and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o josua_n his_o time_n be_v almost_o .400_o year_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o very_o likely_a that_o the_o son_n of_o he_o which_o build_v so_o ancient_a a_o city_n

in_o the_o ix_o chap._n of_o the_o book_n of_o josua_n that_o they_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v therefore_o move_v thereunto_o because_o they_o have_v hear_v what_o thing_n god_n

out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o can_v gather_v nothing_o of_o this_o thing_n peradventure_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o some_o that_o he_o abide_v still_o in_o his_o ungodlynesse_n because_o he_o go_v away_o from_o thence_o neither_o abode_n he_o with_o the_o jew_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a reason_n for_o jethro_n also_o depart_v from_o moses_n who_o he_o come_v to_o see_v in_o the_o

howbeit_o i_o think_v it_o good_a this_o to_o be_v add_v that_o some_o judge_v that_o prodition_n &_o espial_n do_v not_o much_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o and_o that_o it_o may_v sometime_o

of_o his_o country_n &_o be_v also_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n a_o domestical_a spy_v but_o this_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v wise_o speak_v because_o the_o nature_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o definition_n do_v very_o much_o differ_v although_o sometime_o they_o cleave_v both_o in_o one_o man_n so_z that_o the_z same_o man_n may_v be_v both_o a_o betrayer_n &_o a_o spy_v even_o

therefore_o he_o detract_v to_o desire_v a_o sign_n unto_o the_o question_n i_o answer_v that_o after_o a_o sort_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o desire_v sign_n and_o the_o same_o also_o after_o a_o sort_n be_v unlawful_a the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o sentence_n be_v thus_o prove_v when_o holy_a man_n desire_v as_o touch_v any_o unaccustomed_a vocation_n to_o be_v make_v more_o assure_v of_o the_o

with_o such_o doubt_n &_o the_o will_n be_v ready_a yea_o desirous_a to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o than_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o some_o sign_n these_o godly_a man_n can_v not_o be_v accuse_v of_o tempt_v of_o god_n or_o of_o rashness_n for_o who_o soever_o in_o those_o case_n desire_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n use_v to_o offer_v he_o depart_v

to_o desire_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n sometime_o geve_v and_o free_o offer_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v prohibit_v as_o unlawful_a the_o thing_n want_v no_o example_n moses_n when_o he_o have_v

take_v up_o thy_o bed_n rise_v and_o walk_v wherefore_o miracle_n be_v desire_v of_o holy_a man_n and_o that_o just_o either_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v the_o more_o assure_v of_o their_o

miracle_n caution_n in_o desire_v of_o miracle_n let_v they_o desire_v the_o same_o not_o of_o any_o creature_n but_o of_o god_n only_o and_o in_o ask_v they_o let_v they_o use_v a_o mean_a for_o they_o declare_v that_o they_o will_v or_o desire_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n let_v we_o consider_v after_o what_o manner_n miracle_n be_v unworthe_o and_o unjust_o desire_v first_o there_o be_v some_o miracle_n when_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o desire_v miracle_n which_o therefore_o desire_v miracle_n

the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o not_o by_o the_o lust_n of_o man_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o love_n or_o hatred_n of_o enemy_n we_o must_v understande_v that_o augustine_n have_v write_v towards_o

although_o he_o yet_o hate_v his_o enemy_n but_o then_o shall_v he_o perform_v benevolence_n and_o gentleness_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o he_o which_o come_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o not_o to_o break_v it_o when_o he_o shall_v stretch_v it_o even_o to_o the_o love_n of_o the_o enemy_n for_o that_o degree_n though_o it_o be_v somewhat_o yet_o it_o be_v so_o small_a that_o it_o may_v be_v common_a also_o with_o publican_n neither_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o law_n thou_o shall_v hate_v thy_o enemy_n enemy_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o unperfecte_v to_o hate_v their_o enemy_n be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o commandment_n unto_o the_o just_a man_n but_o as_o a_o permission_n to_o the_o weak_a thus_o much_o he_o write_v with_o who_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v as_o i_o think_v i_o do_v not_o agree_v but_o be_o certain_o persuade_v that_o to_o hate_v our_o enemy_n be_v not_o permit_v of_o god_n no_o not_o to_o the_o unperfect_a for_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a precept_n that_o we_o shall_v love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o neighbour_n who_o be_v our_o neighbour_n and_o he_o be_v our_o neighbour_n who_o we_o help_v by_o any_o occasion_n as_o christ_n have_v declare_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o of_o the_o samaritan_n they_o be_v compare_v as_o enemy_n one_o to_o a_o other_o wherefore_o the_o condition_n of_o enmity_n when_o it_o

augustine_n augustine_n neither_o do_v that_o seem_v to_o make_v much_o to_o the_o purpose_n which_o the_o same_o augustine_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o say_n of_o these_o holy_a man_n be_v no_o

the_o apostel_n be_v also_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o only_o to_o have_v speak_v word_n of_o curse_n as_o paul_n when_o he_o say_v i_o will_v to_o god_n they_o be_v cut_v of_o which_o do_v trouble_v you_o but_o also_o to_o have_v most_o grievous_o punish_v some_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostel_n the_o same_o paul_n deprive_v elimas_n the_o magicien_n of_o his_o sight_n and_o peter_n slay_v ananias_n and_o saphira_n wherefore_o we_o must_v rather_o say_v that_o these_o great_a man_n do_v not_o such_o thing_n of_o a_o hatred_n grant_v to_o unperfect_a man_n but_o that_o they_o be_v drive_v thereunto_o by_o some_o other_o manner_n of_o mean_n distinction_n mark_v the_o distinction_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v we_o must_v make_v this_o distinction_n that_o they_o sometime_o have_v to_o do_v for_o their_o own_o cause_n &_o sometime_o for_o god_n cause_n when_o they_o have_v to_o do_v for_o their_o matter_n all_o their_o

for_o who_o unfeigned_a repentance_n we_o must_v always_o pray_v unto_o god_n but_o if_o they_o seem_v pass_v all_o hope_n it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v that_o their_o sin_n may_v sometime_o at_o

for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o expedient_a that_o their_o sin_n shall_v escape_v unpunished_a for_o when_o it_o be_v jest_n without_o punishment_n it_o be_v mere_a unjustice_n but_o when_o the_o punishment_n of_o god_n be_v adjoin_v unto_o it_o than_o there_o be_v in_o he_o less_o deformitye_n wherefore_o god_n be_v of_o the_o same_o augustine_n call_v very_o well_o not_o a_o cruel_a
