our_o life_n according_a to_o his_o word_n wait_v for_o such_o bessing_n as_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o give_v us._n and_o let_v such_o as_o have_v good_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o forgo_v

special_o when_o we_o have_v his_o promise_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o heretofore_o which_o put_v difference_n between_o the_o true_a

that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n shall_v be_v good_a and_o when_o they_o once_o have_v his_o promise_n then_o go_v they_o forward_o without_o attempt_v any_o

to_o themselves_o without_o inquire_v of_o god_n will_n and_o thereupon_o they_o stick_v at_o nothing_o in_o so_o do_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o presumptuousnesse_n to_o overthrow_v themselves_o but_o the_o true_a foundation_n be_v to_o have_v god_n promise_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o the_o same_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v us._n and_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o take_v the_o contrary_a way_n to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o for_o where_o as_o now_o we_o be_v fearful_a in_o the_o good_a quarrel_n that_o god_n allow_v and_o wherein_o we_o ought_v to_o hazard_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o invincible_a constancy_n and_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o duty_n to_o say_v behold_v my_o god_n

that_o god_n be_v my_o warrant_n see_v he_o have_v appoint_v i_o to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o stick_v at_o it_o beside_o this_o we_o have_v also_o a_o promise_n god_n never_o say_v to_o we_o do_v this_o but_o he_o tell_v we_o also_o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o us._n now_o then_o see_v we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v we_o even_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o of_o all_o they_o that_o be_v in_o a_o chafe_n against_o we_o what_o need_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v well_o and_o if_o we_o be_v afraid_a do_v we_o not_o wrong_v unto_o god_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o of_o power_n to_o defend_v we_o so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o how_o bold_a and_o hardy_a we_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o maintain_v of_o good_a quarrel_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v we_o special_o when_o we_o be_v to_o encounter_v against_o satan_n and_o against_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o practise_v as_o well_o against_o ourselves_o as_o against_o the_o whole_a church_n therefore_o if_o we_o play_v the_o dastard_a and_o shrink_v away_o when_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o such_o encounter_n as_o we_o see_v most_o man_n do_v who_o seek_v startinghole_n and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o bear_v any_o burden_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o too_o shameful_a treachery_n yes_o for_o we_o can_v step_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o our_o unbelief_n betray_v itself_o what_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v so_o cold_a in_o perform_v our_o duty_n it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o believe_v not_o god_n for_o be_v we_o thorough_o persuade_v that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v in_o wait_v for_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o will_v make_v we_o to_o forget_v all_o fear_n and_o all_o the_o goodly_a shift_n that_o we_o devise_v to_o turn_v the_o cat_n in_o the_o pan_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o glorify_v our_o god_n in_o yield_v to_o he_o the_o title_n of_o foothfastnesse_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v hardy_a enough_o not_o to_o follow_v our_o own_o fancy_n but_o to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o holy_a presumptuousnesse_n if_o we_o hold_v we_o to_o this_o line_n and_o rule_v of_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o of_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v perform_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v say_v or_o utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o lesson_n be_v to_o be_v put_v in_o practice_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v heerewithall_o how_o god_n add_v here_o that_o he_o will_v strike_v such_o a_o fear_n and_o terror_n into_o these_o people_n heart_n as_o they_o shall_v be_v dismay_v when_o they_o do_v but_o hear_v of_o the_o fame_n of_o the_o jew_n here_o we_o see_v that_o god_n hold_v man_n heart_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o weaken_v they_o or_o strengthen_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n imagine_v themselves_o to_o have_v this_o virtue_n of_o manliness_n in_o themselves_o and_o the_o very_a cause_n why_o they_o despise_v god_n be_v that_o every_o of_o they_o make_v his_o account_n to_o compass_v his_o matter_n by_o his_o own_o power_n but_o so_o far_o off_o be_v the_o common_a people_n from_o have_v any_o stoutness_n or_o manhood_n in_o they_o without_o that_o god_n give_v it_o they_o that_o god_n hold_v even_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n in_o his_o hand_n 21.1_o prou._n 21.1_o and_o although_o they_o seem_v to_o themselves_o to_o have_v much_o more_o strength_n and_o courage_n than_o other_o yet_o do_v god_n make_v they_o to_o slip_v away_o like_a water_n when_o he_o think_v good_a so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o man_n power_n to_o be_v valiant_a unless_o god_n strengthen_v he_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o double_a use_n the_o one_o be_v that_o although_o a_o man_n see_v himself_o to_o be_v weak_a he_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n for_o it_o for_o there_o be_v a_o remedy_n ready_a for_o it_o if_o we_o listen_v to_o seek_v it_o i_o say_v we_o must_v gather_v strength_n of_o mind_n by_o seek_v it_o in_o god_n yea_o even_o whensoever_o we_o be_v hinder_v to_o do_v our_o duty_n for_o want_v of_o courage_n as_o for_o example_n god_n perchance_o call_v we_o to_o glorify_v his_o name_n he_o shole_v we_o out_o from_o this_o world_n according_o as_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v renounce_v himself_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v forsake_v our_o own_o lust_n now_o we_o see_v how_o possible_a it_o be_v to_o obey_v yea_o and_o we_o know_v how_o far_o all_o our_o ability_n stretch_v again_o we_o see_v also_o a_o great_a number_n of_o hazard_n and_o the_o devil_n will_v face_v we_o with_o this_o

his_o commandment_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o be_v too_o fainthearted_a now_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o stick_v still_o in_o this_o mire_n but_o we_o must_v seek_v for_o strength_n where_o we_o can_v find_v it_o let_v we_o consider_v say_v
withstand_v their_o enemy_n but_o now_o for_o asmuch_o as_o nothing_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o they_o thereby_o it_o appear_v that_o their_o obtain_n of_o the_o victory_n be_v not_o by_o

yeede_z not_o god_n his_o due_a praise_n it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o be_v blear_v when_o he_o have_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o when_o he_o have_v succour_v we_o at_o some_o pinch_n we_o

have_v not_o i_o be_v daunt_v and_o strike_v out_o of_o hart_n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o but_o that_o god_n make_v i_o to_o feel_v my_o own_o frailty_n sure_o i_o shall_v be_v never_o

will_v be_v glorify_v for_o the_o same_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o intent_n why_o moses_n speak_v so_o to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v acknowledge_v that_o their_o overcome_v of_o their_o enemy_n be_v not_o by_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o man_n but_o by_o god_n fight_v for_o they_o nevertheless_o this_o aught_o to_o have_v move_v they_o not_o only_o to_o honour_n god_n but_o also_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v before_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o have_v conquer_v the_o land_n of_o

to_o proceed_v with_o full_a purpose_n to_o encounter_v their_o enemy_n again_o and_o whence_o may_v they_o have_v such_o hardiness_n if_o they_o have_v take_v it_o in_o themselves_o it_o have_v be_v but_o a_o rage_n that_o god_n will_v have_v condemn_v but_o they_o must_v have_v embolden_v themselves_o with_o trust_n that_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v they_o and_o how_o may_v they_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o by_o their_o own_o experience_n which_o they_o have_v have_v thereof_o why_o be_v it_o that_o god_n overthrewe_v as_o well_o sehon_n as_o og_n king_n of_o basan_n because_o he_o be_v the_o

the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o the_o people_n may_v conclude_v that_o the_o victory_n which_o they_o have_v obtain_v already_o be_v but_o a_o entrance_n

if_o we_o perceive_v any_o change_n in_o ourselves_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o sometime_o yea_o oftentimes_o the_o faithful_a shall_v find_v themselves_o

shall_v walk_v in_o awe_n and_o fear_n of_o he_o call_v upon_o he_o and_o utter_o distrust_v their_o own_o strength_n again_o when_o they_o see_v themselves_o strengthen_v they_o know_v that_o that_o

upon_o the_o same_o true_a it_o be_v out_o they_o that_o we_o be_v wretched_a and_o silly_a creature_n but_o yet_o have_v our_o god_n help_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o

conclude_v thereupon_o that_o their_o possess_n of_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n of_o they_o as_o though_o god_n have_v be_v behold_v to_o they_o for_o some_o service_n but_o because_o he_o have_v make_v they_o heir_n of_o it_o through_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n now_o if_o this_o be_v verify_v of_o the_o earthly_a heritage_n which_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v we_o able_a to_o compass_v it_o can_v we_o deserve_v at_o god_n hand_n to_o be_v partaker_n thereof_o no_o but_o contrariwise_o it_o be_v of_o his_o mere_a goodness_n that_o we_o be_v bring_v in_o thither_o and_o shall_v have_v fruition_n of_o it_o at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o sure_o all_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o land_n of_o

to_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v long_o ago_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o whereas_o he_o be_v our_o father_n whereas_o we_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o in_o this_o world_n and_o

must_v hold_v we_o to_o it_o and_o rest_n whole_o upon_o it_o now_o then_o will_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v never_o fail_v we_o neither_o in_o this_o life_n nor_o after_o we_o be_v go_v hence_o will_v we_o have_v a_o infallible_a hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n let_v we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o promise_n let_v we_o not_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o as_o a_o number_n do_v which_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o fond_a curiosity_n but_o let_v it_o suffice_v we_o that_o god_n have_v certify_v and_o teach_v we_o that_o he_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o father_n to_o we_o to_o guide_v we_o in_o this_o world_n but_o also_o that_o he_o will_v never_o leave_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o that_o when_o he_o have_v try_v our_o faith_n

a_o immortality_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o as_o now_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o say_v i_o with_o this_o word_n of_o god_n mouth_n for_o all_o other_o thing_n &_o let_v we_o not_o scan_v after_o our_o own_o foolish_a fancy_n how_o the_o matter_n shall_v go_v but_o have_v god_n once_o speak_v the_o word_n let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o it_o and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o moses_n mean_v here_o in_o say_v god_n swear_v to_o your_o father_n moreover_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n serve_v not_o for_o one_o age_n only_o but_o for_o all_o ever_o and_o keep_v his_o force_n and_o strength_n continual_o abraham_n isaak_n and_o jacob_n be_v dead_a and_o rot_a in_o the_o earth_n when_o these_o thing_n be_v speak_v but_o yet_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v to_o they_o be_v alive_a still_o although_o then_o that_o man_n be_v mortal_a and_o transitory_a yet_o be_v god_n word_n everlasting_a and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o uncorruptible_a life_n needs_o must_v it_o be_v endless_a and_o exempt_v from_o all_o corruption_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n speak_v in_o old_a

and_o we_o receive_v it_o with_o all_o reverence_n likewise_o at_o this_o day_n although_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v dead_a yet_o do_v god_n work_v still_o by_o they_o &_o the_o word_n that_o be_v bring_v among_o we_o in_o these_o day_n not_o only_o have_v his_o lively_a force_n but_o also_o quicken_v we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o food_n of_o our_o soul_n by_o it_o

of_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n when_o as_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o of_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n swear_v to_o the_o ancient_a father_n that_o be_v

their_o offspring_n as_o though_o moses_n shall_v say_v that_o god_n
to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n we_o cry_v out_o daily_o to_o have_v justice_n execute_v but_o how_o do_v man_n discharge_v themselves_o thereof_o let_v their_o ear_n be_v never_o so_o much_o beat_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n they_o pass_v not_o much_o for_o it_o but_o they_o be_v the_o more_o forgetful_a from_o day_n to_o day_n therefore_o do_v moses_n put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o before_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v in_o any_o wise_a refrain_n from_o serve_v the_o idol_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o he_o add_v a_o

for_o snare_n or_o neâ—â—_n and_o for_o ruin_n decay_n downfall_n or_o stumble_v then_o if_o thou_o fall_v into_o idolatry_n it_o will_v be_v a_o deadly_a fall_n to_o thou_o say_v he_o keep_v thou_o from_o that_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o when_o god_n punish_v y_o e_o wicked_a we_o must_v always_o learn_v at_o their_o cost_n to_o live_v in_o his_o fear_n for_o our_o condemn_v of_o other_o folk_n will_v not_o justify_v ourselves_o if_o we_o follow_v they_o or_o become_v like_o they_o but_o rather_o they_o shall_v be_v witness_n against_o we_o to_o bereave_v we_o of_o all_o excuse_n therefore_o let_v we_o think_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v add_v here_o that_o when_o god_n have_v command_v his_o people_n to_o destroy_v the_o idolater_n he_o add_v beware_v you_o meddle_v not_o which_o it_o their_o superstition_n for_o than_o shall_v you_o be_v overthrow_v out_o of_o hand_n yea_o &_o we_o see_v also_o that_o god_n do_v not_o bear_v with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n any_o long_a time_n after_o they_o have_v offend_v for_o the_o heathen_a might_n yet_o have_v some_o excuse_n because_o they_o have_v not_o have_v any_o teach_n but_o the_o israelite_n sin_v wilful_o &_o their_o do_n be_v a_o manifest_a rebellion_n because_o they_o have_v be_v sufficient_o warn_v thereof_o before_o special_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v do_v they_o so_o great_a honour_n as_o to_o put_v the_o sword_n into_o their_o hand_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o shall_v punish_v the_o misdoing_n of_o other_o see_v then_o you_o t_o god_n have_v so_o honour_v that_o people_n be_v it_o not_o a_o increase_n of_o their_o evil_n much_o more_o when_o they_o happen_v to_o become_v like_o those_o who_o they_o punish_v yes_o for_o y_z e_z punishment_n which_o they_o have_v execute_v upon_o other_o serve_v to_o bereave_v they_o of_o all_o colour_n of_o ignorance_n and_o to_o double_a their_o own_o fault_n for_o after_o as_o god_n honour_v man_n they_o ought_v to_o take_v y_z e_z more_o heed_n to_o live_v in_o all_o pureness_n before_o he_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o why_o those_o two_o thing_n be_v match_v together_o and_o hereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v the_o execute_n of_o justice_n must_v lay_v away_o their_o own_o fleshly_a passion_n and_o look_v that_o they_o be_v quite_o and_o clear_v from_o all_o desire_n of_o revenge_n hatred_n and_o rancour_n and_o this_o must_v be_v regard_v of_o we_o not_o only_o in_o punish_v of_o evil_a doer_n but_o also_o in_o the_o admonishment_n and_o warning_n that_o we_o give_v for_o if_o we_o be_v too_o sharp_a it_o be_v a_o overshoot_n of_o ourselves_o which_o proceed_v of_o our_o sinfulness_n by_o reason_n whereof_o although_o the_o correction_n which_o we_o minister_v be_v out_o of_o god_n word_n yet_o be_v it_o already_o stein_v and_o god_n allow_v it_o not_o sometime_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v excuse_v if_o we_o tell_v a_o man_n the_o truth_n yea_o but_o we_o will_v not_o tell_v it_o he_o if_o our_o overuehement_a affection_n drive_v we_o not_o to_o it_o for_o nowadays_o vice_n be_v foster_v among_o man_n and_o every_o man_n be_v content_a to_o bear_v with_o his_o neighbour_n in_o his_o evil_n do_v but_o if_o there_o happen_v any_o variance_n or_o quarrel_n than_o out_o fly_v that_o which_o be_v conceal_v before_o therefore_o in_o rebuke_v man_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o can_v allege_v that_o we_o have_v tell_v they_o the_o truth_n unless_o we_o can_v also_o therewithal_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o lead_v with_o desire_n of_o

simple_o do_v it_o of_o zeal_n to_o godward_o now_o than_o it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o when_o a_o judge_n hold_v the_o sword_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o be_v to_o proceed_v further_o to_o the_o execute_n of_o justice_n with_o rigour_n he_o shall_v then_o lay_v aside_o all_o evil_a affection_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n have_v express_o show_v his_o people_n the_o end_n of_o

against_o i_o and_o such_o a_o harm_n may_v come_v to_o i_o by_o it_o thus_o in_o stead_n of_o walk_v as_o god_n command_v we_o we_o bow_n with_o every_o blast_n and_o in_o the_o end_n turn_v quite_o away_o we_o be_v but_o over_o bold_a and_o hardy_a in_o follow_v our_o own_o passion_n and_o we_o be_v so_o blind_v with_o they_o that_o although_o there_o be_v danger_n in_o they_o yet_o we_o think_v

after_o that_o manner_n do_v we_o deal_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o be_v but_o too_o bold_a in_o execute_v our_o own_o wicked_a and_o excessive_a mood_n but_o if_o god_n command_v we_o any_o thing_n we_o make_v such_o nysenesse_n at_o it_o as_o be_v pitiful_a to_o see_v and_o then_o come_v all_o these_o doubt_n in_o our_o head_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o i_o shall_v hold_v out_o if_o i_o shall_v follow_v my_o vocation_n faithful_o for_o behold_v there_o be_v such_o a_o block_n in_o my_o way_n i_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o man_n my_o enemy_n such_o a_o

all_o of_o we_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v attaint_v with_o it_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n to_o be_v earnest_n in_o put_v this_o lesson_n in_o ure_n we_o see_v that_o if_o man_n

man_n shall_v overshoote_v himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n and_o whereof_o come_v this_o even_o of_o give_v head_n to_o his_o own_o lust_n &_o therefore_o god_n pay_v he_o his_o just_a hire_n see_v we_o know_v this_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o quake_v at_o such_o vengeance_n set_v before_o our_o eye_n yes_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o david_n and_o solomon_n have_v many_o wife_n it_o be_v not_o without_o fault_n and_o transgression_n and_o thereby_o we_o see_v so_o much_o the_o more_o how_o needful_a this_o law_n be_v for_o if_o god_n have_v never_o forbid_v

to_o hoard_v up_o great_a treasure_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o be_v scotfree_a so_o their_o heart_n inclyne_v not_o to_o pride_n vaynglorie_n and_o

when_o a_o prince_n be_v unjust_o assail_v then_o may_v he_o withstand_v his_o enemy_n by_o force_n for_o why_o the_o man_n that_o enterprise_v to_o trouble_v a_o other_o body_n possession_n or_o

now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o moses_n add_v he_o say_v that_o sehon_n king_n of_o hesebon_n will_v not_o give_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n leave_v to_o pass_v and_o why_o for_o the_o

not_o prevail_v yet_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o send_v it_o but_o here_o moses_n express_v yet_o a_o further_a matter_n that_o god_n harden_v man_n heart_n and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o add_v moreover_o that_o he_o do_v it_o of_o purpose_n to_o overthrow_v they_o and_o destroy_v they_o which_o be_v much_o more_o now_o this_o be_v very_o strange_a gear_n at_o the_o first_o sight_n and_o that_o be_v

rise_v up_o so_o against_o israel_n if_o man_n shall_v flee_v always_o to_o this_o gloze_n god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v harden_v that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o will_v not_o hinder_v or_o impeach_v the_o harden_v to_o what_o purpose_n be_v that_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o fond_a kind_n of_o deal_v and_o the_o word_n turn_v show_v it_o well_o behold_v god_n turn_v the_o heart_n whereas_o man_n

what_o mean_v that_o so_o than_o unless_o we_o mean_v to_o dally_v and_o mock_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o must_v not_o seek_v such_o shift_n but_o rather_o consider_v after_o what_o sort_n it_o be_v that_o god_n harden_v man_n heart_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o the_o hardness_n that_o be_v in_o man_n nor_o can_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v charge_v with_o the_o

thing_n may_v agree_v very_o well_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v harden_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o naughtiness_n and_o yet_o not_o without_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o the_o evil_n proceed_v not_o of_o he_o ne_o aught_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o man_n themselves_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o blame_n and_o

that_o poinâ—_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v that_o god_n harden_v man_n without_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o sin_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o sometime_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v apparent_a and_o whensoever_o god_n punish_v man_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o he_o do_v it_o just_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n now_o one_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v to_o punish_v man_n with_o all_o be_v that_o he_o blind_v they_o that_o he_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o he_o send_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o giddiness_n that_o he_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o satan_n these_o than_o be_v sign_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o cause_n go_v before_o we_o must_v glorify_v he_o and_o why_o for_o he_o do_v the_o office_n of_o a_o judge_n and_o for_o so_o do_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o carp_v and_o snap_v at_o he_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v send_v

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

must_v mark_v that_o when_o this_o poor_a heathen_a man_n speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o we_o resemble_v god_n either_o in_o eye_n or_o in_o nose_n or_o in_o ear_n but_o

to_o note_v also_o that_o god_n have_v always_o bear_v with_o the_o fainthartednesse_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o be_v

that_o he_o have_v not_o institute_v those_o sign_n without_o cause_n but_o that_o thereby_o he_o make_v his_o grace_n and_o power_n to_o be_v feel_v of_o the_o faithful_a when_o they_o come_v

to_o bring_v they_o to_o he_o therefore_o let_v man_n beware_v of_o such_o abuse_n indeed_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v

what_o be_v all_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o world_n they_o be_v but_o dead_a thing_n they_o be_v leap_v up_o in_o paper_n and_o be_v nothing_o worth_a unless_o there_o be_v man_n choose_v

we_o know_v well_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o be_v desirable_a for_o we_o see_v you_o e_o commodity_n thereof_o but_o yet_o in_o stead_n of_o use_v of_o it_o holy_o with_o

to_o beware_v that_o we_o defile_v not_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v sanctify_v to_o our_o profit_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o have_v liberty_n to_o choose_v judge_n &_o magistrate_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a prerogative_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v it_o be_v maintain_v and_o use_v with_o good_a conscience_n when_o a_o people_n have_v this_o prerogative_n let_v

commandment_n be_v give_v to_o choose_v and_o ordain_v judge_n and_o magistrate_n and_o it_o be_v say_v express_o in_o every_o city_n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o man_n shall_v be_v drive_v

doubtless_o god_n will_v always_o remain_v our_o enemy_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o promise_n for_o it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o think_v to_o obtain_v any_o thing_n

asmuch_o as_o the_o moabite_n do_v and_o what_o mean_v they_o by_o these_o ransom_n which_o they_o bring_v but_o that_o they_o will_v fain_o make_v god_n partaker_n of_o their_o wickedness_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v peel_v &_o rob_v other_o he_o will_v bring_v part_n of_o that_o booty_n for_o a_o offering_n a_o fornicatour_n think_v to_o clear_v himself_o by_o give_v of_o alm_n now_o this_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o will_v set_v god_n in_o their_o own_o array_n and_o make_v he_o also_o guilty_a of_o the_o fault_n as_o well_o as_o themselves_o &_o therefore_o they_o do_v but_o provoke_v his_o vengeance_n far_o upon_o they_o as_o the_o moabite_n do_v so_o they_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o afore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v access_n unto_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o

of_o the_o lawless_a liberty_n which_o reign_v nowadays_o among_o y_fw-mi e_fw-es papist_n but_o if_o we_o

&_o a_o number_n of_o other_o gaud_n which_o will_v make_v a_o man_n amaze_v and_o what_o import_v all_o this_o every_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v but_o dung_n take_v from_o satan_n and_o hold_v still_o and_o yet_o the_o papist_n set_v all_o their_o holiness_n therein_o again_o they_o have_v invent_v sacrament_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n as_o their_o sacrament_n of_o conformation_n as_o they_o
