our_o lord_n amen_o the_o five_o lecture_n which_o be_v the_o first_o upon_o the_o second_o chapter_n we_o hear_v yesterday_o the_o complaint_n that_o god_n take_v up_o against_o his_o people_n the_o

without_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o and_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v transport_v and_o carry_v away_o by_o their_o own_o dream_n and_o forgery_n verse_n 6._o and_o they_o say_v not_o that_o be_v

for_o god_n here_o blame_v the_o people_n for_o no_o small_a fault_n see_v they_o have_v forget_v his_o benefit_n and_o yet_o have_v he_o redeem_v they_o after_o such_o a_o admirable_a manner_n that_o it_o worthy_o deserve_v to_o be_v celebrate_v not_o of_o one_o nation_n only_o but_o of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n beside_o see_v then_o how_o just_o he_o tax_v the_o jew_n for_o their_o hateful_a ingratitude_n for_o forget_v the_o memory_n of_o so_o famous_a and_o incomparable_a a_o deliverance_n have_v they_o not_o at_o all_o feel_v god_n bounty_n and_o liberality_n

god_n have_v not_o after_o a_o ordinary_a manner_n discover_v his_o power_n from_o heaven_n and_o have_v open_o manifest_v his_o majesty_n and_o glory_n even_o in_o the_o very_a eye_n of_o the_o

this_o they_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o apply_v their_o mind_n and_o heart_n to_o seek_v after_o the_o lord_n thus_o then_o the_o prophet_n here_o prevent_v the_o reply_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o allege_v that_o they_o be_v deceive_v and_o that_o they_o fault_v rather_o of_o ignorance_n than_o otherwise_o for_o it_o be_v always_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o that_o be_v find_v guilty_a to_o seek_v evasion_n and_o start_a hole_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v call_v to_o a_o account_n that_o the_o jew_n than_o may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v in_o their_o excuse_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o here_o in_o plain_a word_n that_o they_o err_v not_o of_o ignorance_n but_o of_o malice_n through_o which_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o after_o their_o vanity_n and_o lie_n in_o regard_n they_o have_v witting_o despise_v the_o lord_n and_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o ask_v after_o he_o though_o he_o be_v near_o enough_o unto_o they_o this_o place_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o nothing_o be_v more_o usual_a with_o the_o wicked_a after_o they_o be_v once_o convince_v than_o to_o seek_v this_o refuge_n namely_o that_o the_o give_v of_o themselves_o to_o all_o superstition_n proceed_v forsooth_o from_o their_o good_a intention_n the_o prophet_n therefore_o meet_v with_o this_o wile_n and_o show_v that_o where_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n have_v be_v once_o entertain_v among_o man_n there_o his_o name_n and_o glory_n can_v be_v blot_v out_o unless_o it_o be_v of_o set_a malice_n when_o they_o witting_o and_o willing_o estrange_v themselves_o from_o he_o and_o thus_o this_o one_o clause_n so_o condemn_v all_o apostate_n that_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o answer_v when_o they_o object_n we_o be_v overtake_v through_o ignorance_n for_o a_o man_n shall_v no_o soon_o bring_v they_o forth_o to_o the_o trial_n but_o their_o malice_n and_o ingratitude_n shall_v forthwith_o be_v discover_v in_o regard_n they_o vouchsafe_v not_o to_o ask_v where_o be_v the_o lord_n he_o by_z and_o by_o add_v that_o which_o be_v the_o exposition_n of_o this_o sentence_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o here_o of_o sentence_a babe_n in_o understanding_n but_o of_o the_o jew_n who_o by_o sure_a and_o certain_a proof_n know_v that_o god_n be_v their_o father_n see_v then_o god_n have_v manifest_v himself_o unto_o they_o by_o so_o many_o infallible_a testimony_n they_o have_v not_o to_o allege_v for_o themselves_o so_o much_o as_o any_o show_n of_o ignorance_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o the_o prophet_n say_v it_o come_v not_o into_o their_o thought_n to_o ask_v where_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o have_v bring_v we_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n etc._n etc._n this_o can_v not_o be_v say_v general_o of_o all_o nation_n therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o this_o speech_n be_v direct_v particular_o to_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v taste_v and_o feel_v the_o power_n of_o god_n by_o evident_a testimony_n so_o as_o they_o can_v not_o offend_v but_o of_o set_a purpose_n that_o be_v in_o quench_v by_o their_o frowardness_n the_o clear_a light_n that_o shine_v before_o they_o also_o the_o prophet_n yet_o further_o aggravate_v their_o offence_n by_o certain_a circumstance_n for_o he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o they_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o egypt_n but_o that_o god_n be_v always_o to_o they_o in_o stead_n of_o a_o captain_n and_o leader_n and_o that_o for_o forty_o year_n together_o for_o under_o this_o word_n desert_n he_o note_v the_o time_n now_o because_o the_o history_n thereof_o be_v fresh_a in_o memory_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o touch_v it_o only_o in_o a_o word_n and_o yet_o even_o therein_o he_o notable_o set_v forth_o god_n glory_n in_o mention_v the_o desert_n but_o in_o the_o first_o place_n observe_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v altogether_o inexcusable_a in_o that_o they_o remember_v not_o how_o their_o father_n have_v be_v miraculous_o preserve_v for_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o

then_o that_o their_o fault_n be_v here_o augment_v by_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n now_o follow_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o for_o the_o prophet_n call_v the_o desert_n a_o dry_a or_o vast_a land_n a_o terrible_a land_n a_o hideous_a or_o horrible_a land_n a_o land_n of_o deadly_a darkness_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o be_v preserve_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o many_o

not_o only_o compass_v about_o with_o one_o but_o with_o a_o hundred_o death_n see_v god_n then_o beyond_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n bring_v you_o by_o a_o stretch_a out_o arm_n from_o out_o of_o

of_o all_o if_o he_o have_v hold_v on_o the_o course_n of_o these_o his_o benefit_n for_o a_o long_a space_n and_o after_o diverse_a manner_n towards_o us._n he_o go_v on_o in_o the_o next_o word_n
