we_o may_v work_v the_o work_n of_o god_n i_o refer_v they_o to_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n for_o their_o answer_n concern_v which_o i_o only_o desire_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v search_v which_o do_v abundant_o witness_v thereunto_o to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o it_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o it_o but_o if_o it_o appear_v as_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v to_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n i_o hope_v none_o will_v quarrel_v with_o it_o lest_o they_o be_v find_v fighter_n against_o god_n and_o why_o shall_v we_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o jealousy_n unless_o we_o be_v strong_a than_o he_o solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o of_o make_v and_o read_v many_o book_n there_o be_v no_o end_n and_o when_o we_o have_v read_v if_o at_o least_o we_o can_v read_v all_o that_o be_v make_v this_o will_v be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n fear_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o

it_o be_v oppose_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n under_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v but_o vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n and_o very_o we_o may_v as_o well_o find_v ease_n in_o hell_n as_o find_v happiness_n any_o other_o way_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v however_o we_o judge_v now_o when_o as_o he_o say_v god_n shall_v bring_v every_o work_n into_o judgement_n with_o every_o secret_a thing_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v evil_a how_o much_o then_o do_v it_o concern_v we_o to_o look_v about_o we_o and_o to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v here_o lest_o then_o we_o fear_v and_o tremble_v because_o we_o have_v not_o do_v it_o know_v therefore_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o persuade_v man_n as_o they_o love_v their_o salvation_n and_o as_o they_o will_v answer_v it_o at_o the_o great_a and_o terrible_a day_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o abstain_v from_o fleshly_a lust_n which_o war_n against_o their_o soul_n that_o they_o lean_v not_o to_o their_o own_o understanding_n nor_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o desire_n of_o their_o eye_n but_o that_o they_o consider_v to_o know_v and_o do_v what_o be_v the_o good_a and_o acceptable_a will_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v find_v without_o blame_n and_o that_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v you_o may_v have_v confidence_n and_o not_o be_v ashamed_a before_o he_o at_o his_o come_n watch_z therefore_o for_o you_o know_v not_o what_o hour_n your_o lord_n do_v come_v but_o if_o any_o servant_n
