in_o this_o world_n all_o be_v unthankful_a all_o be_v malicious_a we_o cobble_v up_o god_n riches_n here_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n regard_v not_o how_o much_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o he_o

neither_o murmur_v nor_o blaspheme_v proceed_v from_o moses_n nay_o which_o be_v more_o we_o see_v he_o crucify_v himself_o when_o he_o see_v that_o god_n be_v not_o honour_v as_o he_o ought_v to_o

yet_o what_o we_o have_v further_a to_o remember_v out_o of_o this_o place_n and_o herewithal_o we_o see_v also_o that_o when_o god_n servant_n perceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v near_o their_o end_n they_o must_v be_v the_o carefull_a to_o establish_v the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o teach_v in_o their_o life_n time_n and_o why_o for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n do_v easy_o slip_v away_o &_o that_o

to_o his_o creature_n resolve_v themselves_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v they_o if_o they_o have_v he_o on_o their_o side_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v here_o now_o it_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n that_o here_o be_v some_o contrariety_n for_o he_o have_v say_v afore_o god_n will_v destroy_v all_o the_o enemy_n who_o thou_o fear_v and_o here_o he_o

we_o feel_v the_o grief_n thereof_o and_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o now_o then_o in_o say_v that_o god_n will_v destroy_v all_o those_o who_o his_o

to_o note_v also_o that_o god_n have_v always_o bear_v with_o the_o fainthartednesse_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o be_v

yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n bear_v still_o with_o that_o default_n and_o although_o the_o people_n be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v succour_v because_o of_o the_o fearfulness_n that_o proceed_v of_o the_o

that_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v yet_o be_v that_o fearfulness_n always_o worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v for_o let_v we_o see_v from_o what_o spring_n it_o issue_v if_o we_o have_v a_o

when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o succour_v we_o in_o such_o infirmity_n for_o he_o need_v to_o do_v no_o more_o but_o say_v in_o one_o word_n prepare_v yourselves_o to_o receive_v my_o grace_n and_o

so_o as_o they_o have_v not_o go_v to_o work_v unaduised_o but_o have_v have_v such_o certainty_n as_o be_v requisite_a for_o they_o and_o whereas_o moses_n report_v in_o genesis_n that_o noy_n

when_o we_o shall_v come_v unto_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o for_o if_o any_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o our_o help_n we_o have_v forget_v this_o general_a doctrine_n we_o be_v always_o good_a divine_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o air_n if_o a_o man_n set_v we_o down_o a_o doctrine_n which_o press_v we_o not_o every_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o yield_v his_o consent_n thereunto_o but_o the_o practice_n

which_o be_v tell_v we_o if_o it_o prejudice_n our_o gain_n and_o commodity_n and_o therefore_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o specify_v thing_n unto_o we_o more_o particular_o when_o he_o have_v once_o

will_v be_v receive_v without_o any_o gainsay_n that_o mercy_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n but_o none_o for_o all_o that_o will_v come_v to_o this_o point_n &_o to_o this_o reason_n that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o take_v such_o a_o pledge_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n as_o he_o shall_v account_v necessary_a for_o his_o own_o use_n for_o man_n will_v say_v be_v this_o any_o cruelty_n he_o come_v

and_o so_o a_o man_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v cruelty_n to_o take_v any_o man_n coat_n or_o cover_n to_o gage_n it_o will_v be_v always_o say_v why_o i_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o

man_n will_v excuse_v themselves_o but_o what_o god_n will_v be_v the_o judge_n of_o our_o deal_n you_o see_v then_o the_o cause_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o why_o god_n press_v we_o to_o a_o

on_o the_o contrary_a side_n that_o our_o work_n shall_v be_v reckon_v unto_o we_o for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v because_o god_n accept_v they_o and_o why_o be_v it_o because_o they_o be_v worthy_a

but_o we_o will_v always_o build_v the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n on_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o upon_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o

none_o let_v we_o mind_n that_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n
we_o ought_v to_o observe_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o man_n a_o earthly_a judge_n punish_v the_o fault_n which_o be_v know_v unto_o he_o but_o before_o god_n it_o be_v

find_v himself_o short_a again_o we_o see_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n punish_v young_a child_n even_o such_o as_o be_v yet_o in_o their_o mother_n womb_n but_o he_o know_v a_o reason_n why_o

why_o we_o have_v declare_v and_o in_o deed_n he_o protest_v also_o by_o his_o prophet_n ezechiel_n 18.4_o ezech._n 18.4_o that_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v the_o child_n for_o the_o father_n sake_n for_o it_o be_v now_o grow_v to_o a_o common_a proverb_n in_o israel_n that_o they_o which_o be_v trouble_v with_o war_n famine_n and_o other_o calamity_n will_v say_v what_o we_o be_v not_o so_o

and_o how_o will_v we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o inquire_v beyond_o our_o measure_n let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o this_o that_o god_n goodness_n be_v a_o unblameable_a justice_n

for_o god_n know_v his_o rule_n full_a well_o but_o we_o for_o our_o part_n have_v need_v to_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n and_o under_o subjection_n and_o if_o we_o will_v be_v at_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o seem_v good_a to_o ourselves_o there_o will_v be_v too_o too_o great_a confusion_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v not_o be_v punish_v for_o the_o child_n fault_n nor_o the_o child_n for_o the_o father_n but_o that_o he_o which_o offend_v shall_v bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o his_o

that_o they_o discharge_v not_o their_o dewtie_n except_o they_o maintain_v a_o other_o man_n wickedness_n oh_o say_v they_o he_o that_o have_v do_v this_o offence_n be_v my_o neighbour_n or_o my_o

afterwards_o that_o he_o which_o be_v just_a must_v be_v declare_v such_o a_o one_o and_o he_o which_o have_v offend_v must_v be_v condemn_v we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v not_o content_v to_o have_v

may_v continual_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o in_o understanding_n and_o that_o we_o perceive_v as_o say_v saint_n paul_n that_o all_o scripture_n be_v profitable_a 3.16_o 2._o tim._n 3.16_o for_o he_o say_v not_o that_o there_o we_o shall_v find_v wherewith_o to_o edify_v ourselves_o but_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o all_o thing_n so_o as_o there_o be_v there_o not_o only_o some_o thing_n that_o may_v do_v we_o good_a but_o also_o that_o if_o we_o search_v throughout_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n declare_v there_o we_o shall_v find_v from_o the_o very_a beginning_n that_o nothing_o be_v set_v down_o there_o without_o cause_n but_o that_o god_n have_v always_o a_o regard_n to_o give_v we_o good_a instruction_n in_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v and_o so_o you_o see_v to_o what_o purpose_n moses_n exhort_v here_o the_o people_n to_o set_v their_o mind_n upon_o all_o these_o word_n but_o now_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o many_o thing_n there_o be_v
