for_o that_o day_n hire_v diverse_a fisherman_n to_o attend_v the_o bank_n with_o boat_n and_o net_n and_o to_o bring_v in_o plenty_n of_o fish_n and_o to_o lay_v it_o at_o his_o foot_n make_v

come_v thither_o cannius_n believe_v he_o and_o be_v much_o in_o love_n with_o such_o a_o commodity_n will_v needs_o have_v the_o garden_n and_o pay_v for_o it_o to_o the_o purpose_n short_o after_o he_o have_v a_o disposition_n to_o let_v some_o of_o his_o friend_n see_v what_o a_o purchase_n he_o have_v make_v and_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o garden_n to_o be_v merry_a make_v full_a account_n that_o the_o fisherman_n will_v be_v there_o both_o to_o show_v he_o pastime_n &_o to_o present_v he_o with_o a_o tribute_n of_o fish_n when_o he_o see_v neither_o boat_n nor_o fisherman_n nor_o net_n he_o ask_v his_o neighbour_n whether_o it_o where_o holiday_n with_o fisherman_n they_o answer_v none_o that_o they_o know_v of_o and_o add_v withal_o that_o they_o wonder_v at_o the_o late_a resort_n of_o fisherman_n there_o as_o a_o thing_n unusual_a in_o that_o place_n upon_o this_o cannius_n perceive_v he_o be_v cozen_v but_o it_o be_v too_o late_o he_o can_v not_o help_v it_o and_o thus_o may_v a_o heedless_a person_n be_v deceive_v in_o his_o dependence_n upon_o god_n ordinance_n he_o may_v meet_v with_o some_o crafty_a pythius_n for_o so_o be_v he_o call_v who_o deceive_v cannius_n who_o may_v commend_v a_o doctrine_n to_o he_o and_o set_v it_o out_o with_o many_o plausible_a term_n as_o if_o it_o be_v of_o such_o and_o such_o excellent_a use_n for_o a_o man_n soul_n which_o

point_n must_v needs_o be_v yield_v to_o namely_o that_o in_o receive_v of_o doctrine_n try_v aught_o to_o go_v before_o trust_v we_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v sure_a that_o which_o we_o intend_v to_o

to_o the_o recovery_n of_o three_o great_a evil_n which_o be_v very_a prevail_a and_o very_o universal_a in_o these_o our_o time_n 1_o wilfulness_n 2_o carelessness_n 3_o unskilfulness_n the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v a_o froward_a humour_n the_o second_o a_o negligent_a humour_n the_o three_o a_o sottish_a humour_n they_o be_v overcomne_v with_o the_o first_o who_o plead_v for_o their_o excuse_n in_o either_o not_o hear_v or_o not_o credit_v any_o who_o they_o hear_v the_o variety_n of_o opinion_n to_o be_v find_v among_o preacher_n and_o the_o possibility_n of_o be_v deceive_v by_o

try_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o error_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o many_o and_o the_o best_a learn_v may_v mistake_v therefore_o cease_v to_o hear_v but_o because_o it_o be_v thus_o be_v sure_a to_o try_v this_o bind_v to_o judicial_a hear_n it_o give_v no_o warrant_n to_o desist_v from_o hear_v will_v thou_o rather_o starve_v because_o of_o a_o possibility_n to_o be_v poison_v or_o go_v naked_a and_o near_o the_o wind_n because_o in_o the_o shop_n of_o they_o that_o sell_v thou_o may_v be_v cozen_v or_o lie_v down_o in_o the_o street_n or_o by_o the_o hedge_n because_o perhaps_o thou_o may_v either_o go_v wrong_a or_o stumble_v on_o the_o way_n our_o saviour_n will_v have_v his_o disciple_n learn_v and_o inquire_v and_o seek_v to_o be_v sure_o what_o he_o be_v though_o some_o say_v one_o thing_n some_o another_o touch_v he_o 15_o that_o i_o may_v be_v deceive_v must_v increase_v my_o care_n not_o overthrow_v my_o diligence_n now_o touch_v the_o second_o evil_a of_o carelessness_n it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o those_o who_o be_v apt_a to_o take_v all_o for_o sound_v &_o good_a which_o be_v deliver_v if_o they_o can_v countenance_v that_o which_o they_o seem_v to_o maintain_v with_o the_o name_n of_o a_o teacher_n or_o say_v it_o be_v deliver_v at_o a_o sermon_n they_o think_v it_o

speak_v it_o can_v we_o once_o work_v a_o conscience_n of_o this_o duty_n in_o our_o hearer_n many_o who_o do_v now_o despise_v our_o doctrine_n will_v then_o approve_v it_o and_o they_o which_o do_v

among_o the_o best_a professor_n to_o find_v a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o exercise_v wit_n to_o discern_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a 14_o a_o witty_a and_o ingenious_a man_n well_o speak_v and_o able_a

that_o after_o this_o long_a sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o this_o land_n there_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o who_o but_o as_o saint_n peter_n term_n be_v see_v glimmer_o and_o uncertaine_o like_o
