wicked_a man_n man_n be_v reckon_v boaster_n those_o that_o because_o there_o be_v no_o true_a matter_n of_o praise_n to_o be_v see_v in_o they_o will_v get_v praise_n by_o speak_v great_a thing_n for_o themselves_o so_o saul_n whereas_o he_o have_v save_v the_o king_n and_o all_o the_o best_a of_o the_o cattle_n he_o come_v brag_v to_o samuel_n bless_a be_v thou_o of_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o i_o have_v fulfil_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o it_o be_v nothing_o so_o he_o have_v do_v nothing_o less_o than_o fulfil_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n here_o he_o lie_v now_o in_o brag_v of_o himself_o and_o all_o in_o excuse_v one_o fault_n more_o than_o one_o shall_v the_o thing_n wherein_o saul_n sin_v in_o the_o same_o matter_n for_o when_o his_o lie_n will_v not_o go_v for_o currant_n but_o samuel_n catch_v he_o why_o have_v thou_o do_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o he_o command_v then_o all_o shall_v be_v dead_a how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v than_o i_o hear_v bleat_v &_o low_v make_v these_o two_o agree_v that_o all_o be_v dead_a and_o yet_o i_o hear_v some_o bleat_n when_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n now_o he_o have_v not_o do_v his_o duty_n than_o he_o shift_v it_o thus_o indeed_o a_o few_o of_o the_o best_a of_o they_o we_o have_v keep_v for_o sacrifice_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o be_v no_o harm_n but_o when_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n neither_o but_o samuel_n follow_v he_o close_o o_o say_v he_o have_v god_n as_o much_o delight_n in_o sacrifice_n as_o when_o his_o word_n be_v obey_v then_o he_o fall_v to_o a_o other_o excuse_n and_o cast_v it_o on_o the_o people_n i_o fear_v the_o people_n say_v he_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o none_o of_o i_o thus_o if_o any_o credit_n have_v be_v to_o be_v get_v he_o will_v have_v have_v that_o to_o himself_o alone_o but_o now_o that_o no_o credit_n can_v be_v have_v he_o leave_v it_o for_o the_o people_n to_o divide_v among_o themselves_o and_o this_o excuse_v be_v a_o common_a thing_n among_o all_o man_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o most_o simple_a person_n the_o most_o ignorant_a and_o silly_a body_n in_o a_o whole_a town_n that_o have_v the_o most_o shallow_a capacity_n &_o dull_a wit_n that_o can_v be_v but_o he_o be_v very_o sharp_a and_o witty_a to_o find_v a_o excuse_n he_o can_v scamble_v and_o wind_n and_o will_v make_v hard_a shift_n to_o wring_v his_o neck_n out_o of_o the_o collar_n that_o hardly_o can_v any_o reproof_n be_v fasten_v upon_o he_o and_o man_n think_v by_o so_o do_v to_o lessen_v their_o fault_n but_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o for_o what_o have_v they_o get_v but_o that_o now_o a_o man_n may_v say_v yonder_o be_v a_o liar_n that_o be_v ill_o account_v of_o both_o before_o god_n and_o also_o before_o man_n he_o be_v ill_o before_o but_o now_o he_o be_v far_o worse_o it_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a thing_n when_o one_o have_v wound_v himself_o by_o sin_n to_o go_v to_o the_o devil_n for_o a_o medicine_n he_o be_v the_o worst_a physician_n that_o can_v be_v and_o his_o physic_n be_v the_o worst_a physic_n in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o will_v sure_o enough_o give_v they_o that_o that_o shall_v make_v they_o worse_o and_o not_o better_o one_o may_v think_v that_o these_o excusing_n be_v plaster_n but_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v but_o poison_v that_o venom_n the_o soul_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o before_o three_o a_o man_n lie_v against_o himself_o by_o excuse_v as_o when_o man_n in_o a_o kind_n of_o proud_a humility_n will_v deny_v their_o gift_n with_o a_o intent_n to_o get_v more_o credit_n oh_o alas_o i_o have_v no_o gift_n no_o wit_n no_o learning_n a_o simple_a scholar_n and_o weak_a memory_n and_o such_o like_a contrary_a to_o that_o one_o know_v &_o think_v now_o this_o deprese_n one_o self_n false_o be_v not_o humility_n but_o iniquity_n for_o one_o shall_v make_v himself_o neither_o better_o nor_o worse_o they_o god_n have_v make_v he_o but_o if_o he_o have_v good_a call_n to_o speak_v of_o himself_o plain_o as_o the_o matter_n be_v in_o truth_n and_o now_o if_o when_o they_o lie_v of_o themselves_o &_o say_v they_o have_v no_o wit_n no_o learning_n no_o good_a part_n etc._n etc._n &_o one_o say_v why_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v true_a you_o say_v well_o it_o be_v right_v you_o have_v none_o of_o all_o these_o thing_n indeed_o they_o will_v think_v such_o a_o man_n do_v they_o great_a wrong_n &_o scarce_o take_v he_o for_o their_o friend_n for_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o other_o shall_v cross_v he_o and_o say_v nay_o say_v not_o so_o you_o be_v a_o excellent_a man_n worthy_a to_o be_v regard_v etc._n etc._n and_o so_o he_o will_v discommend_v himself_o long_o enough_o if_o he_o hear_v a_o other_o commend_v he_o for_o this_o be_v it_o which_o he_o delight_v to_o hear_v but_o a_o man_n must_v neither_o wrong_v god_n nor_o himself_o in_o diminish_v and_o conceal_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n in_o goodness_n have_v give_v he_o not_o to_o deny_v they_o but_o to_o use_v they_o to_o his_o glory_n so_o for_o matter_n of_o this_o life_n come_v to_o man_n for_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o and_o then_o there_o be_v such_o a_o whine_a how_o poor_a they_o be_v what_o a_o great_a charge_n they_o have_v what_o loss_n they_o have_v sustain_v and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o than_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v poor_a whereas_o their_o own_o soul_n bear_v they_o witness_v that_o they_o be_v wealthy_a and_o have_v much_o more_o than_o many_o man_n that_o do_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o good_a than_o themselves_o therefore_o though_o a_o man_n do_v not_o slander_v his_o neighbour_n yet_o if_o he_o slander_v himself_o he_o be_v to_o be_v reproove_v as_o a_o liar_n herein_o diverse_a of_o god_n child_n fail_v much_o in_o time_n of_o contemplation_n those_o that_o have_v be_v and_o be_v sound_a and_o true_a heart_a christian_n if_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o feeling_n a_o while_n &_o can_v find_v that_o rejoice_v in_o god_n and_o comfort_n in_o good_a thing_n that_o in_o former_a time_n they_o have_v then_o come_v the_o accuser_n of_o the_o brethren_n satan_n that_o old_a and_o subtle_a serpent_n and_o he_o strive_v to_o make_v they_o accuse_v themselves_o false_o on_o say_v he_o if_o you_o have_v be_v good_a indeed_o and_o have_v have_v a_o true_a heart_n to_o god_n he_o will_v never_o have_v forsake_v you_o thus_o and_o give_v you_o over_o to_o such_o a_o deadness_n and_o then_o through_o weakness_n god_n child_n be_v ready_a to_o join_v with_o the_o devil_n against_o themselves_o and_o to_o think_v it_o be_v true_a sure_o i_o be_v but_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o hollow_a heart_a my_o former_a comfort_n be_v but_o delusion_n &_o presumption_n if_o they_o have_v be_v be_v true_a i_o shall_v not_o have_v lose_v they_o but_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v never_o yield_v to_o satan_n but_o if_o he_o strive_v to_o accuse_v do_v you_o strive_v to_o excuse_v &_o if_o he_o will_v cast_v you_o down_o by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o lift_v up_o yourself_o by_o reason_n out_o of_o god_n word_n and_o by_o former_a experience_n in_o yourself_o &_o other_o christian_n for_o that_o be_v no_o good_a reason_n because_o you_o have_v no_o feel_n therefore_o you_o have_v no_o faith_n and_o because_o you_o have_v lose_v the_o sense_n of_o your_o comfort_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o true_a comfort_n this_o be_v no_o true_a conclusion_n for_o those_o who_o god_n once_o love_v he_o love_v to_o the_o end_n and_o will_v never_o forsake_v they_o take_v heed_n of_o make_v such_o conclusion_n for_o a_o man_n may_v want_v the_o feel_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o cry_v and_o call_v again_o and_o again_o for_o it_o and_o feel_v nothing_o all_o this_o while_n yet_o nevertheless_o have_v true_a and_o sound_a faith_n if_o he_o feel_v not_o faith_n but_o he_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n that_o he_o have_v true_a faith_n but_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o persecute_v yourself_o fight_v against_o he_o not_o with_o he_o against_o yourself_o you_o shall_v find_v he_o be_v strong_a enough_o alone_o you_o have_v not_o need_n join_v with_o he_o but_o rather_o set_v to_o resist_v he_o if_o one_o be_v once_o the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n he_o be_v so_o for_o ever_o if_o once_o in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o
