thou_o have_v thou_o not_o procure_v these_o thing_n unto_o thyself_o because_o thou_o have_v forsake_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n when_o he_o lead_v thou_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v read_v all_o these_o four_o verse_n together_o because_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o first_o of_o they_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o thus_o miserable_a in_o their_o first_o estate_n but_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o new_a cause_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a verse_n he_o set_v down_o the_o cause_n itself_o in_o the_o fourteen_o verse_n therefore_o he_o ask_v say_v be_v israel_n a_o servant_n or_o a_o servant_n bear_v in_o the_o house_n god_n have_v adopt_v this_o people_n to_o himself_o and_o have_v promise_v he_o will_v show_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_a bountiful_a unto_o they_o that_o they_o

and_o 26.4_o and_o 28.14_o we_o see_v then_o what_o israel_n condition_n be_v at_o the_o first_o true_o most_o excellent_a as_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n above_o all_o other_o nation_n in_o regard_n israel_n be_v god_n dear_a darling_n god_n heritage_n and_o a_o holy_a and_o royal_a priesthood_n exod._n 19.5_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o admire_v israel_n estate_n now_o and_o ask_v as_o of_o a_o thing_n strange_a and_o unwonted_a be_v israel_n a_o servant_n sure_o he_o be_v once_o free_a above_o all_o other_o nation_n for_o he_o be_v god_n elder_a son_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o cause_n seek_v out_o then_o how_o he_o be_v become_v thus_o miserable_a for_o afterward_o he_o say_v the_o lion_n roar_v and_o yell_v upon_o he_o his_o city_n be_v burn_v or_o destroy_v his_o land_n be_v make_v desolate_a last_o he_o add_v in_o vers_fw-la 17._o be_v not_o this_o do_v unto_o thou_o again_o this_o interrogation_n be_v as_o much_o as_o a_o double_a affirmation_n for_o it_o put_v the_o thing_n out_o of_o question_n as_o we_o use_v to_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v what_o cause_n can_v thou_o allege_v that_o thou_o be_v in_o this_o woeful_a take_n and_o that_o every_o

not_o proceed_v from_o thy_o own_o wickedness_n we_o now_o see_v the_o prophet_n meaning_n but_o that_o we_o may_v yet_o understand_v he_o more_o thorough_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o god_n here_o call_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o the_o jew_n to_o mind_n to_o shame_v they_o withal_o in_o regard_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n then_o have_v receive_v so_o many_o

if_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n have_v not_o deceive_v thou_o in_o promise_v to_o deal_v liberal_o with_o thou_o his_o adopt_v of_o thou_o to_o be_v his_o son_n be_v no_o fabulous_a nor_o vain_a thing_n thou_o then_o shall_v certain_o have_v be_v the_o most_o happy_a nation_n in_o the_o world_n have_v not_o thy_o own_o wickedness_n procure_v unto_o thou_o the_o contrary_n now_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o prophet_n demand_n be_v israel_n a_o servant_n or_o bear_v in_o the_o house_n by_o nature_n indeed_o they_o be_v no_o whit_n better_o than_o any_o other_o nation_n but_o in_o regard_n god_n have_v choose_v they_o to_o be_v his_o peculiar_a inheritance_n and_o have_v give_v they_o so_o excellent_a a_o prerogative_n therefore_o the_o prophet_n now_o ask_v whether_o they_o be_v servant_n or_o no._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v whence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o see_v not_o that_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n shine_v in_o thou_o now_o which_o god_n once_o promise_v unto_o thou_o for_o this_o be_v certain_a god_n for_o his_o part_n deceive_v none_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v then_o that_o thou_o have_v by_o thy_o own_o desert_n procure_v unto_o thyself_o these_o misery_n and_o when_o he_o say_v why_o then_o be_v he_o spoil_v he_o show_v that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v deprive_v of_o god_n protection_n he_o shall_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n have_v be_v make_v a_o prey_n to_o the_o lust_n of_o his_o enemy_n he_o be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o spoil_n then_o only_o because_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o 32.30_o deut._n 32.30_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o

to_o flight_n but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o for_o in_o former_a time_n they_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o their_o enemy_n but_o contrariwise_o to_o drive_v they_o before_o they_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o they_o be_v thus_o captivate_v not_o of_o man_n that_o pursue_v they_o but_o of_o god_n also_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o place_n show_v that_o israel_n be_v not_o make_v a_o prey_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o god_n have_v leave_v they_o succourless_a in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o add_v the_o lion_n roar_v upon_o he_o it_o seem_v the_o prophet_n compare_v not_o israel_n enemy_n to_o lion_n simple_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o cruelty_n but_o rather_o by_o way_n of_o contempt_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v israel_n not_o only_o feel_v man_n his_o adversary_n but_o even_o wild_a and_o savage_a beast_n now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a reproach_n when_o god_n suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tear_v in_o piece_n by_o wild_a beast_n it_o be_v as_o much_o then_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v israel_n be_v thus_o miserable_o handle_v that_o he_o be_v not_o only_o expose_v to_o the_o power_n and_o will_n of_o man_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n that_o be_v

without_o any_o metaphor_n he_o add_v that_o his_o land_n be_v lay_v waist_n and_o his_o city_n burn_v without_o a_o inhabitant_n neither_o indeed_o do_v this_o suit_n either_o to_o lion_n or_o to_o

this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v can_v not_o have_v fall_v out_o unless_o israel_n have_v be_v forsake_v of_o god_n &_o consequent_o deprive_v also_o of_o his_o succour_n &_o protection_n to_o amplify_v this_o discourse_n he_o add_v also_o the_o child_n of_o noph_n and_o taphnos_n shall_v break_v thy_o head_n we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o that_o the_o israelite_n be_v wont_a to_o seek_v for_o help_v

second_o and_o three_o time_n to_o repentance_n which_o mercy_n as_o we_o see_v he_o daily_o exercise_v in_o the_o church_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o the_o prophet_n repeat_v the_o same_o

for_o their_o exile_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o divorce_n now_o he_o say_v i_o be_o your_o husband_n for_o howsoever_o you_o have_v by_o the_o breach_n of_o your_o faith_n much_o offend_v i_o yet_o do_v i_o still_o continue_v my_o first_o plea_n i_o be_o your_o husband_n we_o now_o understand_v the_o prophet_n drift_n and_o meaning_n otherwise_o the_o israelite_n may_v have_v be_v so_o forestall_v

have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o god_n further_o than_o as_o in_o respect_n that_o i_o be_o descend_v of_o the_o race_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v not_o i_o alone_o then_o for_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o

to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o in_o the_o papacy_n who_o with_o a_o settle_a obstinacy_n resist_v god_n be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o think_v to_o escape_v among_o the_o multitude_n yea_o even_o among_o ourselves_o we_o see_v how_o one_o hinder_v another_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o always_o to_o remember_v this_o doctrine_n namely_o when_o god_n stretch_v forth_o his_o
