learn_v not_o to_o be_v over_o effeminate_a and_o that_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o exercise_v we_o in_o what_o sect_n soever_o to_o be_v tractable_a to_o be_v lead_v to_o ●im_v

afrer_n tri_v we_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o any_o whit_n strange_a for_o we_o serve_v he_o not_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o after_o he_o have_v rough_o handle_v we_o for_o a_o day_n o●_n a_o year_n we_o may_v by_o and_o by_o be_v discharge_v and_o so_o crave_v a_o paspot_n but_o contrariwise_o to_o harden_v we_o because_o god_n cease_v not_o continual_o to_o send_v such_o proof_n to_o try_v our_o faith_n withal_o but_o the_o s●me_n shall_v be_v i_o say_v as_o a_o habit_n unto_o we_o because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o old_a beat_a soldier_n can_v abide_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o pain_n than_o a_o young_a fresh_a water_n soldier_n as_o we_o say_v for_o a_o young_a novice_n know_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v ●he_n will_v be_v weary_a with_o one_o night_n watch_n he_o be_v not_o

be_v far_o betterable_a to_o endure_v these_o thing_n even_o so_o must_v it_o fare_v with_o we_o that_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v exercise_v we_o every_o manner_n of_o way_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o able_a and_o ready_a the_o better_a and_o long_o to_o continue_v and_o although_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o we_o that_o god_n deal_v very_o severe_o with_o we_o in_o lay_v too_o great_a load_n upon_o we_o yet_o let_v not_o we_o think_v our_o case_n to_o be_v strange_a and_o why_o so_o because_o we_o see_v here_o a_o pattern_n thereof_o in_o our_o father_n abraham_n unto_o who_o we_o must_v be_v configure_v now_o as_o concern_v this_o word_n tempt_v we_o know_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o when_o it_o be_v attribute_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o he_o tempt_v we_o to_o lead_v we_o to_o do_v ill_a for_o we_o be_v of_o of_o ourselves_o thereunto_o overmuch_o incline_v and_o as_o s._n james_n say_v every_o man_n be_v tempt_v of_o his_o own_o concupiscence_n 1.14_o james_n 1.14_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v after_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o fault_n any_o where_o else_o but_o in_o ourselves_o wherefore_o god_n tempt_v we_o not_o so_o as_o to_o say_v that_o the_o salt_n be_v in_o he_o and_o that_o we_o may_v impute_v the_o evil_a which_o we_o commit_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o he_o be_v author_n thereof_o but_o god_n tempt_v those_o that_o be_v he_o to_o sound_v they_o and_o therefore_o this_o word_n import_v to_o examine_v to_o prove_v not_o that_o he_o need_v to_o inquire_v what_o be_v in_o we_o thought_n god_n see_v our_o thought_n for_o we_o know_v that_o nothing_o be_v unknow_v to_o he_o the_o book_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o open_a but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o god_n know_v and_o judge_v that_o which_o he_o will_v make_v manifest_a at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v no_o need_n to_o sound_v and_o try_v we_o faith_n affliction_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o trial_n of_o out_o faith_n for_o he_o do_v that_o that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o this_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o probation_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o gift_n to_o be_v unprofitable_a but_o will_v apply_v they_o to_o some_o use_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v thereby_o be_v glorify_v and_o we_o thereby_o also_o so_o much_o the_o better_o be_v confirm_v consider_v how_o wonderful_o he_o regard_v we_o and_o will_v have_v we_o with_o patience_n fight_v against_o all_o the_o assalt_v of_o satan_n &_o of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o thereby_o may_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o god_n be_v with_o we_o and_o love_v we_o wherefore_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n the_o more_o confident_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o to_o run_v unto_o he_o and_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o goodness_n and_o not_o to_o doubt_v of_o his_o help_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n salvation_n god_n tri_v we_o by_o affliction_n both_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o also_o for_o our_o salvation_n thus_o we_o see_v then_o in_o sum_n why_o god_n tri_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o gift_n which_o he_o bestow_v on_o we_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o serve_v he_o to_o the_o end_n all_o man_n may_v know_v his_o power_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v as_o he_o deserve_v but_o it_o be_v chief_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v know_v his_o fatherly_a goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o stir_v up_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o full_o and_o whole_o dedicate_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o and_o withal_o to_o trust_v altogether_o in_o he_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o abraham_n be_v tempt_v and_o so_o be_v also_o all_o the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n at_o this_o day_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v live_v at_o ease_n and_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n cost_v we_o nothing_o what_o proof_n shall_v there_o be_v of_o our_o faith_n moreover_o which_o way_n shall_v the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n and_o such_o as_o serve_v he_o in_o simplicity_n of_o heart_n be_v discern_v from_o hypocrite_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v try_v by_o temptation_n even_o as_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v try_v in_o the_o furnaise_n see_v also_o why_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o faith_n shall_v be_v try_v 6_o 1._o pet._n ●1_n 6_o now_o because_o gold_n &_o silver_n be_v precious_a thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o meet_v they_o shall_v be_v try_v by_o the_o fire_n and_o yet_o be_v but_o these_o corruptible_a metal_n &_o shall_v our_o faith_n which_o be_v far_o more_o excellent_a

to_o we_o unknowen_a we_o see_v then_o why_o temptation_n shall_v not_o seem_v bitter_a but_o rather_o sweet_a unto_o we_o because_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n appli_v they_o unto_o our_o salvation_n

of_o this_o doctrine_n at_o this_o day_n as_o ever_o we_o have_v for_o general_o if_o we_o make_v profession_n of_o christianity_n we_o must_v look_v to_o be_v eseem_v as_o heretic_n and_o dog_n and_o to_o have_v the_o world_n judge_v we_o to_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o innovation_n and_o trouble_n and_o to_o be_v very_a rebel_n and_o that_o we_o have_v forsake_v god_n and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o we_o be_v far_o worse_o than_o apostate_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o papist_n speak_v daily_a of_o us._n now_o if_o we_o be_v so_o effeminate_a and_o have_v such_o itch_a ear_n as_o we_o see_v a_o great_a many_o that_o will_v fain_o keep_v themselves_o in_o their_o good_a reputation_n without_o doubt_n we_o shall_v cunning_o daub_v and_o smooth_a over_o every_o thing_n and_o so_o in_o the_o end_n forsake_v god_n wherefore_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o right_o to_o meditate_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n to_o wit_n we_o must_v not_o care_v what_o reputation_n we_o have_v with_o man_n so_o that_o we_o be_v approve_v before_o god_n we_o may_v also_o come_v to_o particular_n as_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v walk_v in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o his_o heart_n godly_a and_o honest_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o fall_n a_o scoff_a at_o he_o you_o shall_v have_v other_o some_o call_v he_o hypocrite_n and_o another_o sort_n will_v say_v that_o he_o do_v it_o for_o gain_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n by_o these_o subtle_a practice_n go_v about_o to_o make_v we_o become_v dissolute_a wherefore_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v so_o to_o apply_v all_o our_o sense_n unto_o god_n as_o that_o although_o man_n never_o so_o unjust_o blame_v we_o yet_o let_v not_o we_o be_v move_v once_o to_o bend_v or_o yield_v but_o have_v a_o eye_n always_o unto_o the_o way_n that_o be_v set_v before_o us._n we_o see_v also_o what_o collection_n we_o be_v to_o make_v hereof_o what_o a_o strong_a faith_n abraham_n have_v when_o he_o be_v thus_o qualify_v for_o he_o premeditate_v these_o thing_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v at_o his_o ease_n for_o if_o we_o be_v any_o whit_n passion_v &_o then_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o do_v good_a yet_o shall_v our_o mind_n many_o time_n be_v carry_v

magnanimity_n that_o when_o they_o be_v perplex_v they_o will_v not_o go_v so_o direct_o to_o a_o matter_n as_o otherwise_o they_o can_v now_o abraham_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o trouble_a mind_n among_o all_o the_o fantasy_n which_o be_v in_o his_o head_n as_o to_o think_v sure_o my_o servant_n will_v keep_v i_o from_o do_v this_o act_n because_o they_o will_v think_v i_o to_o be_v mad_a and_o in_o steed_n of_o bind_v my_o son_n they_o will_v bind_v i_o and_o carry_v i_o back_o in_o spite_n of_o my_o tooth_n into_o some_o house_n and_o there_o keep_v i_o like_o a_o mad_a and_o sauáge_a beast_n as_o if_o god_n have_v utter_o condemn_v i_o now_o abraham_n foresee_v all_o these_o thing_n hereby_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o darkness_n he_o be_v so_o enlighten_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o have_v always_o counsel_n &_o discretion_n according_o as_o he_o have_v need_v thereof_o we_o be_v therefore_o by_o his_o example_n let_v to_o understand_v that_o when_o we_o have_v such_o great_a passion_n as_o may_v astonish_v we_o so_o as_o we_o know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v we_o let_v we_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o

which_o way_n to_o hold_v now_o moses_n have_v here_o before_o recite_v that_o god_n send_v yet_o a_o far_o more_o sharp_a torture_n unto_o his_o servant_n abraham_n than_o to_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n for_o as_o he_o be_v go_v on_o the_o way_n with_o his_o son_n isaak_n he_o say_v unto_o his_o father_n my_o father_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o this_o spe●ch_n come_v from_o isaak_n at_o all_o a_o very_a venture_n ●s_v we_o say_v but_o god_n have_v determine_v so_o to_o rack_n the_o f●ith_n of_o abraham_n as_o if_o he_o will_v have_v rend_v his_o heart_n in_o piece_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o wou●d_v have_v so_o grieve_v abraham_n as_o these_o kind_n and_o love_a word_n my_o father_n now_o this_o be_v a_o sword_n to_o wound_n abraham_n even_o to_o

great_a constancy_n that_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o fight_v against_o all_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o world_n we_o may_v understand_v that_o hardly_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o that_o he_o abode_n &_o yet_o he_o overcome_v it_o then_o abraham_n say_v unto_o he_o here_o be_o i_o my_o son_n and_o soon_o after_o isaak_n say_v unto_o he_o loe_o here_o be_v wood_n &_o fire_n we_o be_v go_v to_o do_v sacrifice_n &_o to_o what_o purpose_n for_o here_o be_v never_o a_o beast_n to_o offer_v in_o sacrifice_n isaak_n right_a well_o know_v that_o they_o go_v to_o offer_v a_o burn_a offering_n unto_o god_n but_o he_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v that_o shall_v be_v offer_v &_o therefore_o he_o ask_v be_v it_o possible_a for_o abraham_n to_o be_v thus_o rack_v &_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o yea_o forsooth_o for_o god_n will_v not_o abate_v he_o a_o inch_n of_o it_o because_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o have_v so_o much_o the_o great_a courage_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v here_o to_o retain_v true_a it_o be_v that_o moses_n recite_v this_o simple_o &_o plain_o now_o if_o we_o shall_v read_v these_o thing_n without_o think_v why_o they_o be_v write_v without_o doubt_n we_o shall_v have_v but_o a_o cold_a pull_n of_o it_o neither_o shall_v we_o be_v great_o move_v with_o it_o but_o when_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v thorough_o consider_v in_o what_o estate_n abraham_n be_v and_o how_o mighty_o his_o heart_n be_v distress_v &_o there_o upon_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v when_o this_o strange_a temptation_n be_v put_v upon_o he_o and_o into_o what_o anguish_n he_o may_v be_v drive_v when_o as_o his_o son_n say_v unto_o he_o my_o father_n first_o to_o see_v abraham_n mark_v the_o simplicity_n of_o his_o son_n &_o then_o after_o to_o think_v with_o himself_o alas_o poor_a boy_n thou_o know_v not_o for_o what_o purpose_n thou_o be_v prepare_v as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o poor_a man_n shall_v be_v lead_v to_o his_o death_n not_o know_v any_o thing_n thereof_o although_o he_o be_v nothing_o to_o we_o and_o we_o not_o present_v when_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v thus_o deal_v withal_o but_o do_v only_o think_v upon_o it_o and_o say_v in_o ourselves_o what_o a_o strange_a thing_n be_v this_o to_o hear_v of_o a_o poor_a man_n lead_v to_o the_o shambles_n as_o a_o lamb_n to_o be_v slay_v no_o whit_n doubt_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n sure_o the_o very_a think_v of_o it_o will_v make_v we_o shed_v tear_n now_o behold_v abraham_n he_o see_v his_o own_o son_n and_o beside_o he_o see_v he_o as_o a_o

soon_n which_o be_v with_o he_o speak_v so_o simple_o where_o be_v the_o beast_n for_o the_o burn_a offering_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o although_o god_n at_o this_o d●y_n shall_v send_v we_o all_o the_o affliction_n that_o can_v be_v devise_v yet_o shall_v they_o be_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o abraham_n here_o do_v bear_v and_o if_o we_o will_v allege_v our_o
