that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n 3.16_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n this_o be_v

as_o abraham_n here_o do_v unto_o the_o certainty_n of_o god_n promise_v we_o must_v adjoine_v his_o power_n and_o reason_n thus_o god_n have_v make_v this_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o

let_v he_o labour_n to_o believe_v this_o promise_n of_o god_n at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n do_v repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v put_v all_o his_o wickedness_n out_o of_o his_o

avoid_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o and_o pray_v against_o it_o and_o this_o will_v be_v as_o a_o cable-rope_n to_o draw_v he_o out_o of_o the_o pit_n of_o sin_n this_o course_n we_o must_v take_v

whence_o that_o be_v from_o death_n after_o a_o sort_n or_o as_o it_o may_v be_v read_v in_o some_o show_n this_o be_v say_v because_o isaac_n in_o the_o thought_n and_o purpose_n of_o abraham_n be_v

knife_n unto_o his_o son_n throat_n and_o have_v slay_v he_o indeed_o have_v not_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n stay_v his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o angel_n say_v lay_v not_o thy_o hand_n upon_o the_o child_n neither_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o he_o even_o than_o do_v abraham_n in_o some_o show_n receive_v isaac_n from_o death_n here_o we_o learn_v diverse_a point_n 1_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v rest_v on_o god_n providence_n and_o good_a pleasure_n even_o in_o case_n of_o extremity_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o all_o hope_n with_o himself_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o have_v a_o good_a issue_n this_o we_o see_v to_o be_v true_a by_o abraham_n example_n in_o this_o place_n as_o we_o say_v before_o he_o himself_o no_o doubt_n have_v rather_o have_v die_v ten_o thousand_o time_n than_o to_o have_v isaac_n slay_v in_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v but_o yet_o believe_v god_n promise_n that_o that_o shall_v never_o change_v he_o rest_v himself_o on_o god_n good_a pleasure_n and_o providence_n and_o go_v on_o in_o obedience_n and_o so_o in_o the_o end_n receive_v a_o bless_a issue_n this_o be_v very_o clear_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o history_n record_v by_o moses_n for_o when_o abraham_n have_v go_v three_o day_n journey_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o have_v build_v a_o altar_n than_o isaac_n say_v unto_o abraham_n gen._n 22.7_o father_n here_o be_v the_o fire_n and_o the_o wood_n but_o where_o be_v the_o lamb_n for_o the_o burn_a offering_n then_o abraham_n say_v my_o son_n god_n will_v provide_v he_o a_o lamb_n for_o a_o burn_a

be_v in_o case_n of_o extremity_n when_o all_o go_v against_o we_o and_o when_o we_o can_v see_v no_o hope_n of_o any_o good_a issue_n or_o end_n and_o all_o good_a mean_n seem_v to_o fail_v we_o if_o we_o can_v then_o cast_v ourselves_o on_o god_n providence_n and_o roll_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n we_o shall_v have_v comfort_n in_o the_o end_n and_o a_o good_a issue_n out_o of_o all_o we_o do_v all_o of_o we_o in_o word_n acknowledge_v god_n providence_n but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o pinch_n that_o we_o fall_v into_o case_n of_o extremity_n then_o we_o use_v unlawful_a mean_n and_o do_v not_o with_o abraham_n cast_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n but_o seek_v help_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n but_o all_o such_o person_n must_v look_v for_o a_o curse_a issue_n they_o therefore_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n be_v put_v to_o any_o plunge_n or_o extremity_n must_v cast_v themselves_o upon_o god_n whole_o and_o wait_v for_o his_o good_a time_n and_o pleasure_n and_o then_o will_v the_o issue_n be_v both_o joyous_a and_o comfortable_a unto_o their_o soul_n here_o some_o circumstance_n of_o this_o fact_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v out_o of_o the_o large_a story_n the_o first_o be_v this_o what_o do_v god_n unto_o abraham_n at_o this_o time_n when_o he_o be_v about_o to_o kill_v his_o son_n answ._n god_n now_o give_v he_o a_o commandment_n to_o stay_v his_o

to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n hereupon_o abraham_n go_v but_o now_o be_v come_v to_o the_o place_n have_v bind_v his_o son_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o cut_v his_o throat_n god_n bid_v he_o stay_v his_o hand_n and_o then_o also_o abraham_n obey_v god_n and_o do_v not_o kill_v his_o son_n here_o we_o see_v abraham_n be_v at_o god_n command_n and_o as_o we_o say_v at_o his_o beck_n he_o do_v not_o follow_v his_o own_o will_n and_o pleasure_n but_o when_o god_n call_v he_o be_v wonderful_a pliable_a to_o do_v god_n command_v whatsoever_o it_o be_v one_o way_n or_o other_o this_o practice_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v a_o look_a glass_n for_o we_o wherein_o to_o see_v what_o manner_n of_o person_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v look_v what_o god_n command_v we_o to_o do_v that_o we_o must_v do_v and_o what_o he_o forbid_v we_o that_o we_o must_v not_o do_v but_o this_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n to_o be_v find_v in_o these_o day_n our_o practice_n general_o be_v contrary_a for_o in_o our_o life_n we_o follow_v our_o own_o humour_n and_o affection_n never_o regard_v what_o god_n do_v either_o will_n or_o will_v but_o if_o we_o will_v be_v abraham_n child_n we_o must_v follow_v abraham_n practice_n

circumstance_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o time_n when_o abraham_n receive_v his_o son_n from_o death_n to_o wit_n at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n when_o his_o knife_n be_v at_o his_o son_n

every_o man_n shall_v walk_v in_o some_o lawful_a call_n and_o eat_v his_o own_o bread_n this_o they_o do_v not_o and_o therefore_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n pursue_v they_o for_o general_o they_o be_v give_v up_o to_o most_o horrible_a sin_n of_o injustice_n and_o uncleanness_n they_o walk_v inordinate_o for_o they_o range_v not_o themselves_o into_o any_o family_n but_o live_v like_a brute_n

in_o it_o own_o nature_n be_v a_o curse_n &_o a_o punishment_n second_o we_o may_v here_o also_o just_o reprove_v the_o course_n of_o some_o other_o among_o we_o who_o will_v needs_o be_v traveller_n not_o for_o religion_n sake_n for_o that_o be_v commendable_a if_o they_o have_v such_o need_n nor_o yet_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o call_n which_o be_v lawful_a but_o only_o for_o this_o end_n to_o

to_o pass_v with_o safety_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o this_o their_o travel_n be_v commendable_a no_o sure_o for_o the_o end_n of_o lawful_a travel_n be_v the_o preservation_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n ●r_o the_o bond_n of_o some_o lawful_a call_n now_o these_o man_n travel_v upon_o no_o such_o ground_n but_o only_o upon_o pleasure_n how_o
