in_o all_o our_o worldly_a affair_n we_o ought_v to_o do_v god_n so_o much_o honour_n as_o not_o to_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o we_o nor_o to_o range_v here_o and_o there_o without_o have_v first_o ask_v counsel_n at_o his_o mouth_n as_o he_o say_v by_o his_o prophet_n esay_n 30.2_o 〈◊〉_d 30.2_o and_o until_o he_o have_v order_v all_o our_o devise_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o we_o have_v any_o business_n to_o do_v although_o it_o be_v not_o of_o any_o great_a importance_n yet_o ought_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n with_o all_o lowelinesse_n and_o not_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n till_o our_o conscience_n be_v thorough_o settle_v and_o resolve_v that_o he_o allow_v our_o do_n now_o if_o god_n look_v to_o be_v obey_v in_o small_a thing_n &_o which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o nothing_o what_o will_v he_o do_v when_o the_o matter_n concern_v his_o service_n and_o when_o y_z e_z case_n concern_v so_o excellent_a a_o thing_n as_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n therefore_o

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

and_o flourish_v and_o reign_v even_o after_o we_o be_v dead_a the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o quicken_v up_o the_o jew_n to_o serve_v god_n with_o the_o better_a courage_n by_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o deliverance_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v for_o they_o for_o needs_o must_v they_o have_v be_v too_o unthankful_a if_o that_o have_v not_o provoke_v they_o to_o

as_o to_o they_o for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n call_v we_o with_o the_o same_o condition_n not_o only_o that_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v serve_v and_o honour_v he_o to_o our_o life_n end_n but_o

but_o yet_o be_v we_o bind_v unto_o it_o and_o there_o will_v be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o our_o endeavour_n therefore_o let_v every_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o himself_o and_o

a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o moses_n intend_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o obey_v he_o because_o they_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o his_o mighty_a hand_n therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v bethink_v yourselves_o well_o of_o the_o good_a which_o your_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v

but_o all_o manner_n of_o pomp_n and_o glory_n to_o the_o worldward_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o your_o god_n have_v love_v you_o so_o dear_o that_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v the_o egyptian_n for_o your_o sake_n but_o he_o have_v smite_v they_o with_o plague_n and_o pour_v out_o such_o vengeance_n upon_o they_o as_o be_v horrible_a to_o think_v of_o he_o have_v stretch_v out_o his_o strong_a

prevent_v you_o of_o purpose_n to_o be_v your_o father_n be_v it_o not_o reason_n that_o you_o shall_v give_v yourselves_o to_o he_o all_o your_o life_n long_o and_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o at_o leastwise_o show_v that_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o so_o great_a and_o inestimable_a benefit_n yes_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v negligent_a in_o keep_v god_n law_n moses_n renew_v the_o rememberaunce_n thereof_o and_o set_v their_o deliverance_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a mind_a and_o consider_v that_o they_o

vouchsafe_v to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o the_o redemption_n which_o he_o wrought_v in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v

that_o the_o jew_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o egypt_n he_o mean_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o shoule_fw-mi they_o out_o from_o all_o other_o nation_n special_o by_o assign_v

and_o have_v hold_v themselves_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n because_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v intermingle_v with_o y_z e_z infidel_n but_o make_v a_o several_a nation_n of_o they_o

help_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n it_o be_v say_v if_o thy_o son_n ask_v thou_o what_o mean_v these_o statute_n he_o presuppose_v that_o the_o child_n be_v not_o so_o brutish_a as_o at_o leastwise_o not_o to_o be_v willing_a &_o desirous_a to_o know_v why_o they_o use_v such_o manner_n of_o serve_v god_n and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v help_v their_o child_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o father_n ought_v not_o to_o â—ary_a for_o that_o but_o if_o they_o see_v their_o child_n to_o be_v despiser_n of_o god_n

which_o we_o treat_v of_o as_o now_o be_v that_o if_o child_n be_v willing_a to_o learn_v and_o to_o profit_v god_n here_o assign_v they_o their_o father_n to_o be_v their_o teacher_n and_o

to_o be_v disappoint_v but_o will_v find_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v whatsoever_o he_o think_v profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o appoint_v not_o mortal_a creature_n to_o teach_v we_o yet_o will_v he_o work_v in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o own_o power_n as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v destitute_a of_o knowledge_n but_o our_o own_o slothfulness_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n shut_v the_o gate_n against_o we_o and_o that_o we_o abide_v still_o in_o darkness_n like_o blind_a wretch_n for_o what_o be_v he_o that_o vouchsafe_v to_o seek_v after_o the_o

yet_o we_o rather_o tend_v still_o to_o some_o corruption_n than_o hold_v ourselves_o in_o the_o pureness_n of_o god_n service_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o see_v that_o ydolatrie_n be_v so_o

take_v more_o care_n for_o their_o dog_n and_o horse_n than_o for_o their_o child_n according_o as_o we_o see_v how_o great_a lord_n set_v more_o store_n by_o their_o hawk_n and_o hound_n than_o by_o their_o child_n do_v not_o such_o blind_a wretch_n bewray_v their_o beastliness_n that_o man_n may_v abhor_v they_o as_o folk_n too_o too_o far_o void_a of_o all_o wit_n and_o reason_n yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o if_o man_n or_o woman_n have_v child_n they_o must_v look_v to_o the_o bring_v uppe_o of_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o chief_o it_o be_v

not_o obey_v his_o mother_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o past_a grace_n &_o be_v condemn_v to_o death_n and_o therefore_o both_o of_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v their_o endeavour_n to_o the_o utter_a

it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o father_n and_o mother_n not_o to_o give_v their_o child_n leave_v to_o do_v evil_a or_o not_o to_o train_v they_o thereunto_o but_o they_o must_v also_o nurture_n they_o and_o instruct_v they_o in_o goodness_n as_o nature_n itself_o show_v if_o a_o father_n say_v as_o for_o i_o i_o uphold_v not_o my_o son_n in_o this_o evil_a i_o mislike_v of_o it_o but_o i_o can_v not_o do_v withal_o it_o be_v a_o very_a simple_a excuse_n and_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o be_v admit_v or_o to_o be_v take_v in_o account_n for_o it_o may_v be_v say_v unto_o he_o thou_o be_v a_o

of_o their_o child_n than_o to_o receive_v some_o service_n at_o their_o hand_n in_o
deed_n they_o can_v well_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o their_o child_n be_v teach_v what_o to_o do_v to_o think_v upon_o their_o household_n business_n and_o deal_n or_o to_o occupy_v some_o

there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n that_o those_o thing_n will_v bring_v grist_n to_o the_o mill_n and_o therefore_o a_o father_n can_v find_v in_o his_o hart_n to_o wink_v at_o y_z e_z vice_n of_o his_o

will_v always_o be_v crave_v the_o child_n therefore_o become_v a_o robber_n of_o his_o father_n and_o yet_o the_o father_n be_v content_v to_o maintain_v he_o and_o will_v be_v angry_a that_o any_o

and_o likewise_o also_o in_o this_o behalf_n now_o when_o such_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v see_v ought_v we_o not_o to_o behold_v god_n vengeance_n also_o thou_o be_v a_o pinchpenny_n thou_o be_v so_o
