word_n in_o the_o creation_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v do_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n so_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o providence_n trust_v in_o god_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o compass_n of_o thy_o

this_o serve_v to_o check_v and_o control_v we_o for_o our_o pride_n in_o apparel_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o curious_a in_o attire_v ourselves_o for_o when_o

he_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o make_n of_o his_o fire_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o his_o furnace_n second_o the_o herb_n be_v to_o day_n and_o have_v a_o be_v to_o morrow_n it_o have_v no_o be_v but_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o herb_n so_o frail_a and_o vain_a be_v the_o creature_n that_o excel_v man_n in_o glory_n but_o man_n have_v a_o be_v to_o day_n and_o his_o be_v continue_v the_o tree_n and_o herb_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o life_n and_o soul_n as_o man_n have_v but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n for_o their_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o arise_v from_o the_o matter_n whereof_o the_o plant_n be_v make_v but_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v immortal_a be_v it_o of_o the_o righteous_a or_o the_o unrighteous_a the_o difference_n be_v plain_a in_o genesis_n where_o god_n command_v the_o earth_n to_o bring_v forth_o herb_n and_o tree_n with_o life_n and_o substance_n but_o when_o he_o make_v man_n the_o earth_n bring_v not_o forth_o his_o soul_n but_o god_n breathe_v into_o he_o a_o

to_o be_v that_o they_o be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o man_n for_o when_o he_o die_v he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v a_o man_n a_o dead_a man_n be_v a_o man_n still_o though_o not_o a_o live_a man_n and_o his_o soul_n shall_v be_v reunite_v to_o his_o body_n yea_o the_o body_n that_o be_v dead_a and_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n be_v unite_v to_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o it_o shall_v rise_v again_o i_o speak_v now_o of_o the_o righteous_a especial_o and_o therefore_o dead_a abraham_n be_v abraham_n still_o now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o other_o creature_n the_o herb_n or_o tree_n be_v burn_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o herb_n or_o tree_n but_o man_n when_o he_o die_v because_o he_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n he_o be_v still_o a_o man_n for_o he_o that_o be_v once_o in_o the_o covenant_n be_v in_o it_o for_o ever_o and_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n shall_v be_v as_o effectual_a to_o raise_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o glory_n as_o the_o word_n of_o creation_n be_v effectual_a to_o bring_v the_o creature_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o the_o diversity_n &_o difference_n be_v to_o advance_v man_n above_o

when_o christ_n speak_v thus_o to_o his_o disciple_n oligopistoi_n o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n he_o do_v not_o rebuke_v they_o simple_o for_o want_n of_o faith_n but_o because_o their_o wicked_a
