world_n to_o come_v and_o that_o this_o world_n may_v not_o deceive_v you_o consider_v it_o as_o it_o be_v and_o think_v no_o better_o of_o it_o they_o it_o do_v deserve_v &_o love_v it_o no_o dear_a than_o you_o will_v your_o enemy_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2.15_o say_v 1._o john_n 2.15_o if_o we_o love_v the_o world_n or_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o we_o and_o if_o you_o will_v say_v you_o 14.2.4_o you_o joh._n 14.2.4_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n you_o will_v prove_v yourself_o a_o liar_n &_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o you_o know_v therefore_o the_o this_o world_n be_v vain_a and_o all_o worldly_a thing_n be_v vanity_n the_o righteousness_n be_v perfect_a blessedness_n and_o to_o know_v god_n in_o truth_n be_v the_o chief_a felicity_n and_o to_o put_v away_o confidence_n in_o man_n or_o any_o worldly_a help_n be_v to_o trust_v to_o a_o break_a staff_n which_o in_o the_o end_n will_v deceive_v you_o think_v no_o freedom_n so_o to_o be_v desire_v as_o the_o service_n of_o god_n &_o to_o know_v that_o better_a it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o be_v christ_n chaplin_n without_o a_o benefice_n then_o to_o have_v all_o the_o livinge_n in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v out_o of_o his_o service_n and_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o depart_v with_o one_o benefice_n and_o keep_v two_o in_o your_o hand_n but_o if_o you_o may_v be_v unburden_v of_o that_o which_o you_o can_v discharge_v and_o have_v pardon_n for_o your_o former_a sin_n commit_v say_v you_o be_v well_o use_v and_o fin_n no_o more_o and_o christ_n teach_v we_o that_o he_o that_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n 16.2_o disciple_n mat._n 16.2_o must_v deny_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v counsel_v you_o to_o keep_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v hurt_v you_o or_o hinder_v god_n glory_n i_o shall_v go_v beyond_o my_o commission_n and_o commit_v sin_n with_o you_o therefore_o to_o tell_v you_o the_o troth_n because_o you_o be_v a_o unpreach_a prelate_n and_o unmeet_a for_o that_o office_n i_o will_v wish_v you_o to_o give_v over_o the_o function_n you_o have_v no_o skill-of_a and_o leave_v all_o your_o benefice_n as_o thing_n that_o perteine_v not_o unto_o you_o let_v not_o so_o many_o soul_n perish_v through_o one_o man_n negligence_n but_o have_v a_o care_n of_o yourself_o as_o well_o as_o of_o they_o &_o flatter_v not_o yourself_o any_o long_o lest_o you_o &_o your_o flock_n perish_v together_o let_v such_o have_v your_o room_n that_o can_v teach_v they_o better_o and_o let_v such_o shere_v the_o sheep_n as_o can_v feed_v the_o flock_n that_o you_o may_v save_v yourself_o and_o they_o let_v not_o worldly_a persuasion_n work_v you_o destruction_n but_o let_v such_o flatterer_n go_v for_o liar_n that_o will_v tell_v you_o you_o be_v unwise_a if_o you_o so_o do_v you_o shall_v loose_v your_o credit_n you_o friend_n will_v fail_v you_o no_o man_n will_v regard_v you_o let_v these_o and_o such_o like_a tale_n go_v for_o chaff_n that_o be_v blow_v away_o with_o the_o wind_n and_o who_o substance_n will_v soon_o have_v a_o end_n for_o if_o the_o

you_o the_o charge_n of_o soul_n without_o the_o destruction_n of_o yourself_o and_o they_o discharge_v yourself_o quite_o of_o so_o great_a a_o danger_n and_o keep_v not_o a_o benefice_n for_o fear_n

in_o i_o no_o i_o abhor_v it_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n and_o love_n of_o money_n be_v far_o from_o i_o gen._n what_o be_v you_o not_o covetous_a i_o pray_v you_o what_o do_v then_o move_v you_o to_o take_v 3._o benefice_n when_o as_o one_o of_o they_o be_v live_v sufficient_a for_o you_o par._n i_o perceive_v you_o know_v not_o what_o you_o say_v for_o i_o tell_v you_o troth_n i_o can_v not_o live_v with_o one_o benefice_n gen._n no_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o be_v one_o of_o your_o benefice_n that_o do_v yield_v you_o jest_n worth_n you_o by_o the_o year_n par._n i_o think_v it_o be_v

pound_n by_o the_o year_n par._n i_o see_v well_o gentleman_n you_o take_v all_o thing_n at_o the_o worst_a but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o and_o not_o lie_v unto_o you_o wherefore_o one_o benefice_n will_v not_o content_v i_o and_o so_o small_a a_o live_n will_v not_o satisfy_v i_o i_o do_v consider_v my_o call_n how_o that_o i_o be_v a_o gentleman_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o i_o to_o live_v as_o the_o common_a sort_n do_v which_o be_v but_o plain_a fellow_n of_o the_o country_n and_o i_o know_v no_o way_n how_o to_o make_v any_o difference_n but_o only_o by_o procure_v myself_o such_o living_n as_o may_v maintain_v i_o like_o a_o gentleman_n and_o be_v once_o a_o minister_n you_o know_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o possess_v other_o livinge_n than_o such_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o ministry_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v no_o way_n to_o make_v up_o the_o matter_n or_o bring_v my_o purpose_n to_o pass_v but_o only_o by_o have_v two_o or_o three_o

to_o live_v at_o ease_n but_o if_o you_o will_v be_v the_o man_n that_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v you_o must_v forsake_v yourself_o and_o follow_v christ_n and_o as_o near_o as_o you_o may_v imitate_v
