man_n much_o more_o shall_v man_n humble_v himself_o for_o man_n therefore_o though_o paul_n speak_v of_o a_o matter_n wherein_o he_o may_v command_v as_o he_o say_v to_o philemon_n i_o may_v command_v thou_o yet_o as_o he_o do_v rather_o beseech_v he_o so_o he_o do_v rather_o beseech_v they_o mark_v the_o subtlety_n of_o wisdom_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o as_o the_o serpent_n do_v use_v policy_n to_o tempt_v so_o the_o preacher_n may_v use_v policy_n to_o convert_v 1._o and_o so_o paul_n win_v agrippa_n to_o believe_v by_o persuade_v he_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v 27._o it_o be_v paul_n office_n to_o teach_v the_o roman_n but_o it_o be_v paul_n policy_n to_o beseech_v the_o roman_n until_o compulsion_n need_n gentleness_n be_v better_a than_o bitterness_n lenity_n deserve_v to_o go_v first_o and_o correction_n have_v no_o place_n if_o persuasion_n will_v serve_v i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n we_o do_v not_o use_v to_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v but_o for_o our_o profit_n but_o paul_n do_v beseech_v they_o for_o their_o profit_n we_o will_v have_v other_o humble_a themselves_o to_o we_o but_o paul_n humble_v himself_o to_o his_o inferior_n to_o make_v they_o humble_v themselves_o to_o god_n here_o the_o preacher_n may_v take_v example_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gentile_n 13_o the_o love_a phrase_n be_v the_o apostle_n phrase_n and_o he_o which_o beseech_v shall_v persuade_v easy_a than_o he_o which_o thunder_v many_o have_v be_v draw_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o love_n which_o can_v never_o be_v hale_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o iron_n god_n be_v love_n and_o his_o minister_n must_v speak_v like_o love_n or_o else_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v like_o paul_n he_o which_o fish_v for_o soul_n and_o do_v not_o take_v his_o net_n shall_v fish_v all_o day_n as_o peter_n fish_v all_o night_n and_o catch_v nothing_o although_o a_o temperate_a preacher_n be_v a_o wise_a preacher_n and_o this_o be_v our_o policy_n to_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v you_o like_o paul_n 22._o yet_o you_o shall_v not_o look_v to_o be_v entreat_v like_o the_o guest_n which_o will_v not_o come_v but_o to_o be_v compel_v like_o the_o guest_n which_o come_v to_o the_o banquet_n for_o you_o must_v be_v entreat_v to_o your_o profit_n it_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o christ_n shall_v pay_v and_o pray_v the_o servant_n pray_v but_o the_o master_n command_v yet_o paul_n have_v not_o do_v his_o preparative_n he_o be_v loath_a that_o his_o suit_n shall_v take_v the_o repulse_n and_o therefore_o he_o use_v a_o mediator_n unto_o they_o and_o beseech_v they_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v a_o love_a solicitor_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v hear_v because_o it_o hear_v again_o god_n do_v entreat_v we_o by_o the_o same_o mediator_n that_o we_o entreat_v god_n we_o entreat_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n and_o god_n intreat_v we_o for_o his_o mercy_n so_o that_o mercy_n be_v like_o a_o sign_n between_o we_o which_o call_v god_n to_o hear_v we_o and_o we_o to_o hear_v he_o what_o will_v not_o a_o good_a subject_n do_v for_o a_o merciful_a prince_n many_o sweet_a thing_n be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o the_o name_n of_o mercy_n be_v the_o sweet_a word_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n which_o make_v david_n harp_n upon_o it_o 26._o time_n in_o one_o psalm_n six_o and_o twenty_o time_n he_o repeat_v this_o in_o the_o hundred_o thirty_o and_o sixth_o psalm_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v such_o a_o cheerful_a note_n in_o his_o ear_n when_o he_o strike_v upon_o mercy_n that_o like_o a_o bird_n which_o be_v teach_v to_o record_v when_o he_o have_v sing_v it_o he_o sing_v it_o again_o and_o when_o he_o have_v sing_v it_o again_o he_o record_v it_o again_o and_o make_v it_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o song_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o like_o a_o nightingale_n which_o when_o she_o be_v in_o a_o pleasant_a vain_a quaver_n and_o caper_n and_o treble_v upon_o it_o so_o do_v david_n upon_o his_o mercy_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o but_o here_o paul_n speak_v in_o the_o plural_a number_n not_o by_o the_o mercy_n but_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o plurality_n of_o god_n mercy_n his_o lesser_a mercy_n in_o his_o corporal_a blessing_n and_o his_o great_a mercy_n in_o his_o spiritual_a blessing_n his_o temporal_a mercy_n in_o earth_n and_o his_o everlasting_a mercy_n in_o heaven_n his_o prevent_a mercy_n in_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o his_o follow_a mercy_n in_o pardon_v of_o our_o sin_n 3._o how_o many_o sin_n come_v with_o adam_n and_o how_o many_o curse_n come_v with_o sin_n so_o many_o mercy_n come_v with_o christ_n to_o answer_v they_o both_o therefore_o when_o paul_n can_v not_o number_v they_o for_o multitude_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o lay_v they_o down_o together_o in_o the_o gross_a sum_n and_o in_o a_o word_n call_v they_o mercy_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o can_v number_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o less_o i_o can_v number_v they_o the_o more_o they_o be_v thus_o much_o why_o paul_n call_v they_o brethren_n and_o why_o he_o beseech_v they_o and_o why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n to_o god_n though_o he_o do_v never_o so_o much_o for_o she_o yet_o she_o be_v like_o churlish_a naball_n which_o will_v do_v nothing_o again_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n urge_v so_o to_o give_v the_o body_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v draw_v forward_o that_o which_o he_o draw_v backward_o and_o let_v the_o conversion_n begin_v where_o sin_n have_v his_o root_n if_o you_o can_v win_v the_o flesh_n which_o be_v like_o nabal_n the_o soul_n will_v come_v like_o abigail_n and_o bring_v her_o train_n with_o she_o now_o to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v give_v our_o body_n to_o god_n the_o apostle_n say_v give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n to_o god_n 13._o as_o if_o you_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o sacrifice_n in_o which_o all_o the_o member_n be_v offer_v together_o so_o you_o must_v give_v your_o member_n to_o god_n for_o the_o body_n be_v all_o all_o be_v but_o part_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o if_o you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n 8._o you_o must_v geve_v eye_n &_o ear_n &_o tongue_n &_o hand_n and_o foot_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o heart_n say_v paul_n do_v but_o believe_v because_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v therefore_o he_o add_v the_o mouth_n do_v confess_v as_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o confess_v unto_o salvation_n as_o to_o believe_v unto_o justification_n so_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o sacrifice_v the_o tongue_n as_o the_o heart_n what_o then_o be_v the_o tongue_n enough_o nay_o say_v christ_n he_o which_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v let_v he_o hear_v 15_o be_v the_o ear_n enough_o nay_o say_v david_n lift_v up_o your_o hand_n to_o his_o sanctuary_n 2._o be_v the_o hand_n enough_o nay_o say_v solomon_n let_v thy_o eye_n behold_v the_o right_n 25._o be_v the_o eye_n enough_o 27._o nay_o say_v solomon_n remove_v thy_o foot_n from_o evil_n so_o the_o word_n pass_v like_o a_o collectour_n from_o one_o member_n to_o another_o to_o gather_v tribute_n for_o god_n until_o the_o body_n have_v pay_v as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o in_o deut._n 6._o 5._o god_n command_v not_o only_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n &_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n but_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n that_o be_v if_o thou_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o he_o with_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o hand_n or_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o eye_n or_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o ear_n or_o any_o part_n else_o
to_o every_o good_a as_o we_o be_v to_o evil_n teach_v we_o to_o remember_v our_o sin_n that_o thou_o may_v forget_v they_o and_o let_v our_o sorrow_n here_o prevent_v the_o sorrow_n to_o come_v we_o be_v make_v like_o thou_o let_v not_o flesh_n and_o blood_n turn_v the_o image_n of_o god_n to_o the_o image_n of_o satan_n our_o foe_n be_v thy_o foe_n let_v not_o thy_o enemy_n prevail_v against_o thou_o to_o take_v we_o from_o thou_o but_o make_v thy_o word_n unto_o we_o like_o the_o star_n which_o lead_v unto_o christ_n make_v thy_o benefit_n like_o the_o pillar_n which_o bring_v to_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n make_v thy_o cross_n like_o the_o messenger_n which_o compel_v guest_n unto_o the_o banquet_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v before_o man_n like_o example_n and_o always_o look_v upon_o thy_o son_n how_o he_o will_v speak_v and_o do_v before_o we_o speak_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n keep_v we_o in_o that_o fear_n of_o thy_o majesty_n that_o we_o may_v make_v conscience_n of_o all_o that_o we_o do_v and_o that_o we_o may_v count_v no_o sin_n small_a but_o leave_v our_o lie_v and_o swear_v and_o surfeit_v and_o covet_v and_o boast_v and_o flaunt_v and_o inordinate_a game_n

to_o be_v speak_v of_o unto_o the_o world_n end_n too_o for_o there_o be_v three_o evilles_n in_o one_o first_o his_o practice_n be_v impudent_a because_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o traitor_n before_o he_o be_v ask_v then_o it_o be_v covetous_a because_o he_o be_v content_v to_o betray_v his_o lord_n for_o 30._o penny_n and_o last_o it_o be_v crafty_a because_o he_o betray_v he_o with_o a_o kiss_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o love_n like_o this_o traitor_n do_v all_o other_o traitor_n and_o therefore_o be_v all_o call_v judass_n that_o be_v impudent_a and_o covetous_a and_o crafty_a like_o their_o master_n the_o next_o consideration_n be_v how_o judas_n his_o repentance_n come_v upon_o he_o in_o these_o word_n when_o he_o see_v that_o jesus_n be_v condemn_v etc._n etc._n peter_n hear_v three_o crow_n before_o he_o feel_v any_o remorse_n so_o judas_n see_v his_o lord_n apprepend_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o accuse_v and_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o mock_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o buffet_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o at_o last_o he_o see_v he_o condemn_v and_o then_o say_v matthew_n he_o repent_v like_o one_o which_o slay_v his_o friend_n in_o his_o rage_n and_o sorrow_v when_o it_o be_v past_a in_o the_o sixth_o of_o genesis_n god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o god_n repent_v not_o like_a man_n so_o here_o the_o wicked_a be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o the_o wicked_a repent_v not_o like_o the_o faithful_a but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o esau_n that_o he_o seek_v repentance_n so_o they_o may_v be_v rather_o say_v to_o repent_v than_o to_o repent_v in_o deed_n for_o if_o judas_n have_v repent_v like_o peter_n he_o shall_v have_v be_v forgive_v like_o peter_n but_o to_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v well_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v one_o sin_n he_o add_v another_o to_o it_o for_o when_o he_o have_v murder_v his_o master_n he_o murder_v himself_o too_o therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o he_o repent_v i_o think_v he_o repent_v so_o as_o most_o usurer_n repent_v upon_o their_o deathbed_n there_o be_v a_o shame_n of_o sin_n &_o guilt_n of_o conscience_n &_o fear_v of_o judgement_n even_o in_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o hell_n which_o the_o wicked_a feel_v even_o as_o peace_n of_o conscience_n &_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o heaven_n which_o the_o godly_a feel_v before_o they_o come_v thither_o so_o judas_n be_v displease_v with_o the_o uglines_n of_o his_o treachery_n and_o have_v a_o misshape_a sorrow_n like_o a_o bear_n whelp_n but_o without_o any_o conversion_n to_o god_n or_o hope_v of_o mercy_n or_o prayer_n for_o pardon_n or_o purpose_n to_o amend_v only_o he_o feel_v a_o shame_n and_o guilt_n and_o anguish_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o be_v rather_o a_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n than_o a_o repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o a_o preparative_n to_o hell_n which_o he_o be_v go_v unto_o for_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o despair_n of_o mercy_n be_v sin_n &_o punishment_n for_o sin_n too_o but_o true_a repentance_n be_v such_o a_o sorrow_n for_o one_o sin_n as_o breed_v a_o dislike_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o move_v to_o pray_v and_o resolve_v to_o amend_v which_o fall_v upon_o none_o but_o the_o elect_a and_o therefore_o paul_n call_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o reprobate_n 5._o a_o heart_n which_o can_v repent_v but_o if_o the_o papist_n doctrine_n of_o repentance_n be_v true_a there_o be_v nothing_o want_v in_o judas_n repentance_n for_o in_o he_o may_v be_v find_v all_o the_o part_n of_o their_o repentance_n for_o we_o see_v in_o this_o reprobate_n contrition_n of_o heart_n confession_n of_o mouth_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o work_n which_o be_v all_o the_o papist_n repentance_n for_o contrition_n it_o be_v say_v he_o repent_v for_o confession_n he_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v for_o satisfaction_n he_o restore_v his_o money_n again_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v judas_n the_o son_n of_o perdition_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n tell_v the_o lawyer_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o judas_n tell_v the_o papist_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o their_o repentance_n that_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o a_o man_n to_o god_n &_o change_v of_o mind_n when_o a_o sinner_n renounce_v himself_o for_o shame_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o yield_v to_o righteousness_n with_o as_o great_a love_n as_o ever_o he_o love_v wickedness_n if_o judas_n have_v repent_v so_o he_o will_v rather_o have_v suffer_v pain_n like_o job_n than_o by_o unlawful_a mean_n rid_v himself_o out_o of_o pain_n like_o cain_n which_o think_v to_o prevent_v god_n judgment_n against_o he_o this_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n but_o a_o sign_n of_o despair_n therefore_o let_v every_o one_o learn_v this_o that_o so_o long_o as_o god_n mercy_n be_v great_a than_o man_n iniquity_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o despair_v but_o to_o hope_v for_o why_o do_v our_o saviour_n save_o marie_n magdalen_n which_o have_v seven_o devil_n and_o spare_v the_o thief_n which_o never_o do_v good_a but_o lest_o as_o great_a sinner_n as_o they_o shall_v despair_v of_o mercy_n if_o they_o repent_v if_o thou_o can_v knock_v his_o promise_n bind_v he_o to_o open_v therefore_o say_v not_o god_n will_v not_o give_v but_o i_o do_v not_o ask_v for_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o give_v than_o we_o to_o ask_v the_o next_o consideration_n be_v how_o judas_n restore_v his_o bribe_n again_o in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o proverbe_n 31._o solomon_n say_v the_o wicked_a shall_v

heart_n he_o be_v glad_a good_a man_n to_o see_v his_o child_n agree_v so_o well_o together_o but_o he_o will_v have_v they_o merry_a and_o sin_n not_o and_o therefore_o he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n every_o day_n while_o they_o feast_v to_o sanctify_v themselves_o he_o condemn_v not_o honest_a mirth_n and_o sober_a feast_n to_o maintain_v amity_n and_o peace_n but_o be_v thorough_o acquaint_v with_o man_n infirmity_n this_o show_v that_o he_o have_v observe_v never_o any_o feast_n so_o due_o celebrate_v but_o some_o disorder_n or_o other_o have_v creep_v in_o whereby_o god_n have_v be_v dishonour_v at_o his_o own_o table_n either_o for_o superfluity_n of_o meat_n or_o excess_n of_o drink_n or_o unchaste_a song_n or_o corrupt_a speech_n or_o wanton_a dance_n or_o unseemly_a dalliance_n the_o devil_n have_v be_v still_o at_o one_o end_n &_o be_v light_o the_o master_n of_o the_o feast_n therefore_o job_n think_v with_o himself_o it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o son_n have_v commit_v some_o escape_n like_o other_o man_n i_o can_v tell_v they_o be_v but_o man_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o slip_v when_o occasion_n be_v ready_a though_o they_o think_v not_o to_o offend_v he_o have_v no_o apparent_a cause_n to_o suspect_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o doubt_a phrase_n it_o may_v be_v that_o they_o have_v sin_v it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v fearful_a than_o too_o secure_a that_o which_o happen_v often_o in_o the_o like_a case_n he_o may_v well_o doubt_v of_o it_o though_o he_o have_v warn_v they_o before_o therefore_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o quiet_a but_o still_o this_o run_v in_o his_o mind_n all_o the_o while_o they_o feast_v it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o son_n sin_n how_o wary_a be_v job_n over_o himself_o which_o be_v so_o jealous_a over_o his_o son_n lest_o one_o sin_n shall_v slip_v from_o they_o nay_o if_o you_o mark_v he_o speak_v not_o of_o any_o open_a or_o gross_a sin_n which_o he_o fear_v but_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o sin_n in_o the_o thought_n it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o son_n have_v blaspheme_v god_n in_o their_o heart_n blasphemy_n be_v proper_o in_o the_o mouth_n when_o a_o man_n speak_v against_o god_n as_o rabshakeh_n do_v but_o job_n have_v a_o further_a respect_n to_o a_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o heart_n count_v every_o sinister_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o blasphemy_n or_o petty_a treason_n thus_o the_o penitent_a man_n do_v aggravate_v his_o sin_n and_o retch_v they_o as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n to_o make_v his_o small_a sin_n seem_v great_a sin_n that_o he_o may_v beware_v as_o well_o of_o small_a as_o great_a contrariwise_o the_o profane_a and_o carnal_a mind_a man_n do_v min●e_v and_o flatter_v and_o extenuate_v his_o sin_n as_o though_o they_o be_v no_o sin_n because_o they_o shall_v not_o trouble_v he_o for_o this_o sin_n which_o job_n call_v blasphemy_n which_o be_v the_o high_a name_n of_o sin_n the_o papist_n call_v but_o a_o venial_a sin_n that_o be_v but_o a_o sleight_n sin_n because_o it_o be_v in_o the_o thought_n so_o job_n &_o they_o differ_v in_o judgement_n now_o out_o of_o this_o speech_n of_o job_n it_o may_v be_v that_o my_o son_n have_v sin_v or_o it_o may_v be_v that_o myself_o have_v sin_v which_o i_o may_v proper_o and_o right_o term_v the_o jealousy_n of_o a_o holy_a man_n wherein_o job_n show_v in_o what_o fear_v he_o stand_v of_o his_o son_n so_o long_o as_o their_o feast_n last_v even_o as_o a_o merchant_n do_v till_o his_o ship_n come_v home_o first_o we_o may_v see_v this_o that_o the_o best_a thing_n may_v soon_o be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n such_o be_v our_o nature_n ever_o since_o adam_n choose_v evil_a before_o good_a good_a have_v be_v turn_v into_o evil_n gen._n 3._o notwithstanding_o that_o our_o intent_n and_o meaning_n be_v good_a as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o husband_n love_v his_o wife_n or_o a_o father_n love_v his_o child_n these_o be_v good_a &_o holy_a and_o commendable_a thing_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v be_v find_v that_o do_v love_v his_o wife_n or_o his_o child_n with_o that_o evenness_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o or_o just_a proportion_n but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o odds_n in_o the_o balance_n when_o his_o affection_n be_v weigh_v which_o may_v crave_v pardon_n like_o the_o feast_n of_o job_n child_n if_o this_o odds_n be_v in_o all_o our_o measure_n than_o it_o be_v no_o strange_a case_n that_o job_n think_v with_o himself_o that_o his_o child_n may_v offend_v god_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o of_o itself_o of_o fend_v not_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v in_o this_o world_n to_o remember_v still_o that_o he_o be_v among_o temptation_n and_o sit_v at_o a_o feast_n like_o job_n child_n where_o he_o may_v soon_o take_v too_o much_o if_o the_o fish_n do_v know_v the_o hook_n &_o the_o bird_n have_v see_v the_o net_n though_o they_o have_v but_o the_o

our_o riches_n as_o we_o look_v upon_o snare_n and_o behold_v our_o meat_n as_o we_o behold_v bait_n &_o handle_v our_o pleasure_n as_o we_o handle_v bee_n that_o be_v pick_v out_o the_o sting_n before_o we_o take_v the_o honey_n for_o in_o god_n gift_n satan_n have_v hide_v his_o snare_n and_o make_v god_n benefit_n his_o bait_n that_o as_o adam_n say_v the_o woman_n which_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o tempt_v i_o to_o sin_n so_o they_o may_v say_v the_o riches_n or_o the_o honour_n or_o the_o liberty_n or_o the_o wife_n or_o the_o servant_n or_o the_o child_n or_o the_o meat_n or_o the_o

as_o he_o think_v of_o his_o son_n therefore_o no_o doubt_n but_o as_o job_n think_v that_o his_o son_n may_v offend_v in_o their_o feast_n so_o he_o teach_v they_o even_o when_o they_o be_v feast_v
