he_o will_v not_o keep_v from_o we_o therefore_o we_o must_v open_v the_o way_n too_o they_o by_o pray_v and_o yet_o saint_n paul_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o too_o say_v that_o our_o faith_n must_v be_v match_v with_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n too_o our_o god_n but_o he_o say_v also_o yea_o all_o prayer_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o in_o all_o matter_n in_o all_o thing_n both_o great_a and_o small_a in_o all_o our_o do_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v that_o must_v be_v our_o sheet-anchor_n for_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o we_o will_v call_v upon_o god_n only_o when_o we_o think_v on_o he_o or_o else_o when_o we_o have_v some_o matter_n of_o importance_n in_o hand_n but_o saint_n paul_n as_o i_o say_v will_v have_v we_o too_o do_v god_n that_o homage_n every_o where_o and_o at_o all_o time_n protest_v that_o we_o can_v have_v any_o good_a but_o at_o his_o hand_n and_o of_o his_o mere_a free_a gift_n so_o much_o import_v the_o word_n all._n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n take_v charge_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n with_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v seek_v too_o he_o even_o for_o the_o bace_a thing_n and_o for_o such_o as_o we_o dare_v not_o require_v of_o our_o friend_n that_o be_v our_o equal_a and_o companion_n even_o those_o thing_n will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o ask_v of_o he_o for_o under_o this_o say_n that_o he_o give_v we_o our_o

be_v so_o let_v we_o remember_v well_o this_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n which_o will_v we_o too_o pray_v too_o our_o god_n for_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o deed_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o

whereas_o he_o say_v in_o spirit_n it_o be_v sure_o too_o exclude_v all_o hypocrisy_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n babble_v enough_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v unto_o god_n howbeit_o it_o be_v but_o their_o lip_n or_o the_o tip_n of_o their_o tongue_n that_o do_v their_o duty_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o manner_n that_o god_n will_v be_v pray_v unto_o and_o call_v upon_o he_o like_v not_o of_o such_o supplication_n but_o rather_o abhor_v they_o because_o that_o when_o we_o pray_v so_o fond_o unto_o he_o we_o make_v a_o false_a shroud_a sheet_n of_o he_o and_o that_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o treachery_n for_o if_o we_o think_v too_o be_v hear_v of_o god_n for_o our_o babble_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n our_o heart_n be_v dead_a and_o our_o prayer_n proceed_v not_o of_o a_o right_a dispozed_a and_o earnest_a mind_n we_o make_v god_n as_o a_o idol_n or_o as_o a_o little_a babe_n wherein_o we_o do_v too_o great_a wrong_n to_o his_o

that_o god_n child_n must_v be_v so_o humble_a as_o to_o submit_v themselves_o too_o instruction_n and_o teach_n from_o day_n too_o day_n and_o from_o year_n to_o year_n and_o consider_v that_o they_o

we_o father_n it_o upon_o ourselves_o but_o it_o be_v altogether_o of_o god_n work_v and_o we_o must_v be_v link_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o be_v partaker_n of_o such_o a_o benefit_n

but_o what_o for_o that_o there_o be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o say_v saint_n paul_n it_o will_v not_o boot_n we_o too_o allege_v alas_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v i_o that_o be_o a_o poor_a frail_a

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o prepare_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_n too_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n as_o we_o may_v stand_v obedient_o in_o battle_n ray_n too_o resist_v all_o temptation_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v much_o ado_n too_o bring_v it_o too_o pass_v ▪_o but_o yet_o will_v god_n be_v strong_a so_o we_o pray_v he_o too_o govern_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a

enough_o for_o he_o too_o have_v be_v instruct_v &_o teach_v unless_o he_o do_v also_o thrust_v forth_o himself_o by_o force_n and_o subdue_v all_o his_o wicked_a affection_n how_o hard_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v too_o bring_v it_o too_o pass_v now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o you_o child_n say_v saint_n paul_n obey_v your_o father_n and_o moother_n true_a it_o be_v that_o as_o paul_n allege_v afterward_o god_n have_v in_o his_o law_n set_v down_o a_o more_o general_a term_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n honour_n for_o god_n mean_v too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o child_n ought_v too_o yield_v both_o subjection_n and_o reverence_n too_o their_o father_n and_o moother_n for_o such_o a_o one_o may_v yield_v obedience_n and_o subjection_n as_o may_v nevertheless_o have_v a_o spiteful_a a_o proud_a and_o a_o lofty_a heart_n and_o despise_v the_o party_n who_o he_o serve_v but_o when_o as_o our_o lord_n command_v we_o too_o honour_v our_o father_n and_o moother_n therunder_o he_o mean_v too_o comprehend_v reverence_n and_o moreover_o a_o performance_n of_o all_o duty_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o child_n shall_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v too_o serve_v their_o father_n and_o moother_n &_o to_o be_v subject_a too_o they_o in_o all_o thing_n too_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n you_o see_v then_o that_o general_o god_n will_v have_v child_n not_o only_o too_o be_v obedient_a and_o subject_a too_o their_o parent_n but_o also_o too_o yield_v they_o reverence_n and_o moreover_o too_o do_v their_o duty_n towards_o they_o in_o succour_v they_o and_o in_o do_v they_o all_o the_o ease_n and_o comfort_n that_o they_o can_v assure_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v not_o their_o own_o nor_o at_o their_o own_o liberty_n but_o that_o they_o owe_v all_o seruis_fw-la unto_o they_o ▪_o by_o who_o mean_n they_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o saint_n paul_n say_v express_o in_o the_o lord_n mean_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a bond_n too_o hold_v we_o in_o this_o subjection_n for_o first_o there_o be_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o again_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v set_v we_o in_o this_o earthly_a life_n with_o condition_n that_o father_n and_o moother_n shall_v have_v superiority_n over_o their_o child_n the_o heathen_a man_n shall_v not_o fail_v too_o be_v find_v guilty_a though_o they_o have_v not_o the_o law_n too_o direct_v they_o nor_o be_v teach_v the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o hear_v now_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n paul_n insomuch_o that_o if_o a_o child_n be_v stubborn_a against_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n among_o the_o heathen_a he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v abhor_v and_o there_o be_v neither_o great_a nor_o small_a which_o can_v not_o judge_v of_o it_o neither_o shall_v they_o escape_v god_n hand_n sith_o they_o be_v condemn_v already_o in_o this_o world_n for_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v grave_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o we_o all_o and_o also_o as_o manifest_v as_o may_v be_v howbeit_o besyd_n that_o which_o we_o know_v natural_o god_n add_v his_o own_o will_n for_o a_o further_o and_o more_o ample_a confirmation_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v so_o ordain_v and_o appoint_v it_o and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v pass_v that_o way_n then_o sith_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n hold_v we_o under_o awe_n of_o our_o father_n and_o moother_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o unexcuzable_a if_o every_o of_o we_o submit_v not_o himself_o with_o meekness_n and_o humility_n and_o they_o that_o have_v follow_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n among_o the_o heathen_a and_o poor_a blind_a soul_n shall_v be_v our_o judge_n for_o who_o have_v stirr_v they_o up_o thereunto_o they_o have_v not_o the_o help_n that_o we_o have_v and_o yet_o they_o perform_v their_o duty_n that_o then_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n intend_v in_o say_v that_o child_n ought_v to_o obey_v their_o father_n and_o moother_n in_o the_o lord_n now_o he_o add_v that_o that_o be_v right_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o man_n shall_v gain_v any_o thing_n by_o strive_v in_o this_o behalf_n for_o we_o know_v that_o man_n mind_n be_v so_o full_o fraught_v with_o pride_n as_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o will_v be_v a_o lord_n as_o for_o subjection_n it_o
