we_o be_v the_o most_o wretched_a &_o miserable_a of_o all_o creature_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a point_n to_o be_v note_v for_o you_o shall_v see_v man_n so_o blind_a or_o at_o

hereunto_o moses_n add_v that_o he_o himself_o have_v be_v as_o a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n because_o the_o people_n be_v afraid_a and_o dare_v not_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n

to_o he_o if_o we_o consider_v but_o what_o we_o ourselves_o be_v sure_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o dismay_v as_o for_o example_n when_o god_n promise_v issue_n unto_o abraham_n he_o be_v a_o man_n

and_o have_v all_o praise_n give_v unto_o he_o furthermore_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o that_o we_o know_v not_o why_o god_n have_v prefer_v we_o before_o other_o for_o it_o be_v only_o he_o that_o

to_o do_v even_o from_o the_o beginning_n so_o as_o he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o give_v we_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o he_o have_v also_o warrant_v it_o with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n wherefore_o if_o in_o these_o day_n there_o rise_v any_o doubt_n concern_v our_o salvation_n yea_o or_o but_o even_o concern_v this_o transitory_a life_n if_o we_o doubt_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o promise_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o they_o be_v warrant_v to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o cast_v any_o

yea_o and_o even_o of_o perjury_n and_o what_o a_o devilish_a blasphemy_n be_v that_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o stick_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v so_o well_o warrant_v unto_o we_o unless_o we_o will_v be_v blame_v for_o blaspheme_a god_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v moreover_o that_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o make_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a mortal_a man_n and_o confirm_v the_o same_o to_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n who_o be_v but_o weak_a creature_n though_o they_o have_v receive_v never_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o grace_n â—â—_o hebr._n â—â—_o we_o may_v much_o better_a trust_n that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o in_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o we_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o

to_o abase_v themselves_o utter_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n find_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o they_o why_o he_o shall_v choose_v they_o but_o that_o all_o come_v of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n now_o if_o moses_n be_v fain_o to_o use_v such_o exhortation_n to_o the_o jew_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o also_o have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o it_o nowadays_o as_o they_o the_o end_n therefore_o which_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o be_v this_o that_o we_o must_v cast_v down_o ourselves_o and_o not_o be_v lift_v up_o with_o any_o presumption_n nor_o vaunt_v ourselves_o through_o any_o
