be_v needful_a for_o we_o let_v we_o note_v then_o that_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o rude_a man_n which_o have_v not_o such_o wisdom_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v for_o the_o apt_a apply_v of_o the_o truth_n to_o his_o use_n the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v show_v we_o what_o we_o have_v to_o do_v when_o we_o come_v to_o reckon_v with_o god_n namely_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o every_o point_n guilty_a and_o by_o all_o mean_v bind_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o bind_v unto_o we_o and_o furthermore_o also_o that_o we_o can_v do_v he_o no_o harm_n and_o that_o when_o he_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o law_n and_o condemn_v we_o it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o own_o profit_n but_o for_o our_o saluatinon_n and_o wealth_n yea_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o even_o when_o we_o be_v condemn_v it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v afterward_o acquit_v by_o he_o lest_o we_o shall_v fall_v into_o that_o condemnation_n whereintoo_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o come_v in_o the_o end_n on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o know_v that_o when_o god_n bring_v we_o thus_o to_o judgement_n it_o be_v too_o examine_v our_o sin_n and_o too_o search_v out_o our_o whole_a life_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v displease_v with_o our_o sin_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v rip_v up_o all_o that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o think_v that_o we_o know_v what_o be_v there_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o perceive_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o it_o i_o speak_v even_o of_o they_o that_o have_v a_o clear_a sight_n and_o flatter_v not_o themselves_o nor_o foster_v any_o evil_n for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v for_o as_o much_o as_o man_n be_v dull_a and_o have_v a_o short_a and_o dim_a sight_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o perceive_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o their_o sin_n but_o god_n who_o have_v a_o far_o more_o clear_a sight_n than_o we_o have_v know_v they_o if_o we_o fall_v into_o a_o sin_n to_o day_n and_o be_v manifest_o convict_v thereof_o we_o will_v commit_v another_o by_o to_o morrow_n in_o the_o morning_n yea_o and_o the_o day_n shall_v not_o pass_v without_o a_o great_a number_n of_o offence_n and_o transgression_n and_o we_o be_v ever_o new_a to_o begin_v again_o for_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v convince_v of_o one_o fault_n only_o or_o of_o two_o or_o of_o three_o but_o of_o a_o hundred_o and_o so_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o then_o when_o a_o man_n have_v well_o examine_v his_o conscience_n and_o find_v himself_o so_o many_o way_n guilty_a and_o then_o conclude_v that_o god_n know_v yet_o a_o hundred_o time_n more_o where_o can_v he_o become_v thereupon_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o be_v astonish_v at_o it_o must_v not_o our_o hair_n stand_v upright_o upon_o our_o head_n and_o we_o be_v plunge_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o death_n thus_o much_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o this_o place_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o in_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v the_o vice_n wherewith_o we_o be_v spot_v be_v condemn_v every_o man_n must_v enter_v into_o himself_o and_o make_v his_o own_o process_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o god_n prosecute_v the_o law_n against_o he_o but_o say_v within_o himself_o alas_o i_o have_v offend_v on_o this_o wise_a and_o not_o only_o once_o nor_o twice_o but_o so_o many_o time_n and_o more_o and_o if_o i_o have_v offend_v on_o this_o wise_a there_o be_v diverse_a other_o way_n so_o that_o if_o god_n will_v turn_v up_o my_o filthiness_n what_o a_o thing_n will_v it_o be_v i_o shall_v be_v utter_o undo_v this_o i_o say_v will_v bring_v we_o to_o humility_n and_o repentance_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o slack_a as_o we_o have_v be_v too_o approach_n unto_o our_o god_n or_o at_o the_o least_o we_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o so_o stubborn_a to_o strive_v against_o his_o correction_n yea_o and_o let_v we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_a too_o do_v thus_o because_o we_o see_v the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n delight_n and_o glory_n in_o their_o sin_n and_o where_o they_o shall_v sigh_v &_o groan_v â–ª_o and_o be_v utter_o ashamed_a they_o will_v be_v count_v good_a christian_n yea_o of_o the_o perfect_a that_o may_v be_v find_v in_o deed_n they_o will_v say_v general_o i_o be_o a_o man_n and_o all_o man_n must_v confess_v themselves_o sinner_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v better_a than_o i_o i_o know_v none_o that_o have_v a_o better_a will_n to_o live_v well_o than_o i_o and_o who_o be_v they_o that_o say_v thus_o filthy_a naughtypacke_n yea_o and_o so_o filthy_a that_o the_o air_n stink_v of_o their_o wickedness_n and_o yet_o will_v they_o in_o this_o case_n make_v a_o plain_a mock_n at_o god_n now_o as_o i_o have_v say_v if_o we_o examine_v ourselves_o well_o there_o shall_v remain_v unto_o we_o nothing_o but_o utter_a confusion_n insomuch_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o guilty_a not_o for_o one_o sin_n nor_o for_o two_o â–ª_o but_o thorough_o and_o whole_o know_v that_o we_o be_v accurse_v of_o god_n and_o most_o miserable_a be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o have_v pity_n and_o compassion_n on_o we_o to_o be_v brief_a we_o be_v here_o teach_v that_o man_n must_v not_o confess_v themselves_o sinner_n before_o god_n light_o and_o as_o it_o be_v for_o fashion_n sake_n as_o they_o do_v which_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o say_v oh_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o fault_n in_o i_o no_o we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o we_o must_v make_v the_o burden_n so_o heavy_a as_o we_o can_v bear_v it_o no_o more_o for_o indeed_o so_o shall_v god_n be_v true_o glorify_v which_o be_v not_o when_o man_n say_v that_o they_o have_v some_o small_a infirmity_n and_o imperfection_n in_o they_o but_o when_o with_o david_n they_o speak_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o multitude_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o as_o daniel_n speak_v of_o it_o in_o his_o confession_n who_o be_v a_o angel_n in_o comparison_n of_o other_o man_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v i_o have_v confess_v my_o sin_n &_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o people_n he_o speak_v not_o as_o of_o some_o small_a fault_n but_o he_o say_v our_o sin_n oh_o lord_n be_v great_a and_o outrageous_a and_o so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o acknowledge_v what_o we_o be_v yea_o and_o that_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o god_n may_v be_v true_o glorify_v thorough_o and_o for_o the_o whole_a thus_o much_o for_o one_o point_n and_o what_o hope_n may_v we_o have_v that_o god_n will_v receive_v we_o and_o be_v favourable_a and_o merciful_a unto_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v our_o lord_n jesus_n say_v not_o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o say_v i_o be_o a_o sinner_n there_o be_v infirmity_n in_o i_o no_o he_o say_v not_o so_o but_o all_o you_o that_o be_v load_v and_o weary_a who_o shoulder_n do_v bend_v under_o the_o weight_n of_o your_o sin_n these_o be_v they_o that_o be_v call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n too_o the_o end_n they_o may_v find_v mercy_n in_o he_o and_o in_o his_o grace_n and_o not_o they_o that_o so_o mock_v with_o god_n make_v a_o light_a confession_n and_o be_v not_o once_o touch_v in_o their_o heart_n this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o this_o word_n furthermore_o to_o come_v to_o such_o a_o knowledge_n we_o must_v particular_o examine_v the_o sin_n we_o have_v commit_v for_o a_o man_n shall_v never_o true_o say_v i_o be_o as_o it_o be_v throw_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n unless_o he_o be_v well_o search_v out_o and_o have_v consider_v his_o sin_n and_o mark_v they_o well_o one_o after_o another_o unless_o then_o we_o do_v thus_o particular_o examine_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v never_o perceive_v our_o iniquity_n to_o be_v infinite_a and_o innumerable_a for_o this_o cause_n be_v the_o matter_n here_o couch_v in_o this_o order_n for_o eliphas_n after_o he_o have_v pronounce_v in_o general_a term_n that_o the_o sin_n of_o job_n be_v great_a and_o his_o iniquity_n infinite_a say_v have_v thou_o not_o spoil_v he_o that_o be_v naked_a have_v thou_o not_o take_v a_o pledge_n without_o a_o cause_n have_v thou_o not_o withdraw_v the_o bread_n from_o he_o that_o be_v a_o hunger_v have_v thou_o not_o deny_v he_o water_n to_o drink_v that_o be_v a_o thirst_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n be_v not_o thou_o confederate_a with_o man_n full_a of_o violence_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v now_o persecute_v thou_o it_o be_v true_a
shall_v follow_v the_o measure_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o already_o now_o we_o see_v the_o profit_n that_o redound_v too_o we_o by_o this_o doctrine_n if_o we_o can_v apply_v it_o well_o too_o our_o use_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o desire_v too_o be_v hear_v at_o god_n hand_n the_o same_o must_v not_o be_v too_o bring_v excuse_n as_o though_o we_o be_v not_o faulty_a and_o that_o we_o can_v lessen_v our_o offence_n or_o rather_o make_v they_o none_o at_o all_o but_o it_o must_v be_v too_o enter_v into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o yea_o and_o to_o enter_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v be_v utter_o throw_v down_o and_o there_o may_v be_v none_o other_o shift_n for_o we_o but_o to_o flee_v unto_o god_n goodness_n and_o that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v condemn_v our_o whole_a life_n we_o may_v notwithstanding_o not_o cease_v to_o trust_v in_o the_o mercy_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o wretched_a sinner_n when_o they_o mislike_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o condemn_v they_o desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v receive_v they_o to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o in_o what_o wise_a we_o ought_v to_o practice_v this_o say_a request_n but_o it_o be_v hear_v for_o we_o to_o attain_v to_o such_o reason_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v strain_v ourselves_o to_o it_o for_o this_o hardness_n must_v not_o put_v we_o out_o of_o heart_n but_o rather_o provoke_v we_o too_o run_v unto_o god_n pray_v he_o of_o his_o grace_n too_o touch_v we_o in_o such_o wise_n with_o his_o doctrine_n as_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o word_n we_o may_v offer_v up_o such_o request_n unto_o he_o as_o we_o may_v feel_v in_o the_o fruit_n of_o they_o our_o fault_n be_v tell_v we_o daily_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v few_o that_o think_v upon_o they_o god_n therefore_o perceive_v we_o to_o be_v so_o slow_a yea_o even_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o move_v we_o by_o his_o word_n lift_v up_o his_o hand_n and_o send_v we_o some_o chastizement_n and_o because_o that_o if_o the_o affliction_n be_v but_o small_a it_o be_v nothing_o to_o we_o we_o do_v but_o shake_v our_o ear_n at_o it_o as_o the_o proverb_n say_v god_n double_v his_o stripe_n and_o scourge_v we_o more_o and_o more_o hold_v our_o noze_n to_o the_o gryndstone_n as_o they_o say_v and_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o so_o as_o his_o spirit_n be_v as_o it_o be_v quench_v in_o we_o and_o we_o feel_v not_o that_o he_o govern_v we_o any_o more_o in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o become_v poor_a desperate_a soul_n and_o cry_v out_o alas_o what_o be_v this_o afterward_o we_o become_v so_o enrage_v that_o we_o will_v fain_o have_v god_n to_o give_v we_o some_o release_n and_o if_o he_o give_v we_o it_o not_o you_o shall_v see_v we_o utter_o past_o ourselves_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n in_o our_o state_n then_o may_v we_o well_o desire_v god_n to_o withdraw_v his_o hand_n and_o to_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o say_v alas_o lord_n thou_o see_v i_o be_o a_o silly_a creature_n i_o feel_v here_o thy_o chastisement_n which_o be_v overgreat_a consider_v my_o infirmity_n true_a it_o be_v this_o chastyzement_n be_v due_a to_o i_o yea_o and_o i_o ought_v to_o feel_v yet_o much_o more_o but_o my_o strength_n be_v so_o feeble_a and_o weak_a as_o to_o my_o seem_n i_o be_o already_o shut_v up_o in_o the_o dungeon_n of_o hell_n alas_o my_o god_n vouchsafe_v thou_o therefore_o to_o allay_v thy_o rigour_n a_o little_a that_o i_o may_v have_v leisure_n to_o take_v my_o breath_n and_o too_o bethink_v myself_o better_a than_o i_o have_v do_v when_o i_o have_v such_o a_o relief_n i_o will_v come_v to_o thou_o and_o my_o wound_n shall_v be_v assuage_v for_o i_o see_v that_o the_o very_a mean_a to_o take_v good_a by_o thy_o scourge_v be_v that_o i_o abide_v not_o unreformable_a under_o thy_o hand_n behold_v the_o goodness_n that_o god_n do_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o suffer_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o nevertheless_o when_o we_o make_v such_o request_n unto_o he_o it_o must_v be_v do_v with_o such_o condition_n as_o this_o well_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o petition_n which_o i_o make_v be_v for_o my_o necessity_n thou_o see_v i_o be_o able_a to_o bear_v no_o more_o and_o if_o thou_o prevent_v not_o the_o mischief_n i_o must_v needs_o fall_v into_o such_o a_o gulf_n of_o confusion_n as_o i_o shall_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o again_o nevertheless_o lord_n i_o refer_v myself_o whole_o unto_o thou_o thou_o know_v what_o be_v meet_v and_o convenient_a for_o i_o and_o thou_o be_v able_a to_o remedy_v the_o extremity_n wherein_o i_o be_o according_a as_o thou_o haste_v infinite_a mean_n to_o pluck_v thy_o servant_n even_o out_o of_o death_n now_o than_o if_o we_o add_v this_o condition_n god_n do_v well_o suffer_v we_o to_o make_v such_o request_n yea_o and_o he_o will_v like_v well_o of_o it_o lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o sentence_n but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o job_n be_v so_o far_o oversee_v as_o too_o bear_v himself_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v faultless_a and_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o enter_v into_o law_n with_o god_n and_o to_o plead_v against_o he_o ween_v that_o he_o shall_v get_v the_o better_a hand_n let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o job_n be_v sot_v with_o such_o a_o folly_n what_o then_o we_o must_v think_v that_o he_o speak_v without_o advisement_n as_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o do_v when_o our_o affection_n overmaster_v we_o for_o we_o have_v our_o eye_n so_o blear_v as_o we_o discern_v nothing_o at_o all_o as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v beside_o himself_o for_o greese_z and_o anguish_n as_o he_o know_v not_o himself_o any_o more_o some_o light_a word_n will_v escape_v from_o he_o and_o if_o he_o be_v tell_v of_o it_o he_o will_v answer_v it_o be_v not_o so_o yet_o be_v it_o true_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v speak_v they_o yea_o but_o it_o shall_v not_o seem_v so_o too_o his_o own_o understanding_n because_o his_o wit_n be_v trouble_v and_o confound_v for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v our_o passion_n carry_v we_o away_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n beside_o ourselves_o in_o that_o case_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n cease_v not_o to_o maintain_v always_o a_o knowledge_n in_o we_o the_o which_o shall_v notwithstanding_o be_v as_o good_a as_o choke_v when_o a_o man_n cover_v a_o fire_n with_o ash_n and_o earth_n if_o there_o be_v a_o great_a coal_n in_o it_o it_o will_v lie_v hide_v underneath_o and_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o see_v any_o thing_n nor_o perceive_v any_o heat_n even_o so_o do_v god_n sometime_o suffer_v all_o discretion_n too_o be_v as_o it_o be_v choke_v in_o we_o and_o in_o that_o case_n we_o see_v nothing_o but_o the_o ash_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o passion_n that_o be_v uppermost_a and_o we_o see_v some_o steam_n but_o the_o fire_n show_v not_o itself_o at_o all_o even_o so_o then_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o we_o and_o when_o job_n make_v this_o protestation_n he_o feel_v himself_o in_o such_o extremity_n that_o he_o seek_v mean_n too_o come_v before_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o first_o that_o shall_v speak_v let_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o speak_v this_o as_o a_o man_n utter_o rave_v in_o his_o fit_n see_v the_o case_n be_v such_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v always_o in_o humility_n and_o let_v we_o be_v well_o ware_a that_o our_o affection_n do_v not_o carry_v we_o away_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o we_o know_v not_o what_o we_o do_v or_o say_v lo_o here_o a_o sentence_n that_o be_v very_o profitable_a and_o full_a of_o good_a learning_n for_o first_o of_o all_o we_o see_v that_o our_o affection_n be_v like_o wild_a beast_n which_o dash_n we_o against_o god_n but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o rush_v at_o he_o and_o what_o shall_v we_o win_v by_o it_o be_v we_o hard_a than_o he_o be_v we_o able_a too_o make_v he_o to_o bow_v or_o else_o too_o break_v he_o alas_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v crush_a and_o break_a in_o piece_n when_o we_o rush_v against_o he_o so_o furious_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o he_o will_v overthrow_v we_o with_o his_o blast_n he_o need_v but_o his_o breath_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v to_o destroy_v we_o undo_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o to_o nought_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o passion_n must_v be_v repress_v

be_v plunge_v and_o although_o we_o hear_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o that_o his_o voice_n be_v but_o a_o sound_n which_o disperse_v and_o vanish_v in_o the_o air_n yet_o must_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v work_v in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o power_n that_o the_o say_a doctrine_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a too_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v and_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v pass_v out_o of_o the_o bond_n of_o satan_n and_o be_v set_v clear_a before_o god_n and_o this_o say_n namely_o what_o so_o ever_o you_o lose_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v lose_a also_o in_o heaven_n can_v fail_v we_o and_o so_o we_o see_v of_o what_o importance_n this_o word_n be_v where_o it_o be_v say_v deliver_v the_o sinner_n or_o set_v the_o sinner_n free_a for_o when_o god_n give_v express_v charge_n to_o such_o as_o speak_v unto_o we_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o death_n that_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o paradise_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o his_o voice_n sound_v from_o heaven_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n saint_n james_n speak_v of_o private_a person_n say_v that_o he_o which_o warn_v his_o brother_n shall_v

have_v the_o special_a zeal_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v to_o his_o word_n at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o same_o be_v preach_v to_o we_o by_o the_o shepherd_n of_o his_o

have_v allege_v out_o of_o saint_n matthew_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v what_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v when_o we_o receive_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n from_o heaven_n too_o pull_v we_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o this_o be_v not_o do_v but_o by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o the_o pope_n for_o the_o pope_n uphold_v that_o he_o and_o his_o chaplain_n have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o office_n of_o forgive_a but_o what_o commission_n can_v they_o show_v for_o it_o for_o they_o tie_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o shrift_n and_o where_o do_v god_n ever_o tell_v man_n that_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o shrive_v they_o of_o all_o their_o secret_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o mortal_a man_n too_o obtain_v mercy_n god_n declare_v that_o if_o the_o sinner_n sigh_v for_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o he_o but_o behold_v a_o mortal_a creature_n presume_v to_o make_v a_o law_n and_o to_o shut_v man_n out_o of_o paradyse_n if_o they_o observe_v it_o not_o be_v not_o that_o a_o notorious_a usurp_n of_o god_n power_n beside_o this_o the_o pope_n have_v his_o bulle●_n indulgence_n pardon_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n too_o ground_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n upon_o and_o therewithal_o he_o mingle_v the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n as_o he_o that_o mean_v express_o too_o deface_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v nothing_o but_o toy_n ceremony_n sorcery_n great_a cross_n upon_o the_o back_n and_o such_o other_o trash_n which_o in_o conclusion_n be_v nothing_o but_o satan_n gewgaw_n but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n without_o god_n message_n that_o be_v too_o say_v without_o preach_v and_o doctrine_n when_o the_o pope_n forgive_v sin_n he_o be_v dumb_a he_o bring_v not_o one_o jot_n of_o god_n word_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o thing_n but_o charm_n and_o sorcery_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o moreover_o he_o lay_v tyrannous_a law_n upon_o man_n neck_n to_o overthrow_v the_o mean_a which_o our_o lord_n have_v ordain_v again_o he_o abridge_v god_n himself_o of_o his_o liberty_n and_o there_o be_v no_o let_v in_o he_o to_o disappoint_v god_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o receive_v sinner_n to_o mercy_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v the_o devil_n synagogue_n destitute_a of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o damn_v so_o long_o as_o it_o hold_v itself_o too_o the_o tradition_n of_o antechrist_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o say_v that_o man_n sin_n be_v forgive_v they_o by_o receive_v the_o message_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o same_o have_v not_o to_o do_v with_o the_o ceremony_n that_o man_n have_v devise_v nor_o with_o the_o law_n which_o they_o have_v invent_v at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o only_o that_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o order_n and_o rule_v which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v establish_v who_o have_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o hand_n he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o mean_a whereby_o he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v which_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o with_o assure_a faith_n therefore_o if_o we_o stick_v to_o that_o simplicity_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o commission_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o man_n take_v not_o ne_o usurp_v not_o any_o thing_n upon_o they_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o the_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v pity_v he_o and_o deliver_v he_o then_o must_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o come_v from_o above_o and_o none_o but_o god_n only_o must_v work_v in_o this_o behalf_n by_o his_o free_a goodness_n according_a also_o as_o he_o himself_o protest_v by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v i_o be_o he_o i_o myself_o be_o he_o which_o wipe_v out_o thine_o iniquity_n oh_o israel_n then_o must_v such_o a_o benefit_n needs_o proceed_v from_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o creature_n too_o give_v it_o unto_o we_o now_o we_o see_v what_o substance_n there_o be_v in_o this_o text_n so_o it_o be_v well_o understand_v and_o immediate_o after_o it_o be_v say_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o soul_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o pit_n we_o have_v see_v already_o heretofore_o that_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v near_o to_o the_o grave_n and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o dead_a and_o consume_v so_o long_o as_o god_n pursue_v they_o with_o rigour_n but_o now_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n prevent_v that_o mischief_n by_o send_v the_o say_a message_n of_o the_o release_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o grave_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o perish_v not_o for_o the_o case_n here_o stand_v not_o only_o upon_o temporal_a death_n but_o upon_o damnation_n wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o overwhelm_v if_o god_n do_v not_o prevent_v it_o and_o preserve_v we_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o while_o we_o be_v afflict_v we_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o

work_v in_o that_o behalf_n although_o we_o can_v conceive_v it_o and_o undoubted_o when_o we_o begin_v too_o take_v hold_v of_o his_o goodness_n by_o faith_n we_o must_v not_o lay_v the_o first_o point_n of_o our_o salvation_n there_o but_o we_o must_v mount_v up_o high_a namely_o that_o he_o choose_v we_o before_o we_o be_v bear_v
&_o to_o drown_v they_o in_o the_o deep_a of_o hell_n because_o they_o can_v not_o make_v their_o profit_n of_o it_o nevertheless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n provoke_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o exhortation_n that_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o here_o wherefore_o let_v we_o fight_v against_o the_o pride_n and_o hypocrisy_n that_o be_v in_o we_o for_o they_o be_v the_o two_o thing_n which_o keep_v we_o from_o humble_v of_o ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o from_o confess_v of_o our_o fault_n before_o man_n hypocrisy_n make_v we_o to_o labour_v continual_o to_o cloak_v our_o sin_n &_o to_o pretend_v to_o give_v ourselves_o unto_o goodness_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n our_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o it_o and_o we_o go_v the_o clean_a contrary_a way_n and_o again_o pride_n make_v we_o to_o desire_v always_o to_o be_v in_o good_a reputation_n alas_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v esteem_v among_o man_n or_o at_o leastwise_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o reproach_n and_o although_o we_o know_v our_o own_o sin_n yet_o be_v we_o loath_a to_o be_v tell_v of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n behold_v our_o condemnation_n increase_v and_o double_v before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o tame_a this_o pride_n until_o it_o be_v full_o subdue_v so_o as_o we_o may_v come_v to_o our_o god_n with_o all_o humility_n and_o not_o only_o confess_v our_o wretchedness_n before_o he_o but_o also_o endeavour_n too_o edify_v our_o neighbour_n if_o a_o man_n demand_v for_o what_o cause_n we_o shall_v speak_v so_o before_o man_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n may_v be_v know_v too_o be_v only_o righteous_a as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o that_o his_o grace_n may_v appear_v and_o shine_v forth_o although_o god_n can_v forbear_v our_o confession_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v have_v it_o open_o and_o manifest_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o his_o debt_n and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o know_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o utter_o cast_v down_o and_o even_o at_o the_o point_n of_o despair_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o we_o ought_v too_o confess_v before_o our_o neighbour_n the_o goodness_n that_o we_o have_v feel_v at_o god_n hand_n in_o that_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o death_n and_o from_o the_o destruction_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v also_o there_o be_v a_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o other_o man_n shall_v be_v edify_v by_o our_o example_n i_o have_v be_v exercise_v in_o affliction_n and_o god_n have_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o it_o it_o be_v good_a that_o other_o shall_v know_v of_o it_o that_o when_o god_n shall_v afflict_v they_o they_o may_v think_v with_o themselves_o behold_v god_n hand_n be_v upon_o i_o and_o he_o summon_v i_o and_o why_o for_o i_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drunken_a in_o my_o sin_n i_o be_v as_o a_o stray_n beast_n and_o now_o i_o see_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o draw_v i_o home_o and_o to_o set_v i_o into_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n again_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v warn_v of_o god_n work_v which_o we_o have_v feel_v in_o ourselves_o according_a as_o we_o see_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o the_o confession_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v make_v in_o time_n past_a do_v serve_v at_o this_o day_n for_o our_o learning_n if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o example_n of_o david_n in_o the_o great_a number_n of_o affliction_n which_o he_o feel_v and_o overcome_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o feel_v any_o small_a adversity_n we_o shall_v forthwith_o be_v at_o the_o point_n of_o despair_n but_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o issue_v be_v good_a and_o profitable_a unto_o david_n and_o that_o he_o confess_v it_o too_o have_v be_v a_o necessary_a thing_n for_o he_o too_o be_v so_o afflict_v and_o chastise_v at_o god_n hand_n we_o also_o do_v trust_n in_o god_n and_o flee_v unto_o he_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n too_o raise_v man_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n when_o he_o have_v cast_v they_o into_o it_o so_o then_o when_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o report_v how_o god_n have_v visit_v we_o with_o rigour_n for_o a_o time_n and_o afterward_o quicken_v we_o again_o it_o serve_v to_o instruct_v our_o neighbour_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v novice_n nor_o think_v it_o strange_a when_o god_n shall_v visit_v they_o in_o their_o turn_n and_o that_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n and_o seek_v the_o remedy_n of_o it_o by_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v more_o and_o more_o stir_v up_o too_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n by_o experience_n in_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v they_o so_o to_o mercy_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v here_o be_v not_o unprofitable_a for_o a_o hundred_o be_v edify_v and_o instruct_v by_o the_o example_n of_o one_o man_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o put_v away_o retchlessness_n when_o our_o lord_n shall_v have_v show_v we_o any_o favour_n so_o as_o we_o may_v magnify_v his_o goodness_n before_o man_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v preach_v with_o one_o common_a accord_n and_o afterward_o it_o be_v say_v for_o a_o conclusion_n he_o have_v deliver_v my_o soul_n from_o the_o pit_n and_o my_o life_n from_o enter_v into_o the_o grave_n true_o this_o can_v be_v thorough_o dispatch_v as_o now_o but_o it_o must_v suffice_v we_o to_o have_v a_o short_a abridgement_n of_o it_o as_o need_n require_v for_o the_o join_n of_o this_o part_n too_o that_o with_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o discourse_n have_v be_v make_v of_o the_o confess_v of_o sin_n how_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o condemn_v themselves_o &_o that_o afterward_o it_o behove_v they_o immediate_o to_o add_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n in_o that_o they_o have_v know_v his_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v turn_v away_o from_o goodness_n yea_o and_o it_o have_v not_o boot_v i_o at_o all_o but_o my_o god_n have_v draw_v i_o out_o of_o the_o pit_n then_o assoon_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o wretchedness_n &_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o he_o will_v have_v we_o immediate_o to_o preach_v god_n mercy_n according_a as_o we_o have_v feel_v it_o how_o he_o suffer_v we_o not_o to_o perish_v as_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o help_v we_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v here_o unto_o sinner_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n they_o to_o resist_v their_o maker_n then_o what_o shall_v we_o gain_v when_o we_o hide_v our_o sin_n and_o think_v not_o upon_o they_o but_o rather_o nourish_v they_o by_o fond_a selfelyke_v alas_o alas_o it_o be_v always_o too_o our_o great_a destruction_n but_o when_o god_n discover_v our_o iniquity_n and_o make_v we_o too_o feel_v they_o them_z do_v he_o procure_v our_o profit_n for_o therein_o he_o provoke_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o strain_v and_o further_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o when_o god_n shake_v we_o off_o and_o lay_v our_o wickedness_n too_o our_o charge_n there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o we_o must_v be_v forlorn_a until_o our_o god_n be_v pitiful_a to_o we_o and_o receive_v we_o too_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o whensoever_o god_n forgive_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o raise_v we_o from_o death_n so_o as_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n then_o have_v he_o wrought_v a_o resurrection_n in_o us._n we_o be_v dead_a and_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o life_n in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o and_o he_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o make_v we_o alive_a again_o and_o too_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o magnify_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v raise_v we_o to_o life_n as_o often_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o satan_n cease_v not_o to_o thrust_v we_o from_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n let_v we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o inflame_v and_o provoke_v to_o exalt_v it_o high_o as_o it_o deserve_v now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o

there_o shall_v some_o fear_n of_o god_n lie_v hide_v in_o they_o which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o choke_v well_o then_o such_o manner_n of_o folk_n have_v more_o simplicity_n than_o craftiness_n and_o

that_o those_o who_o god_n have_v leave_v at_o that_o point_n shall_v ever_o return_v to_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o hold_v ourselves_o strait_o

some_o translate_v it_o hell_n and_o whereas_o i_o have_v translate_v open_a it_o be_v before_o they_o or_o in_o their_o sight_n and_o so_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o job_n mean_v too_o say_v

it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a point_n and_o to_o be_v short_a the_o very_a meaning_n of_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v teach_v we_o here_o by_o job_n be_v that_o if_o man_n

fear_n and_o obey_v god_n be_v man_n of_o right_a understanding_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o thing_n whereupon_o we_o must_v set_v our_o mind_n and_o not_o upon_o wander_a speculation_n this_o will_v be_v the_o easy_a to_o understand_v if_o we_o add_v one_o other_o goodly_a text_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n in_o the_o .33_o chapter_n there_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o true_a reformation_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v before_o the_o scatter_n and_o destruction_n thereof_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v to_o be_v turn_v upside_o down_o as_o then_o shall_v come_v to_o their_o state_n again_o in_o the_o time_n of_o ezechias_n very_o inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n treat_v there_o of_o the_o perfection_n which_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o say_v that_o steadfastness_n strength_n and_o salvation_n shall_v be_v the_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o time_n of_o ezechias_n and_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v his_o treasure_n here_o we_o see_v how_o the_o prophet_n declare_v that_o where_o god_n be_v not_o know_v there_o all_o thing_n must_v go_v to_o havoc_n and_o utter_a desolation_n like_a as_o it_o be_v also_o say_v in_o another_o text_n where_o the_o prophet_n complain_v that_o all_o be_v turn_v upside_o down_o because_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n and_o man_n be_v give_v over_o to_o all_o evil_a and_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n when_o man_n abuse_v themselves_o wilful_o after_o that_o sort_n if_o god_n give_v they_o over_o to_o a_o lewd_a mind_n so_o as_o they_o be_v no_o more_o ashamed_a to_o cast_v themselves_o into_o so_o outrageous_a and_o heinous_a thing_n as_o be_v even_o loathsome_a to_o the_o world_n you_o see_v then_o why_o the_o same_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o the_o people_n be_v carry_v into_o destruction_n because_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n in_o the_o text_n which_o we_o have_v allege_v he_o show_v that_o when_o the_o church_n be_v set_v in_o her_o

shall_v say_v that_o the_o church_n can_v otherwise_o stand_v in_o good_a case_n than_o if_o man_n be_v teach_v pure_o to_o know_v what_o be_v for_o their_o profit_n and_o here_o it_o be_v too_o be_v see_v what_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v for_o they_o have_v pomp_n enough_o and_o we_o see_v also_o that_o they_o dare_v as_o it_o be_v face_n god_n with_o a_o devilish_a pride_n and_o strain_v no_o

truth_n and_o doctrine_n and_o that_o they_o carry_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o their_o sleeve_n and_o hold_v god_n lock_v up_o between_o their_o wall_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o what_o manner_n

conclude_v that_o all_o the_o building_n of_o god_n church_n be_v overthrow_v by_o they_o and_o put_v to_o horrible_a confusion_n and_o why_o for_o they_o want_v the_o wisdom_n which_o the_o prophet_n

to_o say_v and_o now_o remain_v to_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o instruction_n and_o how_o first_o of_o all_o by_o know_v our_o own_o slenderness_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n take_v so_o high_o upon_o they_o to_o seek_v and_o search_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o nothing_o may_v escape_v they_o but_o because_o they_o think_v themselves_o able_a enough_o too_o find_v out_o all_o thing_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v thorough_o well_o tame_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o challenge_v nothing_o to_o himself_o he_o will_v be_v no_o more_o so_o proud_a and_o lofty_a to_o search_v god_n secret_n to_o far_o out_o of_o measure_n so_o then_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v take_v profit_n of_o this_o text_n special_o first_o let_v we_o humble_v ourselves_o yea_o even_n by_o acknowledge_v that_o our_o understanding_n be_v to_o small_a and_o gross_a mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o consider_v also_o that_o god_n secret_a judgement_n be_v a_o dreadful_a dungeon_n that_o his_o way_n be_v incomprehensible_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o wade_v to_o far_o in_o they_o but_o must_v content_v themselves_o with_o that_o which_o he_o declare_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v be_v that_o when_o we_o think_v upon_o the_o highness_n of_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v ravish_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o it_o &_o conclude_v that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v upon_o we_o to_o be_v able_a to_o know_v &_o comprehend_v all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o for_o whither_o be_v that_o to_o go_v we_o creep_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n &_o we_o know_v that_o he_o far_o surmount_v the_o heaven_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o honour_v his_o secret_a judgement_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o will_v always_o have_v authority_n to_o speak_v &_o utter_v what_o he_o list_v maugre_o all_o they_o that_o speak_v against_o he_o yea_o &_o that_o when_o he_o speak_v once_o or_o twice_o that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o he_o show_v his_o pleasure_n and_o will_n man_n shall_v know_v nothing_o of_o it_o because_o they_o be_v to_o rude_a to_o conceive_v the_o thing_n in_o one_o word_n which_o god_n have_v determine_v in_o his_o purpose_n but_o shall_v daily_o see_v one_o thing_n &_o yet_o not_o withstand_v be_v new_a to_o seek_v of_o it_o yea_o &_o still_o dazzle_v at_o it_o even_o at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o year_n or_o ten_o &_o although_o they_o have_v see_v one_o thing_n often_o yet_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v hide_v from_o they_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o pride_n that_o be_v in_o we_o it_o be_v sufficient_o confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o experience_n that_o we_o never_o come_v to_o any_o reason_n but_o by_o compulsion_n &_o that_o we_o will_v always_o needs_o be_v selfwise_o even_o though_o our_o ignorance_n show_v itself_o enough_o &_o to_o much_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o text_n that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o determination_n as_o it_o be_v bury_v &_o hide_v we_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o daily_o &_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v save_v that_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n &_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o bridle_v ourselves_o in_o wait_v till_o our_o lord_n revele_v it_o in_o great_a perfection_n which_o shall_v not_o be_v till_o we_o be_v bereave_v of_o this_o mortal_a flesh_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o and_o according_a to_o the_o article_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o let_v we_o note_v also_o that_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o judgement_n which_o god_n will_v have_v hide_v because_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o behoof_n to_o have_v full_a knowledge_n of_o they_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the._n 62._o psalm_n that_o god_n speak_v once_o &_o david_n protest_v that_o he_o will_v bear_v it_o twice_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v might_n &_o mercy_n in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o treat_v of_o god_n wonderful_a judgement_n as_o there_o be_v here_o of_o what_o then_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o learn_v by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v bring_v to_o our_o remembrance_n &_o set_v before_o we_o continual_o for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n god_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o mighty_a power_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v fear_v he_o &_o walk_n according_a to_o his_o will_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o give_v we_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v take_v comfort_n &_o joy_n at_o it_o what_o learn_v we_o daily_o by_o god_n word_n but_o that_o he_o be_v the_o master_n to_o who_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a &_o that_o we_o must_v not_o live_v after_o our_o own_o lust_n but_o that_o god_n must_v reign_v over_o we_o &_o his_o law_n be_v a_o bridle_n that_o we_o may_v be_v teach_v under_o it_o thus_o the_o first_o point_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o know_v what_o he_o require_v &_o allow_v the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n &_o saviour_n to_o the_o end_n to_o put_v our_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v he_o by_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o mere_a mercy_n know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o damnation_n in_o we_o and_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v draw_v we_o out_o of_o death_n through_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o as_o concern_v this_o second_o point_n the_o two_o thing_n wherein_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v confirm_v be_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o he_o for_o resuge_a and_o also_o that_o forsomuch_o as_o his_o mercy_n be_v set_v before_o we_o daily_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o so_o then_o this_o text_n of_o david_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v keep_v hide_v from_o our_o knowledge_n but_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o teach_v we_o therefore_o he_o say_v god_n have_v speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n have_v so_o manifest_v his_o will_n in_o his_o speak_n as_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o doubt_v any_o more_o nor_o to_o reply_v against_o that_o which_o he_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v it_o twice_o say_v he_o herein_o he_o betoken_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v hear_v god_n at_o a_o glance_n but_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o mind_v the_o thing_n without_o cease_v which_o he_o speak_v and_o although_o he_o speak_v but_o once_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o let_v his_o doctrine_n slip_v but_o settle_v it_o thorough_o in_o our_o remembrance_n and_o learn_v to_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o think_v upon_o it_o early_o and_o late_o because_o our_o memory_n be_v short_a so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o faithful_a to_o apply_v themselves_o thorough_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n show_v they_o by_o his_o word_n and_o to_o set_v their_o whole_a mind_n upon_o it_o assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o tell_v and_o promise_v they_o for_o their_o welfare_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n howbeit_o heerewithall_o let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o seek_v any_o further_a and_o let_v we_o not_o covet_v to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v by_o learning_n in_o his_o school_n and_o if_o he_o reserve_v any_o secret_a judgement_n to_o himself_o let_v we_o be_v ignorant_a in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v know_v unto_o we_o until_o he_o have_v take_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o for_o example_n it_o be_v say_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n govern_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o providence_n and_o eliu_n speak_v too_o the_o same_o purpose_n here_o you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n
and_o that_o from_o thence_o forth_o he_o continue_v his_o goodness_n always_o towards_o we_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n of_o his_o own_o goodness_n choose_v we_o after_o a_o secret_a manner_n incomprehensible_a too_o our_o natural_a understanding_n again_o when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o manifest_v his_o goodness_n unto_o we_o which_o thing_n he_o do_v when_o his_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o he_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v we_o deliver_v from_o the_o grave_n therefore_o we_o perceive_v our_o deliverance_n and_o salvation_n when_o we_o taste_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o his_o gospel_n not_o that_o it_o be_v do_v thorough_o at_o the_o first_o but_o god_n give_v we_o some_o small_a taste_n of_o it_o confirm_v the_o same_o more_o and_o more_o in_o we_o until_o we_o see_v the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n wide_o open_a and_o that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o grave_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o say_n furthermore_o when_o eliu_n say_v that_o god_n have_v find_v reconciliation_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o he_o intend_v here_o to_o express_v yet_o better_a the_o thing_n that_o he_o touch_v even_o now_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v father_n the_o atonement_n which_o god_n make_v with_o we_o upon_o god_n own_o free_a goodness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o work_v yea_o even_o before_o we_o can_v have_v any_o thought_n or_o mind_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o for_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o seek_v we_o when_o we_o be_v go_v astray_o and_o have_v forget_v he_o according_a too_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v often_o command_v to_o seek_v god_n and_o to_o turn_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o have_v offend_v but_o what_o for_o that_o it_o can_v be_v do_v except_o he_o teach_v we_o inward_o and_o touch_v we_o so_o to_o the_o quick_a as_o we_o may_v be_v enforce_v to_o mislike_v of_o our_o sin_n again_o who_o be_v he_o that_o give_v we_o any_o hope_n or_o that_o cause_v we_o to_o run_v unto_o god_n for_o refuge_n be_v it_o not_o he_o himself_o by_o inlyghten_v we_o with_o faith_n so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o eliu_n add_v that_o god_n find_v reconciliation_n and_o why_o for_o when_o he_o afflict_v we_o he_o prepare_v we_o aforehand_o too_o receive_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o give_v we_o for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n god_n goodness_n have_v no_o entrance_n into_o we_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v harden_v in_o our_o sin_n we_o beat_v back_o the_o say_v grace_v a_o great_a way_n from_o we_o and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v sape_v in_o our_o filthiness_n sure_o we_o can_v taste_v of_o the_o reconciliation_n which_o be_v make_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o work_v here_o &_o the_o work_n must_v be_v altogether_o he_o and_o how_o work_v he_o first_o by_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o hartbyte_n which_o he_o give_v we_o according_a as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o that_o he_o send_v we_o inward_a fear_n as_o if_o he_o sound_v a_o trumpet_n to_o summon_v we_o to_o his_o judgement_n you_o see_v they_o that_o god_n call_v we_o home_o to_o he_o by_o secret_a inspiration_n when_o he_o see_v we_o go_v astray_o and_o distraught_a and_o beside_o this_o he_o appoint_v man_n to_o warn_v we_o and_o to_o reprove_v we_o and_o sure_o that_o be_v another_o great_a benefit_n when_o we_o have_v good_a and_o faithful_a teacher_n that_o show_v we_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o quick_a and_o threaten_v we_o with_o everlasting_a damnation_n furthermore_o if_o this_o suffice_v not_o as_o we_o see_v that_o we_o be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n and_o god_n have_v need_v to_o kick_v &_o prick_v we_o more_o rough_o he_o add_v the_o correctious_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o afflict_v we_o and_o here_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o correction_n to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o like_o stithy_n to_o beat_v back_o the_o stroke_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v only_a god_n work_v who_o to_o bring_v that_o to_o pass_v give_v we_o heart_n of_o flesh_n and_o

there_o follow_v no_o amendment_n for_o all_o that_o ever_o a_o man_n can_v say_v and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v god_n to_o work_v in_o that_o behalf_n and_o again_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v

behold_v the_o acceptable_a time_n behold_v the_o day_n of_o salvation_n and_o why_o do_v he_o term_v the_o time_n of_o salvation_n a_o acceptable_a time_n because_o god_n have_v chozen_v it_o of_o

of_o sin_n be_v that_o when_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n know_v that_o god_n have_v not_o shake_v he_o off_o but_o as_o yet_o open_v he_o the_o way_n and_o give_v he_o access_n too_o come_v unto_o he_o like_a as_o he_o rest_v thereupon_o too_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o afterward_o make_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n available_a so_o also_o it_o behove_v he_o too_o confess_v the_o say_a goodness_n of_o

have_v send_v we_o the_o promise_n of_o his_o gospel_n we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v they_o and_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o so_o also_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mourn_v before_o man_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v pray_v to_o god_n privy_o by_o himself_o but_o it_o behove_v we_o also_o to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o endeavour_n to_o provoke_v our_o neighbour_n too_o the_o same_o so_o as_o one_o of_o we_o may_v be_v edify_v by_o another_o and_o he_o that_o have_v feel_v how_o good_a and_o merciful_a god_n be_v must_v show_v it_o unto_o other_o that_o they_o may_v take_v example_n at_o it_o and_o when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o agreement_n amongst_o we_o we_o must_v also_o preach_v god_n praise_n together_o according_a as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n which_o may_v not_o just_o confess_v that_o god_n have_v a_o hundred_o time_n pluck_v he_o out_o of_o his_o grave_n and_o quicken_v he_o you_o see_v they_o in_o effect_n what_o the_o mean_a of_o eliu_n be_v howbeit_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a profit_n by_o this_o sentence_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o first_o to_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o and_o they_o to_o go_v unto_o god_n &_o afterward_o to_o go_v unto_o our_o neighbour_n thus_o you_o see_v three_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n and_o it_o be_v a_o order_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o keep_v well_o the_o first_o be_v that_o man_n shall_v examine_v their_o own_o conscience_n &_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o their_o whole_a life_n and_o why_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o sin_n for_o until_o we_o have_v well_o perceive_v that_o we_o be_v worse_o than_o wretched_a how_o will_v we_o have_v recourse_n unto_o god_n we_o will_v not_o be_v move_v to_o seek_v he_o nor_o to_o desire_v forgiveness_n so_o than_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o too_o begin_v at_o the_o say_a point_n namely_o too_o feel_v our_o sin_n how_o grievous_a they_o be_v and_o also_o too_o feel_v and_o conceive_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v forlorn_a and_o behold_v hell_n as_o it_o be_v gape_v upon_o we_o to_o swallow_v we_o up_o and_o be_v so_o utter_o astonish_v as_o we_o may_v be_v drive_v to_o say_v alas_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v so_o that_o we_o may_v have_v no_o rest_n in_o ourselves_o but_o languish_v so_o in_o our_o misery_n as_o we_o may_v come_v with_o a_o earnest_a zeal_n too_o seek_v the_o lord_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o step_n that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o god_n and_o see_v he_o tarry_v not_o till_o we_o seek_v he_o but_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n prevent_v we_o in_o somuch_o that_o he_o inspire_v we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v seek_v he_o and_o flee_v for_o refuge_n unto_o his_o mercy_n &_o there_o rest_v when_o we_o have_v any_o promise_n of_o his_o goodness_n set_v afore_o we_o see_v that_o he_o seek_v sinner_n to_o bring_v they_o from_o death_n to_o life_n we_o must_v take_v those_o promise_n and_o apply_v they_o too_o our_o use_n say_v even_o so_o my_o god_n thou_o show_v that_o thou_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v sinner_n too_o mercy_n behold_v i_o be_o one_o yea_o and_o i_o be_o so_o forlorn_a as_o i_o wot_v not_o any_o more_o what_o too_o do_v therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o lord_n but_o thou_o will_v make_v i_o feel_v they_o grace_n and_o goodness_n so_o lord_n there_o will_v i_o rest_v and_o although_o i_o be_v hem_v in_o with_o many_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n which_o be_v able_a to_o turn_v i_o from_o thou_o yet_o will_v i_o rest_v upon_o thy_o promise_n and_o therewith_o call_v upon_o thou_o assure_v myself_o that_o thou_o will_v strengthen_v i_o against_o all_o satan_n temptation_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o deal_v the_o three_o point_n be_v the_o conclusion_n that_o eliu_n make_v here_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v declare_v god_n goodness_n to_o our_o neighbour_n so_o farforth_o as_o be_v needful_a to_o their_o edify_n that_o he_o may_v be_v praise_v with_o one_o accord_n and_o that_o all_o man_n may_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o welfare_n but_o in_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n remedy_n it_o not_o these_o say_v i_o be_v the_o three_o degree_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o keep_v but_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o ourselves_o and_o why_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o which_o will_v blaze_v abroad_o god_n praise_n with_o full_a mouth_n but_o they_o have_v not_o well_o foremynd_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v which_o think_v themselves_o discharge_v when_o they_o have_v say_v oh_o my_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o i_o i_o have_v be_v such_o a_o one_o i_o have_v do_v such_o a_o evil_a deed_n true_a it_o be_v that_o such_o man_n have_v some_o feel_n in_o themselves_o and_o speak_v not_o altogether_o through_o hypocrisy_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v much_o wind_n in_o they_o and_o their_o mouth_n be_v large_a than_o their_o heart_n for_o scarce_o have_v they_o taste_v of_o god_n mercy_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o have_v feel_v it_o thorough_o and_o that_o they_o be_v full_o fraught_v with_o it_o but_o there_o be_v vanity_n and_o ambition_n in_o such_o man_n when_o they_o wyden_v their_o mouth_n after_o that_o sort_n too_o speak_v well_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v not_o mind_v god_n grace_n too_o feel_v it_o according_o that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o imprint_v in_o their_o conscience_n and_o they_o themselves_o be_v right_o nourish_v with_o it_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o before_o we_o speak_v it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v consider_v well_o what_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o have_v examine_v well_o ourselves_o too_o have_v be_v diligent_a in_o search_v how_o wretched_a we_o be_v and_o too_o
dear_a for_o the_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o abuse_v his_o patience_n which_o will_v allure_v they_o unto_o goodness_n by_o give_v they_o respite_n to_o amend_v see_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a do_v so_o mock_v at_o god_n horrible_a vengeance_n must_v needs_o fall_v upon_o their_o head_n in_o the_o end_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o great_a day_n furthermore_o if_o god_n spare_v we_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o be_v watchful_a and_o if_o he_o chastise_v we_o and_o beat_v we_o with_o his_o rod_n let_v we_o always_o consider_v how_o terrible_a his_o wrath_n be_v and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o he_o do_v but_o summon_v we_o and_o why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v prevent_v his_o last_o judgement_n therefore_o let_v we_o always_o think_v upon_o the_o great_a day_n and_o not_o tarry_v till_o we_o be_v take_v tardy_a with_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o condemn_v himself_o when_o god_n stir_v we_o thereunto_o furthermore_o let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o remembrance_n that_o god_n be_v oftentimes_o mindful_a of_o mercy_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o examine_v not_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o how_o great_a be_v the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n i_o pray_v you_o if_o every_o man_n will_v examine_v himself_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v shall_v he_o not_o find_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o sin_n in_o he_o yea_o and_o of_o so_o heinous_a offence_n as_o will_v utter_o dismay_v he_o but_o the_o

thorough_o he_o shall_v find_v himself_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n confound_v before_o he_o come_v half_o too_o his_o way_n end_v for_o god_n see_v much_o more_o clear_o than_o we_o do_v when_o we_o have_v spy_v one_o fault_n god_n will_v spy_v out_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o yea_o even_o of_o million_o what_o shall_v the_o heavenly_a judge_n do_v so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n forbear_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mercy_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v not_o try_v we_o in_o the_o multitude_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o be_v too_o say_v not_o search_v we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o

righteousness_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o heathen_a philosopher_n for_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v a_o heathen_a philosopher_n what_o righteousness_n be_v it_o be_v a_o life_n well_o rule_v in_o

i_o say_v this_o gear_n enter_v not_o into_o man_n brain_n and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o they_o that_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v most_o witty_a put_v their_o trust_n in_o their_o own_o strength_n because_o they_o purpose_v to_o comprehend_v it_o by_o man_n reason_n but_o what_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a see_v it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o belong_v only_o unto_o god_n to_o reveal_v his_o own_o wisdom_n as_o if_o it_o be_v say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n tie_v themselves_o to_o the_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o wit_n and_o will_v needs_o judge_v after_o their_o own_o like_n they_o shall_v never_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v righteous_a before_o god_n they_o shall_v do_v nothing_o but_o babble_n and_o when_o they_o have_v set_v never_o so_o many_o air_n colour_n upon_o the_o matterial_a of_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o smoke_n and_o why_o so_o because_o that_o to_o know_v after_o what_o sort_n we_o become_v righteous_a before_o god_n be_v a_o inestimable_a wisdom_n and_o hide_a from_o man_n reason_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v speak_v unto_o we_o and_o discloze_v to_o we_o what_o be_v our_o confusion_n and_o until_o

and_o therefore_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o reveal_v unto_o we_o the_o wisdom_n which_o we_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o to_o the_o end_n we_o pass_v not_o our_o bound_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o know_v you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o be_v touch_v here_o let_v we_o learn_v then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v tempt_v with_o the_o say_v overween_a that_o our_o own_o

that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v intolerable_a whensoever_o god_n ly_v too_o use_v it_o towards_o we_o what_o must_v we_o do_v then_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o know_v what_o we_o be_v and_o to_o

then_o that_o will_v be_v a_o good_a corrector_n of_o his_o neighbour_n must_v first_o correct_v himself_o he_o that_o will_v teach_v other_o man_n must_v first_o be_v his_o own_o schoolmaster_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o must_v begin_v at_o himself_o and_o receive_v good_a doctrine_n also_o let_v we_o not_o forget_v that_o which_o we_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o we_o must_v be_v ready_a

manner_n of_o person_n as_o touch_v that_o which_o job_n say_v here_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o be_v that_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n such_o as_o be_v lead_v with_o ambition_n will_v fain_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v man_n of_o renown_n and_o they_o never_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o they_o look_v for_o some_o praise_n and_o commendation_n for_o it_o afore_o man_n contrariwise_o job_n declare_v here_o that_o he_o bestow_v his_o do_n where_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o recompense_n nor_o of_o purchase_v any_o great_a fame_n or_o renown_n to_o the_o

seek_v his_o hire_n here_o beneath_o in_o earth_n but_o that_o he_o walk_v as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o if_o a_o man_n seek_v his_o own_o preferment_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o

to_o his_o own_o profit_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o good_a that_o he_o do_v unto_o other_o may_v return_v home_o again_o to_o himself_o but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o

the_o blessing_n of_o he_o that_o be_v ready_a too_o perish_v come_v upon_o he_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o this_o say_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v at_o death_n door_n it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o whatsoever_o good_a we_o shall_v have_v do_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o lose_v and_o also_o as_o to_o the_o worldward_o it_o be_v all_o quite_o go_v and_o very_o job_n speak_v here_o of_o

and_o seem_v that_o he_o must_v perish_v out_o of_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o i_o seek_v not_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n again_o what_o be_v the_o hire_n that_o i_o shall_v look_v for_o
