that_o we_o shall_v make_v he_o to_o grant_v all_o our_o desire_n for_o what_o a_o malapertnesse_n be_v that_o and_o what_o a_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o if_o every_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o

of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o presume_v to_o ask_v of_o he_o whatsoever_o come_v in_o our_o head_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n for_o we_o to_o trust_v unto_o in_o go_v to_o it_o so_o without_o advice_n

our_o desire_n to_o follow_v god_n commandment_n than_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o rough_o with_o we_o ne_o overpress_v we_o not_o behold_v god_n can_v rein_v we_o with_o a_o streite_z

we_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n see_v then_o y_z t_z he_o do_v so_o bear_v with_o we_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o do_v as_o he_o appoint_v we_o yes_o so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n commandment_n be_v hard_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o press_v we_o so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v nothing_o near_o for_o if_o god_n list_v to_o use_v his_o right_n with_o extremity_n we_o shall_v be_v torment_v out_o of_o all_o measure_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o that_o he_o use_v more_o than_o fatherly_a goodness_n in_o that_o behalf_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v unpossible_a unto_o we_o 7.14.15_o ro._n 7.14.15_o insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o unable_a to_o observe_v it_o throughout_o but_o also_o if_o a_o man_n will_v of_o his_o own_o natural_a power_n discharge_v himself_o to_o godward_o he_o can_v not_o stir_v one_o finger_n nor_o have_v one_o good_a thought_n to_o know_v which_o way_n to_o begin_v and_o so_o far_o off_o be_v we_o from_o be_v able_a to_o obey_v god_n and_o to_o execute_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o law_n that_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n be_v enmity_n against_o god_n 8.7_o rom._n 8.7_o if_o man_n can_v through_o their_o own_o power_n

be_v unpossible_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o but_o yet_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o god_n to_o print_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n yea_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sweet_a and_o light_a yoke_n unto_o we_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o hardness_n in_o it_o that_o may_v weary_a us._n therefore_o when_o man_n have_v look_v well_o about_o they_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n bear_v with_o they_o as_o a_o father_n that_o pity_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v thankful_a and_o to_o be_v the_o more_o forewarde_n to_o serve_v our_o god_n see_v he_o command_v we_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o aught_o to_o seem_v over_o bitter_a or_o painful_a to_o we_o but_o have_v a_o regard_n of_o our_o

yesterday_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o spiritual_a as_o to_o assemble_v every_o day_n to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o mount_v up_o to_o the_o heavenly_a life_n leave_v all_o
after_o god_n have_v once_o speak_v he_o add_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v and_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v a_o horrible_a blasphemy_n when_o man_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o find_v some_o better_a thing_n than_o be_v contain_v in_o god_n law_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o will_v reprove_v he_o as_o a_o liar_n or_o say_v he_o be_v misaduised_a or_o that_o he_o have_v forget_v what_o he_o shall_v have_v command_v but_o can_v man_n find_v any_o better_a way_n no._n then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a unto_o god_n as_o we_o may_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o when_o god_n have_v once_o speak_v he_o make_v a_o final_a end_n and_o conclusion_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v hold_v you_o there_o these_o be_v my_o bound_n and_o list_n whosoever_o go_v any_o further_a he_o shall_v break_v his_o neck_n so_o as_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o fall_v if_o we_o keep_v not_o the_o right_a way_n which_o god_n have_v make_v and_o hedge_v in_o after_o that_o fashion_n and_o although_o god_n speak_v not_o present_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n as_o he_o do_v then_o yet_o ought_v we_o to_o bethink_v we_o oftentimes_o of_o this_o lesson_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o law_n in_o deed_n god_n speak_v not_o twice_o but_o he_o speak_v once_o for_o all_o as_o they_o say_v we_o on_o our_o part_n ought_v to_o hear_v it_o often_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o threescore_o and_o second_o psalm_n 62.12_o psal._n 62.12_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v once_o

our_o journey_n it_o be_v true_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o our_o lord_n will_v instruct_v we_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o shall_v be_v expedient_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v need_n to_o profit_v more_o and_o more_o in_o god_n word_n therefore_o let_v we_o be_v diligent_a and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v our_o labour_n lose_v when_o we_o take_v y_fw-fr t_o way_n and_o apply_v our_o whole_a stody_n daily_o thereunto_o so_o as_o we_o never_o leave_v search_v and_o seek_v out_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n teach_v

three_o point_n which_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v from_o the_o midst_n of_o fire_n cloud_n and_o whirlwind_n in_o deed_n this_o have_v be_v expound_v already_o heretofore_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v repeat_v by_o moses_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o superfluous_a and_o in_o deed_n it_o can_v be_v tell_v we_o too_o often_o that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o carry_v a_o

bow_v their_o neck_n it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o they_o intend_v to_o resist_v god_n or_o to_o bid_v he_o battle_n but_o whatsoever_o they_o say_v be_v they_o pliable_a 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 affair_n and_o care_n of_o the_o world_n and_o we_o need_v nothing_o to_o hold_v we_o here_o beneath_o therefore_o it_o be_v great_o for_o our_o benefit_n that_o our_o lord_n shall_v touch_v we_o to_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

to_o set_v forth_o his_o law_n for_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v touch_v with_o some_o fear_n so_o as_o they_o may_v say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dally_a with_o

we_o and_o that_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v glorify_v and_o so_o let_v we_o extend_v this_o lesson_n general_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n so_o that_o if_o the_o case_n concern_v religion_n we_o give_v not_o that_o thing_n to_o creature_n which_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o be_v peculiar_a to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o whensoever_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n let_v we_o yield_v

to_o man_n and_o other_o creature_n this_o extend_v very_o far_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o be_v admonish_v in_o fair_a word_n that_o when_o moses_n say_v we_o must_v swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v my_o friend_n like_a as_o you_o worship_v the_o lord_n so_o must_v you_o also_o maintain_v his_o honour_n before_o man_n

of_o affliction_n now_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o god_n afflict_v we_o diverse_a way_n and_o why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o

for_o although_o all_o of_o we_o from_o the_o most_o to_o the_o least_o be_v priest_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n to_o teach_v and_o to_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v and_o therefore_o let_v such_o as_o be_v call_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o god_n word_n understande_v that_o they_o must_v strain_n

levite_n in_o old_a time_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o third_o point_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o levite_n must_v bless_v the_o people_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n the_o word_n bless_v betoken_v to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v god_n howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o matter_n here_o concern_v those_o who_o god_n do_v special_o ordain_v to_o bless_v in_o his_o name_n we_o must_v fetch_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n out_o of_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o number_n notwithstanding_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o moses_n 6.24_o numb_a 6.24_o but_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v more_o express_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v i_o coat_v the_o text_n it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o house_n of_o levy_v shall_v bless_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o say_v the_o lord_n bless_v you_o and_o keep_v you_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v upon_o you_o and_o grant_v you_o his_o mercy_n the_o lord_n turn_v his_o favourable_a face_n towards_o you_o &_o bless_v you_o now_o hereby_o we_o perceive_v that_o it_o behove_v the_o levites_n not_o only_o to_o praise_n god_n as_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o do_v but_o also_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o his_o name_n for_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a thing_n so_o that_o to_o bless_v the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o do_v of_o homage_n unto_o he_o for_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o by_o protest_v ourselves_o to_o hold_v all_o thing_n of_o his_o only_a mere_a goodness_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o so_o as_o without_o he_o we_o be_v miserable_a and_o have_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n in_o we_o furtherforth_o than_o he_o alone_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o it_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o to_o bless_v god_n and_o to_o magnify_v his_o name_n be_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v come_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o only_a mere_a free_a goodness_n now_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o levite_n as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v their_o office_n to_o sing_v 1â—_n 1._o chro._n 1â—_n and_o although_o that_o all_o the_o people_n be_v present_a there_o &_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o

of_o god_n and_o how_o be_v that_o they_o witness_v god_n grace_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o the_o same_o thing_n take_v place_n still_o at_o this_o day_n in_o such_o as_o be_v ordain_v minister_n

which_o to_o do_v there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_v but_o only_o that_o god_n show_v himself_o loving_a and_o favourable_a towards_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o blessing_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o

have_v forbid_v you_o that_o no._n and_o therefore_o this_o law_n must_v concern_v a_o people_n that_o have_v receive_v religion_n afore_o and_o among_o who_o some_o certain_a rule_n be_v set_v down_o and_o establish_v now_o then_o when_o god_n have_v once_o command_v one_o thing_n and_o forbid_a another_o and_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o his_o will_n be_v so_o what_o remain_v more_o for_o we_o but_o to_o frame_v ourselves_o thereafter_o and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o refuse_v his_o yoke_n can_v they_o say_v it_o be_v through_o ignorance_n and_o through_o some_o fond_a devotion_n indeed_o it_o may_v well_o be_v so_o but_o yet_o there_o lie_v another_o crime_n shroud_v underneath_o namely_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n word_n yea_o there_o lurk_v secret_a malice_n hypocrisy_n and_o

let_v we_o mark_v that_o according_o as_o we_o have_v proceed_v in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o he_o show_v his_o will_n unto_o we_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o great_a if_o we_o follow_v not_o whatsoever_o

and_o therefore_o see_v that_o he_o inlighten_v i_o i_o must_v not_o stumble_v i_o must_v not_o play_v the_o blinkarde_n nor_o the_o blind_a bussarde_n but_o i_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o the_o obey_n of_o his_o doctrine_n if_o we_o do_v not_o so_o we_o see_v that_o this_o foresay_a punishment_n belong_v unto_o we_o and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o chastise_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n it_o be_v

express_o say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v those_o thing_n also_o let_v we_o learn_v general_o to_o judge_v of_o god_n will_v according_a to_o his_o teach_n of_o us._n for_o oftentimes_o we_o

not_o depose_v the_o truth_n we_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n command_v this_o ceremony_n namely_o that_o the_o witness_n shall_v be_v the_o first_o in_o ston_a the_o party_n that_o be_v condemn_v to_o death_n by_o y_z e_z judge_n and_o hereby_o they_o be_v all_o do_v to_o understande_v that_o no_o offender_n be_v put_v to_o death_n but_o by_o the_o witness_n of_o such_o as_o have_v prove_v his_o offence_n by_o their_o own_o knowledge_n nevertheless_o god_n will_v also_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o the_o people_n shall_v join_v with_o they_o to_o show_v that_o all_o of_o we_o must_v be_v furtherer_n of_o the_o maintenance_n of_o his_o service_n and_o of_o the_o pure_a religion_n if_o any_o trespass_n have_v be_v commit_v between_o man_n and_o man_n it_o shall_v be_v pursue_v by_o such_o as_o have_v take_v the_o hurt_n or_o loss_n or_o by_o such_o as_o have_v to_o do_v therewith_o or_o else_o some_o common_a solicitor_n shall_v have_v the_o

so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o what_o be_v god_n meaning_n in_o command_v all_o the_o people_n to_o help_v to_o stone_n the_o ydolater_n for_o thereby_o it_o be_v do_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o

to_o be_v soothsayer_n and_o prophet_n but_o that_o be_v altogether_o in_o the_o name_n of_o idol_n according_a to_o the_o city_n wherein_o they_o dwell_v wheresoever_o there_o be_v a_o temple_n there_o be_v a_o jew_n that_o say_v we_o have_v the_o foreknowledge_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v even_o by_o birth_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o sell_v their_o prophecy_n as_o these_o

even_o by_o the_o profane_a history_n when_o they_o be_v once_o become_v idolater_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a unshamefastnesse_n of_o they_o to_o make_v such_o boast_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o

they_o will_v needs_o borrow_v the_o mean_n of_o idolater_n and_o we_o see_v in_o manner_n the_o like_a altogether_o nowadays_o in_o the_o popedom_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o monk_n boast_v themselves_o to_o have_v the_o office_n of_o pray_v for_o y_z e_z whole_a church_n and_o yet_o in_o y_z e_z mean_v while_o they_o will_v sing_v a_o mass_n of_o our_o lady_n and_o a_o mass_n of_o

of_o we_o of_o we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v but_o caryon_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v honour_v of_o we_o as_o of_o his_o child_n nor_o find_v any_o obedience_n at_o

all_o reverence_n heerewithall_o it_o be_v show_v we_o also_o that_o we_o must_v maintain_v our_o neighbour_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v and_o abstain_v from_o all_o violence_n for_o if_o murder_n be_v so_o hateful_a to_o god_n that_o although_o the_o doer_n thereof_o be_v unknowen_a yet_o it_o behove_v a_o solemn_a clear_n thereof_o to_o be_v make_v what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o if_o we_o spare_v not_o our_o neighbour_n be_v it_o not_o a_o set_n of_o ourselves_o utter_o against_o god_n here_o then_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o all_o violence_n and_o

that_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o they_o which_o hate_v their_o brethren_n even_o in_o secret_a be_v murderer_n we_o shall_v beware_v to_o have_v our_o heart_n as_o clean_o as_o our_o hand_n and_o abstain_v from_o all_o hatred_n and_o enmity_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o the_o second_o place_n of_o this_o law_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o not_o to_o have_v step_v out_o into_o any_o injury_n or_o violence_n but_o we_o must_v also_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n be_v a_o let_v to_o the_o annoyance_n that_o be_v do_v to_o other_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o be_v peaceable_a but_o god_n require_v yet_o more_o of_o his_o child_n namely_o that_o they_o shall_v procure_v peace_n towards_o other_o therefore_o whensoever_o any_o man_n fall_v to_o quareling_n or_o offer_v wrong_v to_o his_o neighbour_n let_v we_o look_v that_o we_o set_v ourselves_o against_o he_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v i_o know_v that_o every_o man_n be_v not_o arm_v with_o the_o sword_n neither_o may_v every_o of_o we_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o redress_v wrong_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o god_n permit_v so_o far_o as_o our_o duty_n will_v bear_v and_o as_o occasion_n be_v minister_v to_o deal_v and_o therein_o we_o shall_v

that_o we_o help_v to_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n that_o be_v the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o judge_n and_o minister_n of_o justice_n be_v warn_v here_o to_o do_v their_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o they_o to_o protest_v that_o they_o have_v

therefore_o in_o behold_v what_o the_o state_n of_o man_n be_v in_o this_o present_a life_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o resort_v always_o to_o this_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v not_o only_o create_v

whereas_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n so_o much_o thievery_n in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o few_o that_o have_v clean_a hand_n and_o be_v

be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o add_v now_o that_o god_n will_v judge_v his_o people_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v those_o who_o god_n have_v choose_v must_v not_o think_v to_o have_v a_o privilege_n to_o be_v let_v alone_o unpunished_a in_o their_o offence_n and_o wicked_a do_n it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a for_o therein_o will_v god_n show_v his_o justice._n and_o although_o god_n be_v judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o general_a yet_o will_v he_o be_v know_v to_o be_v so_o chief_o in_o his_o church_n as_o the_o which_o be_v his_o house_n 3.15_o 1._o tim_n 3.15_o and_o it_o be_v good_a

flock_n do_v run_v astray_o he_o must_v needs_o reform_v they_o first_o of_o all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o prophet_n faith_n that_o judgement_n shall_v begin_v at_o god_n house_n which_o thing_n saint_n peter_n allege_v also_o and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a say_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v serve_v we_o to_o great_a purpose_n for_o we_o be_v abash_v when_o we_o

the_o infidel_n which_o belong_v no_o whit_n unto_o he_o it_o seem_v strange_a but_o we_o must_v note_v what_o i_o have_v allege_v afore_o namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n acknowledge_v we_o for_o his_o household_n folk_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o us._n therefore_o when_o he_o see_v we_o go_v astray_o he_o reform_v we_o whereas_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o

of_o the_o holy_a thing_n and_o a_o disfeat_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n therefore_o that_o if_o we_o come_v hither_o to_o sermon_n and_o yet_o

or_o any_o reform_n of_o our_o life_n thereafter_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o god_n word_n be_v not_o name_v a_o guard_n without_o cause_n for_o as_o much_o as_o man_n be_v like_o wretched_a beast_n without_o discretion_n until_o god_n have_v show_v they_o how_o they_o ought_v to_o walk_v you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o be_v our_o guard_n or_o defence_n

again_o let_v they_o observe_v it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v neither_o keep_v god_n word_n nor_o do_v it_o until_o he_o have_v write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o moses_n presuppose_v that_o god_n will_v shed_v out_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o the_o people_n so_o they_o shut_v not_o the_o door_n against_o he_o but_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v the_o grace_n which_o our_o lord_n

be_v bring_v unto_o us._n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o moses_n treat_v here_o of_o the_o keep_n of_o god_n word_n god_n also_o do_v bind_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n with_o

nay_o rather_o we_o drag_v back_o from_o that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o righteousness_n and_o upright_o deal_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o bow_v we_o and_o to_o give_v we_o such_o teachablenesse_n as_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o moreover_o when_o he_o have_v grant_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o have_v such_o zeal_n and_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
