as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o mid_a day_n appear_v and_o shine_v unto_o we_o again_o therefore_o like_a as_o it_o have_v be_v count_v a_o manner_n of_o servitude_n in_o time_n past_a to_o hear_v a_o godly_a sermon_n which_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v even_o as_o they_o do_v their_o servile_a labour_n so_o must_v we_o now_o otherwise_o think_v that_o they_o which_o teach_v read_v write_v or_o

not_o here_o attain_v to_o such_o full_a knowledge_n of_o spiritual_a matter_n danger_n but_o that_o daily_o we_o have_v need_v to_o learn_v they_o again_o to_o be_v exercise_v &_o confirm_v therein_o because_o of_o the_o continual_a vexation_n and_o assault_n of_o satan_n that_o as_o we_o be_v never_o without_o occasion_n of_o decline_a &_o fall_v from_o god_n so_o likewise_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o exercise_v ourselves_o in_o the_o continual_a meditation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o the_o edify_a both_o of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o the_o church_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o

by_o and_o by_o to_o be_v great_a doctor_n for_o see_v that_o these_o thing_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o fine_a and_o eloquent_a talk_n in_o reason_v and_o dispute_v but_o in_o practice_n and_o experience_n direct_v not_o by_o man_n reason_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v miserable_o deceive_v that_o rest_n in_o bare_a and_o naked_a knowledge_n which_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a without_o experience_n and_o practice_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n god_n appoint_v but_o only_o the_o ten_o commandment_n wherein_o he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n to_o be_v exercise_v and_o occupy_v but_o who_o be_v there_o ever_o among_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n which_o can_v say_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v forth_o in_o those_o commandment_n and_o shall_v we_o which_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v the_o whole_a scripture_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o glory_n in_o the_o fullness_n and_o perfection_n of_o our_o knowledge_n let_v we_o not_o think_v therefore_o so_o high_o of_o ourselves_o but_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o confess_v this_o wisdom_n to_o be_v infinite_a and_o such_o as_o we_o can_v never_o full_o attain_v unto_o although_o we_o shall_v spend_v our_o whole_a life_n in_o the_o study_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o although_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o be_v not_o without_o some_o knowledge_n yet_o because_o we_o be_v continual_o oppress_v with_o cloud_n of_o tentation_n we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o this_o fountain_n yea_o to_o this_o fire_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v kindle_v therewith_o and_o that_o we_o may_v give_v no_o place_n to_o satan_n or_o our_o own_o flesh_n whereby_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v quench_v in_o we_o this_o loathe_n of_o god_n word_n which_o rise_v of_o a_o false_a opinion_n of_o knowledge_n be_v alas_o to_o common_a at_o this_o day_n word_n for_o a_o remedy_n therefore_o against_o this_o evil_a moses_n command_v that_o the_o la_o of_o god_n shall_v be_v diligent_o set_v forth_o to_o the_o posterity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v shall_v continual_o be_v teach_v and_o exercise_v though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o well_o know_v before_o for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o i_o have_v take_v in_o hand_n to_o expound_v the_o psalm_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o abhor_v this_o damnable_a loathe_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o also_o to_o confirm_v and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o nourish_v the_o good_a spirit_n of_o god_n in_o we_o by_o the_o exercise_n and_o practice_v of_o the_o same_o but_o the_o chief_a cause_n that_o move_v i_o hereunto_o be_v for_o that_o we_o know_v this_o kind_n of_o worship_n above_o all_o other_o to_o please_v god_n when_o we_o set_v forth_o his_o word_n in_o teach_v in_o read_v in_o writing_n in_o hear_v etc_n etc_n and_o this_o one_o thing_n ought_v to_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o continual_a exercise_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o to_o teach_v to_o exercise_v and_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o word_n what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o continual_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n unto_o god_n continual_o to_o worship_v god_n continual_o to_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o three_o first_o commandment_n lamentable_a it_o be_v to_o see_v what_o a_o multitude_n there_o be_v of_o such_o as_o continual_o blaspheme_v god_n either_o in_o teach_v false_a doctrine_n or_o in_o persecute_v the_o truth_n wherefore_o very_o necessary_a it_o be_v that_o we_o which_o in_o comparison_n of_o they_o be_v so_o small_a a_o number_n shall_v serve_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n &_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n which_o both_o have_v give_v we_o this_o life_n and_o promise_v the_o life_n to_o come_v moreover_o our_o own_o danger_n give_v we_o good_a warning_n to_o take_v heed_n plague_n that_o while_o we_o thus_o neglect_v &_o loath_a the_o word_n we_o feel_v not_o his_o heavy_a wrath_n &_o plague_n upon_o we_o before_o we_o be_v ware_z for_o when_o we_o be_v once_o weary_a of_o the_o word_n then_o follow_v the_o contempt_n of_o the_o same_o which_o contempt_n the_o lord_n so_o punish_v that_o he_o take_v his_o word_n clean_o away_o hereof_o the_o papacy_n may_v be_v

we_o in_o this_o psalm_n with_o thankfulness_n to_o acknowledge_v this_o singular_a benefit_n of_o the_o word_n and_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o horrible_a contempt_n thereof_o how_o much_o better_a

a_o reverence_n to_o the_o word_n which_o repentance_n necessary_o bring_v with_o it_o then_o to_o fall_v so_o far_o as_o to_o contemn_v the_o word_n for_o this_o be_v to_o heap_v wrath_n upon_o wrath_n like_v as_o it_o be_v to_o heap_v grace_n upon_o grace_n with_o david_n to_o hold_v fast_o the_o word_n and_o withal_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a benefit_n thereof_o to_o be_v brief_a like_a as_o there_o be_v no_o great_a joy_n and_o felicity_n to_o the_o godly_a then_o to_o hear_v and_o to_o know_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n speak_v unto_o they_o offer_v grace_n peace_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a so_o can_v there_o be_v to_o they_o no_o great_a cross_n than_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o word_n for_o what_o do_v thou_o else_o but_o contemn_v god_n himself_o yea_o crucify_v again_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o tread_v thy_o saviour_n under_o thy_o foot_n when_o thou_o contemn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o for_o thy_o salvation_n be_v reveil_v &_o offer_v unto_o thou_o no_o mortal_a man_n can_v abide_v such_o intolerable_a contempt_n as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n continual_o suffer_v for_o he_o be_v patient_a and_o will_v that_o we_o shall_v convert_v and_o repent_v but_o he_o pay_v home_o at_o the_o length_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o christ_n plain_o show_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o such_o horrible_a calamity_n be_v for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o time_n of_o their_o visitation_n let_v we_o learn_v then_o by_o these_o example_n what_o a_o great_a blessing_n it_o be_v to_o hear_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o and_o as_o a_o tender_a mother_n with_o her_o child_n most_o love_o talk_v with_o we_o for_o this_o be_v it_o
