thereby_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v that_o land_n to_o be_v as_o a_o dwell_a place_n and_o everlasting_a inheritance_n for_o the_o people_n to_o rest_v in_o under_o his_o protection_n for_o there_o

most_o excellent_a above_o all_o other_o but_o behold_v the_o people_n on_o the_o otherside_n be_v malicious_a and_o froward_a therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n shall_v say_v i_o see_v well_o enough_o how_o the_o world_n go_v i_o shall_v soon_o make_v fire_n and_o water_n to_o agree_v than_o cause_n this_o people_n to_o like_v of_o my_o benefit_n for_o in_o my_o benefit_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a goodness_n and_o in_o this_o people_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a naughtiness_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o to_o enjoy_v god_n benefit_n we_o

our_o own_o nature_n god_n must_v needs_o withdraw_v his_o goodness_n away_o from_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n look_v not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n at_o our_o hand_n why_o he_o shall_v do_v we_o good_a nay_o rather_o he_o fight_v daily_o against_o our_o sin_n and_o use_v mercy_n where_o as_o he_o may_v lawful_o use_v rigour_n against_o us._n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o naughtiness_n he_o can_v no_o long_o continue_v in_o do_v we_o good_a you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o

of_o his_o goodness_n why_o so_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o god_n offer_v man_n his_o benefit_n &_o they_o refuse_v they_o of_o a_o wilful_a frowardness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o fire_n

again_o to_o the_o matter_n that_o we_o be_v in_o hand_n with_o which_o be_v that_o moses_n mean_v not_o to_o excuse_v himself_o he_o seek_v no_o startinghole_n to_o lessen_v his_o fault_n but_o the_o

you_o you_o have_v do_v enough_o to_o carry_v i_o away_o to_o satan_n through_o your_o naughtiness_n and_o rebellion_n now_o then_o acknowledge_v the_o sin_n that_o you_o have_v commit_v for_o god_n

that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o like_v y_z e_z better_o of_o ourselves_o when_o our_o fault_n be_v unknowen_a to_o ourselves_o or_o when_o we_o can_v cover_v

any_o man_n a_o occasion_n of_o stumble_a or_o offend_v although_o he_o on_o his_o part_n be_v not_o thereby_o discharge_v yet_o must_v our_o offence_n need_v be_v the_o more_o grievous_a and_o

with_o he_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o people_n and_o furthermore_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o that_o god_n lay_v of_o his_o temporal_a chastisemente_n upon_o his_o faithful_a one_o be_v not_o to_o drive_v they_o to_o despair_n but_o to_o humble_v they_o for_o a_o time_n for_o in_o the_o end_n all_o turn_v to_o their_o benefit_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n for_o it_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a and_o bitter_a punishment_n unto_o moses_n to_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o the_o land_n that_o have_v be_v promise_v he_o the_o time_n be_v come_v that_o the_o people_n

the_o cause_n why_o there_o happen_v so_o many_o change_n and_o it_o be_v marvel_n that_o there_o be_v not_o see_v yet_o a_o hundred_o time_n mo_z sure_o if_o god_n have_v not_o a_o special_a regard_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o mankind_n no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v see_v alteration_n of_o kingdom_n every_o day_n so_o that_o within_o two_o or_o three_o day_n he_o that_o be_v now_o a_o king_n

to_o flight_n that_o be_v a_o change_n that_o come_v of_o god_n but_o as_o for_o to_o assail_v unprovoke_v that_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o be_v not_o to_o fight_v against_o creature_n but_o against_o the_o live_a god_n and_o let_v we_o weigh_v well_o the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o thou_o shall_v not_o provoke_v they_o say_v he_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o thou_o and_o

misbehave_v themselves_o for_o even_o therefore_o do_v he_o cast_v that_o fear_n upon_o the_o edomite_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v not_o have_v any_o occasion_n of_o

buy_v and_o sell_v quiet_o with_o they_o therein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o touch_v before_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n purpose_v to_o maintain_v a_o people_n in_o their_o possession_n he_o will_v give_v they_o such_o a_o mind_n as_o they_o shall_v not_o provoke_v their_o neighbour_n nor_o open_v they_o any_o gap_n by_o strike_v up_o the_o drum_n or_o by_o sound_v the_o trumpette_fw-it first_fw-mi themselves_o to_o be_v short_a the_o war_n shall_v not_o spring_v on_o their_o own_o side_n therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o when_o a_o people_n do_v put_v forth_o themselves_o or_o when_o

that_o we_o may_v not_o follow_v those_o who_o we_o see_v to_o have_v their_o head_n full_a of_o unquietness_n so_o as_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v meddle_v with_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o let_v

give_v we_o such_o power_n to_o resist_v he_o as_o we_o may_v have_v victory_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n of_o mosese_n furthermore_o where_o as_o he_o say_v that_o god_n lead_v his_o people_n about_o by_o the_o space_n of_o eight_o and_o thirty_o year_n until_o such_o time_n as_o all_o those_o that_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v armour_n at_o the_o time_n that_o the_o people_n murmur_v be_v consume_v it_o serve_v still_o to_o bring_v to_o remembrance_n the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v speak_v namely_o that_o god_n execute_v the_o vengeance_n which_o he_o have_v threaten_v to_o his_o people_n and_o as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o tremble_v at_o god_n threaten_n as_o well_o as_o to_o be_v move_v at_o his_o promise_n such_o be_v our_o nature_n that_o when_o god_n promise_v we_o any_o thing_n we_o fall_v to_o scan_n and_o dispute_v of_o it_o so_o as_o we_o can_v rest_v upon_o it_o to_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o we_o can_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n but_o as_o for_o to_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o it_o we_o will_v none_o of_o that_o unless_o his_o truth_n be_v well_o seal_v and_o warrant_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o too_o we_o be_v so_o incline_v to_o distrust_n that_o we_o draw_v still_o back_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n promise_v we_o so_o brutish_a and_o dulheaded_a be_v we_o and_o this_o appear_v yet_o more_o when_o he_o threaten_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o his_o judgement_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o he_o be_v provoke_v the_o threaten_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n but_o have_v their_o effect_n and_o performance_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o purpose_n moses_n rehearse_v again_o that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v above_o twenty_o year_n old_a at_o the_o time_n that_o the_o people_n murmur_v be_v consume_v and_o that_o not_o by_o casualty_n but_o according_a to_o the_o lord_n own_o say_n and_o this_o be_v to_o assure_v the_o people_n yet_o more_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v perceive_v that_o god_n threaten_v of_o they_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o herewith_o all_o let_v we_o also_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o god_n can_v abide_v that_o man_n shall_v despise_v and_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v and_o let_v occasion_n slip_v for_o if_o he_o open_v the_o gate_n and_o man_n will_v not_o enter_v he_o can_v bear_v with_o that_o negligence_n of_o they_o match_v with_o disobedience_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n be_v so_o provoke_v to_o anger_n that_o he_o swear_v that_o all_o the_o carkeise_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v rot_v in_o the_o wilderness_n 14.31_o num._n 14.31_o and_o that_o he_o use_v so_o sharp_a word_n unto_o they_o it_o be_v for_o that_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o we_o see_v then_o that_o unthankfulness_n provoke_v god_n vengeance_n against_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a special_o when_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v we_o and_o that_o such_o refusal_n proceed_v of_o wilfulness_n and_o malice_n which_o happen_v in_o manner_n continual_o for_o what_o make_v we_o so_o loath_a to_o receive_v the_o good_a turn_n that_o god_n will_v do_v we_o but_o our_o own_o unbelief_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o think_v not_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o we_o but_o rather_o fall_v to_o reason_v what_o will_v become_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o man_n shall_v never_o bereave_v themselves_o of_o god_n benefit_n but_o through_o their_o own_o distrust_n wherefore_o it_o stand_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o on_o hand_n to_o endeavour_v to_o believe_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o our_o god_n and_o to_o receive_v his_o say_n pure_o and_o simple_o and_o to_o yield_v unto_o they_o without_o any_o gainsay_n lo_o whereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v now_o as_o concern_v the_o time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n can_v have_v destroy_v they_o all_o at_o the_o first_o day_n which_o provoke_v he_o so_o to_o anger_n he_o can_v have_v send_v a_o angel_n to_o have_v make_v

they_o up_o and_o down_o by_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n and_o why_o do_v he_o so_o to_o the_o end_n that_o other_o shall_v take_v example_n by_o they_o for_o god_n see_v that_o we_o profit_v better_o by_o his_o correction_n and_o judgement_n in_o process_n of_o time_n than_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v we_o out_o of_o hand_n and_o away_o indeed_o in_o our_o own_o imagination_n we_o have_v lever_n that_o god_n shall_v thunder_v down_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n and_o we_o think_v we_o shall_v perceive_v his_o power_n much_o better_o if_o he_o wipe_v they_o quite_o out_o of_o the_o

they_o have_v their_o delight_n sport_n and_o triumph_n at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o that_o be_v to_o try_v our_o patience_n nevertheless_o sometime_o god_n set_v they_o languish_v as_o well_o as_o

than_o if_o he_o shall_v send_v they_o their_o punishment_n out_o of_o hand_n this_o say_v i_o stick_v fast_o in_o our_o remembrance_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o be_v better_o teach_v by_o the_o

as_o they_o must_v provoke_v he_o to_o wrath_n more_o and_o more_o now_o then_o do_v our_o lord_n punish_v they_o without_o cause_n can_v they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v guiltless_a no_o for_o there_o

and_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o god_n swear_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o his_o promise_n or_o rather_o to_o waken_v we_o when_o he_o see_v we_o wilful_a and_o

we_o may_v gather_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n which_o be_v that_o when_o we_o be_v slow_a to_o obey_v god_n we_o must_v consider_v his_o benefit_n for_o what_o shall_v more_o sharpen_v our_o desire_n to_o follow_v god_n commandment_n than_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o rough_o with_o we_o ne_o overpress_v we_o not_o behold_v god_n can_v rein_v we_o with_o a_o streite_z

we_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n see_v then_o y_z t_z he_o do_v so_o bear_v with_o we_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o do_v as_o he_o appoint_v we_o yes_o so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n commandment_n be_v hard_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o press_v we_o so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v nothing_o near_o for_o if_o god_n list_v to_o use_v his_o right_n with_o extremity_n we_o shall_v be_v torment_v out_o of_o all_o measure_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o that_o he_o use_v more_o than_o fatherly_a goodness_n in_o that_o behalf_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v unpossible_a unto_o we_o 7.14.15_o ro._n 7.14.15_o

well_o about_o they_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n bear_v with_o they_o as_o a_o father_n that_o pity_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v thankful_a and_o to_o be_v

after_o once_o and_o here_o the_o people_n say_v we_o have_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o if_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o again_o we_o die_v for_o it_o we_o be_v undo_v we_o be_v forlorn_v it_o

let_v they_o continue_v in_o their_o strength_n but_o we_o must_v mark_v how_o the_o people_n show_v here_o that_o they_o will_v not_o try_v god_n any_o further_a and_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o

therefore_o if_o we_o fear_v god_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o show_v it_o by_o our_o deed_n and_o by_o proof_n even_o by_o frame_v our_o life_n according_a to_o his_o will_n now_o hereupon_o we_o may_v

contrariwise_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o keep_v all_o his_o commandment_n and_o statute_n so_o then_o when_o man_n turn_v from_o that_o way_n and_o follow_v

the_o first_o word_n which_o he_o use_v signify_v sometime_o to_o cleave_v unto_o &_o sometime_o to_o take_v pleasure_n but_o here_o the_o proper_a &_o natural_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n

that_o be_v the_o matter_n which_o moses_n mean_v to_o show_v here_o now_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o fill_n and_o be_v well_o maintain_v when_o they_o shall_v have_v keep_v god_n commandment_n after_o that_o fashion_n we_o have_v two_o point_n to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n for_o a_o conclusion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n tell_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v not_o bare_o give_v they_o whatsoever_o be_v needful_a for_o they_o but_o also_o give_v they_o their_o fill_n of_o his_o benefit_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v thorough_o satisfy_v with_o they_o that_o be_v for_o the_o one_o the_o second_o be_v a_o come_n back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o although_o god_n speak_v but_o of_o temporal_a good_n such_o as_o concern_v but_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o he_o lead_v they_o further_o thereby_o first_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n not_o only_o give_v and_o bestow_v upon_o we_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o but_o also_o in_o large_v and_o extend_v his_o riches_n yet_o further_o by_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o overmeasure_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o natural_a necessity_n what_o need_v we_o more_o than_o bread_n and_o water_n but_o god_n add_v wine_n to_o comfort_n and_o glad_a man_n heart_n 104.15_o 〈◊〉_d 104.15_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n again_o we_o see_v he_o voutsafe_v to_o pleasure_v we_o after_o all_o sort_n by_o send_v we_o so_o many_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o delight_v we_o withal_o which_o be_v all_o witness_n of_o his_o liberality_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o not_o only_o provide_v we_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v not_o forbear_v but_o also_o add_v as_o a_o overplus_n a_o great_a number_n of_o good_a thing_n that_o serve_v for_o our_o pleasure_n whereby_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o love_v he_o and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o wing_n to_o we_o wherewith_o to_o fly_v unto_o he_o but_o contrariwise_o if_o god_n give_v we_o store_n we_o can_v forbear_v to_o pamper_v

without_o wit_n &_o reason_n but_o also_o of_o all_o such_o as_o be_v in_o love_n with_o their_o delicate_n and_o delight_n so_o as_o if_o they_o have_v abundance_n more_o than_o ordinary_a they_o

that_o our_o god_n have_v forbid_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o heathen_a and_o which_o they_o take_v leave_v to_o do_v let_v we_o understande_v that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o

let_v we_o nowadays_o consider_v to_o what_o purpose_n this_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n may_v serve_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o may_v enter_v into_o himself_o as_o for_o

but_o that_o there_o be_v always_o this_o exemption_n that_o god_n have_v still_o a_o peculiar_a kind_n of_o reign_v whereby_o he_o show_v as_o in_o a_o lookingglasse_n they_o y_fw-fr t_o people_n

we_o see_v then_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o first_o part_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v at_o his_o own_o free_a choice_n to_o bring_v what_o pledge_n he_o will_v so_o as_o he_o be_v press_v he_o

that_o be_v one_o point_n to_o be_v note_v the_o other_o be_v in_o consider_v of_o this_o point_n what_o difference_n there_o be_v whether_o a_o man_n die_v for_o hunger_n or_o for_o cold_a this_o

have_v if_o i_o leave_v and_o forsake_v he_o doubtless_o i_o do_v he_o wrong_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n now_o civil_a justice_n can_v set_v down_o no_o other_o order_n but_o that_o all_o must_v

we_o ought_v to_o observe_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o man_n a_o earthly_a judge_n punish_v the_o fault_n which_o be_v know_v unto_o he_o but_o before_o god_n it_o be_v

find_v himself_o short_a again_o we_o see_v not_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n punish_v young_a child_n even_o such_o as_o be_v yet_o in_o their_o mother_n womb_n but_o he_o know_v a_o reason_n why_o

not_o measure_n god_n by_o man_n to_o bind_v he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o earthly_a judge_n be_v command_v to_o do_v for_o he_o be_v not_o subject_a unto_o the_o same_o law_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o have_v declare_v and_o in_o deed_n he_o protest_v also_o by_o his_o prophet_n ezechiel_n 18.4_o ezech._n 18.4_o that_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v the_o child_n for_o the_o father_n sake_n for_o it_o be_v now_o grow_v to_o a_o common_a proverb_n in_o israel_n that_o they_o which_o be_v trouble_v with_o war_n famine_n and_o other_o calamity_n will_v say_v what_o we_o be_v not_o so_o

and_o how_o will_v we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o inquire_v beyond_o our_o measure_n let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o this_o that_o god_n goodness_n be_v a_o unblameable_a justice_n

20.2_o exod._n 20.2_o i_o be_o the_o everliving_a thy_o god_n which_o have_v bring_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n before_o that_o god_n set_v down_o any_o commandment_n to_o rule_v

therefore_o as_o we_o of_o our_o own_o nature_n be_v so_o slow_a to_o serve_v god_n or_o rather_o so_o resty_a that_o we_o draw_v clean_o backward_o from_o his_o will_n because_o we_o receive_v not_o the_o yoke_n quiet_o but_o be_v as_o young_a untamed_a and_o unhandled_a heiffer_v or_o rather_o as_o stiffnecked_a bull_n for_o we_o see_v how_o some_o be_v so_o headstrong_a and_o brainsick_a that_o

that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o judge_n speak_v unto_o the_o man_n to_o persuade_v he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o if_o the_o man_n will_v not_o consent_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o the_o magistrate_n and_o other_o justicer_n ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o use_v any_o force_n and_o violence_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v simple_o command_v as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o i_o be_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n will_v constrain_v a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o i_o think_v good_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o the_o law_n constrain_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o their_o bound_n and_o not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o say_v what_o i_o command_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v do_v it_o no_o for_o there_o be_v no_o constrain_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o law_n a_o man_n must_v hold_v himself_o to_o the_o rule_n thereof_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o point_n that_o must_v be_v come_v unto_o be_v to_o presume_v to_o bring_v man_n into_o no_o further_a subjection_n than_o the_o law_n bind_v they_o unto_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o be_v far_a to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o shame_n that_o be_v do_v in_o pluck_v off_o of_o their_o shoe_n &_o in_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n it_o serve_v to_o provoke_v

unto_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o any_o carnal_a kindred_n privilege_v as_o the_o race_n and_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n be_v for_o god_n

nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o go_v to_o work_v after_o that_o fashion_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o bethink_v we_o how_o the_o apostle_n say_v 10.31_o heb._n 10.31_o that_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a

4.14_o say_v if_o righteousness_n depend_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n then_o be_v the_o promise_n to_o no_o purpose_n saint_n paul_n in_o that_o place_n touch_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o

then_o be_v there_o no_o more_o certainty_n in_o the_o promise_n say_v he_o &_o so_o consequent_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o we_o will_v needs_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o our_o work_v after_o that_o manner_n speak_v he_o thereof_o as_o well_o to_o the_o roman_n as_o to_o the_o galathian_o 3._o rom._n 4._o gal._n 3._o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n denounce_v we_o to_o be_v all_o condemn_a by_o this_o sentence_n where_o he_o say_v curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o my_o law_n as_o for_o the_o

god_n accept_v any_o of_o they_o when_o we_o fall_v to_o breed_n of_o our_o own_o lykinge_n in_o our_o own_o brain_n he_o refuse_v everywhit_o of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o the_o

we_o two_o thing_n to_o mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o this_o foresay_a sentence_n to_o damn_v we_o all_o yea_o even_o the_o holy_a saint_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o no_o man_n have_v satisfy_v god_n law_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v for_o if_o the_o holy_a father_n which_o have_v a_o angelical_a holiness_n in_o this_o world_n be_v notwithstanding_o faulty_a before_o god_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o now_o make_v comparison_n between_o we_o and_o they_o how_o far_o off_o be_v we_o from_o the_o holiness_n of_o abraham_n the_o pureness_n of_o david_n the_o soundness_n of_o job_n and_o the_o perfectness_n of_o daniel_n when_o these_o may_v be_v

saint_n paul_n when_o he_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o thing_n then_o which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v we_o of_o all_o righteousness_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o rid_v we_o of_o all_o presumption_n &_o pride_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o pretend_v to_o come_v to_o account_v with_o he_o to_o bind_v he_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v willing_o condemn_v ourselves_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n now_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v the_o remedy_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v which_o be_v that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n for_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v he_o hang_v upon_o tree_n 3.13_o gal._n 3.13_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o in_o the_o one_o and_o twentieth_o chapter_n that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v hang_v upon_o tree_n be_v all_o accurse_a now_o when_o god_n make_v that_o law_n know_v he_o not_o what_o he_o have_v ordain_v afore_o concern_v his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v to_o be_v hang_v on_o tree_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o unchaungeable_a decree_n make_v even_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v now_o match_v this_o sentence_n with_o the_o other_o which_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o one_o and_o twentyth_n chapter_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o say_n you_o see_v well_o that_o for_o want_n of_o perform_v they_o we_o be_v confound_v and_o of_o right_a as_o good_a as_o damn_a but_o yet_o heerewithall_o we_o must_v also_o embrace_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v curse_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o if_o that_o this_o curse_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a then_o must_v we_o now_o be_v needs_o set_v free_a what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v curse_v without_o cause_n and_o yet_o no_o fruit_n redound_v thereof_o to_o we_o that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o blessedness_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o we_o not_o know_v wherefore_o but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v unprofitable_a now_o then_o see_v that_o the_o curse_n which_o jefus_fw-la christ_n suffer_v in_o his_o own_o person_n be_v not_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n let_v we_o know_v that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v we_o be_v deliver_v before_o god._n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v those_o two_o text_n to_o
unto_o thou_o till_o it_o have_v consume_v thou_o from_o the_o land_n which_o thou_o go_v to_o possess_v it_o 22_o the_o lord_n will_v strike_v thou_o with_o swell_n and_o with_o the_o fever_n and_o

see_v these_o other_o day_n past_a how_o god_n entreat_v his_o people_n by_o promise_n now_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o add_v threaten_n and_o that_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n for_o we_o see_v what_o slowness_n be_v in_o we_o when_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o submit_v of_o ourselves_o to_o the_o obey_n of_o god_n our_o foot_n be_v swift_a enough_o to_o run_v to_o evil_a as_o the_o prophet_n esay_n say_v and_o as_o it_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o proverbe_n 3.14_o 〈◊〉_d 5â—_n 7_o 〈◊〉_d 1.16_o 〈◊〉_d 3.14_o but_o god_n can_v make_v we_o to_o set_v forth_o one_o step_n to_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o become_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v compel_v to_o it_o as_o of_o force_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n begin_v with_o gentleness_n and_o goodness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o keep_v this_o order_n of_o set_v forth_o his_o blessing_n unto_o they_o that_o serve_v he_o he_o may_v very_o well_o have_v begin_v with_o threatening_n but_o he_o do_v it_o not_o and_o why_o he_o tri_v to_o see_v whether_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v teach_v by_o show_v himself_o fatherly_a towards_o we_o and_o by_o make_v it_o to_o be_v see_v that_o he_o seek_v nothing_o but_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n prosperity_n and_o quietness_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n do_v first_o make_v a_o trial_n of_o we_o and_o if_o that_o prevail_v not_o then_o he_o use_v threaten_n and_o it_o behoove_v those_o two_o to_o go_v joint_o together_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o if_o we_o serve_v not_o god_n with_o a_o free_a will_n albeit_o that_o man_n can_v find_v any_o fault_n with_o we_o yet_o if_o we_o go_v to_o it_o unwilling_o all_o our_o life_n be_v detestable_a for_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o we_o have_v a_o pure_a and_o free_a good_a will_n to_o give_v ourselves_o over_o unto_o god_n for_o we_o must_v not_o have_v our_o eye_n to_o the_o reward_n and_o therefore_o do_v it_o much_o more_o follow_v in_o reason_n that_o if_o we_o go_v to_o it_o by_o constraynt_n all_o our_o life_n be_v curse_v yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o desire_n of_o serve_v god_n because_o it_o be_v not_o lose_v labour_n be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v for_o when_o we_o be_v come_v to_o that_o point_n we_o be_v but_o at_o the_o half_a way_n although_o a_o man_n receive_v the_o promise_n which_o be_v here_o contain_v and_o offer_v himself_o to_o god_n to_o serve_v he_o yet_o his_o so_o do_v be_v unperfect_a and_o deserve_v to_o be_v cast_v off_o wherefore_o because_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o may_v not_o be_v

and_o special_o for_o that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n he_o begin_v at_o the_o promise_n because_o of_o our_o infirmity_n to_o set_v we_o the_o more_o forward_o and_o when_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o on_o so_o far_o than_o he_o manife_v unto_o we_o a_o great_a perfection_n but_o to_o be_v short_a we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o people_n which_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o outward_a show_n one_o sort_n do_v it_o by_o compulsion_n with_o gnash_v their_o tooth_n at_o it_o and_o they_o do_v discharge_v it_o after_o a_o fashion_n and_o wherefore_o because_o they_o know_v well_o that_o they_o can_v escape_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n they_o fear_v his_o anger_n and_o his_o vengeance_n and_o therefore_o do_v they_o serve_v he_o but_o that_o be_v by_o compulsion_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v all_o this_o be_v reproove_v another_o sort_n take_v the_o middle_a way_n for_o they_o know_v that_o god_n be_v faithful_a and_o that_o such_o as_o serve_v he_o shall_v not_o lose_v their_o labour_n these_o harken_v to_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v express_v in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o so_o a_o great_a many_o do_v yield_v themselves_o to_o serve_v god_n because_o he_o allure_v they_o thereunto_o by_o promise_v they_o reward_n as_o we_o have_v see_v before_o but_o as_o i_o say_v we_o may_v not_o stay_v there_o but_o we_o must_v rather_o consider_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v make_v and_o fashion_v we_o redeem_v we_o and_o be_v our_o father_n the_o same_o aught_o to_o suffice_v we_o although_o we_o have_v no_o respect_n unto_o that_o which_o he_o promise_v we_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v prevent_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n and_o show_v himself_o so_o bountiful_a towards_o we_o his_o so_o do_v aught_o to_o inflame_v we_o with_o a_o ardent_a affection_n to_o serve_v he_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o our_o life_n but_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o our_o lord_n in_o his_o law_n have_v respect_n to_o our_o rawness_n and_o therefore_o he_o promise_v to_o reward_v we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v the_o better_a courage_n and_o in_o deed_n though_o we_o serve_v god_n with_o affection_n never_o so_o pure_a and_o free_o employ_v yet_o must_v we_o always_o wait_v for_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v we_o and_o stay_v thereupon_o we_o must_v i_o say_v hope_v for_o his_o blessing_n when_o we_o have_v serve_v he_o with_o a_o good_a courage_n but_o we_o may_v not_o do_v it_o to_o that_o end_n we_o must_v not_o be_v draw_v by_o this_o respect_n only_o for_o as_o i_o

for_o we_o to_o imagine_v any_o merit_n in_o ourselves_o but_o that_o he_o accept_v we_o of_o his_o own_o only_a infinite_a goodness_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n must_v seek_v

notwithstanding_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o this_o people_n have_v more_o modesty_n in_o they_o than_o moses_n speak_v of_o for_o in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v add_v that_o moses_n sing_v this_o song_n

since_o we_o see_v that_o notwithstanding_o such_o silence_n and_o such_o apparancie_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o of_o godliness_n yet_o god_n utter_v so_o rough_a a_o sentence_n we_o must_v understande_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o protest_v ceremonious_o that_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n insomuch_o that_o although_o we_o resort_v to_o sermon_n and_o have_v our_o

do_v then_o when_o we_o have_v hear_v god_n word_n let_v every_o of_o we_o examine_v himself_o
so_o and_o therefore_o god_n can_v well_o root_v we_o out_o of_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n and_o on_o the_o otherside_n he_o can_v well_o make_v the_o papist_n dumb_a and_o altogether_o

therewithal_o he_o can_v raise_v up_o a_o new_a people_n which_o shall_v glorify_v he_o in_o his_o just_a destroy_n and_o consume_v of_o us._n god_n can_v well_o do_v all_o these_o thing_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o hold_v still_o such_o order_n in_o his_o work_n as_o he_o have_v determine_v upon_o in_o himself_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o on_o the_o one_o side_n he_o spare_v we_o

for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o bold_a to_o offend_v god_n neither_o take_v we_o such_o liberty_n as_o they_o do_v which_o fling_v out_o at_o all_o adventure_n but_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o god_n warn_v we_o of_o our_o fault_n then_o have_v we_o need_v to_o resort_v to_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o shall_v obtain_v pardon_n of_o our_o offence_n true_o these_o two_o thing_n namely_o that_o god_n kill_v and_o quicken_v again_o and_o that_o he_o make_v a_o wound_n and_o afterward_o heal_v again_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n to_o be_v contrary_n for_o god_n seem_v not_o to_o play_v the_o physician_n towards_o we_o when_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o lay_v in_o our_o grave_n neither_o seem_v this_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o nature_n to_o put_v we_o to_o death_n and_o to_o afflict_v we_o but_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o do_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o we_o on_o our_o side_n also_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o feel_v it_o for_o as_o long_o as_o man_n take_v leave_v to_o do_v evil_a it_o be_v meet_v that_o god_n shall_v hold_v they_o in_o awe_n and_o show_v they_o that_o he_o be_v their_o judge_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o wretched_a sinner_n shall_v humble_v themselves_o and_o with_o grief_n of_o mind_n turn_v again_o unto_o he_o to_o obtain_v forgiveness_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o then_o will_v he_o be_v forward_o and_o ready_o to_o forget_v all_o their_o offence_n and_o show_v they_o nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o gentleness_n &_o friendship_n to_o be_v short_a the_o two_o thing_n which_o moses_n note_v here_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v well_o namely_o that_o god_n use_v rigour_n towards_o such_o as_o take_v too_o much_o liberty_n to_o do_v evil_a and_o also_o that_o his_o goodness_n be_v ready_a to_o utter_v itself_o towards_o those_o which_o return_v to_o he_o with_o repentance_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v also_o how_o good_a and_o pitiful_a god_n be_v and_o again_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o have_v to_o consider_v his_o rigour_n and_o severity_n to_o be_v short_a as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o evil_a and_o the_o wicked_a lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n do_v tickle_v we_o and_o entice_v we_o to_o sin_n let_v god_n judgement_n come_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v be_v move_v with_o fear_n and_o thereby_o be_v restrain_v from_o the_o evil_a whereunto_o we_o be_v tempt_v on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o fall_v through_o infirmity_n let_v we_o not_o be_v afraid_a to_o turn_v again_o to_o our_o god_n neither_o let_v we_o think_v that_o he_o have_v quite_o cast_v we_o off_o although_o his_o hand_n be_v sore_o upon_o we_o and_o he_o smite_v we_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v to_o use_v wrath_n and_o vengeance_n against_o we_o yet_o let_v that_o not_o make_v we_o to_o shrink_v from_o he_o but_o rather_o let_v we_o understande_v y_z t_z as_o he_o have_v make_v the_o wound_n so_o he_o be_v at_o hand_n to_o heal_v it_o so_o we_o seek_v the_o remedy_n now_o the_o mean_a how_o to_o seek_v it_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o and_o so_o you_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o put_v this_o lesson_n in_o ure_n where_o moses_n say_v that_o god_n have_v put_v to_o death_n do_v make_v alive_a again_o and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o also_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n play_v not_o with_o man_n as_o the_o heathen_a have_v imagine_v as_o who_o will_v say_v he_o toss_v and_o turn_v they_o like_o a_o bal_n but_o y_o e_o reason_n be_v manifest_a why_o god_n do_v first_o kill_v and_o lay_v in_o grave_n before_o he_o restore_v to_o life_n again_o namely_o because_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o submit_v ourselves_o willing_o unto_o he_o until_o he_o have_v subdue_v we_o by_o force_n nay_o the_o fervent_a heat_n of_o our_o boil_a lust_n do_v so_o carry_v we_o away_o and_o we_o be_v so_o blind_v with_o they_o that_o we_o can_v conceive_v how_o terrible_a god_n justice_n be_v until_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o by_o experience_n therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o y_fw-mi to_o our_o lord_n shall_v put_v we_o as_o it_o be_v to_o death_n to_o y_z e_z intent_n to_o make_v we_o to_o taste_v y_z e_o life_n which_o he_o give_v to_o those_o y_o to_o return_v unto_o he_o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n he_o add_v that_o no_o man_n can_v deliver_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o know_v how_o man_n do_v always_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o shall_v escape_v god_n hand_n insomuch_o that_o he_o begin_v no_o soon_o to_o strike_v they_o but_o by_o and_o by_o they_o seek_v startinghole_n and_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v some_o pretty_a shift_n or_o other_o and_o thereupon_o they_o fall_v asleep_a and_o y_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o contempt_n to_o god_n ward_n to_o the_o end_n than_o that_o we_o may_v go_v direct_o unto_o he_o whether_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o or_o whether_o we_o have_v be_v tempt_v to_o evil_a we_o must_v always_o understande_v that_o there_o be_v no_o deliveraunce_n there_o be_v no_o shift_n but_o we_o must_v make_v our_o accout_n to_o he_o until_o he_o of_o his_o own_o infinite_a goodness_n have_v receive_v we_o and_o be_v come_v to_o atonement_n with_o us._n the_o thing_n therefore_o that_o will_v persuade_v

that_o god_n word_n require_v a_o singular_a affection_n so_o as_o if_o we_o will_v understand_v it_o well_o we_o must_v not_o hear_v it_o as_o some_o other_o thing_n of_o another_o man_n tell_v for_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o wisdom_n that_o surmount_v all_o our_o wit_n therefore_o it_o stand_v man_n in_o hand_n to_o strain_v themselves_o in_o this_o behalf_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n

what_o saint_n paul_n say_v who_o comprehend_v himself_o also_o in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o which_o see_v and_o know_v but_o only_o in_o part_n until_o we_o may_v behold_v god_n glory_n face_n

may_v continual_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o in_o understanding_n and_o that_o we_o perceive_v as_o say_v saint_n paul_n that_o all_o scripture_n be_v profitable_a 3.16_o 2._o tim._n 3.16_o for_o he_o say_v not_o that_o there_o we_o shall_v find_v wherewith_o to_o edify_v ourselves_o but_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o all_o thing_n so_o as_o there_o be_v there_o not_o only_o some_o thing_n that_o may_v do_v we_o good_a but_o also_o that_o if_o we_o search_v throughout_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n declare_v there_o we_o shall_v find_v from_o the_o very_a beginning_n that_o nothing_o be_v set_v down_o there_o without_o cause_n but_o that_o god_n have_v always_o a_o regard_n to_o give_v we_o good_a instruction_n in_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v and_o so_o you_o see_v to_o what_o purpose_n moses_n exhort_v here_o the_o people_n to_o set_v their_o mind_n upon_o all_o these_o word_n but_o now_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o many_o thing_n there_o be_v

nay_o rather_o we_o drag_v back_o from_o that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o righteousness_n and_o upright_o deal_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o bow_v we_o

his_o majesty_n to_o our_o confusion_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o feel_v all_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v never_o seek_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o receive_v he_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o to_o become_v like_o poor_a hungry_a soul_n so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o we_o have_v need_n of_o this_o warning_n that_o we_o must_v be_v gather_v up_o with_o who_o with_o those_o which_o have_v go_v before_o us._n and_o without_o that_o what_o comfort_n shall_v we_o have_v less_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n

6.18_o but_o this_o word_n heaven_n serve_v to_o pluck_v we_o from_o the_o world_n when_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o worship_v he_o we_o

now_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n pitch_v god_n tent_n in_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v lift_v up_o above_o all_o the_o world_n &_o above_o all_o creature_n when_o we_o

like_a to_o ourselves_o by_o transform_v after_o our_o own_o imagination_n therefore_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n set_v forth_o god_n majesty_n so_o high_a as_o we_o be_v abash_v at_o it_o 6.2_o

of_o unthankfulness_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v thirty_o day_n for_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n to_o make_v such_o sorrow_n for_o
