Preached and written by the reverend & godly learned M. Iohn More, late preacher in the citie of Norwitch. And now first published by M. Nicholas Bovvnd: whereunto he hath adioyned of his owne, A sermon of comfort for the afflicted: and, A short treatise of a contented mind.

can_v abide_v it_o it_o grieve_v we_o we_o be_v marveilous_o trouble_v with_o it_o and_o therefore_o be_v we_o so_o careful_a to_o provide_v meat_n for_o the_o body_n and_o clothes_n for_o our_o back_n we_o have_v never_o do_v with_o that_o all_o be_v too_o little_a that_o we_o can_v cram_v into_o this_o our_o filthy_a paunch_n and_o to_o hang_v upon_o our_o lazy_a back_n all_o be_v too_o little_a we_o have_v never_o do_v purchase_v and_o prepare_v for_o it_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v will_v towneship_n and_o lordship_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o fill_v this_o our_o greedy_a maw_n and_o clothe_v our_o fine_a and_o delicate_a back_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n alas_o our_o poor_a soul_n within_o starve_a with_o hunger_n pine_v even_o to_o death_n with_o cold_a and_o nakedness_n and_o we_o not_o a_o whit_n careful_a to_o provide_v for_o it_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n the_o food_n of_o life_n to_o relieve_v his_o hunger_n nor_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o clothe_v the_o nakedness_n of_o it_o lest_o it_o die_v eternal_o we_o be_v not_o a_o whit_n careful_a for_o that_o because_o we_o feel_v nothing_o at_o all_o the_o misery_n &_o danger_n that_o our_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v asleep_a in_o sin_n wallow_v and_o tumble_v themselves_o therein_o in_o peril_n and_o danger_n of_o eternal_a destruction_n and_o hell_n fire_n everlasting_a and_o yet_o do_v not_o see_v it_o they_o think_v themselves_o in_o no_o danger_n and_o that_o make_v man_n so_o careless_a that_o they_o never_o seek_v for_o any_o remedy_n oh_o a_o hard_a world_n a_o hard_a world_n god_n help_n never_o so_o hard_a a_o world_n we_o have_v much_o a_o do_v to_o live_v it_o be_v so_o hard_a a_o world_n thus_o can_v we_o say_v touch_v the_o body_n never_o so_o much_o poverty_n and_o such_o exclamation_n and_o outcry_n for_o the_o pinch_a of_o the_o body_n as_o be_v marvellous_a and_o i_o partly_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v true_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n in_o this_o great_a misery_n and_o peril_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o the_o great_a hunger_n of_o our_o soul_n who_o do_v exclaim_v upon_o that_o skant_o the_o hundred_o person_n and_o although_o it_o be_v exclaim_v upon_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o cold_o look_v unto_o for_o the_o remedy_n of_o it_o other_o thing_n yet_o touch_v the_o hunger_n and_o harm_n of_o the_o body_n they_o be_v look_v unto_o to_o be_v remedy_v and_o this_o hunger_n of_o our_o soul_n which_o bring_v to_o eternal_a death_n be_v smooth_o pass_v over_o i_o can_v not_o see_v but_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n just_a scourge_n to_o punish_v we_o with_o our_o rod_n in_o send_v such_o scarsenesse_n in_o so_o great_a plenty_n because_o we_o will_v needs_o contrary_a to_o his_o commandment_n be_v more_o careful_a for_o our_o bodily_a life_n then_o for_o our_o heavenly_a life_n for_o if_o we_o do_v chief_o and_o above_o all_o seek_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n 33._o god_n give_v his_o promise_n that_o all_o other_o thing_n needful_a shall_v be_v minister_v unto_o we_o but_o because_o we_o will_v needs_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n like_o a_o young_a scholar_n to_o set_v he_o to_o school_v and_o whether_o he_o will_v or_o not_o needs_o before_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n he_o lay_v our_o own_o devise_n upon_o our_o own_o neck_n and_o give_v we_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o therefore_o let_v we_o repent_v in_o time_n for_o a_o judgement_n will_v come_v there_o be_v no_o remedy_n we_o must_v all_o appear_v there_o be_v no_o

easy_a a_o matter_n as_o man_n think_v the_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v we_o so_o the_o way_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o eternal_a destruction_n be_v easy_a 13._o broad_a and_o wide_a and_o many_o find_v it_o they_o flock_v thither_o even_o by_o heap_n but_o the_o way_n to_o life_n he_o tell_v we_o be_v very_o painful_a and_o rough_a many_o prick_n in_o our_o way_n and_o therefore_o few_o find_v it_o it_o be_v not_o a_o tush_o with_o thy_o mouth_n and_o a_o fillip_n with_o the_o finger_n and_o three_o word_n speak_v as_o they_o say_v at_o a_o man_n death_n that_o will_v bring_v a_o man_n to_o

the_o lord_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o shall_v have_v their_o portion_n with_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o burn_a lake_n man_n think_v it_o not_o so_o weighty_a a_o matter_n because_o they_o do_v not_o see_v in_o what_o peril_n &_o danger_n they_o stand_v in_o they_o think_v themselves_o in_o good_a case_n because_o they_o see_v a_o great_a number_n worse_o than_o they_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v do_v as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n and_o they_o be_v content_a to_o take_v part_n with_o the_o rest_n and_o because_o satan_n have_v blind_v they_o they_o think_v if_o they_o be_v void_a of_o great_a notorious_a crime_n such_o as_o be_v punish_v with_o death_n by_o the_o magistrate_n treason_n murder_n theft_n and_o such_o like_a they_o think_v god_n can_v not_o just_o condemn_v they_o

so_o he_o think_v because_o he_o be_v not_o a_o outrageous_a sinner_n his_o other_o sin_n be_v but_o small_a petty_a sin_n &_o that_o god_n must_v needs_o forgive_v and_o so_o he_o flatter_v himself_o and_o because_o he_o see_v not_o the_o danger_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o never_o care_v to_o provide_v the_o remedy_n but_o alas_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o the_o punishment_n even_o of_o the_o least_o sin_n if_o it_o be_v but_o in_o thought_n be_v the_o eternal_a curse_n of_o god_n and_o his_o everlasting_a vengeance_n the_o lord_n god_n himself_o have_v appoint_v it_o 26._o which_o can_v not_o
