to_o it_o if_o we_o begin_v not_o at_o this_o love_n and_o why_o for_o god_n require_v a_o willing_a service_n he_o will_v not_o that_o we_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o servile_a fear_n but_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o we_o come_v unto_o his_o worship_n with_o a_o free_a &_o cheerful_a courage_n &_o take_v even_o a_o pleasure_n in_o obey_v &_o honour_v of_o he_o now_o this_o can_v not_o be_v except_o we_o love_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o that_o the_o beginning_n the_o fountain_n the_o foundation_n and_o root_n of_o obedience_n be_v this_o love_n of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o force_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o even_o take_v a_o singular_a delight_n &_o pleasure_n therein_o know_v that_o this_o be_v our_o true_a happiness_n that_o we_o desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o will_n and_o to_o be_v in_o all_o point_n conformable_a to_o the_o same_o and_o moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o love_n can_v not_o be_v in_o we_o before_o we_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o conceive_v god_n our_o adversary_n and_o contrary_a party_n we_o can_v not_o but_o flee_v he_o will_v we_o then_o love_v he_o will_v we_o be_v reform_v to_o his_o obedience_n to_o take_v a_o pleasure_n in_o his_o service_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o show_v himself_o love_v &_o favourable_a towards_o we_o when_o we_o shall_v so_o have_v cast_a the_o great_a love_n he_o bear_v we_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o father_n and_o when_o this_o love_n shall_v be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v obey_v he_o &_o his_o law_n shall_v bear_v rule_n in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n and_o in_o all_o our_o member_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v so_o rebellious_a against_o god_n but_o that_o we_o hate_v he_o as_o we_o have_v before_o say_v again_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v lead_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o &_o our_o do_n in_o order_n according_a to_o his_o justice_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v a_o certain_a conformity_n &_o melody_n between_o the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o all_o our_o desire_n &_o affection_n but_o yet_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v this_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v for_o he_o will_v not_o be_v know_v according_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v hear_v he_o speak_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o yield_v he_o this_o title_n of_o god_n but_o he_o will_v be_v know_v as_o he_o be_v namely_o just_a and_o good_a that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n &_o perfection_n of_o all_o wisdom_n of_o all_o power_n of_o all_o uprightness_n of_o all_o equity_n and_o justice_n now_o then_o let_v we_o conceive_v god_n as_o he_o be_v that_o be_v with_o his_o justice_n and_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o desire_v but_o to_o frame_v and_o fashion_n ourselves_o unto_o he_o contrary_a wise_a when_o we_o shall_v love_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o shall_v be_v wrap_v in_o wickedness_n as_o in_o a_o garment_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o we_o must_v hate_v he_o and_o why_o because_o here_o be_v no_o question_n of_o some_o bare_a nature_n &_o be_v neither_o aught_o we_o to_o imagine_v god_n as_o a_o idol_n but_o we_o must_v comprehend_v he_o in_o his_o justice_n it_o than_o we_o shall_v hate_v this_o which_o be_v in_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o justice_n &_o uprightness_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o hate_v he_o also_o for_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v himself_o he_o can_v be_v disguise_v he_o can_v be_v transfigure_v after_o our_o fancy_n he_o always_o abide_v like_o himself_o so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v all_o they_o which_o love_n god_n they_o fail_v not_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o law_n they_o cease_v not_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v knit_v together_o and_o be_v inseparable_a and_o this_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o here_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o take_v a_o warning_n that_o we_o have_v in_o great_a horror_n than_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o have_v all_o rebellion_n all_o sin_n and_o offence_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n to_o be_v proclaim_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o make_v open_a war_n with_o he_o now_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o can_v turn_v ourselves_o from_o he_o nor_o cast_v off_o his_o yoke_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v convict_v to_o have_v be_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v wage_v open_a battle_n with_o he_o and_o lo_o be_v not_o this_o a_o execrable_a thing_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v to_o have_v our_o sin_n and_o offence_n in_o horror_n and_o detestation_n forasmuch_o as_o by_o they_o we_o be_v accuse_v to_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o also_o must_v show_v himself_o our_o adversary_n party_n withal_o we_o be_v also_o warn_v to_o come_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o pure_a and_o sincere_a affection_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o withhold_v our_o foot_n and_o our_o hand_n and_o our_o eye_n from_o evil_a do_v but_o it_o behove_v that_o our_o heart_n go_v before_o and_o that_o god_n be_v serve_v of_o we_o with_o a_o true_a meaning_n mind_n and_o upright_o affection_n and_o this_o affection_n must_v not_o be_v force_v and_o constrain_v but_o it_o ought_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a love_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o will_v right_o observe_v his_o law_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o god_n be_v unto_o we_o a_o kind_a heart_a father_n gentle_a and_o favourable_a unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v to_o yield_v unto_o he_o like_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o withal_o let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o mock_v &_o deceive_v our_o self_n in_o protest_v that_o we_o love_v god_n if_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o this_o be_v not_o show_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n for_o when_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n moses_n add_v that_o they_o which_o love_v he_o do_v also_o keep_v his_o commandment_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o our_o life_n be_v answerable_a in_o this_o behalf_n and_o that_o it_o bear_v witness_v whether_o we_o love_v god_n or_o whether_o we_o hate_v he_o for_o the_o rest_n which_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n make_v comparison_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n with_o his_o favour_n and_o mercy_n say_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o that_o hate_v he_o to_o the_o third_o and_o four_o generation_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o in_o a_o thousand_o generation_n for_o by_o this_o he_o declare_v that_o which_o be_v better_o and_o more_o folly_n express_v in_o other_o sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_n great_o incline_v to_o compassion_n and_o pity_n 8._o that_o he_o be_v patient_a &_o of_o long_a suffering_n 5._o that_o his_o anger_n endure_v but_o a_o while_n that_o his_o mercy_n be_v to_o life_n &_o endure_v for_o ever_o you_o see_v then_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o draw_v man_n unto_o he_o by_o all_o lenity_n and_o gentleness_n and_o to_o use_v his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o they_o when_o he_o punish_v they_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v against_o his_o nature_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n aswell_o to_o punish_v as_o to_o show_v mercy_n but_o he_o will_v show_v we_o that_o his_o goodness_n be_v much_o more_o great_a and_o brief_o that_o he_o be_v not_o sharp_a and_o rigorous_a but_o desirous_a to_o lay_v open_a his_o heart_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o will_v suffer_v he_o for_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o will_v be_v know_v gracious_a and_o pitiful_a and_o this_o be_v that_o wherein_o his_o principal_a glory_n shine_v therefore_o let_v we_o note_v well_o that_o not_o for_o naught_o moses_n here_o assign_v a_o thousand_o generation_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o restrain_v his_o wrath_n &_o vengeance_n to_o a_o three_o or_o four_o generation_n as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o our_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v superstition_n unpunished_a when_o you_o shall_v have_v pervert_v his_o service_n and_o deface_v his_o honour_n busy_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o dream_n and_o dote_a fanste_n you_o shall_v sure_o feel_v the_o punishment_n and_o your_o child_n after_o you_o shall_v feel_v it_o and_o when_o the_o
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

thou_o ought_v then_o to_o use_v such_o gentleness_n towards_o they_o which_o be_v under_o thy_o hand_n but_o here_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n not_o for_o

this_o be_v not_o without_o great_a reason_n for_o in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o principal_a article_n the_o one_o concern_v our_o duty_n towards_o he_o the_o other_o our_o duty_n

every_o one_o desire_v to_o be_v at_o his_o ease_n and_o in_o prosperity_n we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v to_o wish_v this_o unto_o ourselves_o for_o our_o nature_n lead_v we_o hereunto_o but_o

unto_o himself_o when_o he_o set_v before_o they_o a_o reward_n as_o if_o he_o say_v go_v to_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n why_o i_o shall_v be_v serve_v of_o you_o i_o deserve_v it_o full_a well_o at_o your_o hand_n though_o you_o have_v small_a regard_n of_o i_o for_o see_v that_o you_o be_v my_o creature_n be_v it_o not_o good_a reason_n that_o you_o be_v my_o subject_n and_o render_v all_o

that_o he_o will_v in_o most_o love_a and_o amiable_a wise_a win_v his_o unto_o himself_o that_o he_o will_v as_o it_o be_v break_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a affectionate_a &_o more_o willing_o dispose_v to_o serve_v and_o please_v he_o see_v that_o he_o come_v not_o unto_o they_o with_o such_o rigour_n and_o severity_n as_o he_o may_v but_o yield_v of_o the_o right_n which_o appertain_v unto_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o father_n say_v that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v his_o child_n he_o will_v be_v a_o liberal_a and_o bountiful_a father_n towards_o we_o and_o albeit_o he_o owe_v we_o nothing_o of_o duty_n yet_o will_v he_o bestow_v a_o reward_n on_o we_o for_o the_o service_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v he_o now_o hereby_o we_o be_v admonish_v that_o it_o please_v god_o by_o so_o great_a gentleness_n and_o liberality_n to_o allure_v and_o win_v we_o unto_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v not_o hereupon_o infer_v that_o man_n may_v merit_v and_o deserve_v any_o thing_n by_o serve_v of_o god_n as_o the_o papist_n when_o they_o hear_v such_o place_n they_o run_v to_o their_o merit_n and_o it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o god_o be_v further_o bind_v and_o behold_v unto_o they_o than_o he_o have_v promise_v but_o god_n contrariwise_o mean_v to_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o apply_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o to_o the_o fashion_n of_o man_n that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o win_v we_o by_o all_o gentleness_n unto_o his_o obedience_n and_o this_o be_v not_o for_o any_o profit_n that_o he_o receive_v thereby_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n what_o profit_n shall_v he_o receive_v when_o we_o shall_v have_v accomplish_v his_o whole_a law_n be_v this_o any_o way_n to_o his_o gain_n and_o advantage_n no._n but_o it_o make_v for_o our_o salvation_n you_o see_v then_o what_o the_o intent_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v &_o what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o this_o sentence_n so_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v obey_v our_o god_n if_o he_o make_v we_o to_o prosper_v that_o this_o be_v not_o for_o that_o he_o owe_v we_o any_o thing_n and_o that_o we_o have_v deserve_v it_o and_o that_o we_o may_v vaunt_v that_o he_o give_v we_o no_o more_o than_o we_o deserve_v but_o it_o please_v he_o to_o display_v and_o lay_v open_a his_o bountiful_a goodness_n towards_o we_o even_o to_o call_v that_o a_o reward_n and_o recompense_n which_o he_o of_o his_o mere_a and_o free_a liberality_n give_v we_o without_o be_v therefore_o bind_v and_o indebt_v unto_o we_o moreover_o when_o he_o chastise_v we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o misery_n let_v we_o know_v that_o we_o do_v but_o gather_v in_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o own_o seed_n because_o we_o have_v lead_v a_o evil_a life_n our_o lord_n must_v needs_o show_v some_o sign_n and_o take_v of_o his_o anger_n that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v he_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n but_o he_o have_v also_o as_o well_o a_o regard_n unto_o our_o profit_n that_o be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v sorry_a for_o our_o fault_n and_o be_v in_o displeasure_n with_o ourselves_o for_o they_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o he_o in_o true_a and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n loe_o how_o god_o when_o he_o show_v his_o anger_n towards_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o declare_v his_o love_n for_o he_o seek_v to_o win_v we_o unto_o himself_o he_o see_v that_o we_o be_v bring_v asleep_a in_o our_o sin_n and_o he_o awake_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a and_o necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v so_o do_v thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v upon_o this_o place_n now_o in_o the_o end_n moses_n speak_v of_o the_o land_n they_o be_v to_o possess_v and_o say_v that_o thou_o may_v prosper_v in_o the_o land_n which_o i_o shall_v give_v thou_o and_o again_o for_o the_o second_o time_n he_o place_v this_o sentence_n that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o with_o you_o in_o the_o land_n which_o you_o shall_v possess_v now_o it_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n that_o god_n promise_v no_o other_o reward_n than_o in_o this_o earthly_a and_o transitory_a life_n if_o it_o be_v so_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n have_v be_v clean_o beat_v down_o but_o let_v we_o note_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v use_v towards_o this_o

from_o the_o salvation_n which_o we_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 22._o but_o they_o serve_v rather_o that_o god_o may_v signify_v that_o man_n be_v condemn_v that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o mean_a to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o than_o this_o which_o they_o have_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o for_o all_o this_o man_n cease_v not_o to_o kill_v brute_n beast_n for_o their_o

appoint_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o these_o sacrifice_n of_o brute_n beast_n but_o he_o do_v not_o this_o be_v to_o conduct_v the_o people_n after_o such_o a_o gross_a manner_n to_o the_o

from_o the_o beginning_n propose_v the_o eternal_a inheritance_n of_o salvation_n unto_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n in_o say_v to_o abraham_n 1._o i_o be_o thy_o exceed_a great_a reward_n he_o
