hereunto_o moses_n add_v that_o he_o himself_o have_v be_v as_o a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n because_o the_o people_n be_v afraid_a and_o dare_v not_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n

be_v a_o defile_n of_o holy_a thing_n if_o heathen_a king_n reign_v over_o their_o like_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o for_o although_o some_o unbelieve_a king_n reign_v over_o the_o

but_o that_o there_o be_v always_o this_o exemption_n that_o god_n have_v still_o a_o peculiar_a kind_n of_o reign_v whereby_o he_o show_v as_o in_o a_o lookingglasse_n they_o y_fw-fr t_o people_n

stuff_n yea_o this_o will_v stand_v i_o in_o steed_n i_o will_v have_v it_o say_v i_o and_o the_o poor_a man_n can_v tell_v what_o to_o answer_v for_o he_o be_v at_o my_o mercy_n if_o he_o deny_v it_o o_o say_v i_o there_o be_v no_o deal_n with_o you_o go_v your_o way_n it_o be_v no_o pity_n to_o help_v you_o and_o thus_o a_o poor_a man_n shall_v be_v hold_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o rack_n you_o see_v then_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o law_n when_o our_o lord_n forbid_v a_o man_n to_o enter_v into_o his_o neighbour_n house_n to_o ransack_v it_o for_o a_o pledge_n for_o why_o he_o which_o

with_o such_o desire_n we_o judge_v no_o long_o what_o be_v rightful_a because_o every_o of_o we_o will_v conclude_v o_o i_o must_v ask_v this_o and_o why_o because_o it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o i_o we_o see_v then_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o first_o part_n but_o if_o a_o man_n be_v at_o his_o own_o free_a choice_n to_o bring_v what_o pledge_n he_o will_v so_o as_o he_o be_v press_v he_o may_v then_o withdraw_v himself_o aside_o &_o beware_v that_o he_o be_v not_o tread_v under_o foot_n nor_o pinch_v beyond_o measure_n he_o may_v beethinke_v himself_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v he_o may_v advise_v himself_o by_o his_o own_o counsel_n there_o be_v no_o man_n to_o control_v he_o or_o to_o disturb_v the_o stuff_n of_o his_o house_n and_o then_o a_o man_n may_v take_v the_o pledge_n to_o assure_v his_o money_n now_o because_o there_o may_v be_v sometime_o such_o urgent_a necessity_n that_o a_o man_n will_v some_o time_n shift_v himself_o to_o his_o shirt_n to_o have_v somewhat_o to_o eat_v our_o lord_n provide_v far_a in_o this_o case_n to_o remedy_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o command_v the_o pledge_n to_o be_v restore_v again_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v perceive_v that_o a_o poor_a man_n can_v miss_v it_o for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o man_n must_v be_v touch_v with_o great_a compassion_n for_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o be_v because_o that_o when_o a_o man_n put_v himself_o beside_o his_o bed_n and_o his_o clothing_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o judge_v and_o to_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v come_v to_o great_a extremity_n and_o to_o the_o far_a degree_n of_o poverty_n that_o be_v one_o point_n to_o be_v note_v the_o other_o be_v in_o consider_v of_o this_o point_n what_o difference_n there_o be_v whether_o a_o man_n die_v for_o hunger_n or_o for_o cold_a this_o be_v but_o to_o change_v his_o torment_n this_o be_v not_o to_o succour_v he_o i_o lend_v a_o man_n money_n and_o he_o buy_v bread_n therewith_o to_o eat_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v freeze_a to_o death_n through_o i_o and_o do_v i_o relieve_v he_o then_o so_o then_o we_o ought_v in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o be_v move_v with_o compassion_n or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o humanity_n in_o us._n so_o then_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v have_v the_o pledge_n restore_v again_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n we_o take_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o preserve_n of_o a_o

free_a will_n as_o many_o thing_n be_v permit_v we_o before_o man_n of_o which_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v be_v accountable_a before_o god_n although_o we_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o earthly_a

have_v if_o i_o leave_v and_o forsake_v he_o doubtless_o i_o do_v he_o wrong_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n now_o civil_a justice_n can_v set_v down_o no_o other_o order_n but_o that_o all_o must_v be_v do_v as_o i_o will_v have_v it_o yea_o but_o as_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v excuse_v before_o man_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v therefore_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v culpable_a before_o god_n for_o the_o law_n require_v a_o far_a other_o perfection_n than_o earthly_a and_o common_a justice_n do_v so_o then_o let_v we_o note_v that_o although_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o jew_n as_o touch_v earthly_a justice_n to_o take_v any_o gage_n they_o list_v yet_o do_v god_n condemn_v it_o for_o intolerable_a cruelty_n and_o if_o this_o

god_n have_v command_v he_o to_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n upon_o knowledge_n that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o now_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n turn_v away_o from_o the_o pureness_n of_o

but_o my_o meaning_n be_v of_o such_o as_o harden_v themselves_o in_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o take_v occasion_n to_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o because_o they_o be_v not_o reprove_v of_o their_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

right_a in_o this_o case_n be_v equal_a and_o mutual_a as_o i_o have_v show_v afore_o and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v at_o this_o day_n to_o observe_v namely_o that_o every_o man_n ought_v to_o consider_v that_o the_o vocation_n which_o he_o have_v of_o god_n be_v such_o a_o yoke_n as_o he_o may_v not_o seek_v to_o shake_v off_o for_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a service_n which_o we_o can_v render_v unto_o god_n all_o our_o whole_a life-time_n to_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o when_o he_o have_v set_v we_o in_o some_o estate_n and_o calling_n to_o do_v that_o which_o belong_v unto_o our_o dewtie_n and_o that_o every_o one_o yield_v himself_o obedient_a in_o all_o humbleness_n to_o say_v have_v god_n call_v i_o unto_o this_o end_n i_o must_v frame_v myself_o thereunto_o without_o any_o reply_n or_o gainsay_n therefore_o when_o we_o be_v of_o a_o mild_a and_o gentle_a disposition_n submit_v ourselves_o unto_o y_z e_o will_n of_o our_o god_n therein_o say_v i_o consist_v the_o principal_a service_n which_o he_o like_v and_o desire_v and_o without_o this_o all_o our_o virtue_n be_v nought_o else_o in_o his_o sight_n but_o dung_n and_o filthynesse_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o consider_v as_o touch_v marriage_n what_o the_o call_n of_o god_n be_v and_o what_o manner_n of_o law_n or_o what_o yoke_n he_o

the_o same_o name_n belong_v not_o unto_o we_o nowadays_o yet_o have_v we_o a_o general_a lesson_n to_o gather_v thereupon_o namely_o that_o we_o may_v well_o apply_v unto_o ourselves_o all_o the_o

of_o they_o shall_v fail_v us._n now_o moses_n add_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o lion_n tear_v his_o prey_n as_o well_o the_o head_n as_o the_o arm_n whereby_o he_o betoken_v that_o those_o

diverse_a battle_n but_o yet_o that_o god_n will_v always_o aid_v they_o and_o give_v they_o mean_n to_o overthrow_v their_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o although_o our_o lord_n suffer_v we_o to_o endure_v many_o trouble_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v thereupon_o that_o he_o shake_v we_o off_o or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v merciful_a to_o we_o &_o make_v we_o to_o

with_o we_o still_o and_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o our_o lord_n abhor_v ydolatry_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o other_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v in_o any_o wise_a but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o abhor_v it_o and_o because_o we_o be_v too_o cold_a in_o that_o behalf_n we_o be_v warn_v to_o quicken_v up_o ourselves_o and_o to_o take_v the_o mean_n which_o we_o know_v to_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v the_o forward_a in_o cause_v god_n to_o be_v serve_v pure_o among_o we_o and_o open_v

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n but_o here_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n how_o moses_n may_v say_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o such_o a_o city_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v put_v over_o unto_o god_n as_o a_o offering_n or_o sacrifice_n yet_o do_v god_n speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n in_o many_o place_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o when_o we_o protest_v that_o only_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o when_o we_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o solemn_a homage_n unto_o he_o and_o again_o when_o other_o appurtenance_n come_v in_o place_n as_o when_o man_n sacrifice_v under_o the_o law_n they_o protest_v that_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o

and_o yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n in_o the_o firstlinge_n tenthes_o and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_n unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n it_o behove_v god_n curse_n to_o be_v thereupon_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v loe_o this_o be_v he_o that_o shall_v answer_v for_o all_o to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n may_v be_v acquit_v and_o deliver_v from_o death_n this_o sacrifice_n must_v answer_v for_o they_o and_o therefore_o those_o sacrifice_n be_v call_v sin_n and_o the_o same_o name_n be_v attribute_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o bear_v our_o curse_n in_o his_o person_n 5.21_o levit._fw-la 7.2_o 2._o cor._n 5.21_o but_o here_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n namely_o that_o god_n be_v honour_v and_o homage_n be_v do_v unto_o he_o by_o root_a out_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v deface_v his_o honour_n before_o therefore_o when_o a_o city_n be_v destroy_v that_o have_v erst_o be_v a_o den_n of_o ydolatry_n and_o all_o the_o spoil_n thereof_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n like_v very_o well_o of_o and_o why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v a_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n that_o impeach_v the_o honour_n of_o he_o at_o all_o man_n hand_n and_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v submit_v themselves_o to_o he_o and_o his_o majesty_n be_v know_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v now_o than_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n command_v sacrifice_v to_o be_v do_v unto_o god_n with_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v infect_v and_o defile_v with_o ydolatrie_n and_o he_o say_v express_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v not_o upon_o thou_o whereby_o he_o confirm_v the_o matter_n that_o â—_o have_v touch_v already_o which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o we_o wrap_v not_o ourselves_o in_o other_o man_n sin_n for_o they_o that_o correct_v not_o evil_a doing_n when_o
