do_v any_o good_a as_o the_o eagle_n do_v account_v they_o bastard_n that_o can_v abide_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n so_o christ_n do_v account_v they_o bastard_n which_o will_v not_o take_v he_o to_o be_v a_o example_n of_o lowliness_n every_o creature_n do_v impart_v his_o good_a unto_o man_n but_o the_o envious_a man_n he_o have_v separate_v himself_o from_o do_v good_a to_o any_o even_o

of_o nabuchadnezzar_n wherein_o be_v lay_v down_o his_o pride_n his_o fall_n and_o his_o restitution_n this_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v a_o wicked_a king_n and_o therefore_o god_n warn_v he_o by_o a_o

for_o a_o time_n and_o he_o become_v like_o a_o beast_n until_o he_o acknowledge_v his_o power_n to_o come_v from_o god_n a_o warning_n to_o all_o ruler_n to_o put_v they_o in_o remembrance_n that_o one_o ruler_n be_v above_o which_o must_v be_v serve_v of_o they_o all_o or_o else_o all_o their_o building_n and_o treasure_n and_o guard_n will_v not_o shield_v they_o from_o judgement_n when_o the_o stroke_n come_v no_o more_o than_o they_o can_v save_v nabuchadaezzar_n at_o the_o end_n of_o twelve_o month_n say_v daniel_n this_o king_n walk_v in_o his_o royal_a palace_n the_o prophet_n show_v that_o he_o have_v deserve_v this_o punishment_n before_o and_o that_o his_o dream_n which_o he_o have_v do_v tell_v he_o that_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v depart_v from_o he_o for_o his_o pride_n yet_o this_o respite_n of_o twelve_o month_n be_v grant_v he_o like_o the_o forty_o day_n which_o be_v grant_v to_o the_o ninivites_fw-la to_o try_v what_o he_o will_v do_v upon_o his_o warning_n and_o whether_o he_o will_v repent_v as_o the_o ninivites_fw-la do_v therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n show_v how_o the_o time_n run_v and_o how_o he_o live_v after_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o he_o will_v return_v yet_o and_o be_v warn_v by_o the_o dream_n or_o by_o the_o prophet_n which_o i_o send_v he_o i_o will_v stay_v my_o hand_n and_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o he_o but_o here_o he_o show_v that_o he_o forget_v his_o dream_n like_o a_o dream_n and_o be_v more_o desirous_a to_o know_v what_o it_o mean_v than_o to_o be_v warn_v by_o it_o the_o twelve_o month_n run_v month_n after_o month_n yet_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v all_o one_o now_o his_o dream_n be_v go_v he_o think_v that_o all_o be_v end_v therefore_o he_o get_v he_o up_o into_o his_o palace_n amidst_o his_o delight_n to_o beak_n himself_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sun_n of_o all_o his_o pleasure_n where_o indeed_o he_o hasten_v god_n to_o take_v away_o all_o his_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n from_o he_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v repent_v as_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n will_v he_o and_o rip_v up_o his_o sin_n and_o bewail_v his_o wicked_a life_n and_o pour_v forth_o tear_n and_o prevent_v his_o

that_o god_n may_v not_o spare_v he_o when_o he_o judge_v so_o the_o wicked_a will_v not_o suffer_v the_o prophecy_n of_o god_n against_o they_o to_o be_v in_o vain_a but_o they_o will_v put_v god_n in_o mind_n of_o their_o punishment_n and_o sin_n till_o the_o punishment_n do_v come_v upon_o they_o to_o fulfil_v the_o threaten_n due_a unto_o they_o some_o think_v that_o nabuchadnezzar_n walk_v upon_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o palace_n from_o whence_o he_o may_v see_v all_o part_n of_o the_o city_n round_o about_o he_o like_o the_o mountain_n whither_o the_o tempter_n lead_v our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o show_v he_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o world_n this_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n will_v signify_v that_o the_o king_n live_v in_o ease_n as_o he_o live_v before_o and_o please_v himself_o in_o vanity_n still_o for_o all_o his_o warning_n and_o turn_v his_o time_n of_o repentance_n to_o sin_n again_o therefore_o god_n will_v defer_v the_o time_n no_o long_o but_o cut_v he_o down_o like_o the_o barren_a and_o fruitless_a fig_n tree_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o take_v mercy_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v and_o repent_v while_o we_o have_v time_n and_o space_n and_o that_o if_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o but_o once_o to_o lay_v it_o up_o in_o our_o heart_n for_o ever_o not_o look_v or_o expect_v to_o be_v speak_v to_o again_o because_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o admonish_v or_o give_v we_o any_o warning_n at_o all_o one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o nabuchadnezzar_n will_v have_v remember_v his_o warning_n while_o he_o have_v live_v which_o have_v such_o a_o strange_a and_o fearful_a dream_n and_o after_o that_o another_o dream_n be_v no_o less_o strange_a and_o fearful_a than_o the_o former_a dream_n to_o confirm_v it_o and_o after_o such_o a_o prophet_n to_o expound_v it_o and_o the_o exposition_n of_o it_o threaten_v such_o a_o miserable_a ruin_n and_o downfall_n unto_o himself_o one_o will_v have_v think_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v never_o have_v forget_v it_o or_o put_v it_o out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n although_o he_o have_v live_v unto_o this_o day_n but_o like_o a_o wonder_n which_o last_v not_o above_o nine_o day_n so_o be_v the_o repentance_n of_o they_o which_o sin_n by_o custom_n for_o when_o sin_n be_v root_v it_o stick_v fast_o and_o will_v hardly_o be_v weed_v out_o though_o god_n shall_v send_v we_o dream_n though_o he_o shall_v show_v we_o vision_n though_o he_o shall_v raise_v up_o prophet_n daniel_n himself_o can_v make_v this_o black_a moor_n white_a which_o always_o have_v be_v black_a before_o
great_a number_n than_o he_o have_v before_o as_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n return_v to_o nabuchadnezzar_n when_o he_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n so_o they_o shall_v come_v back_o like_o a_o

and_o you_o shall_v be_v never_o the_o better_a but_o worse_o and_o worse_o like_o saul_n which_o be_v vex_v more_o and_o more_o till_o he_o have_v kill_v himself_o therefore_o as_o the_o jew_n look_v

god_n will_v show_v a_o visible_a difference_n between_o the_o spiritual_a and_o the_o carnal_a even_o in_o their_o look_n and_o gesture_n as_o there_o be_v between_o a_o child_n and_o a_o old_a man_n the_o spiritual_a mind_n be_v heavenly_a and_o look_v up_o because_o their_o joy_n be_v above_o the_o carnal_a mind_n be_v earthly_a and_o look_v down_o like_a beast_n because_o their_o treasure_n

to_o behold_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n or_o the_o star_n like_o a_o astronomer_n but_o think_v how_o he_o have_v set_v himself_o against_o heaven_n from_o whence_o come_v all_o his_o honour_n in_o a_o

to_o another_o palace_n from_o whence_o that_o terrible_a voice_n come_v down_o unto_o he_o thy_o kingdom_n be_v depart_v from_o thou_o which_o express_v his_o contrite_a heart_n and_o wound_a

and_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n which_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n but_o his_o heart_n too_o for_o unless_o we_o can_v say_v with_o david_n i_o lift_v up_o my_o hart_n psal_n 25._o 1._o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o lift_v up_o eye_n or_o hand_n or_o voice_n as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v because_o he_o which_o be_v a_o spirit_n will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n john_n 4._o therefore_o marie_n say_v my_o heart_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n luke_n 11._o 46._o as_o for_o the_o infidel_n and_o idolater_n they_o have_v no_o hearty_a service_n but_o their_o

that_o they_o lift_v up_o their_o heart_n to_o their_o idol_n but_o their_o hand_n or_o their_o eye_n or_o their_o voice_n as_o the_o baalite_n roar_v to_o baal_n 1._o king_n 18._o 28._o and_o the_o

when_o you_o say_v i_o will_v to_o god_n thou_o be_v like_o i_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v like_o paul_n by_o this_o say_n how_o then_o do_v some_o say_v with_o festus_n too_o much_o zeal_n have_v

as_o eve_n be_v of_o her_o nakedness_n will_v they_o wear_v such_o guard_n and_o paint_v their_o face_n but_o to_o please_v see_v now_o how_o god_n do_v mock_v they_o for_o they_o be_v not_o like_v but_o dislike_v and_o worse_o think_v of_o for_o it_o than_o they_o which_o go_v in_o russet_a coat_n &_o seek_v no_o praise_n at_o all_o they_o think_v be_o i_o not_o brave_a other_o think_v be_v

therefore_o when_o nabuchadnezzar_n say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o majesty_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n majesty_n and_o then_o this_o have_v be_v record_v for_o
