that death by reason of sin entered into the world / so that the integrity and perfectness of man's nature by sin is lost / and made like unto the nature of the brute bests / fruits / and herbis of the filled. Job. 14. and Isay cap. 22.40. Eccl. 14. Psal. 102. therefore god for sin being anger / punisheth the miserable nature of man being spoiled of his original and first perfection with many calamities as David saith Psal. 89. Defecimus in ira tua. That is as much to say / thou being anger ⟨p. LIIII⟩for sin we are subject unto death. Read the hole psalm if thou canst. it is Moses prayer where in is declared how brief / and miserable the lief of man is for sin. unto this natural corruption is annexed our wilful malice and contempt of God / as we see in Cain / and Esau / like wise in this people of Israel / which were diligently instructed / and godly brought up by Adam / Isaac and Moses: yea in our selves that daily read and here the word of God yet nothing the better. Therefore Moses saith that God led them in the wilder / ness to punish there sin. Which is the principal cause of all calamities. then punisheth he to prove such as be his / whether they will persevere with his commandment or not. Thus tempted he Abraham / and Jacob for the space of all his lief. and layeth more adversities many times upon such as be of his true church then upon other / As these examples declare. Manasseh the tyrant cut Isaiah the prophet a sunder with a saw / Apryes killed Jeremiah The Bishops Zechariah / Herod John Baptiste / with other. When such adversities happen: let no man depart from the true word of God / but say with Micah the prophet cap. 7. I will sustain the punishment of God / for I have offended him. with Esa. 64. cap. behold we have offended / and long continued ⟨p. LV⟩in sin wherefore thou art anger. God when he punisheth: worketh too god deeds at one time. Correcteth the sin / and calleth the sinner to penance / as we have Examples in Dauyd / Osias and Manasseh. and saint Paul saith
