order_n that_o god_n have_v set_v and_o establish_v and_o for_o a_o conclusion_n let_v we_o also_o weigh_v well_o this_o which_o moses_n add_v in_o the_o end_n namely_o that_o he_o have_v teach_v the_o jew_n all_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v to_o do_v when_o he_o say_v so_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v protest_v that_o they_o can_v not_o but_o know_v that_o they_o sin_v not_o through_o ignorance_n neither_o can_v say_v i_o take_v it_o to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v you_o know_v say_v moses_n there_o be_v no_o let_v but_o in_o yourselves_o for_o i_o for_o my_o part_n have_v be_v faithful_a full_a to_o godward_o since_o the_o time_n that_o he_o do_v put_v i_o in_o trust_n to_o instruct_v you_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o as_o he_o command_v i_o now_o therefore_o you_o can_v have_v any_o excuse_n to_o hide_v you_o withal_o and_o if_o moses_n have_v such_o a_o care_n to_o teach_v the_o people_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o earthly_a government_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o be_v yet_o more_o diligent_a in_o teach_v they_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v do_v moses_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o do_v not_o conceal_v nor_o hide_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v their_o worldly_a duty_n for_o the_o mainteyn_v of_o some_o order_n and_o human_a honesty_n among_o they_o then_o be_v it_o much_o more_o likely_a that_o he_o first_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o afterward_o show_v they_o the_o rule_n of_o good_a conversation_n and_o there_o withal_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o salvation_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o his_o people_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o nothing_o be_v conceal_v in_o that_o behalf_n but_o that_o he_o use_v a_o exquisite_a diligence_n so_o as_o he_o leave_v not_o the_o jew_n in_o doubt_n without_o due_a warrant_n how_o to_o behave_v themselves_o to_o god-ward_o now_o then_o if_o moses_n discharge_v his_o duty_n after_o that_o sort_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o sufficient_a doctrine_n to_o instruct_v the_o people_n and_o that_o he_o use_v not_o any_o shift_n to_o carry_v they_o here_o and_o there_o afterward_o come_v the_o prophet_n which_o add_v yet_o a_o great_a light_n last_o of_o all_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o then_o can_v we_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o teach_v we_o sufficient_o and_o that_o all_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n yea_o and_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o have_v give_v we_o but_o half_o a_o instruction_n can_v we_o say_v so_o no_o that_o be_v too_o villainous_a a_o blasphemy_n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o have_v our_o ear_n open_a to_o hearken_v to_o our_o god_n and_o he_o will_v be_v a_o good_a schoolmaster_n to_o we_o and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v with_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o there_o we_o have_v so_o perfect_a wisdom_n as_o no_o fault_n can_v be_v find_v with_o it_o consider_v well_o therefore_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o strain_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o may_v indever_n to_o profit_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o ignorance_n in_o we_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v through_o our_o own_o

holy_a spirit_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o not_o stop_v our_o ear_n against_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n speak_v nor_o pretend_v ignorance_n to_o excuse_v our_o naughtiness_n but_o see_v that_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v show_v we_o all_o thing_n by_o his_o word_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o it_o without_o covet_v any_o novelty_n and_o

so_o let_v we_o ponder_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n to_o the_o end_n that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v now_o give_v we_o a_o confirmation_n of_o his_o law_n and_o of_o his_o prophisy_n and_o direct_v we_o to_o the_o right_a mark_n we_o may_v take_v the_o gospel_n always_o for_o our_o guide_n in_o wait_v till_o he_o have_v gather_v we_o

know_v he_o have_v set_v it_o forth_o most_o large_o and_o abundant_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o may_v resort_v to_o he_o the_o more_o bold_o seek_v continual_o for_o the_o great_a

yet_o shall_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o go_v on_o still_o and_o why_o because_o the_o hope_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v gather_v of_o god_n former_a make_n of_o we_o to_o feel_v his_o goodness_n will_v serve_v to_o carry_v we_o over_o all_o tempest_n in_o the_o mid_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o will_v be_v as_o a_o boat_n or_o as_o a_o ship_n or_o as_o a_o bridge_n to_o convey_v we_o safe_o over_o to_o

which_o be_v have_v see_v already_o and_o here_o moses_n set_v forth_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v unto_o the_o people_n to_o the_o end_n to_o assure_v they_o of_o the_o land_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v their_o own_o and_o why_o because_o it_o have_v be_v promise_v they_o of_o god_n behold_v say_v he_o thy_o god_n mean_v not_o to_o lie_v to_o thou_o nor_o to_o beguile_v thou_o and_o therefore_o thou_o may_v assure_v thyself_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v shall_v be_v perform_v mark_v that_o for_o

which_o then_o live_v be_v bear_v thereby_o then_o be_v they_o put_v in_o mind_n that_o they_o have_v not_o deserve_v such_o a_o benefit_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o that_o it_o proceed_v whole_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v they_o to_o blame_v in_o that_o they_o have_v feel_v such_o experience_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o their_o sin_n also_o be_v so_o much_o the_o heinouser_n in_o that_o they_o acknowledge_v not_o the_o mercy_n that_o he_o have_v use_v towards_o they_o that_o then_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o mosese_n mean_v here_o but_o we_o have_v to_o

speak_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n abraham_n and_o the_o patriarch_n be_v all_o decease_a but_o god_n promise_n &_o his_o truth_n die_v not_o with_o man_n they_o have_v not_o the_o course_n of_o a_o transitoritie_n and_o flightfull_a life_n as_o we_o have_v therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o god_n have_v promise_v the_o land_n to_o abraham_n for_o he_o his_o heir_n and_o successor_n that_o shall_v descend_v of_o his_o race_n although_o abraham_n be_v rot_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o they_o that_o follow_v he_o together_o with_o all_o the_o patriarch_n be_v consume_v

be_v a_o outwear_v and_o dead_a thing_n about_o a_o two_o thousand_o year_n after_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v publish_v to_o the_o world_n and_o we_o see_v that_o many_o year_n yea_o many_o hundred_o year_n be_v pass_v since_o then_o if_o we_o shall_v measure_v god_n truth_n by_o time_n we_o may_v think_v it_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n as_o good_a as_o bury_v and_o quite_o and_o clean_o forget_v moreover_o they_o that_o first_o carry_v the_o gospel_n abroad_o be_v dead_a long_o ago_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n truth_n be_v everlasting_a and_o that_o although_o man_n be_v corruptible_a and_o pass_v and_o vanish_v away_o yet_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n abide_v always_o unappayr_v so_o as_o the_o force_n thereof_o abate_v not_o at_o all_o that_o be_v it_o say_v i_o which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n for_o although_o it_o be_v in_o old_a time_n that_o god_n speak_v to_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o although_o it_o be_v now_o long_o ago_o since_o the_o gospel_n be_v delyver_v to_o the_o apostle_n yet_o must_v we_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n thereof_o nowadays_o as_o be_v in_o full_a force_n still_o and_o that_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n 10.20_o heb._n 10.20_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v the_o way_n fresh_a by_o his_o blood_n they_o that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v despise_v the_o truth_n that_o have_v be_v manifest_v to_o their_o father_n though_o it_o be_v do_v long_a time_n before_o and_o yet_o do_v not_o god_n discover_v it_o so_o open_o to_o they_o as_o he_o do_v to_o us._n it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o then_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o way_n which_o jesus_n christ_n make_v be_v fresh_a and_o why_o say_v he_o so_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v dry_v nor_o putrify_v but_o be_v always_o fresh_a in_o remembrance_n before_o god_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v seal_v with_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n see_v then_o that_o we_o have_v such_o a_o pledge_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o forward_a to_o receive_v god_n truth_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o force_n and_o virtue_n thereof_o dure_v for_o ever_o now_o must_v we_o mark_v further_o how_o moses_n say_v here_o thy_o god_n have_v promise_v thou_o the_o land_n it_o be_v before_o thou_o possess_v it_o by_o these_o word_n he_o betoken_v that_o we_o must_v rest_v whole_o upon_o that_o which_o god_n say_v and_o not_o stand_v scan_v after_o our_o own_o fancy_n for_o if_o man_n content_v not_o themselves_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n speak_v to_o they_o where_o shall_v they_o seek_v for_o great_a certainty_n or_o when_o they_o have_v seek_v it_o where_o shall_v they_o find_v it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o too_o great_a wrong_n to_o our_o god_n when_o we_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o his_o utter_n of_o his_o will_n and_o with_o his_o warrant_n of_o the_o same_o unto_o us._n for_o if_o thereupon_o we_o be_v still_o waver_v and_o doubtful_a what_o else_o be_v such_o unbelief_n but_o a_o reply_n against_o god_n truth_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o faithful_a or_o as_o though_o he_o go_v about_o to_o abuse_v we_o by_o allure_a we_o with_o vain_a hope_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o all_o our_o life_n long_o we_o must_v content_v ourselves_o with_o god_n word_n and_o when_o we_o have_v it_o we_o must_v follow_v it_o without_o seek_v any_o further_o for_o look_v how_o many_o doubt_n and_o mistruste_v we_o conceive_v so_o many_o overthwart_a nip_v and_o privy_a upbraid_n do_v we_o give_v unto_o god_n as_o

we_o make_v it_o a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a warning_n when_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n have_v promise_v thou_o the_o land_n for_o he_o speak_v still_o in_o general_a mean_v that_o we_o must_v all_o our_o life_n long_o hold_v this_o rule_n of_o stick_v simple_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n a_o non_fw-la the_o thing_n shall_v be_v lay_v

well_o put_v of_o this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n but_o moses_n add_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o for_o the_o better_a confirm_v that_o god_n have_v as_o it_o be_v bear_v his_o people_n in_o his_o arm_n say_v that_o a_o night_n time_n he_o appear_v to_o they_o as_o in_o a_o pillar_n of_o fire_n and_o a_o daytimes_o he_o appear_v to_o they_o as_o in_o a_o cloud_n we_o know_v that_o god_n show_v of_o

for_o else_o in_o the_o night_n they_o shall_v have_v be_v flight_v with_o the_o wilderness_n which_o be_v very_o dreadful_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o god_n therefore_o do_v give_v they_o

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 neither_o night_n nor_o day_n god_n have_v ever_o forsake_v they_o so_o as_o they_o can_v not_o but_o know_v that_o he_o be_v with_o they_o and_o that_o his_o grace_n accompany_v they_o as_o he_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

of_o stumble_v again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o see_v how_o the_o faithless_a do_v fight_v against_o god_n seek_v nothing_o else_o daily_o but_o to_o overthrow_v his_o truth_n and_o to_o cause_v

let_v we_o not_o doubt_v then_o but_o that_o our_o lord_n will_v always_o maintain_v his_o church_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o show_v himself_o soothe_v fast_o although_o all_o thing_n seem_v forlorn_a

perceive_v it_o it_o shall_v seem_v now_o and_o then_o that_o all_o be_v come_v to_o nought_o like_a as_o when_o god_n make_v the_o people_n to_o turn_v back_o again_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o get_v

the_o people_n of_o israel_n confess_v as_o truth_n be_v that_o god_n choose_v of_o a_o certain_a people_n for_o himself_o be_v a_o great_a and_o singular_a privilege_n but_o very_o few_o of_o they_o

of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o thou_o unto_o this_o hour_n let_v every_o man_n examine_v himself_o how_o much_o he_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o

that_o we_o shall_v yield_v he_o obedience_n why_o so_o because_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o he_o have_v voutsafe_v to_o gather_v we_o together_o unto_o he_o to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o to_o

what_o end_n he_o have_v give_v we_o his_o sacrament_n so_o as_o we_o have_v the_o precept_n of_o his_o whole_a law_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o exercise_v of_o we_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v set_v such_o order_n among_o we_o as_o we_o now_o have_v we_o must_v know_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o all_o this_o nevertheless_o this_o briefenesse_n will_v be_v darksome_a if_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v better_a when_o we_o consider_v how_o god_n have_v create_v &_o shape_v we_o and_o moreover_o make_v we_o after_o his_o own_o

that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o for_o see_v he_o be_v our_o maker_n do_v we_o not_o owe_v he_o all_o obedience_n nay_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o namely_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n 11.9.10_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o gospel_n 11.9.10_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v guide_v by_o his_o hand_n now_o then_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v knowledge_n it_o must_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o stick_v to_o the_o pure_a religion_n that_o be_v comprehend_v in_o his_o word_n howbeit_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o when_o we_o be_v ask_v yet_o near_o wherefore_o y_a e_o promise_n of_o y_z e_z forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v give_v we_o 11.9.10_o we_o must_v answer_v alas_n it_o be_v because_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n &_o we_o shall_v be_v continual_o in_o anguish_n and_o sorrow_n of_o mind_n if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o god_n be_v content_v to_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n for_o he_o can_v love_v we_o except_o we_o be_v righteous_a and_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o

now_o you_o see_v whereunto_o the_o promise_n tend_v again_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v of_o we_o why_o he_o have_v appoint_v the_o order_n of_o prayer_n as_o well_o public_a as_o private_a it_o be_v

not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o not_o to_o have_v step_v out_o into_o any_o injury_n or_o violence_n but_o we_o must_v also_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n

you_o e_o warning_n y_o it_o be_v give_v we_o here_o be_v very_o needful_a it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o take_v away_o another_o man_n good_n or_o substance_n we_o be_v clear_a

that_o do_v his_o neighbour_n any_o hurt_n or_o harm_n be_v abominable_a before_o god_n then_o be_v it_o to_o be_v conclude_v that_o as_o i_o will_v have_v my_o own_o good_n preserve_v so_o must_v i_o be_v chary_a of_o other_o man_n also_o &_o every_o man_n must_v do_v the_o like_a on_o his_o own_o behalf_n and_o thereof_o we_o have_v a_o example_n here_o namely_o that_o if_o i_o see_v my_o

may_v come_v to_o require_v it_o and_o i_o must_v be_v ready_a to_o deliver_v it_o he_o again_o and_o moses_n add_v that_o the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v lose_v whether_o it_o be_v raiment_n money_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o you_o listen_v then_o if_o i_o find_v any_o lose_a thing_n i_o be_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o safe_a and_o to_o restore_v it_o to_o the_o owner_n and_o true_o even_o uprightness_n do_v sufficient_o lead_v we_o thereunto_o for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v lose_v either_o money_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n and_o can_v not_o find_v it_o he_o will_v make_v moan_n for_o it_o and_o that_o just_o now_o the_o more_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o our_o own_o profit_n the_o more_o let_v we_o look_v to_o be_v condemn_v when_o any_o body_n have_v sustain_v loss_n by_o our_o spitefulnesse_n or_o negligence_n i_o myself_o will_v blame_v other_o if_o they_o restore_v i_o not_o my_o own_o when_o i_o have_v lose_v it_o and_o why_o shall_v not_o i_o be_v condemn_v in_o the_o like_a case_n and_o so_o we_o see_v now_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n unless_o we_o have_v the_o exposition_n of_o they_o also_o so_o as_o we_o know_v what_o god_n mean_v and_o intend_v by_o they_o for_o if_o i_o take_v this_o say_n thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v and_o think_v it_o enough_o for_o i_o to_o have_v abstein_v from_o take_v away_o of_o other_o man_n good_n it_o be_v a_o over_o slender_a exposition_n and_o if_o i_o flatter_v myself_o and_o boast_v of_o my_o pureness_n and_o innocence_n it_o shall_v nothing_o boot_n i_o for_o god_n show_v that_o he_o have_v yet_o a_o further_a meaning_n namely_o y_o it_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o neighbour_n that_o be_v knit_v and_o unite_v together_o
great_a after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o towards_o our_o neighbour_n therefore_o if_o we_o trouble_v any_o man_n while_o he_o be_v do_v his_o duty_n and_o put_v he_o to_o

a_o man_n disquiet_v a_o nurse_n or_o a_o mother_n in_o do_v her_o duty_n towards_o her_o child_n sure_o it_o be_v double_a cruelty_n the_o instruction_n that_o we_o must_v take_v hereat_o be_v that_o every_o of_o we_o must_v strain_v himself_o to_o help_v his_o neighbour_n when_o we_o see_v they_o take_v pain_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v enjoin_v they_o we_o must_v indevor_n to_o

that_o be_v join_v unto_o we_o as_o our_o brethren_n as_o have_v be_v declare_v heretofore_o now_o it_o follow_v that_o when_o a_o man_n build_v a_o house_n he_o must_v make_v battlement_n or_o rail_n

in_o these_o country_n for_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n get_v up_o to_o y_z e_z house_n top_n to_o preach_v there_o but_o their_o house_n be_v make_v like_o tower_n that_o a_o man_n may_v walk_v up_o

for_o although_o we_o offer_v they_o no_o violence_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v discharge_v but_o every_o of_o we_o must_v look_v that_o he_o use_v no_o annoyance_n nor_o give_v any_o cause_n or_o

psal._n 50.13_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o fiftith_n psalm_n 13.96_o hebr._n 13.96_o our_o alm_n likewise_o be_v sacrifice_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n forget_v

we_o to_o do_v very_o we_o must_v be_v pure_a if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o receive_v such_o sacrifice_n at_o our_o hand_n for_o otherwise_o he_o disalow_v of_o all_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o

man_n be_v unclean_a in_o his_o own_o person_n be_v not_o all_o that_o which_o ever_o he_o touch_v defile_v also_o yes_o very_o now_o than_o your_o sacrifice_n be_v full_a of_o uncleanness_n for_o your_o hand_n be_v defile_v and_o yet_o you_o come_v to_o handle_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v holy_a therefore_o you_o do_v nought_o else_o but_o provoke_v i_o unto_o far_a anger_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v that_o if_o we_o will_v offer_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o be_v pure_a and_o clean_a that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v be_v rid_v of_o all_o our_o wicked_a thought_n and_o affection_n for_o if_o we_o be_v entangle_v in_o they_o god_n like_v not_o of_o we_o and_o how_o fair_o so_o ever_o we_o protest_v that_o we_o do_v all_o thing_n to_o please_v he_o and_o to_o apply_v we_o unto_o his_o service_n doubtless_o he_o will_v disallow_v all_o and_o again_o if_o we_o desire_v that_o our_o prayer_n supplication_n and_o alm_n shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o all_o proceed_v from_o a_o sincere_a and_o willing_a affection_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o the_o first_o place_n now_o if_o one_o demand_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v so_o cleanse_v that_o there_o shall_v remain_v no_o blemish_n in_o he_o we_o answer_v hereunto_o that_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a we_o can_v come_v unto_o such_o perfection_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v tend_v thereunto_o for_o we_o be_v not_o excuse_v so_o as_o we_o shall_v always_o abide_v and_o settle_v in_o our_o filthiness_n therefore_o every_o one_o of_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v full_a of_o uncleanness_n must_v enforce_v himself_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o cleanse_v himself_o and_o labour_n to_o come_v unto_o a_o perfect_a pureness_n when_o we_o be_v so_o affect_v and_o have_v this_o desire_n in_o we_o than_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o accept_v our_o sacrifice_n although_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v accept_v and_o why_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n supply_v that_o which_o be_v want_v in_o we_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 13.15_o hebr._n 13.15_o that_o it_o be_v through_o he_o that_o we_o offer_v prayer_n and_o thanks_n give_v and_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n unto_o god_n you_o see_v then_o in_o what_o sort_n the_o pureness_n of_o our_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v esteem_v to_o wit_n if_o they_o be_v water_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o their_o stain_n but_o in_o any_o wise_a he_o which_o endevour_v to_o serve_v god_n must_v examine_v himself_o and_o know_v his_o own_o filthynesse_n and_o uncleanness_n he_o must_v enforce_v himself_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o it_o for_o if_o we_o double_v with_o god_n he_o will_v dislike_v of_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n and_o although_o man_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o we_o do_v more_o than_o our_o duty_n yet_o questionless_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n all_o shall_v be_v hold_v for_o abominable_a and_o herewithal_o also_o let_v we_o note_v that_o god_n reprove_v all_o subtle_a deal_n when_o we_o think_v to_o paint_v forth_o our_o case_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o to_o blear_v the_o eye_n of_o god_n and_o that_o by_o so_o do_v we_o do_v but_o double_v our_o fault_n as_o be_v declare_v unto_o we_o by_o this_o text_n therefore_o if_o we_o bring_v unto_o god_n any_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o our_o protest_v that_o we_o will_v not_o offer_v unto_o he_o any_o unclean_a sacrifice_n be_v but_o a_o set_n of_o some_o fair_a colour_n on_o the_o matter_n our_o lord_n say_v still_o the_o price_n of_o the_o dog_n and_o the_o dog_n be_v all_o one_o the_o hire_n of_o a_o whore_n and_o the_o whoredom_n be_v alike_o unto_o i_o as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o we_o must_v take_v away_o all_o the_o appurtenance_n of_o evil_a for_o if_o we_o retain_v any_o thing_n of_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v always_o condemn_v what_o must_v we_o do_v then_o we_o must_v walk_v upright_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o god_n hate_v so_o much_o as_o a_o double_a heart_n 12.3_o psal._n 12.3_o as_o the_o scripture_n say_v sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v every_o man_n enter_v into_o himself_o &_o let_v we_o make_v good_a trial_n of_o ourselves_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o flatter_v not_o ne_o harden_v not_o ourselves_o in_o our_o vain_a pretence_n and_o imagination_n but_o when_o we_o find_v that_o there_o be_v any_o stain_n of_o wickedness_n in_o we_o which_o

lord_n i_o see_v full_a well_o that_o there_o be_v many_o wicked_a defilemente_n in_o i_o so_o that_o when_o i_o approach_v unto_o thy_o majesty_n i_o be_o utter_o confound_v but_o lord_n i_o come_v and_o offer_v unto_o thou_o my_o heart_n in_o sacrifice_n which_o thou_o know_v to_o be_v heavy_a because_o i_o see_v myself_o bespot_v with_o such_o a_o vice_n when_o god_n shall_v once_o perceive_v

this_o anguish_n of_o heart_n which_o we_o have_v for_o be_v incline_v unto_o any_o wickedness_n and_o for_o offend_v of_o god_n be_v the_o true_a sword_n wherewith_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v unto_o god_n â—_o rom._n 12._o â—_o i_o mean_v the_o reasonable_a sacrifice_n now_o if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o bring_v unto_o god_n any_o feign_a thing_n what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o if_o we_o intermeddle_v he_o with_o our_o iniquity_n as_o there_o be_v many_o which_o give_v alm_n but_o whereof_o of_o their_o spoil_n when_o they_o have_v peel_v and_o rob_v they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o god_n will_v be_v appease_v if_o they_o bestow_v some_o part_n of_o the_o booty_n upon_o he_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o beastly_a mock_n of_o god_n as_o be_v this_o when_o

therefore_o let_v we_o diligent_o note_v y_o it_o which_o moses_n say_v in_o this_o place_n namely_o that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v abominable_a in_o y_z e_z sight_n of_o god_n it_o be_v too_o much_o that_o we_o have_v so_o offend_v already_o though_o we_o add_v not_o a_o second_o fault_n if_o one_o through_o extortion_n &_o wrong_n deal_v scratch_n unto_o himself_o another_o man_n good_n he_o be_v already_o in_o too_o too_o great_a a_o fault_n but_o if_o he_o think_v to_o dally_v in_o such_o sort_n with_o
force_v a_o sale_n thereof_o and_o he_o shall_v withal_o surrender_v i_o his_o title_n and_o a_o man_n will_v make_v himself_o believe_v that_o he_o may_v wash_v his_o hand_n as_o a_o innocent_a when_o he_o have_v do_v all_o this_o what_o say_v he_o i_o lend_v my_o money_n and_o when_o it_o be_v not_o pay_v i_o again_o i_o buy_v such_o a_o piece_n of_o land_n and_o if_o you_o will_v inquire_v further_o of_o the_o matter_n why_o it_o be_v surrender_v unto_o i_o yea_o but_o be_v it_o do_v of_o the_o party_n own_o free_a accord_n when_o i_o hold_v the_o poor_a man_n by_o the_o throat_n and_o

then_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o stand_v altogether_o on_o the_o word_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o before_o god_n we_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o any_o extortion_n that_o we_o have_v not_o more_o than_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o nor_o rake_v unto_o ourselves_o other_o man_n good_n for_o oftentimes_o man_n will_v take_v even_o the_o most_o honest_a title_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o you_o will_v think_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o holiness_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o will_v those_o pinch_v a_o man_n much_o more_o than_o the_o gain_n will_v which_o a_o man_n may_v lawful_o take_v and_o we_o see_v how_o many_o invention_n be_v frame_v in_o this_o behalf_n and_o which_o we_o can_v at_o this_o time_n handle_v to_o the_o full_a and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o be_v not_o so_o well_o know_v as_o it_o be_v but_o what_o all_o they_o which_o know_v how_o to_o make_v their_o gain_n be_v great_a clark_n herein_o yea_o to_o dally_v with_o god_n and_o to_o find_v out_o for_o themselves_o shroud_a sheet_n whereas_o they_o will_v never_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a point_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n namely_o that_o when_o it_o be_v demand_v whether_o all_o usury_n be_v lawful_a we_o must_v not_o stick_v simple_o unto_o this_o word_n usury_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o the_o intent_n and_o meaning_n of_o god_n be_v but_o to_o know_v this_o the_o better_a we_o must_v resort_v unto_o that_o equity_n which_o be_v show_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o law_n yea_o and_o we_o hear_v what_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n tell_v we_o 7.12_o matt._n 7.12_o namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o do_v unto_o other_o but_o what_o we_o will_v have_v they_o to_o do_v unto_o us._n this_o say_v he_o be_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o the_o prophet_n no_o doubt_n then_o but_o that_o this_o forbid_v of_o usury_n be_v comprise_v also_o in_o these_o word_n that_o we_o do_v not_o unto_o other_o but_o what_o we_o will_v have_v they_o to_o do_v unto_o us._n now_o then_o instead_o of_o ask_v counsel_n how_o to_o excuse_v ourselves_o before_o god_n let_v every_o man_n examine_v the_o matter_n thus_o go_v to_o if_o i_o be_v in_o this_o man_n case_n will_v i_o have_v a_o

now_o if_o a_o man_n thus_o condemn_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o proper_a fact_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o what_o need_v we_o then_o ask_v either_o this_o or_o that_o and_o moreover_o if_o we_o

yea_o and_o so_o absolve_v that_o this_o law_n shall_v not_o trouble_v our_o wit_n about_o the_o scan_n of_o the_o form_n of_o the_o word_n thereof_o but_o we_o will_v stand_v steadfast_o upon_o this_o ground_n that_o god_n mean_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v his_o due_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o rob_v spoil_n and_o devour_v other_o man_n good_n and_o let_v we_o note_v further_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o not_o to_o have_v rake_v our_o neighbour_n good_n unto_o we_o by_o guile_n but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o help_v and_o succour_v he_o therefore_o so_o little_a leave_n have_v we_o to_o spoil_v our_o neighbour_n of_o his_o good_n that_o if_o we_o help_v he_o not_o in_o his_o need_n we_o be_v guilty_a of_o theft_n before_o god_n if_o

again_o let_v we_o note_v that_o usury_n sometime_o be_v more_o to_o be_v condemn_v in_o a_o small_a profit_n than_o in_o a_o great_a this_o i_o say_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o

thief_n than_o of_o a_o small_a pelt_a thief_n i_o will_v have_v no_o contention_n about_o the_o word_n but_o i_o say_v there_o be_v great_a wickedness_n show_v sometime_o in_o the_o reap_v of_o small_a profit_n than_o in_o a_o great_a gain_n and_o why_o for_o there_o may_v be_v a_o rich_a man_n which_o be_v no_o necessity_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o ready_a

be_v which_o think_v themselves_o wise_a enough_o to_o judge_v &_o receive_v no_o more_o of_o god_n word_n than_o be_v to_o their_o own_o like_n let_v we_o beware_v of_o such_o devilish_a pride_n

themselves_o with_o many_o unprofitable_a question_n and_o think_v that_o they_o have_v do_v much_o when_o they_o show_v themselves_o subtle_a but_o god_n will_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v profit_v we_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v express_v in_o our_o life_n let_v we_o remember_v those_o two_o point_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o experience_n that_o our_o lord_n protest_v not_o in_o

because_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o to_o be_v graff_v into_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o like_v as_o in_o old_a time_n he_o declare_v by_o circumcision_n that_o the_o jew_n

which_o be_v keep_v by_o moses_n when_o all_o these_o thing_n say_v he_o be_v come_v upon_o thou_o whether_o be_v be_v the_o blessing_n or_o the_o curse_n he_o set_v the_o blessing_n foremost_a to_o

deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o our_o kind_n he_o shall_v be_v rough_a unto_o we_o at_o the_o first_o but_o he_o proove_v whether_o he_o may_v win_v we_o by_o fair_a mean_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v always_o utter_v his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v first_o see_v the_o blessing_n and_o have_v experience_n of_o they_o 30.9_o psal._n 30.9_o and_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o be_v god_n call_v gracious_a liberal_a long_o suffer_v and_o slow_a to_o anger_v this_o word_n therefore_o must_v be_v well_o weigh_v for_o moses_n show_v what_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v toward_o we_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o handle_v we_o gentle_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o take_v not_o any_o pleasure_n in_o deal_v with_o we_o roughlie_o thus_o much_o for_o one_o point_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o mean_v to_o do_v the_o jew_n to_o understand_v that_o see_v they_o have_v have_v experience_n as_o well_o of_o the_o one_o as_o of_o the_o other_o that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o well_o of_o god_n favour_n and_o of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o as_o also_o of_o his_o punishment_n and_o correction_n the_o same_o aught_o to_o give_v they_o the_o more_o light_n and_o confirm_v they_o the_o better_a in_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v as_o for_o example_n the_o jew_n be_v teach_v that_o if_o they_o serve_v god_n and_o obey_v he_o he_o will_v keep_v they_o as_o his_o flock_n and_o have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o they_o and_o as_o it_o be_v dandle_v they_o in_o his_o lap_n and_o bestow_v all_o his_o richesse_n upon_o they_o and_o final_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o they_o can_v wish_v and_o likewise_o they_o be_v threaten_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n that_o if_o they_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o be_v wilful_a and_o froward_a against_o he_o they_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o feel_v his_o hand_n against_o they_o and_o like_a as_o they_o have_v fight_v against_o he_o so_o he_o also_o will_v fight_v against_o they_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o threaten_n be_v declare_v unto_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o blessing_n and_o they_o care_v neither_o for_o the_o one_o nor_o for_o the_o other_o but_o play_v the_o brute_n beast_n and_o take_v leave_v to_o deal_v wicked_o insomuch_o that_o when_o god_n chastise_v they_o they_o regard_v it_o not_o nevertheless_o in_o the_o end_n it_o must_v bring_v they_o to_o consideration_n of_o themselves_o when_o they_o make_v comparison_n after_o this_o manner_n as_o how_o god_n have_v verify_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o show_v it_o as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_n that_o he_o have_v not_o say_v in_o vain_a unto_o we_o i_o will_v bless_v you_o if_o you_o walk_v in_o my_o obedience_n 30.9_o we_o have_v perceive_v it_o by_o experience_n again_o as_o touch_v the_o threaten_n he_o have_v

that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o moses_n mean_v in_o say_v god_n chastise_v of_o you_o when_o you_o have_v do_v amiss_o be_v not_o the_o only_a way_n whereby_o he_o will_v instruct_v you_o in_o

thou_o turn_v again_o with_o all_o thy_o affection_n unto_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n to_o obey_v he_o he_o will_v then_o have_v pity_n on_o thou_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o the_o people_n shall_v

which_o thing_n saint_n peter_n allege_v also_o and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a say_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v serve_v we_o to_o great_a purpose_n for_o we_o be_v abash_v when_o we_o

the_o infidel_n which_o belong_v no_o whit_n unto_o he_o it_o seem_v strange_a but_o we_o must_v note_v what_o i_o have_v allege_v afore_o namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n acknowledge_v we_o
