most_o excellent_a above_o all_o other_o but_o behold_v the_o people_n on_o the_o otherside_n be_v malicious_a and_o froward_a therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n shall_v say_v

that_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o naughtiness_n he_o can_v no_o long_o continue_v in_o do_v we_o good_a you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o

of_o his_o goodness_n why_o so_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o god_n offer_v man_n his_o benefit_n &_o they_o refuse_v they_o of_o a_o wilful_a frowardness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o fire_n and_o water_n shall_v meet_v together_o but_o beside_o this_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v god_n upbraid_v of_o the_o people_n with_o their_o say_n that_o their_o young_a child_n shall_v be_v a_o pray_v to_o their_o enemy_n they_o say_v he_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n yea_o even_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o you_o may_v be_v prove_v liar_n here_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o

he_o shall_v no_o more_o dwell_v among_o they_o nor_o reign_v over_o they_o so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o our_o lord_n will_v that_o the_o

therefore_o as_o now_o he_o cast_v they_o in_o the_o tooth_n as_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v unto_o we_o behold_v the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v preach_v with_o such_o

of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 11.13_o heb._n 11.13_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o

drive_v out_o of_o it_o every_o day_n yet_o possess_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o but_o now_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o abraham_n and_o we_o have_v we_o not_o

what_o shall_v i_o do_v more_o i_o have_v try_v they_o a_o number_n of_o way_n i_o have_v experience_n of_o they_o i_o have_v bear_v gentle_o with_o they_o i_o have_v chastise_v they_o and_o yet_o

of_o our_o prayer_n be_v show_v we_o here_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n faithful_o and_o second_o we_o see_v that_o danger_n ought_v to_o provoke_v we_o the_o more_o the_o more_o that_o god_n

behold_v god_n complain_v of_o we_o and_o accuse_v we_o of_o rebel_a against_o his_o mouth_n and_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o this_o rebelliousnesse_n the_o one_o be_v when_o we_o distrust_v god_n

up_o by_o this_o place_n to_o maintain_v ourselves_o by_o raise_v up_o spiritual_a seed_n in_o israel_n not_o in_o the_o visible_a israel_n or_o that_o which_o be_v according_a to_o nature_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v his_o reach_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n we_o know_v that_o nowadays_o the_o child_n must_v not_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n â—â—_o john_n â—_o â—â—_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o s._n john_n but_o of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o only_a grace_n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v pain_n and_o enforce_v ourselves_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n to_o raise_v up_o this_o spiritual_a seed_n unto_o god_n that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v preserve_v and_o increase_v more_o &_o more_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n now_o by_o the_o way_n we_o see_v what_o uprightness_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v in_o bond_n for_o because_o the_o woman_n for_o their_o part_n be_v bind_v in_o such_o wise_a it_o be_v requisite_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o mutual_a bond_n also_o on_o the_o man_n side_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o y_o e_o one_o party_n shall_v be_v bind_v and_o the_o other_o leave_v in_o in_o full_a liberty_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o place_n that_o if_o two_o party_n do_v contract_n or_o covenant_n together_o the_o one_o must_v not_o be_v greeve_v &_o the_o other_o bear_v withal_o for_o that_o be_v unjust_a and_o against_o all_o reason_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o unto_o all_o contract_n covenant_n and_o bargain_n which_o we_o be_v to_o deal_v in_o therefore_o if_o in_o bargain_v with_o a_o man_n i_o stand_v altogether_o upon_o my_o own_o advantage_n and_o be_v over_o straite_o lace_v in_o so_o do_v i_o be_o wicked_a and_o if_o i_o say_v let_v he_o look_v to_o his_o own_o profit_n if_o he_o will_v well_o but_o yet_o shall_v a_o man_n have_v so_o much_o honesty_n in_o he_o as_o not_o to_o pinch_v the_o party_n too_o much_o though_o he_o be_v able_a to_o compass_v he_o we_o think_v all_o be_v lawful_a so_o a_o man_n yield_v to_o that_o which_o we_o will_v have_v he_o oh_o say_v we_o see_v it_o be_v his_o own_o will_n to_o bind_v himself_o so_o what_o wrong_v do_v i_o to_o he_o yea_o but_o his_o agree_v to_o all_o thy_o demand_n be_v by_o

he_o howbeit_o y_o it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v in_o need_n &_o wist_v not_o how_o to_o escape_v otherwise_o let_v we_o look_v to_o it_o therefore_o y_a to_o we_o bear_v such_o a_o even_a hand_n as_o one_o man_n be_v not_o tread_v under_o foot_n by_o another_o and_o when_o there_o pass_v any_o bond_n between_o man_n and_o man_n let_v it_o be_v indifferent_a for_o both_o party_n so_o as_o either_o of_o they_o may_v feel_v himself_o relieve_v thus_o you_o see_v one_o point_n more_o which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o here_o a_o man_n may_v damaunde_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o brother_n whichsoever_o live_v to_o take_v the_o wife_n of_o he_o that_o be_v dead_a see_v that_o such_o marriage_n be_v not_o lawful_a as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o eyghteenth_fw-mi chapter_n of_o leviticus_fw-la 18.6_o 〈◊〉_d 18.6_o see_v it_o be_v incest_n for_o one_o to_o take_v his_o brother_n wife_n after_o his_o death_n how_o happen_v

as_o we_o call_v they_o but_o rather_o of_o such_o as_o be_v further_o off_o of_o kin_n and_o the_o very_a word_n itself_o also_o do_v proper_o extend_v no_o further_o than_o to_o such_o as_o may_v contract_v marriage_n together_o in_o deed_n in_o the_o example_n which_o we_o have_v afore_o allege_v the_o brethren_n which_o be_v of_o the_o first_o degree_n take_v thamar_n to_o wife_n and_o god_n root_v they_o out_o for_o their_o filthiness_n but_o the_o law_n be_v not_o yet_o make_v and_o in_o the_o east_n country_n they_o have_v no_o great_a regard_n of_o honesty_n but_o behave_v themselves_o like_o beast_n in_o marry_v in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o couple_v the_o brother_n and_o sister_n together_o like_o dog_n and_o bâ—â—hes_n there_o be_v i_o say_v such_o wickedness_n use_v in_o that_o country_n yea_o even_o among_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n in_o deed_n they_o be_v the_o person_n which_o take_v unto_o themselves_o great_a leave_n and_o

we_o see_v that_o thing_n have_v be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o square_n through_o out_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_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 unto_o they_o they_o shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o the_o magistrate_n and_o other_o justicer_n ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o use_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 point_n that_o must_v be_v come_v unto_o be_v to_o presume_v to_o bring_v man_n into_o no_o further_a subjection_n than_o the_o law_n bind_v they_o unto_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o be_v far_a 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 man_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n the_o better_a yet_o nevertheless_o if_o a_o man_n have_v rather_o sustain_v this_o reproach_n than_o to_o take_v wife_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v discharge_v thereof_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n show_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n in_o be_v grieve_v when_o the_o family_n be_v not_o maintain_v in_o israel_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o content_v to_o bear_v with_o such_o as_o can_v not_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o stoop_v to_o that_o yoke_n because_o it_o be_v so_o hard_o therefore_o if_o any_o have_v rather_o to_o suffer_v such_o shame_n than_o to_o take_v a_o wife_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o come_v to_o declare_v it_o public_o but_o we_o must_v now_o return_v unto_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o any_o carnal_a kindred_n privilege_v as_o the_o race_n and_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n be_v for_o god_n adopt_v we_o nowadays_o under_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v ingraff_v by_o faith_n into_o his_o church_n and_o so_o make_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n for_o so_o much_o therefore_o as_o the_o

y_a e_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v give_v in_o possession_n unto_o the_o people_n nowadays_o you_o e_o whole_a earth_n be_v y_z e_z dwell_v place_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n &_o although_o they_o be_v disperse_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n yet_o be_v they_o knit_v in_o one_o body_n by_o agree_v in_o one_o consent_n of_o faith_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o although_o they_o do_v it_o in_o diverse_a tongue_n yet_o it_o skill_v not_o see_v that_o oneself_o same_o spirit_n govern_v they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v all_o one_o hope_v of_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o be_v

nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o carnal_a marriage_n but_o it_o be_v beget_v of_o the_o incorruptible_a seed_n of_o god_n word_n 2.23_o 1._o pet._n 2.23_o as_o saint_n peter_n say_v and_o when_o god_n vouchsafe_v we_o his_o grace_n to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n

no_o force_n of_o we_o to_o marry_v against_o our_o will_n but_o of_o the_o win_n of_o wife_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o church_n we_o may_v always_o

what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o effect_n as_o touch_v this_o law_n and_o now_o we_o see_v that_o although_o it_o be_v no_o long_o in_o use_n yet_o may_v we_o gather_v some_o profit_n

the_o wisdom_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o &_o the_o discretion_n to_o apply_v it_o well_o unto_o our_o use_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o two_o man_n be_v at_o strife_n and_o one_o of_o their_o wife_n come_v
