by_o the_o scripture_n joh._n 5.39_o say_v christ_n search_v the_o scripture_n for_o therein_o you_o think_v to_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o they_o testify_v of_o i_o this_o be_v out_o of_o

john_n bare_a witness_n of_o i_o and_o what_o be_v say_v of_o john_n may_v be_v say_v of_o other_o the_o saint_n bear_v witness_n of_o god_n therefore_o in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o philippian_n they_o be_v say_v to_o shine_v as_o light_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v they_o make_v god_n know_v to_o man_n so_o by_o these_o four_o way_n god_n make_v it_o know_v namely_o by_o the_o law_n of_o

last_o to_o they_o within_o the_o church_n that_o be_v the_o faithful_a and_o these_o be_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a now_o the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v evident_a be_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v this_o truth_n evident_a this_o be_v enough_o to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v god_n because_o it_o be_v universal_o do_v go_v to_o all_o nation_n to_o savage_a man_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o remote_a from_o the_o light_n that_o come_v not_o near_o any_o mean_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n yet_o these_o man_n believe_v there_o ●s_a a_o god_n every_o man_n without_o exception_n do_v so_o now_o where_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a effect_n it_o must_v needs_o come_v from_o a_o universal_a cause_n therefore_o from_o god_n himself_o now_o this_o be_v not_o add_v in_o vain_a deduce_v but_o this_o you_o may_v observe_v in_o that_o it_o come_v from_o god_n first_o if_o it_o come_v from_o god_n it_o be_v not_o a_o deceivable_a rule_n it_o be_v not_o a_o fancy_n but_o a_o firm_a truth_n which_o you_o may_v build_v on_o again_o if_o god_n make_v it_o know_v it_o be_v not_o do_v slight_o whatsoever_o god_n do_v if_o he_o make_v it_o know_v it_o be_v do_v to_o purpose_n and_o effectual_o if_o he_o have_v bless_v any_o he_o shall_v be_v blessed_v so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o reveal_v so_o far_o it_o be_v to_o purpose_n and_o this_o make_v man_n more_o without_o excuse_n again_o if_o god_n have_v make_v it_o know_v than_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n you_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o you_o must_v not_o neglect_v it_o because_o it_o be_v god_n that_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o if_o it_o have_v be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o accident_n or_o any_o creature_n you_o may_v have_v give_v the_o less_o heed_n to_o it_o bu●_n god_n have_v make_v it_o know_v it_o be_v of_o special_a moment_n you_o must_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n attend_v to_o it_o last_o in_o that_o god_n have_v make_v it_o know_v than_o you_o may_v know_v it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o perfection_n that_o be_v give_v to_o every_o man_n in_o observe_v of_o which_o he_o shall_v find_v happiness_n in_o break_v of_o which_o consist_v his_o destruction_n and_o ruin_n when_o god_n give_v a_o rule_n in_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o man_n shall_v be_v make_v happy_a as_o in_o the_o break_n of_o it_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v miserable_a so_o you_o see_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o what_o be_v make_v know_v a_o certain_a measure_n of_o truth_n divide_v according_a to_o god_n will_n second_o how_o it_o be_v make_v know_v by_o nature_n by_o his_o work_n by_o scripture_n by_o the_o faithful_a three_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v it_o know_v therefore_o not_o a_o deceivable_a truth_n not_o a_o fancy_n or_o dream_n but_o to_o purpose_n therefore_o you_o must_v not_o neglect_v it_o in_o observe_v of_o it_o be_v happiness_n and_o in_o break_v of_o it_o you_o shall_v find_v there_o will_v come_v ruin_n and_o destruction_n and_o misery_n upon_o you_o 1_o now_o we_o will_v come_v to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o first_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o truth_n make_v know_v to_o man_n by_o god_n himself_o truth_n then_o learn_v hence_o to_o aggravate_v your_o sin_n to_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o your_o sin_n hence_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v that_o the_o looseness_n and_o licentiousness_n man_n take_v to_o themselves_o against_o this_o truth_n be_v more_o desperate_a and_o heinous_a and_o inexcusable_a for_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v it_o know_v to_o they_o for_o every_o precept_n of_o man_n be_v of_o more_o or_o less_o moment_n according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o author_n the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v value_v according_a to_o the_o person_n that_o give_v the_o law_n therefore_o man_n law_n be_v of_o some_o moment_n but_o god_n law_n be_v of_o more_o moment_n this_o truth_n be_v most_o press_v in_o scripture_n when_o christ_n preach_v the_o word_n he_o say_v every_o sin_n be_v increase_v that_o be_v commit_v against_o this_o word_n when_o jonas_n come_v to_o niniveh_n it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sin_n if_o they_o have_v not_o repent_v god_n will_v have_v visit_v they_o for_o neglect_v the_o word_n of_o jonas_n but_o a_o great_a than_o jonas_n be_v here_o say_v christ_n so_o the_o queen_n of_o the_o south_n come_v to_o hear_v the_o wisdom_n of_o

moses_n law_n shall_v die_v under_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n how_o shall_v they_o escape_v that_o neglect_n so_o great_a salvation_n which_o begin_v to_o be_v preach_v by_o the_o lord_n himself_o he_o have_v make_v it_o know_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o neglect_v it_o therefore_o you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o emphasis_n god_n put_v on_o that_o have_v thou_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o which_o i_o bid_v thou_o shall_v not_o eat_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o thing_n be_v a_o small_a matter_n in_o itself_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o great_a god_n i_o have_v command_v it_o and_o thou_o do_v neglect_v it_o therefore_o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o if_o god_n give_v the_o law_n it_o be_v he_o now_o god_n name_n be_v take_v in_o vain_a when_o his_o law_n be_v now_o observe_v fro_o though_o the_o disobedience_n be_v immediate_o against_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v terminate_o against_o god_n himself_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v against_o the_o scripture_n be_v do_v against_o god_n himself_o therefore_o say_v god_n to_o saul_n in_o that_o thou_o

therefore_o think_v when_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o die_v or_o to_o any_o case_n of_o extremity_n and_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o your_o conscience_n and_o tell_v you_o thou_o have_v break_v the_o law_n i_o give_v thou_o thou_o have_v rebel_v against_o i_o thou_o have_v give_v thy_o member_n as_o weapon_n of_o unrighteousness_n against_o i_o now_o i_o will_v be_v avenge_v of_o thou_o thou_o shall_v know_v i_o be_o just_a thou_o shall_v know_v who_o it_o be_v that_o thou_o have_v offend_v this_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n if_o we_o minister_n come_v and_o tell_v you_o you_o must_v not_o

to_o neglect_v it_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n do_v not_o say_v of_o sin_n as_o you_o be_v wont_a indeed_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n and_o i_o will_v i_o can_v do_v otherwise_o but_o see_v they_o be_v sin_n against_o god_n know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o sin_n against_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n this_o will_v make_v thou_o think_v of_o sin_n in_o another_o manner_n therefore_o
