still_o persist_v in_o a_o opinion_n that_o they_o be_v patriot_n and_o godly_a man_n but_o what_o do_v we_o speak_v of_o moses_n or_o of_o oblique_a and_o consequential_a act_n against_o god_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o of_o their_o stupidity_n and_o infidelity_n 7._o they_o understand_v not_o his_o wonder_n in_o egypt_n how_o long_o say_v god_n will_v it_o be_v ere_o they_o believe_v i_o 11._o for_o all_o the_o sign_n which_o i_o have_v wrought_v among_o they_o neither_o sign_n among_o they_o nor_o sign_n upon_o they_o can_v cause_v they_o to_o believe_v he_o smite_v they_o for_o their_o unbelief_n 32._o and_o for_o all_o this_o they_o sin_v still_o and_o believe_v not_o for_o all_o his_o wondrous_a work_n it_o tell_v of_o their_o forgetfulness_n they_o forget_v god_n their_o saviour_n 11._o which_o have_v do_v so_o great_a thing_n for_o they_o they_o soon_o forget_v his_o work_n and_o his_o wonder_n of_o their_o falseness_n and_o treachery_n 37._o their_o heart_n be_v not_o set_v aright_o their_o spirit_n be_v not_o steadfast_a when_o he_o slay_v they_o they_o will_v seek_v he_o for_o a_o while_n but_o they_o do_v but_o flatter_v he_o with_o their_o lip_n 36._o and_o dissemble_v with_o their_o double_a heart_n it_o tell_v of_o their_o base_a idolatry_n they_o change_v their_o glory_n for_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o calf_n 24._o yea_o they_o offer_v their_o son_n and_o daughter_n unto_o devil_n of_o their_o pride_n and_o scornfulness_n they_o despise_v the_o pleasant_a land_n they_o be_v a_o provoke_a generation_n a_o stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a nation_n 40._o how_o often_o do_v they_o provoke_v god_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o grieve_v he_o in_o the_o desert_n many_o a_o time_n do_v he_o deliver_v they_o but_o they_o provoke_v he_o with_o their_o counsel_n he_o divide_v the_o sea_n for_o their_o passage_n and_o cleave_v the_o rock_n for_o their_o sustenance_n and_o cover_v they_o with_o a_o cloud_n for_o their_o protection_n and_o they_o sin_v yet_o the_o more_o they_o tempt_v he_o they_o speak_v against_o he_o they_o provoke_v he_o at_o the_o sea_n even_o at_o the_o red_a sea_n they_o turn_v back_o and_o tempt_v god_n and_o limit_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n in_o one_o word_n they_o be_v a_o rebellious_a house_n 44._o a_o stiff-necked_a people_n 78._o they_o keep_v not_o the_o covenant_n which_o themselves_o have_v make_v they_o will_v none_o of_o his_o precept_n they_o despise_v his_o promise_n and_o his_o threaten_n 4._o their_o neck_n have_v a_o iron_n sinew_n and_o they_o have_v a_o brow_n of_o brass_n this_o be_v their_o behaviour_n even_o then_o when_o god_n miracle_n be_v fresh_a and_o moses_n be_v still_o among_o they_o and_o god_n foresee_v that_o after_o his_o decease_n they_o will_v provoke_v he_o yet_o more_o this_o be_v that_o requital_n which_o stir_v and_o inflame_v the_o spirit_n of_o moses_n and_o quicken_v he_o to_o that_o abrupt_a expostulation_n the_o first_o general_a part_n of_o the_o text_n whereof_o i_o have_v hitherto_o be_v give_v a_o account_n do_v you_o thus_o requite_v the_o lord_n you_o have_v see_v some_o part_n of_o israel_n ingratitude_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o consider_v the_o turpitude_n and_o the_o imprudence_n of_o this_o ingratitude_n which_o give_v occasion_n for_o the_o censure_n here_o pass_v upon_o they_o o_o foolish_a people_n and_o unwise_a and_o first_o of_o the_o turpitude_n of_o their_o ingratitude_n whereby_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o they_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d now_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o unworthiness_n of_o their_o ingratitude_n against_o god_n in_o all_o the_o aggravation_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o task_n too_o heavy_a for_o i_o nay_o even_o for_o angel_n and_o moses_n when_o he_o be_v inspire_v and_o in_o the_o height_n of_o his_o rapture_n do_v not_o attempt_v it_o but_o make_v a_o chasm_n and_o draw_v a_o veil_n over_o that_o part_n insinuate_v it_o to_o be_v unexpressible_a i_o shall_v not_o therefore_o offer_v at_o impossibility_n but_o follow_v the_o method_n which_o the_o scripture_n have_v provide_v for_o we_o in_o like_a case_n it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o thing_n concern_v god_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o bait_v the_o mind_n and_o train_v it_o on_o by_o exercise_v it_o in_o the_o analogy_n of_o thing_n familiar_a the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o his_o choose_a people_n iâ—_n incomprehensible_a to_o give_v we_o therefore_o a_o little_a notion_n of_o it_o the_o
perfect_o yet_o it_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n be_v collect_v it_o remain_v that_o we_o consider_v the_o imprudence_n of_o it_o o_o foolish_a people_n and_o unwise_a iii_o i_o may_v not_o i_o need_v not_o insist_v long_o upon_o this_o argument_n there_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v but_o these_o five_o supposition_n which_o possible_o may_v exempt_v they_o from_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o text_n 1._o if_o their_o god_n be_v like_o the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o do_v not_o know_v their_o behaviour_n towards_o he_o or_o 2._o if_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o epicurus_n and_o do_v not_o resent_v it_o or_o 3_o if_o they_o can_v escape_v from_o he_o or_o 4._o if_o they_o can_v excuse_v themselves_o to_o he_o or_o 5._o if_o they_o be_v able_a to_o support_v themselves_o against_o he_o if_o none_o of_o these_o be_v in_o the_o case_n they_o will_v stand_v convict_v of_o horrible_a imprudence_n it_o will_v then_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v a_o foolish_a people_n and_o unwise_a of_o these_o thing_n brief_o 1._o do_v not_o god_n know_v their_o behaviour_n the_o psalmist_n indeed_o tell_v of_o a_o brutish_a people_n which_o wrought_v all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n and_o yet_o they_o say_v 11._o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o see_v it_o neither_o shall_v the_o god_n of_o jacob_n regard_v it_o but_o o_o you_o fool_n say_v he_o when_o will_v you_o be_v wise_a he_o that_o plant_v the_o ear_n shall_v he_o not_o hear_v he_o that_o form_v the_o eye_n shall_v not_o he_o see_v he_o that_o teach_v man_n knowledge_n shall_v not_o he_o know_v the_o lord_n know_v the_o thought_n of_o man_n 10._o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n run_v to_o and_o fro_o through_o the_o whole_a earth_n â—1_n behold_v the_o evil_a &_o the_o good_a for_o the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o ponder_v all_o his_o go_n he_o penetrate_v all_o thing_n and_o search_v all_o thing_n 11._o if_o they_o say_v peradventure_o theâ—_n darkness_n shall_v cover_v they_o then_o shall_v the_o night_n be_v turn_v into_o day_n the_o darkness_n be_v no_o darkness_n with_o he_o but_o the_o night_n be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o day_n 2._o but_o it_o may_v be_v though_o he_o know_v their_o behaviour_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o concern_v himself_o about_o they_o it_o may_v be_v he_o do_v not_o much_o resent_v their_o deal_n with_o he_o neither_o if_o they_o be_v righteous_a be_v he_o the_o better_a neither_o if_o they_o be_v wicked_a be_v he_o the_o worse_o thy_o wickedness_n may_v hurt_v a_o man_n as_o thou_o be_v and_o thy_o righteousness_n may_v profit_v the_o son_n of_o man_n but_o if_o thou_o sin_v what_o do_v thou_o against_o he_o and_o if_o thy_o transgression_n be_v multiply_v what_o do_v thou_o unto_o he_o nay_o but_o do_v not_o he_o concern_v himself_o for_o they_o what_o mean_v then_o the_o sound_v of_o his_o bowel_n towards_o they_o what_o mean_v such_o pathetical_a exclamation_n as_o these_o 29._o o_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o heart_n in_o they_o that_o they_o will_v keep_v my_o commandment_n always_o that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o with_o they_o and_o with_o their_o seed_n for_o ever_o again_o o_o that_o they_o be_v wise_a 29._o that_o they_o understand_v this_o that_o they_o will_v consider_v their_o latter_a end_n o_o that_o they_o have_v hearken_v what_o iniquity_n have_v they_o find_v in_o i_o do_v not_o he_o resent_v it_o when_o they_o make_v the_o calf_n he_o say_v behold_v i_o have_v see_v this_o people_n and_o it_o be_v a_o stiff-necked_a people_n 9_o let_v i_o alone_o 13._o that_o i_o may_v blot_v out_o their_o name_n from_o under_o heaven_n when_o they_o murmur_v i_o will_v come_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o consume_v they_o at_o once_o when_o they_o rebel_v against_o moses_n 25._o get_v you_o up_o from_o among_o they_o that_o i_o may_v consume_v they_o in_o a_o moment_n when_o they_o tempt_v he_o and_o question_v his_o power_n 23._o he_o hear_v it_o and_o be_v wroth_a and_o great_o abhor_a israel_n many_o a_o time_n will_v he_o have_v destroy_v they_o have_v not_o moses_n stand_v in_o the_o gap_n to_o turn_v aways_o his_o anger_n 3._o but_o possible_o for_o all_o this_o there_o may_v be_v some_o way_n to_o escape_v from_o he_o and_o to_o convey_v themselves_o out_o of_o the_o sphere_n of_o his_o activity_n there_o have_v be_v those_o who_o have_v conceive_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v a_o topical_a god_n 29._o a_o god_n of_o the_o mountain_n only_o and_o that_o the_o valley_n be_v out_o of_o his_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n true_a but_o because_o the_o syrian_n say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o god_n of_o the_o valley_n he_o deliver_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o israel_n who_o slay_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o footman_n in_o one_o day_n nay_o but_o behold_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n can_v contain_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n he_o fill_v all_o thing_n shall_v they_o escape_v for_o their_o wickedness_n whither_o can_v they_o go_v then_o from_o his_o spirit_n 7._o or_o whither_o can_v they_o flee_v from_o his_o presence_n if_o they_o can_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o be_v there_o if_o they_o can_v make_v their_o bed_n in_o hell_n behold_v he_o be_v there_o 4._o but_o though_o they_o can_v escape_v out_o of_o his_o reach_n possible_o they_o may_v plead_v something_o in_o excuse_n of_o their_o do_n which_o may_v mitigate_v his_o indignation_n perhaps_o they_o be_v ignorant_a that_o god_n be_v concern_v ignorant_a of_o his_o will_n and_o of_o his_o way_n they_o have_v no_o instruction_n they_o have_v no_o warning_n of_o their_o danger_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o they_o have_v they_o no_o caveat_n take_v heed_n say_v moses_n keep_v thy_o soul_n diligent_o 9_o lest_o thou_o forget_v the_o thing_n which_o thy_o eye_n have_v see_v 11._o when_o thou_o shall_v have_v eat_v and_o be_v full_a then_o beware_v lest_o thou_o forget_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n have_v they_o no_o memento_n how_o often_o do_v god_n command_v they_o to_o bind_v his_o precept_n and_o his_o prodigy_n for_o a_o sign_n 9_o and_o a_o token_n and_o a_o memorial_n upon_o their_o hand_n 11._o for_o

19_o i_o call_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o record_v this_o day_n against_o you_o say_v moses_n that_o i_o have_v set_v before_o you_o life_n and_o death_n blessing_n and_o curse_v have_v they_o no_o
