in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o of_o all_o worldly_a affair_n to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o y_o t_z in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n make_v other_o to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o

that_o they_o do_v a_o hundred_o fold_n more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o what_o come_v of_o such_o pride_n but_o overthrow_n and_o confusion_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o therefore_o that_o we_o

to_o wit_n to_o convey_v the_o people_n over_o jordan_n and_o to_o conquer_v all_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n but_o first_o of_o all_o he_o set_v before_o he_o the_o victory_n that_o the_o people_n

that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o they_o to_o be_v meeken_v and_o to_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o their_o pride_n and_o loftiness_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o have_v

of_o necessity_n we_o must_v not_o step_v to_o he_o with_o such_o lustiness_n as_o though_o he_o owe_v we_o any_o thing_n but_o after_o as_o we_o have_v feel_v the_o experience_n of_o his_o goodness_n

it_o be_v not_o only_a moses_n that_o have_v use_v this_o manner_n of_o pray_v we_o see_v it_o be_v common_a among_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n how_o often_o see_v we_o it_o use_v in_o the_o

whereby_o he_o utter_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o as_o be_v say_v already_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o moses_n do_v in_o this_o place_n attribute_v the_o title_n of_o faithful_a

it_o seem_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v they_o hate_v he_o to_o his_o face_n he_o mean_v to_o say_v that_o we_o spite_n god_n or_o hate_n god_n to_o his_o face_n when_o we_o fall_v out_o into_o

no_o force_n of_o we_o to_o marry_v against_o our_o will_n but_o of_o the_o win_n of_o wife_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o church_n we_o may_v always_o

that_o he_o delight_v not_o to_o vex_v we_o with_o multitude_n of_o evil_n but_o that_o he_o mean_v rather_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o goodness_n in_o all_o respect_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v

may_v be_v bless_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n oftentimes_o afflict_v his_o people_n for_o other_o cause_n than_o their_o sin_n as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v to_o job_n which_o be_v a_o notable_a mirror_n for_o us._n we_o see_v the_o like_a in_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n who_o although_o they_o do_v endeavour_n and_o travail_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v they_o in_o as_o great_a trouble_n and_o grief_n as_o can_v be_v the_o same_o be_v yet_o more_o manifest_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o see_v that_o god_n have_v reveil_v more_o full_o what_o be_v the_o perfect_a happiness_n of_o man_n it_o behoove_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v exercise_v under_o many_o adversity_n in_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a he_o do_v it_o to_o preserve_v they_o as_o the_o physician_n that_o wait_v not_o always_o till_o the_o sickness_n do_v appear_v but_o if_o

use_v chastisement_n towards_o they_o as_o preservative_n medicine_n it_o may_v every_o day_n fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o offend_v against_o god_n in_o some_o particular_a sin_n but_o what_o if_o he_o be_v always_o in_o prosperity_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o god_n therefore_o do_v cure_v such_o disease_n by_o withdraw_a his_o blessing_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o fat_a to_o blind_v man_n eye_n or_o to_o hinder_v our_o come_n unto_o he_o lest_o it_o shall_v stay_v we_o too_o long_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o our_o delight_n as_o to_o fall_v altogether_o on_o sleep_n in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n forbear_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o always_o just_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o list_v let_v the_o perfect_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n be_v choose_v out_o and_o yet_o if_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o they_o by_o rigour_n he_o shall_v lay_v many_o hard_a knock_n upon_o their_o pate_n but_o true_o we_o think_v it_o not_o so_o for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o sharp_a sight_v as_o to_o know_v the_o fault_n which_o god_n do_v mark_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n utter_v his_o patience_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o he_o spare_v man_n and_o punish_v they_o not_o i_o mean_v the_o most_o righteous_a that_o can_v be_v find_v as_o for_o example_n when_o david_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v of_o saul_n and_o of_o all_o his_o enemy_n when_o abraham_n be_v stinge_v and_o

and_o final_o when_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cruel_o deal_v with_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n no_o very_o but_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v call_v they_o

as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v job_n a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o frailty_n but_o howsoevet_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n to_o make_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o we_o all_o we_o perceive_v then_o that_o god_n have_v other_o meaning_n in_o afflict_v his_o people_n than_o only_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o uphold_v they_o even_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n resort_v back_o to_o this_o

choose_v of_o the_o excellent_a man_n in_o the_o world_n needs_o must_v it_o be_v they_o that_o god_n aid_v he_o now_o whereas_o in_o so_o old_a age_n man_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v droop_v and_o half_a

such_o rigour_n for_o he_o reserve_v moses_n and_o give_v he_o wherewith_o to_o go_v through_o with_o his_o charge_n continual_o to_o be_v short_a in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o if_o

of_o unthankfulness_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v thirty_o day_n for_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n to_o make_v such_o sorrow_n for_o the_o dead_a but_o forasmuch_o as_o moses_n be_v a_o father_n to_o all_o the_o whole_a people_n it_o be_v very_o requisite_a that_o not_o some_o one_o house_n or_o kindred_n but_o that_o all_o those_o which_o have_v be_v govern_v by_o he_o shall_v weep_v for_o he_o every_o man_n be_v to_o be_v mourn_v for_o in_o his_o own_o house_n by_o his_o kinsfolfe_n and_o near_a friend_n but_o there_o be_v another_o special_a reason_n in_o moses_n because_o god_n have_v give_v he_o to_o all_o the_o people_n and_o he_o have_v guide_v they_o with_o a_o fatherly_a care_n as_o we_o know_v the_o people_n therefore_o do_v witness_v open_o how_o much_o they_o be_v bind_v and_o behold_v unto_o moses_n and_o all_o of_o they_o show_v themselves_o as_o his_o child_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o make_v such_o lamentation_n for_o a_o man_n that_o be_v depart_v for_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o incounter_v of_o god_n will_n we_o know_v that_o the_o life_n

must_v not_o sorrow_n for_o our_o death_n for_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o strive_v against_o god_n but_o we_o must_v ever_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n of_o our_o sorrow_n when_o we_o mourn_v for_o the_o decease_n of_o man_n and_o again_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o measure_n thereof_o those_o two_o thing_n then_o must_v we_o observe_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o our_o sorrow_n may_v be_v

of_o the_o estraung_a of_o we_o from_o the_o fountain_n and_o wellspring_n of_o life_n god_n then_o give_v we_o good_a occasion_n to_o weep_v when_o any_o man_n die_v but_o that_o must_v be_v do_v

which_o have_v do_v service_n to_o the_o build_n up_o of_o the_o church_n and_o which_o can_v have_v continue_v in_o do_v the_o same_o still_o that_o be_v a_o wel-ordered_n mourning_n but_o yet_o must_v we_o also_o come_v to_o the_o measure_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v mourn_v for_o just_a cause_n and_o yet_o if_o he_o give_v his_o sorrow_n too_o much_o scope_n then_o be_v

call_v we_o to_o y_z e_z hope_v of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v renew_v so_o then_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n humble_v we_o by_o death_n and_o that_o we_o must_v

to_o comfort_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o heaviness_n at_o leastwise_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v our_o sorrow_n that_o it_o pass_v not_o the_o bound_n and_o so_o

when_o we_o perceive_v any_o sign_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o when_o we_o have_v acknowledge_v our_o sin_n and_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o they_o at_o his_o hand_n we_o must_v also_o wait_v his_o
