that_o he_o succeed_v his_o father_n in_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o we_o must_v show_v by_o the_o effect_n that_o we_o so_o esteem_v heavenly_a benefit_n to_o

his_o son_n also_o must_v be_v like_o he_o but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n and_o of_o isaac_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o our_o faith_n be_v examine_v as_o it_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o god_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o confound_v and_o that_o be_v because_o we_o have_v not_o receive_v so_o great_a a_o measure_n of_o strength_n mark_v therefore_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n support_v our_o infirmity_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o our_o faith_n shall_v be_v idle_a so_o then_o we_o be_v here_o warn_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o many_o misery_n and_o
we_o learn_v albeit_o that_o god_n give_v we_o our_o desire_n and_o all_o the_o pleasure_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v wish_v for_o that_o we_o do_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n rest_n upon_o they_o

for_o his_o child_n he_o will_v always_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o when_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v thus_o thorough_o persuade_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v overcome_v all_o fear_n but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o shall_v imagine_v too_o be_v assure_v without_o the_o protection_n of_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o show_v we_o what_o our_o folly_n and_o overween_a be_v and_o this_o brief_o be_v that_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o place_n and_o so_o let_v we_o join_v these_o two_o thing_n together_o as_o inseparable_a and_o not_o to_o

god_n will_v give_v a_o confirmation_n to_o isaac_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v learn_v before_o of_o his_o father_n the_o papist_n make_v a_o buckler_n of_o this_o when_o they_o will_v keep_v

&_o elder_n well_o but_o when_o god_n be_v name_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n he_o presuppose_v this_o one_o thing_n to_o wit_n that_o abraham_n have_v a_o faith_n rule_v by_o the_o doctrine_n which_o have_v be_v teach_v he_o and_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o he_o name_v not_o himself_o the_o god_n of_o nachor_n and_o why_o be_v it_o that_o he_o call_v not_o himself_o the_o god_n of_o there_o for_o this_o have_v be_v somewhat_o more_o the_o papist_n will_v not_o say_v it_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n since_o that_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o service_n of_o god_n amongst_o we_o be_v

it_o according_a too_o our_o own_o brain_n but_o we_o must_v look_v unto_o that_o mark_n whereunto_o god_n will_v direct_v isaac_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o this_o be_v because_o abraham_n as_o we_o have_v say_v already_o have_v a_o full_a certainty_n of_o faith_n that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o opinion_n only_o as_o have_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n to_o say_v i_o imagine_v so_o i_o

this_o be_v much_o to_o our_o advantage_n and_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o despise_v it_o but_o if_o we_o have_v have_v father_n who_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n whereupon_o all_o paternity_n

of_o so_o honourable_a a_o title_n of_o father_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v not_o at_o a_o very_a word_n the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o so_o let_v we_o fear_v lest_o that_o be_v speak_v unto_o we_o
