this_o they_o hate_v he_o without_o a_o cause_n as_o our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v testify_v of_o they_o in_o joh._n 15.25_o some_o of_o they_o do_v persecute_v he_o through_o ignorance_n not_o

the_o ass_n his_o master_n crib_n but_o israel_n have_v not_o know_v my_o people_n have_v not_o understand_v the_o other_o be_v in_o jeremy_n 4.22_o where_o you_o have_v these_o word_n for_o my_o

knowledge_n by_o all_o which_o place_n we_o may_v clear_o see_v what_o do_v belong_v to_o we_o even_o a_o save_a knowledge_n of_o god_n will_n and_o a_o holy_a understanding_n of_o his_o way_n we_o must_v not_o be_v like_a to_o the_o horse_n or_o mule_n that_o have_v no_o understanding_n as_o david_n say_v in_o psa_n 32.9_o but_o we_o must_v be_v change_v by_o the_o renew_n of_o our_o mind_n that_o we_o may_v know_v what_o be_v the_o good_a perfect_a and_o acceptable_a will_n of_o god_n as_o paul_n do_v teach_v we_o in_o rom._n 12.2_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v many_o reason_n first_o because_o every_o man_n by_o his_o own_o knowledge_n be_v a_o very_a beast_n before_o the_o lord_n as_o jeremy_n do_v witness_n of_o we_o in_o jeremy_n 10.14_o and_o as_o david_n do_v confess_v of_o himself_o in_o psalm_n 73.22_o say_v so_o foolish_a be_v i_o and_o ignorant_a i_o be_v a_o beast_n before_o thou_o second_o because_o we_o shall_v never_o obey_v the_o lord_n aright_o until_o we_o know_v he_o and_o understand_v his_o will_n nor_o yield_v any_o faithful_a service_n unto_o he_o as_o it_o do_v become_v us._n for_o the_o groundwork_n of_o all_o religion_n &_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o true_a piety_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o way_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n the_o cause_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o disobedience_n against_o god_n be_v the_o ignorance_n of_o his_o will_n and_o the_o unlearnednesse_n of_o the_o same_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v in_o this_o psalm_n already_o and_o as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o hosea_n his_o complaint_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o his_o prophecy_n where_o he_o do_v make_v his_o moan_n that_o man_n do_v lie_v and_o steal_v and_o commit_v adultery_n and_o that_o blood_n do_v touch_v blood_n and_o assign_v this_o reason_n of_o it_o even_o because_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n and_o sure_o where_o man_n know_v not_o god_n what_o can_v be_v look_v for_o else_o but_o all_o impiety_n against_o god_n and_o all_o unrighteous_a deal_n against_o man_n last_o because_o all_o such_o as_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v not_o only_o err_v while_o they_o be_v here_o commit_v grievous_a sin_n against_o he_o but_o shall_v be_v damn_v also_o hereafter_o for_o ever_o my_o people_n say_v the_o lord_n in_o hosea_n 4.6_o be_v destroy_v for_o lack_n of_o knowledge_n and_o paul_n do_v show_v in_o 2._o thess_n 1.8_o that_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o show_v himself_o from_o heaven_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n in_o flame_a fire_n he_o shall_v render_v vengeance_n unto_o they_o that_o do_v not_o know_v god_n which_o shall_v be_v punish_v with_o everlasting_a perdition_n from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o from_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n so_o that_o if_o we_o ponder_v of_o all_o these_o reason_n well_o we_o shall_v easy_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v cause_n sufficient_a why_o every_o man_n shall_v labour_v and_o strive_v to_o plant_v some_o heavenly_a knowledge_n within_o his_o soul_n and_o to_o become_v wise_a and_o learned_a in_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o almighty_a in_o regard_v whereof_o we_o see_v first_o in_o what_o great_a fault_n the_o world_n be_v in_o for_o there_o be_v ignorance_n in_o every_o place_n alas_o alas_o most_o man_n know_v not_o aright_o either_o that_o god_n who_o have_v make_v they_o or_o themselves_o who_o be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o as_o for_o the_o ground_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o lord_n worship_n they_o be_v as_o a_o seal_a and_o clasp_v book_n unto_o they_o we_o dwell_v in_o a_o nation_n and_o country_n wherein_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v be_v free_o read_v &_o preach_v many_o year_n together_o yet_o it_o be_v pitiful_a to_o hear_v &_o understand_v what_o ignorance_n be_v still_o among_o man_n and_o how_o unwise_a &_o unlearned_a they_o be_v in_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n amend_v us._n but_o here_o some_o may_v say_v that_o there_o be_v never_o more_o knowledge_n in_o this_o land_n than_o now_o be_v at_o this_o present_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o our_o knowledge_n be_v nothing_o to_o our_o long_a and_o continue_a teach_v for_o in_o regard_n thereof_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v teacher_n ourselves_o who_o yet_o be_v teach_v of_o other_o and_o have_v need_v also_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o very_a first_o principle_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v become_v many_o of_o we_o at_o the_o least_o such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o milk_n and_o not_o of_o strong_a meat_n as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v speak_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o five_o chapter_n second_o that_o our_o knowledge_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v not_o a_o save_n or_o sanctify_a knowledge_n but_o talkative_a and_o discourse_v it_o hang_v upon_o our_o tongue_n and_o swim_v about_o in_o the_o circumference_n of_o our_o brain_n but_o it_o sink_v not_o down_o into_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v to_o bring_v forth_o a_o reform_a life_n for_o we_o have_v many_o talker_n but_o few_o true_a walker_n and_o sundry_a there_o be_v who_o can_v discourse_v at_o large_a in_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o few_o there_o be_v who_o feel_v the_o power_n and_o force_v thereof_o be_v deaden_v by_o the_o mean_n thereof_o unto_o their_o sin_n and_o quicken_v up_o unto_o all_o fruitful_a work_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v and_o man_n edify_v second_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v most_o currant_n at_o rome_n &_o those_o place_n where_o popery_n do_v bear_v sway_n to_o wit_n that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o devotion_n be_v most_o false_a and_o erroneous_a and_o to_o be_v abandon_v by_o we_o that_o be_v true_a and_o holy_a christian_n as_o christ_n do_v say_v to_o the_o sadducee_n you_o err_v not_o know_v the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o mat._n 22.29_o make_v there_o ignorance_n the_o cause_n of_o error_n which_o be_v clean_o contrary_a to_o their_o doctrine_n so_o he_o say_v to_o

duty_n upon_o all_o that_o do_v intend_v to_o be_v save_v at_o the_o last_o to_o be_v conversant_a in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v dissonant_n altogether_o to_o their_o practice_n and_o teach_n if_o i_o will_v stand_v upon_o such_o a_o common_a place_n as_o this_o be_v i_o can_v allege_v both_o place_n and_o reason_n enough_o to_o overthrow_v they_o in_o this_o respect_n who_o be_v herein_o

that_o can_v be_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v observe_v in_o the_o 3._o and_o 4._o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n as_o thus_o you_o hear_v that_o murmur_a be_v a_o sin_n reason_n so_o peradventure_o you_o will_v glad_o understand_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o few_o word_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o be_v because_o it_o have_v a_o

that_o that_o matter_n be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v better_o dispose_v of_o then_o it_o be_v as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n give_v unto_o every_o one_o a_o penny_n at_o night_n that_o labour_v in_o his_o vineyard_n the_o envious_a man_n grumble_v at_o this_o because_o he_o think_v here_o be_v no_o justice_n and_o equity_n observe_v in_o that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v make_v equal_a in_o their_o wage_n who_o be_v unequal_a in_o their_o labour_n so_o when_o we_o murmur_v against_o god_n we_o do_v dislike_n with_o something_o in_o god_n and_o so_o we_o do_v control_v he_o and_o prefer_v ourselves_o who_o be_v foolish_a and_o wicked_a before_o he_o who_o be_v most_o wise_a and_o holy_a as_o though_o we_o ourselves_o in_o the_o like_a case_n can_v do_v better_a than_o god_n have_v do_v than_o which_o blasphemy_n what_o can_v almost_o be_v more_o heinous_a the_o other_o cause_n be_v because_o it_o have_v some_o rebellion_n in_o it_o as_o a_o curse_a effect_n arise_v from_o the_o wickedness_n of_o that_o former_a cause_n whereof_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v for_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o corrupt_v with_o a_o wrong_a judgement_n the_o heart_n that_o begin_v to_o boil_v and_o rise_v against_o god_n in_o many_o angry_a and_o foolish_a passion_n and_o the_o tongue_n oftentimes_o be_v loose_v with_o most_o vile_a

to_o a_o sea_n of_o corruption_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o those_o murmurer_n and_o many_o other_o who_o be_v mention_v before_o wherefore_o when_o moses_n go_v about_o to_o draw_v the_o people_n from_o their_o murmur_a he_o will_v they_o to_o rebel_v no_o more_o as_o though_o to_o murmur_v &_o to_o rebel_n be_v all_o one_o numb_a 14.9_o and_o when_o god_n do_v reprove_v they_o he_o do_v demand_v how_o long_o they_o will_v provoke_v he_o and_o how_o long_o it_o will_v be_v yer_z they_o do_v believe_v he_o in_o the_o 11._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n as_o though_o there_o be_v

in_o our_o thought_n and_o to_o rebel_v against_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o land_n it_o be_v apparent_a and_o evident_a that_o murmur_a must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n see_v it_o have_v these_o two_o great_a evil_n in_o it_o the_o one_o of_o judge_v amiss_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o other_o of_o rebel_a against_o his_o majesty_n but_o to_o pass_v the_o cause_n let_v we_o come_v to_o

do_v converse_v and_o live_v here_o in_o this_o pilgrimage_n before_o he_o but_o yet_o he_o be_v say_v rather_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n then_o in_o the_o earth_n or_o in_o any_o other_o place_n many_o

of_o his_o majesty_n whereas_o the_o earth_n be_v but_o his_o footstool_n esay_n 66.1_o the_o other_o be_v because_o there_o he_o do_v manifest_v himself_o as_o most_o of_o all_o and_o in_o the_o

in_o the_o 21._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n beside_o but_o the_o chief_a end_n wherefore_o he_o be_v here_o say_v in_o our_o text_n which_o be_v

heaven_n shall_v laugh_v the_o lord_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o derision_n some_o read_v this_o in_o the_o present_a tense_n say_v but_o he_o that_o dwell_v in_o heaven_n do_v laugh_v the_o lord_n

the_o thing_n whereof_o he_o do_v speak_v for_o as_o pharaoh_n dream_n be_v double_v the_o one_o of_o the_o kine_n the_o other_o of_o the_o corn_n because_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o see_v in_o his_o

that_o by_o our_o prayer_n unto_o he_o we_o shall_v receive_v favour_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v this_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o he_o reason_n because_o by_o prayer_n we_o do_v honour_n he_o most_o and_o bring_v great_a glory_n to_o his_o name_n in_o that_o we_o do_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o one_o on_o who_o our_o whole_a life_n and_o all_o that_o we_o have_v do_v depend_v by_o prayer_n we_o shall_v receive_v benefit_n of_o he_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v prayer_n as_o a_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o second_o cause_n to_o convey_v his_o benefit_n oner_n unto_o us._n for_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o he_o have_v appoint_v also_o in_o the_o same_o decree_n of_o he_o the_o mean_n which_o be_v fit_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o same_o end_n and_o therefore_o see_v prayer_n be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a mean_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v for_o the_o pour_v down_o of_o his_o gift_n and_o grace_n upon_o mankind_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o by_o pray_v unto_o he_o man_n do_v receive_v from_o time_n to_o time_n most_o rare_a and_o excellent_a blessing_n from_o he_o learn_v we_o then_o from_o hence_o these_o point_n use_v first_o that_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o blame_n who_o do_v neglect_v prayer_n and_o do_v not_o pour_v out_o their_o soul_n from_o time_n to_o time_n unto_o the_o almighty_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o pray_v continual_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v we_o in_o 1._o thes_n 5.17_o and_o to_o watch_v thereunto_o with_o all_o perseverance_n and_o supplication_n for_o all_o saint_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ephes_n 6.18_o but_o yet_o alas_o we_o do_v it_o too_o seldom_o and_o some_o almost_o never_o in_o all_o their_o life_n but_o let_v we_o amend_v this_o our_o fault_n and_o grow_v better_o in_o this_o respect_n second_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o many_o do_v receive_v few_o or_o no_o benefit_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v this_o not_o because_o his_o hand_n be_v shorten_v it_o and_o unable_a to_o do_v they_o good_a but_o because_o they_o do_v not_o pray_v unto_o

there_o to_o present_v it_o if_o these_o or_o any_o of_o these_o fail_n or_o be_v want_v it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o our_o prayer_n receive_v the_o repulse_n but_o let_v they_o all_o concur_v and_o meet_v together_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v then_o shall_v we_o obtain_v of_o god_n whatsoever_o we_o will_v ourselves_o three_o that_o prayer_n be_v a_o most_o fruitful_a thing_n and_o such_o a_o mean_n as_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o unto_o we_o the_o great_a and_o wonderful_a gift_n of_o the_o almighty_a as_o it_o will_v stay_v the_o lord_n from_o smite_v even_o then_o when_o his_o

to_o time_n that_o sin_n shall_v not_o go_v uncontrolled_a but_o be_v just_o punish_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o either_o more_o or_o less_o as_o it_o do_v deserve_v in_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o god_n will_v have_v idolater_n to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n as_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o his_o word_n in_o deut._n 17.7_o when_o he_o say_v so_o thou_o shall_v take_v the_o wicked_a away_o from_o among_o you_o second_o that_o other_o may_v learn_v by_o their_o example_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o like_a offence_n lest_o they_o be_v make_v

captain_n with_o his_o fifty_o man_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o the_o king_n for_o he_o so_o profit_v by_o the_o judgement_n that_o come_v upon_o the_o

have_v the_o judge_n to_o do_v unto_o every_o man_n as_o every_o man_n think_v to_o do_v unto_o his_o brother_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o his_o word_n in_o deut._n 19.20_o when_o he_o say_v and_o the_o rest_n shall_v hear_v this_o and_o fear_v and_o shall_v henceforth_o commit_v no_o more_o any_o such_o wickedness_n among_o you_o three_o that_o the_o good_a and_o innocent_a may_v not_o be_v

example_n of_o one_o incestuous_a man_n be_v sufficient_a to_o corrupt_v all_o corinth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o paul_n will_v have_v the_o corinthian_n to_o excommunicate_v that_o incestuous_a person_n out_o of_o their_o holy_a fellowship_n as_o we_o may_v well_o collect_v out_o of_o his_o word_n in_o 1._o corinth_n 5.9_o when_o he_o say_v purge_v out_o therefore_o the_o old_a

with_o their_o sin_n and_o transgression_n may_v be_v appease_v and_o not_o break_v out_o against_o all_o for_o the_o same_o for_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n do_v pollute_v the_o whole_a land_n as_o the_o story_n of_o the_o canaanite_n do_v show_v levi._n 18.24_o etc._n etc._n and_o set_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o order_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o ahab_n that_o trouble_a israel_n 1._o king_n 18.18_o and_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o false_a apostle_n that_o trouble_v the_o galathian_o gal._n 5.10_o as_o also_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n which_o put_v he_o beside_o himself_o for_o he_o repent_v of_o his_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o have_v come_v to_o himself_o luke_n 15.17_o so_o it_o do_v drive_v the_o lord_n away_o from_o he_o and_o from_o other_o for_o his_o

that_o god_n do_v leave_v israel_n for_o a_o time_n for_o achans_n sin_n but_o after_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o the_o same_o he_o do_v help_v they_o again_o and_o give_v they_o a_o notable_a

in_o numb_a 25.4_o when_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o take_v all_o the_o head_n of_o the_o people_n and_o hang_v they_o up_o before_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o sun_n that_o the_o indignation_n of_o

thereby_o we_o may_v see_v that_o see_v malefactor_n must_v be_v punish_v that_o we_o must_v not_o storm_v nor_o chafe_v if_o the_o magistrate_n and_o superior_a power_n inflict_v upon_o we_o
