i_o have_v be_v inform_v by_o a_o godly_a brother_n from_o amsterdam_n wherein_o they_o make_v more_o haste_n the_o good_a speed_n and_o in_o their_o do_v so_o three_o thing_n offer_v themselves_o to_o our_o observation_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o make_v haste_n the_o first_o that_o make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n the_o second_o those_o that_o make_v haste_n with_o good_a speed_n the_o three_o those_o that_o make_v neither_o haste_n nor_o good_a speed_n of_o these_o in_o their_o order_n and_o first_o of_o the_o first_o they_o that_o make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n those_o i_o say_v be_v the_o popish_a and_o the_o idolatrous_a church_n that_o in_o their_o superstitious_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n follow_v they_o and_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o way_n of_o all_o sinner_n and_o reprobate_n whatsoever_o thus_o in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n they_o make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n thus_o guido_n faux_n that_o limb_n of_o the_o devil_n with_o his_o dark_a lantern_n which_o be_v another_o limb_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o every_o work_n of_o darkness_n be_v a_o limb_n of_o the_o devil_n make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n thus_o the_o earl_n of_o newcastle_n at_o this_o present_a with_o his_o papistical_a army_n make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n to_o overthrow_v our_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o ●oot_n out_o the_o true_a reform_a religion_n from_o among_o we_o but_o god_n i_o hope_v will_v put_v a_o bridle_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o send_v he_o back_o the_o way_n he_o come_v or_o send_v ●im_n to_o those_o who_o battle_n he_o fight_v whither_o yet_o he_o never_o come_v the_o second_o sort_n of_o those_o that_o make_v haste_n be_v they_o that_o make_v haste_n with_o ●ood_a speed_n and_o those_o belove_a with_o tear_n of_o joy_n i_o speak_v it_o be_v your_o ●elves_n who_o be_v meet_v all_o together_o to_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n thus_o the_o prodigal_n make_v haste_n with_o good_a speed_n to_o discharge_v the_o usurer_n before_o the_o use_n of_o his_o money_n do_v eat_v into_o his_o acre_n and_o leave_v he_o and_o his_o posterity_n desolate_a the_o three_o sort_n of_o those_o that_o make_v haste_n be_v they_o who_o neither_o make_v haste_n nor_o good_a speed_n and_o these_o belove_a let_v it_o not_o trouble_v your_o patience_n for_o i_o must_v needs_o speak_v the_o truth_n be_v our_o careless_a servant_n at_o home_n i_o be_o afraid_a now_o who_o while_o our_o pot_n be_v boil_v over_o make_v no_o haste_n ●ill_v all_o the_o fat_a be_v fall_v into_o the_o fire_n thus_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n will_v put_v no_o oil_n into_o their_o lamp_n until_o overtake_v by_o the_o bridegroom_n they_o be_v refuse_v as_o unserviceable_a and_o thus_o the_o slothful_a in_o the_o proverb_n
