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

say_v in_o another_o place_n that_o as_o now_o the_o gospel_n represent_v god_n majesty_n in_o such_o wise_a unto_o we_o 18._o 2_o cor._n 3._o â—_o 18._o as_o we_o may_v see_v he_o there_o but_o the_o

we_o be_v not_o yet_o make_v partaker_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v come_v near_o he_o but_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o reveile_v himself_o to_o we_o according_a to_o our_o

but_o according_a as_o man_n may_v be_v able_a to_o abide_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v always_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o god_n neither_o be_v know_v of_o the_o father_n nor_o appear_v to_o we_o at_o this_o day_n in_o his_o substance_n but_o appli_v himself_o to_o we_o insomuch_o as_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o stoop_v to_o make_v we_o perceive_v his_o presence_n according_a to_o our_o

guess_v only_o so_o as_o they_o may_v doubt_v or_o only_o conceive_v some_o opinion_n of_o he_o but_o that_o they_o have_v a_o infallible_a warrant_n so_o as_o they_o may_v conclude_v thus_o here_o be_v our_o god_n who_o have_v so_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o as_o our_o faith_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v any_o more_o uncertain_a neither_o aught_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o his_o name_n to_o be_v any_o more_o debate_v in_o way_n of_o disputation_n as_o whether_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o be_v receive_v or_o no._n and_o why_o for_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o sure_a mark_n which_o can_v deceive_v we_o nor_o leave_v we_o in_o doubt_n that_o it_o proceed_v not_o from_o he_o thus_o we_o see_v now_o the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n hereupon_o we_o have_v a_o good_a lesson_n to_o gather_v which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n utter_v not_o himself_o in_o such_o stately_a manner_n as_o our_o like_n can_v afford_v we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o his_o so_o do_v be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o welfare_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v our_o own_o infirmity_n it_o will_v pull_v down_o our_o overlustinesse_n whereto_o our_o nature_n provoke_v we_o continual_o for_o we_o will_v be_v inquire_v of_o
after_o god_n have_v once_o speak_v he_o add_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v and_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v a_o horrible_a blasphemy_n when_o man_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o find_v some_o better_a thing_n than_o be_v contain_v in_o god_n law_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o will_v reprove_v he_o as_o a_o liar_n or_o say_v he_o be_v misaduised_a or_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v what_o he_o shall_v have_v command_v but_o can_v man_n find_v any_o better_a way_n no._n then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a unto_o god_n as_o we_o may_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o when_o god_n have_v once_o speak_v he_o make_v a_o final_a end_n and_o conclusion_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v hold_v you_o there_o these_o be_v my_o bound_n and_o list_n whosoever_o go_v any_o further_a he_o shall_v break_v his_o neck_n so_o as_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o fall_v if_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o right_a way_n which_o god_n have_v make_v and_o hedge_v in_o after_o that_o fashion_n and_o although_o god_n speak_v not_o present_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n as_o he_o do_v then_o yet_o ought_v we_o to_o bethink_v we_o oftentimes_o of_o this_o lesson_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o law_n in_o deed_n god_n speak_v not_o twice_o but_o he_o speak_v once_o for_o all_o as_o they_o say_v we_o on_o our_o part_n ought_v to_o hear_v it_o often_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o threescore_o and_o second_o psalm_n 62.12_o psal._n 62.12_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v once_o and_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o but_o my_o hear_n of_o it_o be_v not_o for_o once_o and_o away_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o twice_o hereby_o we_o be_v warn_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o

occupy_v himself_o in_o they_o morning_n and_o evening_n all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o life_n 1.2_o psal._n 1.2_o and_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o record_n well_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v tell_v and_o declare_v unto_o us._n for_o though_o we_o shall_v apply_v ourselves_o to_o they_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n hardly_o shall_v we_o attain_v to_o the_o one_o half_a of_o our_o journey_n it_o be_v true_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o our_o lord_n will_v instruct_v we_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o shall_v be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v need_n to_o profit_v more_o and_o more_o in_o god_n word_n therefore_o let_v we_o be_v diligent_a and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v our_o labour_n lose_v when_o we_o take_v y_fw-fr t_o way_n and_o apply_v our_o whole_a stody_n daily_o thereunto_o so_o as_o we_o never_o leave_v search_v and_o seek_v out_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n teach_v

three_o point_n which_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v from_o the_o midst_n of_o fire_n cloud_n and_o whirlwind_n in_o deed_n this_o have_v be_v expound_v already_o heretofore_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v repeat_v by_o moses_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o superfluous_a and_o in_o deed_n it_o can_v be_v tell_v we_o too_o often_o that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o carry_v a_o majesty_n towards_o we_o to_o make_v all_o our_o wit_n to_o stoop_v and_o to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o it_o and_o why_o first_o we_o see_v there_o be_v such_o pride_n in_o man_n as_o they_o can_v bow_v their_o neck_n it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o they_o intend_v to_o resist_v god_n or_o to_o bid_v he_o battle_n but_o whatsoever_o they_o say_v be_v they_o pliable_a and_o meek_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o they_o come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o again_o there_o be_v a_o blockishness_n in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o dote_v upon_o these_o worldly_a thing_n we_o can_v raise_v up_o our_o wit_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o that_o spiritual_a wisdom_n because_o our_o wit_n be_v occupy_v afore_o hand_n about_o the_o affair_n and_o care_n of_o the_o world_n and_o we_o need_v nothing_o to_o hold_v we_o here_o beneath_o therefore_o it_o be_v great_o for_o our_o benefit_n that_o our_o lord_n shall_v touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v yield_v such_o reverence_n to_o his_o word_n as_o it_o may_v not_o die_v partly_o through_o our_o stubbornness_n and_o partly_o through_o our_o

hold_v down_o here_o in_o these_o corruptible_a thing_n and_o therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v god_n speak_v from_o the_o midst_n of_o fire_n cloud_n and_o whirlwind_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o set_v forth_o his_o law_n for_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v touch_v with_o some_o fear_n so_o as_o they_o may_v say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dally_a with_o

that_o the_o worst_a corruption_n which_o can_v befall_v a_o nation_n be_v to_o have_v despiser_n of_o god_n that_o falsify_v the_o true_a religion_n or_o to_o have_v upholder_n of_o satan_n that_o

and_o therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n be_v we_o so_o strait_o command_v in_o no_o wise_a to_o bear_v with_o man_n when_o they_o become_v wicked_a and_o go_v about_o to_o invegle_v folk_n to_o do_v
