dayly exhortactyoÌ„s meÌ„ wax hard harted tho row that deceatfulns of siÌ„ue He that hath the grace coÌ„syder perceaue wel the stat of vnbeleffe speacilli wheÌ„ the hart is once hardned thorow synÌ„eâ— shall not me ruayle the saynt Paule sayeth take hede For suer he that will serue the lord must take hede feare for he shal haue many emmies Eccle. ii the the feare of the lorde is the ryght goddes seruyce sayeth syrach het serueth god wel that feareth to displese hi now ar all those thinges wrytten for our lernyng that we mought lerne both by examples exhortacions to feare god do his wyl Exo. ii vii viii xi x. xiiii The chyldren of Israel after that the egyptyans be gonne to make slaues of then cryed vnto the lord and syghed to be dely ueredat but after the the lordehade wrought many wonders in Egypt for their delyueraunce and caused the sea to open gaue theÌ„ rome and pharao with his hoost drowned yet al this notwithstandynge asson as any temptacion arose they forgart altogether Ex. xv xvi xvii Gene. xvii xxv xxxv Exo. xiii Exo. xxxii Nu xxxv psal c. vi murmured agaynste the lorde wyshed the they had dyed in Egypt althoughe the lorde had promised their fathers abraaÌ„ isaac Iacob to multyplye their seade blesse theÌ„ bryng theÌ„ into the land the floweth with milk hony yea that lord weÌ„t with theÌ„m the pyller of a clowde by day by nyght iÌ„ a pyller of fyre All thys notwithstandyng I saye for euery tryfle they murmured gruged wyshyng theÌ„ selues agayn in egypte euen dispysyng the boyce of the lord ther god made theÌ„ other goddes serued the goddes of the nacyoÌ„s went a whoring after ther owne inuencyons for which the lord plaged them often very sore Thes are examples vnto vs sayeth saynt Paule that we should not lustafter euel thynges i. cor x. as they lusted nether be ye worshypers of images as were soÌ„ of them accordynge as it is wrytten the people sate downe to eate drynke rose vp to play Exo. xxxii Nn. xxv Nu xxi nether let vs coÌ„myt

murmured were distroyed of the dystroyer All these happened vnto them for ensamples sayeth saynt paule but they are wrytteÌ„ towarne vs vpoÌ„ whom the ende of the worlde is come therefore let him that thinketh he stondeth take hede lest he fal These be saynt paules wordes And I wold wyshe from my very harte that all men from the hyest to the loweste wolde wey them ernestly For they be wrytten for oure learnyng to th enteÌ„t that we shuld take hed frar god flee such oftences lest we provoke the lorde to cast vs of foreuer He speaketh eueÌ„ to the wysest among men saynge let him the thinketh he staÌ„deth take hede lest he fall Thys waruyng of saint Paul may not be forgotten take hede therfore breth ten the there be not in any of you an euel hart of vnbelef to depart froÌ„ the lyuyug god Wher withal shall ayoung maÌ„ cleÌ„â—e his way psal c. ix sayth dauid he answereth him selfe sayth euen by rulyng him selfe after the word of god but he the goeth besyde the word of the lord must nedes fal though he thynke hi selfe neuer so sure For what is maÌ„ oryâ— wisdoÌ„m of maÌ„ i. cor i is not wysdoÌ„ of the world foly shnes with godâ— The lord bade Moyses send out samu xiii xii men to spye owte the land of canaue For he wuld geue It to the chyldrenne of Israele in possessyon Moyses dyd so and chose of euery of the xii tribes one to go spye out the land And the no 〈◊〉 fooles but eueÌ„ of the thefe of the trybes And ther they found a frutful cuÌ„tre flowiÌ„g with mylk houy They brought of the grapes pomgranettes and fygges All thys was accordinge to the worde of the lorde and his promys made to the fathers But as the nature of maÌ„ is alway to loue him selfe to leane to his owne wisdome to put some confidence therin and thus forsake fayth so these messengers sayed vn to the pople we cam vnto the land whether ye sent vs where it flowath withe mylke and hony and thys is the fruete thereof Bute then the people are myghtye theire Cities stronge and greate So that we at not able to matche theÌ„ Yea we sawe gyauntes there also the chyldren or Euocke say they And we femedâ— our syght as the greshoppers and fodyd we in theyr syghte lyke wyse Now here we sauhow thei fal away thorow vubelef for what neded thei haue feared the giaÌ„nts or any other thynge yf they had beleued god as AbraÌ„ their fathers did but thei tok no hed to the word of the lord therfore they brought thys euel report vpoÌ„ the land iÌ„ so much that the people these wordes beganne to crye and howle sayeng Nu. xiiii oh that we had dyed in the land of Egypte or that we myght dye yet in thys wyldernes wherefore bringeth the lord vs into this land that our wyues shuld fal thorow the swerd and our Children be a pray Is yt not better that we go again into Egypte And thus they sayde on to another let vs make a Captayne ouer vs and go agayne Into Egypte Marke here the the vnfayfullnes of the so Messen gers Beholde also the weake 〈◊〉 fayth that was in the people The word of the lord bad moyses send spies into the land which the lord wold geue to the children of Israel as yt was often promysed before But these messengers loked vpon the mighty men great gyauntes and forgat the promyse of god Lykewyse the people herkened to the voice of the messengers and let the voyce of the lord go Oh vnfaythful generacyon Where was Abrahams fayth whych when he was coÌ„maunded to kyll hys onely sonne Gen. xxii iÌ„ whom the lord had promised to blesse al nacyoÌ„s he forsoke reason left hys owne wysdome beleued that that lord wold rais him again froÌ„ death to lyf rather theÌ„ his word shuld not be fulfiled This is wryt ten for oure learnynge that we also maye set hande of the promyeses of god with lyke faith is But where thys fayth let vs nowe talke awhyle of our
