and_o so_o forth_o luke_n 19.42_o but_o take_v this_o in_o short_a that_o esau_n have_v despise_v his_o birth_n right_a and_o sell_v it_o that_o then_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o he_o shall_v

you_o to_o examine_v what_o i_o have_v say_v as_o to_o this_o in_o my_o former_a discourse_n and_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o external_a blessing_n and_o also_o that_o he_o have_v sell_v it_o and_o therefore_o no_o room_n or_o place_n for_o he_o to_o regain_v it_o again_o after_o he_o have_v despise_v it_o although_o he_o may_v seek_v it_o with_o tear_n and_o

fifteen_o verse_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o apostle_n urge_v from_o god_n word_n to_o moses_n verse_n 15._o for_o he_o say_v to_o moses_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n annot._n in_o this_o verse_n we_o may_v see_v paul_n clear_v up_o god_n justice_n in_o cast_v off_o the_o

between_o moses_n and_o the_o lord_n as_o touch_v israel_n and_o say_v the_o lord_n say_v to_o moses_n that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n that_o be_v as_o if_o

on_o this_o people_n for_o they_o be_v a_o rebellious_a stiff_a neck_a people_n therefore_o pray_v not_o nor_o intercede_v for_o they_o for_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v

undertake_v to_o intercede_v for_o they_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o his_o intercession_n use_v many_o motive_n to_o move_v god_n to_o have_v mercy_n on_o they_o 13._o exod._n 32.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o as_o first_o he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o spare_v they_o because_o say_v he_o the_o egyptian_n will_v speak_v and_o say_v for_o mischief_n do_v he_o bring_v they_o out_o that_o he_o may_v slay_v they_o in_o the_o mountain_n second_o moses_n desire_v the_o lord_n to_o remember_v abraham_n isaac_n and_o israel_n viz_o jacob_n thy_o servant_n to_o who_o thou_o swear_v by_o thy_o own_o self_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o i_o will_v multiply_v your_o seed_n as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n these_o and_o such_o like_a motive_n moses_n use_v to_o prevail_v with_o the_o lord_n to_o turn_v away_o his_o anger_n but_o the_o lord_n answer_v be_v that_o israel_n be_v a_o stiff-necked_a people_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o let_v i_o alone_o that_o i_o may_v consume_v they_o and_o i_o will_v make_v of_o thou_o a_o great_a nation_n nevertheless_o moses_n be_v not_o satisfy_v but_o do_v go_v on_o to_o

intercede_v with_o great_a importunity_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v lord_n if_o it_o will_v not_o be_v that_o thy_o anger_n turn_v away_o from_o this_o people_n have_v mercy_n on_o they_o although_o thou_o blot_v i_o out_o of_o thy_o book_n the_o lord_n answer_n be_v please_v god_n will_v no_o do_v injustice_n to_o punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a moses_n may_v not_o appoint_v god_n who_o he_o shall_v have_v mercy_n on_o for_o god_n know_v better_o have_v moses_n who_o be_v fit_a subject_n for_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o please_v and_o not_o who_o moses_n please_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v moses_n what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v to_o appoint_v i_o who_o i_o shall_v have_v mercy_n on_o and_o who_o i_o shall_v blot_v out_o of_o my_o book_n i_o tell_v thou_o that_o i_o be_o a_o god_n of_o justice_n righteousness_n and_o faithfulness_n so_o that_o i_o can_v punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a and_o therefore_o provoke_v i_o not_o to_o pardon_v israel_n and_o blot_v thou_o out_o of_o my_o book_n for_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o such_o as_o sin_n will_v i_o blot_v out_o of_o my_o book_n and_o as_o for_o this_o people_n i_o have_v find_v they_o a_o rebellious_a and_o a_o stiffnecked_n people_n but_o as_o for_o thou_o i_o have_v know_v by_o name_n viz._n obedient_a meek_a lowly_a and_o humble_a before_o i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v all_o my_o goodness_n pass_v before_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v proclaim_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v be_v gracious_a unto_o who_o i_o will_v be_v gracious_a with_o out_o thy_o appointment_n and_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n so_o then_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o lord_n tell_v moses_n that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n to_o take_v off_o moses_n from_o move_v he_o to_o spare_v israel_n that_o be_v a_o rebellious_a people_n and_o to_o blot_v out_o moses_n that_o walk_v humble_o before_o he_o so_o that_o god_n will_v not_o as_o aforesaid_a punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a and_o so_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a the_o which_o be_v who_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o and_o who_o he_o will_v not_o because_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n &_o that_o be_v brief_o thus_o god_n will_v and_o

i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n that_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n be_v the_o people_n of_o who_o and_o to_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o say_v he_o

whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o true_a ministry_n have_v not_o so_o large_a a_o licence_n as_o you_o travel_a minister_n have_v unless_o be_v be_v the_o apostle_n they_o go_v from_o place_n

jeremiah_n speak_v large_o of_o but_o i_o shall_v come_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o prove_v that_o they_o viz._n the_o daughter_n of_o sodom_n shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n and_o that_o also_o the_o earth_n viz._n the_o place_n of_o sodom_n shall_v be_v restore_v and_o then_o i_o have_v full_o prove_v the_o matter_n and_o that_o the_o place_n of_o sodom_n shall_v be_v
