be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o that_o we_o can_v bring_v nothing_o to_o serve_v in_o that_o matter_n and_o that_o yet_o we_o must_v always_o be_v keep_v under_o his_o guard_n and_o that_o he_o must_v perfect_v &_o accomplish_v that_o which_o he_o have_v begin_v let_v not_o this_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o let_v loose_v the_o bridle_n to_o our_o vice_n but_o rather_o to_o keep_v we_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o these_o be_v the_o hide_a letter_n &_o that_o it_o be_v a_o incomprehensible_a secret_n to_o know_v who_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n he_o add_v whosoever_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n let_v he_o depart_v from_o all_o iniquity_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o god_o will_v give_v we_o no_o occasion_n

choose_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o his_o face_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o have_v not_o choose_v we_o for_o that_o he_o find_v we_o such_o but_o when_o he_o choose_v we_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v such_o it_o behove_v therefore_o that_o we_o march_v thither_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o mark_n that_o we_o aim_v at_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n but_o now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_o in_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o that_o he_o

❧_o the_o three_o sermon_n of_o jacob_n and_o esau_n genesis_n 25._o 21_o now_o when_o rebecca_n have_v conceive_v the_o child_n strive_v within_o her_o belly_n and_o she_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o to_o what_o end_n be_v it_o or_o why_o do_v i_o live_v and_o she_o go_v to_o ask_v council_n of_o the_o lord_n 22_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o she_o there_o be_v two_o people_n in_o thy_o womb_n

be_v a_o thing_n that_o much_o trouble_v man_n spirit_n when_o they_o see_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o world_n so_o confuse_v that_o the_o most_o part_n do_v manifest_o despite_n god_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o they_o have_v conspire_v with_o the_o devil_n to_o the_o end_n to_o give_v over_o themselves_o to_o all_o mischief_n for_o this_o be_v think_v a_o thing_n great_o against_o reason_n that_o god_o shall_v create_v man_n to_o destroy_v they_o wherefore_o then_o be_v it_o that_o he_o suffer_v the_o great_a number_n so_o to_o fall_v if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v

that_o we_o may_v conceive_v for_o can_v not_o god_n remedy_v it_o why_o be_v it_o then_o that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o they_o that_o allege_v a_o simple_a permission_n that_o god_n lay_v the_o bridle_n upon_o every_o man_n neck_n and_o that_o every_o one_o guide_v himself_o according_a to_o his_o own_o free_a will_n yet_o they_o can_v well_o undo_v this_o knot_n to_o wit_n why_o god_n have_v not_o create_v man_n of_o another_o sort_n and_o wherefore_o he_o have_v suffer_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o weak_a yea_o and_o incline_v to_o evil_a and_o corruption_n and_o see_v that_o he_o know_v their_o infirmity_n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o he_o do_v not_o help_v they_o and_o provide_v they_o some_o remedy_n this_o therefore_o be_v to_o entangle_v ourselves_o in_o great_a torment_n &_o trouble_n but_o it_o behove_v that_o we_o go_v yet_o far_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o the_o scripture_n declare_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o do_v not_o perish_v save_v that_o which_o god_n preserve_v through_o his_o mere_a goodness_n and_o free_a bounty_n but_o now_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o god_n choose_v only_o the_o ten_o or_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o man_n and_o leave_v all_o the_o rest_n know_v well_o that_o they_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o hell_n and_o lose_v wherefore_o do_v he_o not_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o help_v they_o yea_o why_o have_v he_o ordain_v they_o to_o destruction_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v for_o mark_v the_o very_a word_n of_o solomon_n behold_v a_o sentence_n which_o drive_v we_o from_o such_o hard_a question_n and_o many_o be_v therein_o entangle_v as_o it_o be_v among_o thorn_n and_o further_o they_o thrust_v in_o themselves_o so_o far_o that_o they_o be_v altogether_o confound_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o

a_o whole_a people_n there_o be_v then_o many_o hypocrite_n the_o other_o be_v rebel_n other_o become_v whole_o brutish_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o profit_v but_o very_o little_a in_o this_o school_n although_o god_n note_v all_o without_o exception_n to_o who_o he_o speak_v and_o beyond_o all_o these_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v many_o who_o through_o contempt_n &_o ingratitude_n will_v shut_v against_o themselves_o the_o gate_n of_o salvation_n &_o will_v reject_v all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o not_o only_o this_o but_o man_n shall_v find_v deadly_a enemy_n of_o the_o doctrine_n although_o they_o be_v of_o the_o household_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n have_v say_v that_o god_n will_v gather_v his_o church_n out_o of_o the_o world_n &_o that_o he_o will_v have_v so_o great_a a_o people_n as_o shall_v be_v wonderful_a in_o stead_n of_o rejoice_v he_o afterward_o add_v alas_o my_o bowel_n now_o by_o this_o he_o show_v that_o when_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o all_o must_v flourish_v &_o prosper_v &_o that_o god_n must_v be_v glorify_v both_o of_o great_a &_o small_a &_o that_o his_o banner_n must_v be_v display_v to_o gather_v together_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o the_o end_n that_o with_o one_o accord_n all_o may_v serve_v god_n then_o he_o discover_v a_o secret_a mischief_n for_o the_o prophet_n cry_v not_o only_o alas_o the_o hand_n alas_o the_o leg_n but_o he_o cry_v out_o alas_o my_o bowel_n as_o though_o he_o will_v say_v this_o mischief_n be_v so_o root_v in_o the_o church_n that_o it_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v mingle_v of_o so_o sundry_a sort_n of_o man_n that_o she_o must_v nourish_v in_o she_o own_o belly_n she_o own_o enemy_n as_o we_o have_v see_v by_o the_o figure_n in_o rebecca_n now_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v therein_o every_o one_o see_v that_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o such_o fantasy_n we_o can_v have_v any_o resolution_n &_o the_o devil_n will_v thrust_v in_o himself_o amongst_o to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v we_o blaspheme_v against_o god_n or_o else_o to_o put_v such_o a_o bitterness_n into_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o shall_v seem_v rather_o to_o be_v block_n of_o wood_n then_o reasonable_a creature_n form_v according_a to_o god_n image_n as_o we_o do_v see_v the_o experience_n thereof_o in_o many_o people_n who_o do_v become_v as_o it_o be_v mad_a &_o rage_a against_o god_n because_o they_o can_v rid_v themselves_o from_o difficulty_n &_o doubt_n it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o to_o search_v out_o a_o remedy_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o can_v exempt_v full_o

that_o come_v from_o he_o and_o withal_o of_o isaac_n what_o isaac_n marry_v at_o xl_o year_n old_a &_o after_o that_o his_o wife_n be_v barren_a &_o that_o not_o for_o one_o year_n nor_o for_o two_o but_o even_o for_o xx_o year_n space_n he_o have_v no_o child_n god_n have_v say_v unto_o he_o i_o will_v multiply_v thy_o seed_n at_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n &_o as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n this_o be_v pronounce_v to_o his_o father_n abraham_n but_o this_o be_v of_o special_a favour_n towards_o he_o but_o he_o may_v have_v be_v before_o this_o time_n increce_v as_o he_o hope_v notwithstanding_o he_o see_v that_o his_o wife_n be_v barren_a &_o it_o seem_v as_o though_o godminded_a to_o mock_v he_o &_o declare_v unto_o he_o that_o thing_n which_o he_o hope_v for_o be_v nothing_o worth_a when_o therefore_o he_o see_v that_o his_o brother_n ishmael_n who_o have_v no_o root_n in_o the_o church_n who_o be_v a_o stranger_n from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n when_o he_o

his_o own_o house_n all_o alone_a and_o have_v none_o to_o succeed_v he_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o may_v be_v in_o great_a perplexity_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a for_o he_o to_o have_v be_v like_o his_o brother_n ishmael_n this_o be_v to_o make_v he_o give_v over_o all_o &_o after_o to_o be_v without_o hope_n and_o to_o have_v contemn_v god_n he_o have_v fall_v even_o to_o the_o uttermost_a extremity_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v hold_v in_o by_o a_o singular_a patience_n now_o then_o we_o have_v here_o to_o behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o condition_n of_o god_n church_n how_o it_o begin_v &_o how_o god_n uphold_v it_o and_o multiply_v it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v after_o so_o strange_a a_o fashion_n that_o it_o seem_v at_o all_o assay_n that_o that_o

goodly_a show_n &_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v they_o to_o increase_v to_o the_o eye_n the_o church_n shall_v be_v hide_v under_o the_o earth_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o earth_n full_o replenish_v of_o unbeliever_n of_o contemner_n of_o god_n and_o profane_a people_n and_o where_o shall_v a_o man_n find_v the_o faithful_a they_o shall_v be_v very_o thin_a sow_v and_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o perceive_v they_o they_o shall_v be_v despise_v man_n shall_v tread_v they_o almost_o under_o their_o foot_n and_o man_n shall_v think_v that_o god_n have_v no_o care_n of_o his_o

unto_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o isaac_n &_o of_o ishmael_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o strangeness_n of_o it_o trouble_v we_o not_o beyond_o measure_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v fight_v

people_n call_v he_o and_o yet_o now_o if_o we_o cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o in_o asia_n which_o be_v the_o great_a part_n

that_o we_o be_v so_o few_o people_n and_o that_o notwithstanding_o we_o will_v be_v hold_v for_o the_o church_n but_o for_o our_o part_n we_o be_v despise_v &_o reject_v and_o moreover_o we_o be_v

the_o church_n but_o see_v she_o see_v the_o one_o shut_v out_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o the_o lesser_a and_o inferior_a that_o god_n allow_v off_o she_o yield_v thereto_o now_o here_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n sometime_o will_v suffer_v those_o which_o have_v the_o more_o virtue_n and_o great_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o nevertheless_o to_o fall_v and_o that_o they_o who_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o advance_v as_o they_o shall_v outgo_v they_o i_o mean_v in_o some_o respect_n for_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n of_o isaac_n with_o rebeca_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o house_n of_o his_o father_n &_o have_v receive_v so_o great_a instruction_n in_o his_o youth_n have_v general_o a_o great_a faith_n than_o rebecca_n but_o behold_v a_o particular_a action_n wherein_o he_o fail_v and_o wherein_o his_o vice_n show_v itself_o and_o yet_o rebecca_n who_o late_o crawl_v out_o of_o a_o den_n of_o idolatry_n as_o we_o know_v that_o in_o her_o father_n house_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o superstition_n the_o country_n be_v altogether_o corrupt_v this_o poor_a woman_n although_o she_o know_v not_o god_n in_o her_o youth_n yet_o notwithstanding_o she_o be_v so_o well_o teach_v and_o instruct_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o she_o outgo_v her_o husband_n now_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o too_o who_o god_n have_v reach_v out_o the_o hand_n betimes_o and_o who_o he_o have_v lift_v up_o to_o be_v as_o mirror_n unto_o other_o let_v they_o learn_v always_o to_o walk_v with_o great_a carefulness_n and_o why_o so_o for_o there_o need_v but_o one_o wry_a step_n to_o make_v they_o to_o fall_v so_o gross_o that_o every_o one_o will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o albeit_o our_o lord_n have_v general_o frame_v and_o fashion_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o every_o one_o have_v we_o in_o admiration_n that_o yet_o in_o particular_a case_n we_o may_v offend_v therefore_o let_v we_o always_o stand_v upon_o our_o watch_n moreover_o they_o which_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o fail_v in_o some_o point_n let_v they_o not_o make_v a_o buckler_n of_o this_o that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o many_o good_a deed_n and_o worthy_a of_o praise_n let_v they_o not_o allege_v their_o valiant_a deed_n as_o they_o say_v but_o let_v they_o acknowledge_v themselves_o for_o such_o as_o they_o be_v and_o say_v well_o i_o perceive_v that_o god_n will_v have_v i_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o i_o be_o a_o weak_a man_n and_o far_o that_o i_o shall_v acknowledge_v in_o general_n that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o uphold_v themselves_o for_o there_o need_v but_o one_o fault_n alone_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n and_o when_o god_n have_v cast_v we_o of_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o so_o let_v we_o learn_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o father_n isaac_n when_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o blind_v and_o that_o he_o never_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v as_o a_o rebel_n to_o god_n in_o esteem_v that_o which_o god_n have_v reject_v and_o despise_v his_o young_a son_n too_o who_o notwithstanding_o god_n have_v give_v this_o testimony_n that_o he_o must_v rule_v in_o his_o house_n now_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n although_o that_o rebecca_n have_v be_v well_o guide_v in_o her_o affection_n and_o that_o she_o have_v seek_v to_o obey_v god_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o there_o must_v be_v some_o quarrel_n between_o they_o as_o oftentimes_o it_o fall_v out_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o moses_n say_v that_o isaac_n love_v esau_n and_o rebecca_n love_v jacob_n and_o when_o he_o speak_v so_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o will_v show_v that_o there_o be_v some_o strife_n in_o the_o house_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o agree_v together_o to_o say_v that_o the_o husband_n &_o the_o wife_n shall_v love_v their_o child_n alike_o as_o by_o nature_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v incline_v thereto_o or_o rather_o that_o they_o know_v that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v love_v the_o young_a now_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o behalf_n that_o albeit_o our_o affection_n be_v well_o ground_v &_o tend_v to_o a_o good_a end_n that_o notwithstanding_o there_o ●●e_z always_o cross_n which_o be_v blame_v worthy_a as_o for_o example_n i_o seek_v to_o follow_v god_n and_o full_o to_o conform_v myself_o unto_o his_o will_n but_o there_o be_v resist_n &_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o i_o must_v incur_v displeasure_n of_o the_o one_o and_o purchase_v a_o enemy_n of_o the_o other_o if_o i_o discharge_v my_o duty_n likewise_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o beginning_n shall_v be_v good_a when_o i_o shall_v desire_v too_o do_v well_o and_o that_o i_o shall_v only_o look_v unto_o god_n but_o everanon_fw-la it_o will_v befall_v unto_o we_o that_o in_o our_o good_a zeal_n we_o shall_v be_v too_o excessive_a &_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v carnal_a passion_n in_o we_o to_o be_v short_a they_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o best_a guide_v and_o who_o have_v great_a perfection_n it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o they_o shall_v yet_o pass_v measure_n in_o this_o place_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v show_v themselves_o man_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o suspect_v our_o passion_n and_o albeit_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n be_v not_o good_a yet_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o fall_v therein_o again_o we_o also_o have_v a_o good_a warning_n to_o leave_v all_o contradiction_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n exhort_v we_o so_o often_o unto_o this_o union_n to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n and_o of_o one_o mouth_n and_o why_o so_o for_o when_o we_o agree_v in_o such_o sort_n each_o one_o stir_v up_o his_o neighbour_n &_o help_v to_o bring_v he_o unto_o god_n but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o be_v quarrel_v in_o contention_n and_o strife_n not_o only_o one_o let_v and_o hinder_v another_o as_o it_o be_v common_o say_v there_o needs_o but_o one_o restife_n horse_n to_o hinder_v the_o whole_a team_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o worse_a matter_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o strive_v for_o the_o service_n of_o god_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o forget_v ourselves_o in_o some_o respect_n and_o many_o thing_n escape_v we_o the_o which_o we_o will_v not_o let_v slip_n if_o we_o be_v out_o of_o strife_n &_o contention_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o matter_n we_o have_v to_o learn_v and_o these_o example_n be_v daily_o see_v amongst_o we_o in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o best_a servant_n of_o god_n &_o they_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o most_o excellent_a grace_n yea_o &_o who_o strive_v for_o the_o truth_n yet_o nevertheless_o can_v always_o so_o bridle_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v not_o quarrel_v &_o show_v themselves_o man_n and_o yet_o god_n allow_v their_o zeal_n and_o that_o which_o they_o do_v and_o why_o so_o for_o because_o they_o have_v a_o good_a beginning_n and_o they_o have_v a_o right_a end_n but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v always_o infirmity_n mingle_v therewith_o let_v we_o therefore_o say_v i_o always_o mark_v this_o in_o this_o example_n of_o isaac_n and_o rebecca_n again_o we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o if_o some_o time_n we_o shall_v not_o agree_v so_o as_o we_o ought_v &_o as_z be_v meet_v &_o convenient_a &_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o bend_v &_o enforce_v ourselves_o that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v make_v no_o divorce_n betwixt_o ourselves_o neither_o be_v quite_o separate_v asunder_o for_o although_o this_o be_v a_o notable_a vice_n that_o isaac_n &_o rebecca_n be_v thus_o divide_v in_o the_o love_n which_o they_o bear_v unto_o their_o child_n yet_o they_o continue_v to_o serve_v god_n &_o isaac_n do_v never_o pretend_v to_o abolish_v this_o oracle_n that_o be_v to_o say_v this_o same_o answer_n
