for_o our_o way_n we_o ground_n not_o ourselves_o one_o upon_o another_o to_o say_v thus_o will_v i_o do_v for_o i_o see_v most_o man_n do_v it_o no_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n call_v we_o to_o

with_o you_o neither_o will_v i_o help_v you_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o people_n have_v once_o be_v bring_v jowe_o they_o perceive_v and_o acknowledge_v a_o wonderful_a goodness_n in_o god_n and_o therewith_o all_o become_v y_z e_z better_o dispose_v to_o profit_v themselves_o by_o the_o correction_n that_o be_v send_v they_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o therefore_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n

though_o it_o be_v with_o such_o roughness_n as_o it_o amass_v we_o yet_o be_v it_o to_o our_o benefit_n &_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o bear_v his_o yoke_n moreover_o let_v this_o be_v our_o

be_v it_o now_o with_o we_o for_o we_o have_v enemy_n which_o be_v much_o strong_a and_o stout_a in_o comparison_n of_o we_o than_o have_v the_o israeltes_n when_o they_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o

we_o here_o in_o moses_n and_o we_o see_v that_o all_o the_o prophet_n have_v use_v the_o like_a manner_n of_o deal_n it_o may_v well_o seem_v that_o they_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o spare_v the_o people_n for_o they_o threaten_v god_n wrath_n they_o curse_v they_o condemn_v and_o to_o be_v short_a they_o seem_v to_o bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o thunder_n clap_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v they_o be_v lead_v with_o such_o pity_n and_o carefulness_n that_o they_o beseech_v god_n to_o show_v favour_n to_o such_o as_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o who_o will_v give_v tear_n unto_o my_o eye_n 9.1_o jer._n 9.1_o say_v the_o prophet_n jeremie_n i_o can_v well_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o melt_v into_o water_n to_o bewail_v the_o sin_n of_o my_o

though_o he_o have_v forget_v all_o natural_a affection_n so_o then_o we_o see_v you_o to_o these_o two_o thing_n agree_v very_o well_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o those_o who_o god_n choose_v to_o set_v forth_o his_o word_n may_v well_o regard_v the_o welfare_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o wretched_a sinner_n that_o be_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n and_o be_v even_o sorry_a and_o exceed_o

and_o as_o they_o needs_o must_v for_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n furthermore_o as_o touch_v the_o request_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a case_n that_o he_o shall_v desire_v to_o be_v wipe_v out_o of_o the_o book_n that_o god_n have_v write_v 3â—_n exod._n 32_o 3â—_n for_o he_o know_v well_o it_o be_v unpossible_a he_o be_v not_o so_o ignorant_a but_o that_o he_o know_v god_n determination_n to_o be_v unchaungeable_a and_o that_o his_o choose_n of_o those_o that_o be_v his_o can_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v alter_v and_o therefore_o this_o request_n seem_v to_o be_v unordinate_a yea_o and_o utter_o disagree_v to_o faith_n but_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o in_o this_o zeal_n moses_n respect_v not_o precise_o what_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v
servant_n abraham_n but_o what_o he_o refuse_v the_o tribe_n of_o manasses_n and_o ephraim_n 〈…〉_o psal_n 〈…〉_o and_o rest_v not_o there_o but_o choose_v the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n and_o why_o because_o it_o please_v he_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v look_v upon_o the_o outward_a appearance_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n be_v far_o great_a than_o the_o kingdom_n of_o juda_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o king_n david_n time_n they_o be_v all_o one_o kingdom_n but_o when_o the_o people_n fall_v away_o than_o the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n become_v of_o great_a honour_n among_o they_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n reserve_v this_o dignity_n to_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o mount_v zion_n that_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v there_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o to_o serve_v god_n aright_o man_n must_v uncase_v themselves_o of_o all_o pride_n so_o as_o they_o seek_v not_o to_o advance_v themselves_o but_o submit_v themselves_o whole_o to_o god_n will_v without_o regard_v to_o be_v honour_v above_o other_o after_o the_o ambitious_a manner_n of_o the_o papist_n which_o strive_v who_o shall_v go_v foremost_a to_o the_o offering_n they_o pretend_v to_o do_v it_o of_o devotion_n but_o indeed_o they_o do_v it_o of_o devilish_a pride_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o accept_v our_o service_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o humility_n and_o not_o to_o turn_v our_o tail_n to_o our_o neighbour_n &_o if_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o endue_v any_o other_o with_o great_a grace_n than_o ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o spite_v they_o for_o it_o as_o we_o be_v warn_v of_o it_o we_o see_v that_o god_n distribute_v his_o gift_n more_o unto_o one_o than_o unto_o another_o what_o be_v now_o to_o be_v do_v shall_v we_o have_v spite_n at_o it_o shall_v we_o gaze_v about_o we_o how_o to_o make_v ourselves_o iolie_a fellow_n alas_o we_o do_v but_o wander_v away_o from_o god_n when_o we_o step_v forth_o to_o advance_v ourselves_o before_o man_n therefore_o let_v we_o proceed_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o not_o be_v so_o fond_o and_o wicked_o dispose_v as_o to_o have_v a_o will_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o our_o neighbour_n and_o so_o we_o see_v what_o moses_n mean_v to_o express_v here_o in_o say_v god_n will_v choose_v he_o out_o some_o one_o certain_a place_n from_o among_o thy_o tribe_n and_o let_v it_o not_o grieve_v they_o that_o be_v put_v back_o from_o it_o for_o why_o if_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o humble_v they_o they_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o by_o their_o come_n to_o rush_v against_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n hold_v himself_o content_v with_o his_o degree_n and_o measure_n and_o let_v he_o that_o be_v little_a hold_n himself_o content_v with_o his_o littleness_n and_o now_o he_o add_v express_o also_o that_o god_n will_v choose_v a_o place_n to_o put_v his_o name_n in_o whereby_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v enclose_v in_o it_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o substance_n for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o there_o be_v always_o two_o thing_n which_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o when_o we_o have_v a_o outward_a order_n or_o form_n of_o serve_v god_n we_o must_v observe_v two_o thing_n therein_o the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n see_v we_o to_o be_v rude_a and_o earthly_a he_o stoop_v unto_o we_o and_o pleasure_v we_o so_o far_o as_o to_o give_v we_o thing_n fit_a for_o us._n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o in_o pray_v do_v use_v these_o ceremony_n of_o kneel_v down_o of_o put_v off_o our_o cap_n and_o lift_v up_o our_o hand_n wherefore_o do_v we_o so_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o god_n have_v need_n of_o it_o for_o his_o part_n but_o for_o our_o own_o weakness_n sake_n because_o we_o be_v over_o gross_a we_o be_v fain_o to_o be_v exercise_v after_o that_o fashion_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o have_v baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n holy_a supper_n all_o which_o thing_n be_v for_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v on_o our_o part_n but_o when_o as_o god_n bear_v with_o we_o after_o that_o fashion_n let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o surmise_v he_o not_o to_o be_v like_o ourselves_o or_o that_o we_o think_v he_o not_o to_o behave_v himself_o after_o our_o lust_n for_o man_n be_v always_o in_o danger_n of_o fall_v into_o that_o extremity_n the_o thing_n then_o in_o effect_n which_o moses_n mean_v to_o say_v be_v this_o the_o lord_n will_v choose_v he_o a_o place_n to_o set_v his_o sanctuary_n in_o there_o will_v he_o have_v you_o to_o worship_v he_o there_o will_v he_o have_v you_o to_o offer_v your_o sacrifice_n to_o he_o thither_o will_v he_o have_v you_o to_o bring_v your_o oblation_n there_o will_v he_o have_v you_o to_o honour_v he_o w_z t_z your_o person_n &_o good_n protest_v yourselves_o to_o be_v whole_o at_o his_o devotion_n but_o yet_o must_v you_o not_o think_v that_o your_o god_n be_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o shut_v up_o in_o a_o coffer_n or_o chest_n you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o he_o fit_v between_o cherubin_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o you_o that_o his_o name_n be_v there_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o give_v you_o

11.24_o namely_o that_o whereas_o his_o father_n have_v beat_v the_o people_n with_o rod_n he_o will_v beat_v they_o with_o whip_n and_o he_o will_v lay_v upon_o they_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v

some_o excess_n in_o solomon_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v not_o for_o nought_o forbid_v king_n to_o gather_v great_a mass_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o do_v david_n use_v the_o prayer_n which_o i_o have_v rehearse_v before_o for_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o he_o see_v the_o

in_o comparison_n of_o god_n law_n because_o he_o see_v there_o his_o true_a felicity_n and_o glory_n so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v in_o few_o word_n that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n forbid_v king_n to_o hoard_v up_o great_a treasure_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o be_v scotfree_a so_o their_o heart_n inclyne_v not_o to_o pride_n vaynglorie_n and_o

continual_o after_o some_o manner_n or_o other_o for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o in_o this_o place_n god_n mean_v to_o hold_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n within_o some_o

that_o be_v through_o their_o own_o fault_n and_o unthankfulness_n so_o as_o they_o be_v ever_o in_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n unto_o the_o time_n of_o david_n do_v david_n subdue_v all_o his_o

when_o a_o prince_n be_v unjust_o assail_v then_o may_v he_o withstand_v his_o enemy_n by_o force_n for_o why_o the_o man_n that_o enterprise_v to_o trouble_v a_o other_o body_n possession_n or_o

that_o have_v the_o power_n ordain_v of_o god_n may_v enter_v into_o arm_n against_o all_o such_o as_o fall_v to_o trouble_v and_o vex_v of_o their_o subject_n and_o such_o manner_n of_o war_n be_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o also_o of_o necessity_n to_o be_v undertake_v by_o they_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n then_o that_o god_n do_v encourage_v his_o people_n say_v that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v faint_a heart_a and_o cowardly_a when_o they_o go_v to_o war_n against_o their_o enemy_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o lest_o we_o may_v

his_o people_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o their_o quarrel_n must_v be_v just_a and_o reasonable_a and_o hereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v by_o the_o way_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o make_v war_n upon_o necessity_n conditional_o that_o the_o war_n be_v to_o none_o other_o end_n than_o to_o procure_v peace_n &_o to_o obtain_v it_o there_o be_v some_o fantastical_a person_n which_o imagine_v

make_v their_o vow_n they_o swear_v to_o abstain_v from_o marriage_n wherein_o they_o make_v open_a war_n against_o god_n and_o defy_v he_o and_o why_o because_o they_o take_v that_o upon_o they_o which_o be_v not_o grant_v they_o they_o suppose_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o forbear_v the_o remedy_n of_o marriage_n and_o yet_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v whether_o god_n have_v call_v

will_v speak_v to_o her_o babe_n see_v then_o that_o god_n do_v so_o fashion_v himself_o to_o our_o small_a capacity_n we_o ought_v of_o right_a to_o love_v well_o his_o word_n but_o yet_o

it_o behove_v his_o favour_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v hide_v away_o in_o the_o dark_a that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n mean_v to_o show_v in_o this_o text_n in_o say_v thou_o shall_v choose_v a_o king_n from_o among_o thy_o brethren_n without_o appoint_v out_o the_o house_n as_o have_v be_v do_v afore_o but_o howesoever_o the_o case_n stand_v god_n holdingbacke_n of_o his_o favour_n for_o a_o time_n be_v no_o utter_a abolish_n thereof_o then_o do_v he_o delay_v his_o promise_n of_o set_v uppe_o a_o king_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n but_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o utter_o bereave_v his_o people_n of_o that_o hope_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o the_o people_n of_o themselves_o make_v a_o interruption_n and_o yet_o that_o god_n for_o all_o his_o chastise_v of_o they_o use_v gracious_a goodness_n and_o moderate_v his_o rigour_n insomuch_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v abide_v still_o save_v that_o the_o time_n thereof_o be_v prolong_v let_v we_o mark_v therefore_o that_o god_n to_o correct_v the_o fault_n of_o his_o people_n do_v hide_v away_o his_o favour_n for_o a_o time_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o manifest_o see_v but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o come_v again_o thus_o overcom_v he_o our_o naughtiness_n with_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n but_o yet_o sometime_o we_o feel_v it_o not_o though_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o it_o howesoever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o if_o our_o lord_n at_o any_o time_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o and_o seem_v not_o to_o perform_v his_o promise_n to_o we_o our_o own_o fault_n be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o for_o that_o we_o be_v froward_a and_o have_v pull_v back_o god_n hand_n when_o he_o will_v have_v reach_v it_o out_o to_o have_v discharge_v his_o promise_n towards_o us._n for_o how_o many_o time_n a_o day_n provoke_v we_o his_o wrath_n and_o be_v not_o that_o a_o

grace_n after_o that_o fashion_n if_o it_o appear_v not_o again_o unto_o we_o out_o of_o hand_n we_o have_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v to_o blame_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v discourage_v but_o we_o must_v pray_v god_n that_o although_o he_o have_v defer_v the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o be_v utter_o bereave_v of_o they_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v but_o that_o after_o we_o have_v languish_v for_o a_o time_n and_o be_v chastise_v for_o our_o offence_n we_o return_v again_o without_o fail_n and_o enjoy_v y_z e_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o that_o text_n and_o whereas_o god_n forbid_v his_o people_n to_o have_v any_o stranger_n to_o be_v their_o king_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o the_o one_o be_v y_fw-fr t_o that_o kingdom_n be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v come_v to_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o unbeliever_n or_o ydolater_n for_o that_o have_v be_v a_o defile_n of_o holy_a thing_n if_o heathen_a king_n reign_v over_o their_o like_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o for_o although_o some_o unbelieve_a king_n reign_v over_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n by_o tyranny_n 25.21_o 2._o kin._n 17.6_o &_o 25.21_o as_o be_v do_v by_o the_o babylonian_n and_o afterward_o by_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v but_o that_o there_o be_v always_o this_o exemption_n that_o god_n have_v still_o a_o peculiar_a kind_n of_o reign_v whereby_o he_o show_v as_o in_o a_o lookingglasse_n they_o y_fw-fr t_o people_n be_v gather_v together_o as_o into_o his_o own_o house_n therefore_o if_o a_o stranger_n have_v be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o seat_n of_o david_n it_o have_v be_v treachery_n against_o god_n &_o the_o reproach_n have_v be_v offer_v to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o only_a son_n for_o when_o the_o kingdom_n be_v establish_v in_o the_o line_n of_o david_n this_o promise_n be_v add_v i_o will_v be_v his_o father_n 1.5_o psal._n 2.7_o &_o hebr._n 1.5_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n and_o the_o apostle_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v so_o honourable_a a_o title_n that_o it_o belong_v not_o even_o to_o the_o angel_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v sometime_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n howbeit_o that_o be_v not_o without_o a_o addition_n whereas_o christ_n have_v it_o because_o he_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o creature_n now_o then_o have_v they_o choosen_v a_o ydolater_n and_o set_v he_o up_o in_o the_o seat_n which_o god_n have_v reserve_v for_o his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v establish_v in_o his_o infinite_a grace_n who_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o who_o be_v above_o all_o the_o principality_n of_o the_o world_n yea_o and_o above_o heaven_n itself_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n 1.16.17_o col._n 1.16.17_o as_o y_o e_o apostle_n speak_v of_o he_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n what_o a_o thing_n have_v that_o be_v have_v it_o not_o be_v a_o unnatural_a confusion_n and_o too_o shameful_a a_o defile_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o for_o the_o first_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v not_o have_v a_o stranger_n to_o sit_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o david_n and_o in_o so_o do_v god_n mean_v also_o to_o show_v a_o dreadful_a displeasure_n and_o to_o make_v the_o people_n to_o know_v how_o they_o be_v utter_o accurse_v in_o that_o they_o be_v disappoint_v of_o that_o kingdom_n &_o that_o god_n lamp_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n put_v out_o for_o that_o similitude_n be_v often_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 11.36_o 1._o
kin._n 11.36_o to_o show_v that_o god_n make_v his_o light_n to_o shine_v upon_o his_o people_n and_o that_o although_o there_o be_v not_o at_o all_o time_n great_a light_n yet_o there_o shall_v ever_o be_v a_o lamp_n howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v and_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o if_o a_o strange_a shall_v have_v reign_v he_o will_v soon_o have_v change_v the_o religion_n as_o we_o know_v that_o the_o heathen_a will_n always_o needs_o set_v up_o their_o own_o superstition_n and_o why_o for_o common_o they_o have_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o awe_n but_o rather_o they_o think_v god_n to_o be_v bind_v unto_o they_o if_o they_o give_v man_n leave_v to_o worship_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o after_o some_o sort_n &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o will_v needs_o turn_v all_o the_o service_n of_o god_n to_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o like_n if_o the_o turk_n get_v the_o sovereignetie_n in_o any_o country_n although_o he_o be_v content_v to_o abide_v the_o christian_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o yet_o do_v he_o work_v they_o all_o the_o spite_n and_o reproach_n that_o can_v be_v to_o discourage_v they_o where_o the_o papist_n bear_v sway_n they_o defile_v all_o the_o purity_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o they_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v or_o that_o the_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v pure_o use_v but_o they_o will_v needs_o put_v all_o to_o havoc_n and_o in_o any_o wise_a set_v up_o their_o own_o ydolatry_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o will_v have_v come_v of_o it_o insomuch_o y_o it_o if_o a_o stranger_n shall_v have_v reign_v over_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n it_o have_v be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o have_v overthrow_v the_o whole_a law_n not_o without_o cause_n therefore_o do_v god_n express_o provide_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o choose_v any_o other_o king_n than_o of_o the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o covenaunt_n 2.11.12_o col._n 2.11.12_o and_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n circumcision_n which_o be_v the_o like_a sacrament_n to_o the_o jew_n that_o we_o have_v nowadays_o of_o baptism_n but_o now_o must_v we_o apply_v this_o to_o our_o own_o use_n and_o understande_v first_o of_o all_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v maintain_v in_o such_o soundenesse_n as_o that_o we_o must_v beware_v of_o bring_v any_o defilement_n into_o it_o and_o what_o be_v y_fw-fr e_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o y_a to_o it_o consist_v not_o in_o any_o visible_a thing_n or_o in_o any_o thing_n belong_v to_o this_o present_a life_n but_o it_o be_v the_o gather_n of_o we_o together_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n into_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o a_o rule_n to_o hold_v we_o under_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n and_o although_o the_o sacrament_n be_v visible_a of_o themselves_o yet_o be_v they_o nevertheless_o spiritual_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o end_n as_o all_o other_o ceremony_n be_v we_o come_v hither_o together_o well_o it_o be_v a_o visible_a thing_n we_o kneel_v down_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n &_o that_o be_v visible_a also_o but_o yet_o it_o aim_v at_o a_o high_a end_n and_o have_v a_o respect_n which_o be_v altogether_o spiritual_a so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n ought_v to_o be_v maintain_v in_o his_o full_a soundenesse_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v beware_v that_o we_o mingle_v not_o any_o corruption_n with_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v command_v in_o his_o church_n ne_o thrust_v in_o such_o person_n as_o may_v serve_v to_o overthrow_v the_o common_a weal_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v choose_v false_a shepherd_n and_o man_n of_o wicked_a doctrine_n or_o of_o lewd_a conversation_n be_v it_o not_o a_o dishonour_v of_o jesus_n christ_n kingdom_n and_o a_o put_n of_o all_o thing_n to_o havoc_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v see_v then_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v forbid_v to_o set_v up_o a_o strange_a king_n in_o the_o seat_n that_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o that_o we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o govern_v we_o not_o in_o shadow_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n but_o in_o full_a truth_n now_o that_o we_o have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v call_v the_o daysunne_n of_o righteousness_n as_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n term_v he_o 4_o mâ—_n â—_o 4_o who_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o we_o and_o rule_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o we_o what_o a_o treachery_n be_v it_o if_o we_o shall_v deface_v his_o royal_a throne_n and_o not_o maintain_v it_o in_o such_o pureness_n as_o that_o he_o may_v always_o reign_v by_o his_o word_n and_o every_o man_n do_v he_o homage_n and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a know_v he_o 〈…〉_o psal._n 〈…〉_o and_o he_o have_v always_o his_o pre-eminence_n among_o we_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o god_n command_v we_o here_o to_o have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o his_o church_n so_o as_o there_o may_v be_v no_o defilement_n to_o hinder_v christ_n reign_v over_o we_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v now_o as_o touch_v the_o second_o reason_n let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o if_o god_n have_v give_v a_o people_n the_o grace_n to_o choose_v king_n prince_n magistrate_n or_o judge_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v great_a regard_n that_o the_o

take_v magistrate_n that_o be_v either_o deadly_a enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o hypocrite_n that_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o turn_v all_o thing_n upsidedowne_v or_o worldelinge_n that_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o tread_v all_o religion_n under_o foot_n be_v not_o the_o admit_v of_o such_o man_n as_o a_o open_n of_o the_o gate_n unto_o satan_n that_o he_o may_v have_v
