think_v they_o fear_v god_n well_o when_o they_o have_v some_o fond_a devotion_n towards_o he_o as_o we_o see_v in_o popery_n where_o every_o man_n say_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n

of_o his_o authority_n to_o bestow_v it_o upon_o man_n which_o be_v no_o better_o but_o dung_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o intolerable_a traiterousnesse_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o

for_o if_o we_o do_v it_o of_o our_o own_o accord_n so_o as_o every_o man_n give_v his_o mind_n to_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o it_o by_o other_o but_o forasmuch_o

which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o be_v so_o reasonable_a and_o such_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v learn_v aforehand_o by_o nature_n let_v we_o be_v double_a ashamed_a to_o continue_v still_o unlustie_a and_o at_o leastwise_o not_o to_o be_v touch_v with_o such_o warning_n it_o ought_v to_o shame_v we_o aforehand_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v fain_o to_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o even_o little_a child_n ought_v to_o know_v for_o see_v he_o be_v so_o liberal_a as_o to_o feed_v we_o and_o to_o nourish_v we_o let_v we_o at_o the_o least_o call_v he_o our_o father_n and_o

to_o y_z t_z thing_n which_o even_o nature_n ought_v to_o have_v teach_v us._n but_o if_o we_o continue_v welter_v still_o in_o that_o brutishness_n what_o excuse_n will_v there_o remain_v for_o we_o

that_o as_o i_o say_v be_v not_o all_o that_o a_o christian_a man_n have_v to_o do_v he_o must_v proceed_v yet_o further_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o send_v we_o trouble_v

to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o moses_n tell_v we_o here_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n require_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v do_v as_o the_o wretched_a and_o ignorant_a infidel_n do_v to_o

like_o brute_n beast_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o have_v the_o more_o stay_n of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o follow_v they_o not_o as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v nowadays_o in_o general_a that_o we_o must_v not_o follow_v the_o step_n of_o the_o papist_n because_o that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o term_n by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n service_n be_v but_o a_o heap_n of_o vain_a

have_v be_v execute_v as_o have_v be_v for_o our_o benefit_n and_o behoof_n christianity_n have_v not_o be_v so_o corrupt_v as_o it_o be_v neither_o have_v religion_n be_v so_o imbase_v as_o we_o

even_o before_o we_o know_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v be_v mistaught_a but_o that_o excuse_v not_o our_o disobedience_n but_o that_o we_o ourselves_o to_o the_o

for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o god_n shall_v bring_v we_o home_o to_o ourselves_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o say_v look_v on_o thyself_o what_o if_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n

a_o exhortation_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o moses_n exhort_v the_o people_n when_o he_o say_v let_v not_o god_n word_n be_v vain_a towards_o you_o beware_v that_o you_o

text_n when_o he_o say_v towards_o you_o he_o mean_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o people_n the_o word_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a and_o this_o will_v well_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o say_n of_o esay_n in_o his_o five_o and_o fiftith_a chapter_n 55.10_o isa._n 55.10_o which_o text_n be_v misexpound_v likewise_o but_o the_o right_n expound_v of_o the_o one_o will_v be_v a_o key_n to_o open_v the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o other_o it_o be_v say_v in_o esay_n my_o word_n shall_v not_o return_v empty_a unto_o i_o but_o it_o shall_v yield_v his_o fruit_n there_o as_o i_o send_v it_o unto_o some_o have_v think_v that_o our_o lord_n mean_v there_o that_o whensoever_o his_o word_n be_v preach_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a but_o that_o it_o shall_v yield_v profit_n by_o give_v faith_n to_o the_o hearer_n but_o the_o prophet_n esay_n mean_v not_o so_o by_o those_o word_n what_o do_v he_o then_o he_o confirm_v or_o warrant_v god_n promise_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o doubt_v of_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o they_o as_o for_o example_n god_n promise_v we_o to_o prosper_v we_o by_o his_o blessing_n to_o

assault_n of_o satan_n he_o will_v guard_v we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v short_a god_n promise_n be_v infinite_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o be_v so_o weak_a heart_a that_o we_o conceive_v not_o what_o he_o say_v but_o rather_o we_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v disappoint_v if_o we_o trust_v to_o his_o promise_n there_o need_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o toss_v we_o too_o and_o fro_o for_o to_o our_o seem_v all_o god_n promise_n be_v but_o deceit_n for_o this_o cause_n he_o say_v no_o like_a as_o the_o rain_n fall_v not_o in_o vain_a but_o moisten_v

that_o i_o will_v perform_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v all_o that_o ever_o i_o have_v speak_v by_o my_o prophet_n so_o in_o this_o text_n moses_n say_v the_o word_n shall_v not_o be_v void_a towards_o you_o that_o be_v to_o say_v so_o you_o receive_v it_o think_v not_o that_o god_n will_v leave_v you_o with_o your_o mouth_n open_a like_o silly_a hungerstaruen_a folk_n so_o as_o you_o shall_v hang_v

peceyve_v that_o when_o his_o word_n be_v preach_v unto_o you_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o himself_o be_v present_a to_o put_v the_o thing_n in_o proof_n and_o execution_n which_o he_o have_v declare_v thus_o we_o see_v now_o the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v take_v some_o taste_n of_o god_n word_n and_o receive_v it_o with_o all_o

and_o chief_a welfare_n and_o that_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o content_v ourselves_o when_o our_o lord_n vouchsafe_v to_o direct_v his_o word_n so_o unto_o us._n for_o why_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v foad_v with_o vain_a hope_n but_o we_o shall_v feel_v in_o deed_n how_o our_o lord_n mean_v to_o try_v our_o faith_n in_o such_o wise_a for_o a_o time_n as_o that_o he_o will_v yet_o nevertheless_o perform_v all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v speak_v now_o moses_n confirm_v this_o exhortation_n yet_o better_a by_o this_o which_o he_o add_v it_o be_v your_o life_n and_o your_o welfare_n by_o it_o shall_v your_o day_n be_v prolong_v in_o the_o land_n which_o you_o go_v to_o possess_v hereby_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o moses_n make_v not_o a_o exhortation_n to_o the_o people_n to_o show_v that_o the_o word_n be_v not_o vain_a but_o rather_o that_o he_o make_v they_o a_o promise_n that_o the_o word_n shall_v have_v force_n and_o virtue_n continual_o as_o it_o be_v without_o interruption_n it_o be_v your_o life_n say_v he_o and_o through_o the_o power_n thereof_o shall_v you_o prolong_v your_o day_n he_o show_v then_o that_o until_o such_o time_n as_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v his_o law_n to_o the_o people_n they_o be_v as_o wretched_a folk_n that_o wist_v not_o where_o to_o have_v any_o rest_n no_o more_o than_o all_o other_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n create_v of_o we_o and_o his_o set_n of_o we_o in_o this_o world_n be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o look_v at_o he_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o hope_v for_o all_o good_a thing_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o what_o we_o be_v so_o earthly_a that_o we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n come_v nigh_o he_o and_o indeed_o he_o be_v too_o far_o off_o and_o though_o we_o think_v upon_o he_o yet_o

state_n be_v until_o our_o lord_n have_v draw_v we_o to_o he_o and_o communicate_v himself_o to_o we_o by_o mean_n of_o his_o word_n now_o when_o we_o once_o know_v that_o god_n word_n bring_v we_o

be_v bring_v unto_o us._n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o moses_n treat_v here_o of_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n word_n god_n also_o do_v bind_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n with_o

nay_o rather_o we_o drag_v back_o from_o that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o righteousness_n and_o upright_o deal_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o bow_v we_o and_o to_o give_v we_o such_o teachablenesse_n as_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o moreover_o when_o he_o have_v grant_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o have_v such_o zeal_n and_o
