A14189	Peters fall Two sermons vpon the historie of Peters denying Christ. Wherin we may see the causes of mans falling from God, and the manner how, both of the wicked thorough incredulitie, and of the godly by infirmitie: and also the way that God hath set downe in his worde to rise againe. By Iohn Vdall, preacher of the word of God at Kingston vpon Temmes.	Udall, John, 1560?-1592.	1584 (1584)	STC 24503; ESTC S101285	38,462	103

as_o there_o be_v nothing_o set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o in_o his_o singular_a wisdom_n propound_v unto_o his_o child_n either_o to_o teach_v they_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n 16._o and_o the_o religion_n that_o they_o must_v profess_v or_o to_o furnish_v they_o with_o sufficient_a armour_n to_o convince_v their_o adversary_n or_o to_o instruct_v they_o how_o to_o frame_v their_o life_n and_o conversation_n according_a to_o his_o will_n or_o to_o reprove_v they_o that_o walk_v inordinate_o or_o last_o to_o comfort_v they_o be_v distress_a and_o afflict_v in_o this_o world_n 4._o so_o there_o be_v no_o example_n set_v before_o our_o eye_n in_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n more_o necessary_a for_o we_o continual_o to_o be_v meditate_a upon_o than_o this_o of_o peter_n fall_n for_o in_o the_o same_o be_v first_o paint_v out_o unto_o we_o the_o miserable_a estate_n of_o man_n be_v leave_v unto_o himself_o then_o the_o exceed_a mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n second_o we_o may_v see_v in_o it_o the_o beginning_n proceed_n and_o manner_n how_o all_o man_n do_v sin_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o godly_a fall_n by_o infirmity_n or_o the_o wicked_a transgress_v through_o infidelity_n and_o then_o how_o and_o by_o what_o degree_n the_o godly_a be_v reclaim_v and_o restore_v again_o so_o that_o in_o this_o history_n we_o have_v two_o thing_n offer_v to_o our_o consideration_n first_o peter_n fall_n second_o his_o rise_n again_o in_o his_o fall_n we_o note_v the_o cause_n that_o move_v he_o thereunto_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n be_v either_o in_o himself_o or_o accidentarie_a without_o himself_o within_o himself_o his_o presumption_n in_o depart_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o lean_v upon_o his_o own_o power_n and_o his_o slow_a follow_v the_o cause_n without_o himself_o be_v his_o company_n the_o high_a priest_n servant_n and_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v y_z e_z warm_a fire_n the_o manner_n how_o he_o do_v fall_v be_v first_o in_o bare_a denial_n then_o with_o bind_v it_o with_o a_o oath_n and_o last_o by_o curse_v himself_o if_o ever_o he_o know_v christ._n in_o his_o rise_n again_o be_v likewise_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o the_o cause_n without_o himself_o and_o within_o himself_o without_o himself_o the_o crow_n of_o the_o cock_n &_o the_o look_a back_n of_o jesus_n within_o himself_o his_o remembrance_n what_o christ_n have_v say_v and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v the_o manner_n how_o he_o rise_v his_o go_v out_o and_o his_o sorrow_n the_o first_o cause_n of_o his_o fall_n as_o you_o see_v be_v his_o presumption_n and_o that_o be_v also_o in_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v in_o not_o lean_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o master_n for_o christ_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v deny_v he_o but_o he_o notwithstanding_o be_v either_o blind_v with_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o own_o power_n as_o hereafter_o shall_v appear_v or_o else_o carry_v away_o with_o a_o preposterous_a zeal_n to_o follow_v he_o whether_o soever_o he_o go_v reply_v that_o though_o all_o man_n shall_v forsake_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o and_o sure_o this_o be_v most_o worthy_a the_o consideration_n for_o if_o we_o begin_v at_o the_o first_o man_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o continue_v through_o out_o the_o whole_a scripture_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o little_a regard_n give_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o their_o fall_n the_o father_n of_o mankind_n the_o first_o founder_n of_o his_o mystery_n adam_n have_v receive_v this_o especial_a commandment_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a 17._o thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v yet_o this_o be_v put_v out_o of_o his_o heart_n partly_o through_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n wherewithal_o he_o be_v assail_v partly_o by_o the_o provocation_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o great_o he_o love_v and_o partly_o with_o the_o beauty_n and_o delicacy_n of_o the_o apple_n with_o which_o he_o be_v allure_v he_o notwithstanding_o do_v take_v of_o it_o and_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n forbid_v fall_v from_o the_o lord_n his_o

nature_n kill_v his_o brother_n abel_n 2.24_o lamech_n not_o consider_v that_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v make_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o be_v one_o flesh_n 4.19_o take_v unto_o he_o two_o wife_n and_o so_o fall_v from_o the_o lord_n saul_n have_v receyve_v a_o precept_n to_o destroy_v amalecke_n and_o all_o that_o pertain_v unto_o they_o 3._o that_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o compassion_n on_o they_o

but_o yield_v unto_o his_o own_o fantasy_n in_o spare_v the_o king_n agag_n and_o the_o better_a sheep_n and_o fat_a ox_n to_o sacrifice_n as_o be_v pretend_v unto_o the_o lord_n be_v reward_v with_o

murmur_v often_o time_n the_o same_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o rebellious_a jew_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o brief_o through_o out_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n that_o when_o

wicked_a offend_v of_o obstinacy_n the_o first_o original_a and_o beginning_n be_v this_o that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o respect_n be_v either_o not_o know_v or_o not_o remember_v and_o therefore_o satan_n strike_v very_o deep_a and_o in_o very_a deed_n at_o the_o sure_a root_n of_o man_n safeguard_n when_o he_o put_v it_o into_o the_o head_n of_o his_o son_n and_o heir_n
