this_o be_v make_v good_a the_o meaning_n be_v this_o when_o a_o man_n receive_v a_o commandment_n from_o god_n mark_v it_o when_o a_o man_n know_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n will_v that_o i_o shall_v

he_o have_v cast_v he_o away_o the_o like_a be_v the_o case_n of_o balaam_n he_o carry_v it_o exceed_v fair_o i_o will_v not_o if_o balaac_n will_v give_v i_o his_o house_n full_a of_o gold_n curse_v the_o people_n i_o can_v do_v that_o which_o god_n have_v not_o say_v to_o i_o yet_o balaam_n desire_v much_o to_o do_v it_o he_o think_v he_o will_v make_v trial_n he_o will_v go_v as_o far_o as_o he_o can_v god_n see_v it_o and_o find_v it_o out_o and_o you_o see_v what_o judgement_n be_v give_v upon_o he_o and_o this_o be_v present_o discover_v he_o give_v advice_n to_o balaac_n to_o put_v a_o stumble_a block_n before_o the_o child_n of_o isra●l_n that_o be_v by_o offer_v with_o the_o moabite_n and_o commit_v fornication_n with_o their_o woman_n and_o so_o say_v he_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o curse_v they_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v sin_n once_o than_o i_o may_v curse_v they_o to_o purpose_n i_o say_v there_o be_v the_o natural_a the_o proper_a inclination_n of_o balaams_n heart_n it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n that_o he_o be_v draw_v to_o but_o when_o his_o heart_n be_v leave_v to_o itself_o to_o go_v which_o way_n it_o will_v that_o way_n it_o go_v it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n for_o grace_n it_o still_o prevail_v and_o have_v power_n over_o he_o it_o be_v that_o which_o have_v dominion_n and_o possession_n it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o house_n and_o whensoever_o he_o be_v lest_o simple_o to_o himself_o that_o his_o heart_n work_v which_o way_n it_o will_v certain_o than_o he_o please_v god_n he_o can_v he_o do_v not_o sin_n against_o he_o i_o can_v stay_v to_o press_v this_o further_a but_o rather_o come_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o but_o this_o remember_v so_o

way_n as_o there_o be_v a_o length_n in_o this_o way_n and_o a_o straightness_n in_o it_o so_o there_o be_v a_o breadth_n in_o this_o way_n there_o be_v a_o latitude_n or_o breadth_n a_o certain_a

way_n be_v narrow_a than_o we_o there_o be_v a_o christian_a liberty_n that_o have_v enlarge_v this_o way_n and_o make_v it_o somewhat_o broad_a to_o walk_v in_o for_o as_o the_o christian_a liberty_n be_v more_o so_o likewise_o be_v the_o way_n broad_a we_o have_v more_o liberty_n than_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o many_o thing_n we_o be_v free_v from_o that_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n that_o strict_a observation_n of_o mosaical_a ceremony_n and_o so_o again_o i_o say_v one_o christian_n have_v a_o narrow_a way_n than_o another_o that_o be_v as_o a_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o more_o temptation_n to_o more_o occasion_n of_o sin_n so_o must_v he_o make_v his_o way_n narrow_a he_o may_v not_o walk_v in_o so_o broad_a a_o path_n as_o another_o again_o the_o same_o man_n in_o some_o part_n of_o his_o way_n must_v choose_v a_o narrow_a way_n in_o some_o he_o need_v not_o as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o run_v out_o in_o such_o a_o recreation_n another_o man_n may_v walk_v in_o a_o broad_a path_n in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o recreation_n than_o he_o may_v for_o to_o he_o it_o be_v a_o occasion_n he_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v snare_v and_o to_o be_v transport_v with_o it_o one_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v carry_v to_o drunkenness_n if_o he_o see_v but_o the_o wine_n if_o he_o come_v but_o near_o it_o he_o must_v not_o look_v on_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o cup_n one_o man_n be_v quick_o set_v on_o fire_n with_o incentives_n of_o lust_n with_o a_o object_n he_o may_v not_o come_v so_o near_o nor_o be_v so_o bold_a with_o they_o as_o another_o man_n may_v one_o man_n be_v apt_a if_o he_o come_v to_o such_o a_o company_n to_o receive_v some_o hurt_n to_o be_v entangle_v with_o they_o he_o be_v apt_a to_o learn_v their_o way_n to_o go_v along_o with_o they_o such_o a_o man_n may_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o come_v near_o that_o company_n as_o another_o may_v that_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o that_o temptation_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o breadth_n and_o a_o narrowne_n in_o these_o way_n now_o our_o care_n must_v be_v not_o to_o go_v beyond_o this_o breadth_n for_o it_o be_v a_o narrow_a way_n there_o be_v few_o that_o find_v it_o math._n 7._o therefore_o i_o say_v we_o have_v more_o need_n look_v to_o it_o that_o we_o step_v not_o aside_o that_o we_o lose_v not_o our_o way_n belove_a it_o concern_v we_o much_o to_o look_v to_o it_o because_o when_o we_o go_v out_o of_o god_n path_n we_o be_v still_o expose_v to_o some_o hazard_n and_o to_o some_o danger_n we_o shall_v look_v to_o it_o not_o only_o for_o obedience_n to_o god_n but_o for_o our_o own_o sake_n let_v a_o man_n be_v find_v out_o of_o the_o breadth_n of_o this_o way_n that_o be_v let_v he_o take_v more_o liberty_n than_o he_o may_v for_o it_o be_v

lest_o god_n meet_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o way_n at_o any_o time_n as_o he_o say_v to_o eliah_n what_o do_v thou_o here_o what_o make_v thou_o here_o eliah_n indeed_o it_o be_v his_o fault_n when_o god_n have_v be_v with_o he_o so_o mighty_o and_o have_v give_v he_o rain_v at_o his_o desire_n to_o work_v such_o miracle_n again_o to_o send_v fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o after_o to_o slay_v so_o many_o prophet_n of_o baal_n for_o a_o word_n of_o jezabell_n that_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a woman_n to_o run_v from_o she_o so_o many_o mile_n as_o far_o as_o his_o

say_v thou_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n though_o the_o lord_n deal_v merciful_o with_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v his_o fault_n he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n as_o sometime_o fear_n put_v we_o out_o of_o
