as_o s._n james_n say_v he_o that_o sin_v in_o one_o point_n of_o the_o law_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o which_o thing_n every_o one_o may_v acknowledge_v in_o himself_o if_o he_o will_v well_o examine_v the_o bottom_n and_o secret_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o consider_v by_o pecemeale_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o every_o sin_n for_o as_o among_o the_o virtue_n there_o be_v such_o a_o chain_n as_o entertain_v and_o embrace_v each_o other_o as_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o round_n or_o that_o hold_v one_o a_o other_o by_o the_o hand_n even_o so_o among_o vice_n there_o be_v such_o a_o conspiration_n as_o lighte_o they_o be_v never_o sunder_v one_o from_o the_o other_o whereupon_o we_o must_v think_v that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o one_o vice_n but_o we_o must_v also_o in_o like_a manner_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o the_o other_o these_o than_o be_v not_o those_o humility_n be_v counterfeit_a and_o bastardlike_a that_o it_o become_v we_o to_o

before_o his_o face_n be_v a_o true_a knowledge_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o ourselves_o and_o which_o engender_v in_o we_o a_o true_a feel_n of_o our_o vice_n and_o imperfectious_a and_o cause_v we_o to_o bewail_v and_o lament_v to_o accuse_v and_o confess_v they_o before_o god_n and_o make_v we_o always_o ashamed_a and_o confound_v before_o his_o majesty_n in_o such_o sor●●hat_o when_o we_o appear_v before_o he_o we_o dare_v no_o more_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o heaven_n 14._o than_o that_o publican_n but_o look_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n we_o say_v with_o he_o lord_n

else_o where_o 2_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n for_o no_o man_n live_n shall_v be_v justify_v in_o thy_o presence_n and_o with_o daniel_n 7._o oh_o lord_n to_o thou_o belong_v righteousness_n and_o to_o we_o shame_n and_o confusion_n for_o we_o have_v sin_v we_o have_v commit_v iniquity_n we_o have_v be_v wicked_a and_o rebellious_a and_o have_v always_o be_v contrary_a to_o thy_o commandment_n and_o judgement_n with_o such_o a_o humility_n and_o confession_n we_o may_v at_o all_o hour_n present_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v not_o reject_v we_o from_o his_o presence_n 19_o because_o as_o david_n say_v he_o neither_o despise_v nor_o reject_v sorrowful_a soul_n heart_n that_o be_v humble_v and_o cast_v down_o and_o

augustine_n say_v that_o man_n join_v themselves_o and_o seek_v out_o such_o as_o be_v their_o equale_n like_a and_o may_v match_v they_o in_o greatness_n dignity_n and_o riches_n but_o contrariwise_o

we_o in_o like_a manner_n consider_v both_o ourselves_o and_o the_o whole_a estate_n of_o our_o life_n shall_v find_v that_o that_o which_o be_v maim_v and_o want_v in_o we_o be_v more_o than_o that_o which_o either_o we_o have_v or_o can_v have_v here_o in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o not_o think_v therefore_o to_o be_v rich_a before_o god_n or_o that_o our_o neighbour_n be_v poor_a than_o we_o as_o the_o pharisie_n think_v and_o say_v but_o let_v we_o be_v certain_a and_o resolve_v in_o this_o opinion_n that_o before_o god_n we_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n whereof_o we_o make_v sure_a account_n neither_o righteousness_n nor_o wisdom_n nor_o virtue_n that_o we_o may_v set_v out_o or_o allege_v before_o his_o judgement_n and_o touch_v our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v always_o think_v that_o we_o have_v so_o little_a that_o we_o may_v not_o dare_v prefer_v or_o compare_v ourselves_o to_o any_o of_o they_o now_o be_v thus_o prepare_v to_o present_v ourselves_o before_o god_n consist_v to_o wit_n through_o a_o right_a knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o through_o a_o inward_a feel_n of_o our_o vice_n and_o corruption_n and_o by_o a_o humble_a confession_n of_o our_o error_n and_o

that_o his_o salvation_n in_o and_o through_o all_o consist_v in_o

second_o be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o settle_a zeal_n and_o fervent_a affection_n to_o the_o study_n and_o exercise_v of_o good_a work_n search_v out_o good_a with_o all_o diligence_n all_o the_o mean_n &_o way_n to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o good_a and_o shume_v on_o the_o contrary_a tentation_n all_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v turn_v we_o away_o from_o it_o the_o three_o be_v that_o we_o fight_v courageous_o against_o all_o the_o desire_n and_o concupiscence_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o that_o we_o be_v strong_a and_o resolve_v against_o all_o the_o other_o tentation_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n whether_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v sweet_o entice_v or_o flatter_v thereunto_o or_o violent_o draw_v and_o enforce_v and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o cold_a and_o white_a liver_v in_o these_o combat_n but_o hardy_a vigilant_a and_o attentive_a to_o espy_v and_o to_o take_v all_o occasion_n favour_n whereby_o we_o may_v resist_v and_o vanquish_v all_o our_o enemy_n the_o four_o be_v that_o as_o we_o continual_o sin_n so_o we_o also_o as_o often_o diligent_o pray_v unto_o god_n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o of_o his_o great_a mercy_n to_o pardon_v our_o offence_n and_o as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n go_v through_o the_o desert_n have_v to_o sight_n oftentimes_o against_o the_o serpent_n and_o when_o they_o be_v stonge_z and_o smite_v by_o they_o for_o to_o be_v preserve_v from_o the_o venom_n and_o from_o death_n they_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n towards_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n that_o moses_n have_v set_v up_o amidst_o their_o tent_n by_o sight_n whereof_o they_o be_v heal_v we_o in_o like_a manner_n fight_v against_o our_o concupiscence_n if_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v at_o any_o time_n that_o they_o give_v we_o any_o blow_n to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o stripe_n may_v not_o be_v deadly_a unto_o we_o we_o must_v lift_v up_o our_o eye_n towards_o jesus_n christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o beseech_v he_o that_o he_o will_v forgive_v we_o all_o our_o trespass_n work_n now_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o to_o show_v our_o sanctification_n by_o the_o effect_n we_o must_v apply_v our_o self_n to_o good_a work_n it_o may_v not_o be_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o exercise_v ourselves_o in_o one_o or_o in_o two_o leave_v the_o rest_n behind_o as_o many_o do_v who_o do_v not_o take_v nor_o use_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o in_o that_o only_a where_o it_o be_v agreeable_a and_o may_v be_v refer_v they_o think_v to_o their_o appetite_n but_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o embrace_v it_o whole_o and_o not_o to_o think_v that_o we_o can_v do_v our_o duty_n in_o any_o sort_n whatsoever_o unless_o we_o enforce_v ourselves_o to_o keep_v all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n without_o omit_v the_o least_o point_n or_o title_n thereof_o even_o like_a as_o to_o be_v healthy_a in_o our_o body_n similitude_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o not_o to_o have_v the_o plague_n or_o a_o pleurisy_n but_o general_o to_o be_v free_a from_o all_o disease_n even_o so_o to_o be_v holy_a in_o our_o soul_n we_o must_v be_v clean_o from_o all_o spot_v and_o defylinge_n and_o we_o must_v take_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n as_o a_o universal_a rule_n of_o all_o our_o thought_n affection_n word_n and_o deed_n to_o the_o end_n to_o keep_v it_o from_o point_n to_o point_n and_o not_o to_o omit_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v there_o command_v us._n similitude_n and_o what_o will_v it_o profit_v in_o a_o city_n diligent_o to_o watch_v at_o one_o gate_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o shut_v against_o the_o enemy_n if_o in_o mean_a while_o all_o the_o rest_n stand_v wide_o open_a to_o he_o even_o so_o likewise_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o one_o vice_n unless_o we_o make_v account_n and_o conscience_n to_o abondon_v ourselves_o from_o all_o other_o like_v as_o amongst_o archer_n as_o say_v aristotle_n there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a mark_n whereto_o they_o must_v direct_v their_o arrow_n to_o shoot_v well_o and_o yet_o many_o mean_n to_o miss_v and_o shoot_v short_a so_o be_v there_o but_o one_o only_a holiness_n whereunto_o we_o must_v aspire_v which_o be_v a_o settle_a desire_n full_o resolve_v whole_o to_o obey_v god_n but_o there_o be_v many_o kind_n of_o vice_n and_o mean_n to_o disobey_v he_o and_o to_o withstand_v his_o will._n we_o conclude_v then_o that_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o good_a work_n it_o must_v not_o be_v do_v to_o half_n but_o perfect_o &_o without_o exception_n to_o take_v care_n and_o endeavour_n to_o keep_v all_o that_o god_n command_v but_o here_o a_o question_n must_v be_v resolve_v work_n and_o that_o be_v that_o if_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n and_o to_o satisfy_v the_o will_n of_o god_n we_o must_v be_v perfect_a in_o every_o kind_n of_o virtue_n and_o we_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v saint_n and_o christian_n unless_o we_o have_v in_o perfection_n all_o the_o point_n of_o holiness_n the_o philosopher_n and_o schoolman_n schoolman_n they_o say_v that_o this_o be_v necessary_a and_o that_o a_o man_n can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v virtuous_a unless_o he_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o fullness_n and_o perfection_n of_o all_o virtue_n but_o the_o scripture_n &_o the_o ancient_a father_n they_o speak_v otherwise_o doctor_n for_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o mind_n be_v accept_v according_a to_o that_o it_o have_v
