lykeeh_o of_o afterward_o he_o must_v reform_v we_o and_o so_o guide_v and_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o there_o may_v be_v one_o accord_n between_o our_o life_n and_o his_o law_n then_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n prepare_v good_a work_n after_o that_o fashion_n that_o be_v too_o say_v till_o he_o give_v we_o they_o by_o shewng_v we_o his_o will_n and_o also_o make_v we_o to_o do_v they_o by_o his_o power_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v utter_o unprofitable_a now_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o humble_a ourselves_o before_o god_n both_o for_o that_o be_v past_a and_o also_o for_o that_o that_o be_v too_o come_v for_o that_o which_o be_v past_a let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n have_v pluck_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n and_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n damn_v he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o have_v we_o too_o be_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o overween_a as_o too_o think_v that_o we_o have_v this_o or_o that_o but_o let_v he_o be_v glorify_v as_o he_o deserve_v and_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o have_v pull_v we_o back_o from_o death_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o beginning_n wellspring_n root_n and_o only_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n shall_v proceed_v of_o his_o only_a free_a bestow_v goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o true_a humility_n to_o give_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o salvation_n unto_o god_n and_o for_o that_o which_o be_v too_o come_v it_o behove_v too_o know_v that_o we_o can_v not_o stir_v one_o of_o our_o little_a finger_n too_o do_v any_o good_a except_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n and_o receive_v the_o good_a work_n themselves_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o feel_v our_o own_o weakness_n let_v we_o flee_v too_o he_o for_o refuge_n and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v any_o good_a let_v it_o not_o puff_n we_o up_o with_o any_o pride_n but_o let_v we_o always_o think_v ourselves_o so_o much_o the_o more_o strait_o bind_v unto_o god_n yea_o even_o by_o double_a he_o that_o be_v yet_o very_o weak_a must_v confess_v himself_o exceed_o bind_v unto_o god_n mercy_n for_o bear_v with_o he_o but_o he_o that_o go_v afore_o other_o and_o be_v as_o a_o mirror_n of_o all_o holiness_n must_v confess_v himself_o much_o more_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o why_o he_o have_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o he_o hold_v all_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o only_a free_a goodness_n wherefore_o let_v we_o all_o our_o

whensoever_o god_n give_v we_o good_a work_n although_o they_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o purchase_v we_o any_o thing_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o

behave_v themselves_o one_o toward_o another_o be_v sundry_a thing_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n leave_v slavery_n bondage_n or_o seruiship_n as_o it_o be_v and_o he_o exhort_v servant_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o fear_n and_o tremble_a that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o reverence_n yea_o and_o he_o add_v further_o with_o singleness_n of_o

of_o all_o that_o s._n paul_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o servant_n too_o seek_v the_o benefit_n &_o profit_n of_o their_o master_n and_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o obey_v they_o and_o too_o be_v forward_o in_o execute_v whatsoever_o be_v command_v they_o but_o he_o require_v reverence_n above_o all_o thing_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v servant_n understand_v that_o although_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v enforce_v nor_o chastise_v with_o whip_v when_o they_o do_v amiss_o but_o that_o they_o have_v gentle_a and_o meek_a master_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o ought_v too_o bear_v patient_o the_o state_n wherein_o they_o be_v assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n allow_v of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o superiority_n which_o their_o master_n have_v over_o they_o how_o hard_a and_o grievous_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v nevertheless_o ordain_v and_o establish_v of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n singleness_n for_o we_o be_v over_o witty_a in_o seek_v our_o own_o advantage_n and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o which_o be_v not_o a_o great_a doctor_n in_o matter_n concern_v his_o own_o profit_n why_o shall_v such_o a_o one_o say_v we_o

do_v purposely_o set_v down_o singleness_n of_o heart_n which_o serve_v too_o sift_v all_o affection_n and_o too_o overthrow_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n can_v devise_v too_o hinder_v themselves_o from_o do_v of_o their_o duty_n now_o he_o set_v down_o purposely_o these_o word_n as_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a foundation_n that_o we_o have_v too_o lean_a unto_o when_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o do_n of_o any_o duty_n towards_o man_n for_o if_o we_o stick_v too_o creature_n we_o will_v say_v come_v we_o not_o all_o out_o of_o the_o ark_n of_o no_o why_o shall_v

the_o mark_n therefore_o that_o all_o man_n shoot_v at_o be_v that_o every_o man_n will_v be_v a_o lord_n and_o no_o man_n admit_v any_o subjection_n and_o so_o it_o will_v needs_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o wild_a beast_n or_o rather_o as_o dog_n and_o cat_n as_o man_n say_v until_o we_o know_v that_o god_n like_v well_o of_o the_o seruis_fw-la that_o we_o do_v too_o creature_n if_o we_o be_v not_o thorough_o persuade_v of_o that_o we_o may_v well_o make_v some_o fair_a countenance_n and_o please_v man_n but_o out_o mind_n shall_v never_o be_v right_a and_o well_o dispose_v until_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n accept_v our_o seruis_fw-la but_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o cause_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o or_o rather_o
