As for the good thing that is for to come, he shall not see it, but dwell in a dry place of the wilderness, even in a salt & unoccupied land. O but blessed is the man that putteth his trust in the LORD, & whose hope the LORD is himself. For he shall be as a tree that is plan ted by the waters side, which spreadeth ⟨image 41⟩out the root unto moistness whom the heat can not hurt when it cometh,1 but his leaves are green & in the time of drought shall he not be careful, neither shall he cease at any time to bring forth his •ruite. Secondly ye shall note, that after God hath described him self to be almighty, that is, passing all other in power, it is so great, infinite, & unmeasurable, he expresseth the duty of so many as will serve him, as they ought. Walk before me, 2saith he, and be perfect. Lo here is your flour Pure Innocency. He that observeth this precept of god, can not displease, err or offend, butte work pure innocency before god. Walk before me, saith he, & be perfect.3

Secondely ye shall note, that after God hath described him selfe to be almyghtye, that is, passynge all other in power, it is so greate, infinite, & vnmeasurable, he expresseth the duety of so many as wyll serue hym, as they ought.
