dear_a bless_a word_n and_o that_o we_o can_v be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o it_o may_v be_v frelye_o preach_v and_o profess_v open_o a_o christian_a man_n therefore_o that_o belong_v unto_o a_o church_n wherein_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v teach_v as_o oft_o as_o he_o go_v in_o shall_v think_v upon_o this_o psalm_n &_o out_o of_o a_o joyful_a heart_n with_o the_o prophet_n to_o geve_v god_n thanks_n for_o his_o unoutspeakable_a grace_n that_o he_o have_v set_v he_o as_o his_o own_o sheep_n in_o a_o pleasant_a green_a meadow_n where_o there_o be_v plenty_n of_o good_a grass_n and_o fresh_a water_n that_o be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o he_o may_v hear_v &_o learn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o conceive_v rich_a comfort_n therout_a both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n this_o bless_a david_n do_v well_o understonde_v how_o worthy_a a_o treasure_n it_o be_v when_o it_o may_v so_o be_v have_v therefore_o can_v he_o boast_v &_o singe_v so_o well_o of_o it_o &_o magnifyethy_n benefit_n above_o all_o that_o be_v in_o onye_n estymation_n or_o worship_n upon_o earth_n at_o he_o ought_v we_o to_o learn_v this_o science_n david_n what_o we_o ought_v to_o learn_v here_o of_o david_n and_o accord_v to_o his_o ensample_n not_o only_o to_o be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n our_o love_a and_o faithful_a shepherd_n &_o to_o magni_fw-la fie_o his_o unout_n speakeable_a gift_n which_o he_o of_o very_a love_a kyndnesse_n have_v give_v we_o as_o david_n do_v here_o in_o the_o first_o fyve_o verse_n but_o also_o earnest_o to_o desire_v and_o pray_v he_o as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n that_o we_o may_v abide_v by_o this_o riches_n and_o never_o to_o fall_v away_o from_o his_o holy_a christian_a church_n and_o such_o a_o prayer_n be_v excead_o necessary_a for_o we_o be_v very_o weak_a and_o as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n say_v we_o carry_v this_o treasure_n about_o in_o earthen_a vessel_n 4._o 2._o cor._n 4._o the_o devil_n also_o our_o adversary_n bear_v deadly_a hate_n unto_o we_o for_o this_o treasure_n sake_n therefore_o do_v he_o not_o rest_n but_o go_v about_o as_o a_o roar_v lion_n &_o seek_v how_o he_o may_v devour_v us._n beside_o all_o this_o he_o have_v a_o quarrel_n unto_o we_o because_o of_o our_o old_a sack_n which_o we_o carry_v yet_o upon_o our_o neck_n wherein_o there_o be_v yet_o also_o dyverse_a concupiscence_n and_o sin_n more_o over_o the_o dear_a flock_n of_o christ_n be_v spot_v &_o file_v with_o so_o many_o horrible_a offence_n or_o sklaunder_n that_o because_o of_o the_o same_o there_o do_v many_o fall_n away_o from_o they_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o pray_v and_o put_v this_o uncorrupt_a doctrine_n still_o in_o practice_n &_o defend_v ourselves_o therewith_o against_o all_o sklaunder_n that_o we_o may_v continue_v unto_o the_o end_n &_o be_v save_v this_o mad_a and_o blind_a world_n know_v utter_o nothing_o of_o this_o treasure_n and_o precious_a stone_n world_n the_o blindness_n of_o the_o world_n but_o ymagyne_v only_o even_o as_o a_o swine_n or_o unreasonable_a beast_n how_o they_o may_v here_o fill_v the_o belly_n or_o else_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n they_o follow_v lie_n &_o ypocrisye_a as_o for_o the_o truth_n and_o faith_n they_o set_v it_o pass_v therefore_o do_v they_o sing_v no_o psalm_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o holy_a word_n but_o rather_o when_o he_o offer_v it_o unto_o they_o they_o blasphe_n i_o it_o and_o condemn_v it_o for_o heresy_n and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o teach_v it_o or_o will_v be_v know_v of_o it_o the_o world_n persecute_v they_o and_o put_v they_o to_o death_n like_a as_o if_o they_o be_v deceaver_n and_o the_o most_o ungracyous_a wretch_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o shall_v be_v good_a therefore_o for_o this_o small_a flock_n to_o knowledge_n such_o a_o benefit_n &_o with_o the_o prophet_n to_o sing_v a_o psalm_n or_o song_n of_o thankesgeve_v unto_o god_n for_o it_o god_n of_o they_o the_o will_v and_o can_v not_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o what_o say_v you_o of_o they_o that_o can_v not_o have_v the_o preaching_n of_o god_n word_n as_o namely_o they_o that_o dwell_v here_o and_o there_o among_o tyrant_n and_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n no_o doubt_n where_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v preach_v there_o can_v it_o not_o pass_v away_o without_o fruit_n as_o esay_n say_v in_o the_o lu_o chap._n the_o good_a christian_a people_n also_o of_o the_o same_o place_n have_v one_o vantage_n which_o in_o deed_n be_v dear_a unto_o they_o for_o they_o that_o be_v christian_a man_n count_v it_o a_o very_a great_a thing_n that_o they_o may_v be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v free_o and_o open_o teach_v and_o knowlege_v and_o the_o sacrament_n mynistre_v after_o christ_n institution_n but_o as_o for_o these_o they_o be_v sow_v very_o thin_a the_o false_a christian_a be_v always_o mo_z than_o the_o good_a the_o great_a multitude_n care_v nothing_o for_o god_n word_n neither_o do_v they_o knowledge_n it_o for_o a_o benefit_n that_o they_o may_v hear_v it_o without_o all_o harm_n &_o parel_n you_o they_o be_v soon_o fill_v and_o weary_a of_o it_o and_o esteem_v it_o but_o a_o pain_n to_o hear_v it_o and_o to_o receive_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n again_o they_o that_o suffer_v under_o tyrant_n complain_v day_n and_o night_n and_o long_o great_o for_o it_o and_o if_o a_o small_a morsel_n of_o our_o bread_n that_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o so_o ryche_o do_v come_v unto_o they_o they_o receive_v it_o with_o great_a joy_n and_o thankfulness_n and_o do_v themselves_o much_o good_a withal_o god_n man_n beware_v weary_a of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n where_o as_o our_o swine_n in_o the_o

the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v teach_v there_o go_v they_o up_o &_o down_o in_o the_o market_n in_o the_o preaching_n time_n and_o lurk_v about_o the_o grave_n where_o they_o be_v ten_o or_o twenty_o

as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o xli_o psalm_n tyrant_n of_o they_o the_o dwelunder_n tyrant_n therefore_o shortelye_a this_o be_v my_o answer_n unto_o the_o question_n concern_v they_o that_o dwell_v

be_v it_o not_o do_v without_o a_o special_a battayll_n of_o faith_n for_o such_o help_n do_v he_o promise_v we_o in_o his_o holy_a word_n that_o we_o shall_v believe_v it_o and_o if_o we_o believe_v
