he_o say_v unto_o moses_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o have_v mercy_n and_o i_o will_v have_v compassion_n on_o who_o i_o have_v compassion_n s._n paul_n geve_v a_o reason_n wherefore_o no_o man_n can_v possible_o lay_v any_o unjustice_n to_o god_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o god_n justice_n stand_v altogether_o in_o his_o mercy_n for_o that_o often_o repetition_n of_o god_n mercy_n signify_v his_o great_a constancy_n in_o geave_v mercy_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n quit_v his_o justice_n of_o all_o slaunden_a as_o though_o our_o lord_n himself_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o by_o nature_n so_o merciful_a that_o i_o pleasure_n in_o no_o thing_n more_o then_o in_o pardon_v of_o syn_n and_o in_o keep_v a_o most_o constant_a and_o everlasting_a mercy_n to_o maintain_v they_o who_o i_o have_v receive_v into_o my_o protection_n it_o may_v therefore_o be_v see_v very_o well_o when_o i_o do_v punish_v sin_v ▪_o that_o such_o as_o be_v condemn_v do_v perish_v through_o their_o own_o default_n for_o if_o they_o will_v come_v to_o good_a order_n they_o may_v obtain_v the_o like_a mercy_n and_o be_v save_v but_o forsomuch_o as_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n they_o esteem_v more_o darkness_n than_o light_n bondage_n then_o freedom_n ▪_o poverty_n then_z riches_n death_n then_o life_n it_o be_v just_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v throw_v down_o headlong_o into_o bitter_a pain_n and_o torment_n and_o so_o by_o this_o place_n which_o s._n paul_n allege_v after_o a_o hevenli_a sort_n of_o the_o assure_a nes_z of_o god_n mercy_n we_o see_v his_o justice_n utter_o discharge_v of_o all_o slander_n wherefore_o in_o the_o calamity_n of_o the_o jew_n no_o man_n can_v find_v any_o lack_n of_o truth_n in_o god_n but_o he_o may_v well_o blame_v the_o unfaithfulnes_n and_o wicked_a stubbornness_n of_o they_o that_o will_v not_o be_v save_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n then_o to_o confirm_v this_o say_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n be_v

my_o desire_n neither_o my_o cherfulnes_n shall_v have_v any_o good_a success_n unless_o he_o of_o his_o mercy_n shall_v bring_v both_o my_o will_n and_o my_o earnest_a endeavour_n to_o perfection_n for_o our_o strength_n be_v appair_v our_o hope_n vanish_v all_o to_o nothing_o so_o often_o as_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o our_o unkindness_n of_o heart_n depart_v from_o us._n when_o i_o therefore_o do_v any_o good_a work_n it_o be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v neither_o to_o man_n will_n as_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o honesty_n neither_o to_o my_o earnest_a endeavour_n but_o only_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v yet_o more_o plain_o that_o the_o jew_n fall_v not_o through_o the_o unjustice_n of_o god_n as_o ungodlie_a man_n report_v but_o through_o their_o own_o unfaithfulnesse_n and_o wilful_a sin_n he_o reherse_v the_o like_a example_n of_o naughtiness_n and_o lack_n of_o belief_n for_o god_n use_v the_o like_a mean_n in_o call_n pharaoh_n

pharaoh_n be_v therefore_o tolerate_v a_o great_a while_n of_o god_n the_o most_o wise_a and_o bountiful_a lord_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o out_o of_o evil_a thing_n draw_v evermore_o some_o good_a and_o bring_v thing_n disorder_v into_o good_a order_n that_o by_o show_v one_o example_n of_o severity_n he_o may_v keep_v a_o great_a many_o man_n in_o well_o do_v and_o this_o may_v appear_v much_o better_a if_o we_o will_v try_v the_o word_n at_o the_o hebrew_n fountain_n for_o this_o sentence_n may_v very_o well_o be_v translate_v after_o this_o sort_n for_o this_o cause_n have_v i_o suffer_v thou_o to_o stand_v that_o i_o may_v sh●we_v my_o power_n to_o theo_fw-la and_o that_o my_o name_n may_v be_v honour_v in_o all_o the_o earth_n he_o say_v not_o i_o have_v take_v away_o thy_o wit_n from_o thou_o and_o i_o have_v cause_v thou_o to_o be_v mad_a that_o thou_o shall_v continual_o rebel_v against_o i_o but_o i_o have_v suffer_v thou_o a_o great_a while_n and_o have_v differ_v thy_o due_a punishment_n that_o i_o may_v reserve_v it_o to_o the_o great_a set_n out_o of_o my_o glory_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o many_o man_n he_o call_v pharaoh_n both_o to_o faith_n and_o also_o to_o honesty_n but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o pharaoh_n regard_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n but_o run_v on_o like_o a_o wild_a colt_n upon_o a_o unbridled_a affection_n it_o stand_v very_o well_o not_o only_o with_o god_n justice_n but_o also_o with_o his_o mercy_n that_o many_o man_n shall_v by_o the_o most_o just_a example_n of_o pharaoh_n be_v put_v in_o fear_n and_o so_o bring_v to_o good_a order_fw-fr for_o as_o the_o governor_n of_o common_a weal_n do_v use_v to_o out_o of_o with_o constant_a severity_n such_o as_o they_o can_v not_o redress_v by_o light_a punishment_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v by_o the_o terror_n of_o that_o punishment_n keep_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o citizen_n in_o order_fw-fr even_a so_o do_v that_o most_o high_a governor_n show_v sometime_o a_o example_n of_o severity_n upon_o they_o that_o will_v not_o be_v reform_v but_o will_v upon_o sin_n wicked_o commit_v heap_n a_o shameless_a defence_n that_o he_o may_v by_o the_o death_n of_o those_o lewd_a person_n benefit_n the_o whole_a and_o that_o he_o may_v in_o punish_v the_o wicked_a show_v many_o point_n of_o his_o high_a mercy_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o that_o we_o see_v that_o word_n so_o often_o repete_v and_o god_n harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n to_o harden_v be_v to_o g●ue_v unto_o wicked_a man_n which_o do_v abuse_v good_a thing_n unto_o malice_n some_o matter_n with_o the_o which_o they_o may_v increase_v their_o sin_v and_o stubbornness_n know_v thou_o not_o say_v s._n paul_n that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n move_v the_o to_o penance_n but_o thou_o according_a to_o thy_o hardness_n and_o unrepentaunt_a hart_n do_v treasure_n up_o to_o thyself_o displeasure_n in_o like_a manner_n therefore_o god_n cause_v not_o that_o hardness_n in_o pharaoh_n but_o pharaoh_n refuse_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o of_o a_o certain_a hardness_n and_o forwardness_n that_o be_v root_v in_o he_o abuse_v the_o clemency_n of_o god_n unto_o great_a sin_v and_o so_o increase_v the_o heap_n of_o god_n wrath_n towards_o he_o every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o now_o mark_v how_o wonderful_o the_o apostle_n link_v together_o his_o argument_n ▪_o first_o of_o all_o he_o declare_v that_o to_o be_v a_o true_a israelite_n come_v not_o of_o man_n nature_n but_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n then_o he_o confirm_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n by_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o grace_n which_o be_v offer_v free_o to_o all_o man_n that_o will_v use_v it_o for_o by_o that_o mercy_n it_o be_v evident_o see_v that_o such_o as_o perish_v perish_v through_o their_o own_o default_n and_o this_o do_v he_o declare_v more_o plain_o by_o the_o example_n of_o pharaoh_n the_o which_o refuse_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o be_v willing_o forlorn_v that_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v by_o this_o that_o the_o jew_n fall_v in_o like_a manner_n through_o their_o own_o wilful_a blindness_n because_o their_o heart_n be_v to_o obstinate_o bend_v and_o har●lened_v in_o wickedness_n and_o that_o their_o damnation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v unto_o god_n which_o call_v they_o to_o salvation_n ▪_o but_o unto_o their_o own_o naughtiness_n
