all_o other_o thing_n belong_v both_o to_o their_o call_n and_o to_o their_o profession_n they_o have_v still_o task_v themselves_o and_o apply_v their_o task_n through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v work_v and_o labour_v in_o they_o fear_v least_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v do_v but_o little_a or_o nothing_o and_o in_o the_o do_n of_o their_o task_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v how_o sluggish_a they_o be_v and_o what_o a_o number_n of_o let_n and_o lion_n lie_v in_o their_o way_n as_o the_o proverb_n say_v that_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o prick_v themselves_o forward_o and_o then_o they_o drag_v their_o leg_n after_o they_o too_o in_o this_o demand_n we_o be_v as_o we_o see_v accuse_v and_o indict_v of_o make_v great_a delay_n of_o those_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n a_o matter_n sure_o very_o worthy_a to_o be_v expostulate_v that_o for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a token_n of_o a_o soul_n that_o fear_v not_o god_n to_o drive_v off_o so_o long_a the_o do_v of_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o word_n require_v to_o be_v do_v for_o if_o they_o fear_v god_n they_o will_v be_v more_o diligent_a know_v that_o god_n be_v able_a every_o minute_n to_o cast_v they_o down_o to_o hell_n and_o to_o press_v they_o with_o his_o judgement_n some_o go_v on_o for_o all_o this_o and_o say_v the_o time_n of_o their_o call_n be_v not_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o call_v yet_o although_o they_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o know_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n that_o they_o do_v evil_a yet_o they_o go_v on_o like_o desperate_a wretch_n make_v a_o mock_n at_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v they_o be_v not_o call_v yet_o when_o they_o be_v most_o evident_o convict_v in_o themselves_o &_o by_o themselves_o and_o be_v tell_v of_o it_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n to_o be_v merciful_a to_o they_o in_o that_o and_o so_o they_o continue_v still_o in_o their_o rebellion_n bathe_v and_o rot_v in_o their_o sin_n like_o naaman_n the_o assyrian_a who_o say_v god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o in_o this_o for_o though_o he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o go_v into_o his_o rimmon_n yet_o he_o must_v go_v in_o and_o do_v as_o his_o master_n do_v and_o god_n must_v dispense_v with_o he_o in_o that_o many_o such_o naaman_n there_o be_v still_o which_o have_v one_o rimmon_n or_o other_o that_o they_o know_v of_o and_o yet_o they_o sleep_v on_o still_o in_o their_o belove_a sin_n some_o in_o usury_n some_o in_o whore_v some_o in_o steal_v some_o in_o swear_v some_o in_o

some_o in_o their_o ambitious_a and_o vainglorious_a attempt_n and_o some_o in_o one_o sin_n and_o some_o in_o another_o every_o one_o have_v his_o rimmon_n and_o think_v in_o his_o base_a conceit_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o negligent_a in_o punish_v of_o their_o presumptuous_a rebellion_n as_o they_o be_v in_o obey_v his_o holy_a commandment_n but_o let_v they_o take_v heed_n of_o dally_v too_o long_o with_o his_o majesty_n for_o he_o will_v not_o be_v mock_v though_o they_o be_v deceive_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v commend_v in_o the_o word_n for_o their_o diligence_n in_o obey_v the_o will_n of_o god_n when_o once_o they_o know_v what_o be_v his_o pleasure_n 23._o when_o abraham_n be_v command_v to_o circumcise_v himself_o and_o all_o the_o male_a that_o be_v in_o his_o family_n he_o may_v have_v seek_v many_o toy_n to_o drive_v off_o the_o time_n as_o that_o he_o have_v many_o soul_n in_o his_o house_n himself_o be_v 99_o year_n old_a but_o he_o circumcise_v they_o all_o present_o that_o self_n same_o day_n 14._o so_o when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o cast_v out_o his_o son_n ishmael_n over_o night_n he_o gate_n up_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o do_v it_o as_o he_o be_v command_v which_o may_v be_v a_o hook_n to_o pull_v out_o his_o very_a bowel_n to_o cast_v out_o his_o son_n be_v grievous_a unto_o he_o as_o the_o story_n show_v yet_o he_o do_v neither_o deny_v nor_o delay_v the_o do_n of_o it_o so_o in_o the_o 22._o of_o genesis_n we_o read_v that_o when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_v his_o only_a son_n isaac_n which_o may_v have_v cut_v his_o heart_n string_n in_o piece_n yet_o he_o delay_v not_o the_o time_n but_o rise_v up_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o go_v speedy_o about_o it_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o abraham_n love_v his_o son_n and_o he_o have_v cause_n so_o to_o do_v as_o dear_o as_o we_o love_v our_o sin_n and_o yet_o when_o god_n command_v he_o to_o cast_v out_o one_o and_o to_o kill_v the_o other_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v both_o how_o ready_a then_o shall_v we_o be_v to_o obey_v the_o lord_n when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o cast_v out_o not_o our_o child_n but_o our_o iniquity_n and_o to_o sacrifice_v not_o ou●_n son_n but_o our_o sin_n which_o else_o will_v cast_v we_o out_o of_o god_n favour_n and_o sacrifice_v we_o in_o the_o valley_n of_o gehinnom_n that_o be_v in_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n fire_n sure_o if_o we_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n as_o abraham_n do_v we_o will_v no_o more_o stick_v at_o the_o matter_n than_o he_o do_v many_o have_v receive_v as_o good_a a_o warrant_n from_o god_n and_o her_o majesty_n both_o of_o magistrate_n and_o prelate_n and_o pastor_n and_o people_n for_o the_o cast_v out_o of_o many_o abuse_n and_o corruption_n both_o in_o the_o church_n &_o commonwealth_n and_o in_o their_o private_a family_n as_o abraham_n have_v for_o that_o which_o he_o do_v but_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o half_o so_o forward_o as_o abraham_n be_v nay_o will_v to_o god_n they_o be_v not_o backward_o which_o show_v that_o though_o abraham_n be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a yet_o he_o be_v not_o
