of_o a_o solar_a year_n who_o age_n be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v proportion_v he_o be_v translate_v into_o heaven_n after_o this_o manner_n god_n usual_o consummate_v and_o complete_v the_o day_n of_o

in_o vogue_n among_o the_o celebrate_a author_n hereupon_o those_o doctor_n who_o approve_v of_o the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o astrologer_n say_v that_o wherever_o the_o word_n augmentation_n occur_v

here_o the_o talmudist_n say_v this_o be_v evident_a from_o experience_n the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n prolong_v day_n he_o say_v this_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o temple_n which_o last_v

live_v long_o under_o the_o first_o temple_n than_o they_o do_v under_o the_o second_o because_o they_o be_v more_o holy_a furthermore_o our_o doctor_n assert_v that_o there_o be_v 113_o bone_n and_o

upon_o those_o word_n gen._n 39.10_o he_o hearken_v not_o unto_o she_o to_o lie_v by_o she_o or_o to_o be_v with_o she_o he_o will_v not_o lie_v with_o she_o in_o this_o world_n lest_o he_o shall_v suffer_v with_o she_o in_o the_o next_o now_o because_o these_o action_n depend_v upon_o both_o their_o free-will_n therefore_o one_o deserve_v eternal_a praise_n and_o glory_n and_o the_o other_o everlasting_a disgrace_n and_o ruin_n if_o we_o allow_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o reward_n and_o punishment_n we_o must_v necessary_o admit_v of_o freewill_n wherefore_o god_n always_o support_v and_o help_v those_o person_n that_o mind_v their_o duty_n and_o be_v industrious_a but_o disregard_v the_o lazy_a and_o slothful_a sect_n 10._o as_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o prove_v maimonides_n affirm_v that_o if_o man_n sin_n be_v very_o heinous_a and_o notorious_a there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o repentance_n and_o in_o confirmation_n of_o his_o opinion_n he_o use_v to_o allege_v that_o of_o isaiah_n 6.10_o and_o 2_o chron._n 36.16_o so_o that_o according_a to_o he_o god_n harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n for_o his_o sin_n exod._n 14.4_o likewise_o sihon_n and_o og_n king_n of_o basan_n be_v so_o wicked_a that_o their_o repentance_n can_v not_o avert_v their_o punishment_n agreeable_a to_o this_o opinion_n it_o be_v that_o god_n sometime_o take_v away_o freewill_n from_o sinner_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o god_n deprive_v man_n of_o their_o estate_n honour_n life_n and_o liberty_n for_o their_o iniquity_n the_o ancient_n too_o be_v of_o this_o mind_n but_o what_o we_o read_v in_o tanhuma_n be_v worth_a our_o observation_n three_o thing_n say_v the_o author_n god_n have_v put_v into_o our_o power_n viz._n our_o hand_n foot_n and_o mouth_n and_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n viz._n our_o eye_n ear_n and_o nose_n for_o we_o see_v hear_v and_o smell_v many_o thing_n that_o be_v offensive_a to_o we_o god_n oftentimes_o debar_v we_o the_o use_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o our_o power_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n thus_o god_n wither_v the_o hand_n of_o jeroboam_n which_o he_o reach_v out_o to_o seize_v the_o prophet_n and_o make_v balaam_n bless_v the_o israelite_n who_o he_o design_v to_o curse_v therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n very_o often_o obstruct_v man_n action_n and_o can_v abridge_v their_o power_n hence_o abravanel_n confess_v that_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o reward_v or_o punish_v any_o person_n nothing_o can_v prevent_v it_o a_o instance_n of_o this_o he_o say_v we_o have_v in_o the_o infatuation_n of_o achitophel_n because_o god_n be_v resolve_v to_o punish_v absolom_n to_o this_o belong_v the_o word_n of_o jerem._n 10.23_o 2_o sam._n 17.14_o isa_n 14.27_o isaac_n arama_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o repentance_n be_v never_o too_o late_o for_o say_v he_o it_o be_v always_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o he_o affirm_v that_o for_o the_o murder_n of_o our_o neighbour_n repentance_n be_v ineffectual_a and_o therefore_o we_o can_v escape_v punishment_n for_o that_o if_o i_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o declare_v my_o judgement_n in_o this_o case_n i_o do_v firm_o believe_v that_o god_n never_o force_v or_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o our_o freewill_n but_o always_o merciful_o dispose_v the_o mean_n as_o they_o be_v more_o or_o less_o agreeable_a to_o our_o inclination_n like_o the_o primum_fw-la mobile_a which_o carry_v round_o the_o inferior_a orb_n yet_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v a_o distinct_a motion_n i_o shall_v illustrate_v my_o meaning_n by_o this_o example_n god_n design_v that_o the_o israelite_n shall_v continue_v in_o the_o egyptian_a bondage_n so_o many_o year_n and_o that_o joseph_n shall_v be_v advance_v above_o all_o his_o brethren_n now_o god_n compel_v no_o body_n to_o accomplish_v this_o design_n but_o he_o only_o so_o order_v the_o mean_n that_o joseph_n may_v be_v sell_v to_o the_o midianitish_a merchant_n and_o then_o this_o way_n he_o may_v come_v into_o egypt_n in_o like_a manner_n god_n intend_v to_o display_v the_o miraculous_a sign_n of_o his_o power_n among_o the_o egyptian_n but_o how_o by_o harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o use_n of_o his_o freewill_n no_o but_o by_o so_o contrive_v it_o that_o the_o king_n may_v have_v occasion_n by_o the_o free_a use_n or_o rather_o the_o abuse_n of_o his_o will_n of_o harden_v his_o heart_n thus_o when_o he_o see_v his_o own_o magician_n work_v the_o same_o miracle_n which_o moses_n do_v he_o disregard_v they_o he_o perceive_v that_o the_o plague_n can_v be_v easy_o remove_v and_o so_o be_v not_o much_o concern_v at_o they_o but_o obstinate_o refuse_v to_o dismiss_v the_o people_n till_o he_o be_v surprise_v with_o the_o slaughter_n of_o his_o son_n and_o all_o the_o first-born_a of_o his_o subject_n thus_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o god_n harden_v the_o heart_n of_o sihon_n and_o og_n the_o king_n of_o basan_n for_o the_o israelite_n have_v send_v messenger_n to_o the_o edomite_n the_o ammonite_n and_o the_o moabite_n to_o request_v a_o passage_n through_o the_o

will_v not_o they_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o stiff_o oppose_v their_o passage_n but_o unhappy_o for_o they_o be_v present_o conquer_v here_o god_n only_o give_v a_o opportunity_n to_o their_o perverseness_n but_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o force_n their_o will_n that_o he_o may_v punish_v they_o god_n also_o determine_v to_o divide_v solomon_n kingdom_n but_o which_o way_n do_v he_o effect_v it_o not_o by_o compel_v rehoboam_n but_o by_o give_v occasion_n that_o by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o young_a counselor_n by_o who_o he_o be_v direct_v he_o may_v refuse_v to_o lessen_v the_o people_n tax_n and_o so_o abijah_n prophecy_n be_v fulfil_v thus_o i_o think_v all_o the_o place_n where_o god_n seem_v to_o deprive_v man_n of_o his_o freewill_n that_o he_o may_v punish_v he_o may_v be_v explain_v for_o as_o prince_n know_v how_o wise_o and_o prudent_o to_o manage_v their_o affair_n that_o they_o may_v obtain_v their_o design_n so_o do_v god_n who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o
