ime will come, |
when euery man and woman that |
feareth God, shall haue praise of | [Note z: _1 Cor. 4. 5._]
God[z], 1 Cor. 4. which is the best |
praise, when all is done[a], 2 Cor. | [Note a: _2 Cor. 10. 18. Iob. 12.

Dead_ (saith Saint _Peter_[d]) | [Note d: _1 Pet. 4. 5._]
readie to commend them, whom the |
world hath condemned; and to |
condemne them, whom worldlings haue |
commended: readie to reueale vnto |
the whole world the good workes of |
the godly, _Honorifico pietatis |
testimonio_, with an honourable |
approbation of their blessed |
godlinesse; & also to reueale vnto |
the whole world the wicked Deeds of |
the vngodly, _Manifesto impietatis |
vituperio_, with a publike, and |

euerlasting Praise; so that should |
her Husband and Children faile to |
praise Her, which yet they do not, |
for they commend Her in the 29. |
verse of this Chapter, saying: |
_Many daughters haue done |
vertuously; but thou excellest them |

to praise Her, which they will |
neuer do either here or in | [Note g: _Cant. 6. 9._]
Heauen[g]. Here Her remembrance is |
so sweet in all their mouthes, that | [Note h: _Eccles. 39. 10. Eccles.
