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

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

holy_a ghost_n and_o all_o our_o peace_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o all_o our_o fear_n to_o the_o fear_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v love_v righteousness_n with_o as_o great_a good_a

he_o in_o another_o country_n where_o he_o have_v no_o sepulchre_n provide_v herod_n hope_v when_o the_o people_n cry_v at_o his_o word_n it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v

than_o they_o need_v to_o learn_v all_o virtue_n they_o think_v to_o please_v man_n by_o it_o but_o god_n resist_v their_o pride_n and_o all_o that_o see_v they_o though_o they_o cap_n and_o curtsy_n to_o they_o yet_o they_o judge_v worse_o of_o they_o and_o think_v that_o they_o will_v not_o wear_v these_o sign_n of_o lightness_n and_o pride_n unless_o they_o be_v light_a and_o proud_a indeed_o thus_o if_o their_o apparel_n condemn_v they_o before_o man_n how_o will_v it_o condemn_v they_o before_o god_n if_o sin_n do_v not_o blind_v they_o will_v they_o so_o deceive_v themselves_o to_o

much_o of_o god_n battle_n against_o the_o proud_a here_o peter_n leave_v the_o proud_a with_o this_o brand_n in_o their_o forehead_n this_o be_v the_o man_n who_o god_n resist_v then_o he_o turn_v to_o the_o lowly_a and_o comfort_v they_o but_o he_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o be_v like_o john_n the_o belove_a disciple_n which_o lean_v on_o christ_n bosom_n john_n 13._o 23._o though_o god_n resist_v the_o proud_a yet_o he_o will_v not_o frown_v upon_o you_o but_o when_o he_o resist_v they_o he_o will_v give_v grace_n unto_o you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v the_o proud_a be_v without_o grace_n for_o god_n give_v not_o grace_n unto_o the_o proud_a but_o to_o the_o humble_a according_a to_o that_o to_o esay_n 66._o 2._o to_o he_o will_v i_o look_v even_o to_o he_o that_o be_v poor_a &_o of_o a_o contrite_a heart_n and_o tremble_v at_o my_o word_n therefore_o learn_v of_o i_o say_v christ_n to_o be_v humble_a &_o meek_a 11._o as_o though_o the_o humble_a and_o meek_a be_v his_o scholar_n therefore_o god_n must_v needs_o love_v the_o humble_a because_o they_o be_v like_o his_o son_n they_o shall_v have_v his_o best_a gift_n of_o which_o he_o say_v 2._o cor._n 12._o 9_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o which_o have_v give_v you_o his_o grace_n can_v he_o deny_v you_o any_o thing_n as_o christ_n say_v he_o which_o have_v give_v we_o his_o son_n will_v he_o not_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n with_o he_o therefore_o grace_n may_v be_v call_v the_o gift_n of_o gift_n because_o all_o gift_n come_v with_o grace_n as_o the_o court_n go_v with_o the_o queen_n therefore_o fear_v not_o to_o be_v humble_a lest_o you_o be_v contemn_v for_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v make_v to_o humility_n and_o yet_o man_n fear_v to_o be_v humble_a lest_o they_o shall_v be_v contemn_v humility_n do_v not_o make_v john_n contemptible_a but_o when_o he_o refuse_v the_o name_n of_o a_o prophet_n christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v more_o than_o a_o prophet_n mat._n 11._o 2._o humility_n do_v not_o make_v moses_n contemptible_a but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o mild_a man_n upon_o earth_n so_o he_o be_v the_o

lowly_a in_o my_o own_o sight_n yet_o thou_o and_o thy_o maid_n shall_v honour_v i_o 2._o sam._n 6._o 22._o as_o christ_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v a_o king_n because_o he_o be_v like_o a_o servant_n nor_o to_o be_v a_o lion_n because_o he_o be_v like_o a_o lamb_n nor_o to_o be_v god_n because_o he_o be_v make_v man_n nor_o to_o be_v a_o judge_n because_o he_o be_v judge_v so_o man_n do_v not_o loose_v his_o honour_n by_o humility_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v honour_v for_o his_o humility_n as_o the_o son_n be_v honour_v when_o he_o be_v humble_v luk._n 15._o 8._o thus_o humility_n have_v

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

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

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

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
