slothful_a there_o be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o because_o his_o goodness_n be_v sufficient_o warrant_v unto_o we_o and_o it_o be_v long_o of_o none_o but_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o full_o resolve_v and_o persuade_v that_o he_o will_v go_v through_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v begin_v and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o every_o of_o we_o bethink_v himself_o well_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n by_o infinite_a way_n make_v we_o to_o overcome_v the_o thing_n that_o seem_v unpossible_a but_o what_o to_o set_v forth_o our_o own_o valiant_a deed_n we_o can_v well_o enough_o allege_v this_o and_o that_o and_o our_o memory_n be_v but_o too_o good_a and_o though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o that_o we_o have_v do_v yet_o we_o can_v skill_n to_o magnify_v it_o and_o to_o make_v great_a report_n of_o it_o loe_o how_o man_n can_v be_v quick_a enough_o to_o remember_v all_o that_o ever_o they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o life_n that_o may_v set_v forth_o their_o own_o glory_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o do_v wicked_o forget_v the_o benefit_n of_o god._n and_o yet_o work_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a towards_o we_o as_o aught_o to_o quicken_v we_o up_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o goodness_n or_o else_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o do_v but_o thrust_v all_o under_o foot_n he_o shall_v have_v deliver_v we_o from_o many_o after_o delay_n and_o he_o shall_v have_v make_v we_o to_o have_v pass_v many_o great_a let_v so_o as_o we_o may_v have_v think_v that_o we_o have_v be_v utter_o shut_v out_o and_o fordo_v and_o he_o shall_v have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o never_o think_v of_o it_o again_o now_o then_o where_o as_o we_o see_v man_n to_o be_v reckless_a and_o slothful_a in_o follow_v god_n it_o be_v because_o they_o forget_v his_o benefit_n which_o they_o have_v have_v proof_n of_o and_o become_v like_o the_o jew_n and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o all_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n in_o this_o behalf_n and_o to_o mourn_v before_o god_n and_o to_o seek_v redress_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n by_o similitude_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n when_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v set_v forth_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n let_v we_o consider_v whereat_o god_n have_v begin_v in_o we_o by_o what_o

too_o apparent_a conviction_n now_o therefore_o if_o we_o think_v there_o upon_o and_o consider_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o behold_v our_o god_n have_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o power_n we_o have_v have_v too_o apparent_a experience_n thereof_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o gulf_n of_o hell_n he_o have_v rid_v we_o out_o of_o the_o bond_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o of_o death_n let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v always_o continue_v like_o himself_o hereafter_o and_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n furthermore_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v well_o this_o say_n in_o this_o text_n the_o god_n of_o thy_o father_n have_v promise_v thou_o the_o land_n behold_v therefore_o it_o be_v at_o thy_o commandment_n enter_v into_o it_o and_o take_v possession_n of_o it_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v yield_v so_o much_o honour_n to_o god_n truth_n as_o to_o be_v full_o and_o thorough_o resolve_v in_o ourselves_o that_o inasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o to_o his_o child_n our_o inheritance_n be_v certain_a and_o infallible_a in_o heaven_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o we_o but_o to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o god_n

13.24_o and_o 31._o and_o in_o very_a deed_n for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v the_o gospel_n call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o open_v the_o gate_n unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o nowadays_o shall_v not_o doubt_n but_o that_o god_n avow_v we_o to_o be_v his_o heir_n but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o further_a consideration_n of_o the_o inheritance_n that_o god_n give_v we_o than_o of_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o moses_n speak_v of_o for_o it_o stand_v the_o jew_n on_o hand_n to_o have_v hold_v themselves_o still_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v speak_v to_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v our_o head_n in_o such_o wise_a that_o be_v once_o unyte_v unto_o he_o we_o become_v partaker_n of_o his_o own_o substance_n and_o life_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n belong_v unto_o us._n now_o then_o like_v as_o moses_n say_v unto_o the_o jew_n the_o god_n of_o your_o father_n so_o must_v this_o voice_n sound_o in_o our_o ear_n the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o only_o promise_v we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o also_o give_v we_o wherewith_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o the_o better_a of_o it_o for_o we_o have_v the_o performance_n &_o effect_n thereof_o in_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n suffer_v death_n to_o recover_v we_o the_o inheritance_n whereof_o we_o be_v bereave_v and_o dispossess_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o father_n adam_n now_o than_o we_o see_v after_o what_o sort_n we_o ought_v to_o look_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o although_o we_o be_v unhappy_a wretch_n although_o we_o deserve_v to_o be_v reject_v of_o our_o god_n although_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o cursednesse_n in_o we_o and_o although_o that_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v plunge_v in_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n yet_o notwithstanding_o see_v that_o god_n have_v adopt_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o make_v we_o all_o one_o with_o he_o by_o faith_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o we_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o why_o for_o god_n can_v lie_v and_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v unchaungeable_a we_o have_v sufficient_a warrant_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v by_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o again_o we_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o he_o have_v not_o only_o take_v solemn_a recognizance_n as_o a_o public_a notary_n but_o also_o accomplish_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o god_n his_o father_n he_o have_v sign_v the_o evidence_n in_o such_o wise_a with_o his_o own_o blood_n as_o we_o see_v he_o have_v pay_v that_o which_o he_o owe_v not_o and_o that_o which_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v withal_o so_o then_o let_v we_o have_v this_o steadfast_a assuredness_n with_o we_o that_o god_n avow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o consequent_o that_o we_o be_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n howbeit_o let_v we_o always_o take_v that_o assuredness_n out_o of_o the_o gospel_n according_o as_o we_o see_v that_o moses_n lead_v the_o jew_n thither_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v the_o heavenly_a power_n that_o be_v utter_v every_o where_o in_o the_o rise_n again_o of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o how_o may_v we_o apply_v such_o a_o benefit_n to_o ourselves_o or_o how_o can_v we_o enjoy_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o faith_n therefore_o like_a as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v purchace_v we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n so_o be_v it_o his_o will_n that_o comfort_n shall_v be_v give_v we_o nowadays_o by_o his_o gospel_n where_o he_o witness_v unto_o we_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o do_v be_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o for_o our_o welfare_n so_o that_o have_v that_o once_o and_o be_v assure_v thereof_o we_o may_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v purchase_v for_o us._n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n we_o must_v do_v so_o much_o honour_n to_o the_o gospel_n as_o to_o behold_v that_o thing_n by_o faith_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o our_o eye_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o land_n be_v at_o thy_o commandment_n now_o if_o we_o believe_v our_o sense_n we_o can_v perceive_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v we_o or_o in_o our_o hand_n it_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v too_o far_o off_o
be_v able_a to_o make_v god_n servant_n quite_o out_o of_o patience_n but_o what_o for_o that_o we_o must_v take_v courage_n as_o saint_n paul_n comfort_v us._n he_o say_v that_o whether_o god_n word_n bring_v life_n or_o death_n to_o man_n 2.15.16_o 2._o cor._n 2.15.16_o yet_o be_v it_o always_o a_o good_a and_o sweet_a savour_n before_o god._n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n word_n of_o itself_o as_o shall_v be_v declare_v more_o full_o hereafter_o be_v always_o the_o savour_n of_o life_n for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o god_n am_v at_o if_o we_o consider_v his_o word_n in_o it_o own_o nature_n the_o call_n of_o man_n back_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v a_o odour_n and_o savour_n of_o death_n insomuch_o as_o the_o wicked_a be_v strangle_v and_o choke_v with_o it_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o do_v but_o take_v the_o send_v or_o smell_n of_o it_o they_o need_v not_o to_o taste_v of_o it_o nor_o to_o eat_v of_o it_o if_o they_o do_v but_o take_v the_o send_v of_o it_o a_o great_a way_n of_o it_o be_v poison_n to_o they_o so_o that_o the_o devil_n carry_v they_o away_o and_o they_o fall_v to_o fret_v and_o chafe_v against_o god_n and_o all_o to_o their_o own_o destruction_n and_o do_v we_o see_v that_o god_n word_n turn_v into_o occasion_n of_o death_n to_o a_o great_a number_n of_o man_n yet_o must_v we_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n say_v s._n paul_n and_o why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o sweet_a savour_n unto_o god_n when_o man_n be_v make_v unexcusable_a but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o declare_v how_o god_n word_n tend_v unto_o life_n and_o how_o it_o have_v that_o property_n notwithstanding_o that_o man_n through_o their_o own_o wickedness_n do_v turn_v it_o to_o their_o deadly_a condemnation_n this_o be_v sufficient_o express_v in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n send_v a_o message_n of_o peace_n to_o sehon_n king_n of_o the_o amorrhytes_n his_o desire_n then_o be_v to_o abstain_v from_o all_o annoyance_n if_o sehon_n can_v abide_v it_o now_o let_v we_o see_v to_o what_o end_n the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o after_o what_o manner_n what_o else_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o but_o that_o god_n intend_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o world_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n in_o the_o five_o of_o the_o second_o to_o the_o corinthian_n 5.20_o 2._o cor._n 5.20_o in_o as_o much_o then_o as_o god_n send_v we_o tiding_n of_o peace_n so_o as_o his_o desire_n be_v to_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n to_o all_o such_o as_o yield_v themselves_o

message_n of_o peace_n and_o in_o deed_n the_o gospel_n be_v so_o entitle_v and_o not_o without_o cause_n 6.15_o ephes._n 6.15_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n also_o be_v a_o message_n of_o peace_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o promise_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o law_n strict_o 4.15_o rom._n 4.15_o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v diverse_a time_n of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a message_n of_o wrath_n but_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n god_n will_n be_v that_o sinner_n shall_v know_v his_o mercy_n and_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v it_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v peace_n both_o to_o they_o that_o be_v a_o far_o off_o and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v near_o hand_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n to_o the_o ephesian_n and_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v preach_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n 2.17_o eph._n 2.17_o that_o god_n only_a desire_n be_v to_o hold_v we_o in_o his_o love_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v find_v salvation_n in_o the_o gospel_n now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o god_n word_n consider_v in_o itself_o be_v a_o commission_n of_o peace_n further_a we_o to_o be_v join_v and_o make_v one_o with_o he_o so_o as_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o and_o rest_n in_o his_o

treat_v thereof_o in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o roman_n 1.16_o rom._n 1.16_o and_o therefore_o the_o minister_n thereof_o must_v have_v this_o consideration_n with_o they_o behold_v god_n send_v i_o and_o what_o put_v he_o in_o my_o mouth_n peace_n to_o offer_v it_o unto_o all_o man_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o even_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o message_n and_o understand_v that_o god_n seek_v they_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o know_v that_o this_o message_n can_v profit_v all_o man_n what_o must_v it_o do_v then_o it_o must_v make_v man_n unexcusable_a for_o what_o can_v be_v say_v to_o it_o if_o god_n handle_v man_n out_o of_o hand_n as_o they_o deserve_v we_o be_v all_o damn_a by_o nature_n we_o bring_v such_o a_o inheritance_n of_o

all_o escape_n we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v those_o who_o a_o man_n will_v have_v think_v to_o have_v be_v well_o dispose_v do_v burst_v forth_o and_o their_o malice_n be_v

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

6.18_o but_o this_o word_n heaven_n serve_v to_o pluck_v we_o from_o the_o world_n when_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o worship_v he_o we_o

now_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n pitch_v god_n tent_n in_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v lift_v up_o above_o all_o the_o world_n &_o above_o all_o creature_n when_o we_o think_v upon_o he_o why_o do_v moses_n in_o this_o place_n set_v he_o in_o the_o bush_n it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v there_o show_v himself_o unto_o he_o and_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o note_v that_o there_o be_v two_o dyverse_a fashion_n of_o speak_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o god_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o nevertheless_o this_o diversity_n be_v not_o to_o draw_v we_o into_o

like_a to_o ourselves_o by_o transform_v after_o our_o own_o imagination_n therefore_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n set_v forth_o god_n majesty_n so_o high_a as_o we_o be_v abash_v at_o it_o 6.2_o

for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v the_o more_o familiar_a access_n unto_o god_n by_o his_o come_n down_o so_o low_a at_o that_o time_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o when_o jacob_n be_v to_o

here_o we_o see_v well_o how_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v with_o guard_n of_o garment_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o have_v his_o law_n print_v in_o his_o people_n

and_o it_o greeve_v us._n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o talk_n of_o he_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a point_n for_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o psalm_n 〈…〉_o psal._n 〈…〉_o i_o

he_o will_v not_o bare_o give_v they_o whatsoever_o be_v needful_a for_o they_o but_o also_o give_v they_o their_o fill_n of_o his_o benefit_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v thorough_o satisfy_v with_o they_o that_o be_v for_o the_o one_o the_o second_o be_v a_o come_n back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o although_o god_n speak_v but_o of_o temporal_a good_n such_o as_o concern_v but_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o he_o lead_v they_o further_o thereby_o first_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n not_o only_o give_v and_o bestow_v upon_o we_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o but_o also_o in_o large_v and_o extend_v his_o riches_n yet_o further_o by_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o overmeasure_n and_o in_o very_a

let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n feed_v and_o maintain_v we_o in_o this_o world_n even_o to_o our_o own_o contentation_n the_o same_o must_v be_v a_o provocation_n to_o we_o to_o consider_v by_o

be_v bring_v unto_o they_o but_o whether_o solomon_n exceed_v measure_n or_o no_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o affirm_v we_o see_v what_o his_o disobedient_a son_n roboam_n say_v 11.24_o 1._o kin._n 11.24_o namely_o that_o whereas_o his_o father_n have_v beat_v the_o people_n with_o rod_n he_o will_v beat_v they_o with_o whip_n and_o he_o will_v lay_v upon_o they_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v

some_o excess_n in_o solomon_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v not_o for_o nought_o forbid_v king_n to_o gather_v great_a mass_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o do_v david_n use_v the_o prayer_n which_o i_o have_v rehearse_v before_o for_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o he_o see_v the_o

to_o hoard_v up_o great_a treasure_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o be_v scotfree_a so_o their_o heart_n inclyne_v not_o to_o pride_n vaynglorie_n and_o

that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o

nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o

to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o receive_v he_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o to_o become_v like_o poor_a hungry_a soul_n so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o we_o have_v need_n of_o this_o warning_n that_o we_o must_v be_v gather_v up_o with_o who_o with_o those_o which_o have_v go_v before_o us._n and_o without_o that_o what_o comfort_n shall_v we_o have_v less_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n
