to_o those_o that_o will_v not_o cease_v from_o their_o own_o work_n here_o that_o they_o must_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v labour_n in_o eternal_a torment_n so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o with_o

what_o sort_n it_o be_v begin_v there_o be_v four_o principal_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o how_o he_o make_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n therein_o before_o that_o ever_o he_o make_v man_n secondary_o in_o what_o sort_n he_o make_v man_n three_o how_o he_o deal_v with_o he_o after_o that_o he_o have_v so_o make_v he_o last_o of_o all_o how_o god_n have_v finish_v all_o that_o his_o work_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o hallow_v it_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v not_o only_o a_o example_n of_o his_o providende_n provide_v for_o we_o before_o that_o we_o be_v but_o also_o a_o argument_n of_o his_o goodness_n prevent_v we_o because_o thereby_o we_o perceive_v he_o love_v we_o before_o that_o ever_o we_o can_v deserve_v any_o jot_n of_o his_o kindness_n the_o second_o lead_v we_o to_o consider_v what_o kind_n of_o one_o he_o make_v we_o first_o in_o body_n then_o in_o soul_n as_o touch_v our_o body_n or_o earthly_a nature_n he_o make_v man_n of_o a_o homely_a piece_n of_o earth_n which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n of_o god_n power_n a_o preservative_a against_o pride_n that_o may_v arise_v when_o he_o shall_v behold_v the_o excellency_n wherewithal_o short_o after_o he_o shall_v be_v endue_v and_o a_o figure_n of_o the_o excellent_a work_n of_o redemption_n that_o afterward_o shall_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o base_a estate_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o manhood_n of_o christ_n the_o woman_n he_o make_v of_o a_o rib_n take_v out_o of_o adam_n side_n be_v cast_v asleep_a which_o be_v a_o singular_a preprative_n true_o to_o love_v and_o a_o figure_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o be_v and_o can_v be_v none_o other_o but_o only_o it_o which_o be_v raise_v out_o of_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o adam_n christ_n as_o touch_v our_o soul_n he_o endue_v both_o the_o man_n and_o the_o woman_n with_o notable_a excellency_n so_o to_o make_v they_o a_o more_o lively_a image_n of_o himself_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o these_o four_o thing_n first_o that_o he_o make_v it_o to_o endure_v for_o ever_o secondary_o that_o he_o furnish_v it_o with_o a_o notable_a light_n of_o knowledge_n not_o only_o in_o these_o inferior_a matter_n of_o the_o world_n both_o natural_a and_o civil_a but_o also_o with_o whatsoever_o appertain_v to_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n or_o to_o his_o spiritual_a kingdom_n three_o that_o he_o make_v he_o clean_o without_o any_o stain_v of_o sin_n and_o full_o able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n that_o afterward_o be_v give_v or_o to_o follow_v the_o rule_n of_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o deed_n word_n and_o think_v last_o of_o all_o that_o he_o leave_v he_o in_o so_o perfect_v freedom_n of_o his_o will_n that_o both_o he_o may_v still_o have_v do_v good_a till_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n he_o have_v turn_v aside_o and_o yet_o that_o when_o as_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o needs_o he_o will_v he_o shall_v both_o leave_v the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o fall_v away_o to_o all_o iniquity_n and_o to_o a_o most_o wretched_a estate_n so_o both_o to_o keep_v himself_o without_o stain_v when_o man_n shoul●_n fall_v and_o to_o make_v a_o way_n to_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o mercy_n the_o third_o that_o be_v the_o consideration_n how_o he_o deal_v with_o man_n after_o that_o he_o have_v make_v he_o so_o excellent_a a_o creature_n rest_v in_o two_o principal_a point_n first_o how_o he_o do_v before_o prepare_v he_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o force_n of_o those_o his_o excellency_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o his_o commandment_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v then_o how_o he_o give_v the_o commandment_n itself_o concern_v the_o former_a of_o these_o there_o be_v three_o point_n that_o belong_v thereunto_o for_o first_o he_o give_v he_o the_o use_n and_o sovereignty_n of_o all_o other_o creature_n that_o he_o may_v the_o rather_o never_o turn_v aside_o his_o obedience_n or_o service_n to_o they_o and_o have_v therewithal_o both_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o also_o to_o maintain_v he_o therein_o secondary_o he_o give_v he_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v a_o most_o bless_a creature_n both_o by_o the_o place_n wherein_o he_o set_v he_o that_o pleasant_a paradise_n and_o especial_o by_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n that_o he_o leave_v he_o which_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v leave_v unto_o he_o to_o feed_v on_o as_o a_o sacrament_n of_o his_o bless_a estate_n and_o that_o in_o the_o midst_o of_o the_o garden_n ever_o to_o be_v before_o his_o eye_n out_o of_o both_o which_o man_n may_v have_v gather_v that_o he_o be_v marvelous_a much_o behold_v to_o god_n and_o that_o although_o now_o he_o stand_v yet_o in_o process_n of_o time_n he_o may_v fall_v last_o of_o all_o he_o fence_a he_o about_o with_o the_o exercise_n of_o bodily_a labour_n give_v he_o charge_n to_o keep_v and_o dress_v the_o garden_n out_o of_o which_o also_o he_o may_v have_v gather_v not_o only_o that_o labour_n be_v a_o needful_a exercise_n for_o he_o but_o also_o that_o he_o have_v need_n to_o preserve_v himself_o in_o the_o estate_n that_o god_n have_v give_v he_o as_o touch_v the_o latter_a of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o give_v of_o the_o commandment_n itself_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v three_o thing_n first_o what_o the_o commandment_n itself_o be_v that_o be_v to_o forbear_v one_o tree_n that_o it_o please_v god_n to_o exempt_v which_o be_v but_o obedience_n and_o that_o but_o in_o a_o small_a matter_n then_o how_o he_o direct_v he_o to_o keep_v it_o which_o he_o do_v both_o by_o denounce_v unto_o he_o most_o certain_a and_o extreme_a wretchedness_n when_o soever_o he_o shall_v break_v it_o and_o therewithal_o interpret_n the_o name_n unto_o he_o that_o otherwise_o may_v have_v be_v very_o dangerous_a last_o of_o all_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o service_n of_o god_n till_o a_o commandment_n be_v give_v and_o as_o yet_o this_o commandment_n be_v not_o give_v till_o this_o present_a that_o here_o be_v a_o other_o argument_n that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n ever_o prevent_v our_o desert_n the_o four_o and_o last_o which_o be_v how_o he_o rest_v the_o seven_o day_n may_v first_o of_o all_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o rest_n in_o christ_n in_o this_o world_n begin_v finish_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v secondary_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n or_o pledge_n that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v not_o by_o ourselves_o or_o by_o any_o other_o but_o only_o by_o the_o lord_n himself_o three_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o
by_o the_o way_n of_o mercy_n as_o touch_v the_o token_n of_o the_o reconciliation_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o we_o have_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o see_v what_o they_o be_v and_o why_o he_o do_v
