the_o day_n which_o shadow_v they_o from_o y_z e_z burn_v of_o the_o sun_n we_o see_v then_o that_o these_o two_o token_n of_o god_n presence_n serve_v fit_o for_o the_o ease_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o in_o all_o these_o do_n they_o feel_v his_o fatherly_a goodness_n again_o the_o more_o of_o such_o figure_n they_o have_v the_o more_o be_v they_o convict_v that_o god_n have_v govern_v they_o and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o continual_a care_n of_o their_o welfare_n and_o therefore_o do_v moses_n make_v express_a mention_n both_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o of_o the_o cloud_n say_v that_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n give_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o equal_a value_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n show_v 10.2_o 1._o cor._n 10.2_o say_v that_o the_o cloud_n and_o the_o

their_o body_n they_o be_v guide_v with_o fire_n by_o night_n and_o have_v a_o cloud_n spread_v over_o their_o head_n by_o day_n yet_o god_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o have_v they_o stay_v upon_o

notwithstanding_o these_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v condemn_v which_o offend_v unconstrained_a by_o any_o extremity_n as_o how_o if_o a_o poor_a man_n deal_v unconscionable_o when_o he_o have_v

such_o wise_a with_o man_n that_o as_o we_o receive_v good_a by_o they_o so_o we_o also_o on_o our_o side_n may_v look_v to_o do_v good_a to_o they_o so_o as_o there_o may_v be_v a_o mutual_a

in_o respect_n of_o this_o present_a life_n and_o of_o all_o worldly_a affair_n to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o y_o t_z in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n make_v other_o to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o

case_n there_o be_v a_o special_a consideration_n in_o their_o conquer_a of_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v not_o promise_v several_o to_o the_o tribe_n of_o juda_n or_o to_o the_o tribe_n of_o benjamin_n or_o to_o any_o of_o the_o other_o tribe_n alone_o but_o general_o to_o the_o whole_a offspring_n of_o abraham_n therefore_o it_o behove_v this_o land_n to_o be_v

one_o common_a trace_n we_o must_v apply_v this_o example_n to_o ourselves_o and_o consider_v that_o the_o same_o rule_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o be_v give_v to_o we_o also_o as_o how_o do_v god_n command_v that_o we_o shall_v but_o every_o man_n several_o for_o himself_o resist_v satan_n and_o proceed_v more_o and_o more_o in_o the_o gospel_n be_v it_o not_o a_o common_a lesson_n yes_o see_v then_o that_o god_n call_v we_o so_o one_o with_o another_o and_o will_v have_v all_o to_o agree_v in_o one_o accord_n like_o good_a melody_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o separate_v

up_o his_o church_n and_o to_o make_v his_o gospel_n to_o prosper_v and_o flourish_v every_o man_n must_v not_o only_o work_v alone_o by_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v also_o agree_v all_o in_o one_o and_o draw_v all_o by_o one_o line_n and_o every_o of_o we_o strain_n himself_o to_o serve_v such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o his_o help_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o all_o such_o as_o will_v needs_o build_v so_o alone_o by_o themselves_o do_v but_o work_v confusion_n of_o which_o sort_n there_o be_v that_o think_v themselves_o very_o able_a man_n and_o that_o they_o can_v work_v wonder_n to_o

that_o they_o do_v a_o hundred_o fold_n more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o what_o come_v of_o such_o pride_n but_o overthrow_n and_o confusion_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o therefore_o that_o we_o

to_o wit_n to_o convey_v the_o people_n over_o jordan_n and_o to_o conquer_v all_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n but_o first_o of_o all_o he_o set_v before_o he_o the_o victory_n that_o the_o people_n

they_o be_v but_o too_o forward_o already_o in_o take_v more_o upon_o they_o than_o belong_v to_o they_o see_v then_o that_o man_n be_v so_o natural_o give_v to_o selfeween_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o they_o to_o be_v meeken_v and_o to_o be_v bereave_v of_o all_o their_o pride_n and_o loftiness_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o have_v nothing_o of_o their_o own_o but_o this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o make_v they_o to_o understande_v that_o whatsoever_o they_o have_v they_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n mere_a grace_n for_o it_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o moses_n say_v express_o thou_o have_v see_v with_o thy_o eye_n what_o god_n have_v do_v unto_o these_o two_o king_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o you_o know_v not_o the_o power_n that_o god_n have_v show_v you_o of_o who_o be_v it_o long_o
in_o say_v it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o to_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o move_v he_o thereto_o and_o how_o he_o be_v induce_v thereunto_o do_v he_o seek_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o out_o of_o himself_o no_o but_o his_o own_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o choose_v us._n now_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n love_n it_o mean_v that_o free_a favour_n which_o he_o bear_v towards_o we_o so_o as_o he_o respect_v not_o our_o person_n nor_o service_n nor_o aught_o else_o that_o we_o can_v bring_v sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o consider_v here_o god_n goodness_n two_o way_n for_o first_o of_o all_o when_o we_o have_v his_o gospel_n preach_v among_o we_o and_o his_o sacrament_n whereby_o he_o gather_v we_o as_o it_o be_v into_o his_o fold_n and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o shepherd_n it_o be_v say_v i_o a_o choose_n of_o we_o for_o the_o which_o we_o be_v great_o bind_v unto_o he_o in_o so_o much_o that_o our_o maliciousness_n must_v needs_o be_v cast_v in_o our_o tooth_n and_o be_v call_v to_o account_v to_o receive_v horrible_a vengeance_n if_o we_o make_v no_o reckon_v of_o so_o great_a a_o grace_n as_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o us._n therefore_o let_v we_o make_v much_o of_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o enjoy_v ââ_o deââ_n ââ_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o god_n gather_v we_o here_o together_o in_o his_o name_n to_o be_v as_o his_o household_n folk_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o choose_v which_o be_v when_o every_o of_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n have_v enlighten_v he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o make_v we_o to_o taste_v his_o word_n so_o as_o we_o stick_v to_o it_o by_o

not_o make_v long_a circuit_n to_o find_v some_o reason_n in_o ourselves_o but_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o content_v with_o the_o free_a love_n of_o our_o god_n for_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o any_o

listen_v alone_o therein_o he_o intend_v to_o give_v the_o great_a show_n of_o his_o goodness_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v compare_v ourselves_o with_o

stretch_v out_o his_o mighty_a arm_n over_o us._n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o that_o doctrine_n be_v not_o utter_v only_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o people_n of_o old_a time_n but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v common_a to_o we_o also_o at_o this_o day_n remember_v say_v moses_n that_o thy_o god_n have_v choose_v thou_o and_o why_o because_o he_o love_v thy_o father_n and_o the_o same_o

it_o be_v true_a that_o saint_n john_n say_v general_o that_o he_o love_v the_o world_n and_o why_o for_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o general_o to_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n to_o be_v

13.14_o have_v yet_o a_o third_o use_n of_o god_n love_n in_o that_o he_o reveil_v himself_o more_o familiar_o to_o they_o and_o seal_v up_o his_o fatherly_a adoption_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o ingrave_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n now_o then_o let_v we_o in_o all_o case_n learn_v to_o know_v this_o love_n of_o god_n &_o when_o we_o be_v once_o come_v to_o it_o let_v we_o go_v no_o further_o thus_o we_o see_v three_o degree_n of_o the_o love_n that_o god_n have_v show_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n the_o first_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v

first_o degree_n of_o love_n which_o extend_v to_o all_o man_n inasmuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n reach_v out_o his_o arm_n to_o call_v and_o allure_v all_o man_n both_o great_a and_o small_a and_o to_o

double_a bind_v already_o to_o our_o god_n here_o be_v two_o bond_n which_o hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v straight_o tie_v unto_o he_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o bond_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o third_o love_n that_o god_n show_v we_o which_o be_v that_o he_o not_o only_o cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o but_o also_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v the_o power_n thereof_o so_o as_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n &_o saviour_n not_o dout_v but_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n who_o bring_v we_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o reform_v we_o after_o his_o own_o image_n when_o as_o god_n do_v so_o imprint_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o show_v we_o a_o three_o love_n true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o god_n have_v not_o diverse_a affection_n we_o must_v not_o imagine_v so_o but_o i_o handle_v these_o matter_n according_a to_o our_o capacity_n and_o we_o must_v consider_v of_o god_n love_n according_a to_o our_o slenderness_n because_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o his_o high_a majesty_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o and_o therefore_o even_o he_o himself_o also_o utter_v himself_o to_o we_o according_a to_o our_o ability_n and_o so_o we_o see_v now_o that_o god_n love_n be_v utter_v and_o show_v unto_o we_o evident_o three_o way_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 3.10_o col._n 3.10_o the_o chief_a whereof_o be_v when_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v and_o that_o faith_n be_v add_v unto_o it_o therewithal_o and_o as_o i_o say_v when_o we_o once_o have_v this_o free_a love_n of_o god_n we_o must_v go_v no_o further_o for_o we_o see_v what_o have_v happen_v to_o all_o such_o as_o have_v not_o hold_v themselves_o in_o such_o soberness_n and_o sure_o when_o man_n be_v inquisitive_a why_o god_n love_v some_o more_o than_o othersome_a it_o proceed_v of_o a_o certain_a pride_n and_o spite_n in_o that_o they_o can_v abide_v that_o the_o whole_a praise_n of_o their_o salvation_n shall_v rest_v in_o god_n alone_o man_n seek_v always_o to_o challenge_v somewhat_o to_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o
and_o on_o the_o otherside_n he_o tri_v our_o humility_n for_o if_o he_o thunder_v from_o heaven_n if_o he_o appear_v visible_o unto_o we_o if_o the_o angel_n come_v down_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v no_o

say_v that_o the_o people_n dare_v not_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mount_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o fear_n which_o they_o have_v conceive_v and_o although_o we_o in_o these_o day_n will_v not_o refuse_v that_o god_n shall_v speak_v unto_o we_o yet_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n use_v of_o

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

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

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

he_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o come_v again_o thus_o overcom_v he_o our_o naughtiness_n with_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o we_o see_v it_o by_o experience_n but_o yet_o sometime_o we_o feel_v it_o not_o though_o our_o lord_n show_v we_o it_o howesoever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o if_o our_o lord_n at_o any_o time_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o and_o seem_v not_o to_o perform_v his_o promise_n to_o we_o our_o own_o fault_n be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o for_o that_o we_o be_v froward_a and_o have_v pull_v back_o god_n hand_n when_o he_o will_v have_v reach_v it_o out_o to_o have_v discharge_v his_o promise_n towards_o us._n for_o how_o many_o time_n a_o day_n provoke_v we_o his_o wrath_n and_o be_v not_o that_o a_o kind_n of_o shut_v of_o the_o door_n against_o he_o that_o he_o may_v not_o come_v at_o we_o to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o goodness_n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v thrust_v back_o his_o grace_n after_o that_o fashion_n if_o it_o appear_v not_o again_o unto_o we_o out_o of_o hand_n we_o have_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v to_o blame_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v discourage_v but_o we_o must_v pray_v god_n that_o although_o he_o have_v defer_v the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o be_v utter_o bereave_v of_o they_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v but_o that_o after_o we_o have_v languish_v for_o a_o time_n and_o be_v chastise_v for_o our_o offence_n we_o return_v again_o without_o fail_n and_o enjoy_v y_z e_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o that_o text_n and_o whereas_o god_n forbid_v his_o people_n to_o have_v any_o stranger_n to_o be_v their_o king_n there_o be_v two_o reason_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o the_o one_o be_v y_fw-fr t_o that_o kingdom_n be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o it_o shall_v have_v come_v to_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o unbeliever_n or_o ydolater_n for_o that_o have_v 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 people_n of_o israel_n by_o tyranny_n 25.21_o 2._o kin._n 17.6_o &_o 25.21_o as_o be_v do_v by_o the_o babylonian_n and_o afterward_o by_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v 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 be_v gather_v together_o as_o into_o his_o own_o house_n therefore_o if_o a_o stranger_n have_v be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o seat_n of_o david_n it_o have_v be_v treachery_n against_o god_n &_o the_o reproach_n have_v be_v offer_v to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o only_a son_n for_o when_o the_o kingdom_n be_v establish_v in_o the_o line_n of_o david_n this_o promise_n be_v add_v i_o will_v be_v his_o father_n 1.5_o psal._n 2.7_o &_o hebr._n 1.5_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n and_o the_o apostle_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v so_o honourable_a a_o title_n that_o it_o belong_v not_o even_o to_o the_o angel_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v sometime_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n howbeit_o that_o be_v not_o without_o a_o addition_n whereas_o christ_n have_v it_o because_o he_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o creature_n now_o then_o have_v they_o choosen_v a_o ydolater_n and_o set_v he_o up_o in_o the_o seat_n which_o god_n have_v reserve_v for_o his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v establish_v in_o his_o infinite_a grace_n who_o be_v the_o mark_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n and_o who_o be_v above_o all_o the_o principality_n of_o the_o world_n yea_o and_o above_o heaven_n itself_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n 1.16.17_o col._n 1.16.17_o as_o y_o e_o apostle_n speak_v of_o he_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n what_o a_o thing_n have_v that_o be_v have_v it_o not_o be_v a_o unnatural_a confusion_n and_o too_o shameful_a a_o defile_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o for_o the_o first_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v not_o have_v a_o stranger_n to_o sit_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o david_n and_o in_o so_o do_v god_n mean_v also_o to_o show_v a_o dreadful_a displeasure_n and_o to_o make_v the_o people_n to_o know_v how_o they_o be_v utter_o accurse_v in_o that_o they_o be_v disappoint_v of_o that_o kingdom_n &_o that_o god_n lamp_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n put_v out_o for_o that_o similitude_n be_v often_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 11.36_o 1._o
man_n shall_v overshoote_v himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n and_o whereof_o come_v this_o even_o of_o give_v head_n to_o his_o own_o lust_n &_o therefore_o god_n pay_v he_o his_o just_a hire_n see_v we_o know_v this_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o quake_v at_o such_o vengeance_n set_v before_o our_o eye_n yes_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o david_n and_o solomon_n have_v many_o wife_n it_o be_v not_o without_o fault_n and_o transgression_n and_o thereby_o we_o see_v so_o much_o the_o more_o how_o needful_a this_o law_n be_v for_o if_o god_n have_v never_o forbid_v king_n to_o have_v many_o wife_n have_v not_o their_o liberty_n be_v yet_o the_o more_o excessive_a yes_o very_o for_o they_o can_v be_v withhold_v from_o rebel_a against_o god_n their_o flesh_n carry_v they_o so_o away_o that_o they_o forget_v the_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v best_o know_v unto_o they_o this_o text_n ought_v to_o be_v note_v above_o all_o other_o special_o for_o king_n and_o yet_o they_o think_v not_o of_o it_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o god_n prevent_v that_o mischief_n but_o we_o must_v understand_v by_o the_o way_n how_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o law_n be_v set_v down_o unless_o god_n write_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o else_o it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a

therefore_o whensoever_o our_o lord_n command_v we_o any_o thing_n let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o must_v run_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v write_v the_o thing_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o we_o read_v write_v in_o paper_n or_o parchment_n as_o touch_v riches_n we_o must_v not_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v the_o like_a fault_n for_o why_o 12.4_o 2._o sam_n 8.11_o &_o 1_o chron._n 22.14_o &_o 1_o kin._n 12.4_o when_o david_n gather_v such_o a_o mass_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n it_o be_v to_o build_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o make_v any_o other_o enterprise_n as_o we_o know_v again_o we_o see_v not_o that_o he_o grieve_v his_o people_n though_o there_o be_v great_a complaint_n after_o the_o death_n of_o solomon_n but_o of_o that_o we_o will_v treat_v hereafter_o both_o for_o david_n and_o for_o solomon_n the_o intent_n of_o david_n then_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a forasmuch_o as_o in_o gather_v all_o thing_n together_o which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n he_o attempt_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o command_v he_o of_o god_n also_o the_o mean_n be_v lawful_a for_o he_o lay_v no_o tyrannical_a charge_n upon_o his_o people_n as_o for_o solomon_n he_o have_v the_o great_a riches_n gather_v aforehande_v by_o his_o father_n and_o again_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o those_o thing_n be_v such_o as_o he_o have_v conquer_v of_o the_o infidel_n 68.12.13_o psa._n 68.12.13_o and_o their_o spoil_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v present_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o as_o be_v speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o psalm_n and_o therefore_o solomon_n for_o his_o part_n may_v lawful_o use_v all_o those_o good_n special_o forsomuch_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o tharsis_n and_o of_o all_o the_o yle_n and_o far_a country_n shall_v come_v and_o bring_v gold_n and_o silver_n 72.10_o psal._n 72.10_o and_o all_o manner_n of_o precious_a thing_n and_o again_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v give_v unto_o he_o of_o y_z e_z gold_n of_o arabia_n because_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n shall_v flourish_v after_o that_o manner_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o david_n and_o solomon_n to_o gather_v treasure_n so_o it_o be_v not_o upon_o ambition_n and_o pride_n nor_o to_o undertake_v foolish_a enterprise_n and_o to_o overshoote_v themselves_o into_o looseness_n of_o life_n and_o also_o so_o the_o people_n be_v not_o grieve_v by_o it_o with_o any_o imposition_n but_o that_o david_n do_v but_o only_o receive_v the_o gold_n and_o silver_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o they_o but_o whether_o solomon_n exceed_v measure_n or_o no_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o affirm_v we_o see_v what_o his_o disobedient_a son_n roboam_n say_v 11.24_o 1._o kin._n 11.24_o namely_o that_o whereas_o his_o father_n have_v beat_v the_o people_n with_o rod_n he_o will_v beat_v they_o with_o whip_n and_o he_o will_v lay_v upon_o they_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v bear_v until_o he_o make_v all_o the_o back_n of_o they_o to_o bow_v in_o which_o say_v roboam_n vaunt_v of_o his_o father_n tyranny_n and_o we_o may_v well_o gather_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v some_o excess_n in_o solomon_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v not_o for_o nought_o forbid_v king_n to_o gather_v great_a mass_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o do_v david_n use_v the_o prayer_n which_o i_o have_v rehearse_v before_o for_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o he_o see_v the_o temptation_n that_o may_v assail_v he_o on_o all_o side_n and_o he_o can_v never_o have_v withstand_v they_o if_o god_n have_v not_o strengthen_v he_o with_o his_o power_n and_o in_o the_o same_o respect_n he_o protest_v that_o god_n law_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o than_o gold_n and_o silver_n 19.11_o psal._n 19.11_o and_o that_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n be_v nothing_o to_o he_o in_o comparison_n of_o god_n law_n because_o he_o see_v there_o his_o true_a felicity_n and_o glory_n so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v in_o few_o word_n that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n forbid_v king_n to_o hoard_v up_o great_a treasure_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o be_v scotfree_a so_o their_o heart_n inclyne_v not_o to_o pride_n vaynglorie_n and_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

the_o devil_n must_v needs_o work_v with_o the_o great_a force_n because_o god_n give_v he_o the_o bridle_n to_o carry_v man_n so_o away_o as_o they_o become_v ugly_a monster_n to_o be_v short_a we_o

thereby_o therefore_o when_o as_o the_o heathen_a make_v law_n it_o come_v not_o first_o of_o all_o of_o their_o own_o brayn_n for_o whereas_o they_o make_v fond_a and_o blockish_a law_n therein_o

you_o see_v then_o how_o punishment_n do_v serve_v for_o example_n and_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o double_a lesson_n thereof_o first_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

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

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 lay_v on_o the_o neck_n of_o man_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o live_v quiet_o with_o his_o wife_n bear_v with_o those_o infirmity_n which_o be_v in_o she_o &_o be_v a_o companion_n to_o live_v and_o to_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

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

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

their_o eye_n be_v ready_a to_o burst_v for_o that_o be_v the_o similitude_n which_o david_n use_v in_o the_o 73._o psalm_n say_v remember_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o servant_n in_o the_o land_n of_o

among_o they_o they_o ought_v to_o think_v alas_o when_o our_o father_n be_v cruel_o afflict_v in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n they_o will_v fain_o have_v be_v somewhat_o relieve_v be_v it_o not_o

it_o be_v therefore_o all_o one_o as_o if_o the_o chief_a lord_n shall_v require_v his_o royalty_n his_o homage_n &_o his_o other_o right_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o for_o god_n seem_v thus_o

that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o judge_n speak_v unto_o the_o man_n to_o persuade_v he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o if_o the_o man_n will_v not_o consent_v

any_o force_n and_o violence_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v simple_o command_v as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o i_o be_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n will_v constrain_v a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o i_o think_v good_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o the_o law_n constrain_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o their_o bound_n and_o not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o say_v what_o i_o command_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v do_v it_o no_o for_o there_o be_v no_o constrain_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o law_n a_o man_n must_v hold_v himself_o to_o the_o rule_n thereof_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o

to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o shame_n that_o be_v do_v in_o pluck_v off_o of_o their_o shoe_n &_o in_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n it_o serve_v to_o provoke_v

we_o be_v the_o most_o wretched_a &_o miserable_a of_o all_o creature_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a point_n to_o be_v note_v for_o you_o shall_v see_v man_n so_o blind_a or_o at_o

that_o have_v be_v lay_v out_o brief_o before_o that_o be_v that_o according_a as_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v visit_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v benefit_n ourselves_o thereby_o and_o

i_o win_v by_o use_v many_o wyndlass_n as_o the_o worldling_n do_v who_o desire_v to_o fall_v a_o sleep_n in_o their_o misery_n and_o the_o only_a comfort_n which_o they_o seek_v be_v to_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o god_n now_o if_o we_o do_v so_o then_o must_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o two_o &_o thirtith_n psalm_n be_v practise_v upon_o we_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o

let_v we_o not_o accuse_v the_o heaven_n nor_o yet_o the_o air_n say_v it_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o they_o let_v we_o not_o do_v as_o the_o fantastical_a folk_n do_v which_o look_v no_o high_a than_o the_o star_n but_o let_v we_o think_v upon_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o as_o many_o affliction_n as_o fall_v upon_o we_o may_v be_v unto_o we_o as_o visible_a sign_n and_o mark_n that_o

the_o death_n but_o a_o summon_n of_o we_o to_o appear_v before_o he_o there_o to_o frame_v new_a process_n against_o us._n this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o therefore_o when_o we_o feel_v any_o evil_a or_o grief_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o we_o have_v offend_v god_n but_o let_v we_o think_v therewithal_o that_o god_n nevertheless_o mean_v not_o to_o execute_v a_o final_a sentence_n upon_o we_o when_o he_o call_v we_o again_o unto_o he_o to_o what_o end_n then_o be_v it_o be_v it_o to_o condemn_v we_o without_o mercy_n no_o but_o he_o do_v we_o this_o favour_n that_o we_o may_v be_v our_o own_o judge_n when_o he_o do_v summon_v we_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o one_o shall_v plead_v guilty_a of_o his_o own_o good_a will_n and_o thereupon_o ask_v he_o forgiveness_n and_o flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o his_o mercy_n loe_o here_o a_o inestimable_a privilege_n and_o so_o let_v we_o benefit_n ourselves_o both_o private_o and_o public_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o heaven_n burn_v hot_a and_o we_o ask_v rain_n and_o yet_o go_v without_o it_o so_o as_o the_o fruit_n do_v fail_v upon_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o heat_n dri_v up_o all_o thing_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n which_o visit_v we_o and_o let_v we_o confess_v our_o sin_n with_o one_o common_a accord_n and_o if_o any_o man_n feel_v any_o household_n vexation_n let_v he_o confess_v well_o god_n do_v waken_v i_o by_o this_o visitation_n because_o i_o have_v offend_v he_o thus_o the_o chief_a study_n wherein_o god_n will_v have_v the_o faithful_a to_o exercise_v themselves_o be_v the_o examine_n of_o their_o sin_n after_o this_o manner_n whereby_o it_o will_v come_v

to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v offend_v god_n and_o blear_v out_o our_o tongue_n against_o he_o like_o as_o we_o see_v these_o despiser_n do_v which_o set_v themselves_o against_o he_o dash_v at_o he_o

that_o have_v a_o speculative_a faith_n they_o make_v themselves_o y_o e_fw-la able_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n they_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o faithful_a as_o any_o can_v be_v find_v but_o they_o that_o know_v what_o faith_n be_v do_v understande_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o hard_a than_o for_o we_o to_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n and_o in_o that_o behalf_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o imprison_v our_o sense_n and_o to_o take_v the_o bit_n in_o our_o mouth_n as_o they_o say_v and_o to_o enforce_v ourselves_o yea_o and_o that_o god_n also_o on_o his_o side_n do_v work_n in_o that_o behalf_n as_o we_o do_v see_v that_o he_o do_v for_o it_o be_v no_o superfluous_a talk_n when_o he_o set_v his_o promise_n before_o we_o and_o put_v we_o so_o often_o in_o mind_n of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o they_o bear_v no_o great_a sway_n with_o we_o or_o rather_o that_o they_o enter_v not_o into_o our_o heart_n to_o settle_v there_o as_o be_v meet_v they_o shall_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o moses_n mean_v in_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o forsake_v his_o people_n moreover_o under_o this_o word_n he_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o god_n offer_v of_o his_o grace_n unto_o we_o be_v not_o for_o a_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v continue_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n conditional_o that_o we_o also_o do_v receive_v it_o with_o the_o like_a condition_n in_o deed_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o this_o place_n he_o treat_v but_o of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n but_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o pledge_n of_o the_o eternal_a life_n and_o

therefore_o that_o our_o lord_n mean_v not_o to_o encourage_v we_o for_o a_o day_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v depend_v upon_o he_o to_o live_v and_o to_o die_v and_o that_o we_o shall_v

this_o be_v to_o be_v well_o note_v because_o that_o although_o man_n embrace_v god_n promise_n yet_o be_v they_o sometime_o or_o other_o in_o doubt_n and_o wot_v not_o where_o to_o become_v and_o

what_o god_n intend_v to_o do_v hereafter_o insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v a_o principal_a article_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o they_o hold_v in_o the_o popedom_n neither_o mean_v i_o that_o it_o be_v the_o ignorant_a sort_n of_o the_o simple_a people_n only_o which_o do_v say_v so_o but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o all_o the_o monk_n and_o freer_n who_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v the_o

a_o sway_n somuch_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v confirm_v in_o this_o doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v thou_o neither_o shall_v thou_o ever_o be_v forsake_v of_o he_o now_o when_o moses_n have_v thus_o speak_v to_o the_o people_n then_o he_o call_v also_o josuah_n and_o confirm_v he_o and_o moreover_o in_o the_o person_n of_o josuah_n we_o may_v perceive_v the_o thing_n yet_o better_a which_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o namely_o y_fw-fr t_o it_o suffice_v we_o not_o to_o be_v once_o certify_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n but_o that_o because_o of_o our_o weakness_n we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v uphold_v &_o maintain_v lest_o we_o fall_v away_o or_o swerve_v aside_o for_o behold_v here_o be_v josuah_n who_o god_n have_v choose_v to_o be_v governor_n of_o his_o people_n to_o set_v they_o in_o y_z e_z possession_n of_o their_o promise_a inheritance_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v hear_v his_o

again_o and_o how_o so_o be_v he_o so_o short_a witted_a that_o ere_o three_o day_n to_o a_o end_n he_o have_v quite_o forget_v what_o have_v be_v say_v unto_o he_o before_o god_n and_o the_o

the_o thing_n that_o i_o say_v afore_o namely_o that_o moses_n intend_v not_o to_o flatter_v isachar_n in_o y_z e_z thing_n for_o which_o he_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n for_o the_o cowardliness_n whereof_o i_o have_v make_v mention_n nevertheless_o because_o that_o fault_n be_v unreformable_a &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n be_v to_o chastise_v that_o people_n with_o

themselves_o so_o punish_v at_o god_n hand_n well_o say_v he_o bear_v you_o this_o burden_n patient_o for_o you_o be_v worthy_a of_o the_o punishment_n which_o god_n lay_v upon_o you_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v with_o you_o be_v not_o out_o of_o hart_n for_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v a_o father_n to_o you_o still_o although_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o

therefore_o be_v glad_a in_o your_o wretchedness_n &_o distress_n lo_o how_o the_o faithful_a aught_o always_o to_o assuage_v their_o sorrow_n when_o god_n chastise_v they_o in_o this_o world_n for_o

his_o household_n &_o church_n moses_n have_v speak_v so_o of_o those_o two_o trybe_n add_v in_o common_a that_o they_o shall_v call_v folk_n up_o into_o the_o mountain_n to_o offer_v unto_o god_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o righteousness_n no_o doubt_n but_o moses_n mean_v this_o of_o mount_n zion_n &_o that_o be_v yet_o one_o other_o pprophecy_n for_o no_o man_n can_v foresee_v that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o temple_n to_o be_v build_v in_o that_o place_n &_o yet_o moses_n set_v it_o down_o express_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v set_v upon_o a_o hill_n 12.5_o deut._n 12.5_o in_o deed_n he_o say_v thy_o god_n will_v choose_v he_o a_o place_n where_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v call_v upon_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n after_o yea_o four_o hundred_o or_o rather_o six_o hundred_o year_n after_o ere_o any_o man_n know_v where_o that_o place_n be_v but_o moses_n assign_v it_o to_o a_o mountain_n and_o that_o be_v by_o force_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o god_n guide_v he_o thereto_o see_v he_o can_v say_v upon_o a_o mountain_n shall_v my_o temple_n be_v build_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o name_v not_o mount_n zion_n but_o yet_o we_o see_v

of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n again_o here_o the_o two_o tribe_n of_o isachar_n and_o zabulon_n be_v commend_v for_o exhort_v folk_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v a_o praise_n well_o

be_v that_o we_o must_v as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v endeavour_n to_o draw_v all_o man_n on_o the_o earth_n unto_o god_n that_o all_o man_n may_v serve_v he_o and_o worship_n he_o with_o one_o

of_o they_o unto_o we_o be_v more_o than_o need_v we_o see_v the_o contrary_n for_o although_o the_o figure_n be_v past_a &_o utter_o abolish_v by_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o do_v the_o substance_n of_o they_o continue_v still_o with_o we_o so_o as_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v still_o for_o what_o purpose_n god_n will_v have_v y_z e_o jew_n forbear_v the_o meat_n that_o be_v forbid_v they_o here_o see_v then_o that_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o force_n remain_v common_a to_o we_o which_o serve_v for_o they_o it_o be_v not_o unprofitable_a for_o we_o to_o

which_o be_v worthy_a to_o have_v be_v prefer_v than_o we_o 4.1_o â_o pet._n 1.10_o &_o gal._n 4.1_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n keep_v they_o under_o like_a little_a child_n whereas_o nowadays_o he_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o with_o perfect_a man_n of_o full_a age_n and_o growth_n see_v then_o that_o god_n use_v such_o goodness_n and_o liberality_n towards_o we_o have_v we_o not_o

have_v a_o care_n to_o be_v undefiled_a and_o to_o have_v such_o a_o stay_n of_o themselves_o as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v stain_v with_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o the_o world_n god_n intent_n than_o be_v to_o give_v they_o as_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o exercise_n to_o keep_v they_o the_o better_a in_o ure_n we_o know_v how_o man_n do_v take_v too_o large_a scope_n in_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o whereas_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o life_n do_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o take_v pain_n and_o to_o discharge_v themselves_o of_o their_o duty_n when_o they_o take_v

themselves_o in_o the_o turn_n of_o a_o hand_n as_o a_o man_n may_v wonder_v to_o see_v their_o excess_n of_o mirth_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n y_fw-fr t_o god_n will_v have_v his_o people_n put_v in_o mind_n of_o the_o soberness_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o use_v in_o our_o eat_n and_o drink_v all_o our_o life_n long_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v we_o for_o after_o

beside_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o our_o lord_n shall_v exercise_v his_o people_n in_o that_o behalf_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v he_o deliver_v they_o instruction_n to_o warn_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o pure_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o to_o put_v they_o always_o in_o mind_n thereof_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v that_o god_n tell_v the_o jew_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v choose_v they_o to_o be_v his_o own_o inheritance_n they_o ought_v to_o dedicate_v themselves_o to_o he_o even_o in_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o outward_a conversation_n and_o to_o abstain_v from_o worldly_a corruption_n not_o intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o vice_n of_o the_o heathen_a after_o our_o common_a manner_n which_o we_o know_v to_o be_v always_o tend_v unto_o evil_n god_n will_n be_v to_o hold_v they_o in_o that_o awe_n and_o now_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o need_v for_o why_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o ceremony_n continue_v not_o nowadays_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v we_o in_o great_a liberty_n than_o the_o father_n be_v under_o the_o law_n 2.14_o col._n 2.14_o but_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o pith_n of_o it_o put_v away_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v sober_o under_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n cut_v off_o all_o corruption_n and_o abridge_n ourselves_o of_o all_o liberty_n of_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o world_n what_o though_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v bear_v with_o themselves_o too_o much_o shall_v we_o do_v so_o too_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v his_o temple_n so_o as_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n 1_o 1._o cor._n 6._o ââ_o rom._n 1â_n â_o 1._o cor._n 5_o 1â_n &_o â_o cor._n â_o 1_o and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v as_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v offer_v up_o both_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n unto_o he_o daily_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o cast_v ourselves_o into_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o the_o world_n without_o any_o regard_n how_o to_o repress_v it_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o the_o ceremony_n be_v no_o long_o in_o ure_n yet_o the_o law_n in_o itself_o be_v not_o do_v away_o but_o that_o god_n injoin_v

see_v what_o privilege_n god_n give_v we_o let_v the_o same_o move_v we_o the_o more_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o free_o unto_o he_o if_o we_o compare_v ourselves_o with_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n lead_v they_o but_o as_o young_a babe_n and_o yet_o be_v they_o as_o angel_n among_o mortal_a man_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o life_n of_o abraham_n what_o a_o perfection_n of_o holiness_n shall_v we_o find_v there_o as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o you_o see_v how_o

we_o in_o these_o day_n have_v much_o further_a pre-eminence_n for_o god_n show_v himself_o full_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o may_v cry_v with_o full_a

be_v utter_o unclean_a and_o to_o be_v short_a be_v by_o nature_n curse_v &_o have_v none_o other_o heritage_n than_o death_n and_o damnation_n now_o then_o be_v it_o not_o a_o inestimable_a
