it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o you_o both_o the_o will_n and_o deed_n even_o of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n this_o be_v speak_v unto_o they_o that_o have_v begone_v and_o continue_v also_o some_o

out_o curse_n against_o he_o that_o shall_v not_o continue_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o obedience_n unto_o the_o end_n the_o law_n be_v look_v true_o upon_o will_v let_v we_o see_v much_o require_v and_o command_v and_o yet_o unperformed_a of_o we_o much_o forbid_a yet_o for_o all_o that_o do_v of_o we_o and_o therefore_o many_o curse_n due_a unto_o we_o by_o our_o own_o deserve_n so_o that_o

have_v begone_v in_o simplicity_n and_o singleness_n of_o heart_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n the_o law_n have_v great_a use_n and_o the_o often_o sight_n of_o themselves_o therein_o be_v very_o

stand_v in_o the_o way_n against_o it_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o part_n the_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n true_o behold_v and_o consider_v do_v teach_v we_o to_o give_v unto_o god_n the_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o as_o well_o for_o the_o free_a &_o undeserved_a beginning_n as_o for_o the_o free_a and_o undeserved_a continue_v of_o his_o mercy_n towards_o we_o that_o

which_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v never_o have_v learn_v and_o so_o forewarn_v of_o these_o byway_n of_o our_o own_o devise_v and_o devotion_n which_o lead_v unto_o destruction_n for_o it_o can_v

to_o be_v take_v from_o our_o good_a intent_n and_o well_o meaning_n and_o not_o from_o the_o lord_n our_o master_n his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o like_n if_o a_o master_n shall_v not_o have_v prescribe_v his_o servant_n what_o to_o do_v or_o to_o leave_v undo_v there_o be_v more_o to_o be_v say_v for_o his_o good_a meaning_n although_o it_o do_v go_v from_o the_o good_a like_n of_o his_o master_n which_o be_v not_o utter_v unto_o he_o but_o when_o the_o master_n shall_v make_v know_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n by_o his_o word_n there_o be_v no_o excuse_n leave_v unto_o good_a

and_o good_a meaning_n even_o from_o the_o lord_n own_o mouth_n there_o be_v also_o a_o other_o singular_a benefit_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o law_n and_o several_a commandment_n of_o god_n

so_o as_o the_o neglect_v of_o any_o duty_n set_v forth_o by_o the_o law_n redound_v to_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n the_o often_o peruse_v therefore_o of_o the_o
