay_n but_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v out_o force_v exposition_n to_o magnify_v the_o angel_n for_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o god_n servant_n and_o the_o title_n be_v honourable_a eliphas_n will_v not_o have_v say_v god_n have_v not_o find_v steadfastness_n in_o his_o servant_n but_o he_o will_v have_v say_v behold_v the_o devil_n which_o be_v heretofore_o appoint_v too_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o now_o they_o be_v fall_v after_o such_o a_o horrible_a fashion_n that_o by_o their_o fall_n all_o thing_n be_v bring_v into_o a_o waver_a in_o so_o much_o that_o even_a mankind_n also_o be_v come_v to_o the_o like_a perdition_n and_o be_v draw_v into_o the_o self_n same_o decay_n eliphas_n will_v have_v speak_v so_o but_o he_o say_v god_n find_v no_o truth_n in_o his_o angel_n he_o find_v folly_n or_o vanity_n he_o say_v not_o that_o he_o find_v rebellion_n or_o backeslide_n but_o he_o say_v only_a vanity_n which_o be_v a_o great_a manner_n of_o speech_n so_o then_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v no_o doubt_n but_o eliphas_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o angel_n that_o serve_v god_n and_o give_v themselves_o whole_o thereunto_o and_o what_o mean_v he_o then_o by_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o steadfastness_n but_o rather_o vanity_n and_o unsteadfastness_n in_o they_o when_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o there_o be_v none_o immortal_a but_o only_a god_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o exclude_v all_o creature_n and_o yet_o we_o know_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v immortal_a spirit_n for_o god_n have_v create_v they_o of_o purpose_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o any_o more_o return_n to_o nothing_o no_o more_o than_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n may_v at_o any_o time_n die_v how_o then_o shall_v we_o make_v these_o sentence_n agree_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v create_v to_o live_v everlasting_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o immortal_a but_o only_a god_n the_o solution_n be_v very_o easy_a for_o the_o angel_n be_v immortal_a because_o they_o be_v sustain_v by_o power_n from_o above_o and_o because_o god_n maintain_v they_o who_o be_v the_o immortal_a nature_n itself_o and_o the_o very_a fountain_n of_o life_n be_v in_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n oh_o lord_n the_o fountain_n of_o life_n dwell_v in_o thou_o and_o in_o thy_o light_n shall_v we_o see_v light_n then_o see_v there_o be_v no_o life_n but_o in_o god_n only_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o the_o spread_a of_o life_n into_o all_o creature_n because_o it_o proceed_v of_o his_o grace_n we_o perceive_v how_o the_o angel_n be_v immortal_a and_o yet_o have_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o themselves_o but_o have_v need_n of_o god_n to_o strengthen_v they_o by_o his_o mere_a goodness_n without_o this_o the_o thing_n will_v happen_v unto_o they_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o four_o psalm_n which_o say_v when_o thou_o withdraw_v thy_o spirit_n all_o decay_v what_o be_v it_o then_o that_o give_v liveliness_n to_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o we_o see_v they_o have_v not_o that_o thing_n of_o themselves_o which_o be_v give_v they_o of_o god_n neither_o
can_v they_o enjoy_v it_o for_o ever_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o continue_v the_o say_a grace_n which_o he_o have_v put_v into_o they_o and_o like_v as_o we_o speak_v of_o life_n so_o must_v we_o speak_v of_o righteousness_n also_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o steadfast_a further_o forth_o than_o god_n hold_v they_o up_o by_o his_o hand_n right_o be_v they_o call_v principality_n &_o power_n but_o that_o be_v because_o god_n execute_v his_o power_n by_o they_o and_o guide_v they_o to_o be_v short_a the_o angel_n have_v nothing_o in_o themselves_o whereof_o to_o make_v their_o boast_n for_o all_o the_o power_n and_o steadfastness_n which_o they_o have_v they_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o indebt_v to_o he_o for_o it_o as_o touch_v that_o which_o follow_v namely_o that_o god_n find_v or_o put_v for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n import_v that_o god_n put_v folly_n or_o vanity_n it_o imply_v not_o that_o the_o vanity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o angel_n come_v of_o god_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o he_o put_v it_o to_o they_o or_o charge_v they_o with_o it_o by_o his_o judgement_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o as_o a_o judge_n he_o give_v sentence_n that_o there_o be_v folly_n &_o vanity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v faultiness_n in_o the_o angel_n yea_o &_o that_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v before_o he_o if_o he_o will_v deal_v rigorous_o with_o they_o very_o this_o seem_v strange_a to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o exercise_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o if_o we_o wist_v what_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v we_o shall_v not_o marvel_v that_o the_o angel_n themselves_o be_v find_v to_o be_v faulty_a if_o he_o shall_v compare_v they_o with_o himself_o for_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n be_v small_a in_o estimation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o god_n which_o be_v utter_o infinite_a therefore_o we_o must_v always_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o &_o the_o other_o we_o see_v the_o angel_n have_v wonderful_a power_n &_o virtue_n special_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o for_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o angel_n abide_v in_o the_o degree_n of_o creature_n yet_o may_v we_o well_o glorify_v they_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n the_o greatness_n of_o he_o must_v swallow_v up_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o likewise_o as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o sun_n darken_v all_o the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n and_o what_o be_v the_o sun_n he_o be_v a_o planet_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o because_o god_n have_v grant_v that_o creature_n to_o have_v more_o brightness_n than_o the_o other_o star_n all_o of_o they_o must_v needs_o he_o overshadow_a so_o as_o no_o star_n can_v be_v pereeyve_v when_o the_o sun_n have_v his_o full_a power_n and_o what_o will_v be_v do_v they_o when_o god_n himself_o come_v forth_o as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v there_o shall_v be_v neither_o sun_n nor_o moon_n any_o more_o but_o the_o brightness_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v see_v &_o know_v over_o all_o when_o isaiah_n speak_v of_o god_n kingdom_n he_o show_v that_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v away_o &_o nothing_o be_v glorify_v but_o only_a god_n see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o refer_v it_o also_o to_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n find_v lack_n in_o his_o angel_n although_o they_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o let_v but_o that_o the_o service_n which_o the_o angel_n do_v unto_o god_n be_v perfect_a according_a to_o the_o perfection_n that_o can_v be_v in_o creature_n likewise_o as_o in_o that_o respect_n when_o in_o pray_v we_o desire_v god_n that_o his_o will_n may_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n we_o witness_v that_o there_o be_v no_o untowardness_n in_o the_o obedience_n which_o the_o angel_n yield_v unto_o he_o but_o that_o he_o reign_v in_o they_o after_o such_o a_o peaceable_a manner_n as_o they_o be_v whole_o conformable_a to_o his_o will._n but_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o go_v no_o further_o but_o to_o the_o degree_n &_o state_n of_o creature_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o perfection_n in_o the_o angel_n very_o such_o perfection_n as_o may_v be_v in_o creature_n but_o come_v we_o once_o unto_o god_n the_o say_a perfection_n be_v as_o it_o be_v swallow_v up_o like_v as_o the_o star_n appear_v not_o any_o any_o more_o when_o the_o sun_n give_v his_o light_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o how_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v to_o gather_v together_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o thereby_o he_o show_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v their_o steadfastness_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o his_o creature_n true_a it_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n redeem_v not_o the_o angel_n for_o they_o need_v not_o to_o be_v ransom_v from_o death_n whereunto_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o fall_v but_o yet_o be_v he_o their_o mediator_n and_o how_o so_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o join_v they_o unto_o god_n in_o all_o perfection_n &_o afterward_o to_o maintain_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n that_o they_o may_v be_v preserve_v from_o fall_v now_o see_v that_o god_n find_v faultiness_n in_o his_o angel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v no_o steadfastness_n in_o they_o further_o than_o they_o be_v maintain_v from_o above_o what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o we_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o that_o which_o eliphas_n add_v be_v man_n of_o such_o glory_n yea_o or_o of_o such_o power_n as_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n let_v their_o case_n be_v consider_v for_o how_o be_v we_o create_v we_o dwell_v in_o corruptible_a &_o

by_o then_o if_o the_o case_n stand_v between_o god_n and_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v good_a regard_n to_o the_o one_o side_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n unto_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o understand_v not_o his_o mighty_a power_n as_o appertain_v but_o the_o angel_n which_o be_v now_o much_o near_o to_o he_o than_o we_o be_v &_o which_o behold_v his_o face_n have_v no_o such_o
