a_o untrue_a principle_n which_o be_v that_o god_n do_v always_o deal_v with_o man_n in_o this_o earthly_a life_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n this_o say_n be_v utter_o false_a for_o we_o see_v

that_o he_o mean_v to_o destroy_v they_o utter_o to_o be_v short_a if_o we_o will_v be_v discreet_a judger_n of_o the_o chastizement_n and_o correction_n that_o god_n send_v upon_o man_n we_o must_v

although_o then_o that_o our_o affliction_n be_v great_a and_o excessive_a yet_o must_v we_o still_o hope_v for_o god_n help_n which_o doubtless_o will_v be_v beyond_o all_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n and_o beyond_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o we_o can_v conceive_v and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o text_n only_o that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o but_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n very_o rife_o

one_o of_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n in_o himself_o and_o consequent_o he_o add_v yet_o one_o sentence_n more_o for_o thereupon_o a_o man_n may_v reply_v that_o god_n afflict_v not_o man_n

strange_a if_o he_o bereave_v we_o of_o they_o afterward_o but_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o say_a knowledge_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o namely_o that_o god_n do_v evermore_o hold_v such_o a_o

themselves_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o grant_v it_o much_o more_o to_o the_o live_a god_n see_v then_o that_o god_n ought_v to_o have_v this_o mastership_n not_o only_o over_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o

be_v that_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v it_o any_o better_a than_o flat_a mockery_n yea_o very_o it_o be_v too_o gross_a a_o hypocrisy_n when_o after_o we_o have_v protest_v to_o hold_v all_o thing_n of_o

thou_o so_o then_o thy_o soundness_n boot_v thou_o nothing_o at_o all_o lo_o here_o what_o her_o conclusion_n be_v as_o concern_v that_o which_o follow_v namely_o bliss_n god_n and_o die_v it_o be_v expound_v in_o diverse_a manner_n for_o we_o have_v see_v how_o this_o word_n bliss_n be_v sometime_o take_v to_o curse_n and_o that_o custom_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o manner_n of_o speak_v serve_v to_o teach_v we_o to_o detest_v blasphemy_n against_o god_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v name_v then_o be_v we_o do_v to_o understand_v that_o to_o grudge_v against_o god_n or_o to_o spite_v he_o or_o too_o cast_v forth_o any_o word_n that_o may_v sound_v to_o his_o dishonour_n be_v so_o detestable_a a_o thing_n as_o we_o must_v even_o shudder_v and_o quake_v at_o it_o according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v against_o whoredom_n and_o other_o villainous_a looseness_n and_o against_o gluttony_n and_o robbery_n let_v they_o not_o say_v he_o be_v once_o name_v among_o you_o and_o therefore_o some_o expound_v this_o sentence_n thus_o bliss_n the_o lord_n that_o be_v to_o say_v provoke_v god_n to_o anger_n and_o then_o thou_o die_v for_o it_o revenge_n thyself_o on_o he_o once_o ere_o thou_o die_v for_o thou_o see_v well_o enough_o that_o he_o have_v deceive_v thou_o and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o this_o woman_n here_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o satan_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v marvel_v though_o she_o be_v as_o a_o sheedivell_n or_o as_o a_o fiend_n of_o hell_n to_o set_v job_n in_o such_o a_o

it_o be_v this_o rather_o bliss_n god_n and_o die_v that_o be_v to_o say_v well_o may_v thou_o persist_v to_o bliss_n god_n as_o much_o as_o thou_o will_v but_o when_o thou_o have_v all_o do_v thou_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o by_o it_o it_o be_v but_o lose_a labour_n thou_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o die_v do_v what_o thou_o can_v it_o be_v full_o determine_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o thou_o see_v that_o god_n have_v not_o hear_v thy_o prayer_n whether_o thou_o glorify_v he_o or_o not_o it_o be_v all_o one_o none_o of_o this_o shall_v come_v at_o heaven_n therefore_o thou_o have_v spin_a a_o fair_a thread_n in_o humble_v thyself_o afore_o god_n nay_o sith_o thou_o must_v die_v like_o a_o poor_a forlorn_a caitiff_n look_v not_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v appease_v towards_o thou_o nor_o that_o his_o wrath_n shall_v be_v assuage_v thou_o must_v needs_o pass_v through_o it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o sense_n come_v continual_o all_o to_o one_o point_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v i_o not_o too_o stand_v great_o upon_o the_o word_n for_o the_o principal_a point_n be_v too_o have_v such_o doctrine_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v we_o for_o the_o first_o point_n and_o

to_o wrath_n and_o final_o have_v flinge_v himself_o over_o all_o the_o field_n like_o a_o wood_n beast_n and_o here_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v thorough_o what_o be_v say_v of_o job_n for_o it_o be_v a_o common_a instruction_n for_o all_o the_o faithful_a therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v it_o well_o away_o and_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o own_o use_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o say_n here_o come_v out_o of_o a_o woman_n mouth_n but_o how_o many_o be_v there_o to_o be_v find_v that_o will_v say_v the_o like_a at_o this_o day_n it_o be_v the_o ordinary_a custom_n of_o the_o world_n for_o we_o serve_v not_o god_n now_o adays_o but_o by_o indenture_n as_o they_o say_v yea_o and_o man_n themselves_o be_v not_o ashamed_a too_o confess_v their_o own_o unbelief_n by_o their_o proverb_n they_o say_v a_o man_n shall_v not_o trust_v so_o much_o to_o the_o bough_n as_o to_o let_v go_v his_o hold_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o tree_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o they_o must_v not_o trust_v altogether_o unto_o god_n whereuntoo_n tend_v these_o thing_n but_o to_o show_v that_o we_o yield_v no_o honour_n unto_o god_n but_o we_o conceive_v they_o according_o as_o the_o thing_n themselves_o import_v if_o god_n do_v we_o good_a peradventure_o it_o may_v so_o be_v that_o we_o will_v show_v how_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o he_o but_o if_o he_o handle_v we_o amiss_o incontinent_o it_o be_v at_o our_o tongue_n end_v to_o say_v to_o what_o purpose_n do_v we_o overlabour_v ourselves_o also_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o job_n be_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v by_o his_o own_o

then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o do_v beside_o this_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o wicked_a come_v not_o to_o prick_v we_o forward_o after_o that_o manner_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v that_o even_o they_o which_o have_v profit_v most_o in_o god_n school_n may_v conceive_v such_o imagination_n of_o themselves_o we_o see_v how_o even_o david_n confess_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o have_v stand_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o ice_n and_o think_v he_o shall_v have_v slide_v when_o he_o enter_v into_o that_o discourse_n with_o himself_o and_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a sort_n be_v oftentimes_o too_o well_o entreat_v so_o as_o they_o glut_v themselves_o with_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n and_o pine_a not_o away_o as_o the_o good_a man_n do_v and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n the_o poor_a faithful_a one_o drink_v here_o of_o the_o water_n of_o sorrow_n so_o as_o god_n cease_v not_o too_o punish_v they_o wherefore_o he_o protest_v that_o in_o the_o end_n he_o come_v to_o say_v and_o what_o then_o that_o i_o have_v endeavour_v too_o have_v clean_a and_o pure_a hand_n be_v it_o any_o better_a than_o lose_v time_n be_v it_o not_o a_o unprofitable_a labour_n david_n confess_v that_o

we_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o devil_n bring_v such_o
the_o aid_n that_o god_n give_v they_o how_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v utter_o overcome_v by_o satan_n and_o thereupon_o do_v quiet_a themselves_o and_o take_v comfort_n in_o that_o he_o preserve_v they_o the_o number_n of_o they_o be_v very_o small_a and_o yet_o be_v not_o this_o write_v in_o vain_a but_o in_o general_a we_o have_v now_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o sigh_v and_o groan_v all_o their_o life_n long_o till_o god_n have_v take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n always_o wish_v for_o their_o end_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o death_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o must_v restrain_v themselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v whole_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n good_a pleasure_n know_v that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v for_o themselves_o first_o i_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a may_v well_o sigh_v as_o folk_n that_o be_v weary_a of_o their_o long_a pin_v in_o this_o prison_n of_o theirfleshe_n namely_o for_o the_o cause_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v because_o they_o serve_v not_o god_n in_o such_o freedom_n as_o be_v requisite_a but_o draw_v their_o line_n amiss_o so_o as_o they_o work_v awry_o and_o oftentimes_o swerve_v aside_o and_o which_o more_o be_v we_o must_v sigh_v but_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o often_o as_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o overwearinesse_n when_o the_o matter_n stand_v upon_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n for_o that_o must_v spur_v we_o to_o desire_n god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o this_o

christ_n and_o hereby_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o only_o grant_v to_o god_n child_n to_o wish_v for_o death_n but_o also_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o wish_v for_o it_o for_o they_o show_v not_o a_o good_a proof_n of_o their_o faith_n except_o they_o seek_v to_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n according_a as_o in_o deed_n all_o thing_n haste_v and_o labour_n towards_o their_o mark_n but_o our_o mark_n be_v aloft_o and_o therefore_o must_v we_o never_o leave_v run_v till_o we_o come_v to_o our_o way_n end_v which_o god_o have_v set_v we_o and_o we_o must_v desire_v that_o that_o may_v be_v quick_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o cause_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v provoke_v to_o wish_v for_o death_n because_o we_o be_v subject_v some_o to_o sickness_n some_o to_o poverty_n some_o too_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o to_o a_o other_o but_o because_o we_o be_v not_o full_o reform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o because_o we_o have_v many_o imperfection_n in_o we_o mark_v well_o i_o say_v the_o cause_n that_o must_v spur_v and_o provoke_v we_o too_o desire_v death_n namely_o too_o the_o end_n that_o be_v rid_v of_o this_o mortal_a body_n which_o be_v like_o a_o cabane_n full_a of_o all_o stench_n and_o noisomeness_n we_o may_v be_v full_o reform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n so_o as_o he_o may_v reign_v in_o we_o and_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v utter_o do_v away_o and_o furthermore_o let_v we_o keep_v we_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o desire_v to_o live_v and_o die_v at_o god_n pleasure_n so_o as_o we_o may_v not_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o will_n but_o so_o as_o we_o may_v make_v as_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o it_o in_o that_o behalf_n that_o our_o live_n may_v not_o be_v too_o ourselves_o but_o to_o god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v say_v lord_n i_o know_v my_o own_o frailty_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v thy_o will_n too_o hold_v i_o in_o this_o world_n and_o here_o

it_o be_v always_o at_o thy_o commandment_n too_o dispose_v of_o it_o at_o thine_o own_o pleasure_n behold_v i_o say_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o deal_v in_o this_o case_n and_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o have_v our_o affection_n evermore_o quiet_v yea_o even_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v continual_o praise_v god_n name_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n he_o will_v always_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n and_o saviour_n towards_o we_o but_o after_o that_o job_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v that_o such_o as_o be_v so_o distress_v in_o their_o heart_n will_v be_v full_a glad_a and_o fain_a if_o they_o may_v find_v their_o grave_n wherein_o he_o bewray_v himself_o too_o speak_v through_o a_o brutish_a and_o unadvised_a affection_n and_o that_o he_o

with_o a_o half_a fall_n and_o god_n raise_v he_o up_o again_o afterward_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v yet_o nevertheless_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o as_o we_o must_v very_o condemn_v this_o infirmity_n

i_o have_v begin_v already_o to_o expound_v this_o sentence_n where_o job_n say_v that_o he_o have_v no_o rest_n because_o it_o be_v god_n that_o pursue_v he_o by_o reason_n whereof_o he_o be_v the_o

which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o that_o righteousness_n which_o he_o stand_v to_o and_o accept_v we_o shall_v be_v nothing_o &_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v in_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v utter_o deface_v this_o require_v a_o large_a declaration_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v true_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o in_o his_o law_n there_o be_v not_o any_o mortal_a wight_n that_o can_v be_v find_v righteous_a for_o where_o be_v the_o perfect_a love_n that_o be_v require_v there_o i_o say_v we_o love_v not_o god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o forsomuch_o then_o as_o we_o fail_v both_o in_o love_n towards_o god_n &_o in_o charity_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n we_o be_v condemn_v by_o god_n law_n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n allege_v this_o text_n curse_v be_v he_o that_o persourm_v not_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n conclude_v thereupon_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o any_o righteousness_n among_o man_n nor_o any_o hope_n of_o their_o salvation_n if_o they_o rest_v upon_o their_o own_o work_n why_o so_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n be_v curse_v therefore_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o yea_o very_o for_o be_v there_o any_o to_o be_v find_v which_o have_v walk_v according_a to_o god_n law_n no_o i_o mean_v in_o full_a perfection_n for_o if_o we_o have_v miss_v in_o any_o one_o point_n we_o be_v guilty_a in_o all_o because_o that_o as_o s._n james_n say_v he_o that_o have_v forbid_v to_o

righteousness_n mark_v then_o a_o special_a point_n which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n enter_v into_o account_v with_o we_o according_a too_o the_o rule_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o law_n he_o shall_v not_o find_v so_o much_o as_o one_o righteous_a man_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n there_o be_v that_o walk_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n howbeit_o not_o through_o their_o own_o nature_n for_o how_o fair_a show_n soever_o we_o make_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o till_o god_n govern_v we_o with_o his_o spirit_n all_o the_o holiness_n that_o man_n perceive_v in_o we_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n and_o untruth_n but_o if_o god_n touch_v our_o heart_n and_o write_v his_o law_n within_o the_o same_o then_o shall_v we_o obey_v he_o howbeit_o not_o thorough_o nor_o with_o such_o perfect_a soundness_n as_o we_o may_v come_v bold_o before_o god_n to_o be_v acquit_v nevertheless_o there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o the_o despiser_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a for_o although_o the_o faithful_a man_n have_v many_o infirmity_n in_o he_o and_o can_v walk_v so_o right_a as_o he_o fain_o will_v yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o serve_v god_n he_o labour_v in_o it_o &_o he_o enforce_v himself_o to_o it_o whereas_o the_o faithless_a take_v scorn_n of_o all_o goodness_n cast_v god_n off_o and_o make_v none_o account_v of_o he_o but_o be_v give_v to_o his_o own_o sensuality_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o some_o may_v be_v call_v righteous_a who_o deserve_v not_o to_o be_v accept_v so_o before_o god_n there_o be_v no_o find_v of_o any_o perfect_a righteousness_n here_o in_o man_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v behold_v to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o or_o that_o they_o have_v deserve_v well_o at_o his_o hand_n &_o that_o he_o can_v find_v any_o fault_n in_o they_o or_o in_o their_o life_n no_o but_o we_o speak_v of_o another_o righteousness_n which_o god_n accept_v of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v but_o half_a a_o one_o which_o may_v be_v right_o condemn_v howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o condemn_v because_o god_n impute_v not_o the_o fault_n and_o imperfection_n that_o be_v in_o his_o faithful_a one_o and_o job_n do_v not_o here_o term_v himself_o a_o wicked_a man_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o lawless_a &_o awelesse_a person_n you_o shall_v see_v a_o whoremonger_n that_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o all_o filthiness_n &_o mock_v at_o god_n to_o

for_o their_o naughtiness_n be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o square_a as_o we_o ought_v of_o

we_o have_v to_o consider_v upon_o this_o text_n where_o job_n confess_v that_o if_o he_o give_v his_o excessive_a passion_n head_n the_o same_o must_v needs_o rebound_v back_o upon_o himself_o or_o against_o himself_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n he_o declare_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v not_o to_o lift_v up_o himself_o against_o god_n but_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o the_o complaint_n that_o he_o shall_v make_v come_v of_o the_o grief_n that_o he_o endure_v by_o his_o adversity_n therefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n but_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v acknowledge_v they_o we_o must_v also_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o they_o do_v we_o perceive_v that_o our_o flesh_n be_v unable_a too_o bear_v the_o affliction_n which_o god_n send_v we_o let_v we_o run_v unto_o he_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o strength_n yea_o not_o for_o himself_o but_o to_o deal_v it_o abroad_o to_o such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o it_o now_o when_o man_n know_v their_o infirmity_n what_o have_v they_o too_o do_v behold_v god_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v able_a too_o help_v they_o and_o strengthen_v they_o see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v warn_v so_o of_o our_o disease_n why_o go_v we_o not_o to_o the_o physician_n but_o what_o it_o seem_v too_o most_o man_n that_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a discharge_n for_o they_o too_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o have_v sin_v but_o i_o

shall_v proceed_v with_o he_o by_o the_o say_v secret_a and_o hide_a rightfulness_n whereof_o i_o treat_v yesterday_o but_o he_o will_v have_v god_n to_o examine_v he_o after_o his_o ordinary_a manner_n i_o say_v afore_o that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o sure_a rule_n in_o his_o law_n and_o that_o if_o we_o be_v entreat_v according_a to_o our_o offence_n we_o behold_v god_n righteousness_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o there_o and_o our_o indictment_n be_v give_v we_o and_o lay_v afore_o we_o in_o writing_n insomuch_o that_o we_o see_v there_o the_o article_n that_o be_v prove_v against_o we_o yea_o and_o so_o well_o prove_v as_o they_o suffice_v to_o cast_v we_o therefore_o when_o man_n be_v scourge_v at_o god_n hand_n for_o their_o sin_n then_o see_v they_o in_o the_o law_n not_o only_o their_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n but_o also_o all_o their_o whole_a indictment_n there_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o lay_v forth_o from_o point_n to_o point_n as_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o cast_v their_o head_n into_o their_o bosom_n howbeit_o forsomuch_o as_o god_n scourge_v not_o job_n after_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n but_o have_v grant_v satan_n leave_v too_o trouble_v he_o therefore_o job_n say_v condemn_v i_o not_o till_o thou_o have_v first_o commence_v thy_o action_n against_o i_o and_o this_o be_v say_v because_o god_n secret_a justice_n be_v very_o strange_a for_o

accountable_a to_o we_o and_o when_o god_n scourge_v we_o and_o let_v we_o not_o know_v wherefore_o thereupon_o we_o be_v amaze_v and_o we_o be_v angry_a at_o it_o how_o so_o be_v not_o god_n righteous_a then_o must_v not_o all_o that_o he_o do_v needs_o be_v rule_v by_o reason_n and_o uprightness_n yes_o but_o i_o see_v it_o not_o to_o be_v so_o but_o rather_o the_o flat_a contrary_n see_v how_o man_n be_v puff_v up_o to_o plead_v against_o god_n they_o make_v discourse_n within_o themselves_o yea_o even_a discourse_n of_o hartburn_a and_o sumishnesse_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o job_n seek_v in_o this_o sentence_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o show_v he_o plain_o yea_o say_v i_o and_o to_o make_v he_o perceive_v that_o how_o righteous_a so_o ever_o he_o have_v be_v it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v chastise_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o wherefore_o do_v he_o then_o make_v such_o protestation_n for_o he_o seem_v to_o bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o his_o case_n be_v good_a if_o god_n will_v chastise_v he_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n no_o no_o but_o he_o rather_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n which_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v confess_v himself_o unfeigned_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o that_o although_o god_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o punish_v he_o so_o grievous_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o do_v not_o punish_v for_o his_o sin_n sake_n and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o he_o see_v many_o wicked_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n who_o be_v spare_v while_o he_o be_v punish_v and_o as_o for_o his_o own_o part_n he_o have_v always_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v god_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o power_n wherefore_o then_o be_v he_o so_o scourge_v but_o because_o god_n have_v some_o other_o special_a consideration_n you_o see_v then_o what_o job_n pretend_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o obtain_v that_o god_n shall_v handle_v he_o after_o a_o ordinary_a manner_n too_o the_o end_n to_o make_v he_o perceive_v his_o sin_n and_o heerewithall_o we_o have_v to_o apply_v this_o present_a lesson_n to_o our_o own_o instruction_n and_o it_o will_v stand_v we_o in_o great_a stead_n the_o apply_v of_o it_o be_v to_o pray_v god_n to_o show_v we_o wherefore_o he_o enter_v process_n against_o we_o and_o why_o he_o call_v we_o to_o judgement_n for_o without_o that_o all_o the_o chastizement_n that_o we_o can_v endure_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n according_a as_o we_o see_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v harden_v themselves_o against_o god_n we_o see_v how_o god_n scourge_n do_v beat_v both_o great_a and_o small_a and_o in_o deed_n every_o man_n cry_v alas_o that_o the_o wretched_a world_n be_v no_o better_o now_o adays_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n where_o be_v the_o repentance_n what_o avail_v all_o these_o chastizement_n it_o seem_v that_o man_n have_v conspire_v to_o withstand_v god_n and_o to_o beat_v back_o his_o blow_n insomuch_o that_o if_o god_n give_v they_o never_o so_o great_a stroke_n with_o a_o hammer_n we_o see_v their_o heart_n be_v as_o stythe_n and_o so_o far_o off_o be_v they_o from_o soften_a that_o they_o rather_o harden_v at_o it_o whereof_o come_v this_o but_o because_o we_o want_v the_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n to_o know_v why_o god_n plead_v against_o we_o so_o than_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a petition_n for_o we_o when_o we_o desire_v god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o simple_o condemn_v we_o but_o rather_o make_v we_o to_o understand_v wherein_o we_o be_v guilty_a and_o

a_o special_a point_n and_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o second_o request_n which_o be_v that_o god_n punish_v of_o we_o may_v not_o be_v to_o oppress_v we_o
no_o further_a knowledge_n but_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n justice_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o job_n speak_v of_o

into_o this_o world_n and_o be_v as_o noble_a and_o excellent_a creature_n of_o god_n as_o any_o can_v be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o mean_n of_o sin_n death_n have_v as_o it_o be_v abolish_v and_o raze_v out_o that_o nobleness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o god_n mislike_v we_o and_o disclaim_v we_o as_o though_o his_o hand_n have_v not_o fashion_v we_o because_o we_o be_v disfigure_v and_o the_o devil_n have_v set_v his_o mark_n and_o stamp_n upon_o we_o and_o furthermore_o be_v subject_n too_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o adam_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o banish_v out_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n but_o it_o abhor_v we_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o ourselves_o but_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o that_o battle_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v confound_v utter_o you_o see_v that_o the_o cause_n why_o man_n stand_v so_o much_o in_o their_o own_o conceit_n be_v for_o that_o they_o can_v bethink_v they_o of_o god_n justice_n as_o they_o ought_v too_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o come_v too_o that_o point_n howbeit_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v how_o wretched_a our_o life_n be_v and_o that_o death_n be_v yet_o more_o wretched_a because_o it_o be_v the_o great_a gulf_n that_o serve_v too_o show_v we_o of_o what_o importance_n the_o curse_n be_v which_o god_n pronounce_v against_o we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n i_o say_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o we_o must_v also_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o swallow_v up_o of_o heaviness_n and_o what_o remedy_n be_v there_o the_o remedy_n be_v to_o turn_v our_o eye_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o mean_a whereby_o god_n enlighten_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n be_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o who_o we_o have_v the_o true_a daysun_n of_o righteousness_n now_o than_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o no_o death_n can_v be_v dreadful_a unto_o we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o david_n say_v that_o god_n sheephooj_n shall_v comfort_v he_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n sheephooj_v he_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o nothing_o so_o long_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o shepherd_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o then_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v of_o what_o mind_n job_n speak_v here_o he_o know_v that_o if_o man_n be_v consider_v in_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n both_o in_o their_o life_n and_o in_o their_o death_n howbeit_o see_v we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n although_o our_o state_n seem_v never_o so_o wretched_a insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v but_o as_o poor_a worm_n subject_a too_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n yet_o come_v we_o too_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n give_v we_o when_o he_o make_v light_a to_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o mid_n of_o darkness_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n turn_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_a see_v we_o know_v this_o we_o have_v too_o rejoice_v in_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v cause_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n to_o shine_v forth_o in_o our_o death_n yea_o even_o more_o than_o in_o our_o life_n for_o when_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o dungeon_n and_o gulf_n of_o hell_n then_o do_v god_n open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o even_o then_o he_o make_v we_o too_o enter_v into_o the_o dwell_a place_n whereoutof_o we_o be_v now_o after_o a_o sort_n banish_v and_o christ_n enlighten_v we_o not_o only_o in_o death_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o darkness_n which_o be_v

be_v poor_a blind_a soul_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n cess_v not_o to_o enlighten_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n we_o have_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n which_o be_v as_o burn_a cressette_n too_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o far_o great_a light_n yea_o even_o as_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o high_a noon_n you_o see_v then_o how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a light_n for_o we_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n so_o we_o look_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o we_o must_v first_o feel_v what_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n environ_v we_o round_o about_o until_o such_o time_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n furthermore_o when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v enlighten_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v walk_v in_o hope_n of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n although_o god_n take_v we_o hence_o and_o death_n before_o our_o eye_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o tarry_v his_o leisure_n till_o he_o comfort_v our_o soul_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n for_o they_o be_v always_o incomber_v and_o have_v not_o their_o perfect_a joy_n so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v in_o our_o body_n and_o till_o that_o god_n take_v they_o up_o to_o himself_o for_o a_o do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o think_v upon_o death_n alone_o by_o itself_o without_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o any_o high_a god_n may_v now_o and_o then_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o same_o point_n that_o he_o

victory_n against_o such_o temptation_n so_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o likewise_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v warn_v hereby_o that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o walk_v wary_o pray_v our_o good_a god_n that_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o call_v we_o to_o account_v in_o
mouth_n for_o god_n have_v set_v his_o sustenance_n in_o the_o labour_n of_o his_o hand_n if_o i_o do_v he_o wrong_v it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o suck_v the_o blood_n out_o of_o he_o who_o

example_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v lay_v it_o forth_o by_o piecemeal_o &_o that_o according_a as_o any_o of_o we_o have_v too_o deal_v with_o our_o neighbour_n we_o shall_v behave_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v give_v no_o man_n occasion_n to_o complain_v of_o we_o and_o furthermore_o also_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o own_o household_n for_o before_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o faithful_a man_n to_o forbear_v evildoing_a direct_o himself_o but_o also_o he_o will_v have_v all_o crooked_a way_n to_o be_v far_o from_o we_o and_o special_o that_o we_o have_v a_o care_n to_o govern_v our_o house_n that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v both_o of_o the_o child_n and_o of_o the_o husband_n and_o of_o the_o wife_n and_o of_o the_o master_n &_o of_o the_o menseruant_n and_o of_o the_o make_a servant_n and_o will_v god_n that_o this_o be_v think_v upon_o better_a than_o it_o be_v for_o where_o the_o head_n of_o a_o house_n go_v astray_o and_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o there_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v that_o all_o go_v to_o wreck_n and_o that_o the_o child_n also_o do_v no_o honour_n to_o their_o father_n &_o mother_n for_o they_o become_v not_o better_o but_o before_o they_o can_v have_v any_o discretion_n you_o shall_v see_v they_o root_v in_o naughtiness_n and_o the_o man_n and_o maiden_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o corruption_n true_a it_o be_v that_o master_n and_o mistress_n can_v tell_v well_o enough_o how_o to_o find_v fault_n when_o their_o servant_n commit_v any_o lewd_a prank_n or_o filche_v any_o thing_n from_o they_o or_o serve_v they_o not_o as_o they_o will_v have_v they_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n if_o god_n be_v offend_v a_o thousand_o way_n it_o make_v no_o matter_n that_o shall_v be_v let_v slip_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behove_v it_o we_o to_o mark_v well_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o content_a god_n by_o be_v careful_a to_o serve_v he_o all_o only_a in_o our_o own_o person_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o those_o who_o we_o have_v charge_n of_o that_o we_o keep_v away_o evil_a in_o any_o wise_a assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o consent_v unto_o it_o we_o must_v be_v wrap_v in_o the_o same_o damnation_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v but_o if_o we_o be_v so_o diligent_a as_o to_o take_v heed_n to_o it_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o our_o god_n will_v regard_v we_o with_o mercy_n and_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o we_o with_o all_o blessing_n and_o grace_n according_a as_o be_v promise_v here_o very_o we_o have_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o to_o mark_v which_o be_v that_o god_n favour_n will_v not_o show_v itself_o always_o at_o the_o first_o brunt_n the_o promise_n that_o be_v contain_v here_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o law_n or_o at_o leastwise_o be_v of_o the_o same_o effect_n for_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o we_o know_v not_o in_o what_o time_n this_o book_n be_v write_v but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v to_o they_o for_o you_o see_v here_o a_o doctrine_n which_o be_v conformable_a to_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n where_o our_o lord_n promise_v to_o bliss_n those_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o dwell_v among_o they_o and_o to_o make_v they_o perceive_v how_o available_a his_o presence_n be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o their_o life_n shall_v be_v happy_a by_o it_o but_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o i_o have_v touch_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n make_v we_o not_o to_o feel_v his_o favour_n at_o the_o first_o push_n therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bliss_v and_o he_o will_v make_v they_o to_o prosper_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n visit_v not_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v alienate_v quite_o from_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o call_v upon_o he_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o linger_v in_o pain_n so_o as_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o they_o be_v but_o that_o to_o their_o seem_n god_n have_v utter_o forsake_v they_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o walk_v in_o this_o world_n through_o many_o affliction_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o serve_v god_n but_o heerewithall_o we_o have_v a_o double_a comfort_n which_o be_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o although_o our_o heart_n tend_v unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o with_o such_o zeal_n as_o it_o ought_v neither_o do_v we_o serve_v he_o with_o such_o affection_n as_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o do_v therefore_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v punishment_n and_o correction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o yet_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n make_v we_o to_o consider_v our_o own_o want_n that_o we_o may_v humble_v ourselves_o fall_v to_o amendment_n and_o return_v unto_o he_o when_o we_o have_v be_v exercise_v after_o that_o sort_n with_o the_o trouble_n that_o he_o send_v lo_o here_o one_o great_a comfort_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o like_a as_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o tribulation_n and_o death_n even_o

and_o that_o our_o state_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o wretchedde_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o make_v we_o feel_v continual_o that_o he_o be_v near_o we_o and_o have_v not_o

grievous_a temptation_n for_o he_o and_o very_o offensive_a we_o must_v then_o arm_v ourselves_o with_o this_o that_o be_v here_o set_v before_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o god_n visit_v we_o and_o we_o be_v handle_v rough_o of_o he_o we_o may_v not_o be_v so_o oppress_v with_o confusion_n that_o despair_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o we_o but_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n cease_v

to_o ourselves_o now_o let_v we_o note_v thing_n particular_o job_n here_o protest_v that_o although_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o punish_v at_o the_o first_o fault_n yet_o ought_v no_o man_n therefore_o to_o think_v they_o happy_a for_o he_o know_v that_o their_o felicity_n shall_v not_o continue_v but_o that_o god_n shall_v make_v a_o end_n of_o it_o â–ª_o their_o prosperity_n say_v he_o

contrary_n so_o that_o i_o think_v the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o escape_v one_o whit_n the_o better_a cheap_a and_o why_o for_o they_o be_v not_o lord_n of_o their_o own_o state_n as_o they_o say_v but_o god_n hold_v they_o in_o a_o bridle_n &_o he_o can_v deprive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o pleasure_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o think_v to_o make_v to_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a felicity_n yea_o they_o be_v so_o blind_v in_o themselves_o and_o so_o puff_v up_o with_o pride_n as_o they_o think_v themselves_o half_a angel_n &_o to_o be_v brief_a do_v reckon_v themselves_o to_o be_v out_o of_o all_o danger_n well_o their_o prosperity_n be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o hand_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o deceive_v themselves_o with_o a_o vain_a imagination_n and_o they_o do_v but_o dream_v when_o they_o say_v their_o life_n be_v so_o happy_a therefore_o their_o intent_n be_v far_o from_o i_o that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o will_v not_o be_v blind_v with_o this_o present_a felicity_n that_o man_n do_v see_v in_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o that_o be_v make_v drunken_a with_o it_o we_o see_v then_o what_o job_n mean_v to_o declare_v by_o these_o word_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a profit_n in_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o note_v that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o wicked_a prevail_v god_n hold_v a_o secret_a bridle_n in_o their_o mouth_n so_o that_o all_o that_o they_o have_v to_o day_n shall_v be_v take_v from_o they_o to_o morrow_n and_o they_o have_v nothing_o in_o their_o own_o power_n if_o this_o be_v well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o trouble_v as_o we_o be_v with_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o behold_v with_o our_o eye_n and_o why_o because_o we_o think_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o see_v to_o day_n shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o world_n go_v round_o and_o that_o thing_n be_v change_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o that_o nothing_o be_v certain_a nor_o nothing_o be_v sure_a and_o constant_a we_o do_v affirm_v it_o plain_o enough_o with_o our_o mouth_n but_o we_o think_v it_o not_o with_o our_o heart_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o to_o day_n we_o be_v in_o prosperity_n our_o head_n be_v so_o encumber_v with_o it_o that_o we_o think_v all_o be_v we_o and_o we_o make_v the_o reckon_n without_o our_o host_n if_o we_o have_v any_o affliction_n than_o we_o say_v and_o will_v it_o always_o be_v thus_o we_o think_v we_o shall_v never_o see_v a_o end_n of_o it_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o be_v grieve_v with_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a we_o imagine_v that_o they_o shall_v never_o come_v too_o decay_n and_o if_o we_o stand_v in_o fear_n of_o they_o we_o be_v take_v with_o such_o fear_n that_o we_o think_v there_o be_v no_o remedy_n and_o if_o any_o man_n say_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o abide_v patient_o and_o god_n shall_v provide_v we_o can_v not_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n providence_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o present_a thing_n do_v carry_v we_o away_o and_o we_o be_v so_o encumber_v with_o they_o that_o we_o have_v no_o stay_n in_o our_o mind_n neither_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n nor_o to_o commit_v ourselves_o to_o he_o nor_o to_o know_v that_o he_o will_v provide_v for_o thing_n in_o due_a time_n and_o place_n so_o much_o the_o more_o diligent_o must_v we_o learn_v this_o doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o hand_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o man_n may_v be_v in_o prosperity_n but_o their_o life_n hang_v by_o a_o thread_n as_o we_o have_v see_v here_o before_o and_o all_o that_o which_o they_o think_v they_o have_v they_o have_v it_o but_o by_o way_n of_o borrow_v &_o in_o a_o moment_n all_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o they_o let_v we_o know_v this_o and_o when_o we_o know_v it_o if_o god_n bestow_v his_o benefit_n upon_o we_o concern_v this_o present_a life_n let_v we_o acknowledge_v all_o to_o come_v of_o he_o yea_o and_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o be_v spoil_v of_o they_o as_o we_o be_v to_o be_v clothe_v with_o they_o behold_v lord_n thou_o haste_v give_v i_o wherewith_o too_o live_v but_o i_o be_o not_o certain_a and_o sure_a thereof_o i_o must_v not_o make_v my_o account_n to_o enjoy_v it_o for_o ever_o but_o so_o long_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v thy_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n thus_o
nevertheless_o god_n do_v general_o show_v that_o it_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v measure_v he_o by_o our_o span_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v what_o remain_v then_o we_o must_v honour_v god_n secret_n when_o they_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o and_o therewithal_o confess_v that_o all_o his_o do_n be_v dispose_v with_o infinite_a wisdom_n uprightness_n &_o goodness_n and_o that_o if_o any_o man_n attempt_n to_o doubt_v of_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o shame_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n lord_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v thou_o shall_v be_v find_v righteous_a for_o david_n see_v well_o the_o devilish_a pride_n that_o be_v in_o man_n who_o will_v needs_o be_v always_o reply_v against_o god_n and_o control_a of_o he_o but_o what_o win_v they_o by_o it_o nothing_o but_o that_o god_n must_v maintain_v his_o own_o right_n and_o they_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o their_o malapertness_n thus_o you_o see_v a_o point_n that_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v bear_v in_o mind_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o we_o go_v from_o the_o sun_n rise_v to_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o and_o draw_v about_o from_o north_n to_o south_n when_o we_o have_v hunt_v over_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o attain_v unto_o god_n hereby_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o god_n determination_n be_v such_o a_o bottomless_a sea_n as_o we_o can_v never_o attain_v to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o rightfulness_n which_o be_v in_o they_o be_v a_o infinite_a thing_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v our_o own_o ability_n and_o mark_v what_o infirmity_n be_v in_o we_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bestow_v all_o his_o whole_a life_n in_o travel_v yet_o can_v he_o not_o know_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o know_v of_o god_n when_o we_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o centre_n that_o be_v too_o say_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o earth_n little_n or_o nothing_o and_o sure_o if_o we_o can_v sty_n up_o above_o the_o cloud_n yet_o shall_v we_o come_v far_o short_a of_o know_v all_o that_o be_v in_o god_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v two_o thing_n brief_o the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o god_n work_v not_o after_o our_o manner_n we_o must_v not_o think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o or_o that_o man_n have_v be_v wont_a to_o do_v so_o or_o that_o the_o ordinary_a manner_n of_o work_v be_v thus_o and_o thus_o or_o that_o this_o be_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n god_n mighty_a power_n must_v not_o be_v shut_v up_o within_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n nor_o within_o such_o bound_n what_o then_o let_v we_o confess_v that_o his_o judgement_n be_v so_o deep_a a_o sea_n as_o we_o can_v found_v they_o and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o sure_a principle_n that_o god_n continue_v evermore_o righteous_a notwithstanding_o that_o he_o seem_v too_o deal_v crooked_o and_o overthwart_o and_o although_o we_o find_v fault_n with_o his_o do_n and_o have_v apparent_a surmise_n and_o colour_n so_o to_o do_v yet_o say_v i_o let_v we_o always_o conclude_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o lord_n thou_o be_v righteous_a according_a also_o as_o jeremy_n say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o grieve_v he_o to_o see_v the_o wicked_a have_v their_o full_a scope_n and_o the_o godly_a man_n to_o be_v utter_o tread_v under_o foot_n so_o as_o all_o thing_n be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o might_n overcome_v right_a and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o conscience_n and_o upright_o deal_n among_o man_n jeremy_n lament_v it_o and_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o again_o he_o see_v the_o wicked_a live_v unpunished_a as_o though_o god_n have_v be_v asleep_a and_o have_v think_v no_o more_o upon_o his_o charge_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a and_o cumbersome_a temptation_n that_o the_o prophet_n endure_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o know_v that_o fleshly_a wit_n can_v conceive_v god_n wonderful_a judgement_n he_o make_v a_o preface_n before_o he_o enter_v into_o his_o complaint_n and_o moan_n say_v lord_n thou_o be_v rightuons_a and_o thy_o judgement_n be_v rightful_a his_o speak_v after_o that_o manner_n be_v to_o show_v that_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o disputation_n with_o god_n and_o to_o plead_v with_o he_o as_o with_o his_o fellow_n or_o match_n or_o too_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o god_n work_v by_o reason_n or_o no._n jeremy_n abridge_v himself_o of_o that_o liberty_n and_o cut_v off_o the_o occasion_n of_o that_o which_o he_o may_v have_v conceive_v in_o his_o mind_n therefore_o before_o he_o enter_v into_o his_o matter_n he_o make_v this_o conclusion_n lord_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v and_o although_o man_n may_v surmise_v that_o thou_o do_v thing_n without_o reason_n yet_o be_v thou_o righteous_a and_o unblamable_a in_o all_o point_n and_o all_o respect_n even_o so_o must_v we_o do_v and_o not_o say_v with_o job_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o reason_n of_o god_n work_v that_o be_v very_o true_a howbeit_o it_o be_v but_o faint_o speak_v but_o we_o can_v mount_v so_o high_a nevertheless_o if_o god_n work_v after_o a_o manner_n that_o we_o can_v comprehend_v we_o must_v not_o therefore_o cease_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o he_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v here_o furthermore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n that_o we_o may_v well_o make_v large_a discourse_n but_o we_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o thereby_o true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n may_v have_v great_a quickness_n in_o their_o wit_n but_o yet_o must_v not_o the_o same_o give_v we_o occasion_n or_o overween_a as_o we_o see_v many_o do_v who_o because_o they_o have_v their_o wit_n well_o sharpen_v think_v themselves_o able_a to_o find_v out_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o cause_v they_o to_o run_v so_o astray_o that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o be_v dote_v in_o their_o own_o understanding_n that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n punish_v their_o pride_n for_o take_v toomuch_o upon_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o that_o when_o we_o have_v trudge_v up_o and_o down_o we_o shall_v be_v never_o a_o whit_n the_o near_a to_o the_o find_v out_o of_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o our_o lord_n will_v show_v we_o that_o our_o wit_n be_v too_o weak_a and_o rude_a to_o attain_v to_o such_o height_n our_o know_v therefore_o must_v be_v but_o in_o part_n and_o it_o must_v suffice_v we_o to_o taste_v in_o some_o certain_a measure_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v for_o our_o welfare_n wait_v for_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o full_o discover_v unto_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v more_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v now_o job_n add_v immediate_o according_a as_o he_o know_v my_o way_n so_o will_v he_o try_v i_o and_o i_o shall_v go_v out_o as_o gold_n hereby_o job_n betoken_v that_o god_n have_v a_o great_a

for_o i_o to_o go_v to_o law_n with_o he_o this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n that_o he_o make_v now_o this_o say_n of_o he_o be_v very_o true_a that_o god_n know_v our_o way_n and_o try_v and_o prove_v we_o as_o gold_n in_o the_o furnace_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o have_v we_o any_o cause_n to_o complain_v that_o we_o be_v not_o his_o match_n shall_v the_o creature_n check_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o too_o take_v part_n against_o his_o maker_n though_o god_n make_v we_o not_o hail_v fellow_n with_o himself_o ought_v we_o to_o say_v that_o he_o do_v we_o wrong_v or_o injury_n therefore_o whensoever_o it_o come_v to_o our_o mind_n that_o god_n know_v all_o our_o way_n and_o that_o he_o try_v we_o and_o that_o he_o purge_v and_o sift_v out_o all_o the_o sinful_a affection_n and_o superfluous_a thought_n that_o be_v in_o we_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o same_o must_v teach_v we_o lowliness_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o provoke_v we_o too_o make_v any_o complaint_n as_o job_n do_v in_o this_o text_n and_o herewithal_o we_o see_v how_o god_n intend_v to_o bridle_v we_o by_o all_o mean_n for_o our_o own_o welfare_n for_o when_o he_o try_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n come_v there_o any_o profit_n of_o it_o unto_o he_o no_o but_o he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v
must_v look_v further_a than_o to_o the_o present_a and_o visible_a thing_n then_o what_o say_v job_n here_o behold_v say_v he_o how_o man_n condemn_v themselves_o when_o they_o sin_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o condemn_v by_o god_n too_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n execute_v not_o his_o vengeance_n upon_o they_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n but_o let_v they_o

and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o that_o but_o that_o god_n reserve_v a_o great_a judgement_n to_o himself_o and_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o suffer_v thing_n too_o be_v partly_o out_o of_o

this_o be_v the_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n to_o lift_v we_o up_o withal_o but_o the_o repose_v our_o trust_n in_o god_n word_n so_o as_o we_o walk_v not_o after_o

this_o be_v it_o in_o effect_n whereat_o job_n am_z therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o seek_v the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n to_o work_v naughtiness_n in_o be_v sorry_a when_o they_o see_v the_o day_n appear_v and_o it_o be_v to_o they_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n true_a it_o be_v that_o sometime_o man_n become_v so_o shameless_a as_o they_o stick_v not_o to_o do_v evil_a at_o high_a noon_n day_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n they_o resemble_v harlot_n which_o uncover_v their_o leg_n and_o have_v neither_o shame_n nor_o

and_o that_o our_o flesh_n grow_v overlusty_a or_o else_o we_o be_v cruel_a towards_o our_o neighbour_n lo_o here_o the_o two_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v ordinary_o afflict_v we_o and_o we_o see_v

long_o as_o he_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n afflict_v man_n be_v for_o that_o he_o see_v it_o be_v for_o their_o behoof_n to_o be_v so_o correct_v furthermore_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o inconvenience_n for_o they_o that_o have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n pass_v not_o for_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o adversity_n but_o despise_v they_o and_o set_v their_o foot_n in_o their_o neck_n we_o see_v that_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v in_o reproach_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomor_n behold_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o bread_n and_o

from_o the_o feel_n of_o all_o their_o grief_n and_o adversity_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o handle_v they_o rough_o when_o their_o turn_n come_v about_o and_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o have_v have_v no_o pity_n nor_o compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n that_o they_o have_v see_v in_o their_o brethren_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o make_v they_o feel_v by_o force_n anon_o after_o that_o they_o be_v

they_o be_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o god_n ordinary_a afflict_v of_o man_n be_v either_o because_o they_o have_v be_v cruel_a in_o the_o
