as_o we_o be_v when_o he_o see_v that_o we_o have_v no_o mind_n of_o he_o and_o that_o even_o his_o benefit_n be_v a_o occasion_n unto_o we_o to_o despise_v he_o so_o as_o we_o turn_v they_o the_o

because_o god_n bind_v we_o one_o to_o another_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o y_fw-mi it_o we_o have_v our_o conscience_n at_o liberty_n so_o as_o we_o know_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v free_a to_o we_o

let_v every_o of_o we_o bethink_v he_o to_o hold_v himself_o in_o his_o obedience_n &_o subjection_n that_o we_o play_v not_o the_o loose_a colt_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v that_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o this_o text_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o vow_n and_o oblation_n whereof_o moses_n speak_v so_o much_o let_v we_o remember_v what_o have_v be_v say_v heretofore_o namely_o how_o it_o be_v not_o god_n will_n that_o his_o people_n shall_v eat_v and_o drink_v without_o have_v some_o record_n that_o all_o come_v of_o he_o as_o for_o example_n whereas_o at_o this_o day_n he_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o ability_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v give_v our_o neighbour_n part_n with_o we_o and_o show_v by_o our_o almosedeed_n that_o we_o do_v homage_n unto_o he_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o as_o belong_v unto_o he_o alone_o there_o be_v not_o nowadays_o the_o like_a order_n that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n concern_v oblation_n firstfruite_n and_o sacrifice_n but_o almosedeede_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n like_v of_o as_o be_v show_v unto_o we_o 13.16_o hebr._n 13.16_o special_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v very_o rife_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o there_o it_o be_v say_v express_o that_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v the_o brotherly_a love_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o succour_v our_o neighbour_n that_o be_v distress_v for_o they_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o god_n require_v and_o allow_v sith_o it_o be_v so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v wherewith_o to_o maintain_v himself_o abundant_o he_o must_v not_o exempt_v himself_o from_o do_v service_n unto_o god_n therewithal_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n every_o man_n must_v strain_n himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o power_n to_o succour_v and_o relieve_v such_o as_o have_v scarcetie_n &_o want_n of_o worldly_a good_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o right_a use_n which_o our_o lord_n appoint_v to_o all_o his_o creature_n be_v to_o offer_v they_o up_o unto_o he_o to_o show_v that_o we_o hold_v all_o of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o very_a meaning_n that_o be_v intend_v in_o all_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o old_a time_n and_o although_o the_o ceremony_n continue_v not_o at_o this_o day_n yet_o ought_v the_o truth_n thereof_o to_o reign_v still_o among_o us._n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o cherish_v ourselves_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o forget_v not_o other_o folk_n and_o special_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o our_o unthankfulness_n will_v defile_v all_o our_o good_a fare_n if_o we_o acknowledge_v not_o god_n to_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o all_o thing_n unto_o us._n we_o hear_v what_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o hypocrite_n that_o take_v great_a pain_n to_o make_v clean_a their_o vessel_n that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o spot_n in_o they_o 26_o mat._n 13.23_o ●5_n 26_o make_v clean_o the_o inside_n of_o they_o too_o quoth_v he_o and_o afterward_o he_o add_v that_o the_o right_a way_n for_o man_n to_o make_v themselves_o clean_o be_v to_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o not_o to_o busy_v themselves_o about_o a_o sort_n of_o pelt_a trifle_n as_o the_o world_n do_v continual_o who_o think_v to_o dally_v with_o god_n and_o will_v give_v he_o rittlerattle_n to_o play_v with_o as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o babe_n but_o they_o can_v beguile_v he_o so_o therefore_o according_a to_o jesus_n christ_n exhortation_n if_o we_o mean_v that_o the_o meat_n which_o we_o take_v shall_v be_v sanctify_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o look_v that_o god_n be_v honour_v by_o they_o and_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n how_o it_o be_v of_o his_o only_a freegoodnesse_n that_o we_o be_v nourish_v by_o they_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o can_v neither_o do_v he_o good_a nor_o harm_n neither_o have_v he_o need_v of_o any_o thing_n let_v we_o show_v our_o good_a will_n towards_o his_o poor_a servant_n for_o they_o be_v his_o bailiff_n who_o he_o send_v to_o we_o to_o receive_v the_o fine_n and_o other_o duty_n that_o we_o owe_v he_o for_o all_o his_o benefit_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o that_o say_n now_o it_o be_v say_v further_o that_o if_o the_o people_n do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a and_o just_a before_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v bless_v both_o they_o and_o their_o child_n hereby_o we_o be_v still_o warn_v that_o if_o we_o will_v direct_v our_o life_n aright_o we_o must_v not_o follow_v our_o own_o good_a intent_n as_o they_o call_v they_o but_o harken_v what_o god_n say_v unto_o we_o and_o rest_v simple_o upon_o his_o will_n as_o shall_v be_v declare_v more_o at_o large_a to_o morrow_n by_o god_n will_n nevertheless_o moses_n warn_v the_o people_n here_o as_o he_o do_v in_o many_o

for_o if_o we_o shall_v fashion_v ourselves_o after_o the_o world_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o we_o see_v how_o the_o great_a multitude_n live_v out_o of_o all_o order_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o make_v evil_a custom_n a_o law_n when_o whoredom_n drunkenness_n outrage_n violence_n and_o blasphemy_n reign_v we_o will_v bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o such_o thing_n be_v permit_v us._n and_o why_o because_o they_o be_v grow_v into_o custom_n now_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v follow_v the_o guise_n of_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v be_v carry_v quite_o away_o again_o even_o they_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v full_a of_o devotion_n may_v chance_v to_o use_v some_o pelt_a trash_n and_o baggage_n in_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n they_o may_v happen_v to_o make_v a_o number_n of_o geugawe_n and_o riff-raff_n but_o all_o such_o thing_n be_v nothing_o worth_a they_o be_v but_o flat_a mockery_n so_o then_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o walk_v before_o god_n &_o although_o we_o see_v thing_n utter_o out_o of_o order_n and_o all_o bring_v to_o confusion_n yet_o must_v we_o hold_v the_o right_a way_n still_o which_o god_n show_v unto_o us._n if_o we_o see_v man_n go_v astray_o and_o

let_v he_o be_v punish_v according_a to_o his_o desert_n now_o hereby_o he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v not_o let_v any_o such_o fault_n escape_v as_o aught_o to_o be_v punish_v neither_o behove_v it_o we_o alone_o to_o show_v our_o zeal_n in_o punish_v of_o great_a enormity_n but_o also_o to_o consider_v that_o small_a fault_n draw_v on_o the_o great_a when_o they_o be_v

the_o practice_n nowadays_o run_v clean_o contrary_a for_o man_n seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o lessen_v their_o fault_n in_o deed_n a_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v altogether_o excuse_v when_o he_o

you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n now_o whereas_o god_n speak_v thus_o unto_o earthly_a judge_n let_v we_o know_v that_o for_o his_o part_n he_o may_v well_o

the_o people_n be_v unthankful_a they_o shall_v ere_o that_o time_n have_v be_v convey_v into_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o then_o have_v moses_n go_v in_o with_o they_o but_o his_o life_n be_v

here_o than_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o god_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o punish_v they_o with_o such_o extremity_n

of_o unthankfulness_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v thirty_o day_n for_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n to_o make_v such_o sorrow_n for_o the_o dead_a but_o forasmuch_o as_o moses_n be_v a_o father_n to_o all_o the_o whole_a people_n it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o not_o some_o one_o house_n or_o kindred_n but_o that_o all_o those_o
