upon_o the_o dignity_n of_o faith_n they_o must_v our_o faith_n be_v perfect_a for_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v weak_a as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v and_o that_o we_o have_v but_o only_o a_o part_n of_o it_o than_o shall_v we_o have_v but_o a_o part_n of_o salvation_n and_o further_o it_o shall_v be_v shake_v &_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v waver_v and_o in_o doubt_n but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n it_o be_v because_o we_o accept_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v full_o sufficient_a for_o our_o salvation_n our_o faith_n be_v imperfect_a yea_o but_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v never_o so_o little_a a_o spark_n yet_o nevertheless_o shall_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n supplier_fw-fr that_o which_o be_v want_v even_o as_o we_o now_o bear_v this_o corrupt_a lump_n not_o only_o in_o our_o body_n but_o in_o our_o whole_a nature_n but_o we_o know_v that_o our_o soul_n go_v unto_o death_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n where_o be_v our_o life_n it_o be_v in_o we_o how_o in_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 8._o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o have_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o fullness_n no_o not_o so_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v but_o one_o spark_n or_o drop_n of_o it_o but_o this_o say_v he_o be_v life_n and_o shall_v swallow_v up_o all_o whatsoever_o belong_v to_o death_n in_o we_o and_o shall_v make_v it_o of_o no_o effect_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v very_o little_a and_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o we_o conceive_v not_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n offer_v unto_o we_o yea_o and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o by_o a_o lick_n taste_v his_o grace_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o despair_v too_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n for_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o our_o estimation_n or_o of_o our_o paise_n and_o weigh_v it_o in_o our_o balance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o have_v a_o excellent_a faith_n to_o obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o the_o question_n only_o be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v be_v our_o father_n that_o we_o embrace_v this_o promise_n &_o stay_v ourselves_o thereupon_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n or_o distrust_n that_o we_o resist_v they_o and_o that_o we_o hold_v fast_o this_o conclusion_n oh_o we_o be_v yet_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v not_o disappoint_v we_o mark_v then_o what_o we_o have_v here_o too_o hold_v aswell_o by_o the_o example_n of_o rebecca_n as_o by_o the_o example_n of_o isaac_n but_o moses_n say_v now_o express_o that_o jacob_n refuse_v say_v and_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v i_o be_o not_o hairy_a as_o my_o brother_n be_v and_o if_o my_o father_n shall_v find_v the_o deceit_n he_o will_v curse_v i_o here_o we_o see_v as_o it_o seem_v two_o great_a vice_n in_o jacob_n the_o one_o be_v that_o he_o fear_v his_o father_n more_o them_z god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o may_v so_o be_v judge_v thereof_o but_o when_o all_o shall_v be_v well_o mark_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o move_v he_o thereunto_o for_o concern_v the_o curse_n of_o his_o father_n he_o be_v not_o otherwise_o careful_a of_o it_o then_o in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o his_o father_n be_v establish_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o he_o see_v therefore_o that_o jacob_n have_v this_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o rest_v not_o upon_o any_o thing_n from_o man_n but_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o father_n he_o consider_v that_o which_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o other_o evil_n be_v that_o he_o doubt_v now_o we_o know_v that_o in_o our_o life_n if_o we_o be_v not_o well_o certify_v we_o shall_v not_o remove_v so_o much_o as_o one_o finger_n to_o the_o end_n we_o sin_v not_o and_o that_o god_n be_v not_o offend_v and_o why_o so_o obedience_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o sacrifice_n when_o therefore_o we_o shall_v attempt_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n not_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o and_o whether_o god_n do_v allow_v it_o this_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o we_o shall_v despite_n god_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v how_o to_o eat_v or_o to_o drink_v or_o to_o be_v short_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o remove_v a_o mote_n but_o that_o all_o our_o action_n shall_v be_v condemn_v and_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o utter_a detestation_n &_o s._n paul_n also_o pronounce_v it_o for_o by_o this_o word_n of_o faith_n he_o understand_v certainty_n in_o the_o 14._o to_o the_o rom._n that_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o that_o which_o we_o do_v be_v permit_v of_o god_n and_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n but_o see_v jacob_n who_o say_v how_o shall_v this_o be_v i_o be_o not_o hairy_a as_o my_o brother_n be_v he_o doubt_v that_o therefore_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o after_o that_o he_o have_v obey_v his_o mother_n he_o shall_v commit_v evil_a &_o that_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v take_v in_o hand_n shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n &_o that_o god_n will_v detest_v it_o and_o sure_o so_o have_v it_o be_v if_o he_o have_v always_o remain_v doubtful_a that_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v have_v do_v be_v of_o sin_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v to_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v confirm_v but_o the_o answer_n which_o his_o mother_n give_v he_o be_v the_o curse_n be_v upon_o i_o but_o she_o be_v not_o so_o lean_a and_o so_o dry_a as_o here_o she_o be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o but_o she_o show_v he_o that_o he_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n &_o that_o the_o birthright_n belong_v unto_o he_o and_o in_o deed_n we_o shall_v see_v how_o he_o be_v confirm_v and_o that_o he_o fear_v no_o more_o when_o he_o be_v before_o his_o father_n thus_o than_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v that_o jacob_n be_v confirm_v to_o resolve_v himself_o and_o too_o know_v that_o the_o blessing_n which_o he_o seek_v can_v not_o be_v disappoint_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n notwithstanding_o we_o can_v not_o excuse_v he_o but_o that_o he_o fall_v foul_o even_o in_o the_o very_a beginning_n the_o matter_n be_v here_o of_o the_o build_n of_o his_o house_n but_o jacob_n doubt_v &_o stick_v here_o not_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o have_v a_o very_a evil_a beginning_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o in_o that_o case_n but_o confusion_n have_v not_o god_n help_v therein_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v as_o well_o in_o jacob_n as_o in_o isaac_n &_o in_o rebecca_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n come_v not_o unto_o they_o nor_o have_v any_o entry_n unto_o they_o by_o their_o own_o wisdom_n nor_o by_o their_o good_a mean_n which_o they_o invent_v lo_o therefore_o the_o default_n which_o be_v here_o but_o god_n have_v outgo_v all_o their_o fault_n and_o offence_n and_o wrought_v in_o such_o sort_n through_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n that_o we_o have_v good_a occasion_n to_o bow_v down_o our_o head_n and_o to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o all_o our_o happiness_n depend_v and_o from_o who_o it_o proceed_v 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_n in_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o fault_n and_o beseech_v he_o that_o he_o will_v open_v our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v always_o more_o and_o more_o know_v they_o too_o the_o end_n we_o flatter_v not_o ourselves_o in_o they_o but_o that_o we_o may_v

we_o learn_v albeit_o that_o god_n give_v we_o our_o desire_n and_o all_o the_o pleasure_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v wish_v for_o that_o we_o do_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n rest_n upon_o they_o

for_o his_o child_n he_o will_v always_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o when_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v thus_o thorough_o persuade_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v overcome_v

god_n will_v give_v a_o confirmation_n to_o isaac_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v learn_v before_o of_o his_o father_n the_o papist_n make_v a_o buckler_n of_o this_o when_o they_o will_v keep_v themselves_o to_o their_o filthiness_n &_o error_n for_o they_o have_v that_o from_o other_o father_n &_o ancestor_n which_o they_o follow_v they_o have_v not_o invent_v it_o at_o this_o day_n it_o seem_v therefore_o unto_o they_o that_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o beat_v back_o yea_o even_a whatsoever_o god_n himself_o have_v show_v by_o his_o word_n so_o that_o they_o follow_v their_o father_n &_o elder_n well_o but_o when_o god_n be_v name_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n he_o presuppose_v this_o one_o thing_n to_o wit_n that_o abraham_n have_v a_o faith_n rule_v by_o the_o doctrine_n which_o

for_o this_o have_v be_v somewhat_o more_o the_o papist_n will_v not_o say_v it_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n since_o that_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o service_n of_o god_n amongst_o we_o be_v

it_o according_a too_o our_o own_o brain_n but_o we_o must_v look_v unto_o that_o mark_n whereunto_o god_n will_v direct_v isaac_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o this_o be_v because_o abraham_n as_o we_o have_v say_v already_o have_v a_o full_a certainty_n of_o faith_n that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o opinion_n only_o as_o have_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n to_o say_v i_o imagine_v so_o i_o

and_o that_o they_o have_v be_v frame_v unto_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n it_o have_v now_o be_v a_o good_a help_n unto_o our_o faith_n for_o when_o we_o have_v guide_v too_o show_v we_o the_o way_n this_o be_v much_o to_o our_o advantage_n and_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o despise_v it_o but_o if_o we_o have_v have_v father_n who_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n whereupon_o all_o paternity_n

of_o so_o honourable_a a_o title_n of_o father_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v not_o at_o a_o very_a word_n the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o so_o let_v we_o fear_v lest_o that_o be_v speak_v unto_o we_o that_o s._n stephen_n have_v speak_v 7.51_o you_o uncircumcised_a of_o heart_n you_o have_v always_o resist_v god_n and_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o do_v your_o father_n also_o but_o if_o there_o be_v

signify_v that_o he_o see_v himself_o to_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o grave_n already_o for_o there_o be_v none_o that_o know_v the_o day_n of_o his_o death_n god_n will_v always_o hold_v we_o in_o suspense_n &_o doubt_n concern_v this_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v always_o be_v ready_a death_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o common_a proverb_n be_v sure_o to_o all_o but_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n be_v unknown_a unto_o we_o &_o this_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o we_o for_o wese_z how_o man_n be_v give_v to_o their_o pleasure_n &_o be_v merry_a while_n that_o they_o think_v to_o have_v some_o truse_n or_o some_o release_n and_o what_o shall_v this_o be_v if_o we_o know_v certain_o of_o the_o end_n of_o our_o life_n every_o one_o will_v bend_v himself_o to_o all_o kind_n of_o evil_n and_o god_n shall_v be_v despite_v even_o to_o the_o end_n but_o when_o our_o lord_n handle_v we_o short_a in_o such_o sort_n that_o from_o the_o womb_n of_o our_o mother_n we_o be_v still_o besiege_v with_o death_n as_o we_o see_v of_o young_a infant_n who_o die_v before_o they_o come_v into_o the_o world_n so_o far_o be_v it_o off_o that_o we_o can_v live_v even_o the_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n but_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v bear_v we_o be_v subject_a too_o death_n as_o our_o frailty_n declare_v for_o with_o what_o a_o number_n of_o disease_n be_v we_o compass_v and_o to_o how_o many_o danger_n and_o hasard_n be_v our_o life_n subject_n so_o then_o there_o be_v neither_o young_a nor_o old_a that_o shall_v not_o say_v by_o good_a right_n that_o he_o know_v not_o when_o he_o shall_v die_v but_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o wit_n that_o isaac_n know_v well_o that_o he_o can_v not_o continue_v in_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o although_o young_a people_n &_o they_o which_o be_v strong_a and_o in_o the_o flower_n of_o their_o age_n ought_v too_o prepare_v themselves_o to_o forsake_v the_o world_n &_o every_o hour_n to_o die_v while_o they_o live_v yet_o do_v we_o most_o fail_v herein_o albeit_o our_o nature_n warn_v we_o to_o give_v ourselves_o no_o more_o to_o the_o world_n so_o that_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o drift_n of_o isaac_n that_o as_o every_o man_n see_v himself_o weak_a and_o transitory_a so_o that_o he_o draw_v his_o leg_n after_o he_o where_o he_o have_v live_v long_o that_o this_o i_o say_v shall_v stir_v we_o up_o so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o die_v now_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o he_o speak_v here_o to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o bless_v esau_n but_o so_o much_o this_o admonition_n import_v that_o when_o we_o see_v death_n to_o approach_v that_o we_o learn_v free_o to_o yield_v up_o ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o to_o glorify_v his_o name_n in_o such_o obedience_n that_o we_o live_v no_o long_o to_o ourselves_o and_o after_o we_o shall_v have_v dispose_v of_o every_o thing_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o hold_v we_o or_o let_v we_o from_o go_v cheerful_o forward_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v but_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o blessing_n this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o common_a prayer_n for_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o isaac_n pray_v every_o day_n for_o his_o child_n and_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o i_o may_v bless_v thou_o before_o my_o death_n we_o may_v they_o gather_v that_o this_o blessing_n whereof_o isaac_n speak_v be_v have_v in_o special_a regard_n &_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o have_v say_v isaac_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o
