understand_v that_o it_o be_v time_n for_o we_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o to_o god_n then_o or_o never_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o in_o this_o text_n moses_n put_v the_o people_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o punishment_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o such_o as_o worship_v the_o idol_n of_o ammon_n which_o be_v call_v beelphegor_a but_o we_o have_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o to_o mark_v which_o be_v that_o god_n spare_v we_o and_o punish_v other_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v learn_v wit_n at_o other_o man_n cost_n as_o they_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v step_v to_o we_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n and_o correct_v we_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o or_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v look_v for_o vengeance_n at_o his_o hand_n yet_o ought_v we_o to_o take_v it_o as_o a_o token_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o his_o will_n be_v to_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o he_o set_v the_o say_a chastisement_n before_o we_o to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o his_o punish_v of_o offender_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n &_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o same_o for_o a_o warn_n to_o ourselves_o and_o so_o do_v moses_n use_v it_o here_o for_o he_o say_v not_o god_n will_v punish_v you_o if_o you_o offend_v but_o he_o say_v you_o have_v see_v how_o they_o be_v punish_v which_o worship_v beelphegor_a now_o therefore_o prevent_v god_n wrath_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o you_o &_o set_v on_o fire_n but_o cleave_v simple_o to_o his_o word_n and_o let_v the_o correction_n that_o he_o have_v show_v you_o avail_v you_o &_o not_o be_v show_v you_o in_o vain_a thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o lord_n utter_v not_o his_o threaten_n unto_o all_o man_n but_o show_v we_o how_o he_o punish_v the_o unbeliever_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v of_o their_o number_n lest_o we_o shall_v be_v wrap_v

not_o deceive_v for_o god_n wrath_n come_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n for_o such_o thing_n he_o say_v not_o that_o god_n wrath_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o but_o he_o temper_v his_o speech_n and_o say_v consider_v that_o god_n punish_v the_o unbeliever_n for_o such_o cause_n and_o therefore_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o their_o number_n and_o company_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n speak_v he_o likewise_o in_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n â—â—_o 1._o cor._n â—â—_o after_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o how_o god_n have_v punish_v idolater_n rebel_n and_o such_o as_o

that_o he_o be_v about_o to_o warn_v they_o to_o their_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n now_o remain_v to_o apply_v this_o gear_n to_o our_o use_n when_o god_n send_v any_o trouble_n upon_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o be_v so_o sore_o displease_v for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o offence_n and_o misdeed_n that_o have_v be_v commit_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v y_z t_o god_n show_v himself_o a_o judge_n in_o punish_v sin_n but_o do_v that_o serve_v only_o for_o they_o that_o feel_v the_o stroke_n no_o god_n will_v be_v to_o show_v

o_o lord_n when_o thou_o execute_a thy_o judgement_n the_o dweller_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v learn_v righteousness_n for_o when_o god_n wink_v and_o punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a and_o

the_o read_n or_o hear_v of_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a that_o our_o lord_n jest_v not_o when_o he_o speak_v after_o that_o manner_n and_o when_o he_o protest_v thus_o by_o his_o prophet_n esay_n

as_o be_v fit_n for_o their_o salvation_n now_o remain_v how_o moses_n add_v that_o the_o people_n have_v hear_v god_n voice_n continue_v still_o alive_a whereby_o he_o do_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v by_o his_o presence_n and_o by_o his_o word_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o mountain_n melt_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o

follow_v the_o doctrine_n that_o our_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o whereby_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o put_v this_o

therefore_o let_v every_o of_o we_o on_o his_o own_o behalf_n learn_v to_o bear_v god_n benefit_n well_o in_o mind_n let_v not_o the_o poor_a murmur_n though_o they_o wot_v not_o oftentimes_o which_o

they_o shall_v the_o better_o know_v he_o and_o honour_n he_o for_o although_o the_o scotfree_a sort_n may_v now_o and_o then_o allege_v that_o they_o have_v take_v much_o pain_n in_o gather_v the_o

be_v as_o a_o allure_a of_o you_o to_o repentance_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v sometime_o chastise_v we_o sharp_o to_o waken_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o know_v our_o fault_n that_o we_o

must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v reverence_v as_o our_o judge_n and_o offer_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a before_o he_o as_o he_o suffer_v not_o any_o falsehood_n to_o abide_v

of_o their_o own_o salvation_n or_o welfare_n now_o furthermore_o moses_n add_v that_o god_n affection_n towards_o that_o people_n &_o his_o love_a of_o they_o to_o choose_v their_o seed_n proceed_v only_o of_o his_o own_o good_a wil._n your_o god_n say_v he_o have_v dominion_n over_o heaven_n &_o earth_n and_o yet_o notw_v tstanding_n he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o be_v your_o lord_n what_o be_v

the_o first_o word_n which_o he_o use_v signify_v sometime_o to_o cleave_v unto_o &_o sometime_o to_o take_v pleasure_n but_o here_o the_o proper_a &_o natural_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n take_v pleasure_n in_o that_o people_n so_o that_o he_o acquaint_v himself_o with_o they_o through_o a_o free_a love_n for_o he_o add_v the_o word_n love_v thereunto_o you_o see_v then_o that_o

for_o as_o much_o as_o few_o folk_n do_v call_v upon_o god_n when_o the_o world_n favour_v they_o therefore_o do_v god_n also_o make_v no_o account_n of_o they_o behold_v it_o be_v the_o widow_n the_o

that_o by_o such_o example_n moses_n have_v well_o confirm_v the_o lesson_n which_o he_o have_v set_v down_o namely_o that_o god_n respect_v no_o person_n for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v despise_v in_o the_o world_n be_v precious_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o who_o man_n hold_v scorn_n to_o bestow_v a_o look_n upon_o they_o do_v he_o give_v good_a care_n unto_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o

which_o shall_v hear_v the_o law_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n have_v give_v they_o shall_v say_v behold_v here_o a_o excellent_a and_o noble_a people_n now_o as_o for_o those_o that_o hold_v

that_o the_o question_n be_v resolve_v in_o this_o wise_a namely_o that_o as_o many_o of_o the_o heathen_a as_o have_v know_v and_o taste_v well_o the_o doctrine_n that_o god_n have_v deliver_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n confess_v as_o truth_n be_v that_o god_n choose_v of_o a_o certain_a people_n for_o himself_o be_v a_o great_a and_o singular_a privilege_n but_o very_o few_o of_o they_o vouchsafe_v to_o consider_v that_o for_o all_o of_o they_o lie_v welter_v still_o in_o their_o own_o dung_n and_o although_o it_o be_v apparent_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n have_v a_o

to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enjoy_v it_o for_o all_o this_o be_v treat_v of_o by_o moses_n to_o the_o intent_n it_o shall_v be_v apply_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o learn_v to_o serve_v our_o god_n with_o

tell_v they_o that_o god_n will_v succour_v we_o even_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o require_v at_o his_o hand_n his_o intent_n be_v also_o to_o encourage_v folk_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o make_v they_o to_o blame_v themselves_o for_o their_o own_o negligence_n whensoever_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o help_n and_o succour_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o to_o do_v we_o to_o understande_v

this_o day_n it_o be_v very_o well_o see_v that_o god_n be_v against_o they_o for_o they_o be_v as_o rot_a member_n and_o their_o body_n be_v tear_v in_o piece_n and_o there_o remain_v not_o any_o
