chastise_v he_o for_o so_o he_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o 51._o psalm_n that_o not_o only_o for_o that_o gross_a and_o notorious_a sin_n of_o adultery_n and_o murder_n he_o have_v deserve_v god_n vengeance_n but_o general_o he_o accuse_v his_o whole_a life_n of_o sin_n and_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o his_o punishment_n what_o so_o ever_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o lay_v on_o he_o may_v of_o all_o the_o world_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a for_o thus_o he_o cry_v against_o thou_o against_o thou_o o_o lord_n i_o have_v sin_v that_o be_v i_o have_v do_v nothing_o but_o sin_v &_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a in_o thy_o sight_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v justify_v in_o thy_o say_n and_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n when_o thou_o be_v judge_v and_o lest_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o some_o short_a time_n of_o his_o life_n in_o which_o the_o devil_n have_v so_o great_o prevail_v with_o he_o he_o declare_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n that_o it_o be_v even_o from_o his_o nativity_n yea_o from_o his_o conception_n that_o this_o corruption_n have_v remain_v in_o he_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n behold_v say_v he_o i_o be_v bear_v in_o sin_n and_o in_o iniquity_n do_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o whereas_o thou_o love_v truth_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n this_o confession_n of_o david_n therefore_o be_v sufficient_a to_o clear_v the_o lord_n from_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o to_o show_v manifest_o that_o david_n be_v not_o punish_v for_o the_o people_n sin_n as_o a_o innocent_a which_o have_v deserve_v nothing_o in_o his_o own_o person_n nor_o be_v beat_v altogether_o for_o the_o fault_n of_o other_o man_n which_o can_v not_o stand_v with_o god_n righteousness_n except_o in_o that_o case_n where_o our_o saviour_n christ_n willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v punish_v for_o our_o transgression_n but_o here_o the_o israelite_n provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n deserve_v y_o e_o a_o good_a governor_n shall_v decline_v out_o of_o y_z e_z right_a course_n for_o their_o punishment_n and_o david_n himself_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o y_z e_z when_o so_o ever_o the_o lord_n shall_v chastise_v he_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o with_o out_o his_o desert_n so_o y_o t_o every_o way_n it_o stand_v with_o god_n righteousness_n that_o israel_n have_v cause_v his_o wrath_n to_o be_v kind_a lead_v against_o he_o he_o shall_v stir_v up_o david_n who_o he_o have_v give_v to_o they_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a prince_n for_o their_o benefit_n now_o to_o give_v occasion_n of_o their_o punishment_n but_o against_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n of_o god_n two_o kind_a of_o adversary_n do_v rise_v up_o the_o first_o be_v the_o pelagian_n and_o papist_n so_o far_a as_o they_o agree_v with_o the_o pelagian_n the_o second_o be_v the_o atheist_n the_o former_a sort_n reason_n after_o this_o manner_n if_o you_o say_v y_fw-fr t_o god_n move_v david_n to_o number_v y_z e_o people_n which_o be_v sin_n do_v you_o not_o thereby_o make_v god_n y_fw-fr e_o author_n of_o sin_n god_n forbid_v let_v god_n only_o be_v righteous_a and_o all_o man_n sinner_n for_o he_o only_o be_v holy_a he_o only_o be_v pure_a from_o all_o corruption_n and_o there_o be_v no_o unrighteousness_n in_o he_o but_o how_o can_v you_o avoid_v that_o inconvenience_n say_v they_o that_o follow_v of_o this_o assertion_n god_n move_v david_n to_o do_v that_o wherewith_o he_o be_v displease_v therefore_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o sin_n in_o david_n it_o be_v easy_o avoid_v for_o the_o same_o story_n be_v set_v down_o in_o 1._o chro._n 21._o chap._n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n or_o the_o adversary_n stand_v up_o against_o israel_n and_o move_v the_o hart_n of_o david_n to_o number_v y_z e_o people_n by_o conference_n of_o which_o place_n of_o scripture_n with_o this_o my_o text_n we_o may_v see_v how_o god_n move_v david_n to_o number_v the_o people_n and_o yet_o move_v he_o to_o no_o sin_n for_o whereas_o it_o be_v here_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o israel_n and_o move_v david_n against_o they_o for_o we_o can_v not_o apt_o understand_v any_o other_o but_o either_o the_o lord_n or_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o move_v he_o and_o in_o the_o chronicle_n it_o be_v say_v that_o satan_n move_v he_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n concur_v in_o one_o action_n god_n as_o a_o most_o righteous_a judge_n and_o satan_n as_o a_o most_o malicious_a enemy_n by_o which_o shal_v that_n there_o proceed_v nothing_o from_o god_n but_o justice_n and_o that_o the_o sin_n which_o be_v evil_a come_v from_o the_o devil_n so_o that_o the_o lord_n god_n although_o he_o be_v the_o first_o mover_n in_o all_o our_o action_n for_o in_o he_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v yet_o he_o be_v not_o author_n or_o cause_n of_o any_o evil_n in_o us._n nevertheless_o he_o use_v satan_n to_o punish_v we_o who_o although_o he_o be_v a_o malicious_a enemy_n yet_o be_v he_o a_o minister_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n although_o against_o his_o will_n and_o even_o then_o when_o he_o oppose_v himself_o against_o god_n for_o satan_n be_v not_o suffer_v to_o reign_v and_o rage_n at_o his_o pleasure_n against_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n for_o than_o he_o will_v in_o one_o moment_n overthrow_v the_o whole_a church_n of_o christ_n but_o keep_v in_o chain_n of_o darkness_n so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o stir_v but_o where_o and_o when_o it_o please_v god_n in_o justice_n to_o use_v his_o ministry_n and_o service_n therefore_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n satan_n also_o stand_v up_o against_o israel_n as_o a_o minister_n of_o god_n wrath_n by_o necessity_n of_o god_n ordinance_n though_o a_o cruel_a adversary_n by_o his_o own_o will_n and_o malicious_a affection_n so_o that_o neither_o by_o colour_n of_o this_o text_n nor_o of_o any_o ooth_a in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n the_o lord_n can_v be_v charge_v as_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o same_o evil_n which_o he_o punish_v either_o in_o the_o elect_a or_o in_o the_o reprobate_n for_o what_o so_o ever_o proceed_v from_o he_o as_o it_o proceed_v from_o he_o be_v good_a and_o to_o a_o good_a end_n who_o use_v well_o even_o satan_n the_o adversary_n of_o all_o goddess_n and_o his_o member_n the_o reprobate_a and_o so_o order_v bridle_v and_o govern_v their_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n that_o even_o their_o evil_n he_o turn_v to_o good_a &_o out_o of_o their_o wickedness_n as_o it_o be_v light_v out_o of_o darkness_n bring_v his_o glory_n so_o he_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n yet_o be_v he_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o pharaos_n sin_n but_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o pharaoh_n himself_o who_o of_o his_o own_o corruption_n do_v set_v himself_o against_o god_n and_o of_o satan_n who_o rule_v in_o the_o reprobate_n and_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o rebellion_n and_o obstinate_a resist_v of_o god_n commandment_n thus_o be_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n harden_v by_o god_n as_o by_o a_o righteous_a judge_n by_o satan_n as_o by_o a_o malicious_a enemy_n against_o god_n &_o mankind_n by_o pharaoh_n himself_o as_o by_o a_o man_n who_o be_v clean_o void_a of_o god_n spirit_n by_o corruption_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v incline_v to_o nothing_o but_o to_o contempt_n and_o disobedience_n of_o god_n and_o y_z e_z whole_a matter_n so_o order_v in_o all_o point_n by_o the_o divine_a providence_n that_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n may_v be_v set_v forth_o in_o pharaos_n destruction_n even_o as_o y_z e_z lord_n say_v unto_o he_o even_o for_o this_o

which_o make_v a_o hypocrite_n to_o reign_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o people_n and_o give_v a_o king_n in_o his_o fury_n who_o he_o take_v away_o again_o in_o his_o indignation_n as_o you_o
