we_o must_v say_v it_o suffice_v we_o that_o he_o have_v speak_v it_o he_o will_v perform_v it_o when_o therefore_o we_o can_v fetch_v all_o our_o contentment_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o

that_o we_o shall_v faint_a and_o be_v strip_v of_o that_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v in_o our_o hand_n that_o we_o learn_v to_o say_v oh_o lord_n see_v we_o have_v thy_o promise_n we_o shall_v not_o

when_o we_o have_v attain_v to_o thisto_fw-la resolve_n ourselves_o that_o god_o will_v always_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o ready_a too_o succour_v we_o when_o need_n shall_v require_v that_o

will_v lead_v we_o there_o where_o as_o there_o be_v no_o path_n and_o will_v there_o give_v we_o a_o issue_n and_o way_n to_o escape_v where_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o confusion_n if_o we_o have_v not_o i_o say_v attain_a to_o this_o there_o be_v no_o true_a foundation_n but_o if_o we_o have_v once_o obtain_v it_o we_o must_v stay_v thereupon_o and_o hope_v for_o the_o rest_n for_o if_o god_n love_v we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o have_v wherewith_o to_o sucocur_v &_o help_v we_o in_o all_o and_o through_o all_o and_o he_o will_v do_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n

as_o we_o have_v declare_v for_o oftentimes_o we_o shall_v want_v they_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o eager_a to_o pray_v and_o also_o he_o will_v try_v we_o and_o show_v we_o that_o

that_o he_o will_v exclude_v we_o from_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o have_v create_v in_o the_o world_n as_o though_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n yet_o must_v we_o

of_o god_n and_o that_o his_o faith_n be_v not_o well_o resolve_v but_o in_o that_o he_o waver_v &_o vary_v hereby_o he_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o steadfast_o trust_v in_o god_n as_o he_o shall_v but_o now_o we_o see_v isaac_n fault_n we_o must_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o be_v warn_v as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o in_o all_o the_o object_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v to_o make_v we_o

at_o all_o to_o they_o of_o that_o country_n but_o to_o god_n which_o be_v much_o more_o and_o moreover_o he_o be_v not_o whole_o to_o be_v excuse_v see_v he_o conceive_v such_o a_o judgement_n of_o

that_o he_o communicate_v his_o benefit_n &_o spiritual_a gift_n amongst_o we_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o who_o he_o have_v ordain_v to_o this_o purpose_n man_n therefore_o can_v forgive_v we_o

yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v reserve_v this_o to_o himself_o as_o he_o protest_v in_o isaiah_n oh_o jacob_n it_o be_v i_o and_o none_o other_o that_o take_v away_o thine_o iniquity_n now_o albeit_o god_n alone_o have_v this_o power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n and_o too_o purge_v we_o from_o our_o spot_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o do_v this_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n we_o have_v in_o

be_v too_o much_o to_o attribute_v it_o to_o those_o who_o be_v and_o can_v do_v nothing_o to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o communicate_v to_o they_o which_o come_v unto_o they_o to_o receive_v a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n and_o a_o drop_n or_o two_o of_o wine_n and_o in_o deed_n this_o be_v well_o show_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o say_v my_o flesh_n be_v bread_n from_o heaven_n and_o he_o give_v it_o after_o two_o sort_n one_o be_v that_o which_o he_o give_v when_o he_o offer_v up_o himself_o to_o his_o father_n for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o sin_n the_o bread_n which_o i_o will_v give_v unto_o you_o say_v he_o be_v my_o flesh_n which_o i_o will_v give_v for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n loe_o then_o two_o kind_n of_o give_v for_o he_o give_v his_o flesh_n when_o he_o offer_v it_o up_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o our_o fault_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v be_v appease_v towards_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v release_v to_o

he_o by_o faith_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o this_o ought_v not_o too_o be_v attribute_v to_o man_n not_o as_o though_o they_o have_v this_o power_n but_o only_o that_o jesus_n christ_n surcease_v

not_o but_o that_o these_o may_v be_v instrument_n by_o who_o he_o work_v loe_o then_o how_o this_o make_v for_o isaac_n to_o show_v that_o he_o must_v pronounce_v the_o sentence_n of_o that_o blessing_n whereunto_o he_o be_v ordain_v and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v this_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o what_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n to_o all_o believer_n say_v saint_n paul_n &_o there_o he_o speak_v of_o that_o word_n which_o proceed_v from_o our_o mouth_n what_o the_o power_n of_o god_n why_o it_o be_v nothing_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v true_a but_o it_o please_v god_n to_o display_v his_o power_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o man_n and_o will_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v have_v such_o effect_n and_o power_n in_o the_o work_n that_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o key_n to_o open_v unto_o we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o also_o he_o have_v compare_v it_o to_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o isaac_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o any_o common_a blessing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o prayer_n as_o when_o we_o bless_v one_o another_o and_o when_o we_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v show_v mercy_n to_o our_o neighbour_n &_o that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o that_o which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v fit_n for_o they_o and_o thus_o much_o

to_o be_v note_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o hate_v not_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o know_v what_o it_o import_v god._n for_o there_o be_v many_o fantastical_a man_n that_o

with_o those_o inferior_a mean_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o at_o liberty_n loe_o what_o these_o fantastical_a spirit_n say_v now_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o god_n be_v not_o tie_v and_o bind_v to_o man_n when_o he_o use_v their_o service_n for_o he_o do_v it_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n ordinary_o come_v by_o hear_v as_o s._n paul_n say_v so_o that_o we_o can_v not_o have_v faith_n unless_o it_o be_v by_o man_n and_o can_v god_n aswell_o do_v it_o otherwise_o the_o question_n here_o be_v not_o of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o of_o his_o will_n &_o of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v ordain_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o shall_v say_v and_o can_v god_n do_v this_o and_o that_o he_o can_v do_v it_o but_o see_v he_o will_v that_o it_o be_v otherwise_o we_o ought_v to_o rest_v there_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o receive_v this_o doctrine_n which_o be_v daily_o teach_v we_o with_o all_o reverence_n know_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v this_o testimony_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o all_o be_v ratify_v in_o heaven_n as_o if_o god_n himself_o shall_v speak_v for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o esteem_v his_o truth_n according_a to_o man_n who_o be_v brickle_a and_o liar_n and_o amongst_o who_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n but_o he_o will_v have_v his_o truth_n esteem_v for_o itself_o sake_n &_o for_o it_o own_o nature_n and_o
and_o that_o so_o it_o be_v isaac_n add_v a_o little_a after_o that_o his_o son_n shall_v rule_v over_o his_o enemy_n and_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v bow_v their_o knee_n before_o he_o and_o by_o

bring_v the_o whole_a earth_n into_o subjection_n we_o see_v then_o very_o well_o that_o he_o trouble_v not_o himself_o with_o earthly_a thing_n but_o he_o join_v both_o together_o to_o wit_n he_o take_v earthly_a blessing_n as_o pledge_n to_o the_o end_n to_o bring_v his_o son_n further_o off_o and_o in_o the_o meanwhile_o he_o have_v his_o path_n right_o that_o may_v lead_v he_o to_o the_o

for_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v crucify_v so_o as_o it_o seem_v that_o he_o have_v be_v utter_o forsake_v of_o god_n his_o father_n he_o be_v in_o extreme_a distress_n &_o anguish_n thus_o than_o we_o must_v be_v fashion_v to_o he_o after_o another_o fashion_n they_o they_o be_v who_o be_v so_o lead_v by_o figure_n further_o more_o when_o we_o shall_v compare_v jacob_n with_o esau_n we_o shall_v yet_o better_o know_v as_o we_o shall_v find_v afterward_o that_o when_o isaac_n bless_a esau_n that_o the_o blessing_n which_o he_o will_v use_v will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o large_a and_o rich_a then_o that_o which_o he_o use_v here_o towards_o jacob_n his_o son_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o this_o be_v not_o to_o bless_v he_o to_o that_o heavenly_a life_n but_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o my_o friend_n there_o be_v not_o two_o blessing_n see_v that_o be_v take_v from_o i_o it_o must_v stand_v and_o god_n have_v bless_v he_o who_o i_o have_v bless_v forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v appoint_v i_o the_o minister_n thereof_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o it_o even_o so_o stand_v as_o it_o have_v be_v do_v i_o have_v no_o more_o right_a in_o it_o i_o must_v hold_v myself_o content_v to_o have_v bless_v once_o &_o yet_o afterward_o he_o bless_v esau_n notwithstanding_o and_o how_o what_o be_v there_o any_o contradiction_n no_o not_o so_o but_o this_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o other_o heavenly_a blessing_n to_o say_v that_o he_o who_o he_o bless_v shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n &_o that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v come_v of_o his_o race_n this_o be_v no_o long_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o isaac_n as_o he_o confess_v but_o concern_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o which_o may_v satisfy_v the_o creature_n he_o give_v he_o more_o abundant_o than_o he_o do_v to_o jacob_n now_o than_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v that_o isaac_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n of_o the_o fat_a of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o great_a quantity_n of_o corn_n and_o wine_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o his_o son_n shall_v trouble_v himself_o therein_o but_o he_o simple_o set_v these_o figure_n before_o he_o which_o be_v pledge_n as_o i_o have_v say_v to_o draw_v he_o further_o of_o this_o therefore_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o withal_o let_v we_o note_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o isaac_n have_v declare_v the_o voice_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o my_o son_n jacob_n but_o the_o hand_n be_v as_o the_o hand_n of_o esau_n that_o god_n have_v yet_o purchase_v this_o for_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o this_o be_v do_v through_o error_n but_o yet_o beside_o this_o error_n he_o have_v some_o certain_a knowledge_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v in_o such_o sort_n advertise_v he_o of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n to_o show_v that_o the_o blessing_n belong_v to_o jacob_n as_o also_o in_o truth_n it_o must_v be_v reserve_v for_o he_o although_o this_o have_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o be_v to_o say_v albeit_o rebecca_n have_v not_o use_v this_o ill_a deceit_n yet_o god_n know_v full_a well_o how_o too_o hold_n isaac_n mouth_n as_o also_o he_o hold_v the_o mouth_n of_o balaam_n behold_v balaam_n who_o be_v a_o liar_n who_o be_v hire_v &_o come_v also_o to_o curse_v the_o people_n of_o god_n if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o the_o end_n to_o get_v gift_n of_o balach_n but_o nevertheless_o god_n do_v so_o turn_v his_o tongue_n that_o when_o he_o think_v to_o curse_v maugre_o his_o beard_n he_o bless_v they_o but_o isaac_n be_v not_o as_o balaam_n for_o his_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o resist_v god_o nor_o too_o abolish_v his_o election_n but_o he_o be_v blind_v with_o a_o foolish_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v unto_o his_o son_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o our_o lord_n can_v well_o enough_o govern_v his_o tongue_n when_o he_o will_v to_o cause_v he_o to_o bless_v jacob_n but_o now_o when_o he_o imagine_v too_o bless_v his_o son_n esau_n yet_o nevertheless_o do_v god_o draw_v this_o from_o his_o mouth_n the_o voice_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o my_o son_n jacob_n now_o this_o be_v the_o principal_a and_o chief_a of_o the_o blessing_n even_o the_o voice_n for_o isaac_n give_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o but_o he_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o harrault_n to_o publish_v it_o so_o then_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o find_v nothing_o of_o esau_n but_o the_o apparel_n and_o the_o touch_v he_o must_v not_o rest_v himself_o thereupon_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o find_v the_o voice_n in_o jacob_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n will_v even_o now_o already_o allow_v it_o although_o that_o isaac_n know_v not_o what_o he_o do_v nevertheless_o the_o blessing_n must_v be_v turn_v to_o jacob_n thus_o much_o concern_v this_o word_n moreover_o for_o the_o conclusion_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o people_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o jacob_n that_o this_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v any_o earthly_a empire_n or_o dominion_n in_o this_o world_n either_o he_o or_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o rule_v in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v yet_o do_v not_o they_o bring_v into_o subjection_n all_o nation_n in_o the_o time_n of_o solomon_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n exalt_v his_o people_n far_o &_o wide_a but_o this_o be_v in_o a_o figure_n for_o it_o must_v come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o head_n both_o of_o man_n &_o angel_n so_o than_o that_o which_o moses_n here_o rehearse_v of_o the_o sovereign_a dominion_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o can_v not_o agree_v neither_o to_o jacob_n nor_o to_o his_o child_n nor_o to_o all_o their_o posterity_n until_o that_o we_o come_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o brethren_n and_o that_o his_o mother_n son_n shall_v bow_v down_o before_o he_o this_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o jacob_n person_n he_o have_v but_o one_o only_a brother_n who_o bow_v not_o himself_o before_o he_o but_o rather_o make_v he_o afraid_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v after_o but_o we_o see_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o this_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v for_o our_o good_a and_o for_o our_o
salvation_n that_o he_o receive_v all_o power_n from_o god_n his_o father_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v down_o before_o he_o in_o he_o also_o it_o be_v altogether_o that_o we_o be_v a_o priestly_a kingdom_n so_o that_o we_o acknowledge_v he_o as_o our_o king_n and_o our_o head_n to_o worship_v he_o but_o now_o let_v we_o cast_v down_o ourselves_o before_o the_o

before_o he_o and_o for_o to_o make_v we_o to_o ask_v pardon_n of_o he_o &_o also_o for_o to_o hate_v ourselves_o and_o to_o be_v displease_v with_o ourselves_o in_o our_o own_o vice_n and_o pray_v

that_o he_o will_v support_v we_o in_o our_o weakness_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o leave_v not_o to_o accomplish_v the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v unto_o we_o although_o that_o on_o our_o part_n we_o do_v not_o only_o slack_v they_o but_o seem_v also_o utter_o to_o thrust_v they_o from_o we_o that_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v to_o stretch_v out_o unto_o we_o a_o strong_a hand_n until_o that_o we_o become_v unto_o the_o mark_n which_o he_o have_v set_v before_o we_o that_o be_v till_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o that_o glory_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v unto_o we_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o only_o show_v this_o grace_n unto_o we_o but_o unto_o all_o people_n &_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n etc_n etc_n the_o thirteen_o sermon_n of_o jacob_n and_o esau_n genesis_n 27._o 31_o isaac_n say_v accurse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o shall_v curse_v thou_o and_o bless_v be_v he_o that_o shall_v bless_v thou_o 32_o now_o as_o isaac_n have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o blessing_n jacob_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v i_o say_v that_o jacob_n be_v scarce_o go_v forth_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o father_n isaac_n that_o esau_n return_v from_o his_o hunt_n 33_o therefore_o he_o also_o bring_v unto_o his_o father_n delicate_n prepare_v and_o he_o say_v unto_o his_o father_n let_v my_o father_n arise_v and_o eat_v of_o the_o venison_n of_o his_o son_n that_o thy_o soul_n may_v bless_v i_o 34_o now_o isaac_n say_v unto_o he_o who_o be_v thou_o he_o say_v i_o be_o thy_o first_o beget_v son_n esau_n 35_o then_o isaac_n tremble_v with_o a_o wonderful_a fear_n and_o say_v who_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v unto_o i_o venison_n even_o now_o and_o i_o have_v eat_v of_o all_o before_o thou_o come_v and_o who_o have_v i_o bless_v also_o he_o shall_v be_v bless_v 36_o now_o esau_n hear_v the_o word_n of_o his_o father_n cry_v out_o with_o a_o wonderful_a great_a and_o bitter_a cry_n and_o he_o say_v unto_o his_o father_n bless_v i_o my_o father_n bless_v i_o also_o 37_o who_o say_v thy_o brother_n come_v through_o craft_n and_o have_v take_v away_o thy_o blessing_n 38_o and_o he_o say_v how_o right_o be_v his_o name_n call_v jacob_n for_o he_o have_v supplant_v i_o now_o the_o second_o time_n he_o have_v take_v my_o birthright_n and_o lo_o now_o he_o have_v take_v my_o blessing_n also_o etc_n etc_n yesterday_o we_o stay_v at_o this_o word_n concern_v the_o blessing_n which_o isaac_n give_v unto_o his_o son_n jacob_n too_o wit_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v bless_v he_o shall_v be_v bless_v and_o whosoever_o shall_v curse_v he_o shall_v be_v accurse_v but_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o this_o be_v not_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o any_o mortal_a man_n for_o it_o belong_v unto_o god_n to_o punish_v those_o which_o do_v any_o wrong_n to_o his_o child_n and_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v forbid_v we_o to_o seek_v revenge_n it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o enemy_n have_v their_o reward_n now_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o isaac_n pronounce_v here_o the_o sentence_n of_o god_n &_o that_o he_o speak_v not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o be_v authorize_v as_o a_o prophet_n and_o indeed_o we_o have_v see_v that_o this_o be_v pronounce_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n to_o abraham_n in_o the_o 12._o chap._n i_o will_v bless_v all_o those_o which_o shall_v bless_v thou_o &_o i_o will_v curse_v all_o those_o which_o shall_v curse_v thou_o god_n reserve_v this_o unto_o himself_o but_o now_o how_o be_v it_o that_o isaac_n presume_v to_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n unless_o because_o he_o know_v that_o this_o inheritance_n be_v leave_v unto_o he_o &_o so_o he_o resign_v it_o unto_o his_o son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o after_o his_o departure_n he_o may_v be_v the_o possessor_n thereof_o we_o see_v then_o brief_o that_o isaac_n speak_v not_o in_o this_o point_n rash_o although_o that_o he_o have_v many_o foul_a fault_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v ground_v upon_o that_o which_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o and_o he_o know_v that_o this_o office_n be_v commit_v unto_o he_o and_o thus_o he_o doubt_v not_o too_o curse_v all_o those_o which_o shall_v curse_v his_o stock_n of_o all_o ability_n or_o rather_o have_v no_o occasion_n to_o show_v that_o they_o be_v not_o unthankful_a nevertheless_o let_v we_o know_v that_o god_n do_v receive_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n all_o that_o which_o we_o have_v do_v in_o support_v those_o which_o be_v destitute_a &_o have_v need_v when_o we_o have_v this_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v have_v enough_o to_o content_a we_o but_o if_o we_o desire_v that_o god_n bless_v we_o in_o such_o sort_n let_v we_o first_o take_v heed_n as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v that_o we_o be_v the_o true_a child_n of_o jacob_n not_o of_o the_o carnal_a race_n but_o by_o faith_n &_o that_o we_o be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o testimony_n of_o our_o adoption_n imprint_v in_o our_o heart_n &_o as_o it_o be_v seal_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v have_v full_a assurance_n thereof_o and_o that_o in_o this_o trust_n we_o may_v cry_v out_o unto_o god_n now_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v do_v this_o we_o have_v to_o praise_v the_o head_n of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o say_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v be_v god_n bless_v for_o ever_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o human_a nature_n &_o that_o he_o be_v descend_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o abraham_n &_o yet_o he_o say_v nevertheless_o that_o he_o be_v god_n bless_v for_o ever_o now_o we_o have_v to_o bless_v or_o praise_v he_o not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o to_o glorify_v he_o as_o he_o deserve_v and_o moreover_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n we_o say_v as_o that_o prayer_n be_v suggest_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bless_a be_v he_o that_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n o_o lord_n make_v thy_o kingdom_n to_o prosper_v o_o lord_n increase_v the_o kingdom_n of_o david_n so_o then_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o that_o which_o be_v here_o recite_v by_o moses_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n bear_v such_o special_a favour_n &_o singular_a love_n towards_o we_o that_o not_o only_o he_o bless_v we_o but_o if_o any_o do_v we_o good_a or_o evil_a he_o accept_v this_o as_o do_v to_o his_o own_o person_n and_o will_v recompense_v they_o that_o have_v pity_n upon_o we_o and_o shall_v help_v we_o in_o our_o necessity_n and_o again_o he_o will_v revenge_v our_o cause_n &_o although_o we_o be_v patient_a in_o all_o the_o wrong_n and_o outrage_n that_o man_n do_v against_o we_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o will_v keep_v we_o &_o stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n to_o chastise_v all_o those_o who_o shall_v unjust_o oppress_v we_o loe_o then_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o matter_n concern_v that_o word_n that_o be_v leave_v for_o we_o now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jacob_n be_v even_o hardly_o go_v forth_o from_o his_o father_n &_o that_o scarce_o he_o have_v obtain_v that_o he_o go_v about_o but_o lo_o esau_n return_v from_o hunt_v
