god_n and_o we_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n no_o say_v the_o lord_n you_o have_v go_v a_o whore_v from_o me._n i_o but_o still_o why_o may_v not_o we_o rejoice_v as_o other_o people_n to_o be_v sure_a we_o be_v not_o worse_a idolater_n than_o they_o therefore_o though_o we_o may_v not_o rejoice_v more_o than_o other_o yet_o why_o not_o as_o other_o they_o make_v idol_n to_o be_v their_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o so_o vile_a among_o we_o as_o among_o the_o nation_n about_o we_o from_o whence_o therefore_o the_o observation_n be_v this_o that_o god_n charge_v they_o more_o than_o other_o first_o 2._o that_o a_o people_n may_v be_v free_a from_o the_o gross_a evil_n that_o there_o be_v in_o other_o people_n and_o may_v have_v many_o good_a thing_n that_o other_o people_n have_v not_o and_o yet_o may_v be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o other_o people_n you_o will_v say_v object_n how_o can_v this_o be_v thus_o answ_n there_o may_v be_v some_o sin_n that_o they_o have_v among_o they_o that_o may_v have_v great_a aggravation_n than_o any_o sin_n that_o other_o people_n have_v that_o may_v make_v their_o condition_n all_o thing_n consider_v worse_o we_o here_o in_o this_o land_n have_v much_o rejoice_v heretofore_o in_o this_o that_o we_o have_v have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n so_o pure_a among_o we_o as_o no_o people_n more_o and_o certain_o except_o it_o have_v be_v through_o some_o few_o that_o of_o late_a day_n have_v seek_v to_o corrupt_v it_o certain_o that_o must_v be_v say_v that_o the_o doctrine_n have_v be_v keep_v very_o pure_a as_o the_o main_a thing_n of_o religion_n and_o in_o some_o thing_n we_o have_v go_v beyond_o other_o reform_a church_n as_o in_o the_o point_n of_o the_o sabbath_n a_o great_a deal_n beyond_o they_o and_o so_o there_o have_v be_v here_o in_o england_n for_o family_n duty_n never_o have_v god_n more_o honour_n from_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n than_o he_o have_v have_v from_o we_o in_o many_o respect_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o seem_v by_o god_n deal_n with_o we_o at_o this_o day_n that_o god_n be_v more_o provoke_v with_o we_o than_o with_o other_o people_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v take_v these_o one_o or_o two_o thing_n and_o i_o think_v that_o no_o people_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n can_v parallel_v our_o guilt_n not_o only_o no_o people_n that_o be_v now_o but_o never_o any_o people_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v as_o that_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o oppose_a of_o it_o and_o persecute_v of_o it_o never_o be_v any_o people_n so_o guilty_a as_o we_o have_v be_v in_o other_o reform_a church_n man_n may_v be_v as_o forward_o and_o zealous_a as_o they_o will_v and_o they_o be_v not_o persecute_v as_o they_o be_v here_o &_o though_o they_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n more_o loose_o yet_o they_o never_o persecute_v man_n that_o keep_v it_o strict_o &_o there_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o stop_n of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o faithful_a ministry_n so_o general_o as_o here_o in_o england_n if_o there_o be_v but_o any_o stir_a ministry_n in_o any_o place_n present_o fly_v upon_o they_o and_o so_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o we_o at_o this_o day_n rejoice_v not_o as_o other_o people_n god_n have_v spit_v in_o our_o face_n to_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o condition_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o condition_n of_o other_o people_n yea_o but_o still_o object_n if_o we_o be_v idolater_n will_v the_o ten_o tribe_n say_v they_o be_v so_o too_o here_o be_v one_o particular_a aggravation_n upon_o israel_n that_o be_v not_o among_o other_o people_n god_n and_o that_o be_v this_o there_o be_v no_o other_o people_n will_v forsake_v their_o god_n as_o israel_n have_v forsake_v they_o jer._n 2._o 10._o there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o for_o a_o land_n to_o change_v their_o god_n explain_v the_o worst_a people_n for_o kedar_n be_v the_o worst_a sort_n of_o people_n they_o be_v a_o vile_a people_n and_o yet_o go_v to_o kedar_n and_o see_v and_o search_v diligent_o whether_o any_o nation_n have_v ever_o forsake_v their_o god_n but_o you_o have_v forsake_v me._n and_o from_o thence_o there_o may_v be_v this_o note_n that_o to_o be_v constant_a to_o ill_a principle_n be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o evil_a 3._o as_o to_o be_v false_a against_o good_a principle_n i_o say_v god_n account_v it_o not_o to_o be_v so_o great_a a_o evil_n for_o man_n to_o be_v constant_a to_o their_o printless_a though_o they_o be_v evil_a principle_n as_o for_o man_n to_o forsake_v good_a principle_n note_n as_o now_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v bring_v up_o all_o his_o day_n in_o superstition_n and_o think_v very_o this_o be_v the_o right_n certain_o this_o man_n be_v not_o so_o guilty_a before_o god_n as_o another_o that_o have_v be_v educate_v in_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o have_v make_v profession_n of_o the_o contrary_a and_o yet_o afterward_o do_v apostatise_v and_o backslide_v god_n have_v rather_o that_o man_n shall_v keep_v to_o their_o principle_n though_o they_o be_v evil_a than_o entertain_v good_a principle_n and_o forsake_v they_o there_o be_v none_o so_o vile_a in_o god_n eye_n as_o apostate_n there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o sordidness_n and_o baseness_n of_o spirit_n in_o those_o man_n that_o will_v keep_v constant_a to_o their_o principle_n though_o they_o be_v evil_a as_o in_o such_o as_o will_v betray_v their_o principle_n that_o be_v good_a and_o then_o the_o principal_a observation_n be_v this_o 4._o that_o the_o sin_n of_o god_n people_n be_v the_o great_a sin_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v the_o great_a sin_n of_o all_o and_o they_o be_v to_o mourn_v more_o than_o any_o 2_o in_o amos_n 3._o 2._o you_o only_o have_v i_o know_v of_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o will_v i_o visit_v you_o for_o your_o iniquity_n 9_o your_o sin_n be_v great_a

two_o excellent_a text_n in_o jer._n 18._o 13._o expound_v ask_v you_o now_o among_o the_o heathen_a who_o have_v hear_v such_o thing_n the_o virgin_n of_o israel_n have_v do_v a_o very_a horrible_a thing_n that_o be_v the_o aggravation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o virgin_n of_o israel_n that_o have_v do_v such_o a_o horrible_a thing_n but_o especial_o that_o text_n in_o jer._n 32._o 30._o open_v for_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o child_n of_o judah_n have_v only_o do_v evil_a from_o their_o youth_n now_o hierom_n have_v such_o a_o note_n upon_o this_o what_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v he_o and_o judah_n only_o do_v evil_a from_o their_o youth_n what_o have_v none_o do_v evil_a but_o they_o he_o give_v this_o answer_n he_o that_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o go_v from_o it_o he_o alone_o sin_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n as_o for_o unbeliever_n they_o sin_v too_o but_o it_o be_v as_o if_o god_n see_v it_o not_o and_o as_o if_o god_n mind_v it_o not_o as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o act_n that_o he_o wink_v at_o the_o day_n of_o their_o ignorance_n 17._o but_o they_o only_a sin_n that_o have_v have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n we_o read_v of_o this_o philistines_n that_o they_o venture_v to_o carry_v the_o ark_n upon_o cart_n note_v god_n do_v not_o manifest_v himself_o provoke_v against_o they_o that_o carry_v the_o ark_n so_o but_o when_o the_o levite_n will_v presume_v to_o carry_v it_o upon_o cart_n the_o lord_n make_v a_o breach_n upon_o they_o and_o strike_v vzzah_n with_o death_n he_o do_v bear_v with_o it_o in_o the_o

god_n will_v bear_v from_o other_o he_o will_v not_o bear_v from_o his_o own_o their_o sin_n be_v against_o covenant_n and_o that_o be_v a_o special_a thing_n there_o have_v not_o be_v that_o solemn_a covenant_n between_o i_o and_o other_o people_n as_o between_o you_o and_o i_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a aggravation_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o god_n people_n more_o than_o against_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v against_o covenant_n oh_o remember_v this_o you_o that_o do_v often_o covenant_v with_o god_n when_o you_o be_v in_o prayer_n oh_o how_o do_v you_o renew_v your_o covenant_n with_o god_n what_o promise_n do_v you_o make_v with_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o yet_o you_o grow_v again_o loose_a and_o false_a and_o vile_a afterward_o

upon_o the_o place_n as_o hierom_n go_v somewhat_o too_o legal_a so_o luther_n because_o his_o heart_n be_v much_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o bring_v all_o scripture_n to_o the_o uttermost_a he_o can_v for_o express_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o go_v somewhat_o at_o the_o further_a the_o other_o way_n sow_v in_o righteousness_n what_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v right_n say_v he_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n tender_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o attend_v unto_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o embrace_v this_o that_o there_o be_v righteousness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o this_o be_v sow_v in_o righteousness_n for_o say_v he_o what_o other_o righteousness_n be_v there_o but_o this_o when_o reason_n will_v come_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o righteousness_n what_o be_v it_o that_o it_o do_v only_o this_o to_o conclude_v righteousness_n to_o be_v to_o depart_v from_o evil_n and_o do_v thing_n that_o be_v good_a but_o what_o righteousness_n be_v this_o but_o the_o scripture_n righteousness_n be_v this_o for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o he_o have_v no_o good_a at_o all_o in_o himself_o that_o all_o his_o evil_n be_v pardon_v in_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o seed_n the_o seed_n of_o all_o good_a work_n i_o name_v this_o though_o i_o can_v hardly_o think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o prophet_n at_o this_o time_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o very_a good_a meditation_n from_o this_o which_o i_o see_v that_o useful_a man_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n luther_n go_v on_o in_o say_v he_o what_o madness_n and_o blindness_n in_o the_o adversary_n be_v there_o that_o will_v urge_v people_n to_o sow_v and_o yet_o they_o do_v reject_v and_o cast_v off_o this_o seed_n that_o they_o shall_v sow_v that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o faith_n why_o say_v he_o in_o all_o pulpit_n there_o be_v cry_n out_o to_o man_n for_o good_a work_n that_o they_o will_v sow_v in_o righteousness_n but_o say_v he_o where_o have_v they_o their_o seed_n the_o thing_n certain_o be_v a_o excellent_a truth_n that_o he_o have_v upon_o the_o place_n how_o vain_a be_v it_o for_o man_n to_o be_v teach_v to_o sow_v good_a work_n till_o they_o have_v get_v the_o seed_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o all_o good_a work_n be_v the_o righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o fall_v a_o rebuke_v those_o that_o shall_v blame_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o mean_n of_o licentiousness_n say_v he_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o when_o we_o preach_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n think_v that_o we_o preach_v licentiousness_n and_o that_o man_n may_v live_v as_o they_o list_v it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a when_o we_o preach_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o preach_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o good_a work_n and_o those_o that_o have_v this_o seed_n good_a work_n will_v come_v out_o of_o they_o but_o say_v he_o further_o they_o will_v have_v righteousness_n but_o what_o they_o slight_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n but_o they_o must_v have_v righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o to_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n &_o then_o when_o they_o come_v to_o good_a work_n they_o will_v slight_v god_n good_a work_n and_o they_o will_v be_v give_v to_o god_n of_o their_o good_a work_n the_o world_n do_v neglect_v those_o as_o light_a thing_n that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o receive_v the_o saint_n etc._n etc._n no_o but_o they_o will_v have_v other_o brave_a work_n to_o build_v church_n and_o temple_n and_o monastries_n and_o to_o lavish_a out_o gold_n about_o they_o and_o they_o be_v the_o chief_a good_a work_n they_o will_v not_o come_v to_o do_v the_o work_n as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o servant_n but_o rather_o the_o work_n of_o a_o benefactor_n to_o god_n for_o in_o relieve_v thy_o poor_a brother_n when_o none_o but_o thyself_o and_o god_n know_v it_o thou_o do_v the_o work_n of_o a_o servant_n then_o but_o to_o build_v brave_a temple_n and_o monastries_n and_o lavish_a out_o gold_n upon_o they_o this_o be_v for_o you_o to_o be_v a_o benefactor_n to_o god_n but_o thus_o much_o for_o his_o speech_n sow_n in_o righteousness_n we_o know_v that_o the_o prophet_n meaning_n though_o he_o will_v lead_v the_o people_n to_o christ_n yet_o his_o preach_n be_v most_o in_o a_o legal_a way_n sow_v righteousness_n that_o be_v go_v on_o in_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n those_o work_n that_o be_v right_a and_o just_a and_o equal_a such_o as_o you_o may_v give_v a_o good_a account_n of_o they_o before_o god_n and_o man_n paraphrase_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v do_v not_o you_o think_v to_o put_v i_o off_o mere_o with_o outward_a service_n with_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o pompous_a worship_n in_o this_o superstitious_a way_n i_o will_v never_o accept_v of_o these_o thing_n but_o let_v i_o have_v righteousness_n let_v there_o be_v the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n so_o work_n and_o the_o jew_n if_o they_o do_v but_o perform_v the_o the_o external_a work_n of_o righteousness_n they_o may_v have_v external_a mercy_n if_o so_o be_v there_o be_v a_o proportion_n between_o one_o work_n and_o another_o if_o indeed_o they_o do_v some_o work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o not_o the_o other_o than_o they_o can_v not_o expect_v mercy_n from_o god_n but_o though_o there_o be_v no_o save_a grace_n in_o they_o yet_o if_o they_o do_v but_o perform_v external_a work_n of_o righteousness_n and_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n between_o one_o and_o another_o there_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o external_a covenant_n that_o they_o be_v under_o for_o outward_a mercy_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v for_o their_o outward_a righteousness_n caution_n not_o but_o that_o i_o think_v for_o heaven_n there_o they_o must_v have_v true_a grace_n and_o godliness_n as_o the_o saint_n must_v have_v now_o but_o external_a mercy_n be_v more_o annex_v to_o external_a duty_n than_o now_o among_o we_o you_o will_v say_v quest_n we_o have_v external_a promise_n too_o yea_o answ_n but_o that_o be_v make_v to_o godliness_n in_o christ_n jesus_n now_o from_o the_o word_n we_o may_v note_v first_o that_o the_o action_n of_o man_n they_o be_v seed_n such_o seed_n as_o will_v certain_o come_v up_o 1._o other_o seed_n may_v die_v in_o the_o ground_n &_o rot_v and_o never_o come_v up_o but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o action_n that_o thou_o perform_v but_o it_o will_v come_v up_o one_o way_n or_o other_o it_o will_v come_v up_o to_o something_o and_o second_o 2._o it_o will_v come_v up_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n the_o seed_n of_o tare_n will_v not_o come_v up_o to_o wheat_n but_o it_o will_v be_v a_o tare_n and_o so_o the_o wheat_n a_o wheat_n all_o our_o action_n will_v come_v up_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n man_n neglect_v their_o action_n and_o think_v that_o when_o they_o have_v do_v it_o be_v over_o they_o forget_v what_o they_o do_v yesterday_o or_o the_o day_n before_o but_o though_o you_o may_v forget_v it_o yet_o it_o will_v come_v up_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n though_o you_o think_v not_o of_o it_o pliny_n i_o remember_v pliny_n report_v of_o some_o part_n in_o africa_n that_o when_o they_o sow_v their_o seed_n they_o go_v away_o and_o never_o look_v after_o it_o for_o many_o

so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o action_n they_o seem_v as_o if_o they_o be_v quite_o forget_v but_o they_o will_v come_v up_o yea_o and_o good_a action_n they_o seem_v as_o if_o they_o be_v whole_o lose_v many_o time_n well_o though_o the_o seed_n do_v rot_v rot_v in_o the_o ground_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o it_o will_v come_v up_o afterward_o four_o 4._o the_o seed_n when_o it_o be_v sow_v it_o come_v
