to_o be_v see_v through_o a_o glass_n dark_o as_o s._n paul_n speak_v i_o come_v now_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v without_o all_o comparison_n a_o great_a favour_n which_o god_n do_v to_o they_o to_o who_o god_n let_v his_o presence_n be_v see_v then_o that_o which_o he_o do_v to_o they_o to_o who_o he_o do_v make_v his_o presence_n to_o be_v feel_v in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o that_o see_v it_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v feel_v it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o he_o that_o feel_v it_o shall_v see_v it_o i_o will_v say_v in_o as_o much_o as_o sight_n can_v stand_v without_o feeling_n but_o feeling_n may_v be_v without_o see_v that_o this_o may_v be_v well_o understand_v i_o say_v that_o as_o i_o understand_v it_o than_o a_o man_n feel_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n when_o love_v and_o believe_v be_v confident_a and_o hope_v and_o when_o pray_v and_o work_v &_o understanding_n he_o do_v real_o and_o indeed_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v move_v a●…●…ted_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o love_n to_o believe_v to_o have_v ●…nce_n and_o to_o hope_n and_o also_o to_o pray_v to_o work_v and_o to_o understand_v feel_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v that_o which_o do_v inspire_v he_o to_o love_n to_o believe_v to_o have_v confidence_n and_o to_o hope_v and_o it_o be_v he_o himself_o that_o pray_v work_n and_o understand_v in_o he_o for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o in_o all_o these_o exercise_n feel_v the_o favour_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n he_o feel_v the_o prefence_n of_o god_n furthermore_o i_o say_v that_o then_o a_o man_n see_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n when_o by_o the_o gracious_a favour_n of_o god_n it_o be_v show_v unto_o he_o in_o what_o manner_n god_n sustain_v all_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v create_v in_o their_o proper_a be_v in_o which_o he_o create_v they_o &_o in_o what_o manner_n god_n fail_v they_o or_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o they_o never_o so_o little_a they_o will_v fail_v in_o their_o being_n to_o penetrate_v well_o into_o this_o consideration_n i_o go_v imagine_v that_o which_o be_v ordinary_o see_v in_o the_o house_n of_o a_o pope_n where_o all_o they_o that_o abide_v in_o his_o house_n do_v depend_v of_o he_o and_o be_v sustain_v by_o he_o in_o that_o degree_n and_o in_o that_o dignity_n in_o which_o he_o have_v place_v they_o and_o the_o pope_n die_v all_o the_o whole_a house_n break_v up_o and_o cease_v to_o be_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o that_o be_v secretary_n be_v now_o so_o no_o long_o the_o self_n same_o i_o say_v of_o all_o the_o other_o officer_n of_o the_o house_n who_o all_o of_o they_o in_o the_o pope_n death_n loose_v that_o be_v which_o the_o pope_n life_n give_v unto_o they_o pass_v on_o forward_o i_o consider_v that_o which_o by_o experience_n be_v understand_v in_o a_o man_n who_o be_v so_o far_o a_o man_n in_o as_o much_o as_o his_o soul_n stay_v in_o his_o body_n that_o be_v altogether_o sustain_v by_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o i_o will_v say_v that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n exercise_v their_o own_o office_n so_o long_o as_o the_o soul_n abide_v within_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n depart_v the_o body_n dissolve_v and_o return_n to_o earth_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o they_o now_o be_v no_o more_o eye_n which_o be_v former_o eye_n the_o selfsame_o i_o say_v of_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n all_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v depart_v from_o the_o body_n lose_v that_o be_v which_o they_o have_v by_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n in_o the_o pope_n house_n because_o i_o be_o able_a with_o my_o wit_n &_o with_o my_o judgement_n to_o consider_v and_o see_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o see_v and_o consider_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o pope_n his_o providence_n his_o bounty_n liberality_n and_o justice_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o maintain_v his_o house_n with_o good_a order_n and_o with_o good_a government_n and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o i_o be_o able_a with_o my_o wit_n and_o discourse_n to_o understand_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v part_v from_o the_o body_n a_o man_n cease_v to_o be_v that_o which_o he_o be_v every_o one_o of_o his_o member_n cease_v to_o execute_v the_o office_n which_o it_o exercise_v i_o be_o able_a also_o to_o understand_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o be_v which_o the_o body_n have_v come_v by_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v she_o that_o govern_v every_o one_o of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n as_o be_v meet_v make_v they_o to_o serve_v to_o that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v create_v and_o so_o i_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n providence_n and_o discretion_n and_o all_o the_o other_o good_a quality_n annex_v thereunto_o but_o in_o god_n in_o as_o much_o as_o i_o be_o not_o able_a neither_o with_o my_o wit_n nor_o by_o experience_n to_o understand_v in_o what_o manner_n all_o thing_n depend_v of_o he_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o fail_v they_o they_o fail_v i_o can_v by_o myself_o see_v that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o pope_n house_n nor_o understand_v that_o which_o i_o understand_v in_o a_o man_n albeit_o by_o that_o which_o i_o hear_v speak_v and_o by_o that_o which_o i_o read_v i_o may_v imagine_v it_o but_o want_v the_o see_v and_o want_v the_o understanding_n by_o experience_n i_o can_v certify_v myself_o in_o it_o until_o god_n himself_o let_v i_o see_v and_o understand_v how_o this_o be_v show_v i_o his_o presence_n which_o i_o understand_v consist_v in_o this_o demenstration_n and_o in_o this_o union_n furthermore_o i_o understand_v that_o it_o will_v be_v great_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o pope_n favourite_n servant_n when_o the_o pope_n be_v unalterable_a and_o immortal_a to_o see_v that_o his_o be_v and_o his_o sustentation_n in_o that_o degree_n come_v to_o he_o from_o the_o pope_n and_o depend_v upon_o the_o life_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o i_o understand_v also_o that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o great_a satisfaction_n to_o see_v real_o and_o indeed_o in_o what_o manner_n the_o be_v and_o sustentation_n of_o his_o body_n depend_v upon_o his_o soul_n and_o i_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v without_o any_o comparison_n much_o high_a and_o more_o excellent_a than_o any_o of_o these_o that_o satisfaction_n that_o glory_n and_o that_o content_a which_o those_o person_n feel_v in_o themselves_o who_o in_o any_o sort_n whatsoever_o see_v in_o what_o manner_n god_n sustain_v and_o maintain_v all_o thing_n give_v unto_o they_o a_o be_v and_o give_v unto_o they_o life_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o without_o he_o they_o will_v cease_v to_o be_v and_o to_o live_v for_o in_o this_o vision_n they_o know_v and_o feel_v themselves_o favour_v of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o self_n same_o they_o quiet_v themselves_o and_o assure_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o mind_n understand_v that_o they_o be_v sustain_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o who_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o his_o own_o power_n and_o in_o the_o selfsame_o vision_n in_o a_o new_a manner_n they_o know_v in_o god_n omnipotency_n wisdom_n justice_n mercy_n truth_n and_o fidelity_n and_o know_v this_o they_o grow_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o confidence_n of_o god_n and_o in_o patience_n with_o which_o they_o hope_v for_o eternal_a life_n and_o so_o that_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n that_o a_o man_n see_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n begin_v to_o taste_v in_o part_n in_o this_o present_a life_n that_o which_o he_o shall_v taste_v entire_o with_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n consid._n

son_n of_o god_n shall_v conserve_v and_o maintain_v himself_o in_o bodily_a and_o spiritual_a health_n the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v make_v use_n of_o the_o physician_n &_o of_o the_o physic_n to_o conserve_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n as_o they_o also_o make_v use_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o conserve_v the_o health_n of_o their_o mind_n but_o they_o do_v it_o without_o put_v confidence_n either_o in_o this_o or_o in_o that_o for_o all_o their_o trust_n stand_v put_v in_o god_n they_o make_v use_v likewise_o to_o conserve_v the_o health_n of_o their_o body_n of_o the_o observation_n of_o time_n and_o place_n as_o they_o make_v use_v of_o some_o ceremony_n to_o comlerve_v the_o health_n of_o their_o soul_n this_o they_o do_v rather_o to_o conform_v themselves_o in_o the_o outward_a with_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n then_o because_o they_o feel_v themselves_o need_v of_o such_o observation_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n alone_o observe_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o whole_o depend_v on_o it_o these_o truth_n they_o understand_v that_o prove_v they_o the_o other_o find_v in_o they_o many_o intricacy_n for_o the_o natural_a man_n perceive_v

be_v two_o man_n will_v pass_v a_o great_a river_n by_o wade_v there_o come_v to_o they_o one_o that_o be_v experience_v in_o the_o river_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o in_o this_o manner_n if_o you_o

that_o i_o shall_v pass_v you_o over_o come_v after_o i_o and_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o these_o two_o man_n one_o confident_a in_o his_o own_o wisdom_n upon_o that_o which_o have_v be_v tell_v he_o

he_o i_o understand_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o as_o i_o hold_v for_o certain_a that_o the_o presumption_n and_o error_n of_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n be_v much_o great_a folly_n then_o than_o that_o of_o he_o who_o when_o he_o may_v pass_v the_o river_n with_o a_o guide_n and_o safe_o put_v himself_o to_o the_o hazard_n to_o pass_v it_o alone_o so_o i_o hold_v it_o for_o certain_a that_o the_o prudence_n and_o discretion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v rule_v and_o govern_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v much_o great_a than_o that_o of_o that_o man_n that_o choose_v rather_o to_o pass_v the_o river_n with_o a_o guide_n then_o alone_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v incorporate_v in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n in_o so_o much_o be_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n consid._n iv._o from_o whence_o the_o revengeful_a affection_n proceed_v in_o men●…_n and_o what_o effect_n the_o long_a sufferance_n cause_v wherewith_o god_n go_v defer_v the_o revenge_n of_o those_o injury_n which_o man_n do_v unto_o he_o pvt_v on_o one_o part_n all_o the_o offence_n that_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n until_o this_o present_a day_n have_v be_v do_v by_o man_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o put_v on_o the_o other_o part_n only_o those_o which_o one_o man_n inone_o day_n only_o do_v to_o god_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o behold_v beyond_o all_o comparison_n a_o great_a quality_n and_o quantity_n of_o these_o then_o of_o they_o pass_v on_o further_a and_o consider_v the_o revengeful_a affection_n in_o man_n so_o extreme_a that_o there_o be_v very_o few_o injure_a who_o be_v able_a to_o revenge_v themselves_o do_v not_o take_v revenge_n and_o consider_v in_o god_n that_o he_o be_v able_a with_o one_o beck_n to_o annihilate_v all_o those_o that_o offend_v he_o he_o do_v not_o annihilate_v they_o but_o rather_o tolerate_v they_o and_o comport_v and_o give_v unto_o they_o of_o his_o good_a thing_n i_o have_v set_v myself_o to_o examine_v whence_o this_o revengeful_a affection_n in_o man_n proceed_v and_o what_o effect_n the_o patience_n of_o god_n do_v work_v and_o i_o hold_v for_o certain_a that_o the_o revengeful_a affection_n in_o man_n proceed_v from_o the_o depravation_n of_o the_o first_o man_n confirm_v myself_o in_o this_o that_o if_o humane_a nature_n have_v not_o be_v deprave_v man_n will_v have_v be_v most_o estrange_v from_o all_o revenge_n for_o the_o first_o man_n be_v create_v unto_o the_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o manifest_a thing_n he_o be_v create_v with_o a_o affection_n estrange_v from_o revenge_n as_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v in_o god_n this_o be_v for_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o man_n from_o the_o patience_n with_o which_o god_n suffer_v the_o injury_n which_o be_v ordinary_o do_v he_o i_o consider_v that_o all_o these_o effect_n proceed_v worthy_a according_a to_o my_o judgement_n of_o great_a consideration_n the_o first_o be_v that_o many_o of_o the_o injurer_n and_o impious_a become_v servant_n and_o pious_a which_o will_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v if_o they_o be_v punish_v in_o their_o injure_v the_o second_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v sudden_o punish_v the_o wicked_a in_o a_o short_a space_n all_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n will_v be_v consume_v and_o there_o be_v no_o wicked_a the_o pious_a will_v not_o have_v the_o mean_n to_o exercise_v their_o piety_n the_o which_o be_v necessary_a shall_v be_v exercise_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o be_v purify_v it_o may_v shine_v out_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o three_o be_v that_o pious_a man_n consider_v how_o god_n be_v estrange_v from_o revenge_n and_o remember_v themselves_o that_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o they_o in_o this_o present_a life_n be_v to_o recover_v the_o image_n of_o god_n with_o which_o the_o first_o man_n be_v create_v they_o shall_v reduce_v their_o mind_n to_o leave_v all_o affection_n of_o wrath_n and_o of_o revenge_n say_v when_o they_o be_v assault_v these_o and_o other_o like_a word_n my_o intent_n be_v to_o recover_v the_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o god_n with_o which_o the_o first_o man_n be_v create_v this_o be_v altogether_o estrange_v from_o revenge_n for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n be_v able_a to_o revenge_v himself_o do_v not_o revenge_v himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o i_o to_o revenge_v myself_o but_o to_o do_v that_o which_o my_o god_n do_v to_o who_o i_o procure_v to_o liken_v myself_o these_o three_o effect_n i_o find_v redound_v to_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o pious_a and_o i_o find_v other_o two_o which_o redound_v to_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o impious_a the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v that_o by_o how_o much_o they_o live_v the_o long_o by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v they_o offend_v and_o do_v injury_n and_o in_o this_o manner_n they_o go_v accumulate_v and_o increase_v eternal_a condemnation_n the_o second_o be_v that_o with_o the_o unquietness_n and_o travail_v that_o they_o suffer_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n they_o begin_v to_o feel_v in_o this_o life_n that_o which_o they_o be_v to_o suffer_v in_o the_o other_o they_o desire_v to_o die_v suppose_v to_o be_v free_a from_o their_o punishment_n and_o on_o the_o other_o fide_fw-la they_o will_v not_o die_v doubt_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v augment_v unto_o they_o in_o so_o much_o that_o through_o the_o patience_n wherewith_o god_n suffer_v and_o defer_v the_o revenge_n of_o the_o injury_n which_o man_n do_v unto_o he_o i_o find_v three_o profit_n of_o the_o pious_a and_o in_o the_o selfsame_o i_o find_v two_o damage_n of_o the_o wicked_a whereupon_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o even_o as_o the_o good_a redound_v to_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o wicked_a so_o also_o that_o which_o seem_v evil_a redound_v to_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o pious_a that_o do_v hold_v and_o embrace_v that_o piety_n which_o be_v obtain_v by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n i_o will_v here_o add_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o god_n command_v i_o that_o i_o shall_v pardon_v they_o that_o do_v i_o injury_n it_o be_v

all_o of_o we_o that_o we_o may_v know_v it_o &_o may_v believe_v our_o justification_n of_o which_o thing_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o assure_v the_o six_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n come_v to_o

to_o mortification_n to_o show_v with_o it_o and_o by_o it_o the_o proper_a way_n of_o mortification_n if_o christ_n have_v take_v s._n john_n baptist_n his_o form_n of_o life_n he_o shall_v have_v

mortification_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v take_v that_o form_n of_o life_n which_o he_o take_v in_o which_o much_o better_a than_o in_o any_o other_o a_o man_n get_v the_o mortification_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o by_o that_o of_o the_o mind_n that_o of_o the_o body_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o world_n hold_v for_o vile_a they_o who_o without_o make_v profession_n

who_o by_o consideration_n of_o christ_n life_n will_v know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v of_o necessity_n mortify_v the_o judgement_n of_o his_o human_a wisdom_n the_o second_o that_o no_o man_n can_v excuse_v himself_o say_v that_o he_o can_v imitate_v the_o form_n of_o christ_n living_n the_o three_o that_o then_o a_o christian_a be_v most_o like_a to_o christ_n living_n
