there_o a_o god_n in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n that_o can_v do_v like_o thy_o work_v or_o like_o thy_o power_n here_o moses_n challenge_v all_o the_o idol_n god_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o among_o

of_o moses_n in_o these_o word_n i_o pray_v thou_o etc._n etc._n then_o the_o answer_n of_o god_n for_o his_o prayer_n than_o the_o mitigate_a of_o his_o anger_n set_v down_o in_o these_o word_n let_v it_o suffice_v thou_o or_o be_v content_a etc._n etc._n speak_v no_o more_o unto_o i_o of_o this_o matter_n then_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v unto_o moses_n that_o he_o shall_v see_v the_o

etc._n etc._n here_o moses_n pray_v like_o one_o of_o we_o who_o be_v always_o crave_v but_o never_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o say_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v christ_n have_v not_o teach_v we_o to_o ask_v our_o daily_a bread_n before_o he_o teach_v we_o to_o say_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v and_o therefore_o christ_n when_o he_o go_v to_o pray_v 36_o after_o he_o have_v pray_v that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o hour_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o yet_o after_o remember_v how_o he_o have_v teach_v his_o disciple_n before_o return_v again_o and_o say_v nevertheless_o not_o that_o i_o will_v but_o that_o thou_o will_v be_v do_v and_o our_o prayer_n make_v after_o this_o sort_n be_v the_o cause_n many_o time_n why_o we_o be_v not_o hear_v therefore_o let_v we_o hereafter_o learn_v in_o our_o prayer_n to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v may_v be_v do_v what_o this_o mountain_n lebanon_n be_v sure_o moses_n mean_v the_o place_n where_o the_o temple_n shall_v be_v

the_o eleven_o of_o number_n the_o eleven_o verse_n &_o therefore_o moses_n may_v have_v keep_v it_o from_o they_o 13._o but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o justify_v himself_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o

but_o moses_n have_v rather_o die_v than_o anger_n the_o lord_n again_o when_o he_o have_v bid_v he_o be_v content_a thus_o we_o may_v learn_v of_o moses_n to_o be_v content_a with_o our_o call_n

to_o see_v great_a substance_n as_o he_o have_v some_o of_o our_o brethren_n yet_o because_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v discontent_n he_o will_v give_v we_o as_o much_o pleasure_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o

to_o other_o as_o well_o as_o to_o he_o that_o they_o may_v do_v he_o good_a as_o he_o may_v do_v they_o good_a so_o that_o if_o you_o ask_v paul_n as_o the_o jew_n ask_v christ_n by_o what_o

for_o i_o myself_o be_v almost_o puff_v up_o with_o it_o if_o paul_n may_v learn_v his_o own_o lesson_n than_o it_o be_v like_a that_o none_o here_o have_v learn_v it_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n

scholar_n come_v to_o christ_n disciple_n to_o who_o he_o will_v have_v answer_v like_o paul_n be_v wise_a unto_o sobriety_n five_o thing_n in_o my_o judgement_n be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o these_o

that_o every_o man_n affect_v a_o kind_n of_o wisdom_n either_o according_a to_o sobriety_n as_o paul_n counsel_v the_o roman_n or_o above_o sobriety_n as_o the_o roman_n do_v before_o the_o three_o be_v few_o be_v wise_a as_o god_n count_v wisdom_n &_o therefore_o paul_n speak_v to_o all_o as_o though_o all_o be_v to_o learn_v this_o lesson_n the_o four_o be_v that_o sobriety_n do_v show_v like_o a_o glass_n who_o be_v wise_a
