that_o the_o cause_n come_v from_o god_n he_o use_v they_o to_o make_v i_o have_v those_o thing_n and_o so_o bestow_v they_o on_o i_o m._n it_o be_v well_o say_v but_o to_o whether_o be_v you_o more_o behold_v for_o the_o thing_n you_o have_v to_o god_n or_o to_o he_o that_o immediate_o give_v it_o you_o for_o example_n for_o your_o life_n and_o be_v to_o god_n or_o your_o parent_n for_o your_o

to_o do_v m._n how_o soon_o have_v you_o forget_v you_o own_o say_n do_v you_o not_o tell_v i_o that_o your_o affection_n be_v not_o at_o all_o towards_o the_o stationer_n wherhfore_n or_o rod_n to_o which_o your_o father_n and_o master_n be_v compare_v but_o only_o to_o your_o master_n that_o reward_v or_o correct_v you_o how_o then_o be_v you_o so_o soon_o ignorant_a who_o you_o be_v most_o to_o thank_v god_n or_o the_o next_o cause_n of_o your_o good_a s._n by_o that_o rule_n i_o shall_v owe_v nothing_o to_o my_o parent_n and_o master_n but_o only_o to_o god_n m._n not_o so_o neither_o but_o to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o the_o good_a will_v he_o bear_v you_o and_o the_o share_n he_o have_v in_o the_o good_a deed_n now_o as_o thanks_o for_o god_n almighty_a you_o know_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n concur_v nor_o any_o least_o part_n of_o the_o work_n which_o belong_v not_o total_o to_o he_o on_o all_o side_n and_o from_o the_o very_a beginning_n therefore_o how_o much_o the_o be_v good_a be_v it_o be_v whole_o and_o entire_o due_a unto_o he_o but_o your_o parent_n and_o master_n be_v not_o the_o thousand_o part_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o therefore_o though_o thanks_o be_v due_a to_o they_o in_o respect_n they_o be_v the_o immediate_a cause_n yet_o in_o comparison_n of_o what_o be_v due_a he_o to_o god_n you_o be_v not_o one_o thousand_o part_n behold_v to_o they_o again_o you_o tell_v i_o god_n know_v perfect_o all_o thing_n belong_v to_o this_o good_a you_o possess_v and_o the_o best_a owe_v of_o it_o but_o the_o next_o cause_n understand_v not_o perfect_o what_o himself_o do_v but_o be_v bend_v to_o his_o work_n beyond_o his_o own_o understanding_n as_o you_o may_v easy_o see_v by_o this_o that_o yourself_o when_o you_o walk_v know_v not_o how_o you_o do_v it_o and_o we_o may_v be_v pose_v in_o twenty_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o walk_v which_o nevertheless_o ourselves_o do_v nay_o but_o among_o all_o thing_n you_o have_v be_v not_o work_v some_o as_o sing_n play_v understand_a god_n eat_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o also_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v come_v likewise_o from_o a●mighty_a god_n s._n yes_o sir_n i_o see_v well_o enough_o that_o because_o myself_o and_o all_o other_o cause_n of_o my_o action_n come_v from_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o my_o action_n come_v from_o he_o but_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v so_o for_o fear_v i_o shall_v make_v he_o author_n of_o my_o sin_n sin_n which_o i_o have_v be_v teach_v he_o be_v not_o m._n it_o be_v well_o think_v on_o but_o if_o you_o know_v that_o s●n_n be_v but_o want_v of_o do_v or_o not-doing_n you_o will_v not_o fear_v that_o consequence_n for_o as_o you_o see_v when_o a_o only_a man_n take_v a_o knife_n to_o cut_v with_o the_o cut_n p●oceed_v from_o the_o man_n but_o that_o it_o cut_v not_o so_o well_o as_o it_o shall_v proceed_v from_o the_o bluntness_n or_o want_n of_o edge_n in_o the_o knife_n and_o likewise_o the_o writing_n proceed_v from_o the_o

he_o do_v not_o so_o well_o as_o he_o ought_v which_o be_v to_o sin_n proceed_v action_n from_o some_o defect_n in_o the_o man_n for_o as_o from_o fire_n cold_a can_v proceed_v nor_o from_o water_n
