shall_v smite_v the_o with_o swelling_n fever_n heat_n burn_v blast_a drought_n etc._n etc._n and_o shall_v persecute_v the_o till_o he_o utter_o destroy_v the_o and_o bring_v the_o to_o naught_o and_o certain_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a truth_n and_o the_o very_a original_n of_o these_o plague_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o doubt_n thereon_o for_o though_o the_o foresaid_a natural_a cause_n do_v somewhat_o also_o thereto_o yet_o be_v it_o sure_a and_o undouted_a that_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v send_v and_o steere_v up_o out_o of_o god_n wrath_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o unthank_v fullness_n and_o true_o that_o it_o be_v even_o so_o the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v not_o wych_a bare_a word_n only_o but_o show_v it_o also_o with_o notable_a ensample_n for_o in_o the_o four_o book_n of_o moses_n the_o fourtenth_fw-mi chapter_n when_o all_o the_o spy_n except_o josua_n and_o caleb_n speak_v evell_a of_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o make_v the_o people_n unpaciente_a and_o uprourysshe_a so_o that_o they_o choose_v they_o a_o captain_n and_o think_v to_o go_v again_o into_o egypte_n and_o to_o stone_n moses_n and_o aaron_n which_o command_v they_o the_o contrary_n we_o read_v thus_o then_o appear_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o speak_v unto_o moses_n how_o long_o do_v this_o people_n blaspheme_v i_o and_o how_o long_o will_v they_o not_o believe_v i_o for_o all_o the_o token_n that_o i_o have_v do_v upon_o they_o therefore_o will_v i_o smytte_n and_o destroy_v they_o with_o pestilence_n and_o make_v of_o the_o a_o grater_n nation_n then_o this_o likewise_o also_o when_o david_n cause_v the_o people_n to_o be_v number_v against_o god_n commandment_n he_o displease_v the_o lord_n god_n horible_o therewith_o therefore_o lay_v he_o the_o

the_o ii_o book_n of_o samuel_n see_v then_o that_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o know_v the_o very_a cause_n of_o this_o horryble_a plague_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o defaute_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o unbelefe_n disobedience_n &_o unthankfulness_n therefore_o before_o all_o thing_n it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a that_o we_o refrain_v from_o the_o same_o repent_v and_o aniende_n our_o lyve_n if_o we_o will_v else_o be_v preserve_v and_o delyver_v from_o this_o horrible_a plague_n for_o if_o god_n punish_v we_o because_o of_o sin_n it_o be_v good_a to_o consydre_v that_o we_o must_v first_o knowledge_n and_o eschew_v our_o sin_n in_o case_n that_o he_o shall_v withdraw_v and_o take_v awaychy_n wrath_n &_o punyshment_n from_o us._n shing_n if_o we_o amend_v not_o god_n continue_v in_o puny_a shing_n for_o if_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o evell_a sinful_a and_o culpable_a life_n certain_o he_o shall_v not_o cease_v with_o the_o punyshment_n but_o go_v forth_o more_o &_o more_o till_o he_o geve_v and_o recompense_v accord_v to_o our_o work_n but_o if_o we_o knowledge_n our_o sin_n refrain_v from_o it_o repent_v and_o axe_n grace_n they_o shall_v he_o also_o take_v away_o his_o wrath_n and_o this_o horrible_a wrath_n with_o other_o hevy_a burden_n as_o war_n &_o dearth_n that_o lie_v upon_o our_o neck_n shall_v he_o mercyful_o take_v away_o from_o we_o again_o as_o holy_a paul_n say_v i_o cor._n xi_o if_o we_o judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v but_o when_o we_o be_v judge_v we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v damn_v with_o the_o world_n and_o out_o of_o all_o this_o may_v your_o charyte_n well_o perceive_v how_o unwyse_o and_o unchristen_o they_o do_v that_o out_o of_o inordinate_a fear_n of_o this_o

that_o he_o may_v the_o soon_o take_v hold_n upon_o they_o and_o pluck_v they_o away_o with_o this_o plague_n for_o man_n may_v hear_v on_o every_o side_n case_n a_o piteous_a case_n that_o some_o do_v shine_v and_o fly_v not_o only_o the_o sick_a but_o also_o the_o whole_a you_o that_o yet_o more_o foolyshe_a be_v even_o the_o platter_n and_o candelstyche_n which_o come_v out_o of_o strange_a

with_o out_o all_o keep_a help_n and_o comfort_n but_o the_o woman_n also_o great_a with_o child_n be_v forsake_v in_o their_o need_n or_o else_o come_v there_o utter_o no_o man_n unto_o they_o you_o

a_o new_a commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v love_v one_o another_o as_o he_o have_v love_v we_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o far_o we_o depart_v from_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neghboure_n the_o more_o

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

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

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

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
