soon_o as_o he_o have_v show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v us._n and_o if_o we_o have_v be_v so_o far_o oversee_v as_o to_o have_v give_v deaf_a ear_n to_o all_o his_o promise_n and_o not_o to_o come_v at_o his_o call_n at_o leastwise_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v for_o we_o to_o be_v drowsy_a still_o when_o he_o add_v his_o threaten_n to_o waken_v us._n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v time_n for_o we_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o to_o god_n then_o or_o never_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o in_o this_o text_n moses_n put_v the_o people_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o punishment_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o such_o as_o worship_v the_o idol_n of_o ammon_n which_o be_v call_v beelphegor_a but_o we_o have_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o to_o mark_v which_o be_v that_o god_n spare_v we_o and_o punish_v other_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v learn_v wit_n at_o other_o man_n cost_n as_o they_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v step_v to_o we_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n and_o correct_v we_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o or_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v look_v for_o vengeance_n at_o his_o hand_n yet_o ought_v we_o to_o take_v it_o as_o a_o token_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o his_o will_n be_v to_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o he_o set_v the_o say_a chastisement_n before_o we_o to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o his_o punish_v of_o offender_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n &_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o same_o for_o a_o warn_n to_o ourselves_o and_o so_o do_v moses_n use_v it_o here_o for_o he_o say_v not_o god_n will_v punish_v you_o if_o you_o offend_v but_o he_o say_v you_o have_v see_v how_o they_o be_v punish_v which_o worship_v beelphegor_a now_o therefore_o prevent_v god_n wrath_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o you_o &_o set_v on_o fire_n but_o cleave_v simple_o to_o his_o word_n and_o let_v the_o correction_n that_o he_o have_v show_v you_o avail_v you_o &_o not_o be_v show_v you_o in_o vain_a thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o lord_n utter_v not_o his_o threaten_n unto_o all_o man_n but_o show_v we_o how_o he_o punish_v the_o unbeliever_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v of_o their_o number_n lest_o we_o shall_v be_v wrap_v

not_o deceive_v for_o god_n wrath_n come_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n for_o such_o thing_n he_o say_v not_o that_o god_n wrath_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o but_o he_o temper_v his_o speech_n and_o say_v consider_v that_o god_n punish_v the_o unbeliever_n for_o such_o cause_n and_o therefore_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o their_o number_n and_o company_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n speak_v he_o likewise_o in_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n â—â—_o 1._o cor._n â—â—_o after_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o how_o god_n have_v punish_v idolater_n rebel_n and_o such_o as_o have_v covet_v unlawful_a thing_n he_o add_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v write_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v see_v and_o behold_v god_n judgement_n as_o in_o a_o lively_a picture_n &_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o fall_v into_o the_o like_a punishment_n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o moses_n rehearse_v here_o your_o eye_n say_v he_o have_v see_v what_o the_o lord_n do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o beelphegor_a in_o say_v so_o he_o tell_v not_o the_o people_n a_o tale_n that_o shall_v do_v they_o no_o good_a but_o he_o do_v they_o to_o understand_v that_o god_n utter_v of_o his_o vengeance_n against_o such_o as_o have_v worship_v that_o idol_n be_v to_o give_v a_o general_a lesson_n to_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o think_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o double_a blame_n in_o that_o behalf_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v fare_v never_o the_o better_a by_o god_n scourge_n but_o have_v shut_v their_o eye_n all_o the_o while_n that_o he_o be_v about_o to_o warn_v they_o to_o their_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n now_o remain_v to_o apply_v this_o gear_n to_o our_o use_n when_o god_n send_v any_o trouble_n upon_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o be_v so_o sore_o displease_v for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o offence_n and_o misdeed_n that_o have_v be_v commit_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v y_z t_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n in_o punish_v sin_n but_o do_v that_o serve_v only_o for_o they_o that_o feel_v the_o stroke_n no_o god_n will_v be_v to_o show_v

be_v short_a all_o the_o chastisemente_n that_o we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n aught_o to_o serve_v for_o our_o learning_n according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n esay_n 26.9_o esa._n 26.9_o o_o lord_n when_o thou_o execute_a thy_o judgement_n the_o dweller_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v learn_v righteousness_n for_o when_o god_n wink_v and_o punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a and_o

bethink_v himself_o or_o at_o leastwise_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n judgement_n do_v sometime_o pass_v before_o our_o eye_n and_o we_o make_v none_o account_v of_o they_o by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o can_v fare_v never_o the_o better_a for_o they_o but_o unhappy_a be_v we_o when_o we_o be_v so_o blind_a and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o say_v

insomuch_o that_o when_o they_o punish_v a_o thief_n or_o a_o murderer_n or_o any_o other_o evil_a doer_n they_o do_v it_o not_o alone_o to_o be_v revenge_v of_o y_fw-fr e_o evil_a that_o he_o have_v

and_o abhor_v such_o crime_n and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v their_o full_a course_n and_o scope_n and_o think_v we_o that_o god_n go_v yet_o any_o further_a so_o then_o let_v we_o suffer_v

with_o we_o still_o and_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o our_o lord_n abhor_v ydolatry_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o other_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v in_o any_o wise_a but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o abhor_v it_o and_o because_o we_o be_v too_o cold_a in_o that_o behalf_n we_o be_v warn_v to_o quicken_v up_o ourselves_o and_o to_o take_v the_o mean_n which_o we_o know_v to_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v the_o forward_a in_o cause_v god_n to_o be_v serve_v pure_o among_o we_o and_o open_v

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n but_o here_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n how_o moses_n may_v say_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o such_o a_o city_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v put_v over_o unto_o god_n as_o a_o offering_n or_o sacrifice_n yet_o do_v god_n speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n in_o many_o place_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o when_o we_o protest_v that_o only_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o when_o we_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o

and_o yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n in_o the_o firstlinge_n tenthes_o and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_n unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n it_o behove_v god_n curse_n to_o be_v thereupon_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v loe_o this_o be_v he_o that_o shall_v answer_v for_o all_o to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n may_v be_v acquit_v and_o deliver_v from_o death_n this_o sacrifice_n

in_o his_o person_n 5.21_o levit._fw-la 7.2_o 2._o cor._n 5.21_o but_o here_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v honour_v and_o homage_n be_v do_v unto_o he_o by_o

thereof_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n like_v very_o well_o of_o and_o why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v a_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o suffer_v

to_o be_v now_o than_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n command_v sacrifice_v to_o be_v do_v unto_o god_n with_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o
