they_o will_v needs_o have_v god_n to_o avow_v they_o to_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n but_o here_o we_o see_v that_o although_o god_n have_v as_o then_o set_v up_o his_o seat_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o to_o be_v their_o saviour_n unto_o the_o end_n yet_o when_o he_o see_v they_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o have_v he_o but_o that_o they_o draw_v clean_o back_o and_o

soothfast_a notwithstanding_o their_o destruction_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o deceive_v ourselves_o when_o god_n have_v once_o take_v we_o to_o he_o to_o be_v of_o his_o household_n and_o

without_o effect_n and_o hereof_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o this_o place_n for_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o have_v promise_v he_o to_o

we_o look_v upon_o man_n it_o will_v be_v unpossible_a for_o we_o to_o go_v right_a but_o we_o must_v follow_v god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o god_n be_v so_o good_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o give_v we_o man_n to_o accompany_v we_o yea_o and_o to_o go_v before_o we_o and_o to_o reach_v we_o their_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o great_a help_n 13.7_o 1._o cor._n 4.16_o &_o heb._n 13.7_o and_o as_o paul_n

for_o our_o way_n we_o ground_n not_o ourselves_o one_o upon_o another_o to_o say_v thus_o will_v i_o do_v for_o i_o see_v most_o man_n do_v it_o no_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n call_v we_o to_o

when_o the_o people_n have_v reply_v so_o and_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o again_o what_o mean_v you_o thus_o to_o distrust_v your_o god_n he_o have_v give_v we_o this_o land_n we_o have_v his_o

but_o a_o false_a repentance_n go_v to_o say_v they_o since_o it_o be_v so_o we_o will_v go_v and_o march_v against_o our_o enemy_n see_v it_o be_v god_n pleasure_n nay_o you_o see_v here_o that_o

when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n have_v not_o promise_v any_o such_o thing_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v bold_a upon_o our_o own_o head_n but_o harken_v

between_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o moabite_n and_o ammonite_n true_o the_o original_n of_o these_o two_o people_n be_v of_o incest_n so_o as_o they_o can_v not_o boast_v of_o their_o

give_v we_o such_o power_n to_o resist_v he_o as_o we_o may_v have_v victory_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n of_o mosese_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

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

thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v that_o moses_n protest_v that_o he_o come_v not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n nor_o set_v up_o

that_o the_o people_n may_v have_v say_v so_o as_o well_o as_o moses_n according_a also_o as_o moses_n add_v oftentimes_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n but_o here_o he_o appropriate_v the_o title_n of_o

they_o may_v say_v the_o prince_n my_o master_n and_o why_o for_o they_o be_v his_o officer_n or_o his_o household_n servant_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n deal_v the_o prophet_n â—â—_o esa._n â—â—_o

will_v have_v we_o always_o rule_v by_o his_o word_n now_o moses_n add_v immediate_o that_o he_o have_v set_v forth_o the_o statute_n and_o ordinance_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v

may_v well_o seem_v that_o where_o open_a war_n be_v there_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o havoc_n but_o our_o lord_n mean_v to_o show_v that_o all_o his_o servant_n must_v always_o bridle_v

in_o time_n of_o war_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v contain_v here_o a_o man_n shall_v find_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o heathen_a that_o they_o also_o commend_v this_o uprightness_n that_o although_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n of_o war_n yet_o the_o shed_v man_n blood_n be_v to_o be_v forbear_v but_o this_o rule_n be_v not_o well_o keep_v and_o howesoever_o the_o case_n stand_v our_o lord_n have_v here_o separate_v his_o people_n from_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n show_v that_o they_o which_o be_v lead_v by_o his_o word_n must_v look_v more_o straite_o and_o
