how_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o use_n namely_o that_o the_o judgement_n and_o authority_n be_v go_n for_o if_o we_o do_v so_o we_o may_v well_o see_v many_o contrariety_n

more_o when_o he_o threaten_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o his_o judgement_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o he_o be_v provoke_v the_o threaten_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n but_o have_v their_o effect_n and_o performance_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o purpose_n moses_n rehearse_v again_o that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v above_o twenty_o year_n old_a at_o the_o time_n that_o the_o people_n murmur_v be_v consume_v and_o that_o not_o by_o casualty_n but_o according_a to_o the_o lord_n

let_v we_o also_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o god_n can_v abide_v that_o man_n shall_v despise_v and_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v and_o let_v occasion_n slip_v for_o if_o he_o

unto_o they_o it_o be_v for_o that_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o we_o see_v then_o that_o unthankfulness_n provoke_v god_n vengeance_n against_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a special_o when_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v we_o and_o that_o such_o refusal_n proceed_v of_o wilfulness_n and_o malice_n which_o happen_v

they_o have_v their_o delight_n sport_n and_o triumph_n at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o that_o be_v to_o try_v our_o patience_n nevertheless_o sometime_o god_n set_v they_o languish_v as_o well_o as_o

than_o if_o he_o shall_v send_v they_o their_o punishment_n out_o of_o hand_n this_o say_v i_o stick_v fast_o in_o our_o remembrance_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o be_v better_o teach_v by_o the_o

be_v able_a to_o make_v god_n servant_n quite_o out_o of_o patience_n but_o what_o for_o that_o we_o must_v take_v courage_n as_o saint_n paul_n comfort_v us._n he_o say_v that_o whether_o god_n

i_o wot_v not_o what_o to_o do_v let_v we_o not_o allege_v this_o 25.9_o â—sa_fw-la 25.9_o but_o let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o prophet_n esay_n behold_v this_o be_v our_o god_n behold_v this_o be_v

of_o the_o people_n therefore_o in_o our_o pray_n unto_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v the_o perseveraunce_n whereunto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n exhort_v we_o 〈…〉_o luk._n 〈…〉_o say_v that_o we_o

the_o apostle_n have_v the_o chief_a charge_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v this_o call_n upon_o god_n to_o belong_v chief_o unto_o they_o 〈…〉_o 2._o cor._n 〈…〉_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o humble_v himself_o for_o the_o corinthian_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o chastisement_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o person_n

preach_v god_n word_n and_o of_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n must_v not_o only_o employ_v themselves_o that_o way_n but_o also_o to_o prayer_n and_o chief_o when_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v amiss_o and_o disorder_n among_o the_o people_n then_o ought_v they_o most_o special_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v

for_o although_o all_o of_o we_o from_o the_o most_o to_o the_o least_o be_v priest_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n to_o teach_v and_o to_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v and_o therefore_o let_v such_o as_o be_v call_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o god_n word_n understande_v that_o they_o must_v strain_n

god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n the_o word_n bless_v betoken_v to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v god_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o matter_n here_o concern_v those_o who_o god_n do_v special_o ordain_v to_o bless_v in_o his_o name_n we_o must_v fetch_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n out_o of_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o number_n notwithstanding_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o moses_n 6.24_o numb_a 6.24_o but_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v more_o express_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v i_o coat_v the_o text_n it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o house_n of_o levy_v shall_v bless_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o say_v the_o lord_n bless_v you_o and_o keep_v you_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v upon_o you_o and_o grant_v you_o his_o mercy_n the_o lord_n turn_v his_o favourable_a face_n towards_o you_o &_o bless_v you_o now_o hereby_o we_o perceive_v that_o it_o behove_v the_o levites_n not_o only_o to_o praise_n god_n as_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o do_v but_o also_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o his_o name_n for_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a thing_n so_o that_o to_o bless_v the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o do_v of_o homage_n unto_o he_o for_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o by_o protest_v ourselves_o to_o hold_v all_o thing_n of_o his_o only_a mere_a goodness_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o so_o as_o without_o he_o we_o be_v miserable_a and_o have_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n in_o we_o furtherforth_o than_o he_o alone_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o it_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o to_o bless_v god_n and_o to_o magnify_v his_o name_n be_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v come_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o only_a mere_a free_a goodness_n now_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o levite_n as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v their_o office_n to_o sing_v 1â—_n 1._o chro._n 1â—_n and_o although_o that_o all_o the_o people_n be_v present_a there_o &_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o

of_o god_n and_o how_o be_v that_o they_o witness_v god_n grace_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o the_o same_o thing_n take_v place_n still_o at_o this_o day_n in_o such_o as_o be_v ordain_v minister_n

for_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o accurse_v and_o reprobate_a and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o wretchedness_n wherein_o we_o be_v which_o to_o do_v there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_v but_o only_o that_o god_n show_v himself_o loving_a and_o favourable_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o blessing_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o

before_o i_o be_v bear_v y_z t_z the_o earth_n may_v have_v swallow_a i_o up_o after_o that_o manner_n ought_v a_o child_n to_o think_v but_o forasmuch_o as_o youth_n lack_v discretion_n &_o child_n be_v not_o so_o reformable_a of_o themselves_o as_o be_v requisite_a at_o leastwise_o let_v they_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o other_o and_o if_o their_o father_n spy_v any_o vice_n in_o they_o let_v they_o acknowledge_v it_o when_o they_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o it_o and_o not_o only_o confess_v the_o misdeed_n but_o also_o reform_v it_o for_o it_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n when_o a_o child_n hold_v on_o in_o his_o unthriftinesse_n after_o he_o have_v make_v pretence_n of_o repentance_n by_o humble_v himself_o before_o his_o father_n if_o he_o change_v not_o his_o

two_o part_n the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o a_o offender_n be_v execute_v by_o order_n of_o law_n man_n must_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o hang_n of_o his_o body_n why_o so_o for_o a_o witness_n

let_v we_o note_v that_o whereas_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o of_o vow_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v indifferent_o of_o any_o thing_n which_o a_o man_n shall_v listen_v to_o promise_v at_o random_n and_o

that_o every_o of_o we_o do_v discharge_v himself_o of_o his_o duty_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n be_v so_o perverse_a and_o wicked_a that_o the_o rich_a seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o deceive_v the_o

to_o know_v that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o deliverance_n than_o that_o which_o have_v be_v promise_v so_o long_o before_o for_o have_v not_o that_o be_v they_o may_v have_v bear_v themselves_o in_o

that_o work_v and_o he_o give_v i_o a_o token_n thereof_o i_o must_v therefore_o apply_v it_o unto_o my_o instruction_n &_o not_o say_v this_o happen_v unto_o i_o by_o chance_n i_o have_v have_v

for_o the_o only_a author_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n now_o in_o effect_n we_o see_v here_o that_o whereas_o god_n deliver_v unto_o the_o jew_n such_o a_o set_a form_n of_o

this_o common_a order_n with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n may_v well_o protest_v that_o they_o be_v christian_n but_o they_o come_v to_o the_o church_n as_o holy_a as_o horse_n bear_v

that_o be_v because_o they_o never_o try_v it_o they_o that_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v most_o faithful_a have_v never_o taste_v what_o faith_n be_v according_a as_o we_o see_v a_o great_a many_o

that_o have_v a_o speculative_a faith_n they_o make_v themselves_o y_o e_fw-la able_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n they_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o faithful_a as_o any_o can_v be_v find_v but_o they_o that_o know_v what_o faith_n be_v do_v understande_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o hard_a than_o for_o we_o to_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n and_o in_o that_o behalf_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o imprison_v our_o sense_n and_o to_o take_v the_o bit_n in_o our_o mouth_n as_o they_o say_v and_o to_o enforce_v ourselves_o yea_o and_o that_o god_n also_o on_o his_o side_n do_v

of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o they_o bear_v no_o great_a sway_n with_o we_o or_o rather_o that_o they_o enter_v not_o into_o our_o heart_n to_o settle_v there_o as_o be_v meet_v they_o shall_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o moses_n mean_v in_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o forsake_v his_o people_n moreover_o under_o this_o word_n he_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n offer_v of_o his_o grace_n unto_o we_o be_v not_o for_o a_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v continue_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n conditional_o that_o we_o also_o do_v receive_v it_o with_o the_o like_a

of_o the_o inheritance_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n now_o he_o say_v express_o thy_o god_n will_v never_o leave_v thou_o neither_o will_v he_o ever_o forsake_v thou_o we_o see_v therefore_o that_o our_o lord_n mean_v not_o to_o encourage_v we_o for_o a_o day_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v depend_v upon_o he_o to_o live_v and_o to_o die_v and_o that_o we_o shall_v

this_o be_v to_o be_v well_o note_v because_o that_o although_o man_n embrace_v god_n promise_n yet_o be_v they_o sometime_o or_o other_o in_o doubt_n and_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v and_o

a_o sway_n somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v confirm_v in_o this_o doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v thou_o neither_o shall_v thou_o ever_o be_v forsake_v of_o he_o now_o when_o moses_n have_v thus_o speak_v to_o the_o people_n then_o he_o call_v also_o josuah_n and_o confirm_v he_o and_o moreover_o in_o the_o person_n of_o josuah_n we_o may_v perceive_v the_o thing_n yet_o better_a which_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o namely_o y_fw-fr t_o it_o suffice_v we_o not_o to_o be_v once_o certify_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n but_o that_o because_o of_o our_o weakness_n we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v uphold_v &_o maintain_v lest_o we_o fall_v away_o or_o swerve_v aside_o for_o behold_v here_o be_v josuah_n who_o god_n have_v choose_v to_o be_v governor_n of_o his_o people_n to_o set_v they_o in_o y_z e_z possession_n of_o their_o promise_a inheritance_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v hear_v his_o

again_o and_o how_o so_o be_v he_o so_o short_a witted_a that_o ere_o three_o day_n to_o a_o end_n he_o have_v quite_o forget_v what_o have_v be_v say_v unto_o he_o before_o god_n and_o the_o

for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o faith_n shall_v be_v try_v to_o weet_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o uprightness_n soundness_n and_o love_n before_o our_o god_n or_o whether_o there_o be_v
