what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o make_v we_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o his_o word_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v a_o

if_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o there_o be_v many_o encounter_n and_o disputation_n it_o be_v true_a but_o be_v that_o as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o our_o faith_n must_v therefore_o be_v shake_v for_o wherein_o shall_v the_o steadfastness_n of_o this_o ryghtnesse_n show_v itself_o that_o be_v too_o say_v how_o shall_v a_o man_n know_v that_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o strong_a or_o where_o shall_v the_o power_n thereof_o show_v itself_o but_o in_o we_o like_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n word_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v always_o but_o in_o heaven_n only_o but_o that_o it_o be_v also_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a according_a as_o saint_n peter_n show_v we_o that_o although_o we_o be_v toss_v with_o many_o storm_n and_o tempest_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o shall_v our_o faith_n never_o be_v shake_v down_o so_o than_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n truth_n be_v mighty_a enough_o too_o withstand_v all_o

so_o be_v we_o desirous_a too_o profit_n well_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o the_o school_n of_o god_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o too_o take_v and_o too_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o also_o too_o answer_v thereunto_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v protest_v i_o will_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n not_o only_o because_o i_o hope_v too_o bring_v it_o too_o pass_v but_o also_o because_o god_n will_v give_v i_o strength_n too_o withstand_v the_o temptation_n which_o the_o devil_n shall_v prepare_v against_o i_o so_o as_o i_o shall_v never_o fail_v whatsoever_o

themselves_o
show_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o genesis_n namely_o that_o his_o spirit_n shall_v not_o strive_v any_o long_o with_o man_n god_n have_v bear_v with_o as_o outrageous_a wickedness_n as_o can_v be_v and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o man_n abuse_v his_o patience_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o say_v i_o will_v no_o long_o plead_v with_o you_o i_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o put_v to_o my_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o wicked_a may_v well_o file_v their_o tongue_n to_o justify_v themselves_o for_o they_o can_v good_a skill_n to_o chop_v logic_n with_o god_n but_o shall_v that_o further_o their_o case_n no_o no._n they_o rather_o sharpen_v the_o sword_n and_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o execute_v the_o sore_a justice_n and_o the_o terribler_n vengeance_n upon_o their_o head_n so_o then_o man_n may_v be_v arm_v with_o their_o tongue_n to_o plead_v against_o god_n but_o god_n have_v his_o hand_n arm_v and_o will_v stretch_v it_o out_o of_o heaven_n to_o confound_v all_o such_o as_o shall_v so_o plead_v against_o he_o and_o this_o say_n ought_v too_o touch_v the_o wicked_a more_o than_o it_o do_v but_o what_o hereby_o it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o brutish_a blockishness_n in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n nowadays_o there_o be_v no_o bow_v under_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o under_o the_o correction_n that_o

if_o they_o have_v great_a wrong_n do_v unto_o they_o you_o wretched_a man_n you_o shall_v have_v prepare_v yourselves_o too_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o i_o tell_v you_o of_o that_o shameful_a

again_o for_o we_o have_v enough_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n wherein_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o

assign_v we_o while_o he_o offer_v we_o the_o mean_a to_o obtain_v mercy_n of_o he_o by_o his_o gospel_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 too_o make_v we_o so_o to_o feel_v they_o as_o it_o may_v lead_v we_o too_o true_a repentance_n and_o that_o in_o steed_n of_o harden_v of_o

he_o avouch_v that_o god_n punish_v notthe_v wicked_a but_o let_v they_o alone_o so_o as_o they_o prosper_v but_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o judgement_n that_o god_n execute_v in_o the_o world_n according_a to_o the_o record_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n then_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n this_o talk_n of_o job_n seem_v utter_o repugnant_a too_o all_o truth_n but_o we_o must_v remember_v what_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o namely_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n judgement_n it_o say_v not_o that_o he_o accomplish_v they_o peremptory_o for_o sometime_o he_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o show_v himself_o judge_v of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o be_v not_o in_o all_o point_n and_o all_o caces_fw-la nor_o yet_o after_o all_o one_o rate_n therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n that_o the_o wicked_a can_v escape_v his_o hand_n but_o must_v come_v too_o account_v before_o he_o nevertheless_o god_n do_v sometime_o dissemble_v and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n so_o than_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v by_o his_o providence_n govern_v the_o world_n maintain_v and_o preserve_v the_o good_a and_o punish_v the_o wicked_a as_o we_o make_v it_o no_o general_a rule_n that_o all_o such_o
good_a whereas_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o beastly_a liberty_n which_o will_v draw_v we_o to_o evil_a and_o again_o god_n which_o give_v we_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n know_v very_o well_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o and_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o stay_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o none_o of_o we_o shall_v wander_v in_o his_o own_o foolish_a fantasy_n but_o follow_v god_n plain_a will_n which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o righteousness_n and_o equity_n so_o then_o will_v we_o walk_v as_o it_o becommethâ—uâ—_n let_v we_o begin_v at_o this_o end_n that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v

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 be_v as_o the_o galley_n slave_n do_v who_o fall_v to_o row_v when_o they_o see_v themselves_o fast_a chain_v and_o sure_o beat_v then_o they_o must_v needs_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v of_o force_n

say_v unto_o the_o mountain_n cover_v we_o you_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a do_v always_o flee_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v terrible_a unto_o they_o now_o on_o our_o

so_o then_o now_o adays_o also_o when_o we_o see_v the_o truth_n oppress_v so_o as_o some_o man_n mock_v at_o we_o and_o othersome_a go_v about_o to_o bite_v we_o yea_o and_o too_o eat_v we_o up_o

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

fall_v into_o this_o horrible_a vengeance_n of_o god_n let_v we_o prevent_v it_o and_o how_o let_v every_o of_o we_o be_v heedful_a and_o stand_v upon_o his_o guard_n and_o sith_o that_o god_n have_v

like_v as_o also_o the_o word_n truth_n may_v also_o signify_v steadiness_n for_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o stand_v when_o he_o be_v sot_v in_o vanity_n and_o why_o for_o vanity_n be_v his_o change_n the_o reason_n serve_v very_o fit_o to_o confirm_v this_o principle_n that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v have_v no_o settle_v nor_o final_o prosper_v for_o god_n make_v they_o to_o turn_v always_o to_o vanity_n the_o word_n vanity_n be_v take_v here_o in_o two_o sense_n for_o when_o it_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v not_o stand_v because_o he_o be_v sot_v in_o vanity_n it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o he_o can_v stand_v when_o he_o be_v full_a of_o untruth_n and_o blind_v with_o deceyvablenesse_n and_o why_o for_o vanity_n see_v how_o the_o word_n alter_v the_o signification_n be_v his_o change_n that_o be_v to_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o for_o he_o but_o deceyvablenesse_n and_o when_o he_o think_v to_o have_v thing_n at_o his_o

you_o see_v what_o this_o word_n vanity_n import_v in_o the_o second_o place_n and_o the_o word_n change_n fit_v well_o this_o sense_n for_o when_o god_n shall_v have_v lead_v the_o wicked_a sort_n

gape_v for_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o now_o let_v we_o come_v too_o the_o gather_v together_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v here_o into_o one_o sum_n namely_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o stand_v out_o that_o be_v too_o say_v shall_v not_o have_v any_o settle_n or_o continuance_n although_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n be_v exalt_v and_o triumph_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o have_v they_o not_o any_o settledness_n and_o why_o for_o god_n lead_v they_o continual_o through_o backewayes_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o find_v themselves_o beguile_v and_o disappoint_v of_o their_o hope_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n for_o we_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o grudge_v at_o the_o wicked_a and_o will_v fain_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o state_n because_o we_o have_v not_o patience_n too_o tarry_v the_o end_n of_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n for_o if_o our_o mind_n be_v quiet_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v shudder_v at_o the_o end_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n because_o that_o at_o the_o last_o their_o joy_n must_v be_v turn_v into_o weep_v and_o wail_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n god_n curse_v all_o their_o mirth_n and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v unhappy_a but_o what_o we_o reach_v only_o at_o the_o present_a thing_n &_o run_v after_o they_o our_o

say_v that_o the_o wicked_a man_n shall_v have_v no_o settle_v by_o this_o say_n they_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o bridle_v ourselves_o when_o we_o see_v the_o despiser_n of_o god_n have_v their_o full_a

out_o his_o work_n again_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o like_v not_o to_o well_o of_o our_o prosperity_n but_o let_v we_o ground_n ourselves_o upon_o god_n if_o a_o man_n prosper_v let_v he_o not_o dole_n upon_o his_o good_a fortune_n as_o they_o term_v it_o neither_o let_v we_o be_v so_o miscarry_v as_o too_o forget_v god_n but_o let_v we_o seek_v too_o settle_v ourselves_o in_o he_o for_o without_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o steadfastness_n but_o the_o reason_n that_o eliphas_n add_v here_o immediate_o must_v be_v thorough_o weigh_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o

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

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 and_o frame_v their_o inditement_n and_o that_o they_o must_v prevent_v it_o and_o not_o tarry_v till_o god_n condemn_v they_o but_o rather_o yield_v themselves_o guilty_a of_o their_o own_o accord_n 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

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

speak_v once_o and_o that_o the_o prophet_n hear_v these_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v power_n and_o judgement_n in_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v lord_n thou_o need_v not_o too_o repeat_v thy_o word_n for_o when_o thou_o have_v once_o speak_v the_o word_n it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o witness_n and_o

notwithstanding_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o by_o ratify_v his_o promise_n and_o be_v not_o content_v to_o have_v speak_v once_o and_o away_o but_o put_v we_o often_o in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v once_o hear_v and_o will_v have_v we_o teach_v his_o goodness_n all_o our_o life_n long_o see_v then_o that_o he_o use_v such_o overabundantnesse_n it_o behove_v

in_o question_n the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v but_o once_o and_o too_o dispute_v whether_o a_o thing_n be_v true_a or_o no_o when_o god_n have_v witness_v it_o unto_o we_o for_o we_o must_v rather_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o psalm_n that_o god_n say_n be_v as_o silver_n seven_o time_n fine_v in_o the_o furnace_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o dross_n nor_o

find_v some_o subtle_a shift_n to_o turn_v they_o another_o way_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n at_o all_o in_o god_n why_o so_o for_o his_o word_n be_v as_o silver_n thorough_o fine_v wherein_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o seal_n that_o all_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o set_v unto_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o hear_v at_o god_n mouth_n so_o soon_o then_o as_o god_n have_v speak_v any_o thing_n let_v we_o according_a too_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o set_v this_o seal_n unto_o it_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o truth_n and_o certainty_n in_o it_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o untruth_n in_o man_n mind_n and_o yet_o god_n do_v we_o the_o honour_n too_o make_v we_o his_o witness_n according_a as_o saint_n john_n speak_v of_o it_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v too_o his_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v soothfast_a so_o then_o see_v that_o god_n do_v we_o the_o honour_n too_o make_v we_o his_o witness_n although_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n in_o we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v inflame_v too_o receive_v obedient_o all_o thing_n which_o we_o hear_v of_o he_o and_o to_o warrant_v ourselves_o that_o they_o be_v true_a it_o follow_v immediate_o that_o he_o do_v what_o soever_o his_o heart_n desire_v here_o be_v one_o sentence_n more_o which_o be_v very_o true_a if_o it_o be_v right_o understand_v true_a it_o be_v as_o we_o have_v see_v that_o job_n do_v a_o nisse_fw-la in_o imagine_v that_o god_n use_v a_o lawless_a power_n and_o in_o that_o he_o can_v not_o imagine_v otherwise_o but_o that_o god_n be_v mind_v to_o utter_v his_o strength_n with_o such_o violence_n as_o shall_v be_v quite_o void_a of_o all_o reason_n sure_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o declare_v job_n purpose_v no_o such_o blasphemy_n in_o himself_o but_o here_o the_o case_n concern_v his_o former_a pang_n which_o be_v overheadie_o but_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o profit_n redound_v too_o we_o of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o god_n do_v whatsoever_o he_o like_v it_o behove_v we_o first_o and_o foremost_a too_o know_v what_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o god_n desire_v or_o like_v we_o know_v that_o he_o can_v away_o with_o any_o unrighteousness_n and_o therefore_o his_o desire_n or_o like_n must_v needs_o be_v righteous_a and_o full_a of_o equity_n see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o glorify_v he_o in_o all_o respect_n and_o first_o of_o all_o when_o we_o see_v thing_n out_o of_o order_n in_o this_o world_n and_o all_o seem_v too_o go_v otherwise_o than_o it_o ought_v too_o do_v let_v we_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n hold_v the_o reins_n of_o the_o bridle_n and_o that_o nothing_o be_v do_v which_o he_o have_v not_o foredetermine_v in_o his_o purpose_n oftentimes_o we_o may_v think_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v very_o strange_a which_o be_v do_v for_o our_o eye_n be_v too_o weak_a sight_v too_o comprehend_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n be_v righteous_a it_o become_v we_o to_o allow_v of_o all_o his_o do_n although_o they_o fall_v not_o out_o too_o our_o like_n and_o although_o it_o seem_v too_o we_o that_o god_n ought_v too_o work_v otherwise_o yet_o let_v we_o subdue_v our_o own_o reason_n and_o hold_v it_o in_o such_o bondage_n as_o we_o may_v always_o confess_v that_o god_n do_v the_o not_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o wrought_v with_o justice_n and_o uprightness_n also_o let_v we_o here_o with_o all_o mark_n particular_o that_o see_v god_n have_v call_v we_o he_o do_v also_o dispose_v our_o welfare_n and_o faluation_n for_o i_o speak_v not_o now_o of_o all_o man_n in_o general_a but_o of_o the_o comfort_n which_o the_o faithful_a may_v gather_v when_o god_n have_v once_o show_v himself_o to_o they_o and_o call_v they_o purposely_o to_o be_v his_o child_n and_o utter_v his_o heart_n unto_o they_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o the_o faithful_a then_o must_v not_o hang_v in_o doubt_n or_o imagine_v that_o their_o salvation_n be_v in_o a_o mammer_v why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v lay_v up_o as_o a_o gage_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o who_o can_v pluck_v it_o away_o from_o he_o therefore_o let_v the_o faithful_a hardy_o brag_v of_o their_o salvation_n and_o why_o for_o god_n be_v almighty_a according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n the_o father_n who_o have_v give_v you_o unto_o i_o be_v strong_a than_o all_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v christ_n speak_v so_o it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o our_o salvation_n depend_v not_o upon_o ourselves_o nor_o upon_o any_o creature_n nor_o be_v let_v loose_a too_o all_o hazard_n but_o that_o god_n keep_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o bosom_n and_o that_o forsomuch_o as_o no_o man_n can_v overcome_v he_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o we_o shall_v never_o perish_v and_o why_o because_o god_n have_v the_o order_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o love_v our_o welfare_n in_o such_o wise_n as_o he_o will_v sure_o procure_v it_o and_o thereof_o we_o have_v a_o good_a warrant_n by_o the_o gospel_n and_o which_o more_o be_v we_o have_v a_o sure_a pledge_n of_o it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v give_v to_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o be_v in_o he_o shall_v be_v partaker_n both_o of_o his_o life_n and_o of_o all_o his_o good_n so_o than_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v put_v in_o ure_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v we_o see_v it_o be_v not_o only_o true_a and_o holy_a but_o also_o

he_o here_o job_n use_v the_o word_n that_o be_v expound_v yesterday_o i_o say_v that_o the_o word_n signify_v two_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n law_n statute_n ordinance_n decree_n

and_o that_o man_n ought_v too_o hold_v themselves_o quiet_a till_o our_o lord_n stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n because_o he_o know_v the_o fit_a time_n too_o do_v it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o appoint_v it_o now_o than_o job_n allege_v that_o the_o world_n be_v so_o full_a of_o rakehelles_n that_o the_o poor_a go_v naked_a and_o such_o as_o have_v glean_v have_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o

for_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n this_o may_v trouble_v we_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o many_o surmise_n god_n to_o be_v asleep_a when_o he_o work_v not_o after_o their_o like_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o that_o and_o to_o have_v foresee_v it_o long_o afore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o trouble_v and_o offend_v at_o it_o when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v for_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o god_n have_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n howbeit_o the_o time_n seem_v too_o be_v hide_v because_o we_o see_v not_o his_o day_n out_o of_o hand_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o hide_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o show_v not_o himself_o willing_a to_o have_v care_n to_o succour_v such_o as_o be_v afflict_v for_o he_o try_v their_o patience_n for_o a_o time_n after_o job_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o such_o as_o have_v take_v pain_n yea_o and_o have_v get_v wherewith_o to_o relieve_v themselves_o can_v enjoy_v their_o own_o good_n the_o man_n say_v he_o that_o bath_n press_v out_o the_o oil_n within_o his_o wall_n the_o man_n that_o bathe_v tread_v out_o the_o wine_n shall_v not_o cease_v too_o be_v athirst_a true_a it_o be_v that_o oftentimes_o this_o happen_v through_o god_n just_a punishment_n according_a also_o as_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v threaten_v in_o the_o law_n thou_o shall_v plant_v tree_n and_o not_o eat_v of_o their_o fruit_n thou_o shall_v till_o the_o earth_n and_o sow_v corn_n and_o not_o reap_v the_o harvest_n thou_o shall_v dress_v the_o vine_n and_o not_o drink_v of_o the_o wine_n when_o our_o lord_n speak_v after_o this_o

othersome_a be_v spoil_v of_o their_o substance_n we_o can_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o god_n also_o intend_v to_o humble_v we_o that_o we_o may_v honour_v he_o and_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o very_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v so_o dazzle_v as_o we_o can_v discern_v what_o he_o intend_v and_o so_o you_o see_v whereat_o job_n amed_z as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o

redress_v it_o but_o he_o do_v not_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n work_v not_o after_o such_o manner_n as_o be_v know_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o

that_o god_n judgement_n be_v not_o rule_v by_o man_n discretion_n but_o be_v secret_a and_o hide_a from_o we_o for_o that_o cause_n he_o add_v that_o man_n cry_v from_o out_o of_o the_o city_n and_o

howbeit_o this_o translation_n also_o that_o god_n put_v no_o stop_n be_v very_a fit_n notwithstanding_o that_o most_o man_n take_v it_o in_o another_o sense_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v not_o any_o

this_o signification_n be_v most_o common_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o a_o eye_n must_v be_v have_v to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o sentence_n job_n mean_v not_o to_o prove_v here_o that_o all_o god_n do_n be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n and_o uprightness_n howbe_z eit_z that_o he_o do_v very_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v so_o but_o the_o discourse_n that_o he_o make_v tend_v too_o

care_n to_o the_o base_a sort_n in_o the_o world_n now_o we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o this_o text_n but_o the_o principal_a point_n be_v to_o learn_v to_o take_v profit_n by_o

more_o note_v and_o undoubted_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v grant_v too_o be_v in_o degree_n of_o honour_n above_o their_o neighbour_n shall_v endeavour_n themselves_o to_o show_v good_a example_n see_v they_o be_v so_o high_o exalt_v and_o if_o they_o do_v the_o contrary_a their_o offence_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o greevouser_n and_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o upbraid_v they_o say_v how_o now_o i_o have_v advance_v thou_o and_o i_o have_v reach_v thou_o my_o hand_n to_o the_o end_n thou_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o burn_a cresset_n to_o give_v

state_n of_o honour_n understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o great_a liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o be_v able_a to_o stop_v plain_a folk_n mouth_n they_o must_v not_o use_v such_o a_o buckler_n for_o if_o they_o go_v about_o too_o cover_v and_o bury_v their_o fault_n after_o that_o sort_n god_n will_v utter_v the_o great_a vengeance_n against_o they_o in_o lay_v open_a their_o shame_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o therewithal_o let_v the_o mean_a sort_n have_v consideration_n of_o they_o for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o that_o

that_o they_o see_v such_o a_o mirror_n in_o the_o person_n of_o job_n that_o whereas_o he_o be_v able_a too_o bear_v down_o great_a multitude_n yet_o he_o submit_v himself_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o

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

away_o in_o this_o sentence_n true_a it_o be_v that_o modesty_n be_v a_o virtue_n convenient_a for_o all_o man_n but_o yet_o ought_v young_a folk_n to_o mark_v that_o which_o be_v say_v here_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 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

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

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

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

but_o do_v always_o set_v up_o their_o bristle_n against_o he_o now_o see_v that_o they_o do_v so_o forget_v themselves_o as_o they_o can_v stoop_v to_o he_o that_o have_v create_v and_o fashion_v they_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v a_o invincible_a constancy_n &_o to_o make_v our_o reckon_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v enmity_n and_o displeasure_n when_o we_o do_v our_o duty_n but_o yet_o

and_o be_v not_o that_o to_o devilish_a a_o rashness_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o come_v to_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n with_o all_o humility_n and_o mildness_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o

that_o he_o will_v not_o speak_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v not_o think_v and_o conceive_v in_o himself_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o thereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v after_o what_o sort_n he_o ought_v too_o be_v dispose_v which_o bear_v about_o the_o word_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o he_o must_v not_o have_v store_n of_o bibblebabble_n at_o his_o tongue_n end_n nor_o cast_v forth_o word_n at_o all_o adventure_n no_o nor_o yet_o play_v a_o enter_v lude_fw-la but_o according_a as_o god_n have_v teach_v he_o so_o must_v he_o deal_v forth_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v print_v in_o his_o heart_n unto_o those_o over_o who_o god_n have_v give_v he_o charge_n so_o then_o will_v we_o serve_v god_n pure_o in_o our_o office_n it_o behove_v we_o first_o and_o for_o most_o too_o bridle_v our_o tongue_n that_o they_o speak_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v print_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o sure_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v by_o david_n and_o likewise_o allege_v by_o s._n paul_n who_o apply_v it_o to_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n i_o have_v believe_v and_o therefore_o will_v i_o speak_v true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o

short_a it_o behove_v we_o too_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o god_n before_o we_o can_v be_v good_a master_n or_o teacher_n and_o special_o when_o we_o preach_v let_v it_o not_o only_o be_v to_o teach_v

he_o speak_v in_o the_o say_a text_n of_o ezechiel_n god_n then_o will_v show_v that_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v give_v the_o sword_n and_o seat_n of_o justice_n and_o those_o who_o he_o have_v

this_o text_n and_o herewithal_o eliu_n show_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o receive_v doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a and_o right_a we_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

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

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

what_o a_o range_a be_v that_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o job_n tell_v we_o here_o for_o a_o general_a principle_n that_o when_o god_n work_n and_o the_o scan_n how_o all_o thing_n

see_v they_o nor_o mind_n of_o man_n conceive_v they_o then_o sing_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o pray_v god_n to_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o to_o make_v we_o sty_n above_o the_o heaven_n namely_o by_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n for_o our_o natural_a wit_n can_v never_o attain_v thither_o and_o that_o when_o we_o have_v obtain_v that_o we_o may_v also_o have_v

above_o we_o and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v not_o step_v rash_o malapert_o nor_o presumptuous_o to_o they_o but_o reverent_o pray_v god_n to_o make_v we_o to_o taste_v his_o secret_n so_o far_o
