whereby_o he_o utter_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o as_o be_v say_v already_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o moses_n do_v in_o this_o place_n attribute_v the_o title_n of_o faithful_a

that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v glorify_v he_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v silly_a frail_a creature_n yet_o we_o may_v say_v

it_o seem_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v they_o hate_v he_o to_o his_o face_n he_o mean_v to_o say_v that_o we_o spite_n god_n or_o hate_n god_n to_o his_o face_n when_o we_o fall_v out_o into_o

though_o it_o be_v say_v y_o it_o whereas_o he_o spare_v the_o wicked_a in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o overthrow_v they_o and_o destroy_v they_o utter_o afterward_o according_a

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

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n but_o here_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n how_o moses_n may_v say_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o such_o a_o city_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v put_v over_o unto_o god_n as_o a_o offering_n or_o sacrifice_n yet_o do_v god_n speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n in_o many_o place_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o when_o we_o protest_v that_o only_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o when_o we_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o solemn_a homage_n unto_o he_o and_o again_o when_o other_o appurtenance_n come_v in_o place_n as_o when_o man_n sacrifice_v under_o the_o law_n they_o protest_v that_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o

and_o yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n in_o the_o firstlinge_n tenthes_o and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_n unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n it_o behove_v god_n curse_n to_o be_v

thereof_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n like_v very_o well_o of_o and_o why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v a_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o suffer_v

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

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

that_o we_o continue_v not_o in_o the_o perfection_n wherein_o adam_n be_v create_v and_o that_o god_n reform_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o or_o rather_o behold_v the_o vice_n whereof_o he_o

to_o suffer_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o to_o receive_v wrongful_a persecution_n at_o man_n hand_n under_o any_o colour_n or_o occasion_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o god_n promise_v that_o they_o which_o serve_v he_o shall_v lead_v a_o happy_a life_n even_o in_o this_o world_n not_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v exempt_v from_o all_o adversity_n for_o that_o be_v impossible_a yea_o and_o also_o against_o our_o salvation_n but_o he_o will_v so_o dispose_v our_o life_n as_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o he_o

they_o have_v need_n of_o some_o aid_n whereof_o we_o at_o this_o time_n have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o neither_o may_v we_o think_v our_o state_n to_o be_v therefore_o the_o worse_a as_o many_o do_v

when_o we_o perceive_v any_o sign_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o when_o we_o have_v acknowledge_v our_o sin_n and_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o they_o at_o his_o hand_n we_o must_v also_o wait_v his_o

quick_a for_o why_o who_o perform_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o he_o can_v say_v i_o have_v attain_v unto_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o my_o work_n there_o be_v no_o such_o man_n to_o be_v find_v then_o be_v there_o no_o more_o certainty_n in_o the_o promise_n say_v he_o &_o so_o consequent_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a if_o we_o will_v needs_o ground_v ourselves_o upon_o our_o work_v after_o that_o manner_n speak_v he_o thereof_o as_o well_o to_o the_o roman_n as_o to_o the_o galathian_o 3._o rom._n 4._o gal._n 3._o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n denounce_v we_o to_o be_v all_o condemn_a by_o this_o sentence_n where_o he_o say_v curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o my_o law_n as_o for_o the_o pelt_a trash_n which_o the_o papist_n call_v satisfaction_n they_o be_v but_o mockery_n for_o god_n will_v be_v serve_v with_o obedience_n moreover_o the_o release_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v free_v beestow_v as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n show_v and_o as_o for_o all_o the_o satisfaction_n as_o they_o term_v they_o which_o man_n have_v forge_v they_o serve_v to_o no_o purpose_n neither_o do_v god_n accept_v any_o of_o they_o when_o we_o fall_v to_o breed_n of_o our_o own_o lykinge_n in_o our_o own_o brain_n he_o refuse_v everywhit_o of_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n know_v that_o we_o be_v wash_v and_o cleanse_v by_o his_o blood_n and_o it_o be_v the_o only_a remedy_n that_o god_n set_v forth_o unto_o us._n thus_o have_v we_o two_o thing_n to_o mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o this_o foresay_a sentence_n to_o damn_v we_o all_o yea_o even_o the_o holy_a saint_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o no_o man_n have_v satisfy_v god_n law_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v for_o if_o the_o holy_a father_n which_o have_v a_o angelical_a holiness_n in_o this_o world_n be_v notwithstanding_o faulty_a before_o god_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o now_o make_v comparison_n between_o we_o and_o they_o how_o far_o off_o be_v we_o from_o the_o holiness_n of_o abraham_n the_o pureness_n of_o david_n the_o soundness_n of_o job_n and_o the_o perfectness_n of_o daniel_n when_o these_o may_v be_v condemn_v what_o shall_v we_o be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o shrink_v in_o our_o horn_n and_o let_v every_o of_o we_o keep_v his_o mouth_n shut_v 3.19_o rom._n 3.19_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n when_o he_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o thing_n then_o which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v we_o of_o all_o righteousness_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o rid_v we_o of_o all_o presumption_n &_o pride_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o pretend_v to_o come_v to_o account_v with_o he_o to_o bind_v he_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v willing_o condemn_v ourselves_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n now_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v the_o remedy_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v which_o be_v that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n for_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v he_o hang_v upon_o tree_n 3.13_o gal._n 3.13_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o in_o the_o one_o and_o twentieth_o chapter_n that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v hang_v upon_o tree_n be_v all_o accurse_a now_o when_o god_n make_v that_o law_n know_v he_o not_o what_o he_o have_v ordain_v afore_o concern_v his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v to_o be_v hang_v on_o tree_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o unchaungeable_a decree_n make_v even_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v now_o match_v this_o sentence_n with_o the_o other_o which_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o one_o and_o twentyth_n chapter_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o say_n you_o see_v well_o that_o for_o want_n of_o perform_v they_o we_o be_v confound_v and_o of_o right_a as_o good_a as_o damn_a but_o yet_o heerewithall_o we_o must_v also_o embrace_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v curse_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o if_o that_o this_o curse_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a then_o must_v we_o now_o be_v needs_o set_v free_a what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v curse_v without_o cause_n and_o yet_o no_o fruit_n redound_v thereof_o to_o we_o that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o blessedness_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o we_o not_o know_v wherefore_o but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v unprofitable_a now_o then_o see_v that_o the_o curse_n which_o jefus_fw-la christ_n suffer_v in_o his_o own_o person_n be_v not_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n let_v we_o know_v that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v we_o be_v deliver_v before_o god._n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v those_o two_o text_n to_o
