his_o people_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n again_o we_o know_v how_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v general_o that_o the_o man_n be_v happy_a which_o eat_v the_o labour_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o be_v nourish_v therewith_o therefore_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o have_v our_o good_n to_o do_v we_o good_a let_v we_o learn_v too_o have_v they_o in_o such_o case_n as_o we_o may_v say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o they_o for_o god_n meddle_v not_o with_o craft_n and_o extortion_n i_o confess_v in_o deed_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o enrich_v without_o his_o will_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o too_o be_v say_v that_o he_o allow_v of_o their_o do_n neither_o be_v it_o mean_v that_o the_o wicked_a acknowledge_v god_n to_o say_v i_o thank_v god_n i_o think_v myself_o behold_v to_o he_o for_o that_o which_o he_o have_v give_v i_o no_o for_o they_o hold_v they_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o of_o god_n blessing_n therefore_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n learn_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o to_o make_v account_n of_o this_o promise_n that_o we_o be_v happy_a when_o we_o eat_v the_o labour_n of_o our_o hand_n that_o be_v too_o say_v when_o we_o eat_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o such_o as_o we_o have_v get_v by_o good_a &_o lawful_a mean_n allow_v of_o god_n furthermore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n too_o build_v in_o this_o world_n for_o all_o thing_n here_o be_v fleet_a and_o transitory_a let_v we_o not_o be_v like_o these_o fool_n that_o make_v their_o nest_n in_o this_o world_n as_o who_o will_v say_v they_o look_v never_o to_o go_v out_o of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v tie_v to_o it_o for_o which_o be_v our_o chief_a house_n it_o be_v our_o body_n though_o a_o man_n have_v great_a palace_n and_o as_o sumptuous_a house_n as_o any_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o can_v continue_v in_o they_o for_o ever_o he_o can_v keep_v himself_o in_o prison_n there_o so_o then_o the_o peculiar_a lodging_n that_o every_o man_n have_v be_v his_o own_o body_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v what_o brittleness_n be_v in_o it_o what_o firmness_n have_v it_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o hie_v we_o to_o the_o heavenly_a building_n that_o be_v to_o say_v let_v we_o desire_v to_o be_v so_o repair_v as_o god_n spirit_n may_v dwell_v in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v make_v his_o temple_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v now_o corruptible_a and_o transitory_a in_o we_o may_v be_v renew_v so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v set_v in_o the_o same_o state_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v not_o in_o this_o world_n seek_v to_o draw_v other_o man_n good_n to_o we_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o live_v content_v with_o whatsoever_o god_n give_v we_o and_o therewithal_o pray_v god_n so_o to_o build_v we_o as_o we_o may_v be_v his_o temple_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o not_o suffer_v satan_n to_o carry_v we_o away_o or_o to_o enter_v into_o we_o too_o nourish_v our_o vice_n and_o sin_n in_o we_o for_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o will_v make_v our_o body_n foul_a stink_a stable_n but_o we_o know_v that_o god_n can_v dwell_v in_o any_o filthy_a place_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v he_o to_o settle_v in_o we_o we_o must_v first_o pray_v he_o too_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o uncleanness_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v build_v we_o by_o his_o grace_n to_o be_v true_a temple_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n lo_o how_o we_o may_v be_v well_o build_v but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o proceed_v of_o his_o mere_a grace_n according_a as_o the_o scripture_n avouch_v it_o to_o be_v his_o charge_n to_o build_v up_o zion_n then_o like_a as_o general_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n build_v all_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o his_o church_n so_o also_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o build_v each_o one_o of_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v am_z at_o we_o must_v not_o be_v wed_v to_o the_o flightful_a &_o corruptible_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n but_o we_o must_v hie_v we_o to_o the_o everlasting_a thing_n and_o labour_n for_o they_o more_o &_o more_o till_o we_o become_v full_o to_o they_o 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 acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o so_o to_o feel_v they_o as_o we_o may_v learn_v too_o mislike_v they_o more_o and_o more_o and_o too_o take_v such_o hearty_a remorse_n that_o we_o overcome_v all_o temptation_n and_o hie_v we_o always_o to_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n where_o our_o true_a heritage_n be_v and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v so_o give_v unto_o it_o as_o we_o may_v seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o please_v our_o god_n and_o to_o frame_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o will_n so_o as_o we_o may_v show_v by_o our_o deed_n that_o his_o call_n of_o we_o unto_o he_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a but_o that_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o glorify_v he_o in_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n acknowledge_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o give_v we_o of_o his_o mere_a grace_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v yield_v he_o praise_v and_o do_v he_o his_o due_a honour_n that_o it_o may_v please_v he_o too_o grant_v this_o grace_n not_o only_o too_o we_o but_o also_o too_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n etc_n etc_n the_o lxxuj_o sermon_n which_o be_v the_o four_o upon_o the_o twenty_o chapter_n 20_o he_o shall_v feel_v no_o suffizance_n in_o his_o belly_n neither_o shall_v he_o keep_v his_o desire_n 21_o there_o be_v none_o of_o his_o meat_n leave_v therefore_o shall_v not_o his_o good_n be_v multiply_v 22_o when_o his_o abundance_n be_v at_o the_o full_a he_o shall_v be_v in_o anguish_n all_o the_o hand_n of_o labour_a man_n shall_v come_v

fearfulness_n shall_v be_v upon_o he_o zophar_n go_v forward_o with_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o deal_v with_o yesterday_o add_v here_o that_o the_o wicked_a man_n never_o have_v any_o contentation_n nor_o rest_n nor_o shall_v fare_v any_o thing_n the_o better_a by_o aught_o that_o he_o leave_v behind_o he_o neither_o shall_v his_o good_n thrive_v with_o his_o heir_n or_o successor_n this_o sentence_n have_v be_v declare_v already_o howbeit_o for_o the_o large_a confirmation_n thereof_o it_o be_v repeat_v once_o again_o that_o we_o may_v bear_v it_o the_o better_a in_o mind_n and_o also_o be_v the_o better_o persuade_v of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o see_v a_o man_n have_v abundance_n of_o good_n we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o he_o want_v nothing_o and_o that_o he_o have_v contentation_n and_o all_o felicity_n so_o as_o he_o need_v to_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o take_v his_o pleasure_n see_v that_o all_o thing_n answer_v his_o heart_n desire_v after_o that_o manner_n mark_v i_o pray_v you_o how_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o wretchedness_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o they_o who_o god_n curse_v but_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n but_o god_n judgement_n be_v inclose_v in_o their_o bone_n and_o in_o their_o maree_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v it_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n to_o hear_v this_o sentence_n often_o that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o sure_a of_o it_o and_o have_v the_o remembrance_n of_o it_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o look_v upon_o a_o rich_a man_n we_o think_v that_o heaven_n &_o earth_n shall_v mingle_v themselves_o together_o to_o confound_v he_o and_o therefore_o god_n declare_v that_o although_o man_n have_v never_o so_o great_a wealth_n yet_o shall_v the_o same_o perish_v every_o whit_n and_o vanish_v away_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o for_o his_o heir_n or_o successor_n to_o hope_v for_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o these_o two_o point_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o set_v more_o store_n by_o god_n blessing_n than_o by_o all_o the_o wealth_n in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o be_v tempt_v too_o covet_v curse_a riches_n which_o can_v come_v to_o a_o good_a end_n because_o god_n will_v
but_o rather_o the_o holy_a ghost_n intend_v here_o to_o give_v we_o a_o mirror_n of_o perfection_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o know_v there_o be_v any_o spot_n in_o we_o we_o shall_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n call_v and_o summon_v we_o to_o our_o account_n and_o that_o we_o can_v not_o escape_v unpunished_a for_o by_o and_o by_o there_o be_v a_o curse_n add_v let_v i_o sow_v say_v job_n and_o let_v a_o other_o man_n eat_v and_o let_v my_o plant_n be_v pluck_v up_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o i_o have_v labour_v to_o enrich_v myself_o by_o unlawful_a gain_n let_v god_n pluck_v away_o all_o my_o substance_n and_o let_v all_o perish_v and_o go_v to_o havoc_n you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o now_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed●_n to_o walk_v more_o careful_o than_o we_o have_v do_v for_o man_n dispatch_v themselves_o thereof_o too_o light_o if_o they_o have_v any_o mean_a trade_n of_o live_a and_o content_n themselves_o with_o it_o how_o so_o ever_o they_o fare_v straight_o way_n they_o be_v righteous_a so_o think_v they_o themselves_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o amiss_o in_o they_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o the_o balance_n as_o i_o have_v touch_v before_o and_o because_o the_o law_n of_o god_n move_v we_o not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n add_v one_o other_o help_n which_o be_v that_o in_o the_o example_n of_o job_n he_o show_v we_o how_o our_o life_n ought_v to_o be_v rule_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o by_o the_o way_n we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o job_n ment_fw-la not_o to_o magnify_v himself_o but_o to_o show_v in_o his_o own_o example_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o live_v beside_o this_o also_o although_o we_o have_v endeavour_v to_o walk_v in_o such_o perfection_n as_o we_o have_v bridle_a our_o affection_n as_o our_o wander_a lust_n have_v harry_v we_o away_o as_o we_o have_v always_o preserve_v every_o man_n right_a and_o as_o we_o have_v not_o use_v any_o craft_n or_o malice_n against_o any_o man_n yet_o must_v we_o always_o hang_v down_o our_o head_n before_o god_n as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o and_o if_o god_n scourge_v we_o although_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o for_o some_o other_o purpose_n as_o namely_o to_o humble_v we_o or_o to_o try_v our_o patience_n yet_o must_v we_o cast_v down_o our_o head_n still_o and_o furthermore_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v always_o guilty_a howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v and_o that_o god_n shall_v always_o find_v some_o fault_n in_o we_o so_o as_o he_o may_v just_o reject_v our_o whole_a life_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o practice_v this_o sentence_n nevertheless_o to_o be_v short_a it_o behove_v we_o to_o have_v our_o eye_n always_o fasten_v to_o our_o hand_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o deal_v so_o pure_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n as_o our_o do_n may_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v stain_v but_o it_o be_v hard_o for_o we_o to_o have_v such_o a_o pureness_n for_o look_v how_o many_o deal_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o so_o many_o piece_n of_o pitch_n do_v pass_v through_o our_o hand_n and_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o shall_v escape_v without_o catch_v some_o spot_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o work_v in_o that_o case_n and_o too_o preserve_v we_o even_o after_o a_o wonderful_a fashion_n and_o it_o ought_v to_o provoke_v we_o great_o too_o prayer_n when_o we_o see_v there_o be_v such_o a_o uncorruptness_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o we_o draw_v clean_o backward_o in_o so_o much_o that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o be_v clean_o as_o we_o perceive_v not_o the_o spot_v and_o blot_n that_o be_v in_o we_o then_o remain_v there_o none_o other_o shift_n but_o to_o fly_v to_o god_n for_o refuge_n not_o only_o to_o crave_v forgiveness_n of_o the_o fault_n that_o be_v past_a but_o also_o to_o desire_v he_o to_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o too_o keep_v our_o hand_n clean_o so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v restrain_v from_o all_o craftiness_n and_o malicious_a deal_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o man_n what_o so_o ever_o they_o be_v more_o over_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o curse_n that_o job_n set_v down_o here_o for_o although_o he_o apply_v it_o but_o too_o his_o own_o person_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o pronounce_v general_o what_o payment_n be_v prepare_v for_o all_o those_o which_o defile_v their_o hand_n after_o that_o sort_n with_o the_o wickedness_n that_o they_o have_v devise_v against_o their_o neighbour_n do_v the_o covetous_a man_n endeavour_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o at_o other_o man_n cost_n be_v a_o man_n so_o give_v to_o himself_o as_o he_o pass_v for_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n but_o to_o grow_v rich_fw-fr let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o the_o same_o shall_v endure_v long_o but_o that_o at_o length_n god_n will_v execute_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o pronounce_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o such_o as_o have_v plant_v shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o have_v heap_v most_o good_n together_o enjoy_v they_o not_o but_o god_n bereave_v they_o of_o they_o and_o oftentimes_o a_o man_n need_v not_o to_o forbid_v they_o the_o eat_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v get_v for_o they_o themselves_o be_v so_o niggardly_o as_o they_o dare_v not_o cherish_v themselves_o but_o pine_v away_o and_o become_v their_o own_o tormentor_n and_o afterward_o look_v what_o they_o have_v gather_v together_o in_o long_a time_n with_o great_a labour_n that_o do_v god_n pluck_v and_o sweep_v away_o their_o child_n make_v a_o fair_a dispatch_n of_o it_o and_o the_o good_n that_o be_v reserve_v still_o to_o be_v the_o last_o shall_v oftentimes_o make_v a_o rope_n for_o their_o child_n to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o gallows_n we_o see_v these_o judgement_n of_o god_n before_o our_o eye_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v upright_o &_o not_o think_v that_o those_o which_o have_v gather_v most_o in_o this_o world_n be_v happy_a and_o why_o for_o god_n curse_n be_v always_o at_o their_o tail_n and_o can_v not_o miss_v those_o which_o have_v peel_v and_o poll_v other_o man_n of_o their_o good_n wherefore_o let_v we_o bethink_v we_o to_o be_v content_v with_o the_o little_a that_o god_n shall_v give_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o walk_v continual_o in_o his_o fear_n he_o will_v be_v a_o good_a fosterfather_n to_o we_o and_o never_o fail_v we_o if_o we_o

show_v himself_o so_o familiar_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n we_o also_o may_v behold_v he_o as_o he_o have_v declare_v himself_o there_o and_o that_o there_o with_o all_o we_o may_v make_v such_o a_o trial_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n as_o we_o may_v peceyve_v the_o wretchedness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a and_o fly_v unto_o the_o remedy_n which_o he_o have_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v to_o have_v recourse_n unto_o his_o mercy_n and_o to_o pray_v he_o to_o guide_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o

special_o with_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v his_o child_n because_o he_o have_v print_v his_o image_n in_o we_o there_o be_v therefore_o a_o piece_n of_o unthankfulness_n in_o job._n but_o

and_o also_o hang_v upon_o his_o goodness_n without_o grieve_v ourselves_o too_o much_o when_o man_n be_v favourable_a too_o we_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v it_o for_o our_o comfort_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o rest_n still_o upon_o man_n for_o god_n can_v curse_v their_o labour_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o shall_v rise_v early_o and_o go_v late_o too_o bed_n and_o yet_o speed_v never_o the_o better_a then_o need_v we_o no_o more_o but_o god_n blessing_n and_o though_o we_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o help_n his_o only_a grace_n will_v be_v enough_o for_o we_o but_o

that_o god_n do_v in_o this_o world_n render_v every_o man_n that_o which_o be_v prepare_v for_o he_o for_o it_o be_v too_o much_o brutishness_n to_o have_v any_o such_o thought_n job_n they_o have_v

righteous_a as_o well_o as_o the_o unrightuous_a both_o by_o hail_n and_o tempest_n for_o affliction_n be_v common_a to_o both_o part_n and_o contrariwise_o he_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o shine_v both_o upon_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o yet_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o be_v always_o persuade_v as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o be_v god_n scourge_n whereby_o he_o intend_v to_o correct_v our_o sin_n in_o send_v we_o hail_n tempest_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o righteous_a have_v whereof_o to_o rejoice_v for_o they_o know_v that_o god_n chastise_v of_o they_o be_v through_o a_o fatherly_a good_a will_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o perish_v as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o temporal_a chastizement_n ought_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o sin_n according_a as_o they_o be_v record_n of_o god_n displeasure_n nevertheless_o if_o we_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n &_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o he_o will_v always_o pity_v we_o and_o handle_v we_o with_o mercy_n &_o not_o with_o rigour_n and_o although_o he_o correct_v we_o yet_o shall_v it_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n &_o welfare_n god_n they_o show_v well_o by_o outward_a sign_n that_o he_o make_v war_n against_o those_o that_o serve_v he_o and_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n but_o yet_o what_o soever_o befall_v they_o all_o redound_v to_o their_o welfare_n because_o he_o abate_v his_o rigour_n towards_o they_o and_o make_v the_o temporal_a chastizement_n to_o serve_v they_o for_o medicine_n &_o salve_n notwithstanding_o that_o general_o correction_n do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o sin_n â–ª_o and_o therewithal_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v at_o war_n with_o god_n and_o that_o we_o deserve_v to_o have_v he_o fight_v against_o we_o and_o arm_v all_o his_o

noman_n dwell_v and_o that_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v so_o moisten_v as_o it_o shall_v yield_v fruit_n wherein_o this_o matter_n be_v still_o continue_a namely_o that_o god_n work_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n even_o in_o the_o common_a order_n of_o nature_n as_o we_o be_v abash_v and_o our_o wit_n be_v dazzle_v at_o it_o no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v see_v his_o do_n yea_o and_o conceive_v some_o reason_n of_o they_o but_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v cast_v our_o card_n thorough_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v drive_v too_o conclude_v that_o god_n wisdom_n be_v hide_v from_o we_o ay_o meene_z even_o in_o all_o these_o manifest_a thing_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o cause_n above_o we_o whereunto_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o reach_v therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o always_o to_o come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n to_o comprehend_v thorough_o what_o be_v contain_v here_o we_o see_v the_o rain_n fall_v and_o we_o know_v in_o effect_n that_o it_o be_v engender_v of_o vapour_n but_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o rain_n cause_v the_o earth_n to_o bud_v yea_o and_o that_o the_o very_a wilderness_n where_o dwell_v no_o inhabiter_n wax_v green_a also_o we_o see_v a_o thing_n to_o wonder_v just_o at_o it_o will_v trouble_v a_o man_n curse_o to_o water_v a_o garden_n and_o for_o all_o his_o travel_n and_o labour_n he_o can_v bring_v nothing_o about_o except_o god_n give_v influence_n from_o heaven_n all_o the_o water_n in_o the_o world_n will_v do_v no_o good_a unless_o some_o rain_n or_o dew_n fall_v from_o heaven_n one_o of_o these_o have_v more_o workfulnesse_n in_o it_o than_o all_o the_o water_n that_o can_v be_v bring_v by_o man_n device_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o desert_n grow_v green_a therein_o god_n intend_v to_o show_v by_o assure_a token_n the_o effectualness_n of_o the_o rain_n which_o he_o send_v for_o in_o little_a gardines_n man_n be_v continual_o water_v of_o they_o and_o afterward_o come_v the_o rain_n and_o the_o dew_n so_o as_o thing_n grow_v there_o even_o apparent_o to_o sight_n but_o look_v upon_o a_o waste_n ground_n which_o be_v burn_v up_o too_o day_n and_o noman_n water_v it_o and_o the_o soil_n be_v dry_a of_o itself_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n make_v it_o to_o bring_v forth_o abundance_n of_o herb_n and_o grass_n by_o mean_n of_o his_o rain_n sith_o we_o see_v such_o thing_n the_o more_o familiar_o that_o god_n show_v himself_o to_o we_o the_o just_a cause_n have_v we_o to_o glorify_v he_o and_o if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o we_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n excuse_v ourselves_o of_o unthankfulness_n be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a matter_n that_o we_o see_v god_n miracle_n with_o our_o eye_n yea_o he_o point_v we_o to_o they_o with_o his_o finger_fw-la and_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o

with_o our_o foot_n and_o yet_o we_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o cast_v our_o eye_n thither_o to_o say_v bliss_v be_v god_n that_o make_v the_o earth_n bear_v fruit_n after_o this_o sort_n furthermore_o let_v we_o therewithal_o bethink_v we_o of_o our_o own_o rudeness_n and_o dullness_n i_o can_v tell_v how_o one_o branch_n of_o a_o herb_n spring_v forth_o i_o see_v it_o with_o my_o eye_n but_o the_o
