consider_v all_o our_o life_n long_o how_o great_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n for_o utter_v so_o great_a goodness_n unto_o us._n there_o be_v a_o number_n to_o be_v see_v which_o do_v but_o wring_v

contrariwise_o it_o be_v show_v we_o here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o although_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o and_o listen_v not_o to_o call_v our_o fault_n to_o account_v yet_o must_v not_o we_o therefore_o thrust_v they_o under_o foot_n but_o rather_o call_v they_o to_o mind_v every_o day_n that_o it_o may_v first_o of_o all_o provoke_v we_o to_o repentance_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v fall_v eftsoo_o ne_o if_o god_n preserve_v we_o not_o and_o second_o make_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o we_o stand_v not_o but_o through_o his_o free_a mercy_n and_o final_o encourage_v we_o to_o magnify_v his_o name_n for_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o dungeon_n whereinto_o we_o be_v fall_v see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v so_o much_o bind_v unto_o he_o let_v we_o be_v the_o willing_a to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o place_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o post_n but_o that_o we_o must_v continue_v in_o pray_v without_o be_v weary_a and_o that_o be_v a_o point_n right_n necessary_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o whereas_o there_o be_v many_o fault_n in_o we_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a that_o we_o can_v settle_v ourselves_o unto_o prayer_n but_o we_o be_v fleet_v so_o as_o our_o mouth_n be_v no_o soon_o open_v but_o our_o wit_n be_v by_o and_o by_o wander_v elsewhere_o and_o beside_o that_o if_o we_o have_v pray_v unto_o god_n once_o we_o think_v it_o enough_o and_o too_o much_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v that_o moses_n be_v forty_o day_n together_o in_o continual_a mourning_n for_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o people_n therefore_o in_o our_o pray_n unto_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v the_o perseveraunce_n whereunto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n exhort_v we_o 〈…〉_o luk._n 〈…〉_o say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v importunate_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v utter_v our_o grief_n unto_o god_n light_o and_o once_o for_o all_o but_o that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o he_o still_o until_o he_o have_v hear_v our_o request_n now_o then_o here_o be_v a_o second_o lesson_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o place_n which_o be_v that_o in_o pray_v unto_o god_n we_o must_v have_v a_o settledness_n of_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n also_o this_o pray_v of_o mosese_n show_v we_o what_o their_o duty_n be_v which_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o other_o folk_n namely_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o pity_v such_o as_o shall_v have_v offend_v for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o such_o as_o have_v public_a charge_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n to_o the_o worldewarde_n but_o they_o must_v also_o turn_v unto_o god_n we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o must_v not_o only_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 〈…〉_o act._n 〈…〉_o but_o also_o give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n now_o this_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o faithful_a for_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a duty_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v the_o chief_a charge_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v this_o call_n upon_o god_n to_o belong_v chief_o unto_o they_o 〈…〉_o 2._o cor._n 〈…〉_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o humble_v himself_o for_o the_o corinthian_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o chastisement_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v set_v he_o over_o that_o church_n it_o behoove_v he_o to_o bear_v the_o chief_a burden_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n therefore_o such_o as_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o preach_v god_n word_n and_o of_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n must_v not_o only_o employ_v themselves_o that_o way_n but_o also_o to_o prayer_n and_o chief_o when_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v amiss_o and_o disorder_n among_o the_o people_n then_o ought_v they_o most_o special_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o tarry_v not_o till_o the_o people_n resort_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n but_o show_v they_o the_o way_n as_o he_o who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o procure_v their_o welfare_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o prayer_n that_o moses_n make_v lord_n god_n say_v he_o destroy_v not_o the_o people_n of_o thy_o heritage_n who_o thou_o have_v redeem_v by_o thy_o mighty_a power_n &_o strong_a hand_n out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n bethink_v thyself_o of_o thy_o servant_n abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o
own_o lewdness_n and_o unthankfulness_n but_o let_v we_o endeavour_n to_o fare_v the_o better_a by_o it_o by_o be_v wash_v in_o our_o soul_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o mortify_v our_o own_o

spirit_n may_v reign_v in_o we_o so_o as_o he_o may_v bear_v the_o whole_a sway_n this_o exhortation_n be_v make_v unto_o the_o jew_n because_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o apply_v their_o sacrament_n unto_o such_o end_n nevertheless_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o perform_v the_o thing_n y_fw-fr t_o be_v require_v here_o for_o although_o the_o jew_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v circumcise_v in_o their_o heart_n yet_o be_v it_o very_o necessary_a that_o god_n shall_v work_v in_o y_z t_z behalf_n likewise_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n nowadays_o to_o mortify_v ourselves_o &_o we_o be_v command_v so_o to_o do_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o be_v fain_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n who_o reserve_v to_o himself_o y_o e_fw-la office_n of_o renew_v our_o

but_o our_o baptise_v be_v only_o with_o water_n y_z t_z be_v to_o say_v we_o have_v but_o the_o sign_n of_o baptism_n commit_v unto_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o do_v be_v not_o in_o vain_a for_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v faithful_a witness_n of_o god_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o do_v it_o in_o his_o name_n we_o must_v not_o think_v y_z t_o the_o thing_n be_v void_a &_o unprofitable_a but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o resort_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o consider_v y_z t_o our_o minister_a of_o baptism_n in_o his_o church_n be_v by_o his_o

wash_v his_o own_o soul_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o minister_n baptise_v with_o water_n and_z y_z t_z every_o man_n baptise_v himself_o with_o truth_n but_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v so_o for_o that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o rob_v god_n son_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o he_o he_o have_v reserve_v that_o honour_n to_o himself_o &_o never_o give_v it_o to_o any_o

available_a unto_o we_o by_o be_v baptize_v in_o our_o soul_n we_o must_v therewithal_o immediate_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n pray_v he_o to_o perform_v the_o thing_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n which_o he_o represent_v to_o we_o outward_o by_o the_o figure_n thereof_o and_o to_o mortify_v and_o renew_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o we_o may_v have_v the_o truth_n of_o

consist_v not_o in_o any_o visible_a thing_n or_o in_o any_o thing_n belong_v to_o this_o present_a life_n but_o it_o be_v the_o gather_n of_o we_o together_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n into_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o a_o rule_n to_o hold_v we_o under_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n and_o although_o the_o sacrament_n be_v visible_a of_o themselves_o yet_o be_v they_o nevertheless_o spiritual_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o end_n as_o all_o other_o ceremony_n be_v we_o come_v hither_o together_o well_o it_o be_v a_o visible_a thing_n we_o kneel_v down_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n &_o that_o be_v visible_a also_o but_o yet_o it_o aim_v at_o a_o high_a end_n and_o have_v a_o respect_n which_o be_v altogether_o spiritual_a so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n ought_v to_o be_v maintain_v in_o his_o full_a soundenesse_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v beware_v that_o we_o mingle_v not_o any_o corruption_n with_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v command_v in_o his_o church_n ne_o thrust_v in_o such_o person_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o overthrow_v the_o common_a weal_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v choose_v false_a shepherd_n and_o man_n of_o wicked_a doctrine_n or_o of_o lewd_a conversation_n be_v it_o not_o a_o dishonour_v of_o jesus_n christ_n kingdom_n and_o a_o put_n of_o all_o thing_n to_o havoc_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v see_v then_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v forbid_v to_o set_v up_o a_o strange_a king_n in_o the_o seat_n that_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o that_o we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o govern_v we_o not_o in_o shadow_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n but_o in_o full_a truth_n now_o that_o we_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v call_v the_o daysunne_n of_o righteousness_n as_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n term_v he_o 4_o mâ—_n â—_o 4_o who_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o we_o and_o rule_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o we_o what_o a_o treachery_n be_v it_o if_o we_o shall_v deface_v his_o royal_a throne_n and_o not_o maintain_v it_o in_o such_o pureness_n as_o that_o he_o may_v always_o reign_v by_o his_o word_n and_o every_o man_n do_v he_o homage_n and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a know_v he_o 〈…〉_o psal._n 〈…〉_o and_o he_o have_v always_o his_o pre-eminence_n among_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o god_n command_v we_o here_o to_o have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o his_o church_n so_o as_o there_o may_v be_v no_o defilement_n to_o hinder_v christ_n reign_v over_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v now_o as_o touch_v the_o second_o reason_n let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o if_o god_n have_v give_v a_o people_n the_o grace_n to_o choose_v king_n prince_n magistrate_n or_o judge_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v great_a regard_n that_o the_o

judge_n without_o discern_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o fear_v god_n or_o no_o do_v put_v the_o halter_n about_o their_o own_o neck_n wilful_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v choose_v and_o take_v magistrate_n that_o be_v either_o deadly_a enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o hypocrite_n that_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o turn_v all_o thing_n upsidedowne_v or_o worldelinge_n that_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o tread_v all_o religion_n under_o foot_n be_v not_o the_o admit_v of_o such_o man_n as_o a_o open_n of_o the_o gate_n unto_o satan_n that_o he_o may_v have_v

magistrate_n governor_n and_o officer_n of_o justice_n let_v we_o take_v warning_n by_o this_o text_n to_o look_v for_o this_o mark_n in_o they_o that_o they_o be_v man_n which_o fear_v god_n and_o be_v at_o leastwise_o desirous_a that_o religion_n shall_v be_v maintain_v in_o his_o pureness_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v drive_v god_n from_o we_o and_o seek_v to_o banish_v he_o from_o among_o we_o which_o be_v too_o curse_a a_o trayterousnesse_n and_o thus_o much_o concern_v earthly_a government_n after_o we_o have_v endeavour_v that_o the_o spiritual_a

be_v double_a to_o wit_n that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n they_o be_v to_o teach_v the_o people_n &_o to_o be_v as_o keeper_n and_o maintainer_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o law_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n

y_fw-fr t_o all_o man_n be_v accurse_v &_o condemn_v to_o death_n and_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a to_o come_v in_o god_n presence_n without_o sacrifice_n 11.12_o hebr._n 10.4_o &_o 11.12_o and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o sacrifice_n sufficient_a to_o make_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o the_o world_n but_o only_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n offer_v up_o of_o himself_o you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o levite_n be_v to_o teach_v the_o people_n that_o the_o ceremony_n guide_v they_o to_o the_o promise_n which_o have_v be_v make_v unto_o they_o concern_v the_o redeemer_n and_o therewithal_o it_o behove_v the_o levite_n moreover_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v to_o go_v into_o the_o tabernacle_n in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o

we_o have_v to_o note_v the_o manner_n &_o fashion_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o speech_n which_o moses_n use_v he_o say_v that_o he_o &_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n command_v the_o people_n say_v do_v that_o

to_o advance_v himself_o so_o hy_z no_o but_o because_o moses_n bring_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o but_o be_v a_o faithful_a minister_n of_o god_n &_o do_v nothing_o but_o expound_v the_o law_n even_o

this_o common_a order_n with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n may_v well_o protest_v that_o they_o be_v christian_n but_o they_o come_v to_o the_o church_n as_o holy_a as_o horse_n bear_v

if_o we_o will_v be_v of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n and_o have_v god_n to_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n we_o must_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v minister_v unto_o we_o
