as_o to_o destroy_v and_o bring_v we_o to_o nothing_o that_o he_o yet_o use_v such_o mercy_n towards_o we_o that_o it_o be_v unto_o we_o to_o life_n in_o steed_n of_o consume_a and_o destroy_v we_o and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v of_o such_o force_n as_o to_o consume_v we_o to_o nothing_o i_o understand_v not_o only_o the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v here_o describe_v by_o moses_n but_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v we_o feel_v the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o his_o word_n albeit_o it_o shall_v be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o man_n yet_o shall_v it_o serve_v utter_o to_o confound_v we_o but_o now_o we_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n quicken_v we_o when_o he_o speak_v unto_o we_o and_o especial_o at_o this_o day_n ●●_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o for_o this_o which_o be_v speak_v by_o saint_n john_n be_v every_o day_n accomplish_v namely_o that_o all_o those_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v restore_v to_o life_n for_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v alien_n from_o god_o we_o be_v exile_v and_o banish_v his_o kingdom_n we_o be_v dead_a and_o as_o it_o be_v en●umbed_v in_o some_o grave_n or_o sepulchre_n and_o lo_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n profete_v unto_o we_o the_o remission_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n god_n his_o father_n adopt_v we_o for_o his_o child_n behold_v then_o the_o manifestation_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v open_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o be_v thereby_o quicken_v and_o restore_v unto_o life_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o for_o this_o we_o have_v wonderful_a great_a cause_n to_o praise_n and_o glorify_v our_o god_o for_o that_o he_o make_v his_o word_n to_o serve_v for_o to_o restore_v we_o unto_o life_n and_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o death_n whereas_o his_o word_n be_v of_o such_o force_n and_o virtue_n as_o utter_o to_o consume_v we_o if_o he_o of_o his_o mercy_n do_v not_o turn_v it_o to_o work_v a_o clean_a contrary_a effect_n in_o us._n now_o withal_o let_v we_o diligent_o note_v that_o if_o our_o lord_n have_v once_o bestow_v on_o we_o more_o than_o we_o any_o way_n deserve_v we_o must_v not_o therefore_o take_v leave_n and_o licence_n hereby_o to_o tempt_v he_o and_o to_o desire_v always_o to_o rule_v he_o after_o our_o own_o lust_n and_o appetite_n as_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n the_o papist_n will_v excuse_v themselves_o for_o not_o receive_v the_o gospel_n because_o they_o see_v no_o miracle_n do_v in_o our_o time_n yea_o but_o let_v they_o answer_v i_o whereunto_o the_o miracle_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v and_o which_o he_o commit_v to_o his_o apostle_n serve_v aught_v these_o to_o serve_v nothing_o to_o our_o profit_n and_o commodity_n behold_v then_o what_o admirable_a virtue_n and_o power_n god_o have_v declare_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v then_o move_v there_o be_v no_o part_n in_o the_o world_n wherein_o god_o imprint_v not_o some_o work_n or_o sign_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v authorize_v behold_v the_o angel_n which_o descend_v at_o the_o birth_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o he_o behold_v the_o sun_n which_o be_v darken_v at_o his_o death_n behold_v the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o be_v rend_v in_o two_o piece_n to_o show_v that_o the_o holy_a sanctuary_n be_v open_v and_o that_o free_a and_o bold_a access_n be_v grant_v unto_o god_o than_o ever_o before_o the_o rage_a and_o tempestuous_a sea_n be_v appease_v the_o devil_n themselves_o do_v homage_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_o be_v present_a brief_o both_o by_o sign_n and_o wonder_n above_o and_o beneath_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o the_o gospel_n proceed_v from_o he_o as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v so_o many_o malady_n &_o sickness_n heal_v so_o great_a war_n appease_v so_o many_o other_o sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o be_v show_v be_v not_o to_o serve_v for_o one_o time_n only_o but_o at_o this_o day_n the_o memory_n of_o they_o ought_v to_o remain_v and_o we_o must_v receive_v this_o witness_n for_o a_o seal_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o gospel_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o great_a at_o this_o day_n and_o that_o the_o authority_n thereof_o be_v as_o well_o now_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v as_o it_o be_v then_o when_o christ_n wrought_v his_o miracle_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o see_v many_o of_o the_o uncredulous_a and_o unbelieve_a sort_n which_o allege_v that_o if_o they_o do_v see_v any_o miracle_n they_o shall_v be_v convert_v but_o it_o be_v certain_a if_o they_o be_v now_o present_o show_v they_o will_v still_o remain_v in_o their_o obstinacy_n and_o stubborness_n &_o take_v thereby_o a_o occasion_n of_o further_a enuenome_n and_o impoison_v themselves_o against_o god_n what_o remain_v then_o for_o we_o to_o do_v we_o must_v learn_v as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o god_o have_v once_o do_v if_o god_o have_v give_v we_o more_o than_o he_o owe_v we_o let_v we_o receive_v it_o and_o with_o give_v of_o thanks_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n and_o anger_n against_o we_o by_o a_o over_o presumptuous_a tempt_a of_o his_o patience_n behold_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o this_o place_n when_o the_o people_n say_v let_v the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o we_o no_o more_o for_o it_o suffice_v we_o that_o be_v have_v hear_v his_o voice_n and_o yet_o have_v be_v permit_v of_o he_o to_o live_v and_o that_o this_o we_o have_v above_o declare_v may_v be_v more_o certain_o confirm_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o which_o be_v here_o say_v what_o flesh_n have_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o live_a god_o and_o live_v for_o by_o these_o word_n in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v plain_o show_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n speak_v not_o in_o their_o own_o name_n but_o even_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o mankind_n they_o say_v not_o only_o what_o be_v all_o we_o to_o hear_v god_o speak_v but_o what_o be_v all_o flesh_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n as_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o the_o beginning_n it_o can_v be_v but_o man_n be_v either_o stare_a mad_a or_o stark_o drunken_a when_o they_o can_v humble_v themselves_o for_o there_o need_v no_o other_o thing_n for_o they_o to_o do_v but_o to_o respect_v their_o own_o estate_n and_o condition_n to_o say_v what_o be_v we_o there_o be_v nothing_o neither_o in_o our_o body_n nor_o in_o our_o soul_n but_o frailty_n we_o be_v not_o now_o remain_v in_o our_o nature_n wherein_o we_o be_v first_o create_v but_o be_v fall_v therefrom_o into_o that_o estate_n we_o now_o be_v in_o what_o be_v we_o but_o as_o a_o water_n which_o glide_v away_o as_o a_o smoke_n which_o pass_v and_o vanish_v on_o a_o sudden_a and_o which_o worse_o be_v we_o be_v enemy_n of_o god_o and_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v our_o adversary_n party_n forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o to_o be_v find_v but_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n therefore_o when_o we_o be_v entice_v and_o tickle_v with_o such_o foolish_a and_o vain_a lust_n and_o desire_n as_o to_o wish_v that_o god_o will_v do_v miracle_n that_o we_o may_v hear_v the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n let_v we_o return_v to_o think_v on_o this_o which_o be_v here_o say_v and_o what_o be_v all_o flesh_n let_v we_o i_o say_v enter_v into_o this_o consideration_n to_o bethink_v ourselves_o what_o we_o be_v and_o our_o own_o small_a ability_n shall_v sufficient_o advise_v and_o advertise_v we_o to_o geve_v praise_n and_o thanks_n unto_o god_n that_o he_o make_v we_o not_o feel_v his_o presence_n to_o consume_v &_o utter_o to_o confound_v we_o but_o with_o a_o amiable_a mildness_n and_o gentleness_n allure_v we_o to_o himself_o when_o we_o hear_v man_n like_o ourselves_o and_o our_o brethren_n which_o speak_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o person_n and_o let_v we_o further_o note_n that_o when_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n say_v what_o people_n have_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o remain_v alive_a as_o we_o it_o be_v to_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n will_v not_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v draw_v into_o consequence_n for_o we_o to_o conclude_v any_o thing_n thereon_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o allege_v this_o to_o say_v and_o why_o speak_v not_o god_n at_o this_o day_n unto_o we_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n as_o he_o have_v do_v to_o his_o people_n in_o the_o mount_n it_o please_v he_o then_o so_o to_o do_v but_o we_o must_v not_o impose_v he_o a_o law_n or_o think_v to_o bind_v

threat_n here_o make_v as_o we_o see_v so_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a not_o to_o have_v pronounce_v express_o by_o god_n but_o when_o one_o swear_v by_o his_o faith_n or_o take_v any_o confirmation_n from_o that_o which_o have_v any_o sign_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n his_o name_n be_v unhallowed_a in_o this_o thing_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o of_o they_o which_o use_v false_a oath_n to_o disguise_v their_o purpose_n which_o swear_v rash_o even_o to_o sport_v themselves_o with_o oath_n yea_o to_o despite_n god_n by_o their_o execrable_a blasphemy_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o have_v neither_o flesh_n nor_o blood_n nor_o nothing_o else_o which_o they_o spare_v be_v these_o only_o hold_v faulty_a for_o abuse_v the_o name_n of_o god_n no_o but_o because_o they_o

the_o law_n where_o there_o be_v but_o ten_o sentence_n to_o reiterate_v and_o put_v down_o one_o thing_n twice_o it_o seem_v not_o good_a or_o convenient_a but_o we_o must_v note_v for_o answer_v herunto_o that_o the_o commandment_n which_o we_o have_v before_o expound_v of_o not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a be_v in_o the_o first_o table_n where_o god_n have_v respect_n unto_o the_o majesty_n of_o his_o name_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v have_v it_o in_o great_a reverence_n therefore_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n let_v we_o consider_v of_o the_o infinite_a glory_n which_o be_v in_o he_o that_o we_o open_v not_o our_o mouth_n at_o any_o time_n but_o in_o fear_n and_o humility_n so_o then_o be_v it_o we_o be_v to_o swear_v be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o god_n in_o any_o manner_n we_o must_v always_o think_v that_o his_o name_n ought_v to_o be_v have_v in_o reverence_n that_o we_o must_v not_o use_v it_o at_o random_n rash_o or_o unadvised_o thus_o much_o then_o touch_v that_o we_o have_v before_o see_v now_o god_n speak_v of_o a_o other_o thing_n namely_o of_o not_o hurt_v our_o neighbour_n of_o not_o do_v they_o any_o injury_n or_o work_v they_o any_o damage_n by_o our_o wicked_a tongue_n so_o then_o see_v these_o commandment_n have_v two_o diverse_a end_n we_o see_v how_o these_o two_o sentence_n be_v different_a and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o superfluous_a or_o more_o than_o need_v let_v we_o therefore_o diligent_o note_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o place_n handle_v and_o entreat_v how_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v conversant_a together_o in_o all_o charity_n and_o uprightness_n that_o although_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v profane_v in_o false_a witness_v the_o law_n notwithstanding_o be_v not_o superfluous_a when_o it_o be_v command_v that_o we_o bear_v no_o false_a witness_n against_o our_o neighbour_n now_o we_o have_v in_o this_o place_n to_o declare_v that_o god_n will_v in_o this_o commandment_n general_o condemn_v all_o slander_n all_o false_a report_n all_o defamation_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v so_o it_o be_v say_v express_o in_o a_o other_o place_n thou_o shall_v not_o walk_v about_o with_o tale_n against_o thy_o neighbour_n 16._o thou_o shall_v not_o speak_v evil_a of_o he_o to_o defame_v he_o and_o if_o the_o law_n of_o god_n contain_v a_o perfect_v rule_n of_o well_o live_v it_o follow_v that_o this_o be_v therein_o comprise_v now_o where_o shall_v we_o place_v it_o but_o under_o this_o sentence_n we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o albeit_o god_o have_v here_o specify_v the_o name_n of_o false_a witness_n that_o this_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v extend_v this_o doctrine_n to_o all_o slander_n to_o all_o false_a report_n to_o all_o by_o tale_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o discredit_v of_o our_o neighbour_n or_o to_o the_o hurt_v of_o they_o in_o their_o good_a name_n and_o estimation_n we_o see_v then_o how_o god_n will_v here_o join_v we_o together_o in_o love_n and_o friendship_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o permit_v not_o any_o to_o be_v hurt_v in_o his_o good_a name_n no_o more_o than_o in_o his_o person_n or_o good_n wherefore_o he_o which_o defame_v his_o neighbour_n he_o which_o slander_v they_o in_o what_o manner_n so_o ever_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v make_v as_o it_o be_v war_n with_o god_n and_o break_v the_o bond_n of_o charity_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v between_o man_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v well_o consider_v all_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o false_a report_n slander_n &_o backbite_a do_v more_o harm_n oftentimes_o than_o do_v theft_n and_o so_o let_v we_o know_v that_o if_o we_o will_v obey_v god_o we_o must_v maintain_v the_o honour_n and_o credit_n of_o our_o neighbour_n as_o much_o as_o shall_v lie_v in_o we_o for_o when_o he_o have_v forbid_v we_o to_o hurt_v his_o good_a name_n he_o will_v also_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n that_o we_o maintain_v the_o honour_n and_o estimation_n of_o all_o now_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_o maintain_v in_o his_o estate_n when_o we_o harm_v it_o not_o except_o we_o withal_o procure_v the_o good_a thereof_o now_o we_o ought_v to_o proceed_v by_o the_o degree_n which_o god_n will_v here_o signify_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o false_a witness_n bear_v the_o first_o be_v therefore_o that_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v into_o judgement_n we_o take_v heed_n of_o hurt_v those_o by_o any_o false_a report_n any_o lie_v any_o forswear_n who_o honour_n and_o good_a we_o be_v bind_v to_o procure_v for_o he_o which_o shall_v bear_v false_a witness_n against_o his_o neighbour_n he_o slai_v he_o rob_v he_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o be_v and_o he_o do_v all_o the_o evil_n which_o proceed_v from_o perjury_n true_a it_o be_v that_o oftentimes_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v hereof_o 7._o but_o the_o thing_n notwithstanding_o be_v so_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_o command_v in_o his_o law_n that_o the_o witness_n shall_v be_v the_o first_o which_o shall_v lay_v hand_n to_o the_o execution_n of_o he_o which_o be_v punish_v for_o any_o evil_a deed_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o by_o their_o voice_n and_o by_o their_o tongue_n they_o have_v put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o that_o the_o witness_n shall_v be_v put_v in_o great_a fear_n of_o speak_v otherwise_o than_o the_o truth_n when_o every_o one_o shall_v think_v he_o have_v to_o render_v a_o account_n unto_o god_n if_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o any_o so_o then_o when_o question_n be_v of_o be_v a_o witness_n every_o one_o must_v deep_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n and_o take_v diligent_a heed_n he_o enlarge_v not_o his_o conscience_n but_o that_o he_o speak_v in_o pure_a simplicity_n that_o which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v true_a before_o god_n and_o here_o we_o be_v to_o think_v not_o only_o of_o false_a witness_n which_o shall_v be_v against_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n but_o of_o such_o also_o which_o concern_v their_o good_n and_o estimation_n so_o then_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o all_o respect_n to_o procure_v the_o honour_n and_o profit_n of_o our_o neighbour_n when_o we_o be_v to_o bear_v witness_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o that_o under_o this_o shadow_n of_o cover_v the_o injury_n of_o he_o which_o have_v offend_v or_o of_o preserve_v his_o good_n we_o lie_v before_o god_n for_o if_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n be_v dear_a unto_o we_o what_o ought_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n to_o be_v if_o we_o will_v make_v comparison_n when_o he_o forbid_v i_o to_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o my_o neighbour_n it_o be_v because_o god_n will_v that_o there_o be_v love_n between_o man_n that_o none_o be_v injury_v either_o in_o his_o good_a name_n or_o in_o his_o good_n now_o if_o god_n have_v a_o regard_n and_o care_n of_o we_o which_o be_v but_o poor_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n think_v we_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o but_o if_o by_o false_a witness_n i_o seek_v to_o bear_v out_o and_o bolster_v he_o which_o have_v do_v evil_a if_o i_o cover_v the_o fault_n if_o i_o dissemble_v it_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o i_o blaspheme_v god_n as_o much_o as_o in_o i_o be_v and_o why_o for_o i_o protest_v that_o i_o will_v speak_v the_o truth_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o i_o come_v to_o lie_v and_o be_v not_o this_o to_o unhallow_a the_o name_n of_o god_o be_v not_o this_o to_o deface_v his_o glory_n so_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n in_o this_o place_n will_v gratify_v evil_a doer_n to_o cover_v the_o iniquity_n and_o wickedness_n of_o man_n when_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o thy_o neighbour_n but_o he_o will_v brief_o show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v as_o far_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o procure_v the_o credit_n and_o maintain_v the_o good_a name_n of_o our_o neighbour_n so_o be_v it_o this_o may_v be_v do_v in_o truth_n moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o god_o have_v respect_n here_o rather_o to_o the_o wicked_a affection_n and_o desire_n which_o proceed_v from_o rancour_n and_o malice_n than_o to_o the_o
