what_o purpose_n moses_n have_v allege_v this_o admonition_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o practice_v it_o and_o beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v in_o general_n that_o the_o change_n which_o happen_v come_v not_o but_o by_o god_n hand_n and_o providence_n when_o we_o see_v a_o mighty_a people_n when_o we_o see_v strong_a and_o well_o man_v city_n when_o we_o see_v all_o other_o mean_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o country_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v conquer_v by_o enemy_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v think_v that_o god_n wrought_v therein_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o behold_v god_n judgement_n in_o all_o the_o alteration_n that_o be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n and_o although_o all_o thing_n be_v on_o a_o broil_n yet_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n hold_v the_o stern_a above_o true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n will_v make_v uproar_n and_o run_v into_o disorder_n and_o when_o they_o keep_v a_o great_a stir_n to_o their_o seem_a god_n be_v shut_v out_o of_o door_n but_o when_o they_o have_v practise_v what_o they_o can_v yet_o shall_v it_o not_o stop_v god_n from_o turn_v all_o thing_n to_o such_o end_n as_o he_o have_v purpose_v in_o his_o mind_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v we_o not_o imagine_v that_o fortune_n bear_v any_o sway_n in_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v reserve_v the_o sovereintie_a to_o himself_o to_o bring_v even_o all_o the_o turmoil_v that_o man_n raise_v up_o to_o such_o end_n as_o he_o have_v ordain_v of_o purpose_n to_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o such_o as_o offend_v he_o to_o pull_v down_o the_o pride_n of_o such_o as_o be_v too_o lofty_a and_o to_o cut_v off_o his_o blessing_n when_o he_o see_v they_o misuse_v that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v and_o even_o these_o manner_n of_o speech_n that_o god_n drive_v out_o the_o giant_n before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o edomite_n and_o before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o moabyte_n do_v yet_o better_o confirm_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v already_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o put_v man_n in_o fear_n 2.4_o exo._n 23.27_o deut._n 2.4_o for_o if_o it_o please_v he_o although_o man_n have_v no_o courage_n at_o all_o but_o be_v fearful_a and_o henharted_a yet_o will_n he_o make_v they_o strong_a and_o stout_a so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o unmoveable_a as_o rock_n when_o other_o come_v to_o encounter_v against_o they_o and_o on_o the_o otherside_n although_o they_o be_v giant_n and_o carry_v the_o countenance_n of_o lion_n yet_o can_v god_n weaken_v they_o in_o one_o moment_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v run_v away_o from_o their_o own_o shadow_n though_o no_o body_n else_o pursue_v they_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o moses_n use_v such_o manner_n of_o speech_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o man_n have_v not_o their_o heart_n in_o their_o own_o hand_n to_o strengthen_v they_o at_o their_o need_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n thereby_o to_o trust_v that_o god_n will_v discomfit_v our_o enemy_n without_o the_o power_n of_o man_n and_o that_o if_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o with_o never_o so_o violent_a rage_n yet_o shall_v they_o be_v beat_v down_o and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o us._n and_o why_o for_o god_n which_o when_o he_o list_v do_v put_v to_o flight_v not_o only_a man_n of_o small_a courage_n but_o also_o even_a giant_n which_o be_v so_o howge_a that_o they_o astonish_v man_n even_o with_o their_o look_n can_v well_o enough_o skill_n how_o to_o put_v they_o back_o with_o all_o their_o boldness_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n that_o he_o may_v vouchsafe_v to_o give_v we_o courage_n at_o need_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v strengthen_v by_o he_o for_o else_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o weak_a as_o water_n though_o no_o man_n press_v much_o upon_o us._n and_o this_o must_v teach_v we_o to_o walk_v the_o more_o wary_o consider_v the_o weakness_n or_o rather_o brittlenesse_n that_o be_v in_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o be_v not_o so_o foolish_a as_o to_o ground_n ourselves_o upon_o our_o own_o strength_n and_o courage_n but_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o hold_v we_o with_o his_o mighty_a hand_n and_o to_o give_v we_o invincible_a constancy_n now_o if_o we_o be_v so_o unable_a to_o encounter_v with_o mortal_a man_n how_o much_o more_o unable_a be_v we_o to_o encounter_v our_o ghostly_a enemy_n be_v we_o

let_v we_o condemn_v hatred_n in_o ourselves_o by_o abstain_v from_o all_o malice_n and_o revengement_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o if_o we_o deal_v with_o such_o uprightness_n then_o will_v god_n dwell_v with_o we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o prosper_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o manslaughter_n which_o be_v not_o commit_v through_o malice_n nor_o

so_o and_o there_o be_v a_o example_n of_o it_o set_v down_o in_o another_o place_n of_o this_o book_n 19.5_o deut._n 19.5_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v crop_v of_o a_o tree_n and_o his_o axe_n fall_v down_o upon_o one_o that_o be_v under_o the_o tree_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o fall_n of_o his_o axe_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o he_o who_o he_o perceive_v not_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o say_v the_o text_n whereas_o we_o say_v it_o be_v by_o chance_n or_o fortune_n because_o we_o can_v conceive_v that_o thing_n happen_v otherwise_o than_o by_o chance_n you_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v god_n do_v that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o govern_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o secret_a

to_o have_v any_o favour_n at_o all_o and_o why_o be_v that_o for_o want_v of_o examination_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a wicked_a man_n be_v still_o maintain_v for_o be_v there_o diligent_a

while_o not_o be_v diffamed_a will_n in_o manner_n never_o be_v keep_v why_o so_o for_o our_o desire_n to_o have_v friendship_n with_o man_n be_v by_o flatter_v they_o when_o we_o see_v they_o

it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o they_o must_v receive_v rebuke_n or_o shame_n for_o it_o we_o must_v rather_o fall_v to_o flat_a perjury_n and_o how_o even_o thus_o man_n speak_v shall_v i_o

that_o be_v do_v by_o our_o hand_n foot_n eye_n &_o ear_n but_o we_o must_v also_o go_v to_o the_o inward_a part_n &_o search_v our_o thought_n our_o wicked_a desire_n and_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o do_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v we_o for_o there_o lie_v the_o right_a examination_n of_o our_o sin_n when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o because_o he_o have_v commit_v no_o murder_n

we_o make_v of_o all_o our_o fault_n and_o not_o only_o condemn_v ourselves_o for_o the_o present_a deed_n do_v but_o also_o proceed_v further_o and_o say_v alas_o if_o i_o have_v arm_v myself_o

whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n of_o death_n upon_o such_o a_o man_n it_o serve_v to_o prove_v the_o thing_n better_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v already_o namely_o

be_v a_o kind_n of_o punishment_n which_o he_o lay_v upon_o us._n you_o see_v then_o how_o he_o punish_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n and_o yet_o do_v wrong_a unto_o none_o let_v we_o mind_n that_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n
of_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o shameful_a that_o we_o may_v be_v ashamed_a even_o to_o name_v they_o and_o what_o then_o have_v not_o god_n a_o regard_n thereunto_o yes_o that_o have_v he_o but_o he_o

we_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o do_v it_o but_o when_o god_n say_v that_o he_o which_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o murderer_n 3.15_o 1._o john_n 3.15_o then_o be_v we_o the_o more_o abash_v
