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

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

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

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

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

of_o all_o right_a and_o of_o all_o equity_n now_o then_o let_v we_o conceive_v god_n as_o he_o be_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n with_o his_o justice_n rightuousnesse_n and_o equity_n and_o then_o shall_v

for_o why_o here_o be_v no_o talk_n of_o a_o naked_a be_v we_o must_v not_o imagine_v god_n to_o be_v as_o a_o idol_n we_o must_v conceive_v he_o with_o his_o righteousness_n and_o equity_n therefore_o when_o we_o hate_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n we_o must_v needs_o hate_v his_o own_o self_n for_o he_o can_v

that_o be_v conceive_v afore_o which_o lead_v the_o hand_n and_o provoke_v the_o man_n to_o commit_v the_o murder_n therefore_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o point_n that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o our_o lord_n deem_v all_o those_o to_o be_v murderer_n which_o do_v so_o hate_v their_o neighbour_n and_o the_o same_o must_v warn_v we_o to_o prevent_v all_o danger_n that_o the_o sun_n go_v

and_o let_v we_o strive_v earnest_o to_o overmaister_n ourselves_o that_o our_o heart_n be_v not_o harden_v for_o fear_n lest_o the_o devil_n do_v so_o work_v in_o we_o that_o the_o hatred_n which_o

then_o how_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v and_o general_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o to_o examine_v our_o fault_n well_o we_o must_v not_o only_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o our_o hand_n foot_n eye_n &_o ear_n but_o we_o must_v also_o go_v to_o the_o inward_a part_n &_o search_v our_o thought_n our_o wicked_a desire_n and_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o do_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v we_o for_o there_o lie_v the_o right_a examination_n of_o our_o sin_n when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o because_o he_o have_v commit_v no_o murder_n

but_o it_o be_v but_o their_o common_a phrase_n of_o speech_n whereby_o they_o do_v betoken_v all_o time_n that_o be_v past_a and_o hereby_o our_o lord_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o man_n must_v

to_o clear_v himself_o and_o be_v not_o find_v faulty_a out_o of_o hand_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o enough_o a_o eye_n must_v be_v have_v what_o go_v before_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v find_v out_o in_o

not_o look_v only_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v present_o fall_v out_o but_o let_v we_o go_v yet_o further_o and_o say_v how_o be_v this_o befall_v i_o it_o be_v because_o i_o have_v nourish_v this_o vice_n long_a time_n in_o i_o whereas_o if_o i_o have_v cut_v it_o off_o at_o the_o first_o god_n will_v not_o have_v leave_v i_o so_o much_o to_o myself_o but_o what_o i_o have_v soothe_v

we_o make_v of_o all_o our_o fault_n and_o not_o only_o condemn_v ourselves_o for_o the_o present_a deed_n do_v but_o also_o proceed_v further_o and_o say_v alas_o if_o i_o have_v arm_v myself_o against_o satan_n or_o if_o i_o have_v not_o of_o long_a time_n set_v open_v the_o way_n for_o he_o or_o if_o i_o have_v not_o wrought_v the_o mean_n for_o he_o to_o beguile_v i_o god_n have_v

whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n of_o death_n upon_o such_o a_o man_n it_o serve_v to_o prove_v the_o thing_n better_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v already_o namely_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o guilty_a by_o his_o own_o purpose_n intent_n or_o will_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o offender_n god_n acquit_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o ought_v

man_n can_v always_o well_o grant_v y_o it_o fault_n be_v willing_a when_o you_o
and_o although_o he_o be_v lead_v with_o wicked_a affection_n yet_o ought_v the_o judge_n to_o grant_v he_o his_o right_n and_o that_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n for_o many_o man_n bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o so_o they_o use_v the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o justice_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v what_o they_o can_v &_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v for_o it_o before_o

in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v worthy_a of_o blame_n before_o god_n for_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n require_v the_o quarrel_n must_v first_o be_v just_a and_o good_a second_o the_o mean_n must_v be_v lawful_a and_o three_o the_o affection_n must_v be_v pure_a and_o well_o rule_v now_o this_o third_o point_n want_v in_o most_o man_n as_o how_o some_o man_n

to_o tread_v they_o under_o foot_n because_o they_o see_v they_o be_v able_a to_o work_v their_o own_o revenge_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o such_o person_n it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n that_o general_o he_o always_o appoint_v we_o this_o rule_n not_o to_o do_v unto_o other_o otherwise_o than_o we_o will_v have_v do_v unto_o ourselves_o 1â—_n matt._n 7_o

we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o god_n in_o this_o place_n as_o
this_o be_v abomination_n unto_o god_n and_o curse_a be_v he_o which_o put_v it_o in_o any_o secret_a place_n and_o all_o the_o people_n shall_v say_v amen_o let_v we_o note_v that_o moses_n do_v not_o specify_v in_o this_o place_n all_o the_o curse_n every_o one_o by_o himself_o but_o he_o set_v down_o certain_a example_n to_o show_v that_o all_o they_o which_o swerve_v aside_o from_o the_o

must_v draw_v near_o unto_o god_n see_v that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o happiness_n and_o prosperity_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o they_o which_o depart_v from_o he_o do_v

so_o to_o seek_v their_o own_o woe_n behold_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n now_o god_n begin_v with_o his_o own_o service_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o as_o we_o have_v declare_v afore_o the_o law_n be_v divide_v into_o two_o table_n 4.11_o to_o show_v we_o that_o man_n ought_v first_o of_o all_o so_o to_o behave_v themselves_o as_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v &_o this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a duty_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o perform_v because_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n &_o because_o he_o have_v fashion_v we_o unto_o his_o glory_n let_v we_o tend_v unto_o that_o end_n and_o let_v our_o life_n be_v refer_v thereunto_o see_v the_o first_o table_n show_v we_o so_o brief_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o towards_o our_o god_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n say_v now_o in_o these_o curse_n curse_v be_v he_o which_o make_v any_o idol_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o moses_n rehearse_v only_o certain_a sort_n and_o that_o be_v to_o comprehend_v the_o whole_a in_o one_o part_n as_o we_o have_v see_v example_n thereof_o in_o effect_n therefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v curse_v be_v he_o which_o make_v any_o idol_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o moses_n have_v ingenerall_n pronounce_v a_o curse_n upon_o they_o which_o falsify_v and_o corrupt_v the_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o know_v how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n our_o god_n will_v be_v worship_v of_o we_o whosoever_o invent_v any_o manner_n of_o idolatry_n whosoever_o devise_v any_o manner_n of_o superstition_n he_o make_v idol_n and_o that_o be_v not_o to_o serve_v y_z e_o living_n god_n but_o rather_o to_o follow_v their_o own_o fancy_n and_o imagination_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v all_o acourse_v you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o expound_v this_o place_n and_o moses_n mean_v to_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o this_o place_n such_o a_o particular_a as_o wherein_o we_o may_v most_o evident_o see_v a_o intolerable_a corrupt_a of_o y_z e_z worship_n of_o god_n for_o when_o god_n be_v so_o misshape_a in_o any_o paint_n or_o in_o any_o puppet_n or_o in_o any_o other_o piece_n of_o wood_n or_o stone_n that_o man_n will_v there_o represent_v his_o image_n &_o say_v it_o be_v a_o resemblance_n of_o he_o it_o be_v too_o gross_a and_o outrageous_a deal_n indeed_o man_n think_v not_o so_o as_o we_o see_v in_o popery_n how_o they_o say_v lo_o yonder_o be_v god_n and_o a_o remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o be_v they_o not_o so_o brutish_a that_o they_o think_v there_o be_v no_o divine_a

his_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v y_o t_o god_n be_v a_o immortal_a and_o infinite_a spirit_n 4.11_o the_o fountain_n of_o life_n do_v know_v that_o he_o have_v too_o great_a injury_n do_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v represent_v by_o a_o dead_a thing_n and_o by_o a_o corruptible_a creature_n and_o to_o have_v his_o name_n give_v unto_o a_o puppet_n as_o if_o he_o be_v but_o a_o creature_n &_o less_o than_o we_o they_o therefore_o which_o have_v but_o a_o small_a taste_n of_o this_o doctrine_n do_v abhor_v the_o set_n up_o of_o a_o idol_n and_o the_o imagination_n of_o serve_v god_n by_o go_v

well_o mark_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o moses_n mean_v in_o this_o place_n to_o make_v idolatry_n more_o detestable_a according_a to_o that_o rule_n which_o we_o have_v heretofore_o expound_v yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o note_v in_o this_o place_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n can_v not_o suffer_v his_o infinite_a majesty_n to_o be_v represent_v under_o stone_n wood_n paint_v or_o in_o any_o other_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n what_o must_v we_o do_v then_o when_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o must_v lift_v uppe_o our_o mind_n above_o the_o world_n and_o know_v that_o we_o may_v not_o stick_v fast_o here_o below_o nor_o make_v any_o idol_n or_o puppet_n unto_o he_o for_o he_o can_v not_o abide_v it_o that_o be_v one_o point_n to_o be_v note_v second_o we_o have_v also_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v serve_v nor_o worship_v after_o our_o own_o manner_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o walk_v according_a to_o his_o word_n without_o put_v any_o thing_n thereunto_o or_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o it_o so_o as_o all_o the_o invention_n which_o man_n have_v forge_v be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v set_v up_o as_o many_o idol_n indeed_o they_o make_v themselves_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v like_v well_o of_o that_o which_o they_o do_v but_o it_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a guess_n of_o they_o while_o they_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n unto_o y_fw-mi t_z which_o he_o like_v therefore_o they_o serve_v their_o own_o fancy_n &_o not_o the_o live_a god_n who_o have_v give_v they_o such_o a_o rule_n as_o he_o will_v have_v observe_v and_o therefore_o at_o a_o word_n all_o the_o worshippings_fw-mi of_o god_n as_o they_o term_v they_o wherein_o man_n be_v so_o devout_a after_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o whereof_o they_o have_v no_o warrant_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o say_v this_o he_o have_v command_v i_o be_v nothing_o but_o idol_n of_o their_o own_o forge_n let_v this_o be_v well_o

not_o be_v wilful_a stubborn_a but_o indeed_o
yea_o even_o perfect_o and_o in_o very_a substance_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o shadow_n or_o figure_n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v full_o reveil_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

and_o be_v so_o honour_v of_o we_o that_o we_o stick_v thorough_o to_o he_o and_o rest_n whole_o upon_o he_o now_o the_o jew_n deny_v he_o and_o utter_o disclaim_v he_o by_o mean_a whereof_o they_o

therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n allege_v this_o text_n 10.19_o rom._n 10.19_o say_v see_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v provoke_v god_n wrath_n by_o refuse_v to_o embrace_v his_o
