what_o other_o thing_n have_v this_o be_v than_o to_o betray_v his_o daughter_n therefore_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o he_o promise_v rash_o for_o a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o foresee_v those_o thing_n which_o may_v happen_v how_o be_v it_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n such_o wicked_a and_o flagitious_a man_n among_o the_o israelite_n for_o as_o long_o as_o those_o elder_n live_v which_o govern_v the_o publicque_a wealth_n together_o with_o josua_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v declare_v in_o this_o history_n the_o people_n fear_v god_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o use_v to_o put_v those_o to_o death_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v guilty_a of_o very_o grievous_a crime_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n lest_o any_o such_o man_n shall_v conquer_v the_o city_n to_o who_o for_o that_o act_n hacsah_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o wife_n of_o duty_n but_o if_o there_o remain_v certain_a small_a and_o common_a fault_n in_o he_o which_o have_v conquer_v it_o the_o same_o may_v be_v recompense_v by_o his_o other_o virtue_n for_o there_o be_v be_v none_o so_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a but_o that_o some_o time_n he_o may_v fall_v moreover_o there_o be_v some_o hope_n of_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o the_o conqueror_n may_v be_v so_o nigh_o of_o kin_n as_o peradventure_o this_o othoniel_n be_v that_o he_o can_v not_o marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o chaleb_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v that_o at_o the_o least_o in_o that_o part_n it_o be_v a_o rash_a promise_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o can_v be_v accuse_v of_o rashness_n promise_n a_o constant_a rule_n of_o all_o humane_a promise_n for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o promise_v aught_o among_o the_o godly_a so_o far_o forth_o to_o be_v of_o force_n as_o they_o do_v agree_v

for_o a_o most_o constant_a rule_n we_o gather_v also_o hereby_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o go_v about_o a_o wife_n by_o just_a way_n and_o mean_n as_o we_o see_v othoniel_n now_o to_o have_v do_v

not_o by_o riches_n not_o by_o power_n or_o nobility_n but_o by_o virtue_n now_o of_o day_n they_o do_v not_o so_o seek_v how_o a_o son_n in_o a_o law_n shall_v be_v seek_v and_o therefore_o the_o miserable_a daughter_n be_v very_o often_o time_n betray_v by_o their_o parent_n and_o very_o many_o marriage_n have_v unhappy_a success_n wherefore_o i_o can_v not_o discommend_v the_o say_n of_o themistocles_n themistocles_n the_o say_n of_o themistocles_n who_o be_v demand_v why_o he_o have_v prefer_v a_o poor_a man_n to_o be_v his_o son_n in_o law_n before_o a_o scotfree_a and_o wealthy_a

otherwise_o of_o duty_n to_o have_v do_v to_o set_v forth_o unto_o they_o some_o reward_n for_o we_o see_v that_o chaleb_n do_v so_o now_o and_o also_o saul_n when_o he_o promise_v his_o daughter_n to_o he_o which_o can_v kill_v goliath_n and_o we_o remember_v christ_n have_v promise_v they_o a_o hundred_o fold_n in_o this_o life_n for_o good_a &_o honest_a action_n be_v of_o themselves_o to_o be_v seek_v for_o which_o for_o his_o sake_n shall_v leave_v father_n and_o mother_n child_n and_o brother_n wherefore_o we_o must_v know_v that_o good_a &_o honest_a action_n be_v by_o themselves_o sufficient_a to_o be_v seek_v for_o for_o asmuch_o as_o in_o this_o world_n nothing_o can_v happen_v more_o sweater_n than_o to_o obey_v god_n &_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o be_v join_v unto_o he_o in_o live_v upright_o according_a to_o his_o commandment_n wherefore_o admit_v we_o shall_v obtain_v no_o other_o thing_n yet_o a_o sufficient_a reward_n &_o gain_n shall_v be_v render_v unto_o we_o gift_n why_o god_n set_v forth_o reward_n and_o gift_n if_o we_o may_v have_v a_o quiet_a and_o pacify_v conscience_n and_o be_v inward_o fill_v with_o spiritual_a joy_n but_o god_n such_o be_v his_o goodness_n will_v moreover_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o gift_n and_o reward_n for_o he_o see_v the_o disposition_n &_o nature_n of_o a_o man_n to_o be_v feable_v and_o flow_v to_o all_o

need_v if_o we_o have_v continue_v perfect_a and_o absolute_a as_o we_o be_v create_v who_o i_o pray_v you_o need_v with_o reward_n to_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o drink_v when_o he_o be_v thirsty_a or_o to_o eat_v when_o he_o be_v hungry_a sure_o no_o body_n wherefore_o neither_o need_n man_n if_o they_o hunger_v and_o thru_v for_o righteousness_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v a_o reward_n to_o

commandment_n promise_n and_o threatnynge_n be_v add_v in_o the_o law_n to_o the_o commandment_n wherefore_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o necessary_a unto_o man_n because_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n have_v wax_v cold_a from_o a_o vehement_a affection_n and_o zeal_n towards_o godly_a and_o holy_a work_n we_o be_v altogether_o dull_a and_o sluggishe_a to_o the_o office_n of_o

be_v find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o may_v conclude_v without_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o than_o be_v that_o which_o we_o do_v to_o be_v allow_v when_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o example_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o rule_v of_o the_o scripture_n or_o else_o with_o the_o excellent_a act_n of_o holy_a man_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v good_a for_o reward_n sake_n but_o now_o must_v we_o see_v whether_o he_o which_o do_v good_a work_n and_o perform_v the_o which_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n aught_o to_o be_v move_v with_o

that_o this_o must_v be_v the_o first_o ground_n that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o only_o appoint_v to_o some_o certain_a end_n when_o as_o god_n do_v nothing_o rash_o or_o by_o chance_n but_o also_o he_o

be_v encourage_v to_o bring_v this_o thing_n to_o pass_v that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reward_n or_o gift_n come_v unto_o they_o yet_o ought_v they_o to_o enterprise_v it_o moreover_o

have_v say_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o cor._n who_o go_v on_o warfarre_o at_o his_o own_o cost_n but_o now_o to_o descend_v to_o thing_n more_o particular_a when_o any_o man_n temper_v himself_o from_o any_o grievous_a wicked_a act_n he_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o first_o to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v mete_v then_o that_o thereby_o he_o may_v escape_v either_o eternal_a or_o civil_a punishemente_n moreover_o that_o he_o may_v not_o offend_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o brethren_n and_o pluck_v they_o back_o from_o a_o holy_a

to_o embrace_v the_o mean_a end_n for_o the_o last_o and_o chief_a goodness_n neither_o be_v we_o forbid_v but_o that_o we_o may_v sometime_o wish_v for_o meat_n drink_n and_o cloth_n and_o such_o

profit_v sometime_o the_o parent_n that_o they_o shall_v pertain_v not_o only_o to_o his_o glory_n but_o also_o to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o parent_n for_o oftentimes_o he_o punish_v the_o

the_o gileadite_n answer_n that_o they_o do_v so_o in_o deed_n but_o as_o before_o they_o can_v expel_v he_o so_o also_o now_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o call_v he_o home_o again_o and_o
