last_o of_o all_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n the_o air_n be_v so_o preserve_v that_o although_o all_o live_a creature_n have_v breathe_v it_o so_o many_o thousand_o year_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o consume_v or_o less_o than_o it_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n in_o the_o earth_n whose_o diverse_a form_n for_o god_n have_v not_o make_v it_o altogether_o plain_a neither_o steep_a nor_o rough_a altogether_o but_o have_v divide_v it_o into_o hill_n plain_a field_n and_o thick_a wood_n make_v it_o pleasant_a to_o behold_v and_o do_v delight_n through_o her_o variety_n second_o the_o commodity_n be_v great_a while_o the_o hill_n be_v drain_v by_o the_o valley_n do_v minister_v safe_a passage_n in_o winter_n and_o yield_v relief_n unto_o cattle_n again_o the_o plain_a field_n in_o summer_n be_v more_o pleasant_a to_o both_o purpose_n three_o as_o the_o hill_n &_o mountain_n do_v yield_v matter_n for_o carpenter_n and_o other_o artificer_n to_o work_v upon_o so_o the_o plain_a field_n do_v minister_v plenty_n of_o corn_n whereof_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n wherein_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v declare_v to_o the_o mutual_a help_n and_o relieve_v one_o of_o another_o last_o as_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n have_v enrich_v the_o earth_n so_o do_v he_o preserve_v and_o increase_v the_o same_o that_o notwithstanding_o man_n have_v reap_v thereout_o great_a and_o infinite_a treasure_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o store_n consume_v in_o so_o many_o thousand_o year_n in_o rivers_n which_o by_o the_o only_a providence_n of_o god_n do_v ebb_n and_o flow_v in_o fountain_n and_o spring_n which_o by_o the_o same_o providence_n do_v oftentimes_o break_v out_o in_o the_o top_n of_o very_o high_a mountain_n whereas_o natural_o they_o be_v carry_v downward_o and_o by_o sink_v of_o deep_a pit_n we_o be_v compel_v to_o draw_v up_o the_o water_n to_o our_o use_n second_o he_o do_v not_o only_o by_o his_o providence_n carry_v the_o water_n contrary_a to_o their_o nature_n up_o to_o the_o top_n of_o mountain_n but_o cause_v they_o also_o to_o hang_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o air_n without_o any_o stay_n three_o whereas_o natural_o water_n be_v cold_a he_o do_v warm_v it_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n without_o fire_n to_o the_o great_a profit_n and_o commodity_n of_o all_o man_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o hot_a spring_n of_o the_o which_o hot_a spring_n or_o bath_n there_o be_v of_o diverse_a kind_n and_o operation_n viz._n some_o be_v good_a to_o loosen_v and_o mollify_v the_o sinew_n which_o be_v stiff_a through_o cold_a othersome_a do_v bind_v again_o those_o which_o be_v loose_a &_o make_v they_o strong_a again_o other_o be_v good_a to_o cut_v away_o phlegm_n some_o do_v purge_v melancholy_a othersome_a do_v dry_a up_o sore_n &_o bile_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o diversity_n declare_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o the_o comfort_n &_o relief_n of_o we_o unthankful_a creature_n the_o absurdity_n and_o impiety_n of_o their_o opinion_n which_o deny_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n if_o god_n have_v no_o care_n of_o those_o thing_n he_o have_v create_v it_o be_v either_o because_o he_o be_v not_o able_a or_o for_o that_o he_o will_v not_o to_o say_v say_v god_n be_v not_o able_a who_o by_o his_o only_a word_n have_v create_v the_o whole_a world_n &_o all_o that_o therein_o be_v in_o a_o order_n and_o beauty_n so_o wonderful_a and_o unspeakable_a beside_o the_o impiety_n it_o be_v a_o over_o great_a absurdity_n consider_v that_o it_o be_v infinite_o more_o easy_a to_o preserve_v they_o be_v make_v then_o to_o create_v they_o when_o they_o be_v not_o and_o to_o make_v they_o of_o nothing_o again_o to_o think_v that_o god_n do_v hate_v his_o work_n through_o envy_n or_o

it_o be_v a_o absurd_a and_o blasphemous_a impiety_n for_o no_o such_o wickedness_n can_v come_v near_o unto_o god_n who_o be_v altogether_o good_a and_o goodness_n itself_o again_o for_o what_o cause_n shall_v god_n envy_v the_o world_n whether_o for_o the_o greatness_n thereof_o or_o for_o the_o beauty_n god_n be_v uncreated_a and_o infinite_a who_o never_o have_v beginning_n &_o shall_v have_v no_o end_n comprehend_v all_o thing_n be_v limit_v and_o comprehend_v himself_o of_o nothing_o in_o who_o hand_n be_v all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n who_o measure_v the_o heaven_n with_o his_o span_n and_o the_o whole_a earth_n with_o his_o fist_n how_o can_v he_o envy_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v compare_v to_o he_o be_v not_o a_o handful_n as_o for_o the_o

rather_o do_v great_o boast_v and_o be_v proud_a of_o the_o same_o much_o less_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o envy_n or_o wickedness_n can_v envy_v the_o excellency_n of_o his_o creation_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sea_n first_o in_o that_o god_n create_v therein_o and_o do_v preserve_v for_o the_o use_n of_o man_n infinite_a store_n of_o diverse_a kind_n of_o fish_n second_o by_o his_o only_a providence_n it_o be_v keep_v within_o his_o bound_n and_o dare_v not_o pass_v his_o prescribe_a limit_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o

other_o for_o god_n have_v not_o give_v to_o any_o one_o country_n all_o thing_n necessary_a but_o have_v as_o it_o be_v divide_v his_o benefit_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o one_o country_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o other_o they_o shall_v all_o live_v together_o in_o mutual_a amity_n and_o friendship_n wherefore_o the_o sea_n serve_v to_o the_o easy_a transport_v of_o that_o which_o we_o
