here_o than_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o god_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o punish_v they_o with_o such_o extremity_n

of_o unthankfulness_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v thirty_o day_n for_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n to_o make_v such_o sorrow_n for_o

thereby_o therefore_o when_o as_o the_o heathen_a make_v law_n it_o come_v not_o first_o of_o all_o of_o their_o own_o brayn_n for_o whereas_o they_o make_v fond_a and_o blockish_a law_n therein_o

you_o see_v then_o how_o punishment_n do_v serve_v for_o example_n and_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o double_a lesson_n thereof_o first_o that_o such_o as_o occupy_v the_o room_n of_o justice_n aught_o to_o think_v themselves_o worthy_a of_o blame_n before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n for_o all_o y_fw-mi e_z fault_n which_o they_o let_v

speak_v after_o this_o manner_n he_o mean_v not_o only_o to_o give_v man_n hope_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v bless_v in_o all_o respect_n but_o also_o to_o admonish_v we_o that_o nothing_o let_v we_o from_o enjoy_v a_o sovereign_a and_o perfect_a felicity_n in_o this_o world_n while_o we_o wait_v for_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n but_o only_o that_o we_o be_v wrap_v in_o vice_n and_o corruption_n and_o so_o do_v god_n thereby_o mean_a to_o train_v the_o faithful_a that_o they_o shall_v think_v thus_o with_o themselves_o let_v we_o serve_v god_n and_o we_o shall_v want_v no_o manner_n of_o

not_o as_o we_o will_v let_v we_o understande_v that_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o we_o be_v wretched_a creature_n and_o can_v abide_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n so_o perfect_a as_o it_o may_v be_v among_o we_o by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o withdraw_v his_o hand_n and_o to_o give_v we_o but_o a_o portion_n of_o his_o blessing_n because_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o it_o shall_v glut_v we_o and_o in_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v choke_v therewith_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o god_n do_v here_o so_o great_o magnify_v his_o blessing_n it_o be_v do_v not_o for_o that_o man_n have_v ever_o be_v bless_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o respect_n without_o feel_v of_o any_o evil_a to_o vex_v they_o this_o i_o say_v never_o happen_v and_o wherefore_o then_o do_v god_n promise_v it_o as_o we_o have_v say_v afore_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o understande_v that_o whensoever_o our_o life_n be_v not_o so_o bless_v as_o we_o cover_v we_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n know_v we_o to_o be_v unable_a to_o receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o his_o benefit_n and_o therefore_o be_v fain_o to_o distribute_v they_o unto_o we_o by_o piece_n meal_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o sick_a folk_n or_o little_a child_n which_o for_o want_v of_o discretion_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o

our_o lust_n be_v miserable_o corrupt_v god_n bestow_v his_o blessing_n upon_o we_o sufficient_o but_o we_o like_o sick_a folk_n do_v refuse_v good_a meat_n and_o fall_v to_o foul_a feed_n which_o can_v but_o hurt_v we_o thus_o be_v we_o carry_v away_o by_o our_o wicked_a affection_n and_o be_v never_o able_a to_o direct_v the_o use_n of_o god_n benefit_n nor_o to_o govern_v they_o as_o behove_v for_o we_o will_v infect_v and_o defile_v all_o if_o he_o provide_v not_o for_o it_o aforehande_v let_v we_o mark_v therefore_o that_o god_n do_v here_o warn_v we_o to_o call_v our_o sin_n

at_o the_o first_o blush_n to_o be_v contrary_n for_o god_n seem_v not_o to_o play_v the_o physician_n towards_o we_o when_o we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o lay_v in_o our_o grave_n neither_o

of_o gentleness_n &_o friendship_n to_o be_v short_a the_o two_o thing_n which_o moses_n note_v here_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v well_o namely_o that_o god_n use_v rigour_n towards_o such_o as_o

let_v we_o not_o be_v afraid_a to_o turn_v again_o to_o our_o god_n neither_o let_v we_o think_v that_o he_o have_v quite_o cast_v we_o off_o although_o his_o hand_n be_v sore_o upon_o we_o and_o he_o

reason_n be_v manifest_a why_o god_n do_v first_o kill_v and_o lay_v in_o grave_n before_o he_o restore_v to_o life_n again_o namely_o because_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o submit_v

they_o that_o we_o can_v conceive_v how_o terrible_a god_n justice_n be_v until_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o by_o experience_n therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o y_fw-mi to_o

for_o the_o same_o cause_n he_o add_v that_o no_o man_n can_v deliver_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o know_v how_o man_n do_v always_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o shall_v

before_o his_o death_n be_v not_o mean_v a_o year_n or_o two_o no_o nor_o yet_o a_o month_n but_o at_o his_o death_n time_n even_o when_o he_o be_v to_o die_v and_o these_o blessing_n be_v therefore_o of_o so_o much_o the_o more_o authority_n for_o we_o know_v that_o when_o a_o man_n make_v his_o last_o will_n it_o shall_v be_v better_o receyve_v than_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o speak_v during_o

notwithstanding_o god_n power_n shall_v show_v itself_o therein_o and_o now_o proceed_v with_o this_o lesson_n let_v we_o learn_v first_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o naked_a and_o that_o we_o

here_o we_o have_v to_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v lay_v forth_o already_o more_o at_o length_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n the_o obedientnesse_n of_o moses_n for_o he_o know_v

unto_o it_o when_o he_o see_v it_o be_v god_n will_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o by_o this_o example_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o live_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v always_o have_v one_o foot_n

but_o to_o be_v overcome_v by_o force_n when_o they_o have_v fret_v and_o chafe_v never_o so_o much_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o slender_a discretion_n when_o man_n consider_v not_o that_o as_o god_n

like_o brute_n beast_n if_o we_o have_v not_o such_o consideration_n w_o t_o us._n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o finish_v our_o course_n in_o such_o wise_a walk_v as_o pilgrim_n upon_o earth_n as_o we_o may_v evermore_o be_v ready_a and_o weldisposed_a to_o depart_v from_o it_o whensoever_o god_n show_v we_o that_o our_o hour_n be_v come_v but_o true_o that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v except_o

fain_o continue_v still_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o know_v that_o our_o true_a dwell_a place_n be_v not_o here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o we_o be_v but_o only_o to_o

to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v bold_o follow_v his_o step_n and_o he_o enter_v into_o death_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o resurrection_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o stick_v to_o follow_v the_o lord_n jesus_n because_o that_o if_o we_o die_v with_o he_o we_o be_v sure_a as_o say_v s._n paul_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o life_n 6.8_o rom._n 6.8_o and_o to_o be_v companion_n with_o he_o because_o it_o belong_v unto_o us._n for_o he_o be_v not_o raise_v again_o for_o his_o own_o profit_n but_o for_o the_o assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v

you_o see_v how_o we_o have_v to_o put_v this_o text_n in_o practice_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n go_v uppe_o to_o the_o mountain_n know_v well_o that_o when_o he_o come_v there_o god_n will_v take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o shun_v not_o the_o place_n ne_o madâ—_n any_o resistance_n but_o prepare_v himself_o to_o death_n with_o true_a
