it_o be_v that_o a_o work_n shall_v not_o please_v god_n and_o yet_o tend_v to_o his_o glory_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o very_a well_o agree_v neither_o be_v there_o here_o any_o contrariety_n which_o easy_o can_v be_v accord_v for_o god_n after_o a_o accidental_a manner_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v apply_v those_o thing_n to_o his_o glory_n which_o of_o themselves_o i_o say_v of_o

it_o have_v be_v corrupt_v in_o the_o papacy_n therefore_o baptism_n the_o very_a name_n aswell_o of_o christ_n as_o of_o the_o church_n finaly_n a_o certain_a form_n of_o godliness_n all_o these_o of_o themselves_o be_v unprofitable_a altogether_o but_o yet_o after_o a_o accident_n all_o sort_n be_v of_o force_n even_o as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o if_o we_o consider_v aswell_o the_o sacrificer_n as_o also_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o do_v nothing_o but_o paruert_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n when_o as_o rash_o and_o like_o a_o hodgepodge_n they_o

that_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n he_o can_v not_o unfold_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o same_o as_o touch_v the_o word_n itself_o asaph_n in_o the_o hebrew_n signify_v to_o cover_v it_o also_o signify_v

or_o else_o that_o he_o be_v so_o perplex_v that_o he_o can_v not_o but_o with_o a_o violent_a contention_n mount_v up_o unto_o god_n what_o so_o it_o be_v he_o will_v by_o this_o word_n express_v

even_o to_o the_o faint_a of_o the_o soul_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o gather_v again_o that_o he_o never_o be_v so_o oppress_v with_o

and_o his_o former_a life_n he_o as_o yet_o have_v not_o learned_a what_o it_o be_v so_o serve_v god_n because_o we_o must_v always_o wâ—â—re_v against_o and_o wage_v battle_n with_o the_o flesh_n but_o see_v that_o the_o meditation_n of_o repentance_n be_v daily_a yet_o be_v not_o fast_v always_o reqire_v of_o we_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o fast_n be_v a_o public_a and_o solemn_a testimony_n of_o repentance_n where_o there_o appear_v any_o extraordinary_a token_n of_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n so_o also_o we_o seacute_v e_fw-la in_o joel_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v unto_o

after_o he_o himself_o have_v put_v on_o sackcloth_n command_v also_o to_o the_o whole_a people_n both_o fast_v and_o other_o testimony_n of_o repentance_n but_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v absurd_a yea_o

a_o lively_a image_n of_o his_o own_o damnation_n in_o the_o ox_n lamb_n or_o goat_n so_o also_o the_o ninevite_n when_o they_o constrain_v their_o ox_n &_o ass_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o beast_n to_o fast_o they_o be_v admonish_v of_o how_o grievous_a &_o severe_a punishment_n they_o be_v worthy_a even_o because_o that_o very_o innocent_a beast_n suffer_v punishment_n together_o with_o they_o we_o see_v therefore_o that_o the_o king_n seek_v not_o to_o make_v any_o sacrifice_n while_o he_o command_v a_o fast_a &_o hunger_n to_o the_o very_a brute_n beast_n but_o rather_o the_o man_n be_v with_o such_o prick_v stir_v up_o to_o acknowledge_v serious_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n &_o to_o conceive_v the_o more_o terror_n whereby_o they_o may_v the_o more_o be_v humble_v before_o god_n and_o

this_o commandment_n of_o the_o fast_n of_o the_o beast_n aught_o to_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o touch_n of_o man_n conscience_n with_o fear_n as_o they_o which_o have_v flatter_v themselves_o too_o much_o and_o therefore_o by_o such_o a_o remedy_n may_v amend_v and_o correct_v their_o deadly_a drowsiness_n and_o to_o this_o end_n belong_v the_o wash_n in_o the_o law_n to_o purify_v vesture_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o vessel_n even_o that_o the_o people_n may_v know_v that_o whatsoever_o they_o touch_v be_v defile_v with_o their_o filthiness_n and_o this_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v note_v because_o the_o papist_n as_o they_o be_v give_v to_o ceremony_n snatch_v up_o whatsoever_o in_o any_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v read_v of_o fast_v of_o sackcloth_n &_o ash_n and_o

be_v of_o force_n with_o we_o that_o fast_v &_o such_o like_a of_o themselves_o be_v of_o nought_o but_o only_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v of_o by_o their_o end_n so_o therefore_o when_o as_o the_o

god_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n that_o fast_o please_v god._n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v object_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v go_v about_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n not_o mention_v in_o the_o word_n or_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n easy_a also_o be_v the_o answer_n answer_v that_o the_o king_n of_o nineveh_n by_o this_o invent_v not_o any_o kind_n of_o pacify_v of_o

and_o the_o prescript_n rule_v thereof_o therefore_o the_o king_n of_o nineveh_n try_v here_o nothing_o strange_a &_o unknown_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n when_o he_o refer_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o scope_n even_o that_o he_o with_o the_o people_n may_v come_v forth_o humble_o before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n and_o with_o earnest_a penitency_n and_o repentance_n may_v desire_v pardon_n this_o answer_n than_o be_v plain_a enough_o when_o as_o therefore_o jonas_n add_v that_o the_o king_n command_v both_o the_o people_n &_o the_o beast_n to_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n let_v we_o know_v that_o if_o any_o man_n will_v snatch_v up_o this_o naked_a example_n to_o imitate_v it_o he_o shall_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o jester_n because_o always_o this_o reason_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o king_n seek_v help_n wherewith_o he_o may_v drive_v both_o himself_o and_o he_o unto_o true_a repentance_n and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o we_o take_v heed_n in_o the_o imitation_n of_o this_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v prone_a unto_o a_o foolish_a zeal_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n we_o be_v almost_o like_o ape_n but_o it_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v look_v unto_o with_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v lead_v who_o we_o covet_v to_o imitate_v lest_o that_o we_o be_v content_a with_o the_o outward_a appearance_n do_v neglect_n that_o which_o be_v principal_a or_o chief_a afterwards_o jonas_n add_v and_o they_o cry_v strong_o or_o infortitude_n unto_o god._n this_o must_v be_v restrain_v unto_o the_o man_n &_o not_o unto_o the_o beast_n for_o it_o will_v not_o agree_v unto_o brute_n beast_n well_o the_o man_n and_o the_o beast_n abstain_v from_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o then_o the_o man_n cry_v unto_o god_n this_o cry_n can_v not_o spring_v but_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o perceiverance_n and_o knowledge_n of_o godliness_n therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o ought_v not_o confuse_o to_o be_v draw_v as_o well_o to_o brute_n beast_n as_o man_n but_o that_o the_o king_n of_o nineveh_n command_v the_o people_n in_o fortitude_n to_o cry_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v worthy_a the_o note_n for_o here_o hence_o we_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v in_o deed_n through_o terrify_v for_o here_o be_v no_o mention_v of_o the_o common_a cry_n but_o he_o add_v in_o fortitude_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v with_o open_a throat_n and_o
this_o do_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n chief_o shine_v that_o he_o be_v appease_v so_o soon_o as_o man_n repent_v and_o also_o in_o that_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o father_n unto_o they_o aught_v jonas_n to_o have_v prefer_v his_o estimation_n before_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o prophet_n so_o be_v not_o addict_v to_o himself_o but_o that_o always_o the_o study_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n obtain_v the_o high_a degree_n in_o his_o mind_n this_o be_v certain_a but_o he_o join_v his_o ministry_n with_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o worthy_o because_o it_o depend_v upon_o his_o authority_n jonas_n when_o he_o enter_v into_o nineveh_n he_o cry_v not_o as_o a_o private_a man_n but_o profess_v that_o he_o be_v send_v from_o god._n now_o if_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n be_v find_v false_a the_o reproach_n redound_v upon_o the_o very_a author_n of_o his_o call_n that_o be_v upon_o god_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n therefore_o but_o that_o jonas_n take_v it_o grievous_o that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v make_v they_o afraid_a of_o nothing_o and_o again_o speak_v dissemble_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o open_a hell_n and_o by_o and_o by_o heaven_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o against_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o such_o dissimulation_n we_o see_v then_o why_o jonas_n be_v carry_v away_o with_o so_o great_a sorrow_n he_o respect_v not_o himself_o but_o because_o he_o see_v a_o occasion_n give_v or_o a_o door_n lay_v open_a to_o wicked_a blasphemy_n if_o god_n shall_v alter_v his_o determination_n or_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v constant_a in_o his_o word_n here_o hence_o i_o say_v come_v that_o so_o great_a sorrow_n but_o although_o this_o be_v a_o very_a good_a reason_n 3._o yet_o we_o gather_v of_o what_o force_n our_o good_a intent_n be_v with_o god_n if_o any_o good_a intent_n may_v be_v imagine_v certain_o this_o may_v deserve_v some_o praise_n that_o jonas_n have_v rather_o a_o hundred_o time_n to_o die_v then_o to_o here_o those_o wicked_a blasphemy_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o mere_a

be_v a_o excellent_a intent_n if_o we_o may_v be_v judge_n or_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v esteem_v according_a to_o our_o sense_n but_o by_o and_o by_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o it_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o not_o to_o arrogate_v unto_o ourselves_o judgement_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o pass_v our_o capacity_n but_o to_o submit_v our_o mind_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o desire_v of_o he_o the_o spirit_n of_o discretion_n and_o judgement_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o jonas_n so_o shall_v fret_v against_o god_n but_o that_o he_o be_v inflame_v with_o the_o study_n of_o his_o glory_n but_o this_o be_v a_o inconsiderate_a zeal_n because_o he_o himself_o will_v be_v arbiter_n and_o judge_n he_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n and_o this_o same_o rule_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v of_o we_o all_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o see_v many_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v from_o above_o that_o be_v by_o the_o

the_o mean_a time_n let_v we_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v at_o the_o length_n convert_v those_o reproach_n unto_o his_o own_o glory_n but_o let_v not_o we_o murmur_v &_o grudge_n as_o many_o do_v which_o by_o and_o by_o begin_v to_o chide_v against_o god_n as_o often_o as_o a_o thing_n be_v otherwise_o govern_v and_o direct_v than_o they_o themselves_o list_v or_o do_v think_v convenient_a let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o example_n of_o jonas_n not_o to_o measure_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n by_o our_o own_o capacity_n but_o let_v we_o patient_o weight_n till_o he_o convert_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n also_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n to_o follow_v his_o call_n without_o controversy_n although_o heaven_n

therefore_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o from_o his_o vocation_n to_o this_o end_n therefore_o tend_v the_o word_n of_o jonas_n as_o though_o he_o will_v appoint_v god_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n and_o a_o

this_o be_v sure_o marvellous_a that_o jonas_n be_v call_v away_o from_o his_o vocation_n because_o he_o know_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a see_v that_o no_o sharp_a goad_n ought_v to_o prick_v we_o
