our_o sin_n be_v wash_v with_o christ_n blood_n when_o our_o body_n be_v wash_v they_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o water_n again_o to_o signify_v how_o we_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o how_o we_o shall_v rise_v from_o sin_n to_o righteousness_n thus_o we_o begin_v our_o life_n with_o a_o solemn_a promise_n to_o god_n before_o the_o church_n to_o serve_v he_o with_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n till_o death_n we_o depart_v now_o let_v we_o remember_v how_o we_o have_v keep_v this_o promise_n with_o the_o lord_n or_o rather_o how_o we_o have_v break_v promise_n with_o he_o then_o we_o give_v ourselves_o to_o god_n but_o since_o we_o have_v give_v ourselves_o to_o sin_n then_o we_o promise_v to_o renounce_v the_o world_n but_o ever_o since_o we_o have_v embrace_v the_o world_n therefore_o now_o let_v we_o begin_v to_o pay_v that_o which_o we_o ought_v so_o long_o and_o pray_v the_o lord_n which_o have_v institute_v this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o receive_v this_o child_n into_o his_o favour_n as_o we_o receive_v it_o into_o his_o church_n 11._o to_o baptize_v it_o with_o his_o spirit_n as_o we_o baptize_v it_o with_o water_n and_o power_n upon_o it_o his_o grace_n as_o we_o give_v it_o the_o sign_n of_o grace_n finis_fw-la the_o pilgrim_n wish_v philip_n 1._o 23._o i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ._n here_o be_v paul_n desire_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o the_o cause_n that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o christ_n wherein_o first_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o wicked_a how_o one_o loathe_v this_o life_n and_o the_o other_o long_v after_o it_o second_o because_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o desire_v death_n you_o shall_v see_v whether_o any_o man_n may_v wish_v to_o die_v three_o because_o after_o his_o dissolution_n he_o hope_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o diversity_n of_o judgement_n between_o paul_n and_o the_o papist_n which_o think_v when_o they_o be_v dead_a that_o they_o shall_v go_v on_o to_o purgatory_n last_o because_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v with_o christ_n can_v walk_v as_o they_o do_v when_o they_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n you_o shall_v hear_v a_o little_a of_o walk_v spirit_n which_o have_v be_v so_o much_o talk_v of_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o be_v take_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o they_o which_o be_v dead_a after_o we_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o you_o come_v to_o receive_v and_o so_o commit_v you_o to_o god_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v 10._o before_o christ_n come_n when_o the_o king_n or_o patriarch_n die_v it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o go_v to_o their_o father_n 37_o as_o we_o read_v of_o david_n and_o solomon_n 1._o etc._n etc._n but_o after_o christ_n come_n when_o the_o faithful_a die_n they_o be_v say_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n 7._o as_o we_o read_v of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n luke_n 23._o 43._o not_o because_o the_o patriarch_n go_v not_o to_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o because_o yet_o christ_n be_v not_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n although_o if_o they_o go_v to_o heaven_n they_o must_v needs_o go_v to_o christ_n because_o christ_n touch_v his_o godhead_n be_v always_o in_o heaven_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v as_o the_o worldly_a long_o for_o christ_n to_o come_v to_o they_o so_o the_o faithful_a long_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o unless_o we_o ascend_v to_o he_o as_o he_o descend_v to_o we_o his_o descend_v be_v in_o vain_a because_o he_o come_v down_o that_o we_o may_v go_v up_o he_o descend_v to_o take_v our_o flesh_n we_o ascend_v to_o take_v his_o kingdom_n he_o descend_v to_o be_v crucify_v we_o ascend_v to_o be_v glorify_v he_o descend_v to_o hell_n we_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o joy_n to_o glory_n to_o bliss_n to_o our_o father_n to_o our_o saviour_n to_o our_o comforter_n to_o angel_n to_o saint_n to_o eternal_a life_n therefore_o good_a cause_n have_v paul_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v be_v at_o rest_n for_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v the_o sweet_a voice_n that_o ever_o the_o thief_n hear_v in_o this_o life_n when_o christ_n say_v unto_o he_o this_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n luke_n 23._o chap_a vers_fw-la 45._o beside_o as_o paul_n persecute_v before_o so_o he_o be_v after_o persecute_v himself_o as_o he_o tell_v the_o corinthian_n 2._o cor._n 11._o 24._o i_o be_v thrice_o beat_v with_o rod_n i_o be_v once_o stone_v i_o suffer_v thrice_o shipwreck_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o good_a cause_n have_v paul_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v be_v out_o of_o trouble_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o dissolve_v himself_o but_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o be_v that_o he_o which_o bring_v he_o into_o this_o world_n will_v take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n neither_o do_v he_o wish_v or_o pray_v or_o make_v any_o petition_n to_o god_n to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o tell_v he_o his_o desire_n desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v to_o desire_n be_v not_o to_o pray_v but_o show_v what_o we_o approve_v neither_o do_v he_o desire_v so_o to_o be_v dissolve_v as_o though_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o labour_n &_o will_v suffer_v no_o more_o for_o christ_n but_o he_o be_v content_a to_o live_v as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 24._o vers_fw-la nevertheless_o for_o i_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v better_a for_o you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o do_v you_o good_a i_o be_o content_a to_o suffer_v evil_a and_o stay_v still_o from_o christ_n who_o i_o long_o to_o be_v with_o see_v then_o that_o he_o will_v not_o dissolve_v himself_o nor_o pray_v to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o be_v content_a to_o live_v still_o why_o do_v he_o say_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v only_o to_o show_v what_o he_o prefer_v in_o his_o desire_n if_o he_o may_v choose_v life_n or_o death_n for_o his_o own_o respect_n he_o can_v be_v content_a to_o leave_v friend_n and_o riches_n and_o pleasure_n and_o life_n and_o all_o only_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o good_a lesson_n for_o sickeman_n when_o they_o can_v live_v no_o long_o then_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n be_v better_o then_o to_o be_v with_o the_o glutton_n which_o never_o think_v of_o heaven_n till_o he_o be_v in_o hell_n 16._o but_o paul_n be_v not_o sick_a nor_o sore_a when_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v therefore_o this_o be_v not_o only_o for_o the_o sick_a but_o for_o the_o whole_a if_o he_o have_v wish_v to_o live_v &_o stay_v still_o in_o the_o world_n no_o man_n need_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o say_v after_o he_o for_o young_a &_o old_a desire_v not_o to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o few_o be_v content_a to_o be_v dissolve_v to_o a_o natural_a man_n in_o this_o life_n nothing_o be_v so_o sweet_a as_o life_n itself_o and_o he_o which_o be_v in_o love_n with_o this_o world_n seldom_o die_v quiet_o upon_o his_o bed_n but_o to_o a_o mind_n which_o mislike_v this_o world_n nothing_o can_v come_v so_o welcome_a as_o death_n because_o it_o take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n this_o it_o be_v which_o paul_n will_v have_v we_o learn_v that_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n be_v so_o precious_a or_o pleasant_a that_o for_o it_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o live_v or_o stay_v from_o god_n one_o hour_n though_o all_o may_v not_o wish_v to_o die_v yet_o all_o must_v subscribe_v to_o this_o that_o death_n be_v better_a than_o life_n because_o it_o lead_v to_o christ_n which_o when_o paul_n have_v through_o taste_v he_o be_v satisfy_v for_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o desire_v to_o live_v no_o long_o that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o christ_n herein_o appear_v the_o end_n of_o man_n life_n which_o when_o he_o have_v obtain_v he_o desire_v to_o live_v no_o long_o how_o great_a riches_n and_o honour_n and_o friend_n soever_o he_o leave_v behind_o he_o from_o the_o time_n he_o know_v christ_n crucify_v 22._o and_o begin_v like_o enoch_n to_o walk_v with_o god_n he_o cry_v ever_o after_o with_o the_o apostle_n 24._o i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o sin_n death_n wear_v to_o i_o advantage_n even_o as_o simeon_n rejoice_v that_o christ_n come_v to_o he_o 28._o so_o the_o faithful_a rejoice_n that_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o christ_n the_o necessity_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o irksome_a to_o he_o which_o know_v the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n that_o the_o faithful_a man_n but_o to_o do_v good_a will_v not_o live_v
cause_n we_o read_v of_o none_o but_o wicked_a lamech_n before_o the_o flood_n 23._o that_o have_v more_o wife_n than_o one_o who_o jovinian_a call_v a_o monster_n because_o he_o make_v two_o rib_n of_o one_o and_o another_o say_v that_o the_o name_n of_o his_o second_o wife_n do_v signify_v a_o shadow_n because_o she_o be_v not_o a_o wife_n but_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o wife_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o scripture_n never_o bid_v man_n to_o love_v his_o wife_n but_o to_o love_v his_o wife_n and_o say_v 5._o they_o shall_v be_v two_o in_o one_o flesh_n not_o three_o nor_o four_o but_o only_o two_o for_o this_o cause_n king_n solomon_n call_v the_o whorish_a woman_n a_o strange_a woman_n 16._o to_o show_v that_o she_o shall_v be_v a_o stranger_n unto_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v strange_a to_o she_o for_o this_o cause_n child_n which_o be_v bear_v in_o marriage_n be_v call_v liberi_fw-la which_o signify_v free_a bear_v and_o they_o which_o be_v bear_v out_o of_o marriage_n

which_o sow_v another_o man_n ground_n 22._o other_o sow_n for_o a_o harvest_n but_o they_o sow_v that_o which_o they_o dare_v not_o reap_v therefore_o child_n bear_v in_o wedlock_n be_v count_v god_n

that_o he_o do_v curse_v and_o not_o bless_v such_o increase_n therefore_o we_o read_v not_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o one_o bastard_n that_o come_v to_o any_o good_a bastard_n but_o only_o jephtah_n 1._o and_o to_o show_v that_o no_o inheritance_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o in_o heaven_n curse_n they_o have_v no_o inheritance_n in_o earth_n neither_o be_v count_v of_o the_o

a_o sore_a punishment_n upon_o he_o which_o do_v commit_v uncleanness_n after_o marriage_n 10._o then_o upon_o he_o which_o be_v not_o marry_v 22._o because_o he_o sin_v fornicator_n although_o he_o have_v the_o remedy_n of_o sin_n like_o a_o rich_a thief_n which_o steal_v and_o have_v no_o need_n now_o if_o marriage_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n then_o unless_o minister_n may_v commit_v the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n minister_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o may_v use_v the_o remedy_n as_o well_o as_o other_o for_o as_o it_o be_v better_a for_o one_o man_n to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v so_o it_o be_v better_a for_o all_o man_n to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v marriage_n be_v honourable_a among_o all_o man_n 9_o and_o again_o 4._o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o fornication_n let_v every_o man_n have_v his_o wife_n 7._o and_o as_o though_o he_o do_v foresee_v that_o some_o will_v except_v the_o minister_n in_o time_n to_o come_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o timothy_n the_o three_o chapter_n and_o second_o verse_n he_o speak_v more_o precise_o of_o the_o minister_n wife_n then_o of_o any_o other_o 2._o say_v let_v he_o be_v the_o husband_n of_o one_o wife_n and_o lest_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o by_o one_o wife_n he_o mean_v one_o benefice_n like_o the_o papist_n he_o expound_v himself_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n and_o say_v that_o he_o must_v be_v one_o that_o can_v rule_v his_o house_n well_o and_o his_o child_n sure_a god_n will_v not_o have_v these_o child_n to_o be_v bastard_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v like_a that_o he_o allow_v the_o minister_n a_o wife_n therefore_o paul_n say_v well_o 6._o that_o he_o have_v no_o commandment_n for_o virginity_n for_o virginity_n can_v be_v command_v because_o it_o be_v a_o special_a gift_n but_o not_o a_o special_a gift_n to_o minister_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bind_v more_o than_o other_o a_o peculiar_a gift_n may_v not_o be_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n because_o none_o can_v use_v it_o but_o they_o which_o have_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o 1._o cor._n 7._o 17._o he_o say_v 17._o as_o god_n have_v distribute_v to_o every_o man_n so_o let_v he_o walk_v that_o be_v if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o continency_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o marry_v &_o therefore_o paul_n command_v in_o the_o seven_o verse_n whether_o he_o be_v minister_v or_o other_o if_o they_o can_v not_o abstain_v let_v they_o marry_v as_o though_o they_o tempt_v god_n if_o they_o marry_v not_o the_o law_n be_v general_a it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o 18._o exempt_n one_o order_n of_o man_n no_o more_o than_o another_o 11._o and_o again_o christ_n speak_v of_o chastity_n say_v all_o man_n can_v receive_v this_o thing_n therefore_o unless_o we_o know_v that_o this_o order_n of_o man_n can_v receive_v this_o thing_n christ_n forbid_v to_o bind_v they_o more_o than_o other_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o priest_n be_v marry_v that_o teach_v the_o law_n so_o christ_n choose_v apostle_n that_o be_v marry_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o papist_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 3._o for_o paul_n call_v the_o forbid_v of_o marriage_n the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n a_o fit_a title_n for_o all_o their_o book_n last_o if_o marriage_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o sin_n than_o marriage_n itself_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o if_o marriage_n itself_o be_v a_o sin_n 8._o we_o may_v not_o marry_v for_o any_o cause_n because_o we_o must_v not_o do_v the_o least_o evil_a that_o the_o great_a good_n may_v come_v of_o it_o and_o if_o marriage_n be_v not_o a_o sin_n than_o the_o offensive_a duty_n of_o marriage_n be_v not_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o secret_a of_o marriage_n be_v not_o evil_a and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v 4._o not_o only_a marriage_n be_v honourable_a but_o the_o bed_n be_v honourable_a that_o be_v even_o the_o action_n of_o marriage_n be_v as_o lawful_a as_o marriage_n beside_o 8._o paul_n say_v let_v the_o husband_n give_v unto_o the_o wise_a due_a benevolence_n here_o be_v a_o commandment_n to_o yield_v this_o duty_n that_o which_o be_v command_v be_v lawful_a and_o not_o to_o do_v it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o commandment_n therefore_o marriage_n be_v institute_v before_o any_o sin_n be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o abuse_v but_o because_o this_o be_v rare_a therefore_o after_o woman_n be_v deliver_v etc._n god_n appoint_v they_o to_o be_v purify_v show_v that_o some_o stain_n or_o other_o do_v creep_v into_o this_o action_n which_o have_v need_v to_o be_v repent_v 5._o and_o therefore_o when_o they_o pray_v paul_n will_v not_o have_v they_o come_v together_o lest_o their_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hinder_v the_o three_o cause_n be_v to_o avoid_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o solitariness_n signify_v in_o these_o word_n cause_n it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o 2._o as_o though_o he_o have_v say_v this_o life_n will_v be_v miserable_a and_o irksome_a and_o unpleasant_a to_o man_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v he_o a_o wife_n to_o company_n his_o trouble_n if_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o than_o it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n to_o have_v a_o fellow_n therefore_o as_o god_n create_v a_o pair_n of_o all_o other_o kind_n so_o he_o create_v a_o pair_n of_o this_o kind_n we_o say_v that_o one_o be_v none_o because_o he_o can_v be_v few_o than_o one_o he_o can_v be_v lesser_a than_o one_o he_o can_v be_v weak_a than_o one_o and_o therefore_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v 10._o woe_n to_o he_o which_o be_v alone_o that_o be_v he_o which_o be_v alone_o shall_v have_v woe_n thought_n and_o care_n and_o fear_n will_v come_v to_o he_o because_o

not_o hear_v he_o although_o he_o be_v a_o great_a man_n and_o in_o high_a authority_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o confess_v his_o fault_n which_o he_o may_v have_v keep_v secret_a if_o he_o will_v for_o the_o people_n know_v not_o that_o he_o have_v sin_v because_o the_o sin_n which_o he_o commit_v be_v not_o open_a but_o secret_n yea_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a repine_v as_o in_o 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 the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o 22_o and_o because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o people_n to_o justify_v themselves_o he_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v for_o their_o sake_n thus_o when_o moses_n change_v his_o prayer_n god_n will_v no_o long_o hear_v he_o so_o we_o see_v that_o where_o sin_n be_v their_o prayer_n be_v not_o effectual_a so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v hope_v to_o receive_v by_o prayer_n any_o thing_n at_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v first_o remove_v and_o take_v a_o way_n the_o cause_n of_o our_o hindrance_n which_o be_v sin_n before_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o thing_n we_o pray_v for_o 19_o for_o here_o we_o see_v that_o prayer_n which_o before_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n 14_o which_o heal_v meriam_n be_v strike_v with_o leprosy_n 14._o which_o raise_v the_o

and_o triumph_v over_o all_o 12._o be_v here_o by_o a_o little_a sin_n quite_o overthrow_v even_o like_o a_o great_a monarch_n poison_v with_o a_o little_a spider_n but_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o i_o for_o your_o sake_n and_o will_v not_o hear_v i_o god_n when_o moses_n have_v pray_v do_v not_o grant_v his_o request_n but_o be_v angry_a with_o he_o but_o lest_o moses_n shall_v be_v quite_o discourage_v he_o straight_o way_n mitigate_v his_o anger_n &_o bid_v he_o be_v content_a and_o speak_v no_o more_o unto_o he_o of_o that_o matter_n god_n do_v not_o bid_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o pray_v any_o more_o unto_o he_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v pray_v no_o more_o for_o that_o thing_n first_o god_n bid_v he_o to_o be_v content_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v although_o thou_o may_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n yet_o i_o will_v content_v thou_o other_o way_n thus_o god_n will_v have_v we_o in_o what_o estate_n soever_o we_o be_v to_o be_v content_a with_o our_o call_n for_o it_o be_v his_o appointment_n and_o see_v he_o have_v in_o ough_o to_o content_v we_o all_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o murmur_v nor_o grudge_v one_o at_o another_o but_o be_v thankful_a unto_o he_o because_o it_o be_v his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o sure_o moses_n will_v and_o be_v willing_a that_o the_o jew_n shall_v profit_v by_o his_o doctrine_n for_o he_o have_v set_v it_o down_o in_o the_o 20._o of_o number_n twice_o 13._o and_o in_o the_o 27._o 13._o in_o the_o 32._o deut._n 49._o and_o in_o this_o place_n all_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o show_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o content_v all_o 49._o he_o be_v not_o like_a to_o jacob_n 33_o who_o when_o he_o have_v bless_v one_o of_o his_o son_n can_v not_o bless_v the_o

that_o weep_v he_o bless_v they_o that_o be_v revile_v and_o suffer_v for_o christ_n sake_n there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o his_o blessing_n because_o his_o mercy_n indureeh_a for_o ever_o god_n be_v so_o merciful_a that_o though_o we_o be_v nor_o able_a to_o pray_v aright_o yet_o he_o consider_v of_o our_o prayer_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o best_a for_o our_o good_a 135._o not_o grant_v our_o request_n many_o time_n but_o a_o better_a thing_n than_o we_o do_v desire_n of_o he_o as_o when_o david_n pray_v that_o the_o child_n get_v in_o adultery_n may_v live_v god_n hear_v he_o and_o do_v consider_v of_o it_o yet_o do_v not_o grant_v his_o request_n but_o a_o better_a thing_n that_o be_v that_o his_o son_n solomon_n shall_v reign_v after_o he_o and_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n pray_v that_o that_o hour_n may_v pass_v over_o he_o god_n hear_v he_o and_o do_v consider_v of_o it_o yet_o do_v not_o grant_v his_o request_n but_o a_o better_a thing_n that_o his_o death_n shall_v take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o here_o in_o this_o place_n where_o moses_n pria_v god_n hear_v his_o prayer_n and_o do_v consider_v of_o it_o yet_o do_v not_o grant_v his_o request_n but_o a_o better_a thing_n that_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v go_v into_o heavenly_a canaan_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v so_o merciful_a that_o he_o can_v scarce_o punish_v sinner_n he_o be_v so_o love_a that_o often_o he_o give_v we_o better_a thing_n than_o we_o can_v desire_v who_o then_o will_v offend_v so_o merciful_a and_o love_a a_o father_n let_v we_o see_v god_n be_v so_o merciful_a unto_o we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o abuse_v not_o his_o mercy_n lest_o in_o so_o do_v we_o provoke_v he_o unto_o judgement_n now_o god_n have_v tell_v moses_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o go_v into_o the_o land_n he_o begin_v to_o teach_v he_o how_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o see_v it_o and_o bid_v he_o go_v up_o into_o the_o top_n of_o pisgah_n and_o cast_v his_o eye_n estward_o and_o westward_o and_o northward_o and_o southward_o and_o behold_v it_o etc._n etc._n as_o a_o bird_n stay_v with_o a_o little_a string_n or_o a_o strong_a man_n in_o swim_v hold_v back_o by_o a_o small_a twig_n so_o a_o little_a sin_n stay_v this_o great_a captain_n that_o he_o can_v come_v within_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n first_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o &_o envy_v he_o altogether_o as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a so_o much_o as_o to_o go_v up_o the_o mount_n thus_o we_o may_v see_v how_o one_o of_o the_o least_o sin_n be_v able_a to_o turn_v from_o we_o all_o the_o goodness_n &_o all_o the_o favour_n which_o god_n bear_v to_o us._n after_o god_n command_v moses_n to_o go_v up_o the_o mount_n here_o moses_n obei_v god_n commandment_n but_o if_o he_o have_v be_v like_o many_o a_o murmur_a man_n he_o will_v have_v deny_v to_o go_v up_o the_o mount_n say_v what_o banquet_n be_v this_o to_o i_o but_o a_o dainty_a dish_n set_v before_o one_o forbid_v to_o eat_v 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 whether_o we_o have_v little_a or_o much_o for_o god_n content_v moses_n as_o well_o with_o the_o sight_n of_o canaan_n as_o those_o who_o possess_v it_o so_o when_o god_n have_v not_o ordain_v we_o 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 they_o in_o other_o as_o though_o we_o ourselves_o enjoy_v they_o so_o god_n contenth_fw-mi moses_n and_o he_o content_v josua_n for_o as_o josua_n come_v into_o the_o land_n as_o moses_n can_v not_o
