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 world_n and_o make_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o life_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n which_o shall_v be_v full_o show_v upon_o we_o at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n 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 i_o be_o and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v tarry_v here_o but_o whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v thou_o to_o call_v i_o hence_o i_o make_v no_o great_a account_n of_o my_o life_n 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 keep_v neither_o measure_n nor_o modesty_n for_o he_o confess_v that_o we_o come_v too_o naught_o there_o so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v fall_v howbeit_o not_o with_o a_o deadly_a fall_n but_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 here_o in_o job_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o be_v so_o dismay_v with_o heaviness_n as_o he_o can_v no_o more_o taste_v of_o god_n goodness_n thereby_o too_o gather_v never_o so_o little_a comfort_n too_o sustain_v himself_o by_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o this_o befall_v unto_o he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o be_v earnest_n in_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o sorrow_n may_v not_o overmate_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v by_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o always_o be_v so_o underprop_a and_o stay_v up_o as_o we_o may_v fight_v against_o sorrowfulness_n and_o feel_v that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o live_v here_o according_a to_o god_n will_n and_o that_o although_o we_o have_v great_a grief_n and_o trouble_n here_o yet_o must_v we_o stand_v full_o resolve_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o too_o continue_v here_o still_o in_o this_o world_n and_o wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v in_o we_o too_o the_o end_n that_o our_o faith_n may_v be_v try_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v call_v upon_o he_o and_o profess_v he_o to_o be_v always_o our_o father_n notwithstanding_o that_o he_o scourge_v we_o and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o mean_n thereof_o we_o may_v be_v prepare_v too_o the_o heavenly_a life_n this_o taste_n of_o the_o say_v fatherly_a goodness_n must_v always_o make_v we_o desirous_a to_o go_v unto_o god_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o too_o give_v bridle_n too_o any_o one_o outrageous_a and_o beastly_a affection_n as_o we_o see_v that_o job_n have_v do_v here_o and_o by_o the_o way_n he_o show_v whence_o this_o heaviness_n come_v upon_o he_o that_o have_v so_o whole_o swallow_v he_o up_o and_o from_o whence_o also_o it_o proceed_v in_o those_o that_o be_v so_o dismay_v as_o they_o can_v not_o admit_v any_o comfort_n to_o assuage_v their_o misery_n he_o say_v to_o the_o man_n who_o way_n be_v hide_v and_o which_o god_n have_v shut_v in_o as_o if_o he_o have_v make_v the_o hedge_n round_o about_o it_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v enter_v into_o it_o this_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o job_n show_v wherein_o he_o fail_v namely_o in_o not_o yield_v himself_o enough_o to_o god_n providence_n yet_o notwithstanding_o heerewithall_o he_o discover_v a_o disease_n whereunto_o all_o of_o we_o be_v subject_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v all_o that_o must_v befall_v we_o and_o what_o our_o state_n shall_v be_v and_o all_o this_o we_o will_v have_v declare_v to_o we_o in_o so_o much_o that_o when_o we_o be_v in_o perplexity_n so_o as_o we_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o and_o that_o the_o inconvenience_n pinch_v we_o and_o we_o see_v no_o end_n of_o it_o then_o be_v we_o at_o the_o point_n of_o utter_a despair_n lo_o here_o a_o mischief_n that_o be_v overcommon_a and_o ordinary_a and_o we_o must_v mark_v it_o well_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v seek_v the_o remedy_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n what_o then_o be_v the_o inclination_n of_o man_n it_o be_v that_o they_o can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o leap_v up_o too_o the_o cloud_n too_o know_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o course_n of_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o we_o see_v how_o they_o determine_v with_o themselves_o i_o will_v do_v this_o and_o that_o solomon_n mock_v at_o the_o overween_a that_o be_v in_o m●n_z say_v that_o they_o determine_v upon_o their_o
have_v keep_v on_o their_o way_n in_o this_o rightness_n &_o soundness_n can_v never_o be_v confound_v true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o the_o worldward_n man_n may_v oppress_v they_o with_o false_a slander_n and_o man_n may_v diffame_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o they_o be_v the_o worst_a folk_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n according_a as_o we_o see_v the_o frowardness_n that_o reign_v nowadays_o so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o right_a nor_o indifferency_n remain_v we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o time_n whereof_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n complain_v namely_o that_o right_o be_v open_o oppress_v and_o uprightness_n and_o truth_n be_v chase_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o beside_o this_o say_v he_o although_o the_o mischief_n be_v increase_v and_o

have_v seem_v that_o every_o man_n have_v have_v a_o desire_n too_o augment_v the_o mischief_n behold_v at_o what_o point_n we_o be_v but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o inestimable_a privilege_n that_o we_o can_v hold_v that_o thing_n for_o good_a which_o the_o world_n hate_v and_o that_o when_o man_n point_v at_o we_o with_o their_o finger_n when_o they_o spit_v in_o our_o face_n and_o when_o they_o trample_v all_o reason_n under_o foot_n although_o we_o see_v all_o this_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v not_o abash_v so_o as_o we_o shall_v incline_v too_o any_o wickedness_n but_o do_v always_o continue_v fast_o root_v and_o ground_v in_o the_o say_a truth_n which_o be_v mighty_a enough_o to_o maintain_v we_o and_o so_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v show_v here_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o hold_v we_o always_o to_o the_o word_n of_o righteousness_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n will_v evermore_o be_v on_o our_o side_n and_o that_o his_o truth_n will_v be_v so_o mighty_a that_o in_o the_o end_n it_o will_v get_v the_o upper_a have_v true_a it_o be_v that_o forsomuchas_fw-es man_n be_v fugitive_a and_o run_v on_o so_o heady_o the_o truth_n have_v not_o always_o his_o full_a scope_n and_o it_o will_v seem_v erewhiles_o to_o be_v utter_o overthrow_v but_o let_v we_o have_v patience_n until_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v appear_v as_o say_v s._n paul_n for_o that_o be_v it_o whereunto_o he_o call_v they_o mock_v at_o the_o overween_a of_o such_o as_o judge_v so_o awk_o overthwart_o and_o confuze_o in_o charge_v he_o with_o those_o reproach_n but_o say_v he_o i_o will_v wait_v for_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n till_o god_n at_o length_n discover_v the_o false_a slander_n wherewith_o i_o have_v be_v charge_v for_o when_o that_o day_n say_v he_o begin_v to_o appear_v they_o must_v rightfulness_n come_v abroad_o then_o must_v slanderer_n be_v convict_v and_o then_o must_v all_o thing_n turn_v to_o their_o confusion_n now_o if_o god_n even_o in_o our_o whole_a life_n grant_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o all_o malicious_a person_n that_o go_v about_o to_o trample_v we_o under_o foot_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v walk_v unfeigned_o in_o truth_n much_o more_o shall_v we_o have_v that_o pre-eminence_n when_o the_o case_n concern_v faith_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_n &_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n god_n will_v give_v we_o such_o &_o so_o steadfast_a a_o constancy_n that_o when_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v bend_v all_o his_o force_n against_o we_o he_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o at_o our_o hand_n according_a also_o as_o we_o have_v a_o promise_n thereof_o whereof_o be_v it_o long_o then_o that_o we_o be_v no_o stedfaster_n now_o adays_o see_v the_o trouble_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n whereof_o come_v it_o that_o we_o see_v so_o many_o man_n give_v themselves_o too_o naughtiness_n even_o because_o they_o have_v not_o this_o say_a rightness_n and_o because_o they_o be_v not_o fence_a against_o the_o manifold_a assault_n which_o satan_n bend_v against_o they_o very_o there_o be_v some_o of_o a_o good_a mind_n if_o a_o man_n warn_v they_o they_o receive_v chastisement_n quiet_o if_o no_o man_n trouble_v they_o it_o be_v well_o they_o will_v hurt_v no_o man_n neither_o will_v they_o give_v any_o cause_n of_o offence_n but_o if_o they_o once_o see_v that_o iniquity_n have_v full_a scope_n and_o that_o if_o a_o man_n meene_z too_o live_v simple_o and_o upright_o he_o shall_v be_v prick_v on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o punch_v on_o the_o other_o then_o he_o start_v aside_o and_o bow_v with_o all_o wind_n and_o whereof_o come_v such_o inconstancy_n it_o be_v because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o rightness_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o well_o root_v in_o their_o heart_n behold_v i_o say_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o see_v so_o many_o waver_a man_n who_o be_v not_o sure_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v but_o as_o wethercocke_n that_o turn_v with_o every_o wind_n or_o as_o reed_n that_o bow_v every_o way_n and_o why_o be_v that_o even_o because_o they_o never_o know_v the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n and_o his_o truth_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o strong_a as_o the_o devil_n may_v well_o assail_v we_o and_o work_v we_o all_o the_o trouble_n that_o he_o can_v devise_v but_o yet_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v we_o shall_v hold_v our_o own_o and_o we_o shall_v abide_v steadfast_a in_o our_o state_n what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n to_o make_v we_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o his_o word_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v a_o

there_o be_v divers_a opinion_n but_o so_o must_v our_o faith_n be_v try_v and_o god_n suffer_v it_o according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o there_o must_v be_v heresy_n to_o the_o

if_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o there_o be_v many_o encounter_n and_o disputation_n it_o be_v true_a but_o be_v that_o as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o our_o faith_n must_v therefore_o be_v shake_v for_o wherein_o shall_v the_o steadfastness_n of_o this_o ryghtnesse_n show_v itself_o that_o be_v too_o say_v how_o shall_v a_o man_n know_v that_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o strong_a or_o where_o shall_v the_o power_n thereof_o show_v itself_o but_o in_o we_o like_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n word_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v always_o but_o in_o heaven_n only_o but_o that_o it_o be_v also_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a according_a as_o saint_n peter_n show_v we_o that_o although_o we_o be_v toss_v with_o many_o storm_n and_o tempest_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o shall_v our_o faith_n never_o be_v shake_v down_o so_o than_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n truth_n be_v mighty_a enough_o too_o withstand_v all_o

so_o be_v we_o desirous_a too_o profit_n well_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o the_o school_n of_o god_n then_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o too_o take_v and_o too_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v

and_o chastize_v we_o do_v we_o show_v that_o we_o can_v bake_v under_o his_o correction_n nay_o we_o will_v rather_o burn_v than_o bake_v that_o be_v too_o say_v god_n shall_v not_o win_v one_o

let_v we_o go_v &_o complain_v that_o god_n shall_v thunder_v upon_o the_o mountain_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o his_o do_n ▪_o and_o see_v if_o we_o shall_v mend_v our_o case_n by_o

that_o bay_n therefore_o somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o turn_v not_o our_o back_n unto_o god_n ne_o bury_v not_o our_o

the_o only_a grace_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n mingle_v with_o it_o according_a as_o god_n will_v excercise_n we_o for_o he_o will_v

that_o boldness_n not_o through_o our_o own_o rashness_n but_o for_o that_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o open_v his_o holy_a mouth_n too_o witness_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o which_o thing_n he_o do_v when_o his_o gospel_n be_v publish_v let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o thereupon_o and_o though_o we_o have_v never_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o encumbrance_n yea_o and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o pass_v further_o and_o to_o surmount_v they_o all_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o our_o misery_n and_o tribulation_n see_v that_o god_n love_n be_v print_v in_o our_o

when_o he_o speak_v of_o this_o peace_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v the_o gladness_n which_o in_o give_v we_o through_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o the_o same_o

of_o the_o ancient_a father_n we_o have_v afar_o better_a recompense_n which_o ought_v to_o comfort_v we_o for_o example_n let_v we_o take_v but_o only_o that_o which_o be_v say_v concern_v long_a

that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n know_v not_o yet_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o do_v that_o god_n have_v prepare_v they_o a_o heritage_n in_o heaven_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v some_o

whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o job_n and_o abraham_n that_o they_o die_v old_a

must_v needs_o be_v answerable_a to_o that_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o have_v be_v ever_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o he_o command_v man_n to_o do_v sacrifice_n unto_o he_o he_o do_v it_o not_o without_o show_v they_o the_o end_n &_o mark_v whereto_o the_o same_o tend_v for_o have_v i_o offer_v but_o the_o brute_n beast_n without_o understanding_n it_o have_v be_v of_o no_o value_n and_o it_o have_v serve_v but_o for_o a_o mockery_n but_o we_o know_v that_o god_n

how_o they_o may_v profit_v man_n to_o their_o salvation_n and_o this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v utter_o unworthy_a to_o come_v near_o he_o and_o that_o they_o have_v deserve_v death_n so_o as_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v themselves_o whole_o blameworthy_a and_o therewithal_o also_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o mean_n whereby_o to_o reconcile_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o so_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o note_v that_o such_o as_o have_v use_v sacrifice_n right_o and_o according_a to_o god_n will_v have_v grant_v themselves_o to_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o death_n in_o case_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v pass_v a_o lawful_a obligation_n or_o bond_n of_o some_o debt_n also_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o saint_n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o colossian_n of_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n term_v they_o obligation_n bond_n and_o handwriting_n which_o serve_v to_o hold_v man_n in_o bondage_n before_o

they_o have_v deserve_v so_o as_o when_o a_o brute_n beast_n be_v slay_v they_o know_v it_o be_v for_o their_o sin_n sake_n lo_o how_o god_n mind_n be_v to_o allure_v man_n to_o lowliness_n

make_v sacrifice_v by_o reason_n whereof_o all_o be_v do_v at_o adventure_n as_o they_o say_v and_o so_o be_v it_o but_o a_o needless_a labour_n special_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n hate_v and_o abhor_v all_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v make_v without_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v solemnity_n enough_o in_o they_o but_o that_o avail_v nothing_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o behove_v always_o to_o hold_v the_o rule_n which_o the_o apostl_n give_v we_o namely_o that_o the_o outward_a sacrifice_n boot_n not_o at_o all_o furtherforth_o than_o they_o be_v ground_v upon_o obedience_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o his_o word_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o job_n have_v not_o the_o law_n write_v but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v the_o doctrine_n

the_o doctrine_n by_o man_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o hold_v the_o rule_n thereof_o as_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o that_o god_n give_v they_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n without_o use_v the_o mean_a of_o prophet_n as_o he_o do_v afterward_o we_o see_v here_o then_o that_o job_n sacrifice_n be_v not_o make_v at_o all_o adventure_n but_o upon_o a_o assure_a and_o ground_a faith_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o no_o after_o the_o flood_n take_v of_o the_o clean_a beast_n to_o sacrifice_v thereby_o we_o see_v he_o have_v instruction_n from_o heaven_n for_o it_o lay_v not_o in_o he_o to_o discern_v between_o beast_n and_o beast_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v say_v among_o these_o i_o see_v some_o that_o be_v pure_a &_o clean_a and_o the_o residue_n be_v unclean_a needs_o must_v god_n have_v teach_v he_o that_o even_o so_o also_o be_v it_o with_o job_n who_o make_v not_o sacrifice_v for_o that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a deviser_n of_o it_o ▪_o but_o he_o yield_v himself_o to_o god_n will_v whereby_o he_o be_v guide_v &_o govern_v &_o that_o be_v the_o property_n of_o faith_n according_a as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o and_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n god_n have_v in_o such_o wise_a suffer_v man_n to_o go_v on_o in_o darkness_n that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v leave_v

enough_o to_o condemn_v the_o unbeliever_n furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o how_o man_n be_v whole_o give_v to_o evil_a in_o so_o much_o as_o they_o pervert_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a and_o when_o god_n have_v declare_v his_o will_n unto_o they_o they_o turn_v it_o altogether_o backward_o and_o to_o the_o flat_a contrary_n for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o we_o see_v man_n so_o fleeting_a and_o unconstant_a we_o may_v perceive_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o keep_v we_o in_o awe_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v we_o to_o step_v aside_o from_o the_o pureness_n of_o his_o
of_o a_o hand_n which_o thing_n may_v have_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a matter_n for_o he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o be_v we_o warn_v not_o too_o cease_v too_o look_v well_o to_o ourselves_o when_o

he_o do_v man_n call_v patient_a but_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o hold_v this_o for_o a_o rule_n that_o to_o be_v patient_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o moderate_v our_o sorrow_n if_o there_o be_v any_o

to_o justify_v all_o the_o work_v of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o they_o be_v judgement_n and_o rightfulness_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o god_n punish_v such_o as_o have_v offend_v and_o

their_o fleshly_a affection_n and_o to_o teach_v they_o lowliness_n what_o say_v we_o too_o these_o thing_n can_v we_o condemn_v they_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o we_o can_v not_o take_v i_o even_o the_o wicked_a man_n that_o live_v and_o demand_v of_o they_o whither_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o god_n to_o chastise_v man_n sin_n and_o transgression_n or_o whither_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o to_o humble_v those_o that_o be_v he_o too_o exercise_v the_o obedientness_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o to_o tame_v they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v learn_v to_o renounce_v the_o world_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v fain_a to_o glorify_v god_n spite_v of_o their_o tooth_n see_v then_o that_o god_n level_v at_o that_o mark_n it_o follow_v that_o all_o his_o work_n be_v just_a and_o rightful_a notwithstanding_o that_o man_n do_v cavil_n against_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a cease_v not_o to_o grunte_z and_o bark_v against_o god_n though_o they_o can_v bite_v he_o but_o yet_o must_v it_o needs_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o david_n say_v in_o the_o one_o and_o fyftith_n psalm_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v justify_v or_o find_v righteous_a in_o

nothing_o more_o than_o to_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o god_n and_o to_o cast_v forth_o word_n at_o all_o adventure_n david_n therefore_o perceive_v such_o malapertness_n and_o frowardness_n in_o the_o world_n say_v very_o well_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o creature_n pass_v their_o bound_n so_o far_o and_o with_o such_o excess_n that_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v blaspheme_v and_o put_v too_o reproach_n and_o his_o creature_n become_v as_o his_o judge_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v find_v clear_a when_o man_n have_v grudge_v their_o fill_n against_o he_o in_o the_o end_n and_o at_o the_o knit_n up_o his_o righteousness_n will_v appear_v spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n then_o let_v we_o not_o marvel_v though_o there_o be_v murmur_v against_o the_o doctrine_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v prophesy_v so_o beforehand_o as_o we_o see_v but_o let_v we_o walk_v on_o in_o singleness_n of_o mind_n and_o hold_v ourselves_o content_v with_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v to_o we_o concern_v himself_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v the_o say_a lesson_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o hold_v fast_o the_o comfort_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o and_o let_v we_o fence_v ourselves_o with_o it_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o satan_n and_o all_o the_o wicked_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n may_v lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o we_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o must_v pass_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o execute_v his_o will._n and_o that_o shall_v be_v perforce_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n but_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o because_o god_n have_v sovereign_a preeminence_n over_o all_o the_o world_n and_o as_o well_o the_o devil_n as_o the_o wicked_a sort_n be_v subject_n to_o he_o and_o can_v do_v nothing_o without_o his_o consent_n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v again_o that_o satan_n appear_v among_o the_o child_n of_o god_n before_o he_o for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o satan_n mean_v not_o too_o disguyze_v himself_o through_o hypocrisy_n that_o he_o may_v intermeddle_v himself_o among_o the_o angel_n but_o he_o be_v fain_o too_o appear_v before_o god_n to_o yield_v a_o account_n of_o his_o do_n not_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v one_o in_o some_o place_n certain_a but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o too_o apply_v itself_o too_o our_o rudeness_n because_o we_o conceive_v not_o how_o all_o thing_n be_v present_a afore_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v of_o such_o a_o power_n and_o preeminence_n as_o nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o he_o when_o this_o be_v utter_v unto_o we_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o scripture_n apply_v itself_o to_o our_o reason_n and_o that_o it_o teach_v we_o by_o such_o mean_a as_o be_v most_o convenient_a for_o we_o and_o most_o agreeable_a to_o our_o understanding_n god_n therefore_o be_v liken_v here_o to_o a_o prince_n that_o hold_v his_o assize_n or_o court_n whereunto_o all_o man_n must_v come_v before_o he_o and_o there_o be_v judge_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o upon_o a_o certain_a day_n the_o devil_n make_v his_o appearance_n with_o the_o angel_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o like_a as_o god_n send_v his_o angel_n to_o guide_v we_o &_o to_o be_v minister_n of_o our_o welfare_n so_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v his_o
hand_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o power_n to_o maintain_v we_o so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o send_v the_o devil_n to_o vex_v and_o torment_v we_o and_o he_o know_v to_o what_o

our_o faith_n be_v approve_v and_o try_v if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o glorify_v god_n and_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o conclude_v that_o all_o that_o ever_o proceed_v from_o god_n be_v rightful_a and_o just_a &_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o steadfastness_n in_o all_o his_o way_n if_o we_o be_v not_o thus_o mind_v how_o shall_v our_o faith_n be_v allow_v and_o sure_o this_o present_a story_n be_v a_o goodly_a instruction_n for_o we_o in_o that_o behalf_n for_o unless_o we_o consider_v wherefore_o god_n intend_v to_o persecute_v his_o servant_n job_n it_o will_v seem_v to_o we_o that_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o complain_v of_o he_o how_o so_o if_o god_n punish_v wicked_a folk_n it_o be_v well_o do_v yea_o and_o in_o so_o do_v we_o can_v not_o gainsay_v he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o uprightness_n and_o simplicity_n why_o do_v god_n deliver_v he_o into_o satan_n hand_n if_o a_o man_n say_v oh_o he_o do_v but_o permit_v or_o suffer_v he_o only_o if_o satan_n be_v so_o at_o his_o own_o liberty_n consider_v how_o outrageous_a he_o be_v and_o that_o we_o also_o be_v leave_v up_o too_o the_o prey_n shall_v we_o not_o of_o necessity_n be_v overwhelm_v at_o the_o first_o push_n but_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v god_n purpose_n to_o have_v the_o patience_n of_o his_o servant_n make_v know_v by_o it_o and_o although_o he_o have_v other_o reason_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n yea_o even_o all_o our_o life_n long_o yet_o must_v we_o hold_v ourselves_o short_a and_o confess_v that_o all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v good_a yea_o though_o we_o perceive_v not_o too_o what_o end_n he_o do_v it_o so_o then_o albeit_o that_o we_o see_v not_o neither_o the_o devil_n about_o we_o nor_o yet_o the_o angel_n yet_o must_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n send_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o very_o too_o maintain_v we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o too_o trouble_v we_o on_o the_o other_o and_o so_o it_o stand_v we_o always_o on_o hand_n too_o know_v that_o god_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o he_o overwhelm_v we_o a_o hundred_o time_n a_o day_n we_o be_v well_o worthy_a of_o it_o and_o yet_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o god_n have_v not_o always_o a_o respect_n unto_o that_o when_o he_o afflict_v we_o but_o that_o now_o and_o then_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o satan_n shall_v torment_v we_o so_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v victory_n against_o he_o and_o that_o our_o victory_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o honourable_a as_o his_o assail_a of_o we_o have_v be_v more_o terrible_a also_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o exercise_v we_o by_o practice_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v stand_v

that_o it_o will_v be_v our_o chance_n too_o fall_v and_o too_o stumble_v down_o at_o every_o blow_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o god_n shall_v put_v his_o hand_n under_o we_o

for_o after_o saint_n peter_n have_v threaten_v we_o in_o that_o wise_a he_o add_v withstand_v you_o steadfast_o through_o faith_n hereby_o he_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v afraid_a

much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behoove_v it_o we_o to_o bethink_v we_o of_o god_n righteousness_n a_o great_a while_n aforehand_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o he_o scourge_v we_o we_o may_v

from_o their_o moother_n womb_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o whole_a world_n must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v afore_o god_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o although_o the_o affliction_n seem_v rough_a yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n can_v not_o be_v reprove_v then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a manner_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a for_o he_o punish_v man_n according_a to_o their_o desert_n and_o too_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a for_o how_o so_o ever_o he_o handle_v man_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o keep_v our_o mouth_n shut_v and_o not_o grudge_v

that_o man_n shall_v know_v the_o particular_a judgement_n which_o he_o execute_v to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v warn_v by_o it_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v after_o the_o

it_o then_o let_v we_o tarry_v and_o be_v quiet_a and_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v favour_v the_o device_n of_o the_o wicked_a howsoever_o he_o seem_v to_o

but_o the_o popish_a doctor_n say_v that_o that_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o so_o to_o say_v be_v a_o great_a beastliness_n in_o they_o they_o hold_v opinion_n that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v provoke_v in_o

many_o sin_n or_o else_o that_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o too_o rebel_n against_o god_n and_o too_o have_v transgress_v his_o commandment_n you_o see_v then_o a_o thing_n against_o nature_n

that_o he_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n do_v take_v we_o to_o mercy_n let_v we_o understand_v then_o that_o when_o so_o ever_o our_o flesh_n tempt_v we_o unto_o evil_n although_o there_o be_v

life_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v always_o be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o this_o proverb_n which_o be_v common_a among_o the_o heathen_a or_o at_o jest_n wise_a among_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n never_o to_o be_v bear_v or_o else_o to_o die_v out_o of_o hand_n they_o that_o have_v reckon_v the_o misery_n and_o inconvenience_n whereto_o we_o be_v subject_a while_o we_o live_v here_o by_o low_a have_v thought_n how_o now_o it_o be_v better_o for_o man_n never_o to_o be_v bear_v for_o what_o else_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o their_o life_n but_o weep_v and_o wail_v the_o little_a babe_n before_o they_o have_v any_o understanding_n do_v show_v there_o be_v such_o a_o seagulfe_n of_o misery_n in_o we_o as_o it_o be_v a_o pity_n and_o terror_n to_o behold_v and_o afterward_o as_o we_o grow_v in_o year_n so_o do_v our_o misery_n increase_v in_o number_n and_o quantity_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_o for_o man_n that_o they_o may_v never_o be_v bear_v and_o if_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v bear_v it_o be_v good_a for_o they_o too_o die_v quick_o that_o they_o may_v have_v no_o long_a journey_n to_o make_v and_o this_o talk_n have_v partly_o some_o reason_n howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o without_o unthankfulness_n and_o why_o so_o for_o although_o the_o misery_n be_v innumerable_a wherewith_o man_n be_v oppress_v yet_o must_v we_o weigh_v they_o in_o the_o balance_n with_o the_o honour_n that_o god_n do_v we_o in_o make_v we_o lord_n over_o his_o creature_n to_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o here_o below_o as_o his_o child_n who_o he_o make_v to_o feel_v he_o as_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o moreover_o because_o his_o set_n of_o we_o here_o in_o this_o world_n be_v to_o advance_v we_o aloft_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o the_o heavenly_a life_n whereof_o he_o give_v we_o some_o perceiverance_n and_o feel_n afore_o hand_n if_o this_o be_v thorough_o know_v sure_o it_o overcome_v all_o the_o misery_n and_o trouble_n that_o can_v happen_v to_o man_n in_o this_o world_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o this_o sentence_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v best_o for_o man_n not_o to_o be_v bear_v at_o all_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v ground_v upon_o some_o reason_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o without_o unthankfulness_n for_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v what_o god_n give_v we_o to_o recompense_v it_o withal_o but_o so_o far_o off_o be_v job_n of_o come_v to_o that_o point_n that_o he_o have_v lever_n not_o to_o have_v be_v bear_v at_o all_o and_o why_o because_o he_o be_v so_o cumber_v his_o mind_n be_v so_o amaze_v &_o his_o heart_n be_v so_o seize_v and_o forepossess_v with_o grief_n as_o he_o can_v not_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v nevertheless_o create_v he_o after_o his_o own_o image_n that_o he_o have_v keep_v he_o in_o the_o world_n as_o one_o of_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o make_v he_o taste_v of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n whereunto_o man_n be_v allure_v job_n can_v not_o come_v to_o that_o point_n and_o why_o his_o heart_n be_v so_o close_v up_o with_o sorrow_n as_o he_o have_v none_o eye_n but_o too_o his_o misery_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v

the_o goodly_a order_n which_o we_o see_v between_o day_n &_o night_n
the_o very_a gate_n of_o life_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v pass_v the_o same_o away_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a that_o death_n shall_v have_v

but_o god_n agree_v they_o very_o well_o in_o such_o wise_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v conceive_v by_o our_o natural_a wit_n be_v put_v under_o foot_n because_o faith_n get_v the_o

to_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o to_o hope_v for_o salvation_n at_o his_o hand_n how_o so_o ever_o he_o will_v go_v but_o this_o thing_n they_o can_v not_o do_v except_o they_o hold_v he_o

leave_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o therefore_o must_v i_o call_v upon_o he_o put_v myself_o into_o his_o keep_n and_o not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v always_o be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o yea_o but_o he_o

that_o they_o must_v also_o make_v their_o moan_n and_o say_v how_o now_o and_o these_o be_v thing_n contrary_a for_o if_o we_o ought_v to_o tarry_v god_n leisure_n with_o silence_n be_v it_o meet_v

whereat_o job_n amed_z when_o he_o say_v although_o god_n kill_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o put_v my_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v reason_n with_o god_n and_o reprove_v my_o

thus_o you_o see_v what_o our_o belief_n must_v be_v if_o it_o be_v well_o rule_v and_o if_o we_o be_v once_o so_o well_o dispose_v we_o may_v say_v with_o job_n well_o very_o i_o see_v my_o body_n

therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o word_n that_o job_n use_v here_o which_o be_v that_o his_o eye_n shall_v behold_v god_n and_o none_o other_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o will_v hold_v

every_o one_o of_o we_o must_v apply_v this_o lesson_n to_o himself_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o that_o will_v say_v it_o be_v enough_o if_o every_o man_n believe_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n as_o

behold_v god_n by_o faith_n and_o let_v we_o lift_v up_o all_o our_o inward_a sense_n above_o ourselves_o thus_o then_o must_v we_o judge_v of_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v to_o say_v

this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o which_o we_o must_v remember_v now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n 〈…〉_o out_o their_o cord_n in_o his_o wrath_n true_a it_o be_v 〈…〉_o cordes_n be_v by_o some_o

vouchsafe_v not_o to_o think_v upon_o we_o behold_v the_o blasphemy_n that_o have_v reign_v at_o all_o time_n and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o man_v wit_n be_v dazzle_v when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o judge_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o which_o pass_v our_o judgement_n and_o reason_n what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o be_v arm_v against_o such_o

of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v handle_v heretofore_o that_o be_v that_o our_o mind_n be_v so_o froward_a and_o wilful_a that_o we_o turn_v god_n work_v quite_o upside_o down_o and_o can_v never_o take_v any_o profit_n by_o they_o if_o god_n hold_v such_o a_o order_n that_o assoon_o as_o a_o man_n have_v offend_v he_o shall_v be_v punish_v according_a to_o his_o offence_n and_o that_o the_o good_a shall_v live_v here_o in_o peace_n and_o rest_n what_o hope_n shall_v there_o be_v of_o the_o everlasting_a life_n for_o it_o will_v never_o be_v bring_v too_o pass_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v pluck_v from_o bylow_n then_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o peaceable_a and_o perfect_a state_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v mislike_v there_o will_v be_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o we_o will_v no_o more_o hope_n for_o the_o endless_a life_n we_o will_v imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o man_n may_v perceive_v god_n judgement_n according_a to_o their_o own_o desire_n they_o will_v fall_v asleep_a here_o by_o low_a and_o be_v fast_o tie_v to_o this_o world_n but_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o thing_n shall_v be_v out_o of_o order_n to_o the_o end_n to_o wake_v we_o for_o if_o we_o may_v live_v at_o ease_n we_o will_v fall_v asleep_a and_o we_o shall_v have_v neither_o understanding_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o

notwithstanding_o man_n cease_v not_o too_o entangle_v themselves_o with_o many_o false_a and_o wicked_a imagination_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o because_o thing_n fall_v not_o out_o as_o we_o will_v have_v they_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o surmise_v that_o god_n think_v not_o upon_o we_o ne_o regard_v we_o any_o more_o that_o it_o be_v but_o time_n lose_v too_o serve_v he_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o too_o live_v well_o or_o ill_a and_o that_o good_a man_n gain_v nothing_o by_o walk_v in_o fear_n under_o he_o lo_o how_o man_n rush_v out_o into_o all_o ungodliness_n because_o our_o lord_n rule_v not_o his_o judgement_n as_o their_o appetite_n may_v brook_v they_o and_o according_a to_o their_o reason_n and_o fancy_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o too_o distrust_v

behold_v the_o mark_n whereat_o we_o must_v shoot_v if_o we_o mind_v to_o gather_v good_a and_o profitable_a instruction_n of_o this_o sentence_n but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o if_o

compare_v the_o state_n of_o job_n time_n with_o the_o state_n of_o we_o there_o be_v then_o much_o more_o soundness_n than_o there_o be_v now_o for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o world_n grow_v worse_a

so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v in_o we_o because_o weefeede_v it_o therefore_o when_o a_o man_n fall_v too_o flatter_v of_o the_o wicked_a and_o help_v too_o set_v they_o in_o a_o further_a lustiness_n

that_o god_n suffer_v not_o thing_n to_o run_v too_o havoc_n nor_o hold_v with_o the_o wicked_a although_o he_o spare_v they_o and_o forbear_v to_o punish_v they_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o be_v they_o

consequent_o say_v that_o fearfulness_n shall_v overtake_v the_o wicked_a man_n as_o a_o rage_n of_o water_n he_o speak_v here_o of_o water_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v as_o a_o sudden_a

respect_n i_o utter_o despise_v and_o defy_v the_o whole_a world_n let_v i_o have_v a_o strong_a party_n to_o put_v in_o accusation_n against_o i_o yea_o and_o let_v he_o make_v a_o great_a book_n of_o it_o it_o shall_v not_o grieve_v i_o to_o carry_v it_o upon_o my_o shoulder_n for_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o heavy_a burden_n to_o i_o but_o rather_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o crown_n to_o i_o and_o a_o ornament_n to_o deck_v i_o withal_o now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o job_n mean_v to_o say_v namely_o that_o he_o have_v be_v no_o such_o man_n as_o he_o be_v repute_v and_o take_v to_o be_v

that_o god_n will_v pronounce_v sentence_n as_o by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a process_n and_o not_o by_o prerogative_n of_o his_o high_a and_o secret_a power_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o know_v why_o

the_o world_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n job_n have_v his_o mouth_n shut_v so_o as_o he_o wist_v not_o what_o to_o say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o not_o to_o inquire_v any_o other_o cause_n

that_o we_o shall_v stoop_v to_o he_o although_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v not_o apparent_a unto_o we_o then_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n and_o we_o

that_o although_o his_o judgement_n be_v a_o bottomless_a deep_a yet_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v just_a and_o rightful_a thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v for_o in_o good_a

then_o if_o we_o fall_v too_o provoke_v of_o he_o and_o desire_v too_o go_v too_o law_n with_o he_o be_v not_o to_o our_o great_a confusion_n and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v

that_o must_v not_o be_v do_v to_o any_o other_o end_n than_o too_o profit_n ourselves_o by_o his_o correction_n and_o to_o apply_v our_o chastisement_n to_o our_o instruction_n when_o we_o know_v

of_o his_o word_n but_o which_o worse_o be_v it_o be_v folly_n too_o they_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v for_o to_o their_o seem_n it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a doctrine_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o only_a spirit_n of_o god_n that_o give_v we_o faith_n and_o enlighten_v we_o and_o this_o aught_o too_o be_v well_o mark_v for_o when_o we_o see_v there_o be_v so_o few_o that_o know_v god_n yea_o and_o that_o many_o man_n which_o be_v well_o strike_v in_o year_n and_o have_v live_v long_a time_n in_o the_o world_n be_v stark_o mad_a in_o their_o superstition_n and_o fight_v feerce_o

such_o stumble_a block_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o dwell_v in_o man_n it_o be_v the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o almighty_a that_o give_v understanding_n do_v we_o see_v wretched_a man_n blind_v &_o so_o plunge_v in_o ignorance_n as_o they_o can_v come_v to_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o not_o marvel_v at_o it_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v man_n natural_a kind_n not_o to_o

see_v a_o old_a man_n that_o have_v be_v sape_v a_o long_a while_n in_o the_o dotage_n of_o papistry_n come_v too_o right_a religion_n let_v we_o assure_v our_o self_n that_o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o miracle_n in_o that_o case_n also_o if_o we_o see_v young_a folk_n come_v to_o it_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n draw_v they_o to_o he_o after_o a_o marvelous_a fashion_n for_o they_o do_v not_o easy_o receive_v the_o yoke_n because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o presumption_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o then_o if_o god_n tame_v they_o and_o make_v they_o teachable_a it_o be_v his_o mighty_a hand_n that_o have_v bring_v they_o unto_o it_o and_o so_o we_o se_fw-mi that_o this_o text_n ought_v to_o serve_v we_o in_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o see_v that_o by_o our_o wit_n can_v never_o reach_v so_o high_a as_o to_o know_v god_n or_o his_o truth_n we_o ought_v to_o put_v our_o own_o reason_n from_o we_o and_o to_o renounce_v it_o utter_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n term_v too_o be_v make_v a_o fool_n then_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o lord_n to_o fill_v we_o with_o his_o wisdom_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o become_v fool_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v not_o bring_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o nor_o ween_v ourselves_o to_o have_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o for_o that_o be_v a_o shet_n of_o the_o door_n against_o god_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o continue_v the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v give_v we_o any_o portion_n of_o it_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o exalt_v and_o magnify_v he_o as_o he_o deserve_v and_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a understanding_n in_o we_o till_o god_n have_v put_v it_o into_o we_o and_o again_o the_o same_o must_v cause_v we_o to_o persist_v always_o in_o his_o obedience_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o great_a fear_n and_o carefulness_n see_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v quench_v the_o light_n that_o he_o have_v put_v into_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o darkness_n yea_o and_o in_o so_o horrible_a darkness_n as_o we_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o place_n the_o second_o be_v that_o although_o we_o see_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n go_v astray_v and_o scarce_o any_o man_n willing_a too_o submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o order_n as_o too_o play_v the_o wild_a beast_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o give_v understanding_n wherefore_o let_v the_o same_o be_v a_o ground_n for_o we_o to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n the_o more_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o not_o be_v carry_v away_o though_o we_o see_v such_o rebelliousness_n and_o why_o for_o man_n do_v but_o follow_v their_o own_o kind_n they_o follow_v their_o own_o head_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n resist_v god_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n surmount_v all_o man_n reason_n and_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o work_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o open_v

for_o without_o that_o we_o be_v in_o curse_a case_n and_o undoubted_o although_o we_o have_v all_o the_o good_n of_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v sure_a to_o enjoy_v they_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n except_o god_n maintain_v we_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o they_o moreover_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n may_v continue_v in_o ease_n and_o pleasure_v all_o the_o

of_o god_n we_o see_v then_o that_o if_o we_o can_v call_v upon_o god_n with_o such_o certainty_n that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o and_o accept_v our_o prayer_n it_o be_v pity_n of_o our_o life_n

&_o to_o amend_v they_o mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n namely_o that_o god_n execute_v not_o his_o judgement_n at_o the_o first_o day_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v with_o our_o eye_n that_o he_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o in_o good_a faith_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v sin_n forthwith_o as_o they_o deserve_v we_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o other_o day_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n concern_v our_o rise_n again_o and_o our_o come_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v short_a there_o shall_v be_v neither_o reward_n for_o the_o good_a nor_o fear_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o rebellious_a and_o this_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v purposely_o say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n will_v render_v recompense_n or_o requite_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n say_v not_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v from_o day_n too_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v recompense_v and_o when_o at_o the_o last_o day_n elius_n say_v be_v not_o against_o this_o sentence_n but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v render_v he_o presuppose_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a namely_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v our_o mind_n at_o a_o stay_n until_o god_n show_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o for_o a_o time_n our_o faith_n i_o say_v must_v be_v exercise_v in_o wait_v patient_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o perceive_v not_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o that_o god_n give_v we_o some_o token_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o show_v we_o some_o notable_a example_n whereby_o we_o be_v enforce_v to_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o man_n to_o punish_v their_o offence_n if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o record_n of_o it_o let_v we_o be_v content_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v patient_a until_o we_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o as_o now_o reserve_v to_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v take_v this_o sentence_n to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o use_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n but_o that_o he_o also_o bear_v with_o they_o who_o he_o punish_v and_o show_v they_o some_o favour_n although_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o be_v rigorous_a too_o they_o and_o make_v they_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v their_o judge_n howbeit_o that_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o world_n god_n pass_v not_o to_o punish_v our_o sin_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o do_v deserve_v for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o send_v we_o disease_n want_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o he_o shall_v thunder_v upon_o we_o and_o overwhelm_v we_o at_o the_o first_o blow_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o feel_v some_o terrible_a punishment_n but_o he_o shall_v arm_v himself_o in_o his_o mighty_a majesty_n to_o confound_v and_o overwhelm_v we_o for_o what_o be_v our_o sin_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n punish_v not_o sinner_n out_o of_o hand_n and_o make_v they_o too_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n in_o full_a measure_n as_o they_o have_v deserve_v it_o but_o bear_v with_o they_o so_o that_o all_o the_o chastisement_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o world_n be_v but_o god_n warning_n in_o give_v leisure_n to_o repent_v not_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v profit_v all_o man_n â–ª_o for_o the_o

ready_a to_o be_v execute_v whensoever_o he_o will._n how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v if_o we_o consider_v well_o the_o chastizement_n that_o god_n show_v we_o in_o this_o world_n all_o of_o they_o be_v nothing_o comparable_a unto_o our_o sin_n but_o he_o give_v we_o respite_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v think_v upon_o they_o thus_o see_v you_o yet_o one_o other_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text._n and_o the_o third_o be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o way_n but_o that_o he_o reserve_v power_n to_o himself_o to_o pardon_v those_o who_o he_o list_v when_o he_o intend_v to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o himself_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v his_o choose_a and_o why_o for_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n and_o too_o be_v at_o one_o with_o they_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o bury_v their_o sin_n so_o as_o he_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n god_n then_o have_v liberty_n to_o put_v away_o our_o offence_n without_o punish_v they_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n and_o why_o for_o when_o god_n list_v to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n how_o deal_v he_o he_o nourish_v not_o the_o evil_a in_o we_o but_o he_o touch_v we_o with_o it_o and_o show_v we_o it_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v how_o sore_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o afterward_o give_v we_o a_o mind_n to_o be_v sorry_a &_o to_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n when_o we_o be_v so_o touch_v with_o repentance_n we_o become_v judge_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n and_o condemn_v they_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n have_v execute_v his_o office_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o when_o a_o man_n condemn_v himself_o than_o if_o he_o be_v condemn_v of_o god_n and_o gnash_v his_o tooth_n and_o abide_v still_o unamendable_a and_o stubborn_a in_o his_o wickedness_n therefore_o god_n forget_v not_o his_o office_n when_o he_o draw_v we_o too_o repentance_n for_o he_o pardon_v not_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o cocker_v we_o but_o contrariwise_o too_o the_o intent_n to_o double_v his_o righteousness_n so_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o may_v feel_v the_o evil_a that_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o may_v make_v his_o mercy_n shine_v upon_o we_o too_o discover_v the_o misery_n wherein_o we_o be_v till_o he_o have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n forgive_a of_o the_o offence_n of_o his_o choose_a be_v no_o derogation_n at_o all_o to_o his_o justice_n that_o this_o say_n shall_v not_o be_v always_o true_a that_o he_o recompense_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o make_v they_o find_v according_a to_o their_o way_n now_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o righteousness_n it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o be_v persuade_v in_o our_o affliction_n that_o we_o suffer_v not_o any_o thing_n wrongful_o but_o that_o god_n have_v reason_n too_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o

have_v always_o cause_n too_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v exceed_o bind_v unto_o he_o for_o that_o he_o use_v no_o extreme_a rigour_n against_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v final_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o although_o he_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o vengeance_n yet_o he_o spare_v we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o show_v himself_o rough_a and_o sharp_a yet_o do_v he_o intermeddle_v his_o goodness_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v always_o righteous_a insomuch_o that_o man_n shall_v gain_v nothing_o when_o they_o think_v to_o quit_v themselves_o but_o the_o best_a for_o we_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n call_v we_o and_o allure_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o we_o fall_v to_o feel_n of_o our_o offence_n before_o the_o blow_n come_v and_o be_v sorry_a

much_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a to_o obey_v he_o and_o continue_v quiet_a without_o murmur_v against_o his_o will._n therefore_o eliu_n add_v now_o that_o there_o they_o shall_v cry_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v very_o well_o it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n shall_v cry_v unto_o god_n when_o they_o be_v trouble_v but_o in_o what_o

receive_v at_o his_o hand_n neither_o do_v they_o profit_v themselves_o by_o they_o to_o settle_v their_o trust_n upon_o he_o so_o then_o man_n shall_v cry_v out_o for_o anguish_n but_o they_o shall_v not_o come_v at_o god_n there_o be_v no_o openness_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o if_o god_n hear_v they_o not_o we_o must_v blame_v their_o own_o sin_n for_o it_o and_o not_o say_v that_o god_n have_v forget_v the_o world_n and_o do_v not_o his_o duty_n or_o that_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v asleep_a therefore_o when_o man_n seek_v god_n in_o truth_n he_o be_v near_o they_o and_o his_o hand_n will_v soon_o show_v itself_o to_o succour_v they_o but_o so_o long_o as_o they_o howl_v like_o wild_a beast_n and_o look_v not_o right_a forth_o to_o the_o mark_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o aim_v at_o their_o cry_n shall_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o at_o this_o day_n god_n will_v not_o hear_v we_o at_o leastwise_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o help_n though_o we_o storm_v never_o somuch_o in_o cry_v if_o we_o stand_v not_o upon_o a_o sure_a ground_n and_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v to_o know_v he_o for_o such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o show_v himself_o namely_o a_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n even_o by_o call_v too_o remembrance_n the_o record_n which_o we_o have_v erst_o feel_v thereof_o to_o the_o end_n the_o

only_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o misery_n must_v make_v we_o too_o desire_v remedy_n of_o they_o but_o also_o we_o must_v through_o faith_n desire_v he_o to_o show_v himself_o our_o father_n and_o

that_o eliu_n have_v say_v so_o he_o add_v that_o such_o as_o take_v not_o hold_v of_o god_n providence_n say_v tush_o all_o this_o be_v but_o vanity_n god_n hear_v not_o neither_o do_v the_o almighty_a regard_n this_o objection_n be_v make_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n for_o although_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o that_o god_n do_v just_o leave_v man_n welter_v in_o their_o own_o wretchedness_n because_o they_o come_v not_o to_o he_o with_o faith_n and_o obedience_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o can_v conceive_v the_o reason_n but_o imagine_v foolish_o that_o god_n

with_o a_o brutish_a and_o sudden_a conceit_n catch_v hold_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v to_o their_o eye_n without_o further_a discern_a as_o though_o we_o be_v loath_a to_o consider_v

not_o a_o shet_n of_o our_o eye_n against_o the_o light_n even_o as_o much_o do_v the_o unbeliever_n they_o see_v that_o god_n hear_v not_o those_o that_o cry_n and_o thereupon_o they_o fall_v to_o

account_n before_o he_o and_o that_o although_o they_o be_v hide_v at_o this_o day_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o perceive_v at_o the_o first_o yet_o we_o shall_v be_v nevertheless_o guilty_a when_o we_o come_v thither_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o practice_v this_o lesson_n that_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n turn_v not_o away_o his_o eye_n from_o the_o righteous_a no●_n quicken_v the_o wicked_a and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o not_o always_o nor_o all_o after_o one_o rate_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o but_o yet_o god_n give_v we_o sufficient_a proof_n too_o conclude_v that_o he_o watch_v over_o the_o godly_a too_o the_o end_n too_o maintain_v they_o and_o that_o he_o keep_v they_o in_o his_o protection_n pity_v they_o and_o deliver_v they_o from_o all_o danger_n i_o say_v we_o see_v such_o example_n hereof_o as_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v this_o matter_n full_o settle_v and_o conclude_v in_o we_o furthermore_o we_o see_v also_o that_o god_n lift_v up_o his_o mighty_a hand_n too_o repress_v man_n iniquity_n howbeit_o not_o always_o for_o ▪_o he_o leave_v many_o of_o they_o unpunished_a wink_v at_o they_o yea_o and_o make_v countenance_n as_o though_o he_o favour_v the_o wicked_a in_o many_o caces_fw-la but_o i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o the_o same_o must_v confirm_v our_o faith_n and_o that_o we_o must_v be_v fence_v against_o such_o stumble_a block_n by_o know_v that_o god_n reserve_v those_o thing_n till_o the_o latter_a day_n which_o he_o accomplish_v not_o as_o now_o but_o howesoever_o the_o world_n go_v we_o see_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n punish_v such_o offence_n he_o hate_v and_o abhor_v sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o judge_v thereupon_o ▪_o that_o he_o quicken_v not_o the_o wicked_a but_o as_o this_o doctrine_n be_v set_v down_o here_o too_o teach_v we_o too_o glorify_v god_n in_o all_o respect_n so_o also_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o must_v edify_v our_o faith_n and_o teach_v we_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n do_v we_o then_o see_v that_o god_n turn_v not_o away_o his_o eye_n from_o the_o godly_a but_o have_v pity_n upon_o they_o too_o help_v they_o let_v we_o be_v establish_v in_o trust_n of_o his_o goodness_n that_o we_o may_v resort_v unto_o he_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v afflict_v have_v we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v deliver_v any_o man_n or_o that_o he_o have_v deliver_v ourselves_o let_v the_o same_o make_v we_o too_o return_v too_o he_o and_o say_v how_o now_o my_o god_n have_v make_v i_o too_o feel_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o be_v ready_a too_o help_v all_o such_o as_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o the_o scripture_n say_v unto_o we_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o labour_n and_o be_v heavy_a load_v and_o i_o will_v refresh_v you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o record_n which_o god_n give_v we_o witness_v that_o he_o will_v not_o turn_v away_o his_o eye_n from_o the_o godly_a must_v confirm_v we_o in_o the_o promise_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o he_o give_v we_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n quicken_v not_o the_o wicked_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o take_v the_o use_n of_o it_o do_v we_o see_v any_o crime_n punish_v let_v it_o provoke_v we_o too_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o dally_v in_o this_o case_n with_o god_n why_o so_o for_o he_o chasten_v such_o a_o one_o too_o the_o intent_n too_o instruct_v we_o by_o his_o harm_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a favour_n that_o god_n show_v we_o when_o he_o give_v we_o such_o example_n of_o his_o rigour_n and_o wrath_n as_o we_o nevertheless_o without_o be_v touch_v may_v take_v warning_n too_o eschew_v his_o vengeance_n which_o be_v ready_a for_o we_o and_o which_o he_o may_v have_v make_v we_o too_o feel_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o all_o the_o example_n of_o the_o chastisement_n and_o correction_n which_o god_n do_v in_o this_o world_n ought_v too_o serve_v too_o our_o learning_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v well_o say_v god_n be_v righteous_a and_o such_o a_o one_o have_v his_o due_a reward_n we_o can_v skill_n to_o condemn_v such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o too_o allow_v the_o correction_n that_o god_n send_v they_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n we_o apply_v not_o the_o thing_n too_o our_o own_o use_n and_o yet_o be_v that_o the_o principal_a point_n when_o i_o see_v that_o god_n punish_v a_o man_n i_o must_v enter_v into_o myself_o and_o look_v if_o i_o be_v not_o attaint_v with_o the_o same_o vice_n or_o whether_o i_o be_v not_o as_o guilty_a in_o some_o other_o respect_n and_o thereupon_o i_o must_v humble_v myself_o and_o walk_v more_o advise_o than_o i_o have_v erst_o do_v furthermore_o we_o have_v yet_o one_o other_o fruit_n too_o be_v take_v of_o the_o chastisement_n that_o god_n send_v therein_o we_o see_v also_o that_o god_n have_v care_n of_o his_o child_n if_o god_n beat_v down_o those_o that_o have_v trouble_v one_o and_o wrong_v another_o why_o do_v he_o it_o but_o too_o take_v our_o quarrel_n in_o hand_n so_o then_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v the_o better_o mind_v to_o serve_v god_n when_o we_o see_v he_o set_v himself_o against_o our_o enemy_n and_o thunder_n upon_o they_o after_o he_o have_v suffer_v they_o to_o have_v their_o scope_n for_o a_o time_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v the_o more_o confirm_v to_o lean_v unto_o his_o promise_n by_o faith_n without_o doubt_v that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o therewithal_o we_o must_v be_v hold_v in_o his_o fear_n that_o we_o may_v prevent_v all_o the_o vengeance_n which_o we_o see_v to_o light_v upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o upon_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o majesty_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o too_o make_v we_o feel_v they_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o yea_o and_o too_o be_v angry_a and_o grieve_a at_o our_o vice_n and_o sinful_a lust_n so_o as_o we_o may_v seek_v earnest_o too_o have_v his_o righteousness_n reign_v in_o we_o and_o too_o be_v reform_v too_o his_o holy_a will_n and_o that_o moreover_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v too_o fight_v against_o the_o temptation_n of_o this_o

shall_v come_v far_o short_a of_o that_o then_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o cry_v out_o with_o wonderment_n lord_n how_o marvellous_a be_v thy_o work_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o

that_o happen_v chief_o in_o the_o desert_n country_n and_o in_o the_o hot_a land_n where_o there_o be_v great_a store_n of_o wild_a beast_n and_o when_o it_o come_v so_o to_o pass_v god_n warn_v we_o

upon_o the_o read_n of_o this_o text_n let_v we_o remember_v also_o how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o four_o and_o thirtith_a psalm_n that_o although_o the_o lion_n be_v so_o strong_a and_o seek_v

that_o god_n will_v forsake_v we_o if_o we_o flee_v unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n see_v he_o feed_v the_o wild_a beast_n and_o give_v food_n to_o the_o raven_n as_o shall_v be_v say_v anon_o so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o this_o serve_v we_o to_o double_a use_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v hold_v of_o god_n wonderful_a goodness_n in_o that_o he_o provide_v food_n for_o the_o lion_n and_o all_o

that_o he_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o feed_v we_o because_o we_o be_v his_o child_n and_o that_o see_v he_o command_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v deal_v we_o our_o

all_o mark_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o word_n cry_n the_o raven_n bird_n do_v cry_v unto_o god._n why_o so_o not_o for_o that_o they_o cry_v in_o faith_n or_o understanding_n not_o for_o that_o they_o pray_v as_o man_n be_v teach_v to_o do_v but_o for_o that_o they_o cry_v for_o want_v of_o mean_n to_o help_v themselves_o behold_v then_o the_o raven_n bird_n be_v a_o hunger_a their_o dam_n fly_v abroad_o to_o seek_v their_o prey_n and_o sometime_o they_o find_v none_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n their_o young_a one_o be_v half_o starve_v and_o no_o body_n provide_v for_o they_o now_o be_v god_n fain_o to_o put_v to_o his_o help_a hand_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o give_v they_o worm_n to_o job_n at_o or_o by_o some_o other_o secret_a mean_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o young_a raven_n do_v cry_v unto_o god_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o other_o beast_n namely_o that_o when_o they_o be_v helpless_a they_o resort_v unto_o god_n not_o that_o they_o do_v it_o of_o any_o understanding_n but_o the_o case_n be_v such_o as_o they_o may_v well_o wander_v in_o the_o world_n &_o be_v still_o destitute_a of_o all_o succour_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o shift_n but_o that_o god_n must_v reach_v out_o his_o hand_n and_o of_o his_o goodness_n give_v they_o the_o thing_n they_o have_v need_n of_o but_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o foresay_a comparison_n between_o ourselves_o and_o the_o brute_n beast_n for_o see_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o bountiful_a when_o the_o beast_n be_v destitute_a of_o natural_a mean_n to_o help_v themselves_o and_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o repair_v unto_o he_o what_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v for_o although_o we_o have_v abundance_n even_o till_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o parbreak_n our_o good_n up_o again_o yet_o must_v we_o always_o understand_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n own_o hand_n and_o if_o we_o happen_v to_o suffer_v penury_n and_o want_n we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o provoke_v to_o repair_v unto_o he_o therefore_o man_n must_v not_o shrink_v back_o nor_o chafe_v upon_o the_o bridle_n when_o they_o find_v themselves_o destitute_a of_o help_n what_o must_v they_o do_v then_o let_v they_o think_v thus_o with_o themselves_o behold_v god_n call_v we_o to_o he_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n he_o declare_v and_o protest_v that_o his_o mind_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n to_o provoke_v the_o beast_n to_o repair_v unto_o he_o and_o therein_o also_o to_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o sovereign_a governor_n for_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v leave_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o all_o shall_v lie_v waist_n how_o much_o more_o than_o ought_v i_o to_o repair_v unto_o he_o now_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whensoever_o we_o want_v provision_n so_o as_o we_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v or_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v we_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v his_o charge_n to_o give_v we_o whatsoever_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o &_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n he_o will_v have_v our_o whole_a trust_n settle_v in_o he_o and_o when_o we_o have_v such_o belief_n and_o inward_a feel_n prayer_n and_o supplication_n must_v be_v match_v with_o it_o out_o of_o hand_n for_o whosoever_o brag_v that_o he_o wait_v for_o his_o sustenance_n and_o food_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o for_o it_o do_v he_o not_o show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o hypocrisy_n &_o lease_v in_o he_o therefore_o faith_n must_v stir_v we_o up_o &_o drive_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v confess_v he_o to_o be_v our_o fosterfather_n and_o receive_v our_o food_n as_o it_o be_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o upon_o the_o receipt_n thereof_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v nourish_v by_o his_o mere_a goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v yet_o to_o a_o high_a comparison_n which_o be_v that_o sith_o we_o understand_v that_o god_n feed_v our_o body_n after_o that_o sort_n it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v also_o seek_v the_o

no_o countenance_n that_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o help_v they_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o their_o cry_n be_v in_o vain_a and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o lose_a time_n for_o man_n too_o resort_v unto_o god_n when_o man_n see_v this_o what_o shall_v they_o say_v but_o that_o god_n work_v not_o after_o our_o manner_n and_o that_o all_o our_o wit_n must_v needs_o be_v dazzle_v at_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o honour_v the_o wisdom_n which_o we_o can_v comprehend_v and_o to_o say_v lord_n it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o flesh_n and_o our_o nature_n provoke_v we_o to_o grudge_v against_o thou_o but_o yet_o must_v not_o we_o rule_v thou_o after_o our_o appetite_n wherefore_o we_o will_v wait_v patient_o till_o thine_o hour_n come_v and_o then_o will_v thou_o work_v as_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v profitable_a and_o expedient_a this_o lesson_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o we_o see_v how_o hasty_a we_o be_v and_o beside_o that_o if_o a_o man_n do_v but_o touch_v we_o with_o his_o finger_n we_o be_v so_o wayward_a as_o there_o be_v no_o call_n upon_o god_n with_o we_o if_o he_o help_v we_o not_o out_o of_o hand_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v but_o cast_v forth_o some_o sigh_n we_o think_v he_o do_v we_o great_a wrong_n see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v such_o heartburning_n in_o we_o and_o that_o our_o passion_n be_v so_o excessive_a we_o have_v so_o much_o more_o need_n to_o mark_v well_o this_o lesson_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n cry_v from_o out_o of_o the_o city_n yea_o even_o they_o that_o be_v already_o at_o the_o point_n of_o

we_o must_v understand_v how_o our_o lord_n have_v threaten_v that_o such_o as_o have_v not_o pity_v their_o neighbour_n shall_v cry_v and_o not_o be_v hear_v themselves_o for_o he_o say_v the_o

so_o as_o they_o may_v sob_v &_o sigh_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v succour_v so_o than_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o cry_n go_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o that_o the_o party_n which_o cry_v be_v put_v too_o extreme_a pain_n let_v we_o consider_v a_o little_a whither_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v so_o handle_v and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n be_v a_o

so_o grieve_v and_o oppress_v have_v always_o be_v gentle_a and_o love_a and_o not_o do_v any_o such_o wrong_n or_o injury_n too_o their_o neighbour_n as_o may_v be_v worthy_a of_o such_o punishment_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o be_v know_v of_o then_o let_v we_o reverence_v the_o wonderful_a secret_n of_o god_n sith_o it_o be_v not_o his_o will_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v so_o behold_v i_o say_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o practice_v this_o sentence_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v afflict_v and_o cry_v unto_o god_n and_o yet_o can_v perceive_v no_o willingness_n in_o he_o too_o helhe_v we_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o he_o have_v forget_v we_o neither_o let_v we_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n why_o for_o his_o providence_n pass_v our_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o hold_v ourselves_o quiet_a even_o when_o we_o see_v the_o grave_n afore_o we_o and_o have_v cry_v and_o beseech_v god_n to_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o yea_o and_o

and_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v of_o our_o hope_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o mount_v above_o all_o man_n understanding_n and_o this_o be_v it_o also_o why_o s._n

in_o their_o conscience_n i_o have_v sin_v and_o wot_v not_o how_o to_o excuse_v my_o fault_n then_o sith_o we_o see_v it_o must_v we_o not_o conclude_v that_o god_n judge_v the_o world_n for_o that_o

think_v we_o that_o he_o must_v not_o one_o day_n call_v man_n before_o he_o and_o take_v a_o reckon_v of_o all_o thing_n and_o lay_v open_a his_o register_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o daniel_n and_o

he_o much_o more_o power_n than_o our_o conscience_n can_v have_v so_o than_o if_o a_o man_n condemn_v himself_o for_o one_o sin_n he_o must_v conclude_v that_o he_o be_v damnable_a before_o god_n for_o a_o hundred_o if_o he_o find_v himself_o astonish_v and_o afraid_a at_o his_o evil_n do_v how_o shall_v he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v out_o god_n horrible_a vengeance_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o if_o we_o continue_v wilful_o in_o our_o sin_n behold_v here_o a_o lesson_n which_o of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o necessary_a and_o lest_o put_v in_o ure_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v
