to_o discern_v for_o his_o lord_n the_o simple_a abject_a little_o esteem_v humble_a forsake_a poor_a and_o passioned_a christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o much_o more_o hard_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o find_v christ_n in_o a_o prince_n as_o in_o this_o our_o age_n the_o corruption_n of_o the_o most_o part_n account_v for_o most_o holy_a law_n be_v great_a their_o liberty_n and_o power_n

to_o be_v of_o another_o sort_n than_o they_o common_o be_v and_o likewise_o also_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o soldier_n and_o yet_o a_o good_a christian_a as_o be_v the_o centurion_n but_o it_o so_o hard_a 8._o mat._n 8._o that_o it_o be_v next_o neighbour_n to_o a_o thing_n impossible_a the_o like_a i_o say_v of_o other_o honest_a estate_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o everye_o one_o that_o be_v find_v therein_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n aught_o to_o turn_v unto_o his_o say_a lord_n god_n all_o his_o intent_n thought_n will_n action_n and_o work_n with_o order_v all_o his_o life_n to_o his_o honour_n &_o glory_n such_o also_o may_v &_o aught_o to_o have_v always_o god_n before_o their_o eye_n and_o he_o alone_o to_o serve_v and_o albeit_o they_o be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o the_o

ought_v to_o go_v hearty_o unto_o god_n serve_v altogether_o to_o his_o honour_n see_v then_o that_o in_o every_o honest_a estate_n we_o may_v be_v perfect_a christian_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o

which_o be_v convenient_a in_o that_o estate_n so_o that_o we_o may_v render_v unto_o god_n all_o praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n amen_n ¶_o of_o the_o

spiritual_a holy_a angelical_a and_o divine_a of_o the_o first_o paul_n make_v mention_v whereas_o he_o say_v be_v you_o not_o wise_a in_o your_o own_o opinion_n and_o likewise_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v foolishness_n before_o god_n 3._o rom._n 12._o 1._o cor._n 3._o and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n of_o the_o second_o faith_n christ_n make_v mention_v when_o he_o exhort_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v wise_a as_o serpent_n 15._o mat._n 10._o mat._n 15._o and_o also_o when_o he_o tell_v of_o those_o five_o virgin_n who_o enter_v with_o he_o into_o the_o marriage_n christ_n also_o speak_v both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n 16._o luc._n 16._o be_v more_o wise_a than_o the_o child_n of_o light_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n leave_v off_o to_o be_v govern_v with_o spiritual_a prudence_n and_o wisdom_n be_v govern_v with_o carnal_a by_o which_o they_o fall_v headlong_o into_o great_a danger_n therefore_o i_o have_v judge_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o show_v unto_o such_o partly_o their_o foolishness_n first_o spiritual_a prudence_n and_o wisdom_n as_o that_o which_o have_v a_o great_a light_n clear_a supernatural_a and_o high_a hold_v always_o the_o eye_n open_v fixed_z and_o steadfast_a upon_o god_n have_v he_o alone_o for_o the_o last_o end_n unto_o who_o glory_n it_o order_v all_o our_o action_n and_o work_n use_v all_o creature_n to_o his_o honour_n but_o carnal_a wisdom_n and_o prudence_n as_o

if_o it_o be_v mere_a foolishness_n then_o think_v and_o consider_v that_o albeit_o in_o christ_n all_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n do_v consist_v yet_o this_o as_o a_o fool_n will_v even_o read_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o their_o parent_n say_v that_o god_n be_v mad_a and_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n christ_n &_o likewise_o his_o church_n never_o have_v nor_o at_o any_o time_n shall_v have_v a_o great_a enimye_n than_o this_o this_o human_a faith_n be_v it_o that_o have_v always_o persecute_v grace_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o with_o devise_v every_o day_n new_a sort_n of_o lyve_a after_o the_o own_o fantasy_n have_v fill_v the_o world_n with_o superstition_n idolatrye_n sect_n heresy_n and_o wicked_a religion_n and_o last_o that_o be_v it_o which_o although_o it_o have_v always_o persecute_v the_o saint_n and_o hang_v christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n yet_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antechrist_n in_o show_v more_o wickedness_n than_o ever_o it_o do_v have_v do_v and_o do_v the_o last_o violence_n it_o be_v therefore_o exceed_a foolishness_n misery_n and_o wickedness_n for_o a_o man_n to_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v guide_v thereby_o like_a

of_o his_o light_n that_o he_o will_v quench_v and_o put_v out_o in_o we_o all_o carnal_a wisdom_n so_o that_o lyve_a only_o unto_o he_o we_o may_v yield_v he_o all_o praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n amen_n the_o end_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o faith_n sermon_n of_o hope_n how_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o desperation_n be_v the_o great_a sin_n that_o can_v be_v sermon_n 1._o there_o be_v find_v two_o sort_n of_o desperation_n one_o most_o holy_a as_o when_o a_o man_n despayr_v of_o himself_o of_o his_o own_o strength_n of_o his_o own_o cunning_a prudence_n wisdom_n devise_n and_o goodness_n distru_v himself_o in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o of_o all_o help_n that_o he_o can_v ever_o have_v by_o creature_n with_o put_v his_o trust_n whole_o in_o god_n now_o this_o be_v a_o most_o godly_a desperation_n the_o other_o desperation_n be_v altogether_o devilish_a and_o most_o wicked_a as_o when_o a_o man_n distru_v and_o dispayr_v of_o the_o help_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a sin_n that_o can_v be_v commit_v forasmuch_o as_o a_o desperate_a person_n have_v most_o wicked_a conceit_n of_o god_n he_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n or_o that_o if_o there_o be_v he_o can_v or_o that_o he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o help_v he_o and_o if_o he_o know_v how_o and_z can_v that_o he_o will_v not_o that_o he_o love_v he_o not_o that_o he_o do_v not_o favour_v he_o esteem_v he_o have_v not_o elect_v he_o neither_o that_o he_o have_v a_o most_o singular_a care_n of_o he_o yea_o he_o think_v that_o god_n be_v partial_a and_o a_o acceptor_n of_o person_n that_o he_o be_v his_o enemy_n cruel_a and_o angry_a with_o he_o he_o beléeve_v not_o that_o thorough_a christ_n he_o be_v pacify_v with_o he_o and_o this_o because_o he_o think_v that_o christ_n have_v no_o power_n to_o satisfy_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o if_o yet_o he_o have_v power_n he_o have_v no_o will_n to_o do_v it_o a_o desperate_a person_n set_v himself_o to_o strive_v against_o god_n as_o cain_n do_v labour_v to_o withdraw_v and_o wrest_v mercy_n from_o god_n or_o at_o least_o so_o to_o diminish_v it_o that_o it_o abide_v the_o lesser_a towards_o he_o through_o his_o ungodlynesse_n and_o if_o the_o desperation_n in_o cain_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o we_o it_o be_v so_o much_o great_a as_o that_o god_n since_o that_o time_n have_v be_v show_v unto_o we_o with_o great_a charity_n and_o especial_o in_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o what_o worse_a thing_n can_v a_o man_n do_v then_o to_o distrust_v of_o that_o so_o great_a and_o infinite_a goodness_n love_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n make_v manifest_a to_o we_o most_o high_o in_o christ_n the_o sin_n of_o desperation_n so_o much_o displease_v god_n that_o if_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o due_o consider_v thereof_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o what_o great_a work_v god_n have_v wrought_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n even_o until_o now_o all_o have_v be_v for_o to_o elevate_v and_o draw_v our_o hope_n unto_o he_o and_o because_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o fall_v into_o desperation_n he_o have_v create_v man_n so_o noble_a excellent_a and_o worthy_a and_o the_o world_n for_o to_o serve_v he_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n see_v themselves_o so_o love_v of_o god_n they_o may_v trust_v in_o he_o also_o he_o suffer_v man_n to_o fall_v not_o only_o because_o he_o shall_v no_o more_o trust_v in_o himself_o nor_o in_o creature_n but_o also_o because_o that_o come_n in_o the_o great_a need_n he_o shall_v be_v of_o necessity_n constrain_v to_o have_v refuge_n to_o god_n and_o so_o of_o he_o be_v help_v approve_v his_o favour_n may_v learn_v to_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o he_o he_o send_v not_o also_o christ_n immediate_o to_o set_v he_o at_o liberty_n but_o will_v that_o for_o a_o long_a time_n he_o shall_v abide_v so_o because_o that_o he_o shall_v first_o thorough_o try_v his_o own_o strength_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o
