towards_o those_o that_o live_v in_o the_o church_n secret_a judgement_n must_v be_v leave_v to_o god_n and_o till_o god_n manifest_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n we_o must_v hold_v they_o all_o elect_v this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o all_o his_o epistle_n write_v to_o the_o corinth_n 1._o corinth_n 1.2_o he_o call_v they_o all_o sanctify_a and_o to_o

unto_o we_o namely_o the_o great_a impediment_n which_o may_v hinder_v the_o same_o now_o follow_v the_o second_o argument_n or_o reason_n whereby_o his_o faith_n be_v commend_v to_o wit_n abraham_n

that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o up_o even_o from_o the_o dead_a here_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n that_o make_v abraham_n to_o offer_v his_o son_n and_o yet_o believe_v the_o promise_n that_o in_o he_o his_o seed_n shall_v be_v call_v we_o may_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o abraham_n have_v rather_o have_v die_v himself_o if_o it_o may_v have_v stand_v with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o to_o have_v sacrifice_v his_o son_n how_o then_o do_v he_o induce_v himself_o to_o offer_v he_o up_o ans._n by_o this_o which_o be_v here_o set_v down_o he_o reason_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o up_o even_o from_o the_o dead_a here_o be_v diverse_a point_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o we_o first_o observe_v the_o text_n say_v not_o that_o abraham_n murmur_v or_o reason_v against_o god_n but_o reason_v with_o himself_o that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v up_o his_o son_n again_o and_o thereby_o induce_v himself_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n unto_o god_n hence_o we_o learn_v that_o when_o god_n lay_v upon_o we_o any_o hard_a commandment_n we_o must_v not_o plead_v the_o case_n with_o god_n or_o murmur_v against_o he_o but_o with_o all_o quietness_n and_o meekness_n obey_v this_o be_v a_o notable_a grace_n of_o god_n commend_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n himself_o in_o rest_n and_o quietness_n say_v god_n isaiah_n 30.15_o shall_v be_v your_o strength_n in_o

strength_n stand_v in_o these_o two_o in_o silence_n or_o rest_n and_o in_o quietness_n by_o these_o we_o shall_v be_v enable_v when_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n offer_v strange_a fire_n before_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v there_o go_v out_o a_o fire_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o devour_v they_o so_o they_o die_v before_o the_o lord_n 10.1.2_o now_o when_o aaron_n their_o father_n ask_v moses_n a_o cause_n hereof_o moses_n say_v it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n speak_v he_o will_v be_v glorify_v in_o all_o that_o come_v near_o he_o which_o when_o

nothing_o because_o thou_o lord_n do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o special_a point_n for_o we_o to_o learn_v and_o practice_n we_o must_v not_o grudge_v or_o repine_v at_o god_n hard_a commandment_n nor_o plead_v the_o case_n with_o he_o but_o in_o all_o quietness_n and_o silence_n obey_v god_n in_o all_o that_o he_o say_v unto_o us._n again_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abraham_n reason_v that_o god_n be_v able_a etc._n etc._n here_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n that_o believe_v to_o have_v good_a knowledge_n in_o god_n word_n that_o when_o a_o temptation_n come_v against_o his_o faith_n by_o knowledge_n and_o reason_v out_o of_o god_n word_n he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o put_v back_o the_o same_o for_o all_o our_o reason_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v ground_v on_o the_o word_n so_o do_v abraham_n in_o this_o place_n against_o this_o strong_a temptation_n reason_n out_o of_o god_n word_n to_o stay_v himself_o so_o that_o knowledge_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v necessary_a to_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o therefore_o that_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v erroneous_a and_o here_o condemn_v which_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n become_v devout_a &_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v though_o he_o know_v not_o what_o the_o church_n believe_v yet_o this_o faith_n will_v save_v he_o but_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a device_n of_o their_o own_o and_o have_v no_o ground_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o as_o we_o see_v here_o knowledge_n in_o the_o word_n be_v necessary_a for_o he_o that_o have_v true_a save_v faith_n but_o what_o be_v abraham_n argument_n whereby_o he_o move_v himself_o to_o obey_v god_n sure_o this_o he_o reason_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v up_o isaac_n from_o the_o dead_a one_o part_n of_o his_o reason_n he_o take_v for_o grant_v which_o here_o he_o conceal_v for_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o he_o in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v now_o this_o he_o take_v for_o grant_v that_o god_n will_v never_o change_v his_o promise_n from_o whence_o he_o reason_v thus_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v up_o isaac_n my_o son_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o life_n again_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v sacrifice_v my_o son_n according_a to_o his_o commandment_n for_o this_o i_o know_v certain_o that_o in_o isaac_n shall_v my_o seed_n be_v call_v see_v god_n have_v promise_v that_o as_o well_o as_o he_o command_v this_o other_o in_o this_o example_n we_o see_v a_o mean_n set_v down_o unto_o we_o to_o induce_v we_o to_o obey_v god_n in_o all_o hard_a and_o difficult_a case_n impose_v by_o god_n which_o be_v a_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v careful_o of_o every_o one_o of_o us._n for_o say_v that_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o touch_v in_o conscience_n for_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o even_o despair_v of_o our_o own_o salvation_n what_o must_v we_o do_v in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v take_v abraham_n course_n and_o dispute_v with_o ourselves_o for_o ourselves_o &_o we_o must_v draw_v our_o argument_n from_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n we_o must_v join_v the_o promise_n and_o power_n of_o god_n together_o as_o for_o example_n thus_o we_o must_v say_v god_n have_v make_v this_o promise_n this_o i_o have_v hear_v and_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o

in_o the_o first_o place_n here_o than_o we_o see_v in_o this_o order_n of_o dignity_n that_o the_o first_o blessing_n of_o life_n everlasting_a belong_v to_o jacob_n esau_n must_v have_v his_o blessing_n but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n here_o observe_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o jacob_n be_v receive_v into_o god_n covenaunt_n and_o esau_n put_v by_o jacob_n get_v the_o principal_a blessing_n and_o esau_n lose_v it_o but_o what_o be_v these_o thing_n so_o for_o jacob_n desert_n or_o for_o the_o default_n of_o esau_n nay_o very_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n hereof_o for_o touch_v the_o blessing_n if_o we_o read_v the_o history_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o esau_n at_o his_o father_n commandment_n go_v and_o hunt_v and_o take_v the_o pain_n and_o get_v his_o father_n venison_n and_o tell_v he_o nothing_o but_o truth_n but_o jacob_n never_o go_v to_o hunt_v but_o get_v a_o kid_n dress_v and_o come_v to_o his_o father_n with_o it_o and_o while_o he_o talk_v with_o his_o father_n do_v foul_o gloase_a and_o lie_v so_o that_o in_o all_o reason_n it_o may_v seem_v that_o esau_n deserve_v the_o better_a blessing_n yet_o god_n will_v have_v it_o otherwise_o and_o the_o principal_a blessing_n belong_v to_o jacob_n wherein_o we_o may_v note_v that_o god_n special_a love_n to_o man_n whereby_o he_o receive_v he_o into_o his_o covenaunt_n be_v not_o ground_v on_o man_n behaviour_n but_o on_o his_o own_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n second_o in_o that_o jacob_n here_o have_v the_o principal_a blessing_n we_o learn_v that_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n do_v over-rule_v the_o will_n of_o man_n for_o father_n isaac_n have_v purpose_v to_o have_v bless_v esau_n with_o the_o chief_a blessing_n but_o yet_o god_n counsel_n be_v contrary_a and_o the_o same_o overrule_v isaac_n will_n for_o though_o isaac_n have_v cause_n to_o suspect_v that_o it_o be_v not_o esau_n both_o because_o he_o come_v so_o soon_o as_o also_o for_o that_o the_o voice_n be_v apparent_a not_o to_o be_v esau_n but_o jacob_n voice_n yet_o god_n counsel_n overruled_n his_o will_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o handle_v his_o son_n hand_n he_o can_v not_o discern_v between_o a_o kids_n skin_n and_o the_o skin_n of_o a_o man_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n hereof_o sure_o it_o be_v god_n will_v and_o counsel_n that_o jacob_n shall_v have_v the_o chief_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o he_o overrule_v isaac_n will_n and_o blind_v his_o sense_n and_o make_v he_o to_o bless_v jacob_n with_o the_o chief_a blessing_n the_o consideration_n hereof_o be_v profitable_a unto_o we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o receive_a opinion_n with_o many_o at_o this_o day_n that_o god_n do_v purpose_n to_o save_v all_o man_n now_o when_o question_n be_v make_v why_o then_o be_v not_o all_o man_n save_v they_o answer_v because_o man_n will_v not_o though_o god_n will_n but_o this_o opinion_n be_v erroneous_a for_o it_o make_v man_n will_n to_o over-rule_v gods_n counsel_n as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v god_n will_v it_o not_o because_o man_n will_v it_o not_o or_o else_o which_o be_v worse_o god_n will_v it_o but_o it_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v because_o man_n will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o god_n will_v and_o counsel_n be_v the_o high_a and_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o &_o look_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v that_o bring_v he_o to_o pass_v and_o because_o all_o man_n be_v not_o save_v therefore_o we_o may_v safe_o think_v and_o say_v that_o god_n do_v never_o decree_v to_o save_v all_o man_n now_o further_o more_o particular_o of_o jacob_n blessing_n first_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v how_o can_v jacob_n be_v bless_v see_v he_o come_v dissemble_o and_o lie_v to_o his_o father_n answ._n we_o must_v know_v that_o howsoever_o jacob_n seek_v the_o blessing_n by_o fraud_n yet_o he_o may_v be_v bless_v for_o he_o fail_v not_o neither_o do_v amiss_o in_o seek_v for_o the_o blessing_n but_o only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o seek_v it_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o seek_v it_o though_o not_o after_o that_o manner_n which_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v rather_o have_v stay_v that_o leisure_n and_o time_n wherein_o god_n have_v cause_v isaac_n to_o have_v bless_v he_o without_o his_o sin_n in_o seek_v it_o second_o consider_v the_o manner_n how_o jacob_n receive_v his_o father_n blessing_n namely_o in_o his_o elder_a brother_n esau_n garment_n here_o we_o may_v see_v a_o notable_a resemblance_n of_o god_n manner_n of_o blessing_n we_o when_o we_o look_v for_o a_o blessing_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v not_o come_v in_o our_o own_o garment_n in_o the_o rot_a rag_n of_o our_o own_o righteousness_n but_o we_o must_v put_v on_o christ_n garment_n the_o long_a white_a robe_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o so_o come_v unto_o god_n as_o isaac_n say_v of_o the_o savour_n of_o esau_n garment_n which_o jaacob_n have_v put_v on_o gen._n 27.27_o 28._o behold_v the_o smell_n of_o my_o son_n be_v as_o the_o smell_n of_o a_o field_n god_n give_v thou_o therefore_o of_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o fatness_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o plenty_n of_o wheat_n and_o wine_n so_o will_v god_n say_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o we_o have_v put_v on_o by_o faith_n be_v a_o sweet_a smell_a savour_n in_o his_o nostril_n ephes._n 5.2_o now_o see_v all_o the_o blessing_n we_o enjoy_v come_v to_o we_o in_o christ_n and_o our_o acceptance_n with_o god_n be_v in_o his_o righteousness_n we_o therefore_o must_v labour_v to_o put_v on_o christ_n every_o day_n by_o become_v new_a creature_n we_o must_v seek_v to_o resemble_v he_o in_o knowledge_n righteousness_n and_o holiness_n so_o shall_v our_o assurance_n increase_v of_o god_n blessing_n upon_o we_o more_o and_o more_o last_o mark_v that_o howsoever_o jaacob_n be_v bless_v otherwise_o than_o isaac_n have_v purpose_v yet_o after_o the_o blessing_n be_v pronounce_v it_o must_v needs_o stand_v for_o so_o when_o esau_n come_v isaac_n say_v unto_o he_o i_o have_v bless_v jacob_n therefore_o he_o shall_v be_v bless_v eph._n 27.33_o even_o so_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n word_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o church_n who_o have_v power_n to_o pronounce_v god_n blessing_n upon_o the_o people_n howsoever_o they_o be_v but_o weak_a man_n and_o may_v be_v deceive_v be_v subject_a to_o error_n as_o other_o man_n be_v yet_o when_o they_o pronounce_v god_n blessing_n upon_o their_o congregation_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n if_o they_o do_v it_o in_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n and_o uprightness_n of_o conscience_n that_o blessing_n shall_v stand_v and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a look_v who_o they_o curse_v for_o just_a cause_n out_o of_o god_n word_n their_o curse_n shall_v stand_v further_o as_o isaac_n bless_v but_o know_v not_o who_o so_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o word_n they_o must_v bless_v god_n people_n though_o they_o know_v not_o who_o they_o be_v particular_o that_o do_v receive_v it_o thus_o much_o of_o isaac_n blessing_n jacob_n now_o i_o come_v to_o his_o blessing_n of_o esau_n for_o he_o also_o be_v bless_v as_o the_o text_n say_v yet_o in_o the_o second_o place_n albeit_o he_o be_v the_o elder_a brother_n quest._n how_o can_v esau_n be_v bless_v at_o all_o see_v isaac_n have_v but_o one_o blessing_n answ._n esau_n be_v only_o bless_v with_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o not_o with_o spiritual_a object_n but_o some_o will_v say_v esau_n be_v a_o bad_a man_n &_o wicked_a now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o to_o the_o impure_a all_o

it_o to_o pass_v that_o esau_n be_v the_o elder_a brother_n lose_v his_o birthright_n and_o blessing_n both_o how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v jaacobs_n answ._n the_o cause_n be_v his_o profaneness_n as_o

48.8_o 9_o etc._n etc._n where_o among_o many_o thing_n observe_v this_o one_o joseph_n bring_v his_o two_o son_n manasses_n and_o ephraim_n unto_o jaacob_n his_o father_n that_o he_o may_v bless_v they_o as_o he_o lie_v on_o his_o bed_n now_o josephs_n mind_n be_v that_o manasses_n the_o elder_a shall_v have_v the_o chief_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o he_o set_v manasses_n at_o jaacobs_n right_a hand_n and_o ephraim_n the_o young_a at_o his_o left_a but_o jaacob_n be_v to_o bless_v they_o lay_v his_o hand_n across_a put_v his_o right_a hand_n on_o ephraim_n head_n and_o the_o leave_v on_o the_o head_n of_o manasses_n whereby_o he_o give_v the_o birthright_n which_o be_v a_o principal_a prerogative_n unto_o ephraim_n contrary_a to_o josephs_n desire_n unto_o manasses_n he_o give_v a_o blessing_n also_o but_o far_o inferior_a to_o ephraim_n now_o here_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o jaacob_n do_v this_o upon_o any_o fond_a affection_n as_o parent_n oftentimes_o do_v because_o they_o love_v one_o child_n better_o than_o another_o but_o he_o do_v it_o after_o a_o special_a manner_n by_o the_o direction_n and_o instinct_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o so_o appoint_v it_o for_o when_o jaacob_n bless_v they_o he_o know_v not_o of_o his_o own_o knowledge_n by_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o sense_n which_o be_v ephraim_n and_o which_o manasses_n again_o look_v as_o jaacob_n give_v the_o blessing_n at_o this_o time_n the_o principal_a unto_o ephraim_n and_o the_o lesser_a to_o manasses_n so_o afterward_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o as_o we_o may_v read_v the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n be_v far_o more_o populous_a and_o more_o glorious_a than_o the_o tribe_n of_o manasses_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n hos._n 4.16_o and_o 5.9_o and_o 6.4_o

he_o must_v come_v work_n in_o the_o vineyard_n some_o part_n of_o the_o day_n that_o will_v have_v his_o penny_n at_o night_n as_o for_o those_o that_o neither_o stir_n hand_n nor_o foot_n to_o do_v

his_o work_n but_o by_o faith_n no_o more_o must_v they_o stand_v upon_o their_o work_n to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o but_o labour_n for_o such_o faith_n as_o moses_n have_v now_o this_o faith_n of_o
