chastisement_n be_v when_o god_n have_v once_o pull_v down_o our_o pride_n and_o teach_v we_o to_o bear_v his_o yoke_n we_o can_v stoop_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o we_o will_v make_v no_o great_a a_o

and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o such_o as_o make_v war_n wrongful_o and_o froward_o consider_v not_o that_o their_o ambition_n and_o covetousness_n shall_v be_v curse_v of_o god_n in_o

it_o and_o whether_o god_n do_v give_v he_o entrance_n or_o no_o or_o else_o the_o end_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v curse_v of_o god_n and_o hereunto_o moses_n add_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o

&_o common_a weal_n have_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o themselves_o but_o for_o that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o world_n to_o be_v so_o govern_v therefore_o when_o any_o man_n go_v about_o to_o change_v the_o border_n that_o god_n have_v set_v he_o do_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v to_o violate_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o end_n thereof_o must_v needs_o be_v curse_v be_v this_o mark_v

against_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a special_o when_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v we_o and_o that_o such_o refusal_n proceed_v of_o wilfulness_n and_o malice_n which_o happen_v

that_o point_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o be_v in_o god_n favour_n neither_o do_v god_n fail_v to_o regard_v his_o necessity_n so_o then_o let_v we_o note_v that_o all_o the_o prayer_n of_o moses_n

to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evilly_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o though_o man_n covet_v to_o be_v skilful_a and_o to_o have_v wisdom_n and_o ability_n to_o

2.14.15_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n have_v leave_v we_o some_o discretion_n so_o as_o we_o know_v it_o be_v evil_a to_o commit_v theft_n whoredom_n murder_n etc._n etc._n but_o yet_o

follow_v the_o doctrine_n that_o our_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o whereby_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o put_v this_o

to_o he_o if_o we_o consider_v but_o what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v sure_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o dismay_v as_o for_o example_n when_o god_n promise_v issue_n unto_o abraham_n he_o be_v a_o man_n

yesterday_o i_o begin_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o in_o old_a time_n y_fw-fr e_o tithe_n be_v appoint_v to_o the_o levite_n because_o they_o serve_v at_o y_z e_z altar_n &_o that_o god_n will_v not_o

inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v reserve_v they_o to_o y_z t_z purpose_n his_o will_n be_v y_o it_o they_o shall_v give_v themselves_o whole_o thereunto_o that_o be_v you_o e_o cause_n why_o he_o exempt_v they_o from_o till_v of_o y_fw-fr e_o ground_n and_o from_o such_o other_o labour_n beside_o this_o there_o be_v also_o a_o other_o reason_n which_o be_v y_z t_z they_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o

in_o two_o tribe_n in_o stead_n of_o y_fw-fr t_o one_o so_o as_o ephraim_n and_o manasses_n the_o son_n of_o joseph_n make_v two_o head_n and_o so_o be_v there_o twelve_o portion_n of_o y_fw-fr t_o

bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o show_v such_o gentleness_n and_o
that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o judge_n speak_v unto_o the_o man_n to_o persuade_v he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o if_o the_o man_n will_v not_o consent_v

any_o force_n and_o violence_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v simple_o command_v as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o i_o be_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n will_v constrain_v a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o i_o think_v good_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o the_o law_n constrain_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o their_o bound_n and_o not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o say_v what_o i_o command_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v do_v it_o

to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o shame_n that_o be_v do_v in_o pluck_v off_o of_o their_o shoe_n &_o in_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n it_o serve_v to_o provoke_v man_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n the_o better_a yet_o nevertheless_o if_o a_o man_n have_v rather_o sustain_v this_o reproach_n than_o to_o take_v wife_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v

unto_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o any_o carnal_a kindred_n privilege_v as_o the_o race_n and_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n be_v for_o god_n adopt_v we_o nowadays_o under_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v ingraff_v by_o faith_n into_o his_o church_n and_o so_o make_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n for_o so_o much_o therefore_o as_o the_o

y_a e_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v give_v in_o possession_n unto_o the_o people_n nowadays_o you_o e_o whole_a earth_n be_v y_z e_z dwell_v place_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n &_o although_o they_o

nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o

to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n be_v call_v father_n and_o likewise_o the_o church_n have_v general_o y_o e_z name_n and_o title_n of_o mother_n because_o she_o conceive_v the_o child_n of_o god_n now_o albeit_o that_o all_o have_v not_o that_o office_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o a_o private_a person_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n may_v begette_v spiritual_a child_n unto_o god_n if_o he_o have_v occasion_n and_o ability_n to_o win_v a_o poor_a soul_n &_o to_o inlighten_v he_o with_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o then_o bestow_v our_o pain_n to_o this_o end_n know_v that_o if_o the_o carnal_a marriage_n be_v so_o precious_a under_o the_o law_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sure_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v make_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o

no_o force_n of_o we_o to_o marry_v against_o our_o will_n but_o of_o the_o win_n of_o wife_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o church_n we_o may_v always_o be_v the_o more_o firm_o link_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o our_o condition_n be_v more_o gentle_a and_o sweet_a than_o that_o which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v stir_v up_o

what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o effect_n as_o touch_v this_o law_n and_o now_o we_o see_v that_o although_o it_o be_v no_o long_o in_o use_n yet_o may_v we_o gather_v some_o profit_n

the_o wisdom_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o &_o the_o discretion_n to_o apply_v it_o well_o unto_o our_o use_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o two_o man_n be_v at_o strife_n and_o one_o of_o their_o wife_n come_v

in_o effect_n whereat_o god_n amed_z in_o this_o law_n and_o so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o under_o one_o example_n he_o mean_v to_o give_v we_o a_o general_a instruction_n as_o touch_v all_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o now_o as_o concern_v the_o special_a case_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o we_o see_v how_o the_o woman_n may_v have_v somewhat_o for_o her_o excuse_n

that_o his_o glory_n may_v shine_v forth_o in_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n in_o say_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v that_o

unto_o he_o that_z y_z e_z land_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a heritage_n whereunto_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n be_v to_o attain_v here_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a record_n that_o although_o
