unto_o god_n but_o will_v needs_o be_v wise_a in_o their_o own_o conceit_n and_o still_o follow_v their_o own_o invention_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o maxim_n can_v be_v raze_v out_o by_o man_n namely_o that_o we_o have_v neither_o wisdom_n nor_o discretion_n except_o we_o have_v profit_v in_o god_n school_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v warn_v hereby_o to_o hold_v ourselves_o simple_o to_o

we_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o stray_v nevertheless_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o question_n here_o how_o moses_n can_v say_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n shall_v be_v count_v sage_a and_o wise_a among_o all_o nation_n see_v we_o know_v that_o the_o heathen_a do_v glory_n in_o their_o own_o folly_n and_o superstition_n 1.22_o rom._n 1.22_o even_o in_o despite_n of_o the_o law_n see_v the_o infidel_n be_v so_o proud_a that_o they_o reject_v the_o good_a learning_n of_o the_o law_n and_o rest_v upon_o their_o own_o fond_a toy_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o this_o be_v not_o accomplish_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o moses_n speak_v of_o it_o here_o but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o speech_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o nation_n which_o shall_v hear_v the_o law_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n have_v give_v they_o shall_v say_v behold_v here_o a_o excellent_a and_o noble_a people_n now_o as_o for_o those_o that_o hold_v

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 vouchsafe_v to_o consider_v that_o for_o all_o of_o they_o lie_v welter_v still_o in_o their_o own_o dung_n and_o although_o it_o be_v apparent_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n have_v a_o several_a law_n and_o religion_n by_o themselves_o yet_o do_v all_o man_n shut_v their_o eye_n and_o stop_v their_o ear_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o make_v no_o reckon_v of_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n now_o herewithal_o moses_n show_v in_o two_o thing_n how_o great_o the_o people_n ought_v to_o have_v esteem_v of_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o they_o for_o let_v

as_o soon_o as_o we_o pray_v unto_o our_o god_n and_o resort_v unto_o he_o we_o feel_v he_o near_o we_o by_o and_o by_o you_o see_v then_o a_o inestimable_a benefit_n again_o we_o have_v his_o law_n

to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enjoy_v it_o for_o all_o this_o be_v treat_v of_o by_o moses_n to_o the_o intent_n it_o shall_v be_v apply_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o learn_v to_o serve_v our_o god_n with_o

also_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o small_a number_n leave_v of_o they_o but_o we_o know_v that_o among_o other_o thing_n god_n have_v promise_v abraham_n to_o multiply_v his_o

if_o we_o find_v any_o slothfulness_n in_o we_o if_o we_o be_v fall_v too_o fast_o a_o sleep_n in_o this_o world_n then_o to_o waken_v we_o up_o and_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o magnify_v god_n let_v we_o

with_o we_o even_o with_o we_o that_o be_v all_o alive_a at_o this_o day_n this_o sentence_n may_v have_v a_o double_a understanding_n for_o it_o may_v be_v take_v as_o though_o moses_n make_v a_o

god_n speak_v there_o to_o moses_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o manifest_v himself_o so_o plain_o to_o be_v god_n unto_o abraham_n isaak_n and_o jacob_n as_o he_o do_v command_v to_o be_v do_v

so_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n may_v be_v that_o god_n make_v not_o the_o like_a covenant_n with_o our_o father_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n speak_v to_o his_o servant_n abraham_n isaak_n

then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n commandment_n be_v hard_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o press_v we_o so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v nothing_o near_o for_o if_o god_n list_v to_o use_v his_o right_n with_o extremity_n we_o shall_v be_v torment_v out_o of_o all_o measure_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o bear_v

which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n speak_v after_o a_o rude_a and_o gross_a fashion_n to_o apply_v himself_o both_o to_o great_a and_o small_a and_o even_o to_o the_o very_a ydiot_n for_o we_o see_v how_o every_o man_n excuse_v himself_o by_o ignorance_n and_o if_o a_o thing_n be_v somewhat_o dark_a and_o hard_a we_o think_v we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o

in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n say_v in_o another_o place_n 3.15_o 2._o tim._n 3.15_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o

be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o understand_v more_o at_o large_a the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o one_o word_n namely_o that_o the_o law_n fray_v we_o far_o more_o in_o comparison_n than_o

therefore_o if_o we_o fear_v god_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o show_v it_o by_o our_o deed_n and_o by_o proof_n even_o by_o frame_v our_o life_n according_a to_o his_o will_n now_o hereupon_o we_o may_v

contrariwise_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o keep_v all_o his_o commandment_n and_o statute_n so_o then_o when_o man_n turn_v from_o that_o way_n and_o follow_v

1._o sam._n 15.22.23_o insomuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n harken_v not_o unto_o god_n voice_n to_o submit_v himself_o thereto_o but_o contrariwise_o follow_v the_o invention_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n or_o the_o thing_n that_o other_o man_n have_v devise_v sure_o it_o be_v a_o ydolatry_n and_o as_o bad_a as_o witchcraft_n which_o god_n abhor_v after_o that_o manner_n do_v god_n spirit_n speak_v of_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o mortal_a man_n do_v deem_v the_o clean_a contrary_n now_o than_o we_o see_v how_o moses_n declare_v here_o that_o if_o we_o fear_v god_n in_o good_a earnest_n we_o will_v also_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o will_n so_o as_o we_o will_v not_o take_v leave_n at_o man_n hand_n to_o do_v what_o they_o think_v good_a but_o stop_v all_o man_n

in_o this_o behalf_n that_o they_o give_v such_o example_n to_o their_o child_n as_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v conspire_v to_o abolish_v all_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o all_o keep_n of_o his_o

but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o this_o must_v not_o be_v speak_v to_o we_o in_o vain_a therefore_o let_v we_o endeavour_n to_o teach_v such_o as_o shall_v succeed_v we_o so_o as_o god_n may_v ever_o

word_n love_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o this_o text_n notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o fellow_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o honour_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o as_o our_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o will_v observe_v god_n law_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o must_v not_o consider_v he_o all_o only_a in_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o master_n thereby_o to_o yield_v he_o reverence_v but_o we_o must_v also_o set_v before_o we_o the_o title_n of_o father_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v to_o win_v we_o to_o he_o by_o gentleness_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v tie_v unto_o he_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o he_o by_o his_o prophet_n if_o i_o be_v your_o master_n 1.6_o mal._n 1.6_o where_o be_v my_o fear_n and_o if_o i_o be_v your_o father_n where_o be_v my_o love_n in_o deed_n he_o set_v down_o honour_n in_o that_o place_n to_o betoken_v that_o a_o servant_n ought_v to_o fear_v his_o master_n but_o yet_o immediate_o after_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n love_v also_o of_o purpose_n to_o show_v what_o honour_n the_o child_n yield_v to_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o first_o point_n of_o serve_v god_n aright_o be_v to_o be_v lead_v unto_o he_o yea_o and_o to_o be_v lead_v thither_o upon_o

that_o mean_a we_o may_v no_o more_o be_v give_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o say_v that_o we_o must_v first_o know_v god_n grace_n and_o goodness_n before_o we_o can_v serve_v he_o for_o as_o for_o such_o as_o serve_v god_n for_o fear_n of_o be_v damn_v not_o know_v that_o he_o will_v be_v their_o saviour_n what_o do_v they_o they_o seem_v to_o enforce_v themselves_o great_o forward_o but_o in_o deed_n they_o draw_v clean_o back_o though_o they_o break_v both_o their_o arm_n and_o their_o leg_n yet_o be_v they_o never_o the_o forewarder_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v it_o say_v in_o the_o hundred_o and_o thirtith_n psalm_n 130.7_o psal._n 130.7_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v merciful_a and_o man_n have_v find_v he_o gentle_a and_o gracious_a therefore_o be_v he_o fear_v and_o dread_a in_o deed_n the_o world_n think_v to_o serve_v god_n well_o enough_o without_o know_v he_o and_o we_o see_v that_o the_o papist_n do_v this_o and_o that_o upon_o such_o opinion_n but_o what_o for_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o have_v no_o trust_n in_o god_n they_o never_o know_v his_o

that_o ever_o they_o do_v be_v not_o worth_a a_o pin_n insomuch_o that_o god_n reiecte_n even_o their_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n for_o we_o must_v be_v lead_v by_o love_n and_o by_o a_o frank_a and_o free_a goodwill_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o how_o may_v that_o be_v do_v even_o by_o know_v god_n to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n as_o i_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o text_n of_o malachi_n 131.24_o psal._n 130.7_o &_o 131.24_o and_o as_o be_v yet_o better_o express_v in_o this_o verse_n of_o the_o psalm_n that_o we_o must_v first_o know_v god_n mercy_n and_o rest_v thereupon_o or_o else_o we_o can_v never_o fear_v he_o and_o come_v near_o he_o to_o serve_v he_o that_o be_v the_o true_a &_o plain_a meaning_n of_o this_o text_n and_o so_o must_v we_o apply_v it_o moses_n have_v speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n add_v now_o that_o the_o law_n must_v be_v so_o dear_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o take_v it_o for_o our_o chief_a treasure_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v too_o much_o

must_v have_v god_n law_n continual_o in_o their_o sight_n and_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o headroll_n thereof_o as_o if_o a_o woman_n be_v attire_v after_o the_o ancient_a manner_n with_o border_n

here_o we_o see_v well_o how_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v with_o guard_n of_o garment_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o have_v his_o law_n print_v in_o his_o people_n

of_o all_o the_o mercy_n which_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o have_v use_v towards_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o we_o shall_v have_v offend_v twenty_o or_o thirty_o time_n yet_o do_v god_n

any_o thing_n shall_v be_v want_v unto_o we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o he_o to_o be_v teach_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n also_o say_v 6.2_o that_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o

may_v demand_v how_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a for_o man_n to_o give_v themselves_o to_o serve_v god_n with_o all_o their_o heart_n for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o remain_v enclose_v in_o this_o flesh_n of_o we_o there_o will_v be_v always_o many_o infirmity_n and_o vice_n in_o we_o which_o will_v hold_v we_o back_o and_o hinder_v us._n and_o very_o we_o hear_v how_o saint_n paul_n say_v 7.15_o rom._n 7.15_o i_o can_v not_o do_v the_o good_a which_o i_o will_v but_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v whole_o give_v unto_o god_n the_o performance_n of_o thing_n will_v follow_v out_o of_o hand_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o let_v and_o hinder_v we_o obey_v god_n but_o in_o part_n but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v this_o let_v not_o but_o that_o we_o may_v serve_v god_n in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n for_o he_o impute_v not_o unto_o we_o those_o infirmity_n which_o hinder_v we_o when_o there_o be_v no_o faynednesse_n in_o we_o but_o that_o our_o chief_a desire_n

therefore_o when_o we_o have_v this_o desire_n in_o we_o although_o we_o be_v hold_v back_o and_o hinder_v with_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o flesh_n yet_o god_n impute_v not_o that_o evil_a unto_o us._n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n out_o of_o this_o place_n but_o a_o man_n may_v yet_o far_o demand_n whether_o god_n charge_v a_o man_n with_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o his_o power_n and_o ability_n for_o it_o seem_v a_o inconvenient_a thing_n that_o god_n shall_v require_v thing_n unpossible_a to_o be_v do_v but_o this_o demand_n be_v easy_o answer_v for_o
when_o god_n publish_v and_o set_v forth_o his_o law_n he_o respect_v not_o what_o we_o can_v do_v or_o what_o our_o power_n or_o ability_n be_v but_o what_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o therefore_o when_o he_o say_v you_o shall_v serve_v i_o by_o keep_v my_o statute_n with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o your_o soul_n he_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o our_o ability_n he_o know_v full_a well_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o compass_v it_o we_o be_v far_o wide_o from_o it_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o and_o there_o be_v good_a

so_o then_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o god_n must_v not_o be_v bar_v of_o his_o right_n and_o therefore_o although_o man_n can_v not_o whole_o discharge_v themselves_o yet_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o say_v you_o owe_v i_o this_o and_o therefore_o do_v it_o now_o whereas_o the_o law_n be_v in_o such_o sort_n give_v unto_o we_o we_o be_v so_o far_o unable_a to_o perform_v it_o that_o we_o know_v

we_o let_v we_o know_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n want_v in_o our_o duty_n yet_o shall_v it_o not_o come_v into_o account_n but_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o the_o service_n which_o we_o yield_v unto_o he_o so_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o free_a and_o sincere_a mind_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o place_n be_v that_o god_n will_v be_v serve_v not_o by_o piece_n meal_n nor_o by_o force_n or_o constraint_n but_o of_o a_o pure_a and_o free-hearted_a devotion_n and_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o can_v discharge_v ourselves_o of_o all_o that_o which_o we_o owe_v he_o and_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n we_o can_v not_o any_o way_n begin_v but_o whereas_o he_o have_v publish_v his_o law_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n and_o have_v cause_v it_o to_o be_v set_v down_o in_o write_v he_o must_v also_o write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o he_o

against_o he_o and_o we_o never_o come_v to_o the_o perfect_a and_o substantial_a serve_v of_o he_o which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o we_o must_v therefore_o always_o bewail_v ourselves_o crave_v

of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o final_a end_n of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o know_v not_o what_o god_n it_o be_v nor_o what_o his_o will_n be_v well_o may_v we_o toil_v ourselves_o all_o our_o life_n long_o and_o yet_o shall_v all_o of_o it_o be_v but_o confusion_n it_o be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v run_v gad_v over_o the_o field_n he_o may_v well_o break_v his_o shin_n and_o tire_v his_o whole_a

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
