to_o be_v slay_v at_o this_o passeover_n but_o in_o his_o own_o family_n he_o kill_v his_o own_o lamb_n and_o enjoin_v the_o people_n from_o god_n to_o do_v the_o like_a in_o they_o the_o like_a

this_o place_n now_o in_o this_o that_o moses_n do_v in_o this_o manner_n celebrate_v this_o passover_o we_o be_v teach_v this_o lesson_n that_o governor_n and_o superior_n in_o their_o place_n must_v

and_o other_o particular_a man_n of_o other_o calling_n sure_o thus_o he_o must_v do_v those_o in_o his_o own_o person_n that_o concern_v he_o in_o his_o place_n and_o then_o see_v that_o his_o subject_n and_o servant_n do_v likewise_o such_o duty_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o man_n as_o concern_v they_o in_o their_o place_n this_o be_v a_o special_a point_n concern_v all_o magistrate_n

he_o see_v that_o the_o people_n do_v it_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v negligent_a in_o his_o duty_n he_o become_v the_o great_a sinner_n of_o all_o for_o then_o the_o

it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o in_o egypt_n at_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o first_o passover_o moses_n keep_v it_o himself_o &_o command_v every_o master_n of_o a_o family_n among_o the_o israelite_n to_o do_v the_o same_o &_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o at_o the_o first_o institution_n the_o passeover_n be_v both_o a_o sign_n and_o a_o mean_n of_o a_o temporal_a deliverance_n beside_o the_o spiritual_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n then_o why_o all_o the_o israelite_n shall_v eat_v the_o passeover_n and_o none_o be_v put_v back_o because_o all_o of_o they_o be_v to_o escape_v the_o temporal_a punishment_n which_o god_n be_v to_o inflict_v upon_o the_o egyptian_n but_o afterward_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o law_n that_o if_o any_o be_v

must_v learn_v to_o follow_v this_o notable_a practice_n of_o these_o godly_a patriarch_n and_o look_v what_o mean_v they_o use_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o faith_n the_o same_o also_o must_v

how_o they_o take_v they_o kind_o namely_o by_o do_v 2._o thing_n 1._o by_o a_o action_n of_o their_o heart_n 2._o by_o a_o action_n of_o their_o life_n the_o action_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v this_o that_o howsoever_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o accomplish_v in_o their_o day_n yet_o they_o be_v wonderful_o glad_a thereof_o for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n your_o father_n

sarah_n isaac_n and_o jaacob_n that_o their_o heart_n be_v also_o ravish_v with_o joy_n to_o hear_v the_o wonderful_a promise_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o messiah_n and_o to_o think_v of_o the_o most_o joyful_a performance_n which_o they_o know_v shall_v follow_v in_o due_a time_n second_o they_o take_v this_o promise_n kind_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o their_o life_n for_o when_o they_o come_v to_o any_o strange_a place_n as_o we_o may_v often_o read_v in_o the_o story_n there_o they_o build_v up_o altar_n 33.10_o &_o offer_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n and_o call_v on_o his_o name_n all_o which_o they_o do_v to_o testify_v their_o inward_a joy_n &_o thankful_a acceptance_n of_o god_n promise_n in_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o promise_a land_n though_o neither_o be_v accomplish_v

we_o nay_o we_o have_v the_o same_o already_o accomplish_v &_o we_o see_v the_o same_o verify_v more_o evident_o and_o plain_o than_o any_o of_o the_o patriarch_n do_v which_o be_v true_a our_o duty_n be_v to_o take_v the_o same_o much_o more_o thankful_o and_o kind_o at_o god_n hand_n than_o they_o do_v or_o can_v do_v because_o we_o have_v more_o light_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n than_o ever_o the_o patriarch_n have_v but_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o bewail_v the_o day_n and_o time_n wherein_o we_o live_v for_o whereas_o we_o shall_v take_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n most_o joyful_o and_o kind_o the_o case_n be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o general_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o our_o nation_n and_o people_n that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n we_o be_v a_o unkind_a people_n and_o that_o this_o be_v true_a for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o all_o of_o we_o if_o we●_n will_v but_o a_o little_a examine_v the_o matter_n we_o shall_v

and_o drowsy_a so_o as_o the_o word_n seem_v loathsome_a unto_o we_o &_o one_o hour_n be_v so_o tedious_a as_o we_o hardly_o hold_v it_o out_o without_o sleep_v and_o if_o it_o pass_v the_o hour_n a_o

godly_a patriarch_n have_v so_o that_o we_o be_v both_o hard_a heart_a &_o unkind_a &_o altogether_o insensible_a of_o so_o great_a favour_n of_o our_o god_n towards_o us._n second_o consider_v man_n behaviour_n in_o god_n worship_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o people_n worship_n god_n but_o in_o formal_a show_n for_o fashion_n sake_n these_o godly_a patriarch_n abraham_n etc._n etc._n build_v altar_n in_o every_o place_n where_o they_o come_v and_o offer_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n to_o signify_v their_o kindness_n &_o willing_a heart_n towards_o god_n for_o his_o

and_o order_n which_o must_v be_v keep_v for_o proof_n thereof_o take_v some_o one_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n &_o ask_v he_o why_o he_o come_v into_o the_o congregation_n he_o will_v say_v he_o come_v to_o do_v as_o other_o man_n do_v but_o what_o they_o do_v he_o know_v not_o or_o what_o he_o himself_o ought_v to_o do_v he_o can_v tell_v nor_o care_v much_o to_o know_v other_o also_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n but_o ask_v they_o how_o they_o do_v it_o they_o will_v say_v by_o say_v over_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o the_o belief_n but_o if_o the_o word_n be_v either_o preach_v or_o read_v they_o regard_v it_o not_o think_v that_o all_o god_n worship_n stand_v in_o the_o repeat_n of_o those_o three_o thing_n which_o show_v that_o they_o worship_n god_n but_o for_o fashion_n sake_n and_o with_o little_a more_o than_o a_o plain_a lip-labour_n another_o sort_n there_o be_v which_o come_v near_o to_o god_n with_o their_o lip_n but_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o for_o though_o their_o body_n be_v present_a in_o the_o congregation_n yet_o their_o heart_n be_v wander_v about_o their_o worldly_a business_n or_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o we_o may_v true_o say_v god_n be_v not_o worship_v with_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v a_o unkind_a people_n and_o quite_o degenerate_a from_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o

the_o altar_n to_o kill_v he_o for_o though_o abraham_n have_v a_o commandment_n to_o kill_v isaac_n yet_o we_o find_v not_o that_o god_n command_v isaac_n to_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v kill_v now_o nature_n move_v every_o one_o to_o seek_v to_o save_v his_o own_o life_n and_o to_o resist_v such_o as_o will_v kill_v us._n how_o then_o be_v isaac_n bring_v to_o yield_v thus_o far_o to_o his_o father_n for_o answer_v hereunto_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o abraham_n be_v no_o ordinary_a man_n but_o a_o prophet_n and_o that_o a_o excellent_a and_o extraordinary_a prophet_n so_o god_n himself_o testify_v of_o he_o to_o abimelech_n he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o he_o shall_v pray_v for_o thou_o 20.7_o yea_o he_o be_v esteem_v and_o reverence_v as_o a_o prophet_n &_o a_o honourable_a man_n even_o of_o the_o heathen_a the_o hittite_n tell_v he_o thou_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o god_n among_o us._n genesis_n 23.6_o now_o be_v a_o man_n of_o so_o high_a place_n and_o so_o great_a regard_n even_o in_o the_o world_n doubtless_o he_o be_v of_o much_o more_o authority_n in_o his_o own_o house_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o likely_a that_o he_o tell_v isaac_n his_o son_n that_o he_o have_v a_o special_a commandment_n from_o god_n to_o kill_v he_o in_o sacrifice_n now_o isaac_n be_v a_o holy_a man_n and_o well_o bring_v up_o hear_v this_o be_v content_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o obey_v his_o father_n herein_o this_o i_o speak_v not_o as_o certain_a but_o as_o most_o probable_a and_o it_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o best_a learned_a who_o have_v have_v good_a experience_n in_o the_o scripture_n this_o circumstance_n well_o observe_v serve_v great_o for_o the_o commendation_n of_o they_o both_o of_o abraham_n the_o father_n that_o have_v so_o religious_o bring_v up_o his_o only_a son_n that_o be_v most_o dear_a unto_o he_o that_o he_o will_v not_o resist_v the_o will_n of_o god_n reveal_v unto_o he_o though_o it_o cost_v he_o his_o life_n oh_o that_o parent_n will_v follow_v abraham_n in_o so_o do_v to_o their_o child_n then_o will_v it_o go_v well_o with_o the_o church_n of_o god._n again_o isaac_n behaviour_n be_v here_o admirable_a that_o he_o will_v not_o resist_v his_o weak_a and_o age_a father_n but_o suffer_v he_o to_o bind_v he_o and_o to_o lay_v he_o on_o the_o altar_n yield_v himself_o unto_o death_n when_o his_o father_n tell_v he_o my_o son_n god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o this_o example_n must_v be_v a_o pattern_n of_o obedience_n not_o only_o for_o child_n towards_o their_o parent_n but_o for_o we_o all_o towards_o god_n minister_n when_o they_o shall_v tell_v we_o what_o god_n will_v have_v we_o do_v we_o must_v submit_v ourselves_o and_o yield_v though_o it_o turn_v to_o our_o bodily_a pain_n and_o grief_n for_o isaac_n yield_v though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o life_n but_o alas_o who_o will_v follow_v isaac_n for_o let_v the_o minister_n speak_v against_o our_o carnal_a pleasure_n and_o unlawful_a gain_n let_v he_o cross_v our_o humour_n and_o affection_n than_o we_o refuse_v to_o hear_v and_o will_v not_o obey_v nay_o if_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n as_o the_o lord_n priest_n come_v with_o the_o sacrifice_a knife_n of_o god_n word_n to_o the_o throat_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o kill_v the_o same_o in_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v pure_a and_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n do_v we_o not_o resist_v he_o and_o say_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o will_v none_o of_o this_o doctrine_n or_o if_o he_o like_o a_o prophet_n of_o god_n come_v and_o offer_v to_o bind_v our_o conscience_n with_o the_o cord_n of_o obedience_n and_o to_o lay_v our_o affection_n on_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o law_n then_o we_o resist_v and_o be_v either_o too_o young_a or_o too_o old_a too_o rich_a or_o too_o learned_a or_o too_o great_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o bind_v to_o obedience_n but_o let_v we_o know_v that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v true_a isaac_n even_o the_o son_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n and_o the_o true_a heir_n of_o abraham_n faith_n as_o we_o will_v bear_v the_o world_n in_o hand_n then_o as_o he_o do_v submit_v himself_o to_o be_v bind_v of_o his_o father_n so_o must_v we_o yield_v ourselves_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o be_v bind_v by_o his_o word_n and_o suffer_v the_o same_o word_n to_o be_v in_o we_o the_o two_o edge_a sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o cut_v down_o sin_n and_o corruption_n in_o we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o new_a creature_n that_o so_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n we_o may_v become_v pure_a and_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o our_o god_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o fact_n itself_o wherein_o abraham_n faith_n be_v set_v forth_o now_o follow_v the_o argument_n or_o reason_n whereby_o the_o same_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v commend_v unto_o us._n the_o first_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o great_a impediment_n which_o may_v hinder_v his_o faith_n and_o they_o be_v in_o number_n three_o first_o that_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o this_o work_n not_o by_o ordinary_a command_n but_o by_o a_o extraordinary_a course_n in_o temptation_n be_v tempt_v second_o that_o he_o be_v to_o offer_v his_o own_o child_n yea_o his_o only_a beget_v son_n three_o that_o he_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n must_v offer_v he_o and_o kill_v he_o in_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v for_o the_o first_o impediment_n in_o the_o ordinary_a translation_n it_o be_v read_v thus_o when_o he_o be_v try_v but_o that_o be_v not_o so_o fit_a be_v rather_o a_o exposition_n of_o the_o meaning_n than_o a_o translation_n of_o the_o word_n for_o the_o very_a word_n signify_v to_o be_v tempt_v and_o the_o meaning_n be_v when_o he_o be_v try_v i_o will_v therefore_o rather_o read_v it_o thus_o when_o he_o be_v tempt_v or_o be_v tempt_v as_o the_o word_n signify_v in_o the_o handle_n hereof_o first_o we_o will_v entreat_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o temptation_n and_o then_o come_v to_o the_o circumstance_n belong_v to_o the_o same_o temptation_n as_o it_o be_v here_o use_v may_v be_v thus_o describe_v it_o be_v a_o action_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o prove_v and_o make_v experience_n of_o the_o loyalty_n and_o obedience_n of_o his_o servant_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o action_n of_o god_n this_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o testimony_n of_o moses_n in_o genesis_n gen._n 22.1_o where_o if_o we_o read_v the_o history_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n do_v prove_v abraham_n object_n but_o against_o this_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o saint_n james_n say_v james_n 1.13_o god_n tempt_v no_o man_n and_o therefore_o no_o temptation_n be_v the_o action_n of_o god_n answ._n that_o place_n in_o james_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v god_n tempt_v no_o man_n that_o be_v god_n do_v not_o stir_v up_o or_o move_v any_o man_n heart_n to_o sin_n yet_o further_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o temptation_n be_v a_o action_n of_o satan_n for_o so_o in_o the_o gospel_n we_o may_v read_v mat._n 4.3_o that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o tempter_n answ._n some_o temptation_n be_v the_o action_n of_o god_n and_o some_o the_o action_n of_o satan_n god_n tempt_v and_o satan_n tempt_v but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n in_o their_o temptation_n first_o in_o the_o manner_n for_o satan_n tempt_v a_o man_n to_o sin_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o to_o do_v some_o evil_n god_n tempt_v a_o man_n to_o do_v something_o which_o shall_v be_v only_o against_o his_o own_o affection_n or_o his_o reason_n second_o god_n tempt_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o servant_n but_o satan_n tempt_v for_o the_o destruction_n both_o of_o their_o body_n and_o soul_n again_o i_o say_v whereby_o he_o make_v trial_n etc._n etc._n here_o some_o will_v say_v god_n know_v every_o man_n heart_n and_o what_o be_v in_o they_o and_o what_o they_o will_v do_v long_v before_o and_o therefore_o he_o need_v not_o to_o make_v trial_n of_o any_o man_n answ._n god_n make_v trial_n of_o his_o servant_n not_o because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n for_o he_o understandeth_v their_o thought_n long_o before_o but_o because_o he_o will_v have_v their_o obedience_n make_v know_v partly_o to_o themselves_o and_o partly_o to_o the_o world_n so_o that_o he_o make_v trial_n of_o his_o servant_n
