how_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o use_n namely_o that_o the_o judgement_n and_o authority_n be_v go_n for_o if_o we_o do_v so_o we_o may_v well_o see_v many_o contrariety_n

though_o the_o devil_n trouble_v and_o turmoil_n all_o thing_n upsidedowne_v and_o stir_v up_o never_o so_o much_o strife_n and_o contention_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v put_v the_o

good_a will_n as_o i_o have_v show_v afore_o now_o it_o follow_v that_o moses_n speak_v unto_o the_o people_n &_o that_o the_o people_n will_v not_o follow_v his_o advice_n but_o be_v disobedien_n to_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n have_v be_v expound_v already_o heretofore_o but_o here_o we_o see_v yet_o more_o clear_o the_o proof_n of_o y_z t_z which_o have_v be_v

now_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o word_n receive_v with_o it_o like_o humility_n when_o he_o send_v man_n to_o declare_v his_o commandment_n as_o if_o he_o himself_o be_v

person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o hear_v how_o christ_n protest_v that_o he_o will_v not_o henceforth_o call_v we_o his_o servant_n but_o his_o friend_n 15.15_o john_n 15.15_o because_o he_o have_v impart_v himself_o unto_o we_o so_o familiar_o i_o pray_v you_o must_v not_o the_o devil_n needs_o have_v bewitch_v we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o move_v to_o yield_v ourselves_o

if_o we_o find_v any_o slothfulness_n in_o we_o if_o we_o be_v fall_v too_o fast_o a_o sleep_n in_o this_o world_n then_o to_o waken_v we_o up_o and_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o magnify_v god_n let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o covenant_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v make_v with_o us._n now_o hereupon_o moses_n add_v it_o be_v not_o with_o your_o father_n that_o god_n make_v the_o covenant_n but_o with_o we_o even_o with_o we_o that_o be_v all_o alive_a at_o this_o day_n this_o sentence_n may_v have_v a_o double_a understanding_n for_o it_o may_v be_v take_v as_o though_o moses_n make_v a_o

god_n speak_v there_o to_o moses_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o manifest_v himself_o so_o plain_o to_o be_v god_n unto_o abraham_n isaak_n and_o jacob_n as_o he_o do_v command_v to_o be_v do_v by_o moses_n hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o people_n ought_v to_o be_v y_z e_z more_o attentive_a as_o now_o because_o god_n reveil_v himself_o to_o they_o after_o a_o unaccustomed_a manner_n and_o so_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n may_v be_v that_o god_n make_v not_o the_o like_a covenant_n with_o our_o father_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n speak_v to_o his_o servant_n abraham_n isaak_n

say_v that_o he_o have_v god_n law_n well_o print_v in_o his_o heart_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v a_o benefit_n not_o to_o be_v hold_v scorn_n of_o when_o god_n send_v his_o law_n to_o

and_o meek_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o they_o come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o again_o there_o be_v a_o blockishness_n in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o dote_v upon_o these_o worldly_a thing_n we_o can_v raise_v up_o our_o wit_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o that_o spiritual_a wisdom_n because_o our_o wit_n be_v occupy_v afore_o hand_n about_o the_o

the_o quick_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v yield_v such_o reverence_n to_o his_o word_n as_o it_o may_v not_o die_v partly_o through_o our_o stubbornness_n and_o partly_o through_o our_o

for_o his_o people_n advaunce_v we_o to_o such_o dignity_n as_o to_o be_v of_o his_o household_n and_o church_n now_o when_o he_o have_v so_o begin_v he_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o hold_v out_o still_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

that_o a_o man_n shall_v continue_v sigh_v and_o weep_v before_o god_n forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n together_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o moses_n by_o miracle_n like_v as_o be_v his_o fast_n of_o forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n before_o and_o to_o what_o purpose_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v the_o better_o authorize_v thereby_o for_o 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

that_o we_o must_v mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o moses_n forbear_v meat_n and_o drink_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n together_o it_o be_v not_o do_v by_o human_a power_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o speak_v proper_o a_o fast_o of_o sobriety_n for_o he_o be_v exempt_v from_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n but_o it_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v receive_v with_o the_o

for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n that_o god_n will_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o idolatry_n that_o have_v be_v commit_v but_o hold_v on_o still_o in_o his_o own_o purpose_n for_o although_o moses_n

put_v in_o mind_n that_o if_o god_n forgive_v we_o any_o fall_n or_o offence_n we_o must_v not_o so_o forget_v it_o but_o we_o must_v bethink_v ourselves_o to_o live_v in_o the_o great_a awe_n and_o 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 their_o mouth_n when_o they_o will_v have_v their_o fault_n forgive_v they_o and_o they_o never_o pass_v to_o think_v any_o more_o upon_o they_o to_o yield_v god_n his_o deserve_a praise_n 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
stubbornness_n of_o this_o people_n nor_o to_o their_o wickedness_n nor_o to_o their_o offence_n here_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o moses_n allege_v unto_o god_n namely_o his_o gracious_a favour_n wherethrough_a he_o have_v choose_v the_o offspring_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o a_o good_a rule_n for_o we_o to_o keep_v in_o pray_v unto_o god_n which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o obtain_v our_o request_n at_o his_o hand_n we_o must_v not_o presume_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o but_o rather_o allege_v his_o own_o goodness_n which_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v lord_n go_v forward_o with_o thy_o work_n thou_o have_v begin_v to_o call_v we_o to_o thou_o we_o be_v as_o much_o behold_v to_o thy_o

the_o holy_a scripture_n now_o whereas_o moses_n say_v thy_o people_n and_o thy_o inheritance_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o the_o people_n have_v purchase_v that_o dignity_n themselves_o it_o be_v a_o

that_o be_v the_o matter_n which_o moses_n mean_v to_o show_v here_o now_o in_o the_o end_n he_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o fill_n and_o be_v well_o maintain_v when_o they_o shall_v have_v keep_v god_n commandment_n after_o that_o fashion_n we_o have_v two_o point_n to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n for_o a_o conclusion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n tell_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v not_o bare_o give_v they_o whatsoever_o be_v needful_a for_o they_o but_o also_o give_v they_o their_o fill_n of_o his_o benefit_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v thorough_o satisfy_v with_o they_o that_o be_v for_o the_o one_o the_o second_o be_v a_o come_n back_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v touch_v already_o namely_o that_o although_o god_n speak_v but_o of_o temporal_a good_n such_o as_o concern_v but_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o he_o lead_v they_o further_o thereby_o first_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n not_o only_o give_v and_o bestow_v upon_o we_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o but_o also_o in_o large_v and_o extend_v his_o riches_n yet_o further_o by_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o overmeasure_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o natural_a necessity_n what_o need_v we_o more_o than_o bread_n and_o water_n but_o god_n add_v wine_n to_o comfort_n and_o glad_a man_n heart_n 104.15_o 〈◊〉_d 104.15_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n again_o we_o see_v he_o voutsafe_v to_o pleasure_v we_o after_o all_o sort_n by_o send_v we_o so_o many_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o delight_v we_o withal_o which_o be_v all_o witness_n of_o his_o liberality_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o not_o only_o provide_v we_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v not_o forbear_v but_o also_o add_v as_o a_o overplus_n a_o great_a number_n of_o good_a thing_n that_o serve_v for_o our_o pleasure_n whereby_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o love_v he_o and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o wing_n to_o we_o wherewith_o to_o fly_v unto_o he_o but_o contrariwise_o if_o god_n give_v we_o store_n we_o can_v forbear_v to_o pamper_v

without_o wit_n &_o reason_n but_o also_o of_o all_o such_o as_o be_v in_o love_n with_o their_o delicate_n and_o delight_n so_o as_o if_o they_o have_v abundance_n more_o than_o ordinary_a they_o can_v hold_v themselves_o within_o any_o measure_n but_o thereupon_o do_v fall_v asleep_a and_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v provoke_v to_o resort_v unto_o god_n do_v run_v away_o from_o he_o or_o rather_o

for_o as_o much_o as_o man_n be_v natural_o give_v to_o superstition_n &_o seem_v to_o seek_v even_o wilful_o to_o be_v beguile_v god_n here_o do_v first_o withdraw_v we_o from_o all_o error_n and_o

to_o make_v our_o profit_n of_o it_o therefore_o see_v that_o you_o obey_v wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o god_n have_v allure_v we_o to_o he_o so_o gentle_o and_o after_o so_o fatherly_a

but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o condemn_v himself_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o make_v comparison_n betwixt_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n

whereas_o he_o say_v that_o all_o case_n shall_v be_v establish_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n it_o be_v our_o lord_n will_v to_o speak_v here_o general_o do_v we_o to_o

in_o the_o psalm_n shall_v come_v up_o before_o he_o 56.7_o psal._n 56.7_o for_o david_n say_v that_o the_o tear_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v put_v up_o as_o it_o be_v into_o bottle_n as_o man_n put_v

to_o go_v into_o the_o second_o life_n which_o he_o promise_v us._n see_v that_o this_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o law_n we_o ought_v the_o more_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o thereof_o nowadays_o for_o we_o have_v the_o holy_a scripture_n more_o at_o large_a we_o have_v the_o heavenly_a life_n show_v unto_o we_o much_o more_o apparent_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o it_o be_v show_v to_o the_o

that_o when_o god_n gather_v we_o to_o he_o by_o death_n we_o cease_v not_o to_o live_v still_o to_o himwarde_n although_o a_o man_n body_n rot_v away_o and_o become_v a_o carrion_n like_o the_o

if_o one_o strike_v another_o man_n well_o he_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o it_o but_o if_o he_o beat_v his_o father_n or_o his_o mother_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v kill_v a_o man_n else_o there_o be_v no_o order_n or_o reason_n in_o nature_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ground_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o nature_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v confound_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o when_o he_o set_v himself_o so_o against_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o hold_v

we_o will_v now_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o if_o the_o disobedience_n which_o be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n of_o this_o world_n be_v so_o grievous_o punish_v by_o god_n law_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o man_n when_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n true_a it_o be_v that_o here_o god_n speak_v of_o the_o correction_n which_o proceed_v from_o himself_o for_o when_o a_o man_n nurture_v his_o child_n he_o be_v god_n minister_n in_o that_o behalf_n and_o his_o voice_n be_v not_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n but_o of_o

church_n where_o god_n word_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o and_o god_n have_v dedicate_v that_o place_n and_o the_o pulpit_n to_o deliver_v out_o his_o word_n to_o be_v hear_v as_o though_o he_o be_v there_o in_o his_o own_o person_n see_v then_o that_o god_n word_n be_v so_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o so_o preach_v unto_o we_o be_v they_o not_o to_o be_v reject_v as_o monster_n and_o in_o no_o wise_a to_o be_v suffer_v which_o disobey_v the_o same_o and_o make_v no_o account_n of_o it_o and_o if_o man_n bear_v with_o they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o procure_n of_o

that_o every_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o provide_v for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o his_o neighbour_n life_n yet_o have_v we_o another_o good_a lesson_n to_o gather_v here_o namely_o that_o god_n descend_v hither_o unto_o we_o and_o show_v that_o he_o have_v his_o eye_n upon_o our_o life_n and_o that_o he_o intend_v to_o be_v the_o defender_n thereof_o now_o since_o we_o see_v this_o have_v we_o not_o a_o singular_a record_n of_o his_o goodness_n you_o see_v how_o our_o body_n be_v but_o carrion_n and_o yet_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o maintain_v they_o and_o give_v we_o here_o a_o commandment_n to_o

we_o to_o the_o quick_a and_o to_o make_v we_o to_o magnify_v the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n and_o furthermore_o when_o we_o know_v this_o goodness_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o this_o world_n let_v we_o mount_v up_o one_o step_n high_o and_o not_o doubt_v but_o he_o have_v a_o far_o great_a care_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o he_o show_v by_o experience_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o rest_v bold_o upon_o he_o and_o not_o doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v be_v preserve_v if_o we_o abide_v under_o his_o protection_n and_o play_v not_o the_o loose_a coulte_n but_o

they_o and_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o their_o family_n when_o we_o see_v this_o let_v we_o desire_v much_o rather_o to_o be_v bless_v in_o this_o sort_n of_o our_o god_n than_o to_o have_v all_o

we_o to_o invent_v what_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o but_o that_o that_o matter_n lie_v simple_o in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o ordeyn_v aught_o to_o be_v hold_v and_o

to_o be_v small_a thing_n be_v reserve_v unto_o god_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o world_n to_o add_v any_o thing_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o pin_n point_n unto_o they_o but_o that_o the_o builder_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n and_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o priestly_a garment_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n see_v that_o god_n declare_v thereby_o that_o he_o

we_o be_v then_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v this_o horrible_a disorder_n throughout_o all_o the_o popedom_n therefore_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o utter_v defile_v
