of_o fashion_n to_o serve_v god_n withal_o there_o be_v not_o that_o grove_n but_o they_o make_v some_o devotion_n in_o it_o and_o like_v as_o man_n build_v abbey_n pryory_n and_o chapel_n in_o the_o

also_o that_o they_o can_v not_o abide_v his_o glory_n to_o be_v any_o whit_n abate_v now_o we_o see_v the_o two_o reason_n that_o god_n have_v a_o eye_n unto_o in_o this_o place_n and_o now_o must_v

god_n intent_n to_o speak_v for_o any_o one_o time_n only_o and_o indeed_o as_o have_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o five_o chapter_n let_v we_o look_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o every_o man_n

so_o froward_a that_o although_o no_o body_n seduce_v we_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 put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 4.7_o 1._o cor._n 4.7_o who_o be_v he_o say_v paul_n that_o make_v thou_o to_o excel_v and_o in_o deed_n god_n

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 filth_n and_o wretchedness_n but_o the_o faithful_a be_v well_o waken_v do_v consider_v what_o god_n justice_n be_v after_o they_o have_v well_o examine_v themselves_o they_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o their_o fault_n and_o without_o flatter_v of_o themselves_o they_o take_v god_n word_n to_o they_o to_o discover_v all_o the_o naughtiness_n in_o they_o whereby_o they_o know_v how_o to_o condemn_v 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 vouchsafe_v to_o keep_v the_o covenaunt_n which_o he_o swear_v to_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n we_o need_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v and_o perform_v the_o promise_n at_o this_o day_n whereby_o he_o have_v willing_o bind_v himself_o unto_o us._n the_o word_n swear_v be_v set_v down_o because_o god_n consider_v man_n frailty_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o make_v they_o a_o 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 â—â—_o hebr._n â—â—_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

which_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v as_o for_o example_n the_o jew_n be_v teach_v that_o if_o they_o serve_v god_n and_o obey_v he_o he_o will_v keep_v they_o as_o

when_o the_o people_n have_v reply_v so_o and_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o again_o what_o mean_v you_o thus_o to_o distrust_v your_o god_n he_o have_v give_v we_o this_o land_n we_o have_v his_o

when_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n have_v not_o promise_v any_o such_o thing_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v bold_a upon_o our_o own_o head_n but_o harken_v

therein_o appear_v so_o much_o the_o lewd_a and_o outrageous_a naughtiness_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o god_n allege_v of_o this_o reason_n to_o the_o people_n be_v to_o the_o

let_v we_o inquire_v whether_o it_o concern_v god_n or_o no._n if_o we_o perceive_v that_o it_o concern_v god_n then_o must_v we_o submit_v ourselves_o thereto_o say_v lord_n thou_o be_v righteous_a

that_o god_n teach_v not_o his_o people_n by_o half_n ne_o give_v they_o a_o doctrine_n that_o be_v dark_a short_a or_o unperfect_a but_o such_o a_o law_n as_o comprehend_v all_o that_o be_v for_o

the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o covenant_n betwixt_o he_o and_o we_o in_o that_o it_o have_v please_v he_o to_o adopte_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o church_n to_o take_v we_o to_o himself_o whatsoever_o concern_v the_o spiritual_a alliance_n between_o he_o and_o we_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o word_n covenant_n because_o they_o be_v article_n for_o when_o man_n intend_v to_o

the_o great_a beauty_n to_o his_o goodness_n of_o purpose_n to_o strengthen_v abraham_n heart_n not_o that_o he_o intend_v to_o exalt_v abraham_n desert_n that_o he_o may_v presume_v of_o himself_o

to_o take_v the_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n where_o god_n behight_v we_o recompense_v we_o must_v not_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o we_o deserve_v aught_o or_o that_o our_o work_n be_v of_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

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 gather_v here_o together_o under_o his_o word_n to_o take_v he_o for_o our_o father_n and_o savour_n because_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o whereas_o moses_n declare_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

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

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

among_o they_o they_o ought_v to_o think_v alas_o when_o our_o father_n be_v cruel_o afflict_v in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n they_o will_v fain_o have_v be_v somewhat_o relieve_v be_v it_o not_o

the_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o consider_v how_o they_o have_v well_o deserve_v to_o have_v be_v utter_o root_v out_o if_o god_n have_v not_o show_v they_o mercy_n and_o he_o say_v

it_o may_v well_o seem_v that_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o the_o people_n be_v quite_o break_v and_o utter_o disannul_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o moses_n

consider_v all_o our_o life_n long_o how_o great_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n for_o utter_v so_o great_a goodness_n unto_o us._n there_o be_v a_o number_n to_o be_v see_v which_o do_v but_o wring_v

contrariwise_o it_o be_v show_v we_o here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o although_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o and_o listen_v not_o to_o call_v our_o fault_n to_o account_v yet_o must_v not_o we_o therefore_o thrust_v they_o under_o foot_n but_o rather_o call_v they_o to_o mind_v every_o day_n that_o it_o may_v first_o of_o all_o provoke_v we_o to_o repentance_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v fall_v eftsoo_o ne_o if_o god_n preserve_v we_o not_o and_o second_o make_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o we_o stand_v not_o but_o through_o his_o free_a mercy_n and_o final_o encourage_v we_o to_o magnify_v his_o name_n for_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o dungeon_n whereinto_o we_o be_v fall_v see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v so_o much_o bind_v unto_o he_o let_v we_o be_v the_o willing_a to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o place_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o post_n but_o that_o we_o must_v continue_v in_o pray_v without_o be_v weary_a and_o that_o be_v a_o point_n right_n necessary_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o whereas_o there_o be_v many_o fault_n in_o we_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a that_o we_o can_v settle_v ourselves_o unto_o prayer_n but_o we_o be_v fleet_v so_o as_o our_o mouth_n be_v no_o soon_o open_v but_o our_o wit_n be_v by_o and_o by_o wander_v elsewhere_o and_o beside_o that_o if_o we_o have_v pray_v unto_o god_n once_o we_o think_v it_o enough_o and_o too_o much_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v that_o moses_n be_v forty_o day_n together_o in_o continual_a mourning_n for_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o people_n therefore_o in_o our_o pray_n unto_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v the_o perseveraunce_n whereunto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n exhort_v we_o 〈…〉_o luk._n 〈…〉_o say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v importunate_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v utter_v our_o grief_n unto_o god_n light_o and_o once_o for_o all_o but_o that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o he_o still_o until_o he_o have_v hear_v our_o request_n now_o then_o here_o be_v a_o second_o lesson_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o place_n which_o be_v that_o in_o pray_v unto_o god_n we_o must_v have_v a_o settledness_n of_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n also_o this_o pray_v of_o mosese_n show_v we_o what_o their_o duty_n be_v which_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o other_o folk_n namely_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o pity_v such_o as_o shall_v have_v offend_v for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o such_o as_o have_v public_a charge_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n to_o the_o worldewarde_n but_o they_o must_v also_o turn_v unto_o god_n we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o must_v not_o only_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 〈…〉_o act._n 〈…〉_o but_o also_o give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n now_o this_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o faithful_a for_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a duty_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v the_o chief_a charge_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v this_o call_n upon_o god_n to_o belong_v chief_o unto_o they_o 〈…〉_o 2._o cor._n 〈…〉_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o humble_v himself_o for_o the_o corinthian_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o chastisement_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v set_v he_o over_o that_o church_n it_o behoove_v he_o to_o bear_v the_o chief_a burden_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n therefore_o such_o as_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o preach_v god_n word_n and_o of_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n must_v not_o only_o employ_v themselves_o that_o way_n but_o also_o to_o prayer_n and_o chief_o when_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v amiss_o and_o disorder_n among_o the_o people_n then_o ought_v they_o most_o special_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o tarry_v not_o till_o the_o people_n resort_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n but_o show_v they_o the_o way_n as_o he_o who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o procure_v their_o welfare_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o prayer_n that_o moses_n make_v lord_n god_n say_v he_o destroy_v not_o the_o people_n of_o thy_o heritage_n who_o thou_o have_v redeem_v by_o thy_o mighty_a power_n &_o strong_a hand_n out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n bethink_v thyself_o of_o thy_o servant_n abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o
