the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v set_v such_o order_n among_o we_o as_o we_o now_o have_v we_o must_v know_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o all_o this_o nevertheless_o this_o briefenesse_n will_v be_v darksome_a if_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v better_a when_o we_o consider_v how_o god_n have_v create_v &_o shape_v we_o and_o moreover_o make_v we_o after_o his_o own_o

that_o be_v comprehend_v in_o his_o word_n howbeit_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o when_o we_o be_v ask_v yet_o near_o wherefore_o y_a e_o promise_n of_o y_z e_z forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v

here_o than_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o god_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o punish_v they_o with_o such_o extremity_n

of_o unthankfulness_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v thirty_o day_n for_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n to_o make_v such_o sorrow_n for_o

whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o make_v such_o lamentation_n for_o a_o man_n that_o be_v depart_v for_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o incounter_v of_o god_n will_n we_o know_v that_o the_o life_n

when_o we_o shall_v have_v commit_v any_o gross_a fault_n as_o this_o people_n have_v do_v in_o commit_v abominable_a ydolatrie_n the_o great_a than_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o more_o let_v we_o

notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o for_o his_o people_n we_o must_v come_v to_o he_o familiar_o and_o without_o doubt_v for_o he_o guide_v we_o thither_o and_o open_v we_o

the_o stubbornness_n of_o the_o people_n their_o wickedness_n and_o their_o sin_n for_o moses_n here_o make_v not_o a_o ceremonious_a confession_n as_o these_o shameless_a sort_n do_v that_o be_v to_o

like_a as_o moses_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o people_n so_o do_v we_o see_v that_o daniel_n speak_v of_o himself_o 5_o daâ—_n â—_o 5_o for_o in_o his_o report_n how_o he_o confess_v his_o own_o sin_n

with_o we_o still_o and_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o our_o lord_n abhor_v ydolatry_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o other_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v this_o

that_o they_o bring_v god_n curse_v continual_o upon_o themselves_o it_o appear_v manifest_o that_o they_o despise_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v offer_v once_o for_o all_o by_o the_o son_n of_o

know_v we_o once_o this_o curse_n if_o we_o resort_v to_o jesus_n christ_n there_o we_o find_v that_o the_o same_o curse_n be_v quite_o and_o clean_o wipe_v out_o &_o do_v away_o after_o what_o

that_o he_o delight_v not_o to_o vex_v we_o with_o multitude_n of_o evil_n but_o that_o he_o mean_v rather_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o goodness_n in_o all_o respect_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v advise_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o god_n if_o we_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v pour_v upon_o we_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o all_o our_o life_n may_v be_v bless_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n oftentimes_o afflict_v his_o people_n for_o other_o cause_n than_o their_o sin_n as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v to_o job_n which_o be_v a_o notable_a mirror_n for_o us._n we_o see_v the_o like_a in_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n who_o although_o they_o do_v endeavour_n and_o travail_n to_o serve_v god_n yet_o be_v they_o in_o as_o great_a trouble_n and_o grief_n as_o can_v be_v the_o same_o be_v yet_o more_o manifest_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o see_v that_o god_n have_v reveil_v more_o full_o what_o be_v the_o perfect_a happiness_n of_o man_n it_o behoove_v the_o faithful_a to_o be_v exercise_v under_o many_o adversity_n in_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a he_o do_v it_o to_o preserve_v they_o as_o the_o physician_n that_o wait_v not_o always_o till_o the_o sickness_n do_v appear_v but_o if_o he_o perceive_v any_o likelihood_n that_o a_o man_n be_v in_o danger_n he_o will_v prevent_v it_o god_n then_o in_o not_o punish_v the_o sin_n that_o be_v present_o commit_v by_o his_o child_n do_v use_v chastisement_n towards_o they_o as_o preservative_n medicine_n it_o may_v every_o day_n fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o offend_v against_o god_n in_o some_o particular_a sin_n but_o what_o if_o he_o be_v always_o in_o prosperity_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o god_n therefore_o do_v cure_v such_o disease_n by_o withdraw_a his_o blessing_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o fat_a to_o blind_v man_n eye_n or_o to_o hinder_v our_o come_n unto_o he_o lest_o it_o shall_v stay_v we_o too_o long_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o our_o delight_n as_o to_o fall_v altogether_o on_o sleep_n in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n forbear_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o always_o just_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o list_v let_v the_o perfect_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n be_v choose_v out_o and_o yet_o if_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o they_o by_o rigour_n he_o shall_v lay_v many_o hard_a knock_n upon_o their_o pate_n but_o true_o we_o think_v it_o not_o so_o for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o sharp_a sight_v as_o to_o know_v the_o fault_n which_o god_n do_v mark_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n utter_v his_o patience_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o he_o spare_v man_n and_o punish_v they_o not_o i_o mean_v the_o most_o righteous_a that_o can_v be_v find_v as_o for_o example_n when_o david_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v of_o saul_n and_o of_o all_o his_o enemy_n when_o abraham_n be_v stinge_v and_o

and_o final_o when_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cruel_o deal_v with_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n no_o very_o but_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v call_v they_o to_o account_v he_o may_v have_v punish_v they_o a_o hundred_o time_n more_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o have_v accuse_v he_o of_o cruelty_n he_o spare_v they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o do_v they_o the_o honour_n to_o suffer_v for_o his_o name_n or_o rather_o he_o try_v their_o obedience_n kill_v their_o carnal_a affection_n and_o draw_v they_o near_o unto_o himself_o as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v job_n a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o frailty_n but_o howsoevet_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n to_o make_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o we_o all_o we_o perceive_v then_o that_o god_n have_v other_o meaning_n in_o afflict_v his_o people_n than_o only_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o uphold_v they_o even_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n resort_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o suffer_v in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v proceed_v of_o sin_n and_o why_o so_o for_o be_v not_o this_o corruption_n in_o our_o nature_n which_o god_n condemn_v and_o of_o the_o which_o also_o we_o be_v convict_v we_o shall_v enjoy_v here_o a_o bless_a life_n all_o this_o whole_a world_n shall_v be_v unto_o we_o a_o earthly_a paradise_n for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o adam_n be_v coop_v up_o in_o a_o little_a corner_n for_o himself_o
then_o that_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v in_o such_o obedience_n to_o our_o god_n as_o he_o may_v make_v the_o redemption_n available_a which_o be_v wrought_v by_o our_o

that_o there_o be_v never_o yet_o any_o man_n find_v nor_o any_o can_v possible_o be_v find_v which_o perform_v all_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o god_n command_v indeed_o it_o have_v be_v a_o common_a say_n that_o god_n law_n be_v not_o unpossible_a and_o at_o this_o day_n when_o the_o papist_n reason_n against_o we_o they_o think_v it_o a_o unuincible_a argument_n to_o prove_v their_o freewill_n why_o shall_v god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n if_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v too_o repugnaunt_a that_o

saint_n paul_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n say_v curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o the_o commandment_n and_o he_o presuppose_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o no_o man_n perform_v

excellent_a lesson_n in_o this_o text_n for_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o god_n strike_v down_o all_o the_o child_n of_o adam_n with_o one_o blow_n of_o a_o beetle_n yea_o and_o thunder_v down_o upon_o they_o to_o fling_v they_o into_o such_o a_o dungeon_n of_o confusion_n as_o they_o may_v perceive_v that_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v all_o damn_a and_o perish_v but_o we_o tarry_v not_o

ear_n we_o proceed_v so_o far_o let_v we_o consider_v how_o the_o papist_n deceive_v themselves_o they_o see_v wellynough_o that_o no_o man_n perform_v y_o e_o law_n of_o god_n and_o although_o they_o forge_v the_o fantastical_a argument_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o say_v that_o god_n command_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o do_v yet_o be_v they_o convict_v even_o by_o their_o own_o experience_n that_o all_o man_n be_v sinner_n that_o all_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n also_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n

yet_o do_v they_o wrangle_v still_o say_v that_o that_o be_v before_o we_o be_v regenerate_v again_o by_o god_n spirit_n nevertheless_o if_o they_o be_v press_v they_o must_v needs_o confess_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o even_o the_o holy_a folk_n be_v still_o unperfect_a and_o y_z t_z there_o be_v some_o frailty_n in_o they_o and_o though_o they_o will_v not_o confess_v it_o yet_o do_v the_o holy_a scripture_n show_v it_o and_o every_o man_n feel_v it_o in_o himself_o now_o then_o wherefore_o do_v the_o papist_n so_o great_o maintain_v the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n &_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o deserve_v well_o to_o be_v recompense_v and_o that_o we_o purchase_v or_o earn_v y_z e_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o they_o be_v so_o brutish_a and_o so_o beastly_a it_o be_v because_o they_o imagine_v that_o although_o we_o perform_v not_o the_o law_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o fail_v not_o to_o merit_v or_o deserve_v &_o this_o they_o term_v a_o righteousness_n in_o part_n they_o say_v that_o all_o man_n do_v amiss_o in_o deed_n that_o be_v true_a and_o that_o in_o that_o respect_n they_o be_v faulty_a before_o god_n

shall_v go_v scotfree_a at_o leastwyse_o in_o their_o own_o seem_n they_o will_v well_o confess_v in_o one_o word_n we_o be_v endanger_v but_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o we_o have_v no_o

nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o go_v to_o work_v after_o that_o fashion_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o bethink_v we_o how_o the_o apostle_n say_v 10.31_o heb._n 10.31_o that_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a

a_o device_n of_o satan_n and_o even_o they_o themselves_o will_v well_o confess_v that_o we_o can_v merit_v by_o any_o inward_a worthiness_n which_o be_v in_o our_o work_v they_o say_v that_o all_o

ever_o be_v some_o fault_n to_o be_v find_v in_o their_o work_v when_o they_o come_v before_o god._n not_o that_o all_o papist_n be_v of_o that_o mind_n there_o be_v not_o past_a one_o of_o a_o

4.14_o say_v if_o righteousness_n depend_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n then_o be_v the_o promise_n to_o no_o purpose_n saint_n paul_n in_o that_o place_n touch_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o
