the_o judge_a be_v we_o but_o we_o have_v already_o show_v that_o by_o usurp_v the_o priesthood_n they_o be_v thief_n and_o treacherous_a traitor_n and_o that_o they_o lift_v themselves_o up_o against_o the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v that_o for_o one_o note_n but_o let_v we_o proceed_v far_o a_o man_n can_v judge_v say_v they_o without_o he_o know_v the_o cause_n and_o the_o cause_n can_v be_v know_v without_o there_o be_v a_o confession_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o confess_v his_o sin_n once_o a_o year_n for_o all_o be_v

but_o he_o must_v not_o judge_v by_o conjecture_n &_o upon_o uncertainty_n as_o they_o do_v for_o i_o pray_v you_o judge_v they_o upon_o knowledge_n when_o they_o can_v skill_v to_o discern_v whether_o they_o which_o confess_v themselves_o in_o their_o ear_n dissemble_v with_o they_o or_o speak_v the_o truth_n behold_v a_o man_n come_v to_o confession_n and_o who_o know_v what_o his_o

the_o end_n or_o quality_n thereof_o and_o though_o they_o can_v yet_o be_v not_o that_o enough_o man_n know_v what_o manner_n of_o judge_n &_o how_o competent_a they_o be_v and_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o say_v well_o that_o in_o confession_n there_o must_v be_v some_o degree_n of_o knowledge_n but_o a_o little_a after_o they_o say_v that_o it_o skill_v not_o great_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o

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

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

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

by_o and_o by_o we_o shall_v be_v altogether_o dazzle_a and_o confound_v again_o we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o can_v behold_v god_n face_n to_o face_n until_o we_o be_v renew_v which_o shall_v not_o be_v till_o the_o last_o day_n â—_o 1_o cor._n 13._o â—_o for_o as_o now_o say_v saint_n paul_n we_o see_v but_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n and_o in_o part_n and_o dark_o moreover_o he_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

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

as_o our_o work_n may_v please_v he_o although_o they_o deserve_v it_o not_o for_o that_o be_v verify_v even_o in_o these_o base_a thing_n beneath_o when_o we_o take_v our_o repast_n of_o the_o

do_v we_o good_a why_o use_v he_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o we_o read_v here_o in_o moses_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n the_o one_o be_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v we_o feel_v his_o

therefore_o that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o bury_v all_o our_o sin_n &_o to_o accept_v we_o of_o his_o own_o freegoodnesse_n this_o will_v be_v somewhat_o with_o y_fw-fr e_o dark_a if_o it_o

to_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o as_o he_o think_v good_a final_o he_o show_v how_o great_o it_o be_v for_o our_o benefit_n to_o be_v beat_v with_o his_o rod_n and_o therefore_o do_v he_o make_v we_o to_o

we_o may_v hap_v to_o do_v well_o enough_o with_o they_o for_o they_o be_v man_n but_o we_o be_v daily_o assault_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o by_o sin_n 5.8_o 1._o pet._n 5.8_o and_o we_o will_v fain_o

although_o god_n have_v assure_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o all_o our_o enemy_n yet_o shall_v not_o y_o it_o be_v perform_v at_o y_z e_z first_o brunt_n and_o why_o because_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o wild_a beast_n will_v not_o come_v and_o devour_v we_o but_o we_o have_v pride_n and_o vainglory_n and_o we_o be_v sot_v with_o

than_o all_o the_o wild_a beast_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n leisurely_o work_v as_o it_o be_v by_o degree_n and_o by_o line_n and_o by_o level_a be_v to_o our_o benefit_n for_o can_v he_o be_v let_v to_o accomplish_v all_o his_o work_n in_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n no_o but_o he_o list_v not_o to_o do_v it_o so_o soon_o and_o therefore_o

our_o service_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o humility_n and_o not_o to_o turn_v our_o tail_n to_o our_o neighbour_n &_o if_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o endue_v any_o other_o with_o great_a grace_n than_o ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o spite_v they_o for_o it_o as_o we_o be_v warn_v of_o it_o we_o see_v that_o god_n distribute_v his_o gift_n more_o unto_o one_o than_o unto_o

to_o have_v a_o will_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o our_o neighbour_n and_o so_o we_o see_v what_o moses_n mean_v to_o express_v here_o in_o say_v god_n will_v choose_v he_o out_o some_o one_o

rude_a and_o earthly_a he_o stoop_v unto_o we_o and_o pleasure_v we_o so_o far_o as_o to_o give_v we_o thing_n fit_a for_o us._n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o in_o pray_v do_v use_v these_o

but_o for_o our_o own_o weakness_n sake_n because_o we_o be_v over_o gross_a we_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v exercise_v after_o that_o fashion_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o have_v baptism_n and_o

the_o lord_n will_v choose_v he_o a_o place_n to_o set_v his_o sanctuary_n in_o there_o will_v he_o have_v you_o to_o worship_v he_o there_o will_v he_o have_v you_o to_o offer_v your_o sacrifice_n

that_o he_o fit_v between_o cherubin_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o you_o that_o his_o name_n be_v there_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o give_v you_o

as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n if_o we_o then_o dally_v with_o he_o and_o shroud_v ourselves_o by_o shift_n and_o suttlety_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o see_v we_o be_v not_o

and_o therefore_o see_v we_o be_v of_o malicious_a and_o froward_a nature_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o suspect_v ourselves_o and_o to_o yield_v to_o god_n good_a will_n that_o when_o he_o have_v give_v

the_o keep_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o that_o we_o must_v special_o observe_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n will_v we_o

no_o fault_n with_o we_o but_o that_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v to_o live_v sound_o &_o round_o according_o as_o we_o see_v here_o that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o in_o the_o seven_o year_n

it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n will_v not_o utter_o transgress_v this_o order_n but_o yet_o they_o think_v it_o enough_o for_o they_o to_o discharge_v themselves_o of_o the_o ceremony_n and_o they_o

be_v never_o the_o more_o relieve_v and_o all_o under_o colour_n that_o man_n can_v not_o recover_v that_o which_o they_o have_v lend_v we_o see_v then_o how_o man_n will_v always_o appease_v god_n

we_o deal_v faithful_o with_o our_o neighbour_n if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o accept_v the_o service_n which_o we_o yield_v unto_o he_o and_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v

of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n as_o though_o god_n have_v lay_v the_o bridle_n on_o their_o neck_n and_o have_v no_o more_o care_n of_o the_o gentyle_n than_o of_o

if_o a_o man_n rifle_v his_o neighbour_n coffer_n he_o shall_v be_v punish_v &_o that_o not_o as_o a_o single_a thief_n but_o as_o a_o robber_n but_o the_o whorehunter_n come_v to_o defile_v y_z e_o

therefore_o when_o these_o thing_n be_v put_v together_o namely_o that_o god_n make_v we_o to_o walk_v according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v

that_o this_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o live_a god_n add_v now_o further_o that_o he_o be_v great_a strong_a and_o terrible_a for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n take_v leave_v to_o despise_v god_n
