confess_v that_o our_o chief_a desire_n be_v willing_o &_o unfeigned_o to_o honour_n god_n &_o that_o we_o can_v suffer_v any_o reproachful_o to_o abuse_v his_o majesty_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n which_o we_o ought_v at_o this_o day_n with_o all_o diligence_n to_o observe_v albeit_o it_o be_v precise_o give_v in_o commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n for_o in_o substance_n &_o truth_n it_o belong_v unto_o we_o for_o as_o in_o old_a time_n our_o lord_n bring_v this_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n so_o at_o this_o day_n have_v he_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n &_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o eternal_a death_n &_o from_o those_o deep_a and_o dark_a dungeon_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_v to_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n have_v redeem_v and_o purchase_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o well-beloved_a son_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o down_o before_o the_o face_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledge_v our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v they_o better_o than_o we_o have_v do_v that_o labour_v to_o reform_v ourselves_o more_o and_o more_o to_o his_o justice_n we_o fight_v daily_o against_o the_o lust_n and_o desire_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o continue_v so_o long_o in_o this_o combat_n until_o he_o have_v full_o free_v we_o from_o it_o and_o reform_v we_o unto_o his_o image_n in_o the_o which_o we_o be_v first_o create_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v this_o grace_n not_o only_o to_o we_o but_o to_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n etc_n etc_n the._n 7._o sermon_n wherein_o it_o be_v entreat_v of_o the_o second_o table_n deut._n chap._n 5._o 16_o honour_n thy_o father_n and_o thy_o

god_n give_v thou_o we_o be_v now_o come_v unto_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n wherein_o god_n show_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v all_o to_o live_v here_o together_o for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v above_o touch_v there_o be_v two_o principal_a thing_n require_v in_o our_o life_n the_o one_o that_o we_o serve_v god_n pure_o and_o sincere_o the_o other_o that_o we_o live_v with_o man_n in_o all_o integrity_n and_o uprightness_n render_v unto_o every_o one_o that_o which_o appertain_v and_o belong_v unto_o he_o now_o as_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o all_o that_o which_o concern_v man_n so_o it_o behove_v that_o in_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a place_n the_o rule_n of_o honour_v god_n as_o we_o ought_v shall_v be_v give_v and_o this_o be_v handle_v &_o dispatch_v in_o the_o first_o table_n here_o then_o god_n begin_v to_o declare_v unto_o we_o in_o what_o sort_n our_o life_n ought_v to_o be_v order_v if_o we_o will_v apply_v ourselves_o unto_o the_o duty_n we_o owe_v unto_o man_n now_o we_o have_v also_o declare_v that_o god_n require_v no_o honour_n of_o we_o for_o any_o need_n he_o have_v of_o it_o or_o for_o any_o profit_n it_o bring_v unto_o he_o but_o it_o be_v for_o our_o welfare_n and_o salvation_n that_o he_o require_v it_o so_o then_o he_o will_v prove_v our_o obedience_n and_o the_o love_n we_o bear_v he_o when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o all_o equity_n and_o uprightness_n with_o our_o neighbour_n and_o that_o we_o live_v together_o in_o such_o concord_n and_o fellowship_n that_o any_o one_o be_v not_o give_v unto_o himself_o but_o that_o we_o communicate_v together_o and_o that_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o ability_n and_o power_n to_o do_v well_o employ_v and_o force_v himself_o thereunto_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o proof_n which_o god_n make_v to_o know_v whether_o we_o worship_v he_o unfeigned_o and_o from_o our_o heart_n for_o we_o may_v make_v many_o fair_a countenance_n and_o use_v great_a ceremony_n but_o god_n shall_v not_o content_v himself_o with_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v 23._o that_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o the_o law_n be_v justice_n judgement_n uprightness_n faith_n which_o word_n import_v here_o fidelity_n or_o faithfulness_n therefore_o when_o we_o live_v with_o man_n without_o hypocrisy_n and_o dissimulation_n when_o we_o be_v not_o give_v to_o our_o subtle_a sleight_n nor_o malicious_a practice_n we_o study_v to_o minister_v unto_o and_o to_o serve_v every_o one_o in_o his_o commodity_n we_o maintain_v right_a &_o resist_v wrong_a as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o lo_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o law_n not_o that_o the_o service_n of_o god_n ought_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o be_v forget_v or_o that_o it_o be_v of_o less_o importance_n but_o because_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o man_n acquit_v themselves_o in_o their_o duty_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n except_o they_o be_v lead_v hereunto_o by_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n now_o let_v we_o handle_v this_o commandment_n last_o recite_v which_o concern_v the_o honour_n of_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o here_o although_o express_o mention_v be_v make_v of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o mother_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o god_o mean_v to_o deliver_v a_o general_a doctrine_n of_o have_v all_o superiority_n in_o honour_n for_o grant_v we_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o law_n contain_v a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o doctrine_n wherein_o nothing_o be_v want_v and_o this_o which_o we_o have_v say_v must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_o if_o it_o have_v not_o touch_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o duty_n we_o owe_v to_o other_o superior_n as_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n and_o those_o which_o have_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n if_o it_o have_v deliver_v nothing_o concern_v master_n it_o shall_v have_v some_o default_n in_o it_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n have_v command_v that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v in_o any_o degree_n of_o honour_n and_o authority_n be_v honour_v and_o obey_v moreover_o see_v all_o preeminence_n and_o superiority_n come_v from_o god_n and_o that_o this_o order_n be_v establish_v and_o appoint_v by_o he_o without_o the_o which_o the_o world_n can_v not_o stand_v what_o may_v be_v think_v if_o god_n make_v no_o account_n of_o this_o when_o he_o give_v forth_o a_o certain_a form_n of_o live_v well_o and_o in_o all_o holiness_n neither_o ought_v we_o to_o account_v it_o strange_a that_o under_o one_o special_a kind_n of_o obedience_n to_o be_v yield_v to_o all_o superior_n the_o whole_a be_v comprise_v for_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v how_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o law_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v it_o more_o plain_o hereafter_o and_o this_o be_v not_o do_v because_o god_n can_v speak_v in_o no_o other_o manner_n but_o for_o our_o better_a profit_n and_o instruction_n for_o we_o know_v that_o albeit_o man_n desire_v to_o seem_v subtle_a and_o sharp_a witted_a yet_o cease_v they_o not_o always_o to_o cover_v themselves_o with_o the_o buckler_n of_o ignorance_n if_o we_o may_v espy_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n press_v we_o over_o sore_o we_o will_v feign_v have_v some_o excuse_n to_o exempt_v ourselves_o from_o the_o subjection_n of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v not_o apt_a and_o convenient_a to_o instruct_v the_o rude_a and_o ignorant_a many_o will_v allege_v that_o they_o be_v no_o great_a clerk_n that_o they_o never_o go_v to_o school_n it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n may_v not_o bind_v they_o but_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n abase_v himself_o to_o our_o rudeness_n and_o that_o he_o speak_v gross_o according_a to_o our_o capacity_n this_o take_v from_o we_o all_o excuse_n this_o remove_v all_o pretence_n whatsoever_o and_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o order_n himself_o aright_o and_o we_o all_o must_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o hinder_v we_o from_o do_v our_o duty_n but_o that_o we_o be_v rebellious_a against_o god_n and_o will_v not_o bear_v his_o yoke_n lo_o why_o under_o one_o kind_n god_n comprehend_v the_o whole_a that_o he_o may_v instruct_v &_o train_v we_o up_o like_o young_a child_n which_o be_v not_o capable_a nor_o apt_a to_o be_v teach_v after_o some_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a manner_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a sense_n of_o the_o place_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o for_o as_o god_n deliver_v the_o ten_o commandment_n or_o word_n as_o he_o call_v they_o so_o he_o annex_v also_o the_o exposition_n of_o they_o to_o the_o end_n nothing_o may_v be_v obscure_a and_o that_o man_n may_v not_o doubt_v or_o dispute_v of_o that_o which_o
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

if_o man_n shall_v false_o abuse_v his_o holy_a name_n they_o shall_v perceive_v in_o what_o price_n it_o be_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o wait_v until_o this_o be_v accomplish_v

of_o their_o own_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v always_o remain_v in_o their_o condemnation_n they_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o be_v all_o accurse_a it_o behove_v therefore_o that_o they_o have_v

how_o this_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v understand_v now_o see_v he_o in_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o the_o land_n promise_v unto_o the_o jew_n let_v we_o note_v that_o at_o this_o day_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v by_o many_o degree_n more_o incite_v and_o provoke_v to_o serve_v god_o see_v he_o have_v dedicate_v the_o whole_a earth_n unto_o himself_o and_o will_v that_o his_o name_n be_v call_v on_o

for_o god_o protest_v that_o he_o have_v not_o speak_v in_o vain_a but_o now_o at_o this_o day_n when_o god_o speak_v unto_o we_o with_o full_a mouth_n and_o that_o we_o have_v so_o perfect_a a_o

have_v give_v he_o as_o much_o may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o their_o service_n and_o religion_n we_o see_v how_o the_o sacrament_n be_v pollute_v and_o defile_v among_o they_o in_o place_n of_o the_o
