as_o in_o a_o little_a shed_v under_o leaf_n that_o be_v soon_o rot_v but_o in_o a_o everlasting_a house_n that_o be_v full_a of_o glory_n see_v then_o that_o we_o know_v that_o god_n call_v we_o to_o so_o happy_a a_o life_n and_o give_v we_o assurance_n of_o it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o need_v not_o to_o shun_v death_n sith_o that_o thereby_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o full_a possession_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o be_v short_a we_o come_v not_o to_o death_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v the_o unbeliever_n say_v i_o know_v not_o whither_o i_o go_v if_o they_o have_v any_o opinion_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o their_o soul_n either_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v dismay_v at_o it_o when_o they_o know_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v their_o judge_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v be_v sot_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o shall_v think_v there_o be_v no_o better_a life_n than_o this_o but_o for_o our_o part_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v create_v we_o after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o gather_v we_o up_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o if_o we_o refer_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o follow_v the_o example_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v we_o father_n say_v ●ee_n unto_o thou_o do_v i_o commend_v my_o spirit_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o say_v free_o unto_o god_n lord_n i_o yield_v my_o soul_n into_o thy_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v be_v safe_a when_o we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v the_o keeper_n of_o our_o soul_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v go_v glad_o and_o with_o a_o good_a will_n unto_o death_n because_o our_o soul_n be_v in_o god_n keep_v till_o he_o knit_v they_o to_o their_o body_n again_o in_o his_o come_n at_o the_o last_o day_n when_o we_o be_v at_o this_o point_n then_o to_o confirm_v the_o say_a prayer_n withal_o thou_o may_v add_v thou_o have_v redeem_v i_o o_o lord_n god_n of_o truth_n lo_o how_o david_n speak_v and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v use_v the_o same_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o request_n which_o ought_v too_o be_v common_a to_o all_o member_n of_o the_o church_n so_o then_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o doubt_v not_o of_o god_n receive_v of_o our_o soul_n into_o his_o keep_n when_o we_o betake_v they_o to_o he_o unfeigned_o let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o

because_o we_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o follow_v that_o which_o he_o show_v we_o that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o establish_v we_o in_o such_o a_o zeal_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o we_o may_v never_o swerve_v nor_o be_v turn_v from_o the_o right_a way_n wherein_o he_o shall_v have_v once_o set_v we_o and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v

by_o our_o confess_v of_o his_o name_n whither_o it_o be_v in_o life_n or_o death_n and_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o may_v be_v knit_v too_o he_o by_o faith_n and_o hope_n so_o as_o we_o may_v persist_v therein_o too_o the_o end_n and_o until_o he_o have_v gather_v we_o into_o the_o everlasting_a heritage_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o

which_o be_v the_o three_o upon_o the_o xxvij_o chapter_n 8_o what_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v heap_v up_o and_o god_n shall_v have_v pluck_v away_o his_o

and_o why_o do_v you_o vanish_v away_o in_o vanity_n we_o see_v yesterday_o that_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v of_o the_o state_n of_o man_n we_o must_v not_o rest_v upon_o this_o present_a life_n but_o we_o must_v go_v further_o for_o if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o than_o to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o it_o be_v but_o as_o a_o shadow_n &_o although_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o

therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v too_o the_o hope_n that_o job_n speak_v of_o here_o that_o we_o may_v have_v skill_n to_o discern_v whither_o a_o man_n life_n be_v happy_a or_o unhappy_a and_o he_o bring_v we_o purposely_o unto_o death_n declare_v that_o sith_o the_o unbeliever_n or_o despiser_n of_o god_n be_v pluck_v out_o of_o this_o world_n by_o violence_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v all_o unhappy_a and_o that_o the_o pleasure_n riches_n honour_n &_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v be_v but_o deceitful_a vanity_n and_o we_o must_v

pass_v away_o into_o the_o wind_n for_o you_o see_v how_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n be_v for_o that_o they_o set_v too_o much_o by_o themselves_o and_o think_v there_o be_v no_o wisdom_n but_o in_o their_o own_o brain_n true_o in_o all_o the_o affair_n that_o man_n have_v every_o man_n seek_v his_o own_o avail_v and_o therefore_o when_o a_o naughtipacke_n

a_o poor_a man_n be_v when_o god_n scourge_v he_o and_o make_v he_o too_o feel_v such_o misery_n as_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o he_o that_o he_o have_v god_n against_o he_o we_o see_v there_o be_v no_o

i_o have_v say_v we_o have_v to_o behold_v in_o what_o anguish_n mortal_a man_n be_v when_o god_n show_v himself_o as_o his_o adversary_n party_n and_o it_o be_v great_o for_o our_o behoof_n to_o mind_v this_o lesson_n because_o we_o be_v over_o negligent_a yea_o and_o there_o be_v overfewe_v that_o think_v upon_o this_o kind_n of_o temptation_n for_o when_o we_o be_v speak_v to_o of_o suffer_v any_o misery_n â–ª_o and_o of_o be_v patient_a in_o adversity_n we_o be_v fleshly_a and_o we_o mount_v no_o high_a than_o our_o sensualtie_n be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o may_v endure_v disease_n we_o may_v be_v put_v too_o some_o trouble_n this_o or_o that_o may_v happen_v unto_o we_o but_o the_o great_a mischief_n of_o all_o which_o be_v able_a to_o

so_o therefore_o when_o god_n show_v himself_o so_o sore_o against_o man_n behold_v it_o be_v a_o temptation_n which_o pass_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o may_v endure_v in_o our_o body_n and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v how_o it_o be_v good_a to_o try_v that_o thing_n thorough_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o job_n then_o say_v that_o he_o will_v feign_v that_o his_o distress_n be_v well_o

in_o bitterness_n by_o reason_n of_o god_n say_v arrow_n which_o have_v pierce_v i_o behold_v whereat_o he_o begin_v but_o it_o seem_v here_o that_o he_o frame_v a_o unjust_a complaint_n when_o he_o say_v that_o his_o misery_n be_v so_o great_a as_o no_o sorrow_n can_v be_v able_a too_o match_v it_o or_o be_v answerable_a to_o it_o and_o this_o complaint_n draw_v near_o too_o that_o which_o

that_o he_o can_v not_o justify_v himself_o for_o his_o sin_n be_v manifest_a and_o he_o be_v convince_v of_o it_o but_o he_o accuse_v god_n of_o cruelty_n or_o overgreat_a rigour_n my_o punishment_n say_v he_o be_v overgreat_a i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o bear_v it_o thou_o will_v chase_v i_o over_o all_o the_o earth_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o stand_v before_o thy_o face_n how_o do_v thou_o handle_v i_o we_o see_v here_o that_o although_o this_o wretched_a caitiff_n can_v not_o deny_v but_o he_o be_v punish_v just_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v his_o startinghole_n that_o god_n punish_v he_o not_o upright_o but_o pass_v measure_n in_o rigorousness_n against_o he_o i_o say_v it_o seem_v that_o job_n do_v the_o like_a here_o for_o he_o say_v it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o he_o be_v in_o great_a distress_n because_o the_o affliction_n which_o he_o endure_v be_v exceed_v great_a and_o much_o more_o heavy_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o can_v not_o lament_v enough_o see_v that_o god_n handle_v he_o so_o rough_o but_o we_o have_v see_v how_o he_o have_v come_v already_o even_o to_o the_o curse_v of_o his_o byrthday_n and_o how_o he_o will_v that_o he_o have_v be_v bear_v dead_a and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o also_o ban_v the_o day_n wherein_o he_o be_v bear_v it_o seem_v then_o that_o job_n may_v not_o be_v excuse_v and_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o although_o he_o have_v a_o good_a case_n yet_o do_v he_o handle_v it_o amiss_o and_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o know_v how_o there_o be_v some_o faultiness_n in_o this_o respect_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o too_o speak_v truth_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o misery_n which_o he_o endure_v be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o extreme_a as_o even_o his_o word_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o so_o much_o as_o in_o that_o behalf_n he_o be_v as_o a_o man_n overwhelm_v which_o have_v no_o liveliness_n in_o he_o so_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o be_v able_a too_o say_v be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o affliction_n wherewith_o god_n press_v he_o let_v we_o mark_v therefore_o that_o we_o have_v here_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o see_v what_o a_o poor_a silly_a creature_n be_v when_o god_n press_v he_o with_o his_o judgement_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o in_o fight_v against_o our_o temptation_n although_o we_o do_v the_o best_a we_o can_v too_o withstand_v they_o and_o too_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o sway_v aside_o either_o one_o way_n or_o other_o through_o infirmity_n so_o as_o there_o be_v never_o sufficient_a strength_n in_o we_o except_o god_n hold_v we_o up_o and_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o bow_v at_o all_o and_o why_o so_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v not_o make_v of_o steel_n nor_o that_o we_o be_v not_o as_o rock_n of_o stone_n but_o that_o we_o be_v mortal_a man_n full_a of_o frailty_n it_o be_v behooveful_a that_o god_n shall_v make_v we_o feel_v this_o also_o although_o he_o assist_v we_o in_o our_o affliction_n so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o overcome_v yet_o do_v he_o make_v we_o to_o be_v wound_v and_o to_o halt_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o leave_v always_o some_o feebleness_n in_v we_o which_o show_v itself_o in_o the_o mighty_a operation_n which_o he_o give_v we_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v here_o but_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o be_v tempt_v and_o whensoever_o we_o be_v pinch_v with_o any_o adversity_n in_o our_o body_n we_o must_v the_o more_o fear_n still_o this_o spiritual_a temptation_n when_o god_n cite_v we_o to_o his_o
as_o we_o can_v yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o perform_v not_o our_o duty_n to_o discharge_v ourselves_o in_o give_v of_o our_o good_n too_o the_o relief_n of_o other_o at_o leastwise_o let_v we_o show_v how_o we_o have_v not_o the_o say_a pride_n that_o we_o will_v cut_v off_o those_o from_o we_o which_o be_v in_o such_o necessity_n &_o who_o god_n afflict_v but_o rather_o let_v we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n will_v try_v if_o we_o have_v any_o kindly_a affection_n in_o we_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o must_v always_o be_v more_o warer_n of_o disdain_v those_o that_o be_v in_o poverty_n and_o trouble_n than_o of_o love_v those_o that_o be_v in_o prosperity_n &_o at_o their_o ease_n or_o of_o soothe_v they_o up_o in_o all_o respect_n because_o they_o bear_v a_o goodly_a port_n to_o the_o worldeward_n and_o why_o so_o for_o our_o charity_n be_v not_o well_o ground_v if_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n but_o in_o respect_n to_o be_v help_v by_o they_o and_o to_o serve_v our_o own_o turn_n with_o their_o credit_n or_o with_o their_o good_n &_o favour_n nay_o rather_o let_v we_o have_v regard_n to_o follow_v that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o show_v our_o charity_n upon_o those_o who_o we_o know_v too_o have_v more_o need_n and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o extend_v this_o doctrine_n to_o ourselves_o that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o bliss_n god_n when_o we_o be_v in_o prosperity_n but_o if_o god_n send_v we_o any_o affliction_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o glorify_v he_o in_o all_o respect_n and_o to_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o although_o we_o be_v toss_v from_o post_n to_o pillar_n with_o the_o misery_n &_o greevance_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n be_v strong_a enough_o to_o deliver_v we_o and_o that_o he_o will_v also_o do_v it_o so_o we_o refer_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o

whereunto_o we_o run_v and_o you_o see_v also_o why_o saint_n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o great_a judge_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o friend_n man_n beguile_v themselves_o when_o they_o make_v such_o comparison_n as_o these_o what_o i_o see_v other_o man_n live_v no_o better_a than_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o have_v fault_n in_o i_o so_o have_v other_o man_n in_o they_o too_o you_o see_v then_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n condemn_v not_o themselves_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o rather_o soothe_v themselves_o in_o justify_v their_o own_o case_n but_o here_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v justify_v with_o god_n what_o must_v we_o then_o do_v as_o oft_o as_o any_o

stand_v against_o he_o and_o enterprise_v the_o combat_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a to_o some_o as_o that_o he_o daunt_v they_o and_o they_o

before_o he_o then_o be_v their_o comb_n cut_v and_o good_a right_n they_o shall_v be_v so_o insomuch_o that_o when_o they_o have_v beguile_v not_o only_o the_o world_n but_o also_o themselves_o by_o

they_o do_v it_o not_o at_o all_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v because_o they_o conceive_v not_o god_n to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v well_o we_o can_v skill_n to_o say_v god_n

if_o he_o be_v their_o jack_n like_a as_o when_o a_o master_n be_v angry_a if_o he_o be_v a_o fumish_a and_o hasty_a man_n he_o will_v give_v his_o servant_n a_o buffet_n with_o his_o fist_n so_o

they_o not_o to_o swear_v blasphemous_o at_o every_o word_n which_o be_v a_o monstrous_a thing_n and_o against_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o good_a token_n that_o we_o know_v not_o the_o

be_v minister_v about_o the_o holy_a scripture_n about_o the_o whole_a religion_n and_o about_o so_o holy_a thing_n as_o we_o have_v at_o this_o day_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o man_n shall_v hold_v

that_o there_o be_v no_o might_n no_o strength_n no_o power_n like_o he_o in_o all_o the_o
god_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o do_v punish_v man_n without_o cause_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o be_v a_o unjust_a tyranny_n but_o he_o take_v these_o word_n without_o cause_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o perceive_v and_o herein_o it_o be_v include_v that_o we_o must_v reverence_v god_n justice_n although_o it_o be_v hide_v and_o overcast_v with_o dark_a and_o

what_o job_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o he_o be_v wound_v without_o cause_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v demand_v of_o he_o know_v thou_o any_o evident_a cause_n in_o

of_o truth_n he_o know_v none_o but_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n if_o god_n shall_v use_v all_o the_o rigour_n that_o be_v possible_a against_o a_o man_n that_o be_v like_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n

shall_v be_v full_a of_o ceremony_n and_o apparent_a pretence_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o truth_n nor_o right_o mean_v inward_o in_o the_o heart_n you_o see_v how_o we_o

heart_n ▪_o but_o for_o our_o better_a confirmation_n in_o this_o lesson_n we_o must_v bethink_v we_o of_o other_o text_n of_o the_o scripture_n where_o god_n avouch_v that_o he_o be_v not_o like_a too_o mortal_a creature_n who_o rest_n upon_o the_o outward_a show_n of_o thing_n because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a we_o make_v much_o of_o that_o which_o seem_v gay_a but_o god_n be_v not_o such_o a_o

all_o must_v needs_o be_v lay_v open_a before_o he_o therefore_o his_o eye_n look_v unto_o faithfulness_n and_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o jeremy_n to_o be_v short_a the_o service_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o singlehartednesse_n whereof_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o oft_o in_o say_v thou_o shall_v be_v sound_o before_o i_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v god_n give_v that_o rule_n to_o abraham_n but_o he_o give_v it_o to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v general_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o often_o repeat_v of_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o when_o god_n mind_v to_o shoal_n out_o his_o own_o child_n by_o some_o certain_a mark_n from_o the_o hypocrite_n always_o he_o set_v down_o the_o say_a soundhartednesse_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v the_o truth_n he_o will_v be_v serve_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n now_o see_v that_o god_n service_n be_v spiritual_a all_o feign_a and_o untruth_n must_v be_v far_o from_o we_o otherwise_o although_o our_o work_n please_v man_n and_o be_v never_o so_o much_o commend_v of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v no_o better_a than_o dung_n and_o vanity_n and_o god_n will_v reject_v all_o that_o we_o have_v if_o we_o have_v not_o first_o endeavour_v to_o put_v our_o heart_n in_o order_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o papist_n take_v hold_v of_o this_o text_n too_o

with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v well_o apply_v to_o our_o use_n we_o be_v fill_v with_o it_o and_o we_o be_v nourish_v with_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n there_o be_v no_o windiness_n that_o break_v up_o upon_o our_o stomach_n and_o bring_v no_o substantial_a nurrishment_n with_o it_o see_v then_o the_o two_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o note_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o man_n find_v no_o favour_n in_o our_o word_n when_o we_o have_v tell_v they_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a profitable_a and_o of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o therefore_o be_v out_o of_o patience_n consider_v that_o the_o same_o have_v happen_v not_o only_o to_o job_n but_o also_o to_o all_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n so_o as_o their_o doctrine_n have_v no_o favour_n to_o the_o

may_v be_v to_o the_o edify_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o carry_v
his_o glory_n and_o make_v all_o thing_n to_o vanish_v that_o seem_v to_o be_v aught_o worth_a yea_o and_o all_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v wonderful_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n shall_v give_v no_o more_o light_n and_o the_o moon_n shall_v be_v darken_v and_o why_o because_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n shall_v shine_v far_o bright_a the_o prophet_n esayes_n intent_n be_v to_o

let_v we_o take_v that_o for_o a_o example_n the_o scripture_n show_v we_o that_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n he_o must_v retire_v into_o himself_o and_o discharge_v his_o mind_n of_o all_o caces_fw-la of_o all_o passion_n and_o of_o all_o other_o like_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v he_o so_o as_o we_o must_v be_v utter_o overthrow_v by_o feel_v our_o own_o wretchedness_n that_o we_o may_v seek_v help_n at_o god_n hand_n lo_o how_o prayer_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a prerogative_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o life_n and_o yet_o come_v we_o once_o to_o pray_v we_o see_v ourselves_o to_o be_v so_o fleshly_a that_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o many_o wicked_a fancy_n which_o we_o can_v not_o quite_o and_o clean_o leave_v and_o although_o we_o have_v some_o

the_o rest_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n be_v in_o deed_n every_o one_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o perceive_v it_o well_o enough_o and_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a shame_n that_o we_o must_v be_v tell_v these_o

the_o justify_n of_o our_o own_o righteousness_n it_o be_v true_a that_o job_n go_v about_o no_o such_o thing_n and_o that_o eliphas_n do_v he_o wrong_v and_o injury_n in_o accuse_v he_o of_o pride_n but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o lesson_n and_o consider_v advise_o what_o be_v say_v here_o of_o man_n for_o they_o be_v not_o only_o charge_v with_o frailty_n as_o the_o papist_n themselves_o will_v easy_o confess_v that_o we_o be_v weak_a and_o therefore_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sufficient_a righteousness_n in_o we_o too_o satisfy_v god_n but_o we_o be_v lead_v further_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o man_n be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v not_o demand_v in_o this_o sentence_n how_o man_n can_v justify_v themselves_o sith_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n but_o be_v bewrap_v in_o many_o imperfection_n load_v with_o so_o many_o infirmity_n so_o inconstant_a and_o fleet_a and_o such_o other_o term_n which_o may_v be_v speak_v against_o man_n without_o come_v too_o the_o very_a point_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n can_v justify_v themselves_o because_o as_o they_o be_v abominable_a and_o filthy_a and_o drink_v iniquity_n as_o water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v their_o proper_a nourishment_n be_v sin_n and_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o and_o to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o the_o body_n draw_v his_o sustenance_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_v so_o also_o man_n have_v none_o other_o stuff_n in_o they_o but_o sin_n all_o be_v corrupt_v not_o that_o the_o very_a substance_n as_o man_n term_v it_o of_o our_o body_n and_o of_o our_o soul_n be_v a_o evil_a thing_n for_o we_o be_v god_n workmanship_n but_o in_o this_o case_n we_o speak_v gross_o to_o express_v that_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v in_o we_o be_v attaint_v with_o evil_a very_o our_o body_n in_o their_o own_o be_v be_v the_o good_a creature_n of_o god_n and_o so_o likewise_o be_v our_o soul_n but_o all_o that_o be_v in_o they_o be_v pervert_v for_o whereas_o god_n create_v our_o soul_n good_a they_o notwithstanding_o be_v infect_v with_o evil_a and_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n in_o they_o which_o be_v not_o stain_v and_o utter_o imbase_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o then_o first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n betwixt_o weakness_n and_o corruption_n for_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n be_v weak_a as_o the_o papist_n prattle_n the_o heathen_a man_n have_v say_v full_a as_o much_o and_o who_o be_v he_o that_o say_v not_o so_o the_o paynim_n have_v say_v that_o man_n be_v inconstant_a that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o follow_v virtue_n and_o that_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o vice_n the_o paynim_n i_o say_v know_v all_o this_o well_o enough_o and_o the_o papist_n themselves_o will_v confess_v it_o at_o this_o day_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o know_v not_o of_o a_o very_a truth_n that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n in_o man_n and_o that_o they_o be_v abominable_a before_o god_n until_o he_o have_v reclaim_v they_o by_o his_o grace_n how_o be_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o presume_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v they_o here_o abominable_a stink_a filthy_a and_o noughtworth_n behold_v also_o how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n god_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v one_o righteous_a man_n and_o he_o find_v not_o one_o they_o be_v all_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n they_o be_v all_o become_v abominable_a and_o stink_a true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o stead_n of_o stink_a some_o have_v translate_v unprofitable_a but_o the_o very_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v wither_v away_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v in_o we_o â–ª_o but_o be_v as_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v and_o it_o be_v say_v express_o in_o the_o psalm_n that_o god_n know_v man_n to_o be_v so_o and_o why_o because_o man_n will_v always_o be_v their_o own_o judge_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v that_o forsooth_o we_o will_v have_v god_n tie_v to_o our_o fancy_n and_o because_o we_o think_v ourselves_o man_n of_o sufficient_a ability_n we_o will_v that_o god_n shall_v content_v himself_o with_o our_o opinion_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n it_o be_v say_v that_o let_v man_n justify_v themselves_o as_o they_o list_v let_v every_o man_n cratch_v his_o fellow_n itch_n let_v they_o soothe_v one_o another_o in_o their_o naughtiness_n
but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v take_v the_o more_o profit_n by_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o process_n of_o eliphassis_n word_n hear_v i_o say_v he_o and_o i_o will_v rel_z thou_o what_o i_o have_v see_v he_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o experience_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v that_o the_o same_o doctrine_n be_v receive_v and_o hold_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n among_o the_o wise_a man_n too_o who_o god_n have_v give_v the_o grace_n not_o only_o to_o be_v able_a to_o rule_v well_o themselves_o but_o also_o to_o have_v the_o government_n of_o realm_n and_o country_n and_o he_o add_v that_o they_o hold_v they_o peaceable_o with_o out_o any_o pass_n of_o stranger_n through_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o any_o man_n usurp_a of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o their_o hand_n very_o whensoever_o god_n endue_v man_n with_o excellent_a gift_n we_o must_v not_o despise_v the_o same_o but_o consider_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o they_o and_o that_o if_o we_o be_v so_o scornful_a as_o to_o refuse_v that_o which_o they_o tell_v we_o the_o injury_n thereof_o redound_v not_o to_o a_o mortal_a wight_n but_o too_o the_o live_a god_n for_o thereafter_o as_o god_n utter_v his_o gracious_a gift_n so_o will_v he_o have_v we_o also_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o our_o common_a profit_n eliphas_n therefore_o have_v some_o good_a colour_n and_o pretence_n to_o allege_v the_o authority_n of_o such_o as_o have_v rule_v realm_n and_o country_n but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o enough_o except_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o speak_v and_o for_o performance_n thereof_o ought_v we_o to_o trust_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n command_v we_o too_o be_v teachable_a and_o not_o to_o be_v stubborneharted_a and_o hard_a to_o yield_v obedience_n when_o we_o know_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v tell_v we_o be_v true_a and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v receive_v but_o if_o they_o fall_v to_o turn_v of_o the_o truth_n upside_o down_o and_o to_o convert_n of_o it_o into_o falsehood_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o man_n shall_v be_v wend_v unto_o they_o therefore_o we_o must_v bear_v this_o point_n well_o in_o remembrance_n for_o we_o see_v there_o be_v two_o ungracious_a extremity_n the_o one_o be_v when_o man_n reject_v all_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o man_n among_o we_o who_o god_n have_v advance_v above_o other_o and_o unto_o who_o he_o have_v deal_v great_a abundance_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n it_o be_v certain_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o in_o despise_v they_o wrong_a be_v offer_v unto_o god_n neverthlesse_a we_o see_v many_o stubborn_a folk_n which_o will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o counsel_n or_o advise_v of_o any_o man_n there_o be_v also_o another_o extremity_n which_o be_v that_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o

special_o in_o cacos_fw-la of_o salvation_n â–ª_o true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v ordinance_n and_o civil_a policy_n of_o man_n whereto_o we_o must_v be_v obedient_a but_o yet_o be_v all_o that_o refer_v unto_o he_o and_o depend_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n you_o see_v here_o a_o resolute_a point_n which_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v teach_v at_o his_o hand_n for_o when_o we_o yield_v such_o authority_n unto_o man_n what_o do_v we_o else_o but_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o authority_n and_o pre-eminence_n this_o extremity_n therefore_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o the_o mean_a betwixt_o these_o two_o vice_n be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v bestow_v of_o his_o gracious_a gift_n upon_o any_o man_n we_o must_v have_v he_o in_o estimation_n take_v counsel_n willing_o at_o his_o hand_n and_o understand_v that_o in_o despise_v he_o we_o do_v wrong_v unto_o god_n because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v honour_v such_o be_v it_o so_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o discern_v lest_o we_o be_v beguile_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o some_o opinion_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v conceive_v of_o some_o mortal_a man_n and_o thereby_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n and_o god_n also_o disfeat_v of_o his_o pre-eminence_n by_o the_o same_o thus_o much_o concern_v this_o point_n now_o eliphas_n add_v that_o these_o man_n have_v not_o conceal_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v learn_v of_o their_o forefather_n wherein_o he_o show_v that_o they_o have_v behave_v themselves_o faithful_o for_o whensoever_o god_n give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o be_v well_o teach_v he_o do_v it_o not_o for_o ourselves_o only_o but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o other_o also_o shall_v be_v draw_v to_o the_o same_o knowledge_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v partaker_n together_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v give_v we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v that_o

whereunto_o we_o ourselves_o be_v enter_v already_o he_o that_o know_v god_n truth_n must_v not_o keep_v it_o close_o to_o himself_o as_o though_o it_o be_v but_o for_o he_o alone_o what_o then_o he_o

to_o stick_v too_o in_o this_o sentence_n nevertheless_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o job_n mean_v be_v very_o true_a that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v not_o punish_v for_o his_o sin_n

indifferency_n in_o it_o this_o may_v be_v speak_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o shall_v not_o be_v evil_a for_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o double_a

be_v impossible_a to_o do_v but_o we_o will_v put_v the_o case_n it_o be_v do_v yet_o have_v we_o not_o satisfy_v god_n according_a to_o his_o perfect_a righteousness_n but_o we_o shall_v have_v

have_v since_o adam_n sin_v but_o such_o as_o we_o have_v by_o our_o creation_n from_o god_n put_v the_o case_n that_o then_o we_o be_v angel_n go_v too_o â–ª_o we_o may_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o

no_o proportionableness_n betwixt_o they_o so_o then_o our_o lord_n do_v now_o and_o then_o punish_v man_n for_o their_o sin_n even_o according_a to_o the_o curse_n that_o he_o have_v set_v forth_o

of_o job._n for_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v why_o he_o do_v it_o when_o we_o have_v seek_v the_o uttermost_a we_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o too_o be_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o therefore_o there_o must_v

and_o isaac_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o god_n have_v conspire_v against_o they_o too_o make_v they_o pass_v through_o all_o the_o adversity_n and_o misery_n that_o can_v be_v devize_v as_o much_o be_v too_o be_v say_v of_o david_n be_v it_o for_o that_o they_o be_v more_o disorder_v than_o other_o
then_o that_o we_o ought_v too_o use_v great_a discretion_n in_o comfort_v such_o as_o be_v afflict_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o job_n tell_v his_o friend_n it_o be_v much_o better_o for_o they_o too_o hold_v their_o peace_n than_o too_o increase_v his_o trouble_n by_o speak_v and_o he_o will_v take_v their_o silence_n for_o a_o comfort_n yea_o and_o he_o add_v that_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o he_o will_v give_v they_o leave_v to_o mock_v on_o not_o that_o he_o mean_v that_o they_o may_v have_v reason_n so_o to_o do_v but_o he_o rebuke_v they_o for_o

have_v hear_v he_o and_o so_o when_o he_o say_v that_o they_o may_v mock_v on_o when_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o speak_v he_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o disorder_n and_o rashness_n in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o descant_n upon_o a_o unknown_a matter_n whereof_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o thorough_o inform_v therefore_o we_o have_v a_o common_a doctrine_n to_o mark_v in_o this_o

ought_v we_o too_o mind_v it_o because_o we_o see_v that_o man_n be_v by_o nature_n overmuche_o incline_v to_o this_o rashness_n and_o overhastinesse_n for_o although_o we_o will_v fain_o be_v

for_o we_o can_v judge_v our_o neighbour_n after_o that_o sort_n at_o adventure_n without_o a_o double_a despise_v of_o god_n goodness_n why_o so_o for_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o his_o

they_o ought_v to_o speak_v he_o have_v protest_v the_o like_a already_o heretofore_o how_o beit_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o repeat_v it_o again_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v
certain_a that_o while_o we_o wander_v here_o below_o our_o talk_n will_v always_o trail_n a_o long_a train_n of_o superfluity_n after_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o go_v to_o the_o matter_n round_o and_o substantial_o as_o we_o ought_v too_o do_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o snarl_v our_o word_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o a_o man_n can_v wring_v out_o any_o pure_a truth_n out_o of_o we_o it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o man_n for_o beside_o that_o man_n do_v blear_v themselves_o and_o discern_v not_o thing_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o on_o our_o side_n be_v already_o incline_v to_o follow_v it_o and_o the_o devil_n also_o thrust_v himself_o in_o too_o make_v a_o hotchopotche_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o then_o our_o word_n shall_v never_o be_v well_o convey_v and_o clear_a except_o we_o have_v god_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o speak_v as_o in_o his_o presence_n on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o be_v never_o thorough_o touch_v when_o we_o

be_v not_o apparent_a lo_o how_o man_n fall_v asleep_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o never_o speak_v free_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v unless_o they_o know_v that_o god_n summon_v they_o before_o he_o

this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o job_n protest_v here_o that_o his_o talk_n be_v not_o unto_o man_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v regard_n of_o our_o neighbour_n when_o we_o talk_v with_o they_o that_o our_o word_n may_v edify_v they_o for_o if_o we_o cast_v forth_o light_a and_o wander_a speech_n we_o shall_v lay_v stumble_v block_n in_o their_o way_n and_o we_o may_v hurt_v they_o diverse_a way_n therefore_o when_o we_o speak_v to_o man_n we_o must_v bethink_v ourselves_o afore_o hand_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v have_v regard_n that_o it_o may_v be_v to_o their_o profit_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o have_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v here_o of_o job_n which_o be_v to_o put_v god_n before_o job_n then_o mean_v not_o single_o that_o he_o despise_v

as_o too_o please_v man_n only_o and_o to_o forget_v god_n or_o too_o put_v he_o behind_o they_o but_o rather_o that_o when_o he_o speak_v he_o make_v his_o reckon_v aforehand_o that_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n so_o as_o all_o his_o thought_n be_v know_v too_o that_o heavenly_a judge_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v not_o disguise_v himself_o nor_o think_v too_o further_o his_o case_n by_o conceal_v the_o truth_n lo_o whereat_o job_n look_v and_o so_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o let_v we_o have_v the_o wit_n to_o pray_v god_n to_o call_v we_o thorough_o

the_o sense_n be_v that_o such_o as_o do_v so_o direct_v their_o talk_n to_o man_n without_o regard_n of_o god_n shall_v quail_v in_o the_o end_n and_o that_o when_o they_o have_v make_v fair_a

and_o roll_v so_o trim_o in_o their_o rhetoric_n as_o their_o word_n will_v utter_o blear_v man_n eye_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o wonder_n too_o hear_v they_o speak_v hereupon_o they_o streak_n themselves_o when_o man_n soothe_v they_o but_o in_o the_o end_n god_n pinch_v they_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o he_o show_v that_o all_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n god_n then_o take_v away_o that_o

well_o this_o reason_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o come_v unto_o god_n of_o our_o own_o accord_n and_o to_o have_v a_o care_n to_o speak_v as_o in_o his_o presence_n before_o he_o

but_o let_v we_o follow_v job_n that_o be_v too_o say_v let_v we_o seek_v to_o hold_v ourselves_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o judge_n and_o let_v we_o go_v to_o he_o with_o all_o humbleness_n

it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v eschew_v he_o no_o but_o it_o behoove_v we_o on_o our_o part_n to_o come_v near_o unto_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n

we_o draw_v near_o unto_o our_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o first_o let_v we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o hide_v from_o he_o that_o all_o thing_n must_v come_v to_o

to_o god_n &_o say_v that_o they_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o thrust_v he_o out_o of_o all_o authority_n that_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o tread_v he_o under_o foot_n oh_o say_v they_o we_o

let_v we_o learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o whensoever_o god_n send_v his_o word_n amongst_o we_o let_v we_o tremble_v at_o it_o &_o thereby_o declare_v that_o we_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v present_a with_o our_o god_n always_o to_o behold_v he_o and_o to_o walk_v as_o they_o that_o know_v very_o well_o that_o we_o must_v make_v a_o account_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n before_o he_o and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v his_o hand_n and_o moreover_o let_v we_o long_o for_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o god_n but_o we_o must_v desire_v to_o be_v always_o in_o his_o sight_n &_o under_o his_o guide_n for_o sometime_o the_o most_o wicked_a will_v have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v

every_o man_n be_v nourish_v and_o sustain_v thus_o then_o be_v the_o rich_fw-fr man_n warn_v not_o to_o despise_v the_o poor_a so_o proud_o as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v &_o the_o poor_a also_o to_o walk_v according_a to_o their_o degree_n and_o small_a hability_n and_o all_o man_n to_o live_v as_o though_o they_o be_v lodge_v in_o this_o world_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o nourish_v by_o his_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v say_v moreover_o that_o job_n have_v send_v away_o the_o widow_n without_o any_o

for_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o pleasure_v they_o of_o who_o we_o look_v for_o recompense_v but_o contrariwise_o god_n intend_v to_o prove_v our_o charity_n whither_o we_o will_v do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o able_a to_o requite_v we_o and_o beside_o that_o look_v where_o man_n be_v oppress_v there_o must_v we_o apply_v such_o mean_n as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o widow_n &_o fatherless_a child_n &_o therefore_o god_n have_v commend_v they_o unto_o we_o he_o join_v also_o stranger_n with_o they_o because_o they_o have_v not_o many_o kinsfolk_n nor_o be_v ally_v or_o link_v to_o a_o long_a train_n of_o friend_n by_o who_o they_o may_v be_v maintain_v so_o much_o the_o more_o it_o become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n to_o have_v pity_n upon_o such_o person_n to_o be_v brief_a we_o see_v that_o god_n in_o his_o law_n &_o throughout_o the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n declare_v himself_o to_o be_v more_o grievous_o offend_v when_o widow_n and_o fatherless_a child_n &_o stranger_n be_v afflict_v than_o when_o any_o other_o man_n be_v hurt_v or_o harm_v because_o that_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o succour_n and_o therefore_o so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o have_v pity_n on_o they_o and_o because_o they_o have_v no_o mean_n to_o requite_v we_o we_o show_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o extend_v our_o charity_n to_o they_o and_o also_o god_n do_v acknowledge_v the_o same_o and_o put_v it_o in_o his_o account_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o profitable_a so_o to_o entreat_v the_o stranger_n widow_n &_o fatherless_a child_n than_o if_o man_n have_v already_o recompense_v we_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o vex_v those_o that_o as_o now_o do_v lie_v open_a to_o so_o many_o injury_n and_o do_v add_v evil_a upon_o evil_a we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o mischief_n and_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o be_v void_a of_o all_o human_a judgement_n and_o become_v like_a unto_o brute_n beast_n &_o therefore_o eliphas_n to_o reprove_v this_o sin_n say_v here_o thou_o have_v reject_v the_o widow_n and_o not_o succour_v she_o thou_o have_v not_o help_v the_o fatherless_a when_o he_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o weak_a to_o be_v support_v by_o they_o that_o have_v best_a mean_n and_o be_v most_o able_a if_o we_o do_v not_o so_o we_o show_v ourselves_o not_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o whereunto_o do_v god_n

that_o although_o god_n be_v pitiful_a to_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o although_o his_o goodness_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o all_o man_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o tell_v we_o special_o that_o he_o

now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o eliphas_n say_v for_o this_o cause_n do_v snare_n compass_v thou_o on_o every_o side_n and_o sudden_a fear_n make_v thou_o astonish_v we_o must_v always_o

truth_n it_o be_v as_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n all_o alike_o nevertheless_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o we_o be_v thereby_o

although_o god_n purpose_v some_o other_o end_n than_o the_o punish_n of_o our_o sin_n yet_o it_o behove_v every_o of_o we_o to_o consider_v himself_o when_o he_o be_v visit_v of_o god_n and_o not_o

which_o befall_v he_o i_o not_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o sin_n but_o for_o some_o extraordinary_a purpose_n of_o god_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o man_n he_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v stand_v

be_v a_o unrecoverable_a fool_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o job_n proceed_v here_o for_o first_o of_o all_o he_o declare_v his_o intent_n and_o show_v himself_o not_o to_o be_v embrue_v

of_o any_o thing_n let_v we_o look_v near_o to_o it_o and_o sift_v it_o thorough_o and_o if_o we_o have_v not_o skill_n enough_o to_o do_v it_o as_o it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o acknowledge_v

maintain_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v no_o skill_n of_o and_o whereof_o we_o be_v not_o well_o assure_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v first_o look_v through_o it_o and_o be_v discrete_a to_o judge_v

whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v shake_v from_o it_o and_o this_o declare_v to_o we_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o faith_n for_o we_o believe_v not_o upon_o a_o fickle_a

only_o some_o imagination_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v bewitch_v by_o satan_n at_o leastwise_o if_o they_o be_v wed_v to_o it_o as_o man_n say_v behold_v the_o turk_n they_o

that_o we_o know_v to_o be_v good_a must_v never_o escape_v we_o neither_o must_v we_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v turn_v from_o it_o but_o we_o must_v so_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o may_v

this_o mark_n then_o shall_v we_o not_o rove_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v for_o whereof_o come_v this_o vice_n that_o man_n can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o

no_o man_n wrong_v willing_o and_o to_o pronounce_v sentence_n according_a to_o that_o which_o he_o see_v but_o also_o he_o must_v be_v diligent_a in_o bolt_v out_o of_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o

too_o spy_v out_o thing_n himself_o and_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v dark_a and_o doubtful_a he_o must_v bend_v all_o his_o wit_n about_o it_o too_o the_o end_n to_o be_v well_o inform_v of_o it_o now_o if_o such_o diligence_n be_v require_v in_o all_o judge_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o when_o they_o shut_v their_o eye_n willing_o &_o let_v thing_n pass_v for_o favour_n or_o

how_o horrible_a damnation_n shall_v they_o have_v when_o they_o deal_v so_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v good_a heed_n to_o this_o doctrine_n for_o if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o serve_v god_n

to_o be_v short_a that_o he_o appayr_v his_o case_n by_o call_v upon_o god_n as_o though_o he_o do_v put_v god_n in_o mind_n too_o punish_v he_o the_o more_o you_o may_v see_v now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a temptation_n for_o a_o man_n to_o pray_v in_o his_o calamity_n and_o not_o to_o be_v hear_v and_o as_o job_n have_v feel_v that_o so_o may_v we_o also_o oftentimes_o feel_v it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o far_o great_a grief_n when_o we_o look_v to_o near_o upon_o it_o that_o be_v too_o say_v when_o our_o call_n upon_o god_n do_v so_o little_o avail_v we_o as_o it_o seem_v rather_o to_o

what_o shall_v seem_v unto_o the_o faithful_a as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o himself_o but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v hereupon_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v declare_v

but_o increase_v by_o it_o for_o although_o he_o hear_v we_o not_o at_o the_o first_o but_o pretend_v to_o be_v as_o yet_o still_o more_o stir_v against_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o although_o

vengeance_n be_v in_o the_o popedom_n see_v that_o those_o beast_n dare_v deny_v that_o a_o man_n sin_v when_o he_o be_v so_o tempt_v unto_o evil_a &_o have_v such_o provocation_n in_o he_o and_o

of_o that_o we_o have_v do_v nevertheless_o know_v this_o well_o enough_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o look_v more_o near_o to_o ourselves_o &_o see_v that_o god_n have_v grant_v we_o such_o grace_n

by_o reason_n whereof_o we_o shall_v be_v take_v for_o little_a angel_n and_o thereupon_o think_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o amiss_o in_o we_o but_o what_o have_v we_o gain_v by_o it_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o behold_v how_o job_n call_v we_o up_o above_o very_o well_o true_a it_o be_v that_o sinner_n may_v perchance_o clear_v themselves_o and_o easy_o be_v allow_v among_o man_n for_o

notwithstanding_o he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o speak_v of_o but_o will_v stop_v every_o man_n mouth_n with_o his_o outface_v of_o it_o yea_o and_o many_o time_n he_o content_v not_o himself_o with_o such_o shameful_a denial_n but_o also_o fall_v too_o quarrel_v and_o threaten_v of_o they_o that_o speak_v of_o it_o then_o if_o man_n do_v hide_v their_o fault_n in_o job_n time_n they_o do_v it_o much_o more_o in_o these_o day_n â–ª_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a defence_n neither_o shall_v it_o be_v receive_v before_o god_n according_a as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o text_n although_o all_o man_n be_v hard-hearted_a and_o wilful_a so_o as_o no_o man_n will_v come_v to_o reason_n but_o when_o folk_n labour_n to_o draw_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n they_o kick_v against_o they_o like_o resty_a jade_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o job_n example_n be_v set_v forth_o for_o our_o learning_n and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o follow_v the_o common_a trade_n nor_o say_v every_o man_n do_v so_o it_o be_v the_o common_a custom_n no_o but_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o god_n who_o draw_v we_o the_o contrary_a way_n will_v man_n justify_v i_o and_o god_n will_v have_v every_o of_o we_o to_o condemn_v himself_o â–ª_o do_v man_n conceal_v their_o fault_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v unknown_a god_n will_v have_v we_o discover_v they_o yea_o even_o with_o all_o lowliness_n then_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o come_v to_o that_o point_n and_o not_o to_o say_v i_o see_v all_o man_n do_v so_o and_o it_o be_v every_o man_n custom_n what_o though_o man_n do_v so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o job_n but_o they_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v man_n do_v the_o like_a now_o adays_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o noman_n confess_v his_o fault_n yet_o nevertheless_o let_v the_o faithful_a learn_fw-mi to_o frame_v themselves_o to_o that_o which_o be_v show_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o only_o to_o mourn_v before_o god_n but_o also_o to_o show_v before_o man_n that_o they_o be_v sorry_a in_o their_o heart_n and_o condemn_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v become_v their_o own_o judge_n and_o obtain_v mercy_n of_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n by_o return_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o hypocrisy_n be_v condemn_v by_o this_o text_n the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v to_o abstain_v utter_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o it_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v so_o frail_a as_o we_o can_v live_v in_o this_o world_n without_o take_v many_o fall_n the_o remedy_n be_v to_o stoop_v and_o mourn_v before_o god_n and_o moreover_o not_o to_o go_v about_o too_o save_v our_o honesty_n in_o such_o wise_a afore_o man_n as_o we_o shall_v not_o yield_v ourselves_o guilty_a as_o often_o as_o need_v shall_v require_v true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n command_v not_o a_o man_n too_o proclaim_v it_o in_o the_o street_n when_o he_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o say_v i_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o fault_n for_o that_o be_v rather_o to_o cast_v a_o stumble_a block_n but_o yet_o it_o stand_v we_o upon_o to_o mark_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n namely_o first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o must_v be_v lowly_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v infect_v with_o many_o vice_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o a_o man_n despise_v all_o other_o man_n and_o can_v bear_v nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n but_o thunder_v at_o they_o when_o they_o have_v do_v amiss_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o i_o say_v but_o this_o hypocrisy_n for_o if_o we_o know_v our_o own_o infirmity_n sure_o they_o will_v as_o it_o be_v bridle_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o condemn_v other_o folk_n at_o adventure_n but_o begin_v at_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v and_o which_o be_v command_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o then_o be_v we_o mild_a and_o gentle_a in_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o confess_v our_o own_o sin_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v offend_v any_o man_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o reason_n for_o we_o see_v that_o otherwise_o we_o have_v no_o access_n unto_o god_n according_a also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v we_o that_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n shall_v not_o be_v accept_v unless_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o our_o neighbour_n when_o we_o have_v offend_v they_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o be_v sorry_a in_o their_o behalf_n if_o we_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o three_o when_o we_o have_v give_v any_o cause_n of_o stumble_v let_v we_o come_v humble_o to_o amend_v it_o yea_o and_o so_o to_o amend_v it_o as_o the_o evil_a may_v not_o be_v bear_v withal_o nor_o we_o kick_v against_o the_o spur_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o confession_n which_o the_o scripture_n require_v of_o we_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o all_o this_o come_v and_o proceed_v of_o the_o say_v right_o mean_v which_o we_o have_v in_o sorow_v before_o god_n for_o until_o we_o be_v full_o sorry_a at_o the_o heart_n that_o we_o have_v offend_v we_o shall_v never_o make_v a_o pure_a and_o right_a confession_n before_o man_n for_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v it_o shall_v be_v but_o feynednesse_n and_o so_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o which_o shall_v have_v confess_v themselves_o before_o god_n to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v will_v also_o have_v the_o modesty_n of_o not_o justify_v themselves_o afore_o man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mockery_n when_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v oh_o i_o i_o know_v myself_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o shall_v be_v so_o wilful_a towards_o man_n as_o no_o reason_n nor_o truth_n can_v be_v wring_v from_o he_o such_o a_o one_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v bewitch_v he_o and_o that_o he_o hide_v his_o fault_n and_o lay_v they_o up_o in_o his_o bosom_n as_o much_o as_o he_o possible_o can_v wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o point_n of_o feel_v our_o sin_n and_o of_o be_v ashamed_a too_o have_v transgress_v god_n law_n and_o too_o have_v do_v against_o his_o righteousness_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o pride_n to_o hinder_v we_o from_o make_v a_o pure_a confession_n and_o such_o as_o we_o ought_v too_o make_v before_o he_o furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o to_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v
down_o before_o he_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o therewithal_o also_o we_o must_v come_v from_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o man_n it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o horse_n his_o ox_n and_o his_o ass_n but_o the_o wicked_a man_n will_v turmoil_n their_o brethren_n and_o neighbour_n in_o eat_v up_o the_o sustenance_n of_o their_o life_n without_o any_o equity_n therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o beast_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o indifferent_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n which_o be_v our_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o of_o the_o self_n same_o nature_n that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v so_o that_o if_o we_o use_v any_o tyranny_n and_o cruelty_n that_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v fulfil_v on_o we_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n namely_o that_o our_o withhold_v of_o the_o wage_n of_o such_o as_o have_v travail_v and_o take_v pain_n for_o our_o profit_n shall_v cry_v unto_o heaven_n and_o all_o creature_n shall_v bear_v witness_n of_o the_o wrong_n &_o extortion_n that_o we_o have_v do_v to_o our_o neighbour_n according_a also_o as_o the_o prophet_n abacuk_n speak_v of_o it_o say_v that_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o house_n which_o be_v build_v with_o deceit_n &_o extortion_n shall_v cry_v out_o loud_a and_o shirle_z and_o play_v the_o quirrester_n in_o that_o behalf_n as_o they_o term_v they_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v answer_v one_o another_o on_o either_o side_n the_o one_o side_n sing_v behold_v blood_n the_o other_o behold_v murder_n the_o one_o behold_v deceit_n the_o other_o behold_v cruelty_n the_o one_o behold_v pill_v &_o poll_n the_o other_o behold_v covetousness_n the_o one_o behold_v perjury_n the_o other_o behold_v robbery_n and_o another_o behold_v spightfulness_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o according_a as_o we_o shall_v have_v abuse_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n so_o must_v they_o ask_v vengeance_n against_o we_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n hereby_o to_o walk_v with_o such_o conscience_n as_o we_o may_v go_v with_o our_o head_n upright_o not_o as_o perfect_v before_o god_n to_o bear_v out_o his_o judgement_n and_o vengeance_n but_o rather_o as_o it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o by_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n &_o so_o to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n according_a to_o the_o grace_n he_o shall_v have_v give_v us._n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o so_o to_o feel_v they_o as_o we_o may_v have_v our_o whole_a recourse_n unto_o his_o mercy_n and_o therewithal_o every_o of_o we_o so_o enforce_v himself_o to_o walk_v in_o pureness_n of_o life_n as_o we_o may_v be_v able_a by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o resist_v all_o temptation_n and_o to_o follow_v whether_o soever_o he_o call_v we_o and_o just_o protest_v that_o we_o have_v serve_v the_o

the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n we_o may_v seek_v altogether_o to_o please_v he_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n edify_v one_o another_o too_o draw_v even_o the_o silly_a ignorant_a sort_n to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n whereunto_o our_o good_a god_n call_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o that_o to_o the_o same_o end_n it_o may_v please_v he_o etc_n etc_n the_o cxix_o sermon_n which_o be_v the_o first_o upon_o the_o xxxij_o chapter_n these_o three_o man_n leave_v speak_v to_o job_n because_o he_o esteem_v himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a 2_o and_o eliu_n the_o son_n of_o barachel_n the_o buzite_n of_o the_o house_n of_o ram_n be_v angry_a and_o sore_o displeaze_v with_o job_n because_o he_o say_v he_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o god._n 3_o also_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o this_o three_o friend_n because_o they_o have_v make_v none_o answer_v and_o yet_o condemn_v job._n that_o we_o may_v fare_v the_o better_a by_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v here_o and_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n what_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o job_n have_v undertake_v a_o good_a case_n do_v handle_v it_o amiss_o and_o that_o those_o which_o come_v to_o comfort_v he_o have_v undertake_v a_o evil_a case_n use_v good_a argument_n &_o apparent_a reason_n whereof_o profitable_a doctrine_n may_v be_v gather_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o because_o they_o lay_v not_o a_o good_a foundation_n and_o there_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o job_n because_o he_o build_v amiss_o upon_o a_o foundation_n that_o be_v good_a in_o itself_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v now_o that_o eliu_n the_o buzite_n be_v angry_a &_o inflame_v with_o wrath_n because_o those_o say_a man_n have_v not_o disprove_v job_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o have_v condemn_v he_o and_o also_o that_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o job_n because_o he_o go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o about_o god._n so_o we_o see_v that_o this_o anger_n of_o elius_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n aswell_o against_o job_n as_o against_o his_o three_o friend_n that_o come_v to_o comfort_v he_o for_o although_o job_n

reason_n be_v to_o a_o evil_a purpose_n now_o in_o the_o mean_a whole_a it_o be_v say_v that_o job_n three_o friend_n leave_v off_o to_o dispute_v any_o more_o against_o he_o because_o he_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a we_o have_v see_v that_o job_n make_v not_o so_o great_a account_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n but_o that_o he_o think_v there_o be_v many_o fault_n to_o be_v

those_o which_o judge_v amiss_o of_o his_o affliction_n the_o opinion_n and_o imagination_n of_o job_n three_o friend_n be_v that_o job_n be_v a_o castaway_n before_o god_n because_o he_o be_v handle_v so_o rough_o but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o judge_v discret_o of_o the_o party_n who_o god_n correct_v for_o we_o must_v not_o conclude_v that_o every_o man_n be_v punish_v

therefore_o think_v that_o they_o have_v make_v the_o better_a market_n neither_o let_v we_o justify_v they_o because_o god_n spare_v they_o and_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n beat_v with_o god_n scourge_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o think_v he_o to_o be_v wicked_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n will_v try_v his_o patience_n &_o not_o punish_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n now_o job_n will_v not_o consent_v to_o this_o fond_a doctrine_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o seem_v to_o they_o to_o justify_v himself_o though_o he_o mean_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o as_o have_v be_v heretofore_o show_v let_v we_o beware_v of_o undertake_v any_o evil_a quarrel_n for_o we_o shall_v be_v blind_v and_o it_o will_v seem_v to_o we_o that_o if_o a_o man_n agree_v not_o full_o with_o we_o he_o be_v so_o condemn_v as_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o further_a talk_n with_o he_o but_o before_o

and_o although_o that_o such_o as_o do_v backbite_v we_o have_v their_o mouth_n stop_v and_o have_v not_o any_o reason_n to_o convince_v we_o withal_o yet_o they_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v

remain_v some_o good_a seed_n of_o religion_n among_o those_o that_o be_v wrap_v in_o many_o fond_a fancy_n and_o that_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a point_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o world_n do_v

forsake_v the_o right_a religion_n turn_v aside_o unto_o lie_n idolatry_n &_o all_o other_o disorder_n herein_o we_o see_v that_o man_n be_v exceed_o frail_a and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o hard_a than_o to_o hold_v they_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n &_o in_o good_a religion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o evil_a we_o be_v but_o too_o steadfast_a we_o can_v be_v bow_v aside_o and_o if_o a_o man_n will_v go_v about_o too_o amend_v the_o evil_a in_o we_o he_o know_v not_o at_o whinch_n end_n to_o begin_v neither_o can_z he_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o piteous_a hardheartedness_n in_o we_o but_o as_o for_o goodness_n we_o forgo_v it_o by-and-by_o there_o need_v nothing_o to_o thrust_v we_o from_o it_o we_o have_v a_o fair_a mirror_n

and_o here_o withal_o we_o see_v in_o this_o example_n of_o the_o person_n of_o eliu_n that_o god_n have_v always_o leave_v some_o good_a seed_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o darkness_n and_o that_o there_o have_v always_o be_v some_o good_a and_o holy_a doctrine_n and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n the_o unbeliever_n shall_v be_v leave_v unexcusable_a so_o as_o they_o can_v not_o allege_v that_o ignorance_n reign_v over_o all_o for_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o god_n be_v not_o serve_v and_o worship_v pure_o but_o for_o that_o man_n turn_v their_o back_n upon_o he_o and_o they_o do_v not_o that_o through_o a_o simplicity_n whereunto_o they_o may_v give_v some_o colour_n of_o honesty_n but_o rather_o of_o a_o stubborn_a wilfulness_n man_n be_v loath_a to_o be_v beguile_v yea_o or_o to_o seem_v to_o be_v beguile_v but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n they_o shut_v their_o eye_n quench_v all_o the_o light_n that_o shine_v in_o they_o and_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o give_v

that_o although_o these_o man_n be_v no_o prophet_n of_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o doctrine_n that_o proceed_v from_o they_o have_v such_o a_o majesty_n as_o it_o may_v right_a well_o beseem_v the_o person_n of_o prophet_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o they_o do_v misapply_v it_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v a_o excellent_a spirit_n in_o they_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v set_v out_o by_o they_o aught_o to_o be_v receive_v as_o out_o of_o the_o school_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o although_o these_o personage_n be_v so_o excellent_a yet_o be_v they_o not_o teach_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o if_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v at_o that_o time_n which_o thing_n be_v uncertain_a yet_o be_v they_o distant_a from_o the_o country_n of_o jury_n and_o have_v not_o any_o fellowship_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o god_n have_v simple_o appoint_v for_o his_o people_n we_o see_v then_o that_o man_n which_o have_v no_o scripture_n nor_o any_o thing_n save_o the_o doctrine_n which_o no_n and_o his_o child_n have_v spr●●_n abroad_o after_o the_o flood_n be_v prophet_n of_o god_n and_o have_v a_o excellent_a spirit_n and_o although_o they_o dwell_v in_o a_o strange_a country_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o a_o knowledge_n sufficient_a too_o edify_v all_o the_o common_a people_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o world_n can_v not_o be_v excuse_v of_o ignorance_n for_o although_o idolatry_n reign_v in_o the_o time_n of_o there_o and_o nacor_v and_o that_o they_o themselves_o also_o be_v idolator_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o

the_o other_o three_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o common_a corruption_n of_o that_o time_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o pure_a religion_n be_v not_o quite_o abolish_v among_o they_o but_o that_o
they_o have_v a_o sufficient_a doctrine_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o god_n and_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o the_o wilfulness_n and_o ignorance_n that_o be_v in_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o the_o first_o place_n also_o when_o we_o hear_v it_o say_v that_o god_n give_v man_n over_o to_o walk_v in_o destruction_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v not_o so_o gracious_a to_o all_o man_n as_o to_o give_v they_o the_o peculiar_a doctrine_n which_o he_o have_v reserve_v to_o his_o own_o people_n and_o church_n but_o yet_o be_v that_o no_o excuse_n for_o they_o god_n therefore_o do_v let_v all_o man_n run_v astray_o and_o they_o be_v all_o drown_v in_o destruction_n nevertheless_o there_o continue_v always_o some_o seed_n in_o their_o heart_n whereby_o they_o be_v so_o convict_v as_o they_o can_v not_o say_v that_o they_o know_v not_o god_n nor_o have_v any_o religion_n neither_o can_v any_o of_o they_o clear_v himself_o from_o it_o for_o it_o abide_v engrave_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o make_v by_o itself_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o heavenly_a majesty_n whereunto_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a very_o saint_n paul_n speak_v express_o of_o the_o record_n which_o god_n have_v imprint_v in_o his_o creature_n insomuch_o that_o the_o order_n of_o the_o world_n be_v

god_n then_o have_v leave_v these_o trace_n and_o crank_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o ignorant_a to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n may_v not_o cover_v themselves_o with_o any_o excuse_n but_o be_v

enlighten_v by_o it_o as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o they_o shall_v give_v over_o themselves_o to_o so_o gross_a a_o beastliness_n as_o to_o worship_v stock_n and_o stone_n to_o honour_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n to_o make_v puppet_n and_o quite_o and_o clean_o to_o forget_v the_o live_a god_n how_o can_v this_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v wilful_o run_v headlong_o against_o a_o thing_n at_o high_a noon_n or_o like_o the_o stumble_n of_o a_o drunken_a man_n that_o reel_v aside_o though_o he_o see_v the_o right_a

it_o warn_v we_o to_o be_v the_o more_o ware_n in_o walk_v while_o we_o have_v the_o light_n with_o we_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o if_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a to_o we_o as_o to_o show_v

and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n speak_v for_o he_o allege_v purposely_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n concern_v our_o be_v angry_a howbeit_o without_o offend_v and_o how_o be_v that_o do_v it_o be_v when_o a_o man_n enter_v into_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o search_v himself_o earnest_o and_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n unto_o other_o so_o much_o as_o to_o himself_o to_o condemn_v himself_o and_o too_o fight_v against_o his_o own_o passion_n you_o see_v then_o after_o what_o sort_n we_o may_v be_v angry_a and_o at_o what_o point_n we_o must_v begin_v our_o anger_n if_o we_o will_v have_v it_o allow_v of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n every_o man_n must_v begin_v at_o himself_o and_o be_v angry_a at_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o vice_n and_o cast_v up_o our_o choler_n at_o they_o in_o that_o we_o see_v we_o have_v provoke_v god_n wrath_n against_o we_o and_o be_v full_a of_o so_o much_o wretchedness_n let_v we_o be_v angry_a and_o grieve_a at_o that_o let_v that_o be_v the_o point_n for_o we_o too_o begin_v at_o and_o afterward_o let_v we_o condemn_v the_o evil_a wheresoever_o it_o be_v find_v as_o well_o in_o ourselves_o as_o in_o our_o friend_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v lead_v with_o any_o private_a hatred_n to_o cast_v out_o our_o rage_n upon_o any_o man_n because_o we_o be_v fore_o possess_v with_o some_o evil_a affection_n after_o this_o manner_n shall_v our_o anger_n be_v allowable_a and_o shall_v show_v that_o the_o same_o proceed_v of_o a_o true_a zeal_n to_o godward_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o always_o be_v able_a too_o keep_v measure_n for_o although_o a_o godly_a zeal_n reign_v in_o we_o yet_o shall_v we_o still_o do_v amiss_o in_o exceed_v measure_n if_o god_n restrain_v we_o not_o therefore_o in_o this_o zealousness_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o have_v both_o discretion_n and_o stay_v of_o ourselves_o but_o yet_o nevertheless_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o this_o anger_n shall_v be_v allowable_a if_o it_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o say_a fountain_n that_o be_v too_o say_v if_o we_o hate_v the_o evil_a wheresoever_o we_o find_v it_o even_o though_o it_o be_v in_o our_o own_o person_n now_o than_o what_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v first_o and_o foremost_a that_o we_o must_v not_o condemn_v all_o anger_n and_o that_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n chafe_v or_o in_o a_o choler_n we_o must_v not_o always_o take_v it_o for_o a_o vice_n as_o we_o see_v these_o scorner_n of_o god_n do_v which_o say_v oh_o will_v you_o storm_v so_o be_v it_o meet_v you_o shall_v be_v angry_a may_v you_o not_o use_v a_o quiet_a fashion_n they_o blaspheme_v and_o despise_v god_n wicked_o according_a as_o there_o be_v many_o to_o be_v see_v which_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o overthrow_v all_o doctrine_n seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o spread_v such_o corruption_n abroad_o as_o man_n may_v not_o any_o more_o know_v god_n and_o that_o his_o truth_n may_v be_v bury_v and_o when_o they_o have_v so_o do_v they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o wink_v at_o they_o or_o rather_o to_o allow_v all_o their_o do_n and_o to_o tell_v

without_o be_v angry_a how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o mortal_a and_o transitory_a creature_n lift_v up_o himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n against_o god_n to_o trample_v all_o good_a doctrine_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o bear_v it_o patient_o we_o shall_v show_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v no_o zeal_n of_o god_n in_o we_o for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o the_o zeal_n of_o god_n house_n ought_v to_o eat_v we_o up_o for_o if_o we_o have_v a_o worm_n gnaw_v upon_o our_o heart_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o grieve_v we_o so_o much_o as_o when_o there_o be_v any_o reproach_n do_v unto_o god_n and_o when_o we_o see_v his_o truth_n turn_v into_o a_o lie_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o wink_v at_o vice_n but_o let_v we_o discern_v between_o godly_a zeal_n and_o the_o fleshly_a anger_n wherewith_o man_n be_v move_v and_o inflame_v in_o their_o own_o quarrel_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v the_o here_o that_o eliu_n be_v kindle_v with_o displeasure_n and_o in_o a_o hot_a anger_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v reckon_v too_o he_o for_o a_o virtue_n for_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n

furthermore_o according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o utter_v our_o choler_n when_o we_o see_v god_n honour_n wound_v and_o when_o man_n go_v about_o to_o darken_v

that_o he_o will_v bliss_n their_o honest_a behaviour_n and_o make_v they_o to_o profit_v more_o in_o two_o year_n than_o those_o overhast_a efellowe_n shall_v do_v in_o four_o we_o see_v what_o

namely_o that_o they_o must_v yield_v honour_n to_o their_o elder_n acknowledge_v that_o they_o for_o their_o own_o part_n may_v have_v excessive_a passion_n which_o have_v need_v to_o be_v restrain_v

to_o ehe_fw-ge shame_n of_o those_o that_o have_v live_v long_o and_o misspend_v the_o time_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o or_o rather_o utter_o lose_v it_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mean_v which_o we_o have_v to_o hold_v be_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o young_a folk_n bear_v to_o their_o elder_n must_v not_o hinder_v the_o continual_a maintenance_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v honour_v &_o vice_n suppress_v for_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o elder_a sort_n shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o god_n spirit_n or_o else_o lewd_a person_n that_o shall_v have_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o craft_n and_o unfaithfulness_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v be_v wilful_a and_o brainless_a now_o in_o such_o caces_fw-la ought_v young_a folk_n to_o be_v

and_o holy_a no._n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o this_o modesty_n import_v not_o that_o young_a man_n shall_v become_v sheepishe_a to_o discern_v and_o know_v nothing_o but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o they_o presume_v not_o of_o themselves_o to_o skirmish_n and_o cast_v their_o froth_n before_o their_o time_n let_v they_o hearken_v let_v they_o be_v teachable_a let_v they_o be_v

see_v the_o elder_a sort_n show_v not_o good_a example_n special_o that_o they_o pervert_v the_o good_a by_o turn_v it_o into_o evil_n then_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v mete_v that_o god_n spirit_n shall_v show_v itself_o where_o it_o be_v like_o as_o in_o our_o time_n they_o that_o have_v be_v mislead_v in_o the_o superstition_n of_o popery_n the_o long_a they_o have_v live_v in_o the_o world_n have_v still_o the_o lesser_a knowledge_n now_o to_o tarry_v till_o god_n shall_v serve_v his_o turn_n by_o they_o i_o mean_v common_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a these_o than_o be_v age_a man_n that_o have_v have_v long_a experience_n but_o what_o for_o that_o they_o have_v be_v plunge_v in_o darkness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o pureness_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n of_o any_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o they_o now_o if_o god_n listen_v to_o call_v young_a man_n to_o publish_v his_o word_n abroad_o it_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v so_o bridle_a that_o young_a man_n may_v not_o speak_v and_o old_a man_n be_v content_v to_o hear_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o like_a as_o god_n call_v some_o of_o all_o sort_n so_o have_v it_o common_o be_v his_o will_n to_o be_v serve_v by_o the_o elder_a sort_n nevertheless_o he_o have_v declare_v also_o that_o his_o truth_n be_v not_o tie_v unto_o age_n so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o what_o modesty_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o all_o man_n general_o and_o special_o in_o young_a man_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o must_v yield_v

have_v need_v too_o be_v guide_v and_o govern_v by_o those_o that_o be_v of_o more_o experience_n this_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v restrain_v from_o judge_v under_o the_o shadow_n of_o

be_v so_o for_o discretion_n ought_v to_o be_v match_v with_o zeal_n according_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n contain_v both_o of_o they_o in_o he_o so_o than_o if_o there_o be_v modesty_n in_o man_n there_o must_v be_v also_o zeal_n and_o discretion_n and_o we_o must_v not_o only_o not_o be_v bridle_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o such_o as_o have_v live_v

have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o if_o all_o the_o old_a man_n in_o the_o popedom_n have_v conspire_v against_o the_o gospel_n and_o will_v have_v other_o man_n to_o stand_v to_o their_o accustom_a

although_o that_o the_o old_a man_n set_v themselves_o against_o they_o and_o will_v have_v all_o other_o man_n to_o hold_v themselves_o to_o their_o custom_n because_o they_o have_v maintain_v the_o evil_a a_o long_a time_n for_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v better_a grace_n ought_v to_o step_v up_o against_o they_o howbeit_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o pass_v further_o and_o if_o any_o

man_n blind_v &_o so_o plunge_v in_o ignorance_n as_o they_o can_v come_v to_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o not_o marvel_v at_o it_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v man_n natural_a kind_n not_o to_o discern_v any_o whit_n of_o god_n secret_n until_o we_o be_v enlighten_v but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n that_o know_v god_n whether_o he_o be_v young_a or_o old_a or_o if_o we_o see_v a_o old_a man_n that_o have_v be_v sape_v a_o long_a while_n in_o the_o dotage_n of_o papistry_n come_v too_o right_a religion_n let_v we_o assure_v our_o self_n that_o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o miracle_n in_o that_o case_n also_o if_o we_o see_v young_a folk_n come_v to_o it_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n draw_v they_o to_o he_o after_o a_o marvelous_a fashion_n for_o they_o do_v not_o easy_o receive_v the_o yoke_n because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o presumption_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o then_o if_o god_n tame_v they_o and_o make_v they_o teachable_a it_o be_v his_o mighty_a hand_n that_o have_v bring_v they_o unto_o it_o and_o so_o we_o se_fw-mi that_o this_o text_n ought_v to_o serve_v we_o in_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o see_v that_o by_o our_o wit_n can_v never_o reach_v so_o high_a as_o to_o know_v god_n or_o his_o truth_n we_o ought_v to_o put_v our_o own_o reason_n from_o we_o and_o to_o renounce_v it_o utter_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n term_v too_o be_v make_v a_o fool_n then_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o lord_n to_o fill_v we_o with_o his_o wisdom_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o become_v fool_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o bring_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o nor_o ween_v ourselves_o to_o have_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o for_o that_o be_v a_o shet_n of_o the_o door_n against_o god_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o continue_v the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v give_v we_o any_o portion_n of_o it_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o exalt_v and_o magnify_v he_o as_o he_o deserve_v and_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a understanding_n in_o we_o till_o god_n have_v put_v it_o into_o we_o and_o again_o the_o same_o must_v cause_v we_o to_o persist_v always_o in_o his_o obedience_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o great_a fear_n and_o carefulness_n see_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v quench_v the_o light_n that_o he_o have_v put_v into_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o darkness_n yea_o and_o in_o so_o horrible_a darkness_n as_o we_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o place_n the_o second_o be_v that_o although_o we_o see_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n go_v astray_v and_o scarce_o any_o man_n willing_a too_o submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o order_n as_o too_o play_v the_o wild_a beast_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o give_v understanding_n wherefore_o let_v the_o same_o be_v a_o ground_n for_o we_o to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n the_o more_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o not_o be_v carry_v away_o though_o we_o see_v such_o rebelliousness_n and_o why_o for_o man_n do_v but_o follow_v their_o own_o kind_n they_o follow_v their_o own_o head_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n resist_v god_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n surmount_v all_o man_n reason_n and_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o work_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o open_v their_o eye_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v abide_v continual_o in_o their_o beastliness_n final_o eliu_n conclude_v thereupon_o that_o great_a man_n be_v not_o always_o wise_a and_o that_o sometime_o age_a man_n have_v no_o understanding_n skill_n nor_o discretion_n more_o than_o other_o man_n true_o eliu_n mean_v not_o here_o to_o pervert_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o he_o have_v protest_v heretofore_o that_o he_o will_v hearken_v to_o the_o age_a and_o be_v willing_a to_o submit_v himself_o too_o their_o doctrine_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v too_o age_n nor_o to_o the_o state_n and_o quality_n of_o man_n when_o it_o please_v god_n too_o advance_v a_o man_n too_o dignity_n if_o he_o will_v have_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o the_o welfare_n of_o his_o people_n he_o endue_v he_o with_o grace_n to_o be_v able_a to_o discharge_v his_o office_n otherwise_o he_o leave_v he_o destitute_a and_o the_o high_a that_o a_o man_n be_v in_o degree_n the_o more_o shall_v he_o be_v know_v to_o be_v a_o double_a beast_n as_o for_o example_n
man_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v his_o ordinary_a justice_n too_o punish_v sin_n nevertheless_o sometime_o it_o be_v his_o will_n too_o try_v the_o obedience_n of_o good_a man_n and_o of_o such_o as_o have_v serve_v he_o and_o apply_v their_o whole_a endeavour_n too_o follow_v his_o commandment_n yea_o and_o those_o shall_v be_v handle_v with_o great_a rigour_n than_o the_o wicked_a and_o why_o for_o god_n intend_v to_o teach_v they_o what_o it_o be_v too_o be_v humble_a and_o obedient_a see_v the_o case_n stand_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o refrain_v from_o hasty_a judgement_n when_o any_o man_n be_v afflict_v for_o god_n will_v also_o preserve_v his_o servant_n from_o the_o temptation_n that_o he_o send_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o they_o have_v by_o any_o mean_v provoke_v he_o too_o displeasure_n he_o remedy_v that_o evil_a by_o afflict_v they_o now_o shall_v we_o thereupon_o judge_v that_o such_o as_o be_v handle_v rough_o be_v the_o wicked_a what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o see_v you_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v proceed_v clean_o backward_o from_o god_n and_o quite_o contrary_a too_o his_o intent_n and_o purpose_n furthermore_o let_v we_o apply_v this_o as_o well_o to_o our_o neighbour_n as_o to_o ourselves_o if_o we_o see_v man_n that_o be_v afflict_v with_o many_o misery_n let_v we_o first_o look_v unto_o their_o life_n and_o not_o be_v hasty_a too_o give_v sentence_n upon_o they_o but_o consider_v how_o they_o have_v live_v if_o a_o despiser_n of_o god_n a_o unruly_a person_n a_o man_n give_v to_o outrageous_a vice_n be_v grievous_o punish_v let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o therein_o god_n show_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o picture_n what_o his_o vengeance_n be_v and_o there_o we_o have_v a_o just_a occasion_n to_o judge_v why_o so_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o speak_v when_o a_o man_n have_v despise_v god_n and_o spend_v his_o whole_a life_n disorderly_a and_o we_o see_v that_o god_n scourge_v he_o in_o that_o behalf_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_v the_o matter_n itself_o be_v not_o dark_a nor_o difficulty_n so_o then_o our_o judgement_n shall_v not_o be_v overhasty_a if_o we_o proceed_v after_o that_o sort_n but_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o have_v seek_v for_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n afflict_v man_n and_o see_v none_o as_o if_o some_o man_n have_v walk_v upright_o in_o that_o case_n we_o must_v bridle_v ourselves_o and_o why_o for_o we_o know_v not_o god_n purpose_n until_o he_o show_v it_o unto_o we_o lo_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o judge_v in_o respect_n of_o other_o and_o herewithal_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a punish_v as_o they_o have_v deserve_v let_v we_o not_o only_o condemn_v they_o but_o also_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o own_o use_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n show_v it_o which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o take_v warning_n by_o other_o man_n harm_n behold_v god_n punish_v whoremonger_n thief_n and_o rebel_n and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v learn_v too_o walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n and_o not_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n as_o those_o do_v who_o we_o see_v so_o rough_o handle_v this_o then_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o do_v when_o god_n make_v we_o to_o behold_v his_o vengeance_n in_o such_o as_o have_v be_v utter_o rebellious_a against_o he_o but_o if_o we_o see_v the_o good_a man_n visit_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o think_v alas_o if_o the_o green_a tree_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o dry_a when_o we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o such_o as_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n half_o out_o of_o this_o world_n already_o we_o shall_v see_v very_o great_a virtue_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v handle_v much_o more_o grievous_o than_o we_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o god_n bear_v with_o we_o for_o if_o he_o pyty_v we_o not_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o and_o when_o we_o be_v waken_v by_o that_o mean_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v take_v the_o more_o liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a but_o to_o restrain_v we_o and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o tie_v we_o up_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v submit_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o our_o god_n when_o we_o have_v so_o consider_v the_o scourge_n and_o affliction_n that_o god_n send_v upon_o our_o

witness_n than_o our_o own_o conscience_n which_o also_o be_v a_o sufficient_a judge_n too_o condemn_v we_o but_o if_o afterward_o god_n be_v at_o any_o time_n rough_a to_o we_o and_o we_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o yet_o let_v not_o our_o heart_n fail_v we_o neither_o let_v we_o vex_v ourselves_o in_o dispute_v with_o god_n though_o he_o do_v not_o as_o we_o will_v have_v he_o but_o rather_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o comfort_n ourselves_o and_o although_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v our_o mortal_a enemy_n and_o to_o thunder_v against_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v we_o trust_v in_o he_o as_o we_o have_v see_v job_n speak_v heretofore_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v discrete_a in_o judge_v of_o the_o chastisement_n that_o god_n send_v we_o and_o also_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o mild_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o sentence_n of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o folly_n for_o man_n to_o gaze_v so_o much_o at_o the_o present_a affliction_n as_o too_o say_v that_o because_o god_n hand_n be_v rough_a hard_a and_o sharp_a upon_o a_o creature_n therefore_o he_o utter_o

hereupon_o eliu_n upbraid_v job_n friend_n that_o they_o be_v confound_v i_o wait_v say_v he_o and_o they_o speak_v no_o more_o but_o give_v over_o their_o talk_n hereby_o he_o betoken_v that_o they_o be_v confound_v because_o they_o be_v evil_o ground_v for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o truth_n be_v always_o invincible_a true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o which_o have_v a_o good_a case_n shall_v not_o always_o be_v hear_v for_o we_o see_v that_o a_o good_a case_n may_v be_v oppress_v by_o brainless_a and_o frantic_a folk_n when_o they_o have_v their_o full_a scope_n for_o they_o stop_v the_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o we_o know_v thorough_o that_o a_o thing_n be_v true_a god_n will_v also_o give_v we_o argument_n and_o reason_n too_o maintain_v it_o to_o

with_o such_o courage_n as_o be_v requisite_a and_o why_o for_o such_o as_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v well_o and_o have_v some_o affection_n be_v notwithstanding_o faint_a of_o belief_n but_o sure_o if_o they_o trust_v in_o god_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v confound_v as_o they_o be_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v when_o eliu_n taunt_v job_n friend_n for_o be_v confound_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o thereby_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o have_v a_o evil_a case_n and_o that_o they_o have_v make_v a_o wrong_a

otherwise_o it_o have_v be_v a_o pervert_v of_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n therefore_o it_o behove_v this_o modesty_n to_o go_v before_o and_o that_o eliu_n shall_v suffer_v his_o elder_n to_o

time_n serve_v and_o then_o speak_v and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v very_o well_o for_o we_o know_v that_o in_o god_n church_n all_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v handle_v

of_o eliu_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v yea_o but_o that_o be_v when_o he_o see_v that_o thing_n be_v misorder_a and_o that_o job_n friend_n have_v disguise_v the_o truth_n and_o

put_v forth_o his_o opinion_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o case_n which_o have_v be_v evil_o debate_v may_v now_o be_v order_v by_o reason_n and_o because_o eliu_n speak_v here_o with_o great_a

see_v that_o god_n condemn_v he_o not_o what_o mortal_a man_n shall_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o authority_n to_o judge_v above_o god_n therefore_o that_o be_v great_a folly_n moreover_o this_o must_v not_o be_v think_v so_o strange_a a_o thing_n for_o we_o must_v not_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o eliu_n be_v not_o as_o one_o of_o the_o prophet_n that_o

thou_o shall_v not_o run_v after_o witchcraft_n and_o other_o vain_a science_n neither_o shall_v thou_o ask_v counsel_n at_o the_o dead_a for_o thy_o god_n shall_v always_o raise_v thou_o up_o a_o

they_o have_v no_o prophet_n nor_o any_o certain_a doctrine_n to_o lead_v and_o guide_v they_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o you_o say_v god_n to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v always_o

that_o send_v i_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o always_o too_o search_v to_o what_o end_n the_o man_n tend_v that_o speak_v unto_o we_o for_o if_o we_o see_v that_o the_o mark_n which_o he_o shoot_v

only_o let_v we_o open_v our_o eye_n and_o therewithal_o pray_v god_n to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o wander_v and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o

then_o do_v we_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discern_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o can_v be_v deceive_v by_o all_o satan_n temptation_n and_o although_o he_o send_v we_o deceiver_n &_o

as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o furthermore_o although_o god_n do_v sometime_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wicked_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n

that_o he_o be_v a_o transitory_a and_o frail_a man_n so_o that_o he_o can_v make_v job_n afraid_a nevertheless_o will_v he_o not_o win_v any_o thing_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o by_o reason_n and_o

but_o that_o they_o have_v their_o life_n &_o all_o the_o appurtenance_n thereof_o because_o it_o please_v god_n to_o preserve_v they_o then_o if_o man_n can_v first_o consider_v from_o whence_o

must_v out_o of_o hand_n pass_v with_o it_o without_o gainsay_v although_o we_o be_v not_o force_v nor_o constrain_v unto_o it_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n concern_v the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n and_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o when_o a_o good_a doctrine_n be_v propound_v unto_o we_o very_o well_o he_o be_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n that_o speak_v it_o but_o do_v we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v reason_n and_o truth_n then_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o in_o reply_v against_o he_o we_o fight_v not_o only_o against_o god_n but_o also_o against_o our_o own_o conscience_n which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a judge_n to_o condemn_v we_o and_o herewithal_o we_o have_v a_o very_a profitable_a warning_n to_o gather_v which_o be_v that_o whensoever_o we_o come_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n if_o we_o see_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v offer_v we_o be_v right_a there_o must_v be_v no_o more_o reply_n for_o we_o shall_v win_v nothing_o by_o it_o but_o if_o there_o be_v reason_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o it_o furthermore_o this_o ought_v not_o too_o hinder_v we_o from_o set_v god_n majesty_n before_o our_o eye_n for_o we_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o according_a to_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o fancy_n therefore_o two_o thing_n have_v need_v to_o be_v match_v here_o together_o the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o full_o determine_v to_o be_v ready_a to_o obey_v god_n conclude_v in_o ourselves_o that_o our_o maker_n ought_v to_o have_v all_o sovereignty_n over_o we_o and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o this_o be_v the_o preparative_n that_o must_v be_v make_v aforehand_o and_o afterward_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o judgement_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v examine_v the_o doctrine_n howbeit_o not_o with_o pride_n nor_o with_o a_o opinion_n that_o we_o be_v wise_a enough_o of_o ourselves_o but_o with_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o govern_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v show_v we_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o two_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v match_v together_o and_o this_o match_v or_o mingle_v bring_v no_o confusion_n for_o he_o that_o be_v prepare_v to_o obey_v god_n will_v not_o leave_v for_o all_o that_o to_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o to_o consider_v how_o he_o ought_v to_o discern_v untruth_n from_o truth_n howbeit_o herewithal_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v so_o froward_a as_o to_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o the_o man_n that_o speak_v but_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n show_v we_o great_a favour_n in_o that_o it_o please_v he_o to_o use_v his_o creature_n and_o too_o abase_v himself_o after_o that_o sort_n unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v have_v the_o more_o leisure_n to_o consider_v his_o word_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v come_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o own_o majesty_n we_o shall_v be_v undo_v but_o when_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o we_o by_o man_n he_o apply_v himself_o to_o our_o infirmity_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v the_o more_o commodious_o know_v his_o truth_n which_o he_o set_v before_o we_o you_o see_v then_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o the_o rest_n shall_v be_v reserve_v till_o another_o time_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o too_o make_v we_o so_o

and_o why_o for_o he_o be_v so_o gracious_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o allure_v we_o gentle_o by_o his_o word_n and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o this_o gentleness_n avail_v not_o he_o use_v a_o great_a

so_o man_n can_v glorify_v god_n and_o take_v all_o shame_n to_o themselves_o they_o will_v always_o challenge_v somewhat_o too_o themselves_o &_o although_o they_o ought_v to_o know_v their_o own_o

to_o reserve_v somewhat_o to_o themselves_o &_o can_v yield_v up_o all_o unto_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o can_v full_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a justification_n which_o show_v we_o that_o god_n receive_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n and_o that_o his_o accept_n of_o we_o be_v not_o for_o any_o respect_n of_o our_o own_o work_n which_o be_v altogether_o

notwithstanding_o that_o by_o nature_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o wretchedness_n and_o cursedness_n for_o this_o cause_n eliu_n have_v show_v how_o much_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n for_o all_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v in_o so_o much_o as_o the_o honour_n ought_v to_o be_v yield_v unto_o he_o as_o to_o the_o beginner_n and_o performer_n of_o all_o â–ª_o he_o add_v that_o all_o

now_o when_o eliu_n say_v that_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o have_v job_n quit_v thereby_o he_o show_v that_o he_o go_v not_o to_o it_o of_o a_o fierce_a and_o contentious_a mind_n as_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v when_o they_o will_v maintain_v a_o contrary_a part_n nor_o of_o purpose_n to_o grieve_v the_o man_n no_o but_o he_o will_v feign_v that_o job_n can_v have_v maintain_v his_o righteousness_n &_o sith_o he_o have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o do_v it_o he_o will_v have_v he_o to_o humble_v himself_o before_o god_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o eliu_n speak_v here_o as_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o hereby_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n that_o whensoever_o god_n thunder_v against_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n he_o covet_v not_o our_o destruction_n by_o bereave_v we_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v unto_o we_o as_o though_o he_o envy_v we_o
strong_a god_n truth_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a too_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v fence_v and_o have_v many_o partaker_n yet_o must_v god_n always_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n so_o as_o his_o righteousness_n shall_v continue_v unappayr_v when_o we_o have_v bark_v our_o fill_n against_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bite_v it_o as_o shall_v be_v say_v anon_o mark_v i_o say_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o strain_n and_o therefore_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o be_v lavish_a of_o our_o tong_n when_o god_n afflict_v we_o and_o when_o thing_n go_v not_o after_o our_o mind_n let_v we_o not_o be_v impatient_a therefore_o in_o our_o affliction_n but_o let_v we_o always_o humble_a ourselves_o under_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v righteous_a howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v for_o if_o we_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o barret_n with_o he_o it_o will_v be_v to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o shame_n you_o see_v then_o how_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o bridle_v &_o as_o it_o be_v to_o imprison_v themselves_o too_o the_o end_n they_o may_v never_o murmur_v against_o god_n nor_o blaspheme_v he_o furthermore_o though_o we_o have_v many_o partaker_n yet_o shall_v it_o not_o boot_n we_o for_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o too_o be_v overcome_v by_o never_o so_o great_a multitude_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o to_o assemble_v man_n of_o our_o own_o retinue_n for_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o be_v put_v too_o the_o foil_n together_o if_o all_o the_o world_n have_v make_v a_o confederacy_n to_o spite_n god_n he_o will_v not_o pass_v of_o it_o he_o will_v but_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o second_o psalm_n that_o when_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v consult_v together_o and_o the_o people_n have_v storm_v as_o much_o as_o they_o list_v he_o that_o be_v above_o will_v laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v our_o case_n to_o be_v the_o better_a when_o we_o have_v many_o adherent_n and_o partaker_n for_o god_n will_v condemn_v all_o the_o whole_a pack_n of_o we_o and_o furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o on_o the_o other_o part_n that_o when_o we_o have_v god_n truth_n on_o our_o side_n we_o must_v not_o stick_v to_o maintain_v it_o and_o why_o for_o he_o will_v give_v we_o mouth_n and_o wisdom_n and_o also_o power_n to_o beat_v back_o all_o our_o enemy_n and_o we_o have_v great_a need_n in_o these_o day_n to_o be_v arm_v with_o such_o assurance_n for_o we_o see_v with_o what_o furiousness_n the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n set_v up_o themselves_o because_o we_o be_v but_o a_o handful_n of_o people_n and_o they_o a_o great_a multitude_n and_o that_o in_o a_o manner_n the_o whole_a world_n agree_v with_o they_o to_o pratice_v our_o death_n they_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o goal_n go_v on_o their_o side_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o triumph_v amongst_o they_o before_o any_o stroke_n be_v strike_v what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o then_o if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v the_o truth_n on_o our_o side_n one_o of_o we_o may_v always_o fight_v against_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o and_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a when_o the_o papist_n come_v stout_o against_o we_o with_o their_o ergo_n although_o they_o be_v a_o great_a host_n and_o we_o few_o or_o none_o in_o comparison_n no_o no_o let_v not_o that_o abash_v we_o and_o why_o for_o this_o say_n i_o will_v answer_v thou_o and_o thy_o companion_n be_v not_o write_v alone_o for_o the_o person_n of_o eliu_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o that_o promise_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o stick_v to_o enter_v into_o battle_n and_o to_o stand_v stout_o to_o it_o to_o the_o uttermost_a sith_o we_o know_v our_o case_n be_v good_a and_o that_o god_n fight_v for_o we_o because_o we_o maintain_v his_o quarrel_n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v such_o a_o certainty_n let_v we_o fight_v bold_o against_o our_o enemy_n for_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v in_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o how_o we_o may_v put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o instruction_n special_o at_o this_o present_a time_n when_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a world_n imbattayled_a against_o god_n and_o the_o multitude_n of_o enemy_n so_o great_a as_o it_o may_v utter_o discourage_v we_o if_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o comfort_v we_o by_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o answer_v for_o he_o though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o many_o gaynsayer_n that_o be_v so_o confederate_a together_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o answer_n that_o eliu_n make_v behold_v the_o sky_n say_v he_o look_v up_o too_o the_o great_a heaven_n they_o be_v high_a than_o thou_o and_o thou_o can_v never_o reach_v too_o they_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o very_a raw_a answer_n for_o have_v he_o none_o other_o reason_n whereby_o too_o show_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n yes_o but_o if_o this_o say_n be_v apply_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o such_o as_o blaspheme_v god_n for_o by_o behold_v of_o the_o heaven_n he_o lead_v we_o to_o another_o consideration_n which_o be_v that_o our_o do_v well_o profit_v not_o our_o god_n and_o that_o our_o do_v evil_a can_v hurt_v he_o for_o what_o shall_v he_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o it_o see_v it_o be_v so_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v according_a unto_o man_n for_o he_o be_v not_o revengeful_a as_o who_o will_v say_v he_o be_v angry_a when_o a_o man_n do_v he_o wrong_n or_o that_o he_o be_v lead_v by_o affection_n like_o a_o man_n that_o look_v to_o be_v please_v and_o think_v himself_o behold_v to_o another_o man_n for_o do_v he_o any_o service_n god_n be_v none_o such_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o measure_v he_o by_o our_o own_o meateyearde_n nor_o imagine_v any_o fleshliness_n in_o he_o for_o the_o very_a sky_n that_o be_v under_o his_o foot_n do_v show_v well_o that_o he_o be_v not_o like_o we_o nor_o meddle_v here_o with_o we_o to_o have_v any_o part_n at_o all_o of_o our_o nature_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o this_o reason_n where_o it_o be_v say_v behold_v the_o sky_n and_o look_v up_o above_o thy_o head_n be_v sufficient_a too_o beat_v down_o all_o those_o that_o dare_v lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n but_o now_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o lay_v out_o that_o which_o follow_v by_o peecemele_n too_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v the_o better_a understand_v when_o eliu_n say_v if_o thou_o do_v good_a what_o profit_n do_v god_n receive_v by_o it_o he_o show_v thereby_o that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v unto_o we_o mark_v that_o for_o the_o first_o point_n the_o second_o be_v that_o he_o be_v not_o affection_a as_o man_n be_v when_o any_o pleasure_n be_v do_v they_o they_o be_v move_v with_o it_o because_o they_o be_v passable_a but_o god_n be_v not_o so_o we_o can_v neither_o show_v he_o friendship_n nor_o favour_n and_o so_o he_o be_v not_o like_a unto_o we_o and_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n bind_v unto_o we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v it_o be_v a_o very_a true_a thing_n notwithstanding_o we_o see_v how_o man_n grow_v proud_a yea_o even_o without_o cause_n or_o occasion_n &_o will_v make_v god_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v behold_v to_o they_o although_o they_o can_v bring_v he_o nothing_o and_o this_o draw_v after_o it_o a_o mischeevouse_n tail_n of_o superstition_n why_o do_v the_o papist_n labour_v so_o much_o at_o this_o day_n for_o these_o ceremony_n and_o gewgaw_n it_o be_v because_o they_o think_v that_o god_n receive_v some_o profit_n by_o they_o when_o they_o make_v many_o gewgaw_n and_o have_v babble_a and_o trot_v from_o place_n to_o place_n they_o think_v they_o have_v make_v a_o fair_a work_n when_o their_o churchstuffe_n be_v well_o deck_v and_o when_o they_o have_v well_o trim_v and_o wash_v their_o puppet_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v make_v a_o goodly_a banquet_n and_o deck_v up_o a_o house_n &_o bestraw_v it_o with_o rush_n and_o other_o thing_n the_o papist_n i_o say_v surmise_v that_o god_n delight_v in_o these_o nice_a toy_n and_o that_o he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o but_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o we_o can_v bring_v any_o thing_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o
show_v and_o utter_v himself_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v worse_o than_o brutish_a and_o blockish_a if_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o he_o too_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o all_o that_o be_v speak_v too_o we_o in_o his_o name_n and_o authority_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o malicious_a the_o

which_o sharpen_v themselves_o against_o he_o too_o reject_v all_o that_o concern_v his_o doctrine_n and_o pure_a word_n for_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o shamefastness_n in_o the_o papist_n when_o

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_o

adays_o our_o life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o and_o have_v show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o stranger_n in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o

whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a

dispose_v ourselves_o to_o die_v when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v go_v hence_o with_o a_o glad_a heart_n &_o not_o with_o gnash_v of_o our_o tooth_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n yet_o will_v they_o fain_o tarry_v here_o beneath_o still_o for_o they_o have_v none_o other_o hope_v but_o of_o this_o present_a life_n &_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o death_n dispatch_v all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o be_v never_o ready_a to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n contrariwise_o the_o father_n of_o

to_o take_v knowledge_n of_o god_n fatherly_a love_n thereby_o for_o if_o you_o live_v but_o three_o day_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o god_n goodness_n &_o

then_o that_o we_o must_v always_o be_v satisfy_v with_o life_n see_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o so_o good_a a_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v
