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

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

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

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

that_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o father_n may_v be_v the_o better_o print_v in_o our_o mind_n to_o beware_v that_o we_o follow_v they_o not_o in_o that_o behalf_n you_o see_v then_o that_o by_o this_o

according_a to_o their_o own_o reason_n they_o shall_v find_v thing_n to_o grudge_v at_o every_o turn_n of_o a_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o venomous_a tongue_n rush_v out_o

because_o the_o same_o surmount_v their_o capacity_n but_o if_o god_n justice_n be_v too_o high_a for_o we_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v abase_v therefore_o if_o his_o ordinance_n be_v above_o our_o

all_o such_o rascal_n for_o one_o of_o the_o common_a objection_n that_o such_o beast_n do_v make_v be_v this_o how_o so_o if_o man_n have_v not_o freewill_n to_o take_v or_o refuse_v the_o thing_n

that_o they_o know_v not_o but_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o that_o which_o moses_n rehearse_v here_o the_o message_n that_o he_o send_v to_o sehon_n king_n of_o the_o amorrhytes_n come_v of_o god_n

then_o special_o observe_v this_o lesson_n when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o prayer_n be_v faith_n and_o what_o import_v that_o even_o that_o we_o shall_v hear_v god_n speak_v if_o we_o pray_v at_o all_o adventure_n doubt_v whether_o we_o shall_v obtain_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o require_v or_o no_o â—_o james._n â—_o

be_v the_o point_n where_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o christian_n do_v differre_fw-la from_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o infidel_n for_o the_o infidel_n and_o unbeliever_n may_v well_o flee_v unto_o

not_o upon_o the_o promise_n but_o as_o for_o we_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o god_n &_o that_o he_o be_v much_o ready_a to_o grant_v than_o we_o be_v to_o require_v yea_o and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o pitiful_a and_o have_v such_o a_o respect_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o necessity_n to_o relieve_v they_o 〈…〉_o â—sa_fw-la 〈…〉_o that_o he_o even_o prevent_v us._n we_o must_v be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o this_o when_o we_o pray_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v it_o we_o must_v not_o bear_v ourselves_o on_o hand_n that_o we_o hold_v god_n bind_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v make_v he_o to_o grant_v all_o our_o desire_n for_o what_o a_o malapertnesse_n be_v that_o and_o what_o a_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o if_o every_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o trow_v god_n will_v do_v whatsoever_o i_o listen_v to_o command_v he_o but_o we_o must_v rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n you_o see_v then_o that_o faith_n be_v requisite_a in_o our_o prayer_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n thrust_v forth_o himself_o upon_o his_o own_o head_n but_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n allure_v we_o unto_o he_o we_o go_v unto_o he_o bold_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o us._n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v note_v now_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n be_v faulty_a if_o they_o be_v not_o rule_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o presume_v to_o ask_v of_o he_o whatsoever_o come_v in_o our_o head_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n for_o we_o to_o trust_v unto_o in_o go_v to_o it_o so_o without_o advice_n and_o therefore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o pass_v our_o bound_n we_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n further_v by_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o in_o pray_v we_o must_v always_o consider_v what_o god_n permit_v we_o &_o what_o his_o will_n be_v y_z t_z we_o shall_v ask_v of_o he_o and_o that_o we_o must_v ever_o have_v this_o modesty_n and_o soberness_n with_o we_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o he_o as_o though_o his_o spirit_n speak_v in_o we_o and_o indyte_v unto_o we_o the_o very_a form_n of_o our_o prayer_n 6.9_o matt._n 6.9_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v us._n now_o then_o we_o see_v that_o all_o such_o as_o take_v leave_n to_o pray_v what_o they_o listen_v do_v not_o direct_v themselves_o to_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o likewise_o disappoint_v of_o their_o desire_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o in_o all_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v well_o advise_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v lawful_a according_a to_o god_n word_n but_o now_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v without_o

god_n pardon_v the_o fault_n and_o retain_v the_o punishment_n still_o as_o they_o have_v surmise_v say_v that_o when_o god_n forgive_v man_n their_o sin_n he_o cease_v not_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o execute_v his_o rigour_n upon_o they_o as_o a_o judge_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o but_o god_n chastise_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n after_o he_o have_v forgive_v they_o howbeit_o not_o in_o way_n of_o

behold_v say_v he_o god_n call_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v fellow_n with_o the_o angel_n &_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v very_a citizen_n of_o his_o kingdom_n see_v it_o be_v so_o say_v he_o let_v we_o enter_v into_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n for_o our_o god_n be_v a_o consume_a fire_n it_o shall_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n that_o there_o be_v some_o contrariety_n in_o these_o two_o say_n that_o we_o shall_v come_v bold_o and_o after_o a_o assure_a manner_n to_o our_o god_n and_o also_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o consume_a fire_n but_o both_o these_o agree_v very_o well_o together_o for_o first_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o the_o majesty_n of_o

follow_v the_o doctrine_n that_o our_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o whereby_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o put_v this_o

to_o perceive_v that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o to_o we_o again_o in_o far_o great_a perfection_n than_o he_o do_v to_o y_z e_z father_n of_o old_a time_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o

they_o to_o make_v any_o image_n howbeit_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o curse_a inclination_n it_o be_v behooveful_a that_o this_o forbid_v shall_v be_v add_v as_o straight_o as_o we_o see_v it_o here_o and_o it_o be_v well_o for_o we_o that_o it_o be_v so_o for_o this_o sin_n be_v root_v as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o very_a bone_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o god_n tell_v we_o not_o that_o he_o can_v

own_o will_v we_o can_v never_o serve_v god_n so_o pure_o as_o to_o imagine_v nothing_o of_o he_o but_o as_o may_v beseem_v he_o and_o herewithal_o we_o see_v also_o whereunto_o our_o good_a

what_o end_n do_v they_o make_v they_o but_o to_o serve_v god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o the_o great_a devotion_n and_o be_v the_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v grant_v their_o request_n therefore_o by_o this_o mean_n man_n may_v shroud_v themselves_o under_o colour_n of_o good_a intent_n but_o we_o see_v on_o the_o contrary_a part_n that_o god_n abhor_v it_o we_o see_v how_o he_o utter_v the_o grievous_a sentence_n of_o condemnation_n against_o all_o such_o as_o proceed_v to_o behave_v themselves_o so_o after_o their_o own_o imagination_n they_o may_v well_o enough_o say_v and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o deed_n that_o their_o meaning_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n but_o what_o for_o that_o he_o accept_v no_o such_o service_n but_o rather_o curse_v it_o and_o utter_o mislike_v it_o

then_o how_o there_o be_v two_o point_n for_o we_o to_o remember_v in_o this_o text_n the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v natural_o too_o much_o give_v to_o idolatry_n we_o must_v always_o set_v this_o threat_n of_o god_n before_o our_o eye_n that_o we_o take_v not_o upon_o we_o to_o mingle_v any_o thing_n with_o his_o word_n or_o to_o devise_v any_o worship_v of_o image_n

be_o thy_o everlasting_a god_n yea_o even_o the_o strong_a or_o rather_o mighty_a god_n here_o again_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o idol_n for_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o to_o correct_v

word_n that_o he_o use_v come_v of_o strength_n now_o than_o whereas_o he_o term_v himself_o jealous_a no_o doubt_n but_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o can_v abide_v the_o violate_v of_o his_o

whole_a holy_a scripture_n true_o if_o we_o have_v but_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a reason_n we_o will_v be_v jealous_a over_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o god_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v need_v no_o

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

and_o so_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o although_o we_o have_v god_n word_n â—â—â—_o yet_o will_v god_n have_v pity_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n according_a to_o saint_n paul_n allege_v

whereby_o he_o utter_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o as_o be_v say_v already_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o moses_n do_v in_o this_o place_n attribute_v the_o title_n of_o faithful_a

that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v glorify_v he_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v silly_a frail_a creature_n yet_o we_o may_v say_v

it_o seem_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v they_o hate_v he_o to_o his_o face_n he_o mean_v to_o say_v that_o we_o spite_n god_n or_o hate_n god_n to_o his_o face_n when_o we_o fall_v out_o into_o

and_o true_o this_o be_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o present_a place_n if_o we_o read_v all_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n throughout_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n

that_o man_n have_v devise_v of_o their_o own_o head_n we_o ought_v well_o to_o mark_v that_o but_o yet_o be_v not_o that_o enough_o for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o which_o have_v not_o a_o

it_o may_v well_o be_v so_o but_o yet_o there_o lie_v another_o crime_n shroud_v underneath_o namely_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n word_n yea_o there_o lurk_v secret_a malice_n hypocrisy_n and_o

that_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v commit_v all_o manner_n of_o lewdness_n &_o blear_v out_o their_o tongue_n against_o god_n and_o yet_o there_o may_v never_o have_v be_v any_o sufficient_a witness_n

and_o we_o see_v how_o needful_a this_o admonition_n be_v for_o us._n for_o man_n will_v ever_o shrink_v back_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a &_o if_o there_o be_v any_o apparent_a colour_n to_o hide_v

god_n and_o let_v we_o not_o tarry_v till_o god_n to_o our_o cost_n do_v bewray_v y_z e_o lewdness_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n &_o so_o we_o be_v catch_v in_o some_o calamity_n but_o let_v we_o

to_o be_v soothsayer_n and_o prophet_n but_o that_o be_v altogether_o in_o the_o name_n of_o idol_n according_a to_o the_o city_n wherein_o they_o dwell_v wheresoever_o there_o be_v a_o temple_n there_o be_v a_o jew_n that_o say_v we_o have_v the_o foreknowledge_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v even_o by_o birth_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o sell_v their_o prophecy_n as_o these_o

even_o by_o the_o profane_a history_n when_o they_o be_v once_o become_v idolater_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a unshamefastnesse_n of_o they_o to_o make_v such_o boast_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o

they_o will_v needs_o borrow_v the_o mean_n of_o idolater_n and_o we_o see_v in_o manner_n the_o like_a altogether_o nowadays_o in_o the_o popedom_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o monk_n boast_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o office_n of_o pray_v for_o y_z e_z whole_a church_n and_o yet_o in_o y_z e_z mean_v while_o they_o will_v sing_v a_o mass_n of_o our_o lady_n and_o a_o mass_n of_o such_o a_o saint_n &_o such_o a_o saint_n and_o so_o idol_n be_v intermingle_v with_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o live_a god_n for_o although_o y_fw-fr e_z saint_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o be_v no_o idol_n yet_o do_v they_o make_v they_o so_o which_o do_v so_o abuse_v their_o name_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o both_o these_o sort_n of_o

or_o no_o we_o have_v his_o word_n we_o can_v lie_v and_o he_o will_v give_v we_o the_o understanding_n thereof_o if_o we_o be_v lowly_a and_o meek_a and_o if_o we_o submit_v ourselves_o whole_o

that_o when_o a_o false_a prophet_n be_v find_v out_o by_o trial_n than_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o he_o speak_v upon_o presumption_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o he_o here_o be_v

such_o deal_n i_o say_v will_v be_v count_v great_a injury_n then_o if_o a_o mortal_a man_n avaunce_v himself_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n as_o for_o example_n if_o i_o step_v up_o into_o y_o e_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 man_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n the_o better_a yet_o nevertheless_o if_o a_o man_n have_v rather_o sustain_v this_o reproach_n than_o to_o take_v wife_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v discharge_v thereof_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n show_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n in_o be_v grieve_v when_o the_o family_n be_v not_o

therefore_o if_o any_o have_v rather_o to_o suffer_v such_o shame_n than_o to_o take_v a_o wife_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o come_v to_o declare_v it_o public_o but_o we_o must_v now_o return_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

nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o

to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n

no_o force_n of_o we_o to_o marry_v against_o our_o will_n but_o of_o the_o win_n of_o wife_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o church_n we_o may_v always_o

what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o effect_n as_o touch_v this_o law_n and_o now_o we_o see_v that_o although_o it_o be_v no_o long_o in_o use_n yet_o may_v we_o gather_v some_o profit_n

the_o wisdom_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o &_o the_o discretion_n to_o apply_v it_o well_o unto_o our_o use_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o two_o man_n be_v at_o strife_n and_o one_o of_o their_o wife_n come_v to_o deliver_v her_o husband_n and_o take_v his_o adversary_n by_o the_o privity_n her_o hand_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o this_o law_n betoken_v in_o effect_n that_o honesty_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v

in_o effect_n whereat_o god_n amed_z in_o this_o law_n and_o so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o under_o one_o example_n he_o mean_v to_o give_v we_o a_o general_a instruction_n as_o touch_v all_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o now_o as_o concern_v the_o special_a case_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o we_o see_v how_o the_o woman_n may_v have_v somewhat_o for_o her_o excuse_n

throughout_o in_o all_o point_n and_o not_o in_o part_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o afore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v knit_v his_o commandment_n together_o to_o

notwithstanding_o must_v god_n remain_v always_o firm_a in_o his_o purpose_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n also_o speak_v 11.29_o rom._n 11.29_o say_v that_o the_o call_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o

even_o so_o be_v their_o punishment_n always_o the_o sore_a until_o they_o come_v even_o to_o the_o extremity_n insomuch_o as_o god_n seem_v even_o to_o have_v forsake_v they_o and_o to_o have_v cut_v they_o off_o from_o his_o house_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v so_o then_o wrought_v he_o after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o there_o remain_v yet_o some_o seed_n hide_v under_o the_o grounnde_v and_o

as_o often_o therefore_o as_o god_n punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n be_v it_o that_o each_o of_o we_o have_v his_o private_a disease_n or_o wretchedness_n or_o any_o other_o token_n of_o the_o wrath_n

do_v always_o utter_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v first_o see_v the_o blessing_n and_o have_v

well_o weigh_v for_o moses_n show_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v toward_o we_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o handle_v we_o gentle_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o take_v not_o any_o pleasure_n in_o deal_v with_o we_o roughlie_o thus_o much_o for_o one_o point_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o mean_v to_o do_v the_o jew_n to_o understand_v that_o see_v they_o have_v have_v experience_n as_o well_o of_o the_o one_o as_o of_o the_o other_o that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o well_o of_o god_n favour_n and_o of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o

which_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v as_o for_o example_n the_o jew_n be_v teach_v that_o if_o they_o serve_v god_n and_o obey_v he_o he_o will_v keep_v they_o as_o

of_o god_n promise_n for_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o give_v no_o credit_n to_o that_o which_o god_n speak_v when_o we_o continue_v like_o reed_n shake_v with_o every_o wind_n and_o tremble_v

we_o show_v our_o weakness_n and_o we_o give_v good_a proof_n that_o we_o believe_v not_o that_o which_o god_n have_v speak_v we_o may_v well_o allege_v and_o say_v as_o for_o myself_o i_o hold_v

our_o duty_n in_o follow_v our_o vocation_n ne_o walk_v steady_o when_o all_o thing_n seem_v forlorn_a to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o learn_v that_o faith_n be_v join_v with_o such_o power_n as_o

of_o the_o song_n but_o be_v only_o the_o writer_n or_o recorder_n thereof_o at_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n now_o then_o like_v as_o a_o clerk_n of_o a_o office_n write_v what_o be_v appoint_v he_o

which_o thing_n saint_n peter_n allege_v also_o and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a say_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v serve_v we_o to_o great_a purpose_n for_o we_o be_v abash_v when_o we_o

for_o we_o to_o be_v able_a to_o talk_v of_o it_o but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o inward_a harken_v unto_o god_n and_o every_o of_o we_o must_v talk_v of_o it_o to_o himself_o cheaw_v as_o it_o be_v

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

of_o the_o holy_a thing_n and_o a_o disfeat_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n therefore_o that_o if_o we_o come_v hither_o to_o sermon_n and_o yet_o

again_o let_v they_o observe_v it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v neither_o keep_v god_n word_n nor_o do_v it_o until_o he_o have_v write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o moses_n presuppose_v that_o god_n will_v shed_v out_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o the_o people_n so_o they_o shut_v not_o the_o door_n against_o he_o but_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v the_o grace_n which_o our_o lord_n

be_v bring_v unto_o us._n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o moses_n treat_v here_o of_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n word_n god_n also_o do_v bind_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n with_o

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

and_o do_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a to_o glorify_v his_o name_n yet_o if_o the_o same_o proceed_v not_o of_o love_n so_o as_o our_o heart_n yield_v unto_o he_o free_o and_o without_o gainsay_v he_o utter_o disalow_v it_o and_o such_o service_n be_v not_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o for_o he_o love_v he_o that_o give_v with_o a_o free_a will_n and_o pure_a affection_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n treat_v of_o almesdeede_n 9.7_o 2._o cor._n 9.7_o see_v then_o that_o god_n love_v he_o which_o give_v with_o a_o cheerful_a courage_n thereby_o he_o show_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v spend_v all_o his_o good_n yet_o shall_v it_o not_o boot_n he_o at_o all_o as_o to_o godward_o unless_o he_o have_v a_o delight_n in_o well_o do_v and_o why_o because_o god_n have_v command_v it_o and_o we_o

and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o
word_n love_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o this_o text_n notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o fellow_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o honour_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o as_o our_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o will_v observe_v god_n law_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o must_v not_o consider_v he_o all_o only_a in_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o master_n thereby_o to_o yield_v he_o reverence_v but_o we_o must_v also_o set_v before_o we_o the_o title_n of_o father_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v to_o win_v we_o to_o he_o by_o gentleness_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v tie_v unto_o he_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o he_o by_o his_o prophet_n if_o i_o be_v your_o master_n 1.6_o mal._n 1.6_o where_o be_v my_o fear_n and_o if_o i_o be_v your_o father_n where_o be_v my_o love_n in_o deed_n he_o set_v down_o honour_n in_o that_o place_n to_o betoken_v that_o a_o servant_n ought_v to_o fear_v his_o master_n but_o yet_o immediate_o after_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n love_v also_o of_o purpose_n to_o show_v what_o honour_n the_o child_n yield_v to_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o first_o point_n of_o serve_v god_n aright_o be_v to_o be_v lead_v unto_o he_o yea_o and_o to_o be_v lead_v thither_o upon_o

that_o mean_a we_o may_v no_o more_o be_v give_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o say_v that_o we_o must_v first_o know_v

unto_o he_o ere_o we_o can_v endeavour_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o righteousness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v touch_v before_o

why_o moses_n say_v express_o know_v thou_o that_o thy_o god_n be_v the_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v consider_v in_o what_o state_n the_o wretched_a heathen_a man_n and_o such_o as_o give_v

of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v commit_v unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o put_v such_o difference_n between_o the_o live_a god_n and_o all_o the_o idol_n which_o man_n have_v forge_v of_o their_o
