to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o senseless_a as_o we_o be_v before_o to_o flatter_v &_o to_o harden_v ourselves_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v direct_o unto_o he_o and_o yield_v

again_o as_o if_o it_o be_v sow_v with_o salt_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o leanness_n nor_o any_o sustenance_n to_o be_v find_v therein_o we_o perceive_v then_o by_o the_o land_n

to_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v long_o ago_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o whereas_o he_o be_v our_o father_n whereas_o we_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o in_o this_o world_n and_o

hence_o will_v we_o have_v a_o infallible_a hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n let_v we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o promise_n let_v we_o not_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o as_o a_o number_n

here_o in_o say_v god_n swear_v to_o your_o father_n moreover_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n serve_v not_o for_o one_o age_n

most_o excellent_a above_o all_o other_o but_o behold_v the_o people_n on_o the_o otherside_n be_v malicious_a and_o froward_a therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n shall_v say_v

there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a goodness_n and_o in_o this_o people_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a naughtiness_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o to_o enjoy_v god_n benefit_n we_o

our_o own_o nature_n god_n must_v needs_o withdraw_v his_o goodness_n away_o from_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n look_v not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n at_o our_o hand_n why_o he_o shall_v do_v we_o good_a nay_o rather_o he_o fight_v daily_o against_o our_o sin_n and_o use_v mercy_n where_o as_o he_o may_v lawful_o use_v rigour_n against_o us._n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o naughtiness_n he_o can_v no_o long_o continue_v in_o do_v we_o good_a you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o consideration_n be_v that_o there_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o accord_n and_o melody_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o that_o when_o he_o impart_v his_o benefit_n unto_o we_o we_o must_v make_v such_o estimation_n of_o they_o as_o we_o indever_n to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o for_o they_o and_o consider_v that_o he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o to_o pluck_v we_o back_o from_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o do_v so_o the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o shall_v be_v confirm_v more_o &_o more_o otherwise_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o our_o naughtiness_n shall_v cut_v off_o the_o course_n of_o his_o goodness_n why_o so_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o god_n offer_v man_n his_o benefit_n &_o they_o refuse_v they_o of_o a_o wilful_a frowardness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o fire_n and_o water_n shall_v meet_v together_o but_o beside_o this_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v god_n upbraid_v of_o the_o people_n with_o their_o say_n that_o their_o young_a child_n shall_v be_v a_o pray_v to_o their_o enemy_n they_o say_v he_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n yea_o even_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o you_o may_v be_v prove_v liar_n here_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o man_n will_v needs_o doubt_v of_o god_n truth_n they_o must_v in_o the_o end_n be_v
we_o look_v upon_o man_n it_o will_v be_v unpossible_a for_o we_o to_o go_v right_a but_o we_o must_v follow_v god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o god_n be_v so_o good_a unto_o we_o as_o to_o give_v we_o man_n to_o accompany_v we_o yea_o and_o to_o go_v before_o we_o and_o to_o reach_v we_o their_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o great_a help_n 13.7_o 1._o cor._n 4.16_o &_o heb._n 13.7_o and_o as_o paul_n tell_v we_o we_o must_v look_v wist_o upon_o they_o and_o when_o we_o have_v good_a servant_n of_o god_n which_o teach_v we_o and_o lead_v we_o with_o good_a conscience_n we_o must_v mark_v that_o and_o fashion_n ourselves_o like_a to_o they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o follow_v man_n for_o in_o fashion_v ourselves_o like_a to_o they_o that_o follow_v god_n we_o have_v his_o way_n 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 he_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o go_v yea_o though_o there_o be_v no_o mo_z but_o myself_o alone_o yet_o ought_v i_o to_o follow_v my_o god_n but_o if_o furthermore_o he_o bear_v with_o i_o so_o far_o as_o to_o give_v i_o company_n then_o must_v i_o go_v to_o he_o with_o so_o much_o the_o better_a courage_n and_o whatsoever_o come_v of_o it_o i_o must_v not_o swerve_v from_o his_o pure_a word_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o caleb_n the_o son_n of_o jephone_n follow_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o common_a condemnation_n yea_o and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o follow_v constant_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o continue_v throughout_o to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o so_o we_o see_v now_o in_o effect_n that_o all_o the_o

will_v let_v we_o alone_o no_o no_o for_o if_o such_o punishment_n as_o we_o hear_v of_o be_v extend_v upon_o moses_n needs_o must_v we_o feel_v far_o sore_a when_o we_o entangle_v ourselves_o in_o the_o common_a vice_n and_o forsake_v god_n to_o follow_v the_o world_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o 14.34_o num._n 14.34_o that_o in_o swear_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v not_o enter_v into_o

that_o god_n do_v sometime_o hear_v we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o appear_v not_o so_o to_o any_o man_n think_v yea_o and_o even_o we_o ourselves_o may_v suppose_v that_o we_o have_v lose_v our_o time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v sure_o reject_v the_o yell_n of_o the_o wicked_a when_o they_o cry_v out_o unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o will_v laugh_v at_o their_o weep_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o and_o yet_o in_o so_o do_v he_o fail_v not_o to_o accomplish_v his_o promise_n which_o be_v that_o he_o will_v hear_v all_o they_o that_o cry_v unto_o he_o 7.14_o ãâã_d 22.27_o &_o chr._n 7.14_o and_o why_o for_o this_o promise_n belong_v to_o none_o but_o such_o as_o cry_v unto_o god_n right_o and_o come_v not_o to_o he_o with_o windlass_n and_o fein_v according_a to_o this_o express_a say_n of_o the_o psalm_n 145.18_o ãâã_d 145.18_o that_o god_n be_v near_o to_o all_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o yea_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n then_o if_o we_o will_v be_v hear_v at_o god_n hand_n we_o must_v first_o and_o foremost_a have_v our_o affection_n cleanse_v and_o therefore_o his_o reject_v of_o the_o hypocrite_n when_o they_o cry_v unto_o he_o be_v no_o counterwork_a against_o his_o promise_n for_o they_o be_v unclean_a in_o deed_n they_o howl_v and_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v alas_o my_o god_n they_o will_v make_v

be_v possible_a their_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n be_v as_o though_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n now_o then_o this_o howl_n of_o they_o be_v brutish_a and_o have_v no_o affinity_n with_o faith_n to_o

not_o hear_v we_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o bodily_a punishment_n that_o he_o send_v we_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v merciful_a and_o well_o mind_v towards_o us._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o when_o our_o lord_n send_v we_o any_o disease_n so_o as_o one_o be_v strike_v with_o poverty_n another_o be_v smite_v after_o another_o fashion_n and_o every_o man_n have_v his_o grief_n if_o we_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o the_o misery_n be_v as_o though_o it_o be_v tie_v to_o our_o shoulder_n and_o he_o make_v no_o

which_o he_o send_v let_v we_o look_v to_o be_v deliver_v of_o it_o in_o the_o end_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v it_o suffice_v we_o to_o be_v comfort_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o

true_a repentance_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n be_v not_o unmindful_a of_o our_o request_n though_o he_o hear_v we_o not_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o will_v and_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o repentance_n must_v keep_v we_o still_o under_o so_o as_o although_o that_o to_o our_o seem_n the_o gate_n unto_o god_n goodness_n be_v shut_v against_o we_o and_o he_o will_v not_o admit_v we_o in_o yet_o nevertheless_o our_o prayer_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o god_n will_v show_v in_o the_o end_n that_o he_o be_v not_o deaf_a to_o our_o request_n but_o that_o

think_v upon_o it_o &_o consider_v how_o it_o be_v god_n hand_n y_o it_o
all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o man_n have_v transpose_v those_o bound_n they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o confess_v that_o bound_n be_v a_o very_a holy_a thing_n and_o true_o the_o transgress_v in_o

such_o war_n as_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n through_o ambition_n or_o covetousness_n or_o pride_n otherwise_o we_o see_v here_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n ought_v to_o make_v war_n for_o god_n

the_o cause_n why_o there_o happen_v so_o many_o change_n and_o it_o be_v marvel_n that_o there_o be_v not_o see_v yet_o a_o hundred_o time_n mo_z sure_o if_o god_n have_v not_o a_o special_a regard_n

to_o flight_n that_o be_v a_o change_n that_o come_v of_o god_n but_o as_o for_o to_o assail_v unprovoke_v that_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o be_v not_o to_o fight_v against_o creature_n but_o against_o the_o live_a god_n and_o let_v we_o weigh_v well_o the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o thou_o shall_v not_o provoke_v they_o say_v he_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o thou_o and_o

misbehave_v themselves_o for_o even_o therefore_o do_v he_o cast_v that_o fear_n upon_o the_o edomite_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v not_o have_v any_o occasion_n of_o

buy_v and_o sell_v quiet_o with_o they_o therein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o touch_v before_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n purpose_v to_o maintain_v a_o people_n in_o their_o possession_n he_o will_v give_v

that_o we_o may_v not_o follow_v those_o who_o we_o see_v to_o have_v their_o head_n full_a of_o unquietness_n so_o as_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v meddle_v with_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o let_v

this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n insomuch_o that_o he_o fall_v even_o to_o flatter_v of_o he_o even_o after_o y_o e_o same_o manner_n do_v god_n

furthermore_o where_o as_o he_o say_v that_o god_n lead_v his_o people_n about_o by_o the_o space_n of_o eight_o and_o thirty_o year_n until_o such_o time_n as_o all_o those_o that_o be_v able_a to_o

execute_v the_o vengeance_n which_o he_o have_v threaten_v to_o his_o people_n and_o as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o tremble_v at_o god_n threaten_n as_o well_o as_o to_o be_v move_v at_o his_o promise_n such_o be_v our_o nature_n that_o when_o god_n promise_v we_o any_o thing_n we_o fall_v to_o scan_n and_o dispute_v of_o it_o so_o as_o we_o can_v rest_v upon_o it_o to_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o we_o can_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n but_o as_o for_o to_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o it_o we_o will_v none_o of_o that_o unless_o his_o truth_n be_v well_o seal_v and_o warrant_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o too_o we_o be_v so_o incline_v to_o distrust_n that_o we_o draw_v still_o back_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n promise_v we_o so_o brutish_a and_o dulheaded_a be_v we_o and_o this_o appear_v yet_o more_o when_o he_o threaten_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o his_o judgement_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o he_o be_v provoke_v the_o threaten_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n but_o have_v their_o effect_n and_o performance_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o purpose_n moses_n rehearse_v again_o that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v above_o twenty_o year_n old_a at_o the_o time_n that_o the_o people_n murmur_v be_v consume_v and_o that_o not_o by_o casualty_n but_o according_a to_o the_o lord_n

let_v we_o also_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o god_n can_v abide_v that_o man_n shall_v despise_v and_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v and_o let_v occasion_n slip_v for_o if_o he_o

unto_o they_o it_o be_v for_o that_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o we_o see_v then_o that_o unthankfulness_n provoke_v god_n vengeance_n against_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a special_o when_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v we_o and_o that_o such_o refusal_n proceed_v of_o wilfulness_n and_o malice_n which_o happen_v in_o manner_n continual_o for_o what_o make_v we_o so_o loath_a to_o receive_v the_o good_a turn_n that_o god_n will_v do_v we_o but_o our_o own_o unbelief_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o think_v not_o that_o

and_o have_v all_o praise_n give_v unto_o he_o furthermore_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o that_o we_o know_v not_o why_o god_n have_v prefer_v we_o before_o other_o for_o it_o be_v only_o he_o that_o

they_o keep_v aloof_o from_o god_n and_o be_v so_o full_a of_o hypocrisy_n that_o they_o take_v vice_n to_o be_v virtue_n and_o which_o worse_a be_v do_v sooth_n themselves_o in_o their_o vice_n

themselves_o in_o good_a earnest_n &_o they_o hinder_v not_o themselves_o through_o any_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o when_o god_n come_v to_o the_o faithful_a they_o acknowledge_v their_o own_o misdeed_n and_o hate_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o when_o god_n have_v reform_v they_o so_o as_o they_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o they_o by_o his_o holy_a ghost_n they_o father_n all_o upon_o his_o free_a goodness_n know_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o thing_n in_o they_o worthy_a to_o be_v make_v account_n of_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v herewithal_o that_o since_o our_o lord_n

single_a promise_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o but_o also_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o swear_v that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o better_a warrant_n to_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o upon_o his_o say_n in_o deed_n god_n ought_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o obey_v though_o he_o give_v but_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o yet_o he_o condescend_v to_o our_o infirmity_n and_o so_o have_v he_o vouchsafe_v to_o do_v even_o from_o the_o beginning_n so_o as_o he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o give_v we_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o he_o have_v also_o warrant_v it_o with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n wherefore_o if_o in_o these_o day_n there_o rise_v any_o doubt_n concern_v our_o salvation_n yea_o or_o but_o even_o concern_v this_o transitory_a life_n if_o we_o doubt_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o promise_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o they_o be_v warrant_v to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o cast_v any_o

yea_o and_o even_o of_o perjury_n and_o what_o a_o devilish_a blasphemy_n be_v that_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o stick_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v so_o well_o warrant_v unto_o we_o unless_o we_o will_v be_v blame_v for_o blaspheme_a god_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v moreover_o that_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o make_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a mortal_a man_n and_o confirm_v the_o same_o to_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n who_o be_v but_o weak_a creature_n though_o they_o have_v receive_v never_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o grace_n ââ_o hebr._n ââ_o we_o may_v much_o better_a trust_n that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o in_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o we_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o lord_n

10.16_o ãâã_d 10.16_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o will_v circumcise_v thy_o heart_n it_o be_v his_o very_a office_n we_o see_v then_o that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o his_o law_n it_o be_v not_o

as_o y_z e_z most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v in_o who_o as_o we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o slavish_a fear_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v so_o to_o govern_v all_o our_o affection_n

they_o that_o know_v what_o faith_n be_v do_v understande_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o hard_a than_o for_o we_o to_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n and_o in_o that_o behalf_n we_o must_v

that_o his_o glory_n may_v shine_v forth_o in_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n in_o say_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v that_o

shall_v your_o day_n be_v prolong_v in_o the_o land_n which_o you_o go_v to_o possess_v hereby_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o moses_n make_v not_o a_o exhortation_n to_o the_o people_n to_o show_v that_o the_o word_n be_v not_o vain_a but_o rather_o that_o he_o make_v they_o a_o promise_n that_o the_o word_n shall_v have_v force_n and_o virtue_n continual_o as_o it_o be_v without_o

be_v that_o god_n create_v of_o we_o and_o his_o set_n of_o we_o in_o this_o world_n be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o look_v at_o he_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o hope_v for_o all_o good_a thing_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o what_o we_o be_v so_o earthly_a that_o we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n come_v nigh_o he_o and_o indeed_o he_o be_v too_o far_o off_o and_o though_o we_o think_v upon_o he_o yet_o

state_n be_v until_o our_o lord_n have_v draw_v we_o to_o he_o and_o communicate_v himself_o to_o we_o by_o mean_n of_o his_o word_n now_o when_o we_o once_o know_v that_o god_n word_n bring_v we_o such_o benefit_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v favourable_a to_o we_o that_o he_o quicken_v we_o and_o that_o it_o show_v we_o wherein_o our_o joy_n and_o felicity_n consist_v we_o must_v know_v also_o that_o it_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o seal_n &_o that_o our_o lord_n will_v have_v we_o to_o take_v it_o as_o a_o gage_n as_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v already_o and_o therefore_o whensoever_o god_n speak_v let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o he_o for_o he_o be_v no_o unsaier_n as_o mortal_a man_n be_v he_o be_v not_o free_a of_o promise_n and_o a_o performer_n of_o
