sinner_n that_o be_v connert_v then_o of_o a_o iustonan_n that_o stand_v because_o the_o captain_n also_o in_o the_o battle_n do_v more_o love_n that_o soldier_n who_o return_v oft_o flight_n do_v valiant_o set_v upon_o the_o enemy_n then_o he_o in●●o_o although_o he_o never_o run_v away_o yet_o never_o do_v show_v any_o valour_n or_o manhood_n 12._o so_o the_o husbandman_n do_v love_n more_o that_o ground_n which_o after_o thorn_n do_v yield_v plentiful_a corn_n then_o that_o which_o never_o have_v thorn_n but_o yet_o never_o bring_v forth_o plenty_n of_o grain_n but_o now_o in_o this_o matter_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o there_o be_v many_o virtuous_a person_n of_o who_o life_n there_o be_v so_o great_a joy_n that_o whatsoever_o penance_n of_o sinner_n can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v prefer_v before_o they_o for_o many_o there_o be_v who_o neither_o be_v guilty_a to_o themselves_o of_o any_o evil_n and_o yet_o do_v penance_n with_o so_o great_a zeal_n and_o fervor_n as_o if_o they_o be_v press_v thereunto_o with_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n they_o do_v also_o resraine_v themselves_o from_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a they_o do_v with_o a_o cou●_n ragious_a mind_n embrace_v the_o contempt_n of_o the_o world_n and_o will_v not_o that_o all_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o which_o they_o listen_v after_o they_o cut_v off_o those_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v even_o grant_v they_o they_o despise_v these_o visible_a thing_n they_o be_v inflame_v with_o thing_n invisible_a and_o do_v rejoice_v in_o lament_v in_o all_o thing_n they_o do_v humble_a themselves_o and_o as_o other_o do_v bewail_v their_o sinful_a work_n so_o these_o do_v bewail_v their_o sinful_a thought_n what_o then_o shall_v i_o call_v these_o person_n but_o both_o just_a and_o penitent_a who_o do_v both_o humble_v themselves_o in_o do_v penance_n for_o the_o least_o offence_n of_o their_o thought_n and_o yet_o also_o do_v persevere_v righteous_a in_o their_o work_n of_o this_o than_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v how_o great_a joy_n aiust_a man_n do_v give_v god_n when_o be_v humble_o do_v penance_n if_o a_o unjust_a man_n do_v cause_n joy_n in_o heaven_n when_o by_o penance_n he_o do_v condemn_v the_o evil_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v 13._o all_o this_o be_v out_o of_o s._n gregory_n in_o which_o with_o great_a light_n from_o heaven_n he_o do_v discover_v unto_o we_o how_o much_o god_n do_v esteem_v that_o service_n of_o he_o who_o do_v desire_n to_o please_v he_o with_o diligence_n in_o go_v forward_o &_o how_o much_o he_o be_v content_v with_o the_o alacrity_n and_o fervour_n that_o he_o have_v to_o profit_v in_o virtue_n and_o although_o he_o be_v but_o a_o novice_n &_o young_a beginner_n in_o his_o service_n and_o new_o convert_v of_o a_o great_a sinner_n yet_o do_v he_o prefer_v he_o before_o many_o that_o be_v just_a but_o slow_a in_o his_o service_n and_o altogether_o careless_a to_o benefit_v themselves_o and_o where_o he_o say_v that_o no_o penance_n of_o any_o sinner_n convert_v be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o life_n of_o just_a man_n who_o be_v fervent_a and_o very_a diligent_a it_o be_v true_a speak_v of_o that_o which_o fall_v out_o according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o thing_n 14._o how_o great_a a_o motive_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o verity_n to_o make_v we_o have_v a_o hearty_a desire_n to_o go_v forward_o in_o god_n service_n and_o to_o use_v much_o diligence_n in_o the_o same_o who_o be_v he_o if_o he_o have_v any_o least_o sparkle_n of_o love_n that_o desire_v not_o to_o give_v god_n this_o so_o great_a contentment_n &_o pleasure_n as_o he_o receave_v when_o he_o see_v we_o diligent_a and_o forward_o in_o his_o service_n especial_o it_o be_v true_a which_o s._n bernard_n say_v that_o the_o meat_n of_o which_o this_o lord_n be_v accustom_v to_o take_v exceed_v pleasure_n who_o see_v among_o the_o lily_n which_o do_v signify_v the_o pureness_n and_o sweet_a smell_n of_o virtue_n be_v the_o profit_n and_o forwardness_n of_o our_o soul_n now_o if_o by_o profit_v in_o virtue_n we_o be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o do_v he_o so_o great_a pleasure_n what_o great_a good_a than_o this_o may_v we_o desire_v or_o what_o great_a glory_n contentment_n and_o profit_n can_v we_o pretend_v 15._o so_o great_a good_a be_v this_o that_o not_o without_o much_o reason_n s._n chrysostome_n say_v if_o thou_o be_v worthy_a by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v please_v he_o seek_v not_o any_o other_o reward_n beside_o this_o that_o thou_o have_v deserve_v to_o please_v he_o for_o if_o thou_o seek_v a_o reward_n true_o thou_o be_v ignorant_a how_o great_a good_a it_o be_v to_o please_v god_n because_o if_o thou_o do_v know_v it_o thou_o will_v not_o seek_v any_o other_o payment_n or_o recompense_v beside_o the_o same_o these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o s._n chrysostome_n in_o which_o that_o holy_a mandoth_a not_o forbid_v we_o to_o seek_v and_o pretend_v after_o the_o reward_n of_o our_o glory_n for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o lawful_a thing_n although_o our_o chief_a end_n must_v be_v to_o please_v god_n but_o with_o manifest_a truth_n he_o do_v affirm_v that_o to_o please_v god_n be_v so_o great_a a_o good_a that_o albeit_o no_o other_o profit_n nor_o glory_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v by_o we_o yet_o this_o alone_a aught_o to_o suffice_v maund_v of_o abraham_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o do_v request_n of_o all_o his_o faithful_a and_o servant_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n &_o exhort_v they_o thereunto_o say_v be_v you_o persect_v as_o also_o your_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o say_v do_v what_o lie_v in_o you_o to_o move_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o charity_n and_o of_o all_o other_o virtue_n that_o be_v join_v with_o charity_n that_o as_o child_n you_o may_v imitate_v your_o heavenly_a father_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o the_o creature_n may_v imitate_v the_o creator_n 3._o this_o vehement_a desire_n that_o god_n have_v of_o our_o profit_n in_o virtue_n he_o discover_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o hart_n of_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n who_o as_o a_o heavenly_a instrument_n of_o christ_n that_o speak_v in_o he_o do_v write_v in_o this_o sort_n to_o the_o colossian_n we_o also_o from_o the_o day_n that_o we_o hear_v it_o to_o wit_n that_o you_o know_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n cease_v not_o pray_v for_o you_o and_o desire_v that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n in_o all_o wisdom_n and_o spiritual_a understanding_n that_o you_o may_v walk_v worthy_a of_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n please_v sructify_a in_o all_o good_a work_n and_o increase_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n 4._o this_o self_n same_o desire_n do_v god_n make_v know_v unto_o we_o in_o that_o voice_n from_o heaven_n which_o s._n john_n hear_v who_o say_v he_o that_o be_v just_a let_v he_o be_v justify_v yet_o and_o let_v the_o holy_a be_v sanctify_v yet_o this_o be_v a_o most_o manifest_a testimony_n how_o much_o god_n do_v esteem_v and_o have_v for_o acceptable_a that_o his_o servant_n rest_v not_o as_o lukewarm_a in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n but_o that_o they_o go_v still_o forward_o and_o profit_n in_o all_o virtue_n for_o so_o much_o as_o that_o infinite_a and_o sovereign_a majesty_n have_v so_o earnest_o and_o particular_o discover_v unto_o we_o this_o his_o desire_n 5._o likewise_o it_o be_v a_o great_a proof_n of_o this_o verity_n to_o see_v the_o great_a account_n that_o god_n make_v of_o those_o his_o servant_n that_o go_v forward_o in_o his_o service_n and_o the_o great_a respect_n that_o he_o do_v bear_v to_o they_o and_o the_o particular_a care_n that_o he_o take_v of_o they_o so_o that_o in_o comparison_n of_o they_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o little_o esteem_v and_o make_v small_a account_n of_o those_o that_o serve_v he_o but_o negligent_o for_o although_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v a_o peculiar_a and_o sweet_a providence_n and_o such_o a_o fatherly_a and_o pitiful_a care_n of_o each_o one_o that_o do_v serve_v he_o and_o live_v in_o his_o grace_n as_o if_o in_o this_o wide_a world_n he_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v not_o who_o to_o provide_v for_o nor_o save_v but_o he_o only_o yet_o much_o more_o be_v the_o fatherly_a and_o friendly_a providence_n and_o care_n which_o he_o have_v of_o those_o that_o be_v more_o diligent_a and_o forward_o in_o his_o service_n to_o provide_v for_o they_o to_o honour_v they_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n to_o protect_v and_o defend_v they_o and_o to_o fulfil_v their_o heart_n desire_n and_o the_o request_n that_o they_o do_v make_v he_o that_o it_o may_v well_o be_v think_v that_o these_o be_v his_o
