thing_n whatsoever_o and_o what_o benefit_n can_v you_o bestow_v on_o i_o but_o all_o which_o i_o have_v do_v and_o do_v be_v only_o for_o your_o profit_n and_o for_o your_o welfare_n i_o be_o then_o here_o ready_a to_o covenant_n by_o article_n with_o you_o and_o to_o bind_v myself_o unto_o you_o on_o my_o part_n see_v i_o say_v that_o the_o live_a god_n do_v abase_v himself_o so_o far_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v not_o we_o be_v to_o unthankful_a if_o we_o be_v not_o herewith_o beat_v down_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o under_o he_o lay_v aside_o all_o our_o pride_n and_o haughtiness_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o his_o people_n to_o the_o end_n that_o especial_o his_o favour_n and_o goodness_n shall_v be_v know_v now_o if_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n much_o great_a reason_n thereof_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o make_v a_o covenant_n for_o one_o time_n as_o with_o the_o jew_n but_o when_o he_o send_v this_o only_a some_o than_o declare_v he_o himself_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n much_o more_o full_o than_o before_o he_o have_v do_v and_o that_o after_o so_o sweet_a so_o gracious_a and_o so_o amiable_a a_o manner_n as_o nothing_o more_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o have_v here_o as_o it_o be_v lay_v forth_o his_o bowel_n of_o love_n and_o compassion_n towards_o we_o see_v therefore_o god_n have_v present_v unto_o we_o his_o heart_n in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 15._o and_o we_o hear_v beside_o the_o protestation_n which_o jesus_n christ_n make_v that_o he_o will_v call_v we_o no_o more_o his_o servant_n but_o his_o friend_n because_o he_o have_v so_o familiar_o communicate_v unto_o we_o all_o the_o secret_n of_o his_o will_n must_v it_o not_o i_o beseech_v you_o needs_o be_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v bewitch_v we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o hereby_o move_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o renounce_v even_o ourselves_o and_o all_o our_o affection_n so_o then_o when_o we_o perceive_v in_o ourselves_o any_o wickedness_n whereby_o we_o be_v hinder_v to_o serve_v god_n when_o we_o feel_v ourselves_o idle_o dispose_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n &_o be_v even_o bring_v into_o a_o heavy_a sleep_n by_o the_o care_n of_o this_o world_n to_o stir_v ourselves_o up_o to_o praise_v our_o god_n let_v we_o have_v in_o mind_n this_o covenant_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v with_o we_o now_o hereupon_o moses_n further_o add_v the_o lord_n make_v not_o this_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n but_o with_o we_o even_o with_o we_o which_o be_v alive_a at_o this_o day_n this_o place_n may_v be_v understand_v after_o two_o sort_n for_o it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o a_o comparison_n which_o moses_n make_v the_o better_a to_o declare_v that_o the_o people_n which_o then_o live_v aught_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o diligent_a in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n because_o they_o have_v receive_v great_a benefit_n than_o their_o father_n in_o which_o sense_n he_o speak_v in_o exodus_fw-la 3._o i_o have_v not_o communicate_v this_o name_n to_o your_o father_n where_o god_n speak_v unto_o moses_n say_v that_o he_o declare_v not_o himself_o so_o plain_o to_o be_v god_n to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o moses_n and_o by_o this_o he_o signify_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v now_o more_o attentive_a because_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o unto_o they_o after_o a_o unaccustomed_a manner_n even_o so_o in_o this_o place_n one_o may_v understand_v this_o god_n have_v not_o make_v such_o a_o covenant_n with_o your_o father_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n speak_v unto_o his_o servant_n abraham_n isaac_n &_o jacob_n and_o do_v sufficient_o instruct_v they_o and_o it_o be_v express_o say_v in_o the._n 19_o 18._o of_o gen._n shall_v i_o hide_v from_o my_o servant_n abraham_n that_o which_o i_o will_v now_o execute_v upon_o sodom_n and_o gomorra_n for_o i_o know_v that_o he_o will_v instruct_v his_o household_n in_o my_o decree_n and_o ordinannce_n in_o my_o statute_n and_o judgement_n see_v then_o how_o abraham_n instruct_v his_o family_n not_o after_o some_o bare_a and_o naked_a manner_n but_o in_o the_o judgement_n and_o statute_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n brief_o we_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o abraham_n have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n yet_o lo_o beside_o a_o benefit_n not_o to_o be_v contemn_v when_o god_n have_v send_v this_o law_n in_o the_o two_o table_n to_o the_o end_n the_o instruction_n thereof_o may_v remain_v and_o abide_v for_o ever_o to_o his_o people_n and_o that_o the_o thing_n therein_o contain_v may_v be_v ratify_v for_o ever_o and_o testify_v to_o all_o posterity_n as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o we_o see_v then_o what_o we_o may_v gather_v upon_o this_o sentence_n even_o as_o much_o as_o if_o moses_n shall_v have_v say_v unto_o the_o people_n belove_v acknowledge_v we_o the_o benefit_n the_o lord_n bestow_v on_o we_o this_o day_n even_o such_o a_o one_o as_o our_o father_n have_v receive_v none_o the_o like_a for_o he_o deliver_v not_o unto_o they_o the_o law_n by_o writing_n as_o unto_o we_o he_o have_v not_o declare_v to_o they_o these_o thing_n in_o such_o plain_a order_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o do_v sufficient_o instruct_v they_o &_o as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a &_o requisite_a for_o their_o salvation_n but_o here_o be_v yet_o a_o high_a degree_n &_o further_a step_n to_o which_o we_o be_v come_v at_o this_o day_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o draw_v so_o much_o the_o near_o to_o he_o see_v we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v so_o stoop_v unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n if_o we_o understand_v the_o place_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v at_o this_o day_n that_o god_n have_v not_o do_v so_o to_o our_o father_n as_o he_o have_v do_v unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n 17_o that_o many_o king_n and_o prophet_n have_v desire_v to_o see_v those_o thing_n which_o you_o see_v 24._o &_o hear_v those_o thing_n preach_v which_o you_o hear_v and_o yet_o have_v not_o have_v their_o desire_n see_v then_o it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n &_o goodness_n vouchsafe_v to_o prefer_v we_o before_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n as_o it_o be_v also_o say_v that_o the_o prophet_n serve_v not_o so_o much_o their_o own_o time_n as_o we_o we_o ought_v with_o great_a diligence_n to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v teach_v under_o he_o 12._o &_o to_o apply_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o doctrine_n notwithstanding_o when_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v although_o this_o we_o have_v allege_v be_v profitable_a and_o the_o exhortation_n be_v often_o bring_v in_o holy_a scripture_n yet_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v weigh_v all_o the_o word_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o moses_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o make_v his_o covenant_n with_o they_o which_o hear_v the_o law_n the_o first_o day_n it_o be_v publish_v mean_v to_o say_v that_o not_o only_o with_o they_o he_o make_v his_o covenant_n but_o also_o with_o those_o which_o over_o live_v they_o and_o succeed_v in_o the_o place_n of_o those_o which_o be_v dead_a so_o that_o in_o few_o word_n moses_n will_v here_o declare_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o transitory_a to_o endure_v only_o for_o the_o life_n of_o they_o which_o first_o hear_v it_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n which_o shall_v retain_v his_o strength_n &_o authority_n forever_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n say_v he_o have_v not_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o will_v not_o only_o have_v our_o father_n for_o his_o people_n he_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o they_o so_o that_o his_o law_n shall_v serve_v but_o for_o forty_o or_o fifty_o year_n but_o he_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o we_o as_o well_o and_o with_o they_o which_o be_v not_o bear_v when_o the_o law_n be_v publish_v you_o then_o which_o be_v not_o at_o the_o mount_n of_o horeb_n which_o have_v not_o see_v the_o fire_n on_o the_o mountain_n nor_o hear_v the_o thunder_n know_v you_o not_o withstand_v that_o your_o god_n do_v then_o adopt_v you_o also_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o make_v a_o covenant_n in_o the_o which_o you_o also_o be_v comprise_v you_o must_v therefore_o observe_v his_o law_n because_o it_o have_v be_v establish_v to_o be_v perpetual_a to_o endure_v from_o age_n to_o age_n and_o to_o be_v preach_v even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v
jealous_a god_n visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n even_o to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n of_o they_o that_o hate_v i_o 10_o and_o show_v mercy_n to_o thousand_o of_o they_o that_o love_v i_o &_o keep_v my_o commandment_n because_o man_n be_v so_o far_o incline_v to_o corrupt_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o wicked_a superstition_n it_o behove_v that_o god_n fear_v they_o by_o his_o threat_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v as_o it_o wereforceable_o keep_v back_o when_o otherwise_o they_o will_v carry_v themselves_o headlong_o by_o their_o vanity_n to_o imagine_v of_o god_o clean_o contrary_a to_o all_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a with_o his_o majesty_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o it_o seem_v as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v that_o it_o be_v now_o needless_a to_o forbid_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o make_v any_o image_n after_o they_o have_v know_v the_o live_a god_n but_o because_o of_o our_o curse_a inclination_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o this_o so_o straight_o a_o forbid_v as_o we_o see_v shall_v be_v adjoin_v and_o this_o be_v do_v as_o well_o for_o we_o as_o for_o they_o because_o this_o vice_n be_v as_o it_o be_v settle_v in_o our_o bone_n if_o god_n show_v not_o that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v idolatry_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o wound_v with_o such_o threat_n there_o be_v not_o one_o amongst_o we_o which_o forge_v not_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o idol_n and_o by_o this_o mean_a the_o honour_n due_a to_o the_o live_a god_n be_v transport_v unto_o our_o fantasy_n let_v we_o note_v then_o that_o here_o we_o be_v reprove_v of_o have_v a_o curse_a and_o perverse_a nature_n which_o always_o draw_v we_o to_o superstition_n and_o that_o there_o be_v great_a need_n that_o we_o be_v hold_v back_o after_o some_o violent_a and_o forceable_a manner_n for_o of_o our_o own_o good_a will_v we_o never_o serve_v god_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o we_o imagine_v nothing_o of_o he_o but_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o withal_o we_o may_v note_v to_o what_o purpose_n our_o good_a meaning_n serve_v we_o for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o which_o man_n may_v excuse_v themselves_o with_o this_o that_o they_o think_v they_o do_v well_o it_o be_v when_o they_o forge_v unto_o themselves_o idol_n for_o to_o what_o end_n do_v they_o make_v they_o but_o to_o serve_v god_n to_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o great_a devotion_n and_o to_o have_v a_o more_o strong_a assurance_n that_o god_o will_v hear_v they_o in_o their_o request_n these_o than_o be_v the_o man_n which_o may_v best_o pretend_v this_o colour_n of_o good_a meaning_n but_o yet_o we_o see_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n that_o god_n hereby_o be_v grievous_o anger_v we_o see_v how_o he_o pronounce_v a_o horrible_a sentence_n of_o condemnation_n upon_o all_o they_o which_o leave_v themselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o their_o think_n and_o mean_v they_o will_v say_v still_o and_o the_o thing_n be_v so_o that_o they_o think_v to_o serve_v god_n but_o what_o he_o accept_v no_o such_o service_n but_o rather_o accurse_v it_o and_o that_o by_o good_a right_n for_o as_o we_o have_v above_o show_v his_o maieslie_a be_v disguise_v when_o one_o will_v make_v unto_o he_o a_o visible_a image_n we_o be_v then_o instruct_v in_o this_o place_n to_o do_v nothing_o as_o seem_v we_o especial_o when_o there_o be_v any_o question_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n that_o we_o attempt_v nothing_o after_o our_o own_o fantasy_n but_o that_o we_o follow_v in_o all_o simplicity_n that_o which_o he_o appoint_v by_o his_o word_n without_o add_v of_o any_o thing_n unto_o it_o whatsoever_o for_o assoon_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v decline_v never_o so_o little_a herein_o what_o ever_o we_o allege_v to_o make_v our_o cause_n good_a god_n will_v not_o leave_v we_o unpunished_a for_o this_o be_v no_o vain_a threat_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o controversy_n and_o anger_n which_o visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o parent_n upon_o their_o child_n thus_o you_o see_v then_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o this_o place_n the_o one_o be_v that_o because_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n over_o much_o give_v to_o idolatry_n this_o threaten_a of_o god_n come_v always_o before_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n we_o presume_v not_o to_o mingle_v any_o thing_n with_o his_o word_n or_o to_o devise_v any_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n but_o that_o we_o serve_v he_o pure_o according_a to_o his_o nature_n and_o not_o according_a to_o our_o fantasy_n and_o let_v this_o be_v for_o one_o note_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o know_v we_o must_v not_o pretend_v our_o good_a i_o aninge_n to_o justify_v that_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v invent_v and_o devise_v but_o contrary_a wise_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o principal_a service_n which_o god_n require_v be_v obedience_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o this_o sentence_n god_n say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o be_o thy_o everliving_a thy_o god_n or_o thy_o mighty_a and_o strong_a one_o here_o again_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o all_o idol_n for_o we_o have_v already_o see_v that_o to_o redress_v the_o superstition_n of_o the_o israelite_n he_o declare_v himself_o in_o his_o majesty_n now_o this_o be_v to_o take_v all_o excuse_n from_o man_n when_o god_o once_o manifest_v himself_o unto_o they_o when_o we_o know_v not_o which_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n neither_o can_v discern_v who_o be_v the_o true_a god_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o all_o our_o sense_n wander_v and_o we_o run_v hither_o and_o thither_o without_o any_o right_n direct_v of_o our_o way_n as_o poor_a night-wanderer_n but_o when_o god_n have_v once_o declare_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o know_v his_o truth_n then_o be_v there_o great_a reason_n that_o all_o our_o dream_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o that_o we_o abide_v steadfast_a in_o that_o whereof_o we_o have_v knowledge_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n repeat_v this_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v declare_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n and_o have_v choose_v they_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o will_v govern_v they_o even_o by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v now_o publish_v and_o of_o purpose_n name_v he_o himself_o a_o jealous_a god_n &_o wrathful_a for_o this_o word_n import_v both_o these_o thing_n and_o again_o although_o he_o be_v call_v here_o god_n notwithstanding_o the_o word_n he_o here_o use_v be_v derive_v from_o a_o word_n which_o signify_v strength_n &_o fear_n now_o when_o he_o name_v himself_o jealous_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o mean_v thereby_o to_o signify_v that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v that_o his_o honour_n be_v violate_v or_o that_o he_o be_v rob_v of_o that_o which_o proper_o belong_v unto_o he_o to_o have_v it_o give_v to_o creature_n that_o he_o can_v not_o patient_o endure_v any_o such_o treachery_n therefore_o when_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o price_v on_o our_o part_n as_o it_o deserve_v let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o neglect_v it_o for_o we_o shall_v feel_v in_o the_o end_n that_o he_o forget_v not_o himself_o but_o will_v maintain_v his_o glory_n as_o he_o declare_v throughout_o all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n very_o if_o we_o have_v but_o one_o drop_n of_o true_a understanding_n we_o will_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o god_n so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v stir_v up_o hereunto_o we_o will_v of_o ourselves_o endeavour_n to_o accomplish_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o psalm_n 9_o that_o be_v that_o his_o zeal_n shall_v devour_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v burn_v within_o ourselves_o when_o we_o see_v his_o majesty_n reproachful_o abuse_v it_o will_v be_v i_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v then_o feel_v within_o we_o a_o burn_a and_o consume_a fire_n but_o what_o we_o be_v curious_a to_o maintain_v our_o own_o honour_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o will_v suffer_v that_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v trample_v under_o foot_n that_o man_n make_v their_o sport_n and_o game_n of_o it_o that_o man_n have_v it_o in_o derision_n and_o mockery_n or_o at_o least_o that_o man_n mangle_v and_o tear_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v whole_o set_v on_o idolatry_n when_o all_o of_o we_o shall_v neglect_v our_o duty_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o our_o lord_n after_o he_o have_v reprove_v our_o looseness_n and_o unthankfulness_n in_o this_o point_n show_v that_o although_o we_o have_v be_v careless_a herein_o he_o will_v yet_o have_v such_o a_o zeal_n as_o behove_v he_o to_o maintain_v his_o honour_n and_o

to_o do_v so_o then_o of_o good_a right_n shall_v he_o reprove_v we_o at_o this_o day_n as_o be_v altogether_o inexcusable_a if_o we_o do_v not_o fear_v and_o love_v he_o for_o he_o show_v himself_o

beside_o cost_v we_o nothing_o to_o aspire_v and_o to_o come_v to_o our_o god_n and_o that_o we_o need_v but_o to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v learn_v before_o at_o good_a

of_o god_n and_o to_o have_v this_o day_n whole_o consecrate_v unto_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v draw_v altogether_o from_o the_o world_n and_o that_o this_o may_v serve_v we_o the_o better_a for_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o time_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o withal_o we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o alone_o think_v on_o god_n and_o call_v to_o mind_v his_o work_v on_o the_o sunday_n but_o we_o must_v meet_v together_o one_o certain_a day_n to_o make_v public_a confession_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v every_o day_n as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o because_o of_o the_o rawness_n and_o sloth_n of_o man_n it_o be_v behooveful_a to_o have_v one_o special_a day_n which_o may_v whole_o be_v dedicate_v and_o appoint_v to_o this_o use_n i_o confess_v well_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o indeed_o we_o observe_v not_o the_o day_n which_o be_v command_v the_o jew_n for_o this_o be_v the_o saturday_n but_o to_o show_v the_o liberty_n of_o christian_n the_o day_n have_v be_v change_v to_o the_o sunday_n forasmuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o

and_o liberty_n of_o christian_n but_o that_o the_o whole_a people_n may_v be_v assemble_v it_o be_v convenient_a that_o one_o certain_a day_n be_v ordain_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n together_o in_o common_a to_o have_v the_o invocation_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o to_o show_v a_o unity_n and_o concord_n in_o faith_n and_o religion_n it_o suffice_v not_o then_o that_o every_o one_o withdraw_v himself_o into_o his_o own_o house_n either_o to_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n but_o it_o behove_v we_o come_v into_o the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o there_o declare_v the_o concord_n and_o agreement_n we_o have_v with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o celebrate_v in_o such_o wise_a this_o order_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v

come_v to_o defile_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o deserve_v rather_o to_o be_v in_o stable_n and_o better_o it_o be_v they_o hold_v themselves_o in_o their_o stink_a den_n to_o speak_v brief_o it_o be_v better_a that_o such_o knave_n be_v altogegether_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n of_o god_n than_o to_o show_v themselves_o in_o the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a but_o yet_o how_o many_o time_n come_v they_o among_o they_o the_o bell_n shall_v ring_v long_o enough_o before_o a_o man_n may_v espy_v they_o in_o any_o place_n so_o then_o we_o ought_v with_o more_o diligence_n to_o take_v

we_o must_v abolish_v all_o superstition_n for_o we_o see_v how_o among_o papist_n man_n think_v to_o serve_v god_n by_o sloth_n and_o idleness_n this_o be_v not_o the_o manner_n after_o which_o we_o

that_o they_o also_o aswell_o observe_v the_o rest_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v of_o god_o and_o this_o sign_n can_v not_o appertain_v unto_o they_o as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v it_o

of_o the_o covenant_n to_o they_o which_o have_v neither_o the_o law_n nor_o the_o promise_n but_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o this_o which_o god_n speak_v here_o of_o stranger_n extend_v itself_o

for_o this_o liberty_n to_o violate_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n utter_o neglect_v the_o observation_n thereof_o so_o then_o to_o the_o end_n all_o such_o occasion_n of_o transgress_v against_o this_o

that_o man_n may_v hear_v and_o see_v they_o but_o it_o be_v to_o evident_a that_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o punish_v the_o blasphemy_n of_o they_o as_o they_o deserve_v which_o be_v not_o of_o

he_o will_v publish_v his_o fame_n for_o it_o behove_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v touch_v with_o some_o great_a fear_n to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o talk_n of_o sport_v ourselves_o with_o god_n

this_o be_v to_o repress_v and_o keep_v down_o the_o curiosity_n of_o man_n it_o be_v true_a as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v that_o god_o speak_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o he_o use_v no_o

be_v assure_v what_o the_o god_n be_v who_o we_o serve_v and_o worship_n now_o see_v god_n must_v be_v know_v of_o we_o to_o be_v right_o serve_v and_o worship_v let_v we_o consider_v whence_o this_o

for_o every_o one_o to_o think_v what_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o he_o to_o say_v i_o have_v know_v god_n no_o no_o but_o god_o must_v declare_v and_o show_v himself_o he_o must_v approach_v and_o

thy_o god_n for_o this_o people_n have_v receive_v the_o law_n and_o again_o the_o covenant_n have_v be_v make_v with_o their_o father_n god_o have_v separate_v this_o flock_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o

his_o father_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o we_o may_v well_o agree_v unto_o that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o first_o of_o saint_n john_n none_o have_v see_v god_o at_o any_o time_n 18._o but_o the_o son_n which_o have_v always_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n have_v reveal_v he_o unto_o we_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v have_v a_o knowledge_n as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o

god_n show_v himself_o most_o familiar_a unto_o we_o and_o lo_o why_o the_o prophet_n esaie_n 9_o when_o he_o entreat_v of_o the_o redemption_n which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v in_o the_o person_n of_o

that_o the_o prophet_n esaie_n say_v behold_v he_o behold_v he_o say_v our_o god_n this_o be_v he_o this_o be_v he_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n this_o be_v because_o god_n reveal_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o great_a perfection_n there_o remain_v therefore_o less_o excuse_n for_o we_o if_o we_o at_o this_o day_n wander_v and_o hold_v not_o ourselves_o
