she_o have_v regard_n unto_o god_n election_n and_o that_o she_o always_o hold_v that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v that_o jacob_n must_v be_v prefer_v we_o have_v here_o to_o judge_v that_o she_o be_v not_o passionate_a and_o affect_v as_o woman_n that_o will_v light_o set_v themselves_o against_o their_o husband_n when_o they_o see_v that_o some_o of_o their_o child_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o much_o esteem_v they_o will_v the_o more_o set_v their_o affection_n upon_o they_o but_o we_o can_v judge_v so_o of_o rebecca_n and_o why_o so_o because_o we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o she_o always_o refer_v herself_o to_o god_n &_o mean_v to_o obey_v that_o which_o he_o have_v pronounce_v she_o will_v undoubted_o that_o both_o the_o child_n may_v have_v be_v reserve_v in_o the_o church_n but_o see_v she_o see_v the_o one_o shut_v out_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o the_o lesser_a and_o inferior_a that_o god_n allow_v off_o she_o yield_v thereto_o now_o here_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n sometime_o will_v suffer_v those_o which_o have_v the_o more_o virtue_n and_o great_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o nevertheless_o to_o fall_v and_o that_o they_o who_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o advance_v as_o they_o shall_v outgo_v they_o i_o mean_v in_o some_o respect_n for_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n of_o isaac_n with_o rebeca_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o father_n &_o have_v receive_v so_o great_a instruction_n in_o his_o youth_n have_v general_o a_o great_a faith_n than_o rebecca_n but_o behold_v a_o particular_a action_n wherein_o he_o fail_v and_o wherein_o his_o vice_n show_v itself_o and_o yet_o rebecca_n who_o late_o crawl_v out_o of_o a_o den_n of_o idolatry_n as_o we_o know_v that_o in_o her_o father_n house_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o superstition_n the_o country_n be_v altogether_o corrupt_v this_o poor_a woman_n although_o she_o know_v not_o god_n in_o her_o youth_n yet_o notwithstanding_o she_o be_v so_o well_o teach_v and_o instruct_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o she_o outgo_v her_o husband_n now_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o too_o who_o god_n have_v reach_v out_o the_o hand_n betimes_o and_o who_o he_o have_v lift_v up_o to_o be_v as_o mirror_n unto_o other_o let_v they_o learn_v always_o to_o walk_v with_o great_a carefulness_n and_o why_o so_o for_o there_o need_v but_o one_o wry_a step_n to_o make_v they_o to_o fall_v so_o gross_o that_o every_o one_o will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o albeit_o our_o lord_n have_v general_o frame_v and_o fashion_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o every_o one_o have_v we_o in_o admiration_n that_o yet_o in_o particular_a case_n we_o may_v offend_v therefore_o let_v we_o always_o stand_v upon_o our_o watch_n moreover_o they_o which_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o fail_v in_o some_o point_n let_v they_o not_o make_v a_o buckler_n of_o this_o that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o many_o good_a deed_n and_o worthy_a of_o praise_n let_v they_o not_o allege_v their_o valiant_a deed_n as_o they_o say_v but_o let_v they_o acknowledge_v themselves_o for_o such_o as_o they_o be_v and_o say_v well_o i_o perceive_v that_o god_n will_v have_v i_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o be_o a_o weak_a man_n and_o far_o that_o i_o shall_v acknowledge_v in_o general_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o uphold_v themselves_o for_o there_o need_v but_o one_o fault_n alone_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n and_o when_o god_n have_v cast_v we_o of_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o so_o let_v we_o learn_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o father_n isaac_n when_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o blind_v and_o that_o he_o never_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v as_o a_o rebel_n to_o god_n in_o esteem_v that_o which_o god_n have_v reject_v and_o despise_v his_o young_a son_n too_o who_o notwithstanding_o god_n have_v give_v this_o testimony_n that_o he_o must_v rule_v in_o his_o house_n now_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n although_o that_o rebecca_n have_v be_v well_o guide_v in_o her_o affection_n and_o that_o she_o have_v seek_v to_o obey_v god_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o there_o must_v be_v some_o quarrel_n between_o they_o as_o oftentimes_o it_o fall_v out_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o moses_n say_v that_o isaac_n love_v esau_n and_o rebecca_n love_v jacob_n and_o when_o he_o speak_v so_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o will_v show_v that_o there_o be_v some_o strife_n in_o the_o house_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o agree_v together_o to_o say_v that_o the_o husband_n &_o the_o wife_n shall_v love_v their_o child_n alike_o as_o by_o nature_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v incline_v thereto_o or_o rather_o that_o they_o know_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v love_v the_o young_a now_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o behalf_n that_o albeit_o our_o affection_n be_v well_o ground_v &_o tend_v to_o a_o good_a end_n that_o notwithstanding_o there_o ●●e_z always_o cross_n which_o be_v blame_v worthy_a as_o for_o example_n i_o seek_v to_o follow_v god_n and_o full_o to_o conform_v myself_o unto_o his_o will_n but_o there_o be_v resist_n &_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o i_o must_v incur_v displeasure_n of_o the_o one_o and_o purchase_v a_o enemy_n of_o the_o other_o if_o i_o discharge_v my_o duty_n likewise_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o beginning_n shall_v be_v good_a when_o i_o shall_v desire_v too_o do_v well_o and_o that_o i_o shall_v only_o look_v unto_o god_n but_o everanon_fw-la it_o will_v befall_v unto_o we_o that_o in_o our_o good_a zeal_n we_o shall_v be_v too_o excessive_a &_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v carnal_a passion_n in_o we_o to_o be_v short_a they_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o best_a guide_v and_o who_o have_v great_a perfection_n it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o they_o shall_v yet_o pass_v measure_n in_o this_o place_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v show_v themselves_o man_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o suspect_v our_o passion_n and_o albeit_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n be_v not_o good_a yet_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o fall_v therein_o again_o we_o also_o have_v a_o good_a warning_n to_o leave_v all_o contradiction_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n exhort_v we_o so_o often_o unto_o this_o union_n to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o of_o one_o mouth_n and_o why_o so_o for_o when_o we_o agree_v in_o such_o sort_n each_o one_o stir_v up_o his_o neighbour_n &_o help_v to_o bring_v he_o unto_o god_n but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o be_v quarrel_v in_o contention_n and_o strife_n not_o only_o one_o let_v and_o hinder_v another_o as_o it_o be_v common_o say_v there_o needs_o but_o one_o restife_n horse_n to_o hinder_v the_o whole_a team_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o worse_a matter_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o strive_v for_o the_o service_n of_o god_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o forget_v ourselves_o in_o some_o respect_n and_o many_o thing_n escape_v we_o the_o which_o we_o will_v not_o let_v slip_n if_o we_o be_v out_o of_o strife_n &_o contention_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o matter_n we_o have_v to_o learn_v and_o these_o example_n be_v daily_o see_v amongst_o we_o in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o best_a servant_n of_o god_n &_o they_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o most_o excellent_a grace_n yea_o &_o who_o strive_v for_o the_o truth_n yet_o nevertheless_o can_v always_o so_o bridle_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v not_o quarrel_v &_o show_v themselves_o man_n and_o yet_o god_n allow_v their_o zeal_n and_o that_o which_o they_o do_v and_o why_o so_o for_o because_o they_o have_v a_o good_a beginning_n and_o they_o have_v a_o right_a end_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v always_o infirmity_n mingle_v therewith_o let_v we_o therefore_o say_v i_o always_o mark_v this_o in_o this_o example_n of_o isaac_n and_o rebecca_n again_o we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o if_o some_o time_n we_o shall_v not_o agree_v so_o as_o we_o ought_v &_o as_z be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a &_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o bend_v &_o enforce_v ourselves_o that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v make_v no_o divorce_n betwixt_o ourselves_o neither_o be_v quite_o separate_v asunder_o for_o although_o this_o be_v a_o notable_a vice_n that_o isaac_n &_o rebecca_n be_v thus_o divide_v in_o the_o love_n which_o they_o bear_v unto_o their_o child_n yet_o they_o continue_v to_o serve_v god_n &_o isaac_n do_v never_o pretend_v to_o abolish_v this_o oracle_n that_o be_v to_o say_v this_o same_o answer_n

further_o &_o that_o which_o be_v here_o give_v we_o let_v we_o apply_v for_o our_o help_n too_o make_v we_o run_v on_o the_o more_o swift_o but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o hinder_v we_o yea_o though_o it_o be_v our_o very_a eye_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v that_o our_o eye_n may_v rather_o be_v pluck_v out_o 5._o and_o we_o rather_o desire_v too_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n blind_a then_o have_v all_o our_o sense_n sound_o to_o go_v into_o everlasting_a destruction_n so_o then_o to_o conclude_v let_v we_o rather_o love_v hunger_n &_o thirst_n then_o to_o cram_v and_o stuff_n our_o belly_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n not_o to_o regard_v everlasting_a life_n for_o we_o must_v not_o be_v so_o snare_v in_o these_o corruptible_a and_o transitory_a thing_n that_o we_o can_v not_o always_o lift_v up_o our_o sense_n and_o affection_n on_o high_a to_o the_o end_n through_o hope_n to_o be_v citizen_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n in_o acknowledge_v our_o offence_n pray_v he_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o in_o such_o sort_n to_o make_v

we_o must_v endure_v many_o poverty_n and_o misery_n in_o this_o world_n howsoever_o it_o be_v that_o this_o do_v not_o turn_v we_o to_o wickedness_n and_o make_v we_o to_o decline_v from_o the_o

with_o a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a courage_n until_o we_o be_v receive_v into_o this_o bless_a inheritance_n where_o we_o shall_v not_o lack_v any_o thing_n what_o soever_o it_o be_v but_o there_o

great_a famine_n in_o that_o land_n far_o great_a than_o that_o first_o famine_n that_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o abraham_n wherefore_o isaac_n go_v unto_o abimelech_n the_o king_n of_o the_o

thy_o seed_n all_o these_o country_n and_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v repute_v themselves_o bless_v in_o thy_o seed_n 5_o because_o that_o abraham_n obey_v my_o voice_n and_o observe_v my_o ordinance_n my_o commandment_n my_o statute_n and_o my_o law_n we_o see_v yesterday_o how_o jacob_n forsake_v his_o meat_n for_o that_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o god_o have_v promise_v unto_o he_o and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v more_o care_n of_o his_o soul_n than_o of_o his_o body_n here_o we_o have_v a_o example_n though_o not_o altogether_o like_a in_o isaac_n his_o father_n yet_o come_v very_o near_o it_o for_o we_o see_v how_o isaac_n have_v more_o regard_n to_o the_o spiritual_a inheritance_n than_o to_o all_o that_o concern_v this_o brittle_a and_o transitory_a life_n he_o be_v oppress_v with_o famine_n &_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o ease_n to_o go_v into_o egypt_n but_o when_o he_o be_v let_v by_o a_o

then_o that_o isaac_n leave_v not_o only_o a_o mess_n of_o pottage_n but_o he_o see_v that_o he_o can_v endure_v much_o woe_n for_o a_o year_n space_n notwithstanding_o he_o withhold_v himself_o and_o

for_o it_o be_v impossible_a when_o there_o be_v any_o famine_n but_o that_o the_o neighbour_n and_o near_a place_n must_v also_o feel_v it_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v that_o then_o there_o be_v no_o dearth_n in_o egypt_n so_o that_o isaac_n here_o show_v we_o that_o although_o temptation_n be_v great_a if_o we_o be_v destitute_a of_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o maintain_v we_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v always_o hold_v we_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o rather_o forget_v all_o our_o case_n and_o prepare_v ourselves_o patient_o to_o suffer_v all_o want_n and_o necessity_n than_o to_o seek_v our_o commodity_n as_o it_o be_v against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o first_o point_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o history_n now_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a famine_n in_o the_o land_n a_o great_a than_o that_o former_a that_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o abraham_n for_o there_o have_v be_v two_o that_o moses_n

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 which_o god_n have_v call_v we_o that_o we_o pass_v through_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o fail_v not_o howsoever_o we_o be_v afflict_v after_o diverse_a &_o sundry_a manner_n mark_v then_o whereto_o moses_n have_v regard_n when_o he_o compare_v these_o two_o famine_n that_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o when_o abraham_n be_v tempt_v it_o be_v not_o only_o for_o his_o own_o cause_n but_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
