that_o he_o do_v it_o of_o purpose_n to_o overthrow_v they_o and_o destroy_v they_o which_o be_v much_o more_o now_o this_o be_v very_o strange_a gear_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o that_o be_v

rise_v up_o so_o against_o israel_n if_o man_n shall_v flee_v always_o to_o this_o gloze_n god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v harden_v that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o will_v not_o hinder_v or_o impeach_v the_o harden_v to_o what_o purpose_n be_v that_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o fond_a kind_n of_o deal_v and_o the_o word_n turn_v show_v it_o well_o behold_v god_n turn_v the_o heart_n whereas_o man_n

thing_n may_v agree_v very_o well_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v harden_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o naughtiness_n and_o yet_o not_o without_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o the_o evil_n proceed_v not_o of_o he_o ne_o aught_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o man_n themselves_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o blame_n and_o

even_o the_o wicked_a sort_n do_v give_v evidence_n against_o themselves_o and_o although_o all_o the_o world_n will_v excuse_v they_o and_o that_o both_o great_a &_o small_a do_v acquit_v they_o yet_o have_v they_o a_o hartbiting_a within_o they_o which_o make_v they_o to_o perceive_v that_o whensoever_o they_o offend_v or_o sin_n they_o do_v it_o willing_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n of_o a_o certain_a lewdness_n and_o with_o their_o own_o wil._n there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n which_o know_v not_o this_o even_o the_o great_a despiser_n of_o god_n that_o be_v say_v i_o even_o they_o

that_o poinâ—_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v that_o god_n harden_v man_n without_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o sin_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o sometime_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v apparent_a and_o whensoever_o god_n punish_v man_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o he_o do_v it_o just_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n now_o one_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v to_o punish_v man_n with_o all_o be_v that_o he_o blind_v they_o that_o he_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o he_o send_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o

the_o thing_n that_o i_o touch_v brief_o before_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n refuse_v of_o the_o faithful_a be_v not_o a_o utter_a reject_v of_o their_o prayer_n as_o though_o their_o call_n upon_o he_o have_v not_o boot_v they_o at_o all_o but_o he_o grant_v they_o general_o that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o their_o salvation_n and_o as_o for_o in_o the_o rest_n he_o cut_v they_o out_o

that_o have_v any_o taste_n of_o religion_n will_v defy_v such_o plague_n and_o separate_v themselves_o from_o they_o lest_o god_n wrap_v they_o up_o with_o they_o in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n

the_o mouth_n of_o man_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o show_v we_o a_o three_o love_n true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o god_n have_v not_o diverse_a affection_n we_o must_v not_o

of_o a_o certain_a pride_n and_o spite_n in_o that_o they_o can_v abide_v that_o the_o whole_a praise_n of_o their_o salvation_n shall_v rest_v in_o god_n alone_o man_n seek_v always_o to_o

whould_v fill_v all_o thing_n with_o blood_n and_o violate_v so_o many_o image_n of_o god_n as_o come_v in_o their_o way_n &_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v suffer_v i_o pray_v you_o be_v it_o

let_v we_o condemn_v hatred_n in_o ourselves_o by_o abstain_v from_o all_o malice_n and_o revengement_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o if_o we_o deal_v with_o such_o uprightness_n

of_o their_o own_o salvation_n or_o welfare_n now_o furthermore_o moses_n add_v that_o god_n affection_n towards_o that_o people_n &_o his_o love_a of_o they_o to_o choose_v their_o seed_n proceed_v

the_o first_o word_n which_o he_o use_v signify_v sometime_o to_o cleave_v unto_o &_o sometime_o to_o take_v pleasure_n but_o here_o the_o proper_a &_o natural_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n

so_o and_o therefore_o god_n can_v well_o root_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n he_o can_v well_o make_v the_o papist_n dumb_a and_o altogether_o

say_v lord_n thou_o know_v what_o be_v meet_v for_o i_o vouchsafe_v i_o beseech_v thou_o to_o send_v it_o i_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o man_n be_v so_o gad_v and_o that_o their_o nature_n lead_v they_o

and_o to_o the_o spring_n head_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o god_n free_a goodness_n which_o be_v high_a in_o degree_n as_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v at_o
