s._n paul_n 6._o handle_v the_o same_o matter_n of_o wicked_a speech_n which_o defile_v and_o infect_v we_o with_o evil_a vice_n 9_o now_o that_o of_o other_o be_v the_o worst_a when_o man_n speak_v of_o god_n in_o mockery_n when_o one_o will_v scorn_v &_o sloute_z he_o when_o one_o make_v a_o jest_n of_o he_o not_o only_o after_o a_o fashion_n fond_a and_o vain_a but_o villainous_a and_o execrable_a be_v not_o this_o even_o of_o purpose_n and_o wilful_a malice_n to_o violate_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o be_v do_v and_o common_o use_v so_o that_o there_o shall_v scarce_o be_v any_o long_a discourse_n make_v or_o great_a matter_n maintain_v which_o have_v not_o i_o know_v not_o what_o intermingle_v whereby_o god_n shall_v be_v contemn_v &_o set_v at_o naught_o show_v we_o not_o then_o hereby_o that_o we_o never_o know_v aright_o what_o it_o be_v to_o worship_v he_o well_o we_o shall_v say_v every_o day_n thy_o name_n be_v hallow_v but_o we_o do_v all_o the_o contrary_a shall_v there_o then_o any_o other_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n light_n on_o our_o head_n than_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o church_n we_o will_v confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n that_o we_o desire_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_o be_v maintain_v in_o his_o due_a honour_n we_o will_v say_v as_o much_o at_o the_o table_n and_o every_o one_o when_o he_o rise_v and_o lay_v he_o down_o to_o sleep_v i_o speak_v of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o altogether_o brutish_a for_o there_o be_v some_o which_o know_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v to_o make_v prayer_n unto_o god_o but_o they_o which_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o honesty_n as_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n they_o shall_v well_o say_v with_o the_o mouth_n thy_o name_n be_v sanctify_v but_o this_o be_v scarce_o go_v from_o the_o tip_n of_o their_o tongue_n and_o behold_v a_o false_a oath_n in_o their_o mouth_n and_o they_o will_v toss_v the_o name_n of_o god_o hither_o and_o thither_o and_o whither_o tend_v his_o wickedness_n but_o to_o the_o violate_v of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_o and_o to_o the_o despite_a of_o he_o as_o if_o we_o will_v give_v he_o a_o blow_n with_o a_o dagger_n or_o spit_v in_o his_o face_n and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o need_v no_o other_o judge_n to_o condemn_v we_o in_o our_o false_a oath_n than_o this_o protestation_n which_o we_o make_v when_o we_o desire_v of_o god_o that_o he_o will_v maintain_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o name_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o seek_v to_o deface_v it_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o now_o it_o rest_v that_o we_o must_v speak_v of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_o in_o all_o reverence_n especial_o when_o we_o talk_v of_o he_o work_v as_o how_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n whether_o he_o send_v fair_a weather_n or_o rain_n ●oe_v these_o be_v mark_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n if_o he_o send_v we_o contrary_a season_n be_v show_v himself_o as_o a_o judge_n to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n that_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o bewail_v they_o and_o to_o be_v lead_v to_o repentance_n now_o if_o in_o stead_n of_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o have_v a_o displeasure_n with_o ourselves_o for_o our_o offence_n we_o be_v wayward_a and_o overthwart_a as_o we_o see_v that_o some_o man_n be_v wont_v despiteful_o to_o say_v and_o must_v this_o season_n continue_v in_o this_o sort_n and_o thus_o long_o and_o have_v not_o recourse_n to_o our_o god_n beseech_v he_o to_o pardon_v our_o fault_n this_o shall_v be_v to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o bring_v this_o example_n only_o to_o show_v that_o when_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n it_o behoove_v that_o either_o we_o perceive_v he_o to_o be_v a_o father_n in_o his_o goodness_n or_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n in_o his_o rigour_n and_o severity_n therefore_o when_o god_n shall_v do_v thing_n which_o shall_v not_o fall_v out_o to_o our_o mind_n and_o which_o shall_v be_v contrary_a to_o our_o wish_n and_o desire_n let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o grieve_v and_o chastise_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o sin_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o to_o be_v displease_v with_o they_o if_o then_o we_o glorify_v not_o god_n in_o this_o thing_n we_o unhallow_a his_o holy_a name_n and_o again_o when_o god_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n draw_v we_o to_o himself_o in_o all_o gentleness_n as_o a_o love_a and_o pitiful_a father_n this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v lead_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o we_o honour_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o and_o if_o our_o unthankfulness_n be_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o not_o honour_v he_o in_o the_o first_o word_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v speak_v what_o shall_v be_v say_v when_o we_o shall_v be_v upbraid_v of_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o by_o all_o the_o way_n god_o shall_v have_v seek_v to_o draw_v and_o allure_v we_o he_o may_v win_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o none_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o shall_v have_v show_v ourselves_o contemner_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o shall_v have_v tread_v his_o work_n under_o our_o foot_n or_o shall_v have_v cast_v down_o the_o groin_n as_o hog_n and_o repine_v against_o he_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v not_o this_o be_v a_o horrible_a condemnation_n if_o we_o be_v condemn_v hereof_o now_o although_o god_n have_v imprint_v some_o mark_n of_o his_o majesty_n in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v know_v of_o we_o in_o rain_n in_o fair_a weather_n in_o heat_n in_o cold_a brief_o in_o all_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n yet_o have_v he_o especial_o imprint_v his_o mark_n in_o his_o word_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o intolerable_a and_o inexcusable_a vice_n when_o we_o reknowledge_v not_o god_n in_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v on_o we_o we_o hold_v our_o life_n of_o he_o that_o be_v in_o he_o we_o live_v as_o s._n paul_n speak_v 28._o so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o remembrance_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o benefit_n this_o be_v already_o a_o wonderful_a unthankfulness_n but_o as_o i_o have_v above_o say_v god_n above_o all_o will_v imprint_v his_o mark_n in_o his_o word_n let_v we_o behold_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v god_n declare_v full_o in_o they_o for_o what_o be_v this_o world_n but_o a_o lively_a image_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v 20._o in_o the_o which_o god_n show_v and_o declare_v himself_o for_o albeit_o he_o be_v invisible_a in_o his_o essence_n yet_o show_v he_o himself_o by_o his_o work_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v worship_v he_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o it_o shall_v we_o see_v a_o image_n wherein_o god_n open_v and_o declare_v himself_o much_o more_o plain_o &_o in_o more_o familiar_a wise_n unto_o we_o than_o he_o do_v either_o in_o the_o heaven_n or_o in_o the_o earth_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o neither_o sun_n nor_o moon_n although_o they_o geve_v light_n unto_o the_o world_n do_v so_o set_v forth_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n as_o do_v the_o law_n the_o prophet_n &_o the_o gospel_n now_o for_o all_o this_o how_o speak_v man_n of_o the_o scripture_n with_o what_o wicked_a boldness_n and_o presumption_n do_v not_o man_n i_o pray_v you_o at_o this_o day_n geve_v themselves_o to_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n according_a to_o their_o own_o fantasy_n and_o when_o man_n enter_v into_o a_o dispute_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n over_o the_o pot_n in_o tavern_n and_o alehouse_n be_v there_o any_o question_n of_o humble_v ourselves_o under_o it_o and_o that_o all_o know_v their_o own_o rudeness_n and_o infirmity_n desire_v of_o god_n his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o the_o end_n his_o secret_n and_o mystery_n be_v handle_v of_o we_o as_o it_o behove_v no_o but_o these_o dispute_n be_v as_o in_o way_n of_o mockery_n to_o sport_n ourselves_o and_o by_o this_o a_o man_n may_v see_v more_o than_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v how_o few_o there_o be_v true_o religious_a &_o godly_a in_o the_o world_n we_o see_v some_o make_v themselves_o game_n with_o the_o scripture_n draw_v it_o into_o proverbial_a sentence_n to_o move_v laughter_n that_o they_o make_v no_o other_o account_n than_o to_o jest_n and_o play_v with_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o nose_n of_o wax_n which_o one_o may_v fashion_v as_o he_o list_v and_o turn_v any_o way_n it_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o he_o other_o be_v in_o their_o wander_a and_o flit_a
the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n be_v call_v one_o god_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o moses_n do_v make_v comparison_n between_o the_o god_n which_o publish_v his_o law_n as_o before_o he_o be_v manifest_v unto_o his_o servant_n abraham_n and_o to_o the_o other_o patriarch_n &_o will_v oppose_v he_o against_o all_o the_o god_n which_o the_o world_n imagine_v as_o god_n in_o all_o time_n have_v be_v call_v upon_o this_o name_n have_v be_v common_a among_o the_o paynim_n but_o what_o the_o paynim_n have_v so_o wander_v that_o albeit_o every_o one_o have_v say_v i_o adore_v and_o worship_n god_n yet_o what_o be_v this_o but_o their_o own_o dream_n and_o fantasy_n for_o when_o man_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o worship_n god_n when_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o he_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o worship_v idol_n the_o turk_n at_o this_o day_n will_v say_v that_o they_o worship_n god_n creator_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o idol_n which_o they_o worship_v and_o how_o so_o they_o name_v he_o creator_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n they_o have_v no_o image_n it_o be_v true_a but_o yet_o have_v they_o but_o a_o idol_n in_o stead_n of_o god_n because_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o lively_a image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n and_o we_o know_v what_o saint_n john_n say_v 23._o that_o he_o which_o deny_v the_o son_n he_o deny_v the_o father_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o god_n but_o a_o idol_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o jew_n the_o jew_n will_v brag_v much_o that_o they_o have_v the_o law_n and_o that_o they_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n of_o isaac_n and_o of_o jacob_n but_o what_o they_o be_v apostate_n they_o have_v renounce_v the_o law_n of_o god_n when_o they_o have_v reicete_v and_o refuse_v jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v he_o by_o who_o god_n the_o father_n will_v manifest_v and_o open_v himself_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v he_o in_o who_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v 12._o and_o again_o he_o say_v 23._o risse_z the_o son_n who_o i_o have_v send_v you_o and_o again_o who_o so_o honour_v not_o the_o son_n the_o same_o honour_v not_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v he_o let_v we_o therefore_o diligent_o note_v that_o moses_n will_v in_o this_o place_n make_v comparison_n between_o the_o god_o which_o have_v declare_v himself_o in_o his_o word_n and_o all_o the_o god_n which_o be_v renown_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n show_v that_o all_o that_o be_v beside_o he_o be_v nothing_o but_o apishness_n and_o mere_a vanity_n and_o lie_v and_o why_o for_o we_o can_v worship_v god_n aright_o except_o we_o have_v first_o know_v he_o and_o we_o must_v always_o to_o this_o purpose_n remember_v that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n you_o know_v not_o what_o you_o worship_v 22._o when_o jesus_n christ_n use_v this_o word_n he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v spit_v at_o all_o those_o service_n and_o worship_n which_o be_v then_o establish_v there_o be_v no_o nation_n which_o vaunt_v not_o of_o serve_v god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n reject_v all_o that_o which_o man_n think_v to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a you_o know_v not_o say_v he_o what_o you_o worship_v he_o show_v hereby_o that_o it_o be_v requisite_a and_o needful_a there_o be_v make_v some_o manifest_a declaration_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o walk_v here_o at_o all_o adventure_n but_o we_o must_v be_v assure_v what_o the_o god_n be_v who_o we_o serve_v and_o worship_n now_o see_v god_n must_v be_v know_v of_o we_o to_o be_v right_o serve_v and_o worship_v let_v we_o consider_v whence_o this_o knowledge_n shall_v come_v and_o arise_v shall_v it_o grow_v in_o our_o own_o garden_n as_o we_o say_v shall_v we_o obtain_v it_o by_o our_o own_o labour_n and_o industry_n shall_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o every_o one_o to_o think_v what_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o he_o to_o say_v i_o have_v know_v god_n no_o no_o but_o god_o must_v declare_v and_o show_v himself_o he_o must_v approach_v and_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o so_o the_o only_a mean_a to_o know_v god_o aright_o be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v teach_v and_o instruct_v in_o his_o word_n and_o lo_o why_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n for_o this_o people_n have_v receive_v the_o law_n and_o again_o the_o covenant_n have_v be_v make_v with_o their_o father_n god_o have_v separate_v this_o flock_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o be_v not_o then_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n here_o lead_v the_o people_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n they_o estrange_v and_o keep_v themselves_o from_o all_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o paynim_n that_o they_o have_v nothing_o common_a with_o the_o unfaithful_a one_o but_o that_o they_o know_v that_o whereas_o god_n have_v manifest_v himself_o so_o familiar_o unto_o they_o they_o have_v a_o most_o certain_a and_o infallible_a truth_n now_o if_o this_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n it_o agree_v much_o better_a unto_o we_o for_o albeit_o god_n have_v give_v a_o sufficient_a admonition_n unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o be_v not_o mingle_v among_o the_o pollusion_n of_o the_o paynim_n in_o

his_o father_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o we_o may_v well_o agree_v unto_o that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o first_o of_o saint_n john_n none_o have_v see_v god_o at_o any_o time_n 18._o but_o the_o son_n which_o have_v always_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n have_v reveal_v he_o unto_o we_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v have_v a_o knowledge_n as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o
