begin_v well_o well_o for_o as_o board_n well_o join_v at_o the_o first_o sit_v close_o ever_o after_o but_o if_o they_o square_v at_o the_o first_o they_o warp_v more_o and_o more_o so_o they_o

almost_o which_o do_v trouble_v this_o band_n do_v rise_v of_o this_o that_o one_o do_v not_o hit_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o other_o heart_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o either_o nature_n

be_v such_o a_o mood_n as_o if_o he_o do_v chide_v with_o himself_o and_o their_o strife_n as_o it_o be_v a_o sauce_n make_v of_o purpose_n to_o sharpen_v their_o love_n when_o it_o wax_v

fall_v out_o i_o ask_v the_o man_n how_o they_o do_v order_v the_o matter_n that_o their_o infirmity_n do_v not_o make_v they_o discord_n he_o answer_v i_o when_o her_o fit_n be_v upon_o she_o i_o yield_v to_o she_o as_o abraham_n do_v to_o sara_n 6._o and_o when_o my_o fit_n be_v upon_o i_o she_o yield_v to_o i_o and_o so_o we_o never_o strive_v together_o but_o asunder_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o good_a example_n to_o commend_v unto_o all_o marry_a folk_n for_o every_o one_o have_v his_o frenzy_n and_o love_v they_o that_o can_v bear_v his_o infirmity_n who_o will_v a_o woman_n suffer_v if_o she_o will_v not_o suffer_v her_o husband_n and_o who_o defect_n will_v a_o man_n bear_v if_o he_o will_v not_o bear_v she_o which_o bear_v his_o thus_o much_o of_o their_o duty_n in_o general_a now_o to_o their_o several_a office_n the_o man_n may_v spell_v his_o duty_n out_o of_o his_o name_n 23._o for_o he_o be_v call_v the_o head_n to_o show_v that_o as_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o tongue_n and_o the_o ear_n be_v in_o the_o head_n to_o direct_v the_o whole_a body_n so_o the_o man_n shall_v be_v store_v with_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n &_o knowledge_n and_o discretion_n to_o direct_v his_o whole_a family_n for_o it_o be_v not_o right_a that_o the_o worse_a shall_v rule_v the_o better_a but_o the_o better_a shall_v rule_v the_o worse_o as_o the_o best_a rule_v all_o the_o husband_n say_v that_o his_o wife_n must_v obey_v he_o because_o he_o be_v she_o better_o therefore_o if_o he_o let_v she_o be_v better_o than_o himself_o he_o seem_v to_o free_v she_o from_o her_o obedience_n and_o bind_v himself_o to_o obey_v she_o his_o first_o duty_n be_v call_v heart_z duty_n that_o be_v hearty_a affection_n as_o they_o be_v hand_n fast_v so_o they_o must_v be_v heart-fasted_n for_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o tongue_n and_o the_o hand_n will_v be_v her_o enemy_n if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o her_o friend_n as_o christ_n draw_v all_o the_o commandment_n to_o love_n so_o i_o may_v draw_v all_o their_o duty_n to_o love_n which_o be_v the_o heart_n gift_n to_o the_o bride_n at_o her_o marriage_n first_o he_o must_v choose_v his_o love_n &_o then_o he_o must_v love_v his_o choice_n this_o be_v the_o oil_n which_o make_v all_o thing_n easy_a in_o salomon_n song_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o description_n of_o christ_n the_o bridegroom_n and_o the_o church_n his_o spouse_n one_o call_v the_o other_o love_n to_o show_v that_o though_o both_o do_v not_o honour_v alike_o yet_o both_o shall_v love_v alike_o which_o the_o man_n may_v do_v without_o subjection_n the_o man_n be_v to_o his_o wife_n in_o the_o place_n of_o christ_n to_o his_o church_n only_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n require_v such_o a_o affection_n of_o he_o towards_o his_o spouse_n as_o christ_n bear_v toward_o his_o spouse_n 25._o for_o he_o say_v husband_n love_v your_o wife_n as_o christ_n love_v his_o congregation_n that_o be_v with_o a_o holy_a love_n and_o with_o a_o hearty_a love_n and_o with_o a_o constant_a love_n as_o the_o church_n will_v be_v love_v of_o christ_n will_v not_o a_o man_n love_v his_o glory_n 7._o why_o paul_n call_v the_o woman_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o man_n for_o her_o reverence_n make_v he_o to_o be_v reverence_v and_o her_o praise_n make_v he_o to_o be_v praise_v therefore_o he_o which_o love_v not_o his_o wife_n love_v his_o shame_n because_o she_o be_v his_o glory_n 28._o eph._n 5._o 28._o paul_n say_v he_o which_o love_v his_o wife_n love_v himself_o for_o thereby_o he_o enjoy_v peace_n and_o comfort_n and_o help_v to_o himself_o in_o all_o his_o affair_n therefore_o in_o the_o same_o verse_n paul_n counsel_v husband_n to_o love_v their_o wife_n as_o their_o body_n and_o after_o in_o the_o 33._o verse_n as_o though_o it_o be_v too_o little_a to_o love_v they_o as_o their_o body_n 18_o he_o say_v let_v every_o one_o love_n his_o wife_n as_o himself_o that_o be_v as_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n too_o for_o if_o god_n command_v man_n to_o love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o themselves_o much_o more_o be_v they_o bind_v to_o love_v their_o wife_n as_o themselves_o which_o be_v their_o next_o neighbour_n as_o elkanah_n do_v not_o love_v his_o wife_n less_o for_o her_o barrenness_n but_o say_v 8._o be_o not_o i_o better_o unto_o thou_o then_o ten_o son_n as_o though_o he_o favour_v she_o more_o for_o that_o which_o she_o think_v herself_o despise_v so_o a_o good_a husband_n will_v not_o take_v occasion_n to_o love_v his_o wife_n less_o for_o her_o infirmity_n but_o comfort_v she_o more_o for_o they_o as_o this_o man_n do_v that_o she_o may_v bear_v with_o his_o infirmity_n too_o when_o christ_n say_v 7._o that_o a_o man_n shall_v leave_v father_n and_o mother_n and_o cleave_v to_o his_o wife_n he_o signify_v how_o christ_n leave_v his_o father_n for_o his_o spouse_n and_o that_o man_n do_v not_o love_v his_o wife_n so_o much_o as_o he_o shall_v until_o he_o affect_v she_o more_o than_o ever_o he_o do_v his_o father_n or_o mother_n therefore_o when_o god_n bid_v abraham_n forsake_v all_o his_o kindred_n 1._o yet_o he_o bid_v he_o not_o forsake_v his_o wife_n as_o though_o the_o other_o sometime_o may_v be_v forsake_v for_o god_n but_o the_o wife_n must_v be_v keep_v for_o god_n like_o a_o charge_n which_o bind_v for_o term_v of_o life_n his_o next_o duty_n to_o love_n duty_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o his_o love_n that_o be_v to_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v common_a between_o they_o which_o be_v private_a before_o the_o man_n &_o wife_n be_v partner_n partner_n like_o two_o oar_n in_o a_o boat_n therefore_o he_o must_v divide_v office_n and_o affair_n and_o good_n with_o she_o cause_v she_o to_o be_v fear_v and_o reverence_v and_o obey_v of_o her_o child_n and_o servant_n like_o himself_o for_o she_o be_v a_o under_o officer_n in_o his_o commonweal_n and_o therefore_o she_o must_v be_v assist_v and_o bear_v out_o like_o his_o deputy_n as_o the_o prince_n stand_v with_o his_o magistrate_n for_o his_o own_o quiet_a because_o they_o be_v the_o leg_n which_o bear_v he_o up_o to_o show_v this_o community_n between_o husband_n and_o wife_n he_o be_v to_o maintain_v she_o as_o he_o do_v himself_o because_o christ_n say_v 8._o they_o be_v no_o more_o two_o but_o one_o therefore_o when_o he_o mayntain_v she_o he_o
very_a wicked_a have_v labour_v to_o put_v on_o this_o vizard_n as_o we_o read_v of_o pharaoh_n who_o to_o cover_v his_o foolishness_n 10._o say_v come_v let_v we_o do_v wise_o and_o again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o grecian_n seek_v after_o wisdom_n 22._o even_o the_o nation_n which_o god_n call_v the_o foolish_a nation_n 21._o do_v seek_v after_o wisdom_n that_o be_v they_o will_v have_v the_o name_n of_o wisdom_n but_o this_o wisdom_n which_o moses_n call_v wisdom_n be_v count_v foolishness_n 21_o the_o foolishness_n of_o preach_v say_v paul_n mean_v how_o the_o foolish_a count_n preach_v foolishness_n 〈…〉_o again_o foolishness_n to_o the_o gentile_n mean_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n seem_v like_o a_o foolish_a thing_n unto_o many_o for_o that_o which_o christ_n say_v unto_o peter_n he_o may_v say_v almost_o to_o all_o 23_o they_o do_v not_o savour_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n as_o anah_n devise_v a_o new_a creature_n 24._o so_o they_o have_v find_v out_o another_o wisdom_n which_o be_v call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o flesh_n 7_o they_o remember_v be_v wise_a as_o serpent_n 1●_n but_o they_o forget_v be_v simple_a as_o dove_n he_o which_o be_v like_o achitophel_n be_v count_v a_o deep_a couns●●ler_n 7_o he_o which_o be_v like_o machivel_n be_v count_v a_o wise_a fellow_n alas_o how_o easy_a a_o matter_n be_v it_o to_o deceive_v &_o counterfeit_v and_o play_v the_o subtle_a serpent_n if_o a_o man_n will_v set_v his_o head_n unto_o it_o can_v not_o david_n go_v as_o far_o as_o achitophel_n can_v not_o paul_n show_v as_o much_o cunning_a as_o tertullus_n 2._o yes_o yes_o if_o they_o be_v not_o teach_v to_o be_v simple_a as_o dove_n 6._o but_o this_o wisdom_n come_v not_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n but_o by_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o death_n man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o think_v of_o death_n when_o they_o go_v about_o such_o matter_n but_o say_v like_o the_o serpent_n 3_o we_o shall_v not_o die_v two_o thing_n i_o note_v in_o these_o word_n first_o that_o if_o we_o will_v find_v wisdom_n we_o must_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o seek_v she_o they_o that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o touch_v the_o first_o moses_n find_v some_o fault_n with_o himself_o that_o for_o all_o he_o have_v hear_v &_o see_v and_o observe_v and_o be_v count_v wise_a yet_o he_o be_v new_a to_o begin_v and_o have_v not_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o learn_v wisdom_n 2._o like_o the_o wise_a man_n which_o say_v i_o be_o more_o foolish_a than_o any_o man_n i_o have_v not_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o man_n in_o i_o so_o unsatiable_a and_o covetous_a as_o i_o may_v say_v be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n the_o more_o wisdom_n and_o faith_n and_o zeal_n they_o have_v the_o more_o they_o desire_v moses_n speak_v of_o wisdom_n as_o if_o it_o be_v physic_n which_o do_v no_o good_a before_o it_o be_v apply_v and_o the_o part_n to_o apply_v it_o too_o be_v the_o heart_n where_o all_o man_n affection_n be_v to_o love_v it_o and_o cherish_v it_o like_o a_o kind_a hostess_n when_o the_o heart_n seek_v it_o findetha_n though_o it_o be_v bring_v unto_o she_o like_o abraham_n ram_n therefore_o god_n say_v they_o shall_v seek_v i_o 13._o &_o find_v i_o because_o they_o shall_v 〈◊〉_d i_o with_o their_o 〈◊〉_d as_o though_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v he_o with_o all_o their_o seek_n unless_o they_o do_v seek_v he_o with_o their_o heart_n therefore_o the_o way_n to_o get_v wisdom_n be_v to_o apply_v our_o heart_n unto_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v your_o call_n and_o live_v to_o which_o you_o be_v bind_v prentice_n a_o man_n may_v apply_v his_o ear_n &_o his_o eye_n as_o many_o truant_n do_v to_o their_o book_n &_o yet_o never_o prove_v scholar_n but_o from_o that_o day_n which_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o apply_v his_o heart_n unto_o wisdom_n he_o learn_v more_o in_o a_o month_n after_o than_o he_o do_v in_o a_o year_n before_o nay_o then_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life_n even_o as_o you_o see_v the_o wicked_a because_o they_o apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wickedness_n how_o fast_o they_o proceed_v how_o easy_o and_o how_o quick_o they_o become_v perfect_a swearer_n expert_a drunkard_n cunning_a deceiver_n so_o if_o you_o can_v apply_v your_o heart_n as_o thorough_o to_o knowledge_n and_o goodness_n you_o may_v become_v like_o the_o apostle_n which_o teach_v you_o therefore_o when_o solomon_n show_v man_n the_o way_n how_o to_o come_v by_o wisdom_n he_o speak_v often_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o give_v thy_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n 10._o let_v wisdom_n enter_v into_o thy_o heart_n get_v wisdom_n keep_v wisdom_n 8._o embrace_v wisdom_n as_o though_o a_o man_n go_v a_o woo_n for_o wisdom_n wisdom_n be_v like_o god_n daughter_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o man_n that_o love_v she_o and_o sue_v for_o she_o and_o mean_v to_o set_v she_o at_o his_o heart_n thus_o we_o have_v learn_v how_o to_o apply_v knowledge_n that_o it_o may_v do_v we_o good_a not_o to_o our_o ear_n like_o they_o which_o hear_v sermon_n only_o nor_o to_o our_o tongue_n like_v they_o which_o make_v table_n talk_v of_o religion_n but_o to_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v say_v like_o the_o virgin_n 1._o my_o heart_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o heart_n will_v apply_v it_o to_o the_o ear_n 14_o and_o to_o the_o tongue_n as_o christ_n say_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v the_o last_o point_n be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n make_v we_o to_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n moses_n commend_v not_o many_o book_n to_o make_v a_o wise_a man_n learn_v but_o as_o david_n commend_v one_o book_n in_o stead_n of_o many_o 2._o meditate_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o reading_z of_o many_o book_n say_v solomon_n be_v but_o weariness_n to_o the_o flesh_n 12._o therefore_o as_o though_o moses_n have_v mark_v what_o do_v move_v he_o most_o to_o seek_v after_o god_n he_o pray_v that_o that_o thought_n may_v run_v in_o his_o mind_n still_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n as_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o death_n so_o many_o benefit_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v one_o it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n for_o when_o he_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v but_o a_o short_a time_n to_o live_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o spend_v it_o well_o 26._o like_o moses_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o he_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v but_o a_o season_n to_o live_v he_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n than_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o old_a man_n fast_o and_o watch_v and_o prepare_v themselves_o more_o than_o young_a because_o they_o think_v themselves_o near_o the_o door_n like_o old_a isaac_n which_o when_o he_o be_v blind_a for_o age_n say_v unto_o esau_n 2._o behold_v i_o be_o now_o old_a and_o know_v not_o the_o day_n of_o my_o death_n that_o be_v because_o i_o be_o old_a i_o look_v to_o die_v short_o and_o therefore_o as_o esay_n teach_v ezechias_n 1_o to_o set_v all_o thing_n in_o order_n before_o he_o die_v so_o he_o call_v his_o elder_a son_n to_o who_o he_o think_v that_o the_o inheritance_n belong_v that_o he_o may_v bless_v he_o before_o he_o die_v this_o wisdom_n the_o father_n call_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o we_o call_v the_o best_a because_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v of_o a_o short_a life_n and_o think_v evil_a or_o to_o think_v of_o a_o long_a life_n and_o think_v well_o therefore_o when_o jeremie_n have_v number_v all_o the_o calamity_n &_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o last_o he_o impute_v all_o to_o this_o 9_o she_o remember_v not_o her_o end_n so_o if_o i_o may_v judge_v why_o natural_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pomp_n why_o great_a man_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o honour_n and_o dignity_n why_o covetous_a worldling_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o gain_n why_o voluptuous_a epicure_n care_v for_o nothing_o but_o their_o pleasure_n i_o may_v say_v with_o jeremie_n they_o rememember_v not_o their_o end_n we_o never_o covet_v the_o same_o thing_n live_v and_o die_v therefore_o when_o solomon_n have_v speak_v of_o all_o the_o vanity_n of_o man_n at_o last_o he_o oppose_v this_o memorandum_n as_o a_o counterpoise_v against_o they_o all_o 9_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o those_o thing_n thou_o shall_v come_v to_o

require_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eliah_n may_v be_v double_v upon_o he_o because_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n which_o shall_v teach_v other_o so_o we_o shall_v pick_v out_o they_o which_o have_v a_o

want_v of_o angel_n we_o be_v fain_o to_o make_v magistrate_n of_o man_n therefore_o as_o samuel_n go_v over_o all_o the_o son_n of_o ishai_n to_o anoint_v a_o successor_n to_o saul_n 5._o and_o put_v back_o one_o after_o another_o which_o think_v themselves_o fit_a yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o among_o they_o which_o please_v god_n and_o the_o prophet_n can_v scarce_o discern_v he_o so_o

therefore_o there_o be_v such_o a_o scrutiny_n among_o the_o tribe_n to_o find_v out_o the_o man_n who_o god_n have_v choose_v 21._o as_o jethro_n teach_v moses_n to_o cull_v out_o of_o all_o the_o

as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n sit_v in_o moses_n chair_n 20._o but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o judas_n let_v another_o take_v his_o place_n so_o let_v better_o take_v their_o place_n for_o they_o which_o be_v call_v god_n must_v be_v like_o god_n if_o all_o shall_v be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a 3_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v they_o be_v pure_a as_o he_o be_v pure_a wise_a as_o he_o be_v wise_a just_a as_o he_o be_v just_a which_o bear_v his_o name_n which_o supply_n his_o person_n and_o guide_v the_o world_n unto_o good_a or_o evil_n if_o the_o race_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o

shall_v exceed_v other_o in_o gift_n of_o grace_n that_o they_o may_v know_v he_o from_o the_o rest_n and_o say_v this_o be_v he_o for_o he_o exceed_v the_o rest_n in_o virtue_n as_o saul_n do_v in_o

against_o those_o king_n 28._o which_o care_v not_o who_o they_o place_v over_o their_o people_n imitate_v rehoboam_n which_o make_v they_o his_o companion_n who_o he_o shall_v have_v expel_v from_o
