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

and_o although_o he_o be_v lead_v with_o wicked_a affection_n yet_o ought_v the_o judge_n to_o grant_v he_o his_o right_n and_o that_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n for_o many_o man_n bear_v themselves_o

have_v conceyve_v and_o not_o of_o purpose_n to_o render_v thanks_n unto_o god_n after_o the_o example_n of_o jacob_n the_o intent_n therefore_o and_o meaning_n must_v here_o be_v consider_v and_o we_o must_v advise_v ourselves_o well_o for_o what_o purpose_n and_o how_o we_o vow_v unto_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o have_v not_o any_o of_o these_o foolish_a imagination_n of_o merit_v and_o of_o bind_v god_n unto_o we_o by_o do_v this_o or_o that_o but_o it_o must_v be_v do_v to_o move_v we_o to_o render_v homage_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o for_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o and_o that_o although_o we_o can_v through_o discharge_v ourselves_o for_o they_o yet_o at_o the_o least_o we_o make_v such_o

they_o have_v no_o evil_a at_o all_o in_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o must_v understand_v this_o place_n now_o it_o be_v say_v when_o thou_o vowe_v unto_o god_n acquit_v thyself_o and_o perform_v that_o which_o thou_o shall_v have_v pronounce_v with_o thy_o own_o mouth_n and_o of_o thy_o own_o good_a will_n if_o thou_o do_v not_o vow_v at_o all_o or_o forbear_v to_o do_v it_o thou_o shall_v not_o sin_n here_o we_o see_v first_o of_o all_o how_o god_n will_v not_o bind_v man_n but_o leave_v they_o at_o liberty_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v serve_v he_o of_o a_o more_o frank_a and_o free_a good_a will_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n love_v he_o which_o give_v with_o a_o cheerful_a affection_n 9.7_o 1._o cor._n 9.7_o that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o a_o

that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o moses_n say_v here_o express_o if_o thou_o vow_v not_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v impute_v unto_o thou_o for_o sin_n now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n by_o great_a reason_n ought_v we_o nowadays_o to_o be_v free_v therefrom_o for_o vow_n be_v then_o common_a among_o the_o people_n and_o it_o behoove_v the_o people_n also_o to_o be_v exercise_v in_o such_o ceremony_n according_a to_o the_o weakness_n of_o that_o time_n when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v follow_v those_o figure_n and_o shadow_n which_o be_v in_o that_o time_n and_o albeit_o god_n hold_v they_o in_o as_o little_a child_n by_o appoint_v such_o ceremony_n yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o this_o behalf_n he_o lay_v the_o bridle_n on_o their_o neck_n as_o man_n say_v &_o mean_v not_o to_o persuade_v they_o to_o vow_n or_o to_o occasion_v they_o to_o bind_v themselves_o but_o leave_v the_o matter_n to_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o liberty_n nowadays_o then_o see_v that_o we_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n where_o there_o be_v no_o long_o any_o such_o bondage_n as_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n think_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n take_v any_o great_a pleasure_n of_o it_o when_o man_n vow_v so_o as_o they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o devout_a enough_o except_o they_o vow_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o and_o pass_v other_o therein_o but_o our_o lord_n contrariwise_o have_v much_o rather_o that_o man_n shall_v keep_v themselves_o unto_o that_o which_o he_o have_v ordain_v and_o follow_v the_o common_a rule_n in_o which_o be_v all_o our_o perfection_n moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o if_o any_o man_n think_v to_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o vow_v he_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o it_o although_o it_o have_v no_o other_o evil_a nor_o vice_n in_o it_o for_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o add_v any_o thing_n unto_o that_o which_o god_n have_v declare_v unto_o us._n therefore_o when_o we_o make_v any_o vow_n it_o must_v not_o be_v as_o if_o we_o will_v give_v god_n something_o beside_o that_o which_o he_o have_v require_v but_o it_o must_v be_v to_o keep_v we_o always_o unto_o his_o service_n when_o we_o tend_v unto_o this_o code_n we_o may_v say_v we_o belong_v unto_o god_n and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v give_v unto_o we_o be_v his_o still_o and_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v make_v a_o acknowledge_v of_o it_o in_o deed_n we_o have_v not_o any_o special_a rule_n to_o say_v i_o will_v offer_v this_o

any_o great_a bond_n or_o bondage_n upon_o he_o but_o leave_v they_o their_o choice_n whether_o they_o will_v vow_v or_o no._n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o his_o will_n be_v that_o vow_n shall_v

whereas_o man_n do_v always_o keep_v their_o full_a weight_n with_o us._n sure_o if_o we_o be_v about_o to_o compare_v other_o man_n with_o ourselves_o we_o can_v set_v they_o light_a enough_o for_o

be_v contain_v in_o the_o xiij_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 13.2_o â—um_fw-la 13.2_o howbeit_o that_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v some_o diversity_n at_o the_o first_o blush_n for_o there_o he_o declare_v that_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v espy_v out_o the_o land_n be_v send_v by_o the_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n and_o here_o he_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o it_o but_o say_v it_o be_v do_v at_o the_o request_n of_o the_o people_n now_o these_o two_o thing_n may_v very_o well_o agree_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v desire_v to_o have_v the_o entrance_n into_o the_o land_n know_v before_o they_o go_v any_o further_a and_o also_o that_o god_n shall_v allow_v that_o desire_n yea_o or_o rather_o even_o prevent_v it_o according_o as_o we_o know_v that_o in_o all_o thing_n he_o guide_v this_o people_n with_o a_o pass_v fatherly_a care_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v in_o the_o next_o lecture_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n in_o it_o that_o god_n to_o show_v the_o people_n what_o care_n he_o have_v to_o guide_v they_o shall_v appoint_v spy_n to_o be_v send_v and_o that_o therewithal_o the_o people_n also_o on_o their_o part_n shall_v require_v it_o so_o then_o we_o see_v still_o that_o god_n bear_v with_o the_o people_n when_o he_o grant_v to_o send_v man_n to_o spy_v out_o the_o land_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v a_o condemn_v of_o the_o people_n when_o the_o thing_n that_o shall_v have_v be_v to_o their_o help_n and_o furtherance_n do_v pluck_v they_o back_o and_o it_o be_v not_o report_v

ourselves_o in_o and_o to_o fare_v the_o better_a by_o it_o if_o god_n bear_v with_o we_o and_o give_v we_o mean_n convenient_a for_o our_o infirmity_n let_v we_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o use_n let_v they_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o obey_v he_o and_o let_v we_o not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v hinder_v by_o they_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v but_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v this_o that_o moses_n add_v namely_o 14.6_o â—â—m_fw-la 13.31_o &_o 14.6_o that_o the_o spy_n bring_v word_n again_o that_o the_o land_n be_v good_a and_o that_o the_o people_n will_v not_o believe_v it_o but_o be_v disobedient_a to_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o moses_n rehearse_v not_o the_o story_n as_o it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o place_n before_o allege_v for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v that_o of_o the_o twelve_o which_o be_v send_v there_o be_v but_o two_o that_o harten_v the_o people_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n that_o be_v promise_v

moses_n say_v here_o that_o the_o spy_v report_v it_o to_o be_v a_o good_a land_n as_o though_o they_o have_v encourage_v the_o people_n to_o do_v as_o god_n have_v command_v they_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o that_o moses_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o great_a number_n nor_o to_o the_o multitude_n but_o to_o the_o better_a sort_n of_o they_o although_o then_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o caleb_n the_o son_n of_o jephonee_n and_o josua_n the_o son_n of_o nun_n that_o make_v good_a report_n and_o traveil_v to_o make_v the_o people_n to_o obey_v god_n yet_o be_v they_o prefer_v at_o god_n hand_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o god_n esteem_v more_o of_o the_o six_o part_n than_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a point_n as_o whereof_o we_o may_v

city_n be_v great_a and_o wall_a up_o to_o the_o sky_n but_o as_o now_o he_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o two_o that_o discharge_v their_o duty_n we_o see_v then_o that_o whensoever_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o man_n incline_v unto_o evil_n we_o must_v let_v they_o alone_o as_o though_o they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o come_v in_o account_n and_o we_o must_v rather_o hold_v with_o a_o handful_n of_o man_n who_o we_o see_v to_o teach_v we_o faithful_o and_o to_o give_v we_o good_a counsel_n i_o say_v we_o must_v rather_o follow_v one_o or_o two_o such_o and_o let_v a_o hundred_o yea_o a_o thousand_o other_o go_v than_o cast_v ourselves_o into_o confusion_n with_o the_o great_a multitude_n and_o if_o ever_o this_o be_v needful_a it_o be_v needful_a now_o in_o our_o time_n for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o see_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v turn_v upside_o down_o in_o the_o world_n superstition_n be_v so_o great_a and_o unmeasurable_a as_o be_v

contempt_n of_o god_n drunkenness_n whoredom_n pride_n and_o looseness_n now_o then_o whosoever_o fashion_v himself_o to_o the_o custom_n of_o man_n must_v forsake_v god_n and_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o all_o goodness_n he_o must_v give_v himself_o to_o all_o lewdness_n and_o plunge_v himself_o into_o all_o wickedness_n lo_o to_o what_o point_n we_o be_v come_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o look_v upon_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o guide_v we_o aright_o though_o they_o be_v but_o few_o in_o number_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o the_o

when_o i_o see_v such_o a_o number_n of_o man_n follow_v that_o trade_n i_o put_v myself_o in_o company_n with_o they_o &_o to_o my_o seem_a y_o e_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o common_o use_v can_v not_o

find_v to_o be_v certain_a and_o infallible_a also_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v this_o similitude_n that_o moses_n set_v down_o here_o namely_o that_o the_o ammorrhytes_n come_v out_o like_o bee_n for_o we_o know_v that_o when_o bee_n be_v angry_a they_o sting_v man_n and_o they_o regard_v not_o whether_o man_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o they_o but_o they_o fly_v upon_o they_o with_o such_o choler_n

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

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

then_o that_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o god_n be_v such_o as_o he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o draw_v man_n to_o he_o by_o all_o manner_n of_o gentleness_n and_o to_o use_v his_o goodness_n

our_o desire_n to_o follow_v god_n commandment_n than_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o rough_o with_o we_o ne_o overpress_v we_o not_o behold_v god_n can_v rein_v we_o with_o a_o streite_z

then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n commandment_n be_v hard_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o press_v we_o so_o much_o as_o he_o

well_o about_o they_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n bear_v with_o they_o as_o a_o father_n that_o pity_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v thankful_a and_o to_o be_v the_o more_o forewarde_n to_o serve_v our_o god_n see_v he_o command_v we_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o aught_o to_o seem_v over_o bitter_a or_o painful_a to_o we_o but_o have_v a_o regard_n of_o our_o

we_o have_v to_o remember_v here_o furthermore_o see_v god_n have_v forbid_v murder_n as_o a_o owgly_a and_o outrageous_a thing_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o which_o rise_v up_o against_o his_o neighbour_n to_o murder_v he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o wood_n beast_n we_o see_v how_o bear_n lion_n and_o other_o

notwithstanding_o the_o common_a knowledge_n or_o instinct_n of_o nature_n hold_v they_o in_o order_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o very_a beast_n have_v skill_n to_o live_v well_o together_o with_o the_o beast_n of_o their_o own_o kind_n without_o hurt_v one_o another_o and_o shall_v not_o man_n be_v restrain_v by_o some_o consideration_n see_v that_o god_n have_v imprint_v it_o in_o their_o

be_v piteous_a to_o see_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o god_n say_v here_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v they_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v in_o deed_n my_o law_n be_v give_v

and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o

of_o moses_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v short_o already_o remember_v these_o word_n say_v he_o and_o how_o by_o talk_v and_o confer_v of_o they_o in_o thy_o house_n and_o as_o thou_o go_v abroad_o here_o we_o see_v well_o how_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v with_o guard_n of_o garment_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o have_v his_o law_n print_v in_o his_o people_n

they_o shall_v the_o better_o know_v he_o and_o honour_n he_o for_o although_o the_o scotfree_a sort_n may_v now_o and_o then_o allege_v that_o they_o have_v take_v much_o pain_n in_o gather_v the_o

yet_o will_v not_o god_n lose_v his_o right_n for_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v his_o blessing_n that_o make_v man_n scotfree_a therefore_o they_o that_o possess_v most_o must_v know_v that_o

to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n we_o cry_v out_o daily_o to_o have_v justice_n execute_v but_o how_o do_v man_n discharge_v themselves_o thereof_o let_v their_o ear_n be_v never_o so_o much_o beat_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n they_o pass_v not_o much_o for_o it_o but_o they_o be_v the_o more_o forgetful_a from_o day_n to_o day_n therefore_o do_v moses_n put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o

let_v we_o think_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v add_v here_o that_o when_o god_n have_v command_v his_o people_n to_o destroy_v the_o idolater_n he_o add_v beware_v you_o meddle_v not_o which_o it_o

after_o they_o have_v offend_v for_o the_o heathen_a might_n yet_o have_v some_o excuse_n because_o they_o have_v not_o have_v any_o teach_n but_o the_o israelite_n sin_v wilful_o &_o their_o do_n

a_o increase_n of_o their_o evil_n much_o more_o when_o they_o happen_v to_o become_v like_o those_o who_o they_o punish_v yes_o for_o y_z e_z punishment_n which_o they_o have_v execute_v upon_o

heed_n to_o live_v in_o all_o pureness_n before_o he_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o why_o those_o two_o thing_n be_v match_v together_o and_o hereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v the_o execute_n of_o justice_n must_v lay_v away_o their_o own_o fleshly_a passion_n and_o look_v that_o they_o be_v quite_o and_o clear_v from_o all_o desire_n of_o revenge_n hatred_n

too_o sharp_a it_o be_v a_o overshoot_n of_o ourselves_o which_o proceed_v of_o our_o sinfulness_n by_o reason_n whereof_o although_o the_o correction_n which_o we_o minister_v be_v out_o of_o god_n

that_o be_v the_o matter_n which_o moses_n mean_v to_o show_v here_o now_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o fill_n and_o be_v well_o maintain_v when_o they_o shall_v have_v keep_v god_n commandment_n after_o that_o fashion_n we_o have_v two_o point_n to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n for_o a_o conclusion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n tell_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v not_o bare_o give_v they_o whatsoever_o be_v needful_a for_o they_o but_o also_o give_v they_o their_o fill_n of_o his_o benefit_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v thorough_o satisfy_v with_o they_o that_o be_v for_o the_o one_o the_o second_o be_v a_o come_n back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o although_o god_n speak_v but_o of_o temporal_a good_n such_o as_o concern_v but_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o he_o lead_v they_o further_o thereby_o first_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n not_o only_o give_v and_o bestow_v upon_o we_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o but_o also_o in_o large_v and_o extend_v his_o riches_n yet_o further_o by_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o overmeasure_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o natural_a necessity_n what_o need_v we_o more_o than_o bread_n and_o water_n but_o god_n add_v wine_n to_o comfort_n and_o glad_a man_n heart_n 104.15_o 〈◊〉_d 104.15_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n again_o we_o see_v he_o voutsafe_v to_o pleasure_v we_o after_o all_o sort_n by_o send_v we_o so_o many_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o delight_v we_o withal_o which_o be_v all_o witness_n of_o his_o liberality_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o not_o only_o provide_v we_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v not_o forbear_v but_o also_o add_v as_o a_o overplus_n a_o great_a number_n of_o good_a thing_n that_o serve_v for_o our_o pleasure_n whereby_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o love_v he_o and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o wing_n to_o we_o wherewith_o to_o fly_v unto_o he_o but_o contrariwise_o if_o god_n give_v we_o store_n we_o can_v forbear_v to_o pamper_v ourselves_o like_o brute_n beast_n insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v wed_v to_o this_o world_n i_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o drunkard_n and_o glutton_n that_o cram_v themselves_o till_o they_o be_v without_o wit_n &_o reason_n but_o also_o of_o all_o such_o as_o be_v in_o love_n with_o their_o delicate_n and_o delight_n so_o as_o if_o they_o have_v abundance_n more_o than_o ordinary_a they_o can_v hold_v themselves_o within_o any_o measure_n but_o thereupon_o do_v fall_v asleep_a and_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v provoke_v to_o resort_v unto_o god_n do_v run_v away_o from_o he_o or_o rather_o lie_v welter_v and_o bathe_v of_o themselves_o in_o their_o pleasure_n and_o forget_v themselves_o i_o wot_v not_o how_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o

that_o manner_n again_o on_o the_o otherside_n let_v the_o poor_a bethink_v they_o thus_o well_o god_n give_v we_o not_o wherewith_o to_o find_v ourselves_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o

then_o how_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v and_o general_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o to_o examine_v our_o fault_n well_o we_o must_v not_o only_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o our_o hand_n foot_n eye_n &_o ear_n but_o we_o must_v also_o go_v to_o the_o inward_a part_n &_o search_v our_o thought_n our_o wicked_a desire_n and_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o do_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v we_o for_o there_o lie_v the_o right_a examination_n of_o our_o sin_n when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o because_o he_o have_v commit_v no_o murder_n

but_o it_o be_v but_o their_o common_a phrase_n of_o speech_n whereby_o they_o do_v betoken_v all_o time_n that_o be_v past_a and_o hereby_o our_o lord_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o man_n must_v not_o look_v only_o at_o the_o present_a deed_n but_o that_o they_o must_v proceed_v further_a and_o see_v whether_o any_o mischief_n lie_v lurk_v afore_o for_o if_o a_o man_n allege_v circumstance_n to_o clear_v himself_o and_o be_v not_o find_v faulty_a out_o of_o hand_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o enough_o a_o eye_n must_v be_v have_v what_o go_v before_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v find_v out_o in_o

we_o make_v of_o all_o our_o fault_n and_o not_o only_o condemn_v ourselves_o for_o the_o present_a deed_n do_v but_o also_o proceed_v further_o and_o say_v alas_o if_o i_o have_v arm_v myself_o

gather_v of_o this_o say_n y_z t_z inquiry_n must_v be_v make_v whether_o there_o have_v be_v any_o former_a hatred_n betwixt_o the_o party_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o place_n now_o final_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n of_o death_n upon_o such_o a_o man_n it_o serve_v to_o prove_v the_o thing_n better_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v already_o namely_o

man_n can_v always_o well_o grant_v y_o it_o fault_n be_v willing_a when_o you_o

with_o such_o desire_n we_o judge_v no_o long_o what_o be_v rightful_a because_o every_o of_o we_o will_v conclude_v o_o i_o must_v ask_v this_o and_o why_o because_o it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o i_o we_o see_v then_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o first_o part_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v at_o his_o own_o free_a choice_n to_o bring_v what_o pledge_n he_o will_v so_o as_o he_o be_v press_v he_o may_v then_o withdraw_v himself_o aside_o &_o beware_v that_o he_o be_v not_o tread_v under_o foot_n nor_o pinch_v beyond_o measure_n he_o may_v beethinke_v himself_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v he_o may_v advise_v himself_o by_o his_o own_o counsel_n there_o be_v no_o man_n to_o control_v he_o or_o to_o disturb_v the_o stuff_n of_o his_o house_n and_o then_o a_o man_n may_v take_v the_o pledge_n to_o assure_v his_o money_n now_o because_o there_o may_v be_v sometime_o such_o urgent_a necessity_n that_o a_o man_n will_v some_o time_n shift_v himself_o to_o his_o shirt_n to_o have_v somewhat_o to_o eat_v our_o lord_n provide_v far_a in_o this_o case_n to_o remedy_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o command_v the_o pledge_n to_o be_v restore_v again_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v perceive_v that_o a_o poor_a man_n can_v miss_v it_o for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o man_n must_v be_v touch_v with_o great_a compassion_n for_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o be_v because_o that_o when_o a_o man_n put_v himself_o beside_o his_o bed_n and_o his_o clothing_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o judge_v and_o to_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v come_v to_o great_a extremity_n and_o to_o the_o far_a degree_n of_o poverty_n that_o be_v one_o point_n to_o be_v note_v the_o other_o be_v in_o consider_v of_o this_o point_n what_o difference_n there_o be_v whether_o a_o man_n die_v for_o hunger_n or_o for_o cold_a this_o be_v but_o to_o change_v his_o torment_n this_o be_v not_o to_o succour_v he_o i_o lend_v a_o man_n money_n and_o he_o buy_v bread_n therewith_o to_o eat_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v freeze_a to_o death_n through_o i_o and_o do_v i_o relieve_v he_o then_o so_o then_o we_o ought_v in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o be_v move_v with_o compassion_n or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o humanity_n in_o us._n so_o then_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v have_v the_o pledge_n restore_v again_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n we_o take_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o preserve_n of_o a_o

have_v if_o i_o leave_v and_o forsake_v he_o doubtless_o i_o do_v he_o wrong_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n now_o civil_a justice_n can_v set_v down_o no_o other_o order_n but_o that_o all_o must_v

that_o he_o delight_v not_o to_o vex_v we_o with_o multitude_n of_o evil_n but_o that_o he_o mean_v rather_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o goodness_n in_o all_o respect_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v

may_v be_v bless_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n oftentimes_o afflict_v his_o people_n for_o other_o cause_n than_o their_o sin_n as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v to_o job_n which_o be_v a_o notable_a mirror_n for_o us._n we_o see_v the_o like_a in_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n who_o although_o they_o do_v endeavour_n and_o travail_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v they_o in_o as_o great_a trouble_n and_o grief_n as_o can_v be_v the_o same_o be_v yet_o more_o manifest_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o see_v that_o god_n have_v reveil_v more_o full_o what_o be_v the_o perfect_a happiness_n of_o man_n it_o behoove_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v exercise_v under_o many_o adversity_n in_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a he_o do_v it_o to_o preserve_v they_o as_o the_o physician_n that_o wait_v not_o always_o till_o the_o sickness_n do_v appear_v but_o if_o

use_v chastisement_n towards_o they_o as_o preservative_n medicine_n it_o may_v every_o day_n fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o offend_v against_o god_n in_o some_o particular_a sin_n but_o what_o if_o he_o be_v always_o in_o prosperity_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o god_n therefore_o do_v cure_v such_o disease_n by_o withdraw_a his_o blessing_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o fat_a to_o blind_v man_n eye_n or_o to_o hinder_v our_o come_n unto_o he_o lest_o it_o shall_v stay_v we_o too_o long_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o our_o delight_n as_o to_o fall_v altogether_o on_o sleep_n in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n forbear_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o always_o just_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o list_v let_v the_o perfect_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n be_v choose_v out_o and_o yet_o if_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o they_o by_o rigour_n he_o shall_v lay_v many_o hard_a knock_n upon_o their_o pate_n but_o true_o we_o think_v it_o not_o so_o for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o sharp_a sight_v as_o to_o know_v the_o fault_n which_o god_n do_v mark_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n utter_v his_o patience_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o he_o spare_v man_n and_o punish_v they_o not_o i_o mean_v the_o most_o righteous_a that_o can_v be_v find_v as_o for_o example_n when_o david_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v of_o saul_n and_o of_o all_o his_o enemy_n when_o abraham_n be_v stinge_v and_o

and_o final_o when_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cruel_o deal_v with_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n no_o very_o but_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v call_v they_o to_o account_v he_o may_v have_v punish_v they_o a_o hundred_o time_n more_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o have_v accuse_v he_o of_o cruelty_n he_o spare_v they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o do_v they_o the_o honour_n to_o suffer_v for_o his_o name_n or_o rather_o he_o try_v their_o obedience_n kill_v their_o carnal_a affection_n and_o draw_v they_o near_o unto_o himself_o as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v job_n a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o frailty_n but_o howsoevet_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n to_o make_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o we_o all_o we_o perceive_v then_o that_o god_n have_v other_o meaning_n in_o afflict_v his_o people_n than_o only_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o uphold_v they_o even_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n resort_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o suffer_v in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v proceed_v of_o sin_n and_o why_o so_o for_o be_v not_o this_o corruption_n in_o our_o

this_o it_o be_v for_o that_o he_o see_v we_o to_o be_v so_o blockish_a and_o gross_a that_o although_o he_o show_v as_o with_o his_o finger_fw-la that_o it_o be_v at_o his_o hand_n that_o we_o
