scotfree_a man_n i_o must_v say_v then_o set_v foolish_a toy_n aside_o in_o all_o your_o way_n during_o your_o day_n let_v conscience_n be_v your_o guide_n let_v not_o the_o poor_a stand_v at_o your_o door_n and_o starve_v for_o lack_v of_o food_n while_o that_o you_o eat_v all_o manner_n meat_n much_o more_o than_o do_v you_o good_a keep_v not_o in_o store_n much_o clothing_n more_o than_o that_o you_o must_v needs_o ware_a bestow_v your_o gold_n in_o time_n of_o cold_a upon_o such_o as_o be_v bare_a let_v your_o work_n show_v that_o you_o do_v know_v god_n word_n set_v fantasy_n apart_z think_v yourselves_o nothing_o without_o the_o lord_n mercy_n persuade_v yourself_o this_o worldly_a pelf_n to_o be_v but_o vanity_n and_o that_o you_o ought_v to_o withhold_v nought_o from_o needful_a poverty_n you_o be_v not_o set_v riches_n to_o get_v but_o to_o order_v the_o same_o minister_a each_o needful_a thing_n to_o halt_n blind_a and_o to_o lame_a and_o for_o to_o see_v that_o such_o man_n be_v punish_v that_o have_v their_o health_n and_o will_v not_o work_v but_o lie_v and_o lurk_v hurt_v the_o common_a wealth_n do_v not_o retain_v such_o as_o disdain_v to_o work_v have_v

let_v these_o thing_n be_v redress_v delight_v not_o in_o other_o man_n sin_n nor_o your_o own_o wickedness_n but_o fast_o and_o pray_v strive_v always_o to_o follow_v righteousness_n then_o the_o earthquake_n of_o vice_n shall_v take_v no_o root_n within_o your_o breast_n you_o shall_v be_v stall_v as_o you_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o behest_n and_o you_o that_o be_v of_o low_a degree_n submit_v you_o to_o the_o power_n do_v you_o all_o thing_n by_o christ_n teach_n and_o his_o kingdom_n be_v you_o if_o you_o rebel_v you_o do_v not_o well_o but_o yet_o you_o may_v bold_o profess_v

wondrous_a fall_n the_o divine_n all_o have_v thus_o interpret_v they_o say_v that_o by_o astronomy_n man_n may_v well_o understand_v that_o the_o least_o star_n that_o do_v appear_v be_v more_o than_o all_o the_o land_n then_o they_o say_v that_o if_o these_o so_o great_a and_o so_o many_o shall_v fall_v before_o dome_n day_n there_o be_v no_o way_n we_o shall_v be_v quell_v all_o but_o christ_n gospel_n do_v plain_o tell_v that_o even_o at_o his_o come_n man_n shall_v apply_v they_o busy_o to_o provide_v for_o live_v some_o shall_v plant_v vine_n and_o some_o press_v wine_n and_o some_o shall_v marry_v wife_n and_o some_o shall_v buy_v to_o gain_v thereby_o but_o few_o shall_v mend_v their_o life_n the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v appear_v than_o and_o take_v they_o sudden_o when_o they_o think_v lest_o to_o be_v oppress_v and_o live_v most_o iocund_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o they_o do_v naught_o and_o take_v the_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n amiss_o that_o say_v there_o be_v in_o it_o no_o mystery_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o take_v there_o as_o the_o letter_n do_v sound_a two_o thing_n plain_o clean_o contrary_a in_o god_n word_n shall_v be_v find_v which_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o grant_v that_o there_o lie_v more_o mystery_n in_o prophecy_n than_o the_o word_n signify_v let_v we_o therefore_o tarry_v no_o more_o upon_o the_o word_n only_o but_o let_v our_o mind_n be_v give_v to_o find_v what_o thing_n be_v mean_v thereby_o the_o star_n be_v bright_a both_o day_n and_o night_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v clear_a he_o do_v so_o shine_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o no_o star_n can_v appear_v but_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o sun_n do_v pass_v the_o circle_n of_o our_o sight_n we_o may_v espy_v they_o easy_o through_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o themselves_o of_o that_o nature_n to_o appear_v bright_a unless_o phoebus_n splendiferous_a do_v endue_v they_o with_o light_n natural_a light_n of_o day_n and_o night_n since_o the_o world_n be_v begin_v be_v prove_v by_o astronomy_n to_o proceed_v of_o the_o sun_n the_o star_n therefore_o have_v evermore_o their_o light_n from_o phoebus_n face_n although_o they_o be_v as_o we_o do_v see_v of_o a_o far_a distant_a place_n so_o the_o clearness_n of_o godliness_n by_o god_n word_n be_v give_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o they_o that_o be_v of_o christ_n call_v christen_v christ_n by_o the_o ster_n mean_v good_a liver_n who_o work_n show_v very_o bright_a but_o their_o brightness_n be_v but_o darkness_n when_o god_n word_n be_v in_o sight_n for_o god_n mercy_n show_v so_o clear_o and_o man_n unworthiness_n be_v find_v so_o dark_a that_o no_o good_a work_n may_v show_v any_o brightness_n but_o the_o poor_a man_n that_o never_o can_v by_o day_n walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o god_n word_n must_v follow_v the_o just_a who_o work_n shine_v in_o the_o night_n the_o night_n i_o call_v this_o world_n through_o all_o wherein_o the_o christian_n sect_n be_v as_o star_n bright_a to_o give_v they_o light_n who_o darkness_n do_v infect_a the_o star_n shall_v move_v in_o heaven_n above_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o ground_n that_o phoebus_n bright_a may_v give_v they_o light_n to_o shine_v in_o the_o world_n round_o but_o now_o they_o be_v the_o more_o pity_n each_o one_o fall_v fro_o thence_o none_o do_v intend_v for_o to_o
