to_o our_o fleshly_a and_o earthly_a understanding_n now_o final_o moses_n show_v the_o unthankfulness_n of_o the_o world_n in_o seek_v new_a god_n and_o in_o convey_v over_o of_o the_o majesty_n of_o

the_o people_n be_v bear_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n before_o their_o departure_n out_o of_o egypt_n god_n have_v say_v unto_o abraham_n this_o land_n shall_v be_v thou_o and_o thy_o

of_o their_o work_n mark_v that_o for_o a_o special_o point_n and_o god_n tell_v we_o also_o that_o he_o term_v the_o thing_n by_o the_o name_n of_o hire_n recompense_n &_o wage_n which_o he_o give_v we_o only_o of_o his_o own_o free_a liberality_n without_o be_v bind_v thereto_o by_o any_o kind_n of_o mean_n and_o without_o any_o desert_n at_o all_o at_o our_o hand_n and_o why_o to_o the_o

payment_n or_o admit_v for_o any_o recompense_n and_o this_o we_o see_v even_o in_o abraham_n himself_o 17.1_o gen._n 17.1_o for_o before_o he_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o god_n say_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o thy_o abundant_a recompense_n abraham_n i_o have_v give_v thou_o this_o land_n i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o i_o will_v be_v thy_o

of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o when_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v sacrifice_v his_o son_n isaac_n our_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v bless_v my_o servant_n abraham_n because_o he_o have_v fear_v i_o and_o see_v he_o have_v not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n for_o the_o love_n of_o i_o i_o will_v multiply_v my_o blessing_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o be_v say_v afore_o but_o god_n give_v so_o much_o the_o great_a beauty_n to_o his_o goodness_n of_o purpose_n to_o strengthen_v abraham_n heart_n not_o that_o he_o intend_v to_o exalt_v abraham_n desert_n that_o he_o may_v presume_v of_o himself_o but_o to_o make_v he_o know_v my_o god_n have_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n give_v i_o the_o thing_n y_fw-fr t_o he_o promise_v i_o i_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o it_o long_o ago_o and_o now_o he_o show_v that_o he_o accept_v my_o service_n in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o perform_v the_o promise_n that_o he_o make_v to_o i_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n where_o god_n behight_v we_o recompense_v we_o must_v not_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o we_o deserve_v aught_o or_o that_o our_o work_n be_v of_o any_o value_n or_o that_o god_n be_v any_o thing_n bind_v unto_o we_o but_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o quicken_v we_o up_o &_o to_o hearten_v we_o the_o better_a to_o serve_v he_o in_o as_o much_o as_o our_o
name_n shall_v be_v magnify_v in_o all_o age_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n that_o it_o decay_v not_o with_o we_o but_o continue_v still_o unappayr_v and_o flourish_v and_o reign_v even_o after_o we_o be_v dead_a the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o he_o intend_v to_o quicken_v up_o the_o jew_n to_o serve_v god_n with_o the_o better_a courage_n by_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o deliverance_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v for_o they_o for_o needs_o must_v they_o have_v be_v too_o unthankful_a if_o that_o have_v not_o provoke_v they_o to_o serve_v god_n now_o then_o the_o intent_n of_o moses_n be_v that_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v declare_v the_o law_n shall_v not_o only_o endeavour_v themselves_o to_o serve_v god_n during_o their_o own_o life_n but_o also_o find_v the_o mean_n that_o their_o child_n and_o successor_n shall_v follow_v they_o in_o the_o same_o trace_n and_o this_o lesson_n belong_v to_o we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o they_o for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n call_v we_o with_o the_o same_o condition_n not_o only_o that_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v serve_v and_o honour_v he_o to_o our_o life_n end_n but_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o care_n to_o cause_v they_o that_o come_v after_o we_o to_o do_v the_o like_a very_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o discharge_v themselves_o in_o that_o behalf_n but_o yet_o be_v we_o bind_v unto_o it_o and_o there_o will_v be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o our_o endeavour_n therefore_o let_v every_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o himself_o and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o have_v serve_v god_n so_o long_o as_o we_o ourselves_o live_v but_o that_o we_o must_v also_o findy_a y_o e_o mean_n that_o his_o name_n may_v continue_v for_o ever_o and_o that_o his_o truth_n may_v always_o bee_n know_v so_o as_o although_o we_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o that_o come_v after_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o our_o

special_o they_o y_z it_o have_v child_n ought_v to_o think_v that_o it_o be_v they_o to_o who_o this_o warning_n be_v give_v true_a it_o be_v that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v bind_v thereto_o for_o himself_o yea_o and_o we_o must_v teach_v even_o the_o most_o stranger_a so_o as_o the_o man_n need_v not_o to_o be_v my_o son_n or_o my_o nephew_n or_o my_o kinsman_n who_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o cause_n to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o religion_n that_o i_o be_o of_o but_o yet_o they_o which_o have_v child_n ought_v to_o consider_v that_o they_o shall_v yield_v account_n for_o it_o if_o they_o do_v not_o what_o they_o can_v to_o hold_v they_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o to_o see_v they_o so_o instruct_v and_o establish_v in_o

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o place_n where_o moses_n say_v if_o thy_o child_n ask_v hereafter_o what_o these_o commandment_n statute_n and_o ordinance_n mean_v now_o there_o be_v also_o a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o moses_n intend_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o obey_v he_o because_o they_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o his_o mighty_a hand_n therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v bethink_v yourselves_o well_o of_o the_o good_a which_o your_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v your_o redeemer_n he_o have_v smite_v the_o realm_n of_o egypt_n a_o people_n that_o do_v set_v great_o by_o themselves_o yea_o and_o which_o be_v rich_a and_o wealthy_a and_o where_o be_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o pomp_n and_o glory_n to_o the_o worldward_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o your_o god_n have_v love_v you_o so_o dear_o that_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v the_o egyptian_n for_o your_o sake_n but_o he_o have_v smite_v they_o with_o plague_n and_o pour_v out_o such_o vengeance_n upon_o they_o as_o be_v horrible_a to_o think_v of_o he_o have_v stretch_v out_o his_o strong_a arm_n to_o bring_v you_o to_o this_o land_n which_o he_o promise_v to_o your_o father_n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o so_o gracious_a and_o liberal_a towards_o you_o and_o prevent_v you_o of_o purpose_n to_o be_v your_o father_n be_v it_o not_o reason_n that_o you_o shall_v give_v yourselves_o to_o he_o all_o your_o life_n long_o and_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o at_o leastwise_o show_v that_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o so_o great_a and_o inestimable_a benefit_n yes_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v negligent_a in_o keep_v god_n law_n moses_n renew_v the_o rememberaunce_n thereof_o and_o set_v their_o deliverance_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a mind_a and_o consider_v that_o they_o

that_o the_o jew_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o egypt_n he_o mean_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o shoule_fw-mi they_o out_o from_o all_o other_o nation_n special_o by_o assign_v

and_o have_v hold_v themselves_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n because_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v intermingle_v with_o y_z e_z infidel_n but_o make_v a_o several_a nation_n of_o they_o

the_o father_n shall_v help_v their_o child_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o father_n ought_v not_o to_o â—ary_a for_o that_o but_o if_o they_o see_v their_o child_n to_o be_v despiser_n of_o god_n

to_o be_v disappoint_v but_o will_v find_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v whatsoever_o he_o think_v profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o appoint_v not_o mortal_a

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

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

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

question_n where_o it_o be_v demand_v how_o it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n shall_v say_v one_o thing_n and_o mean_v a_o other_o for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n in_o somuch_o as_o he_o

there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n in_o they_o god_n have_v say_v to_o abraham_n thy_o seed_n shall_v be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n but_o about_o afoure_n hundred_o year_n hence_o i_o will_v perform_v the_o

will_v make_v clean_a riddaunce_n of_o this_o people_n it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o people_n have_v deserve_v to_o be_v utter_o destroy_v for_o see_v they_o be_v past_a amendment_n 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

we_o see_v yet_o better_a the_o thing_n which_o i_o touch_v afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o cut_v off_o of_o moses_n or_o from_o shut_v he_o out_o that_o he_o

will_v be_v restrain_v by_o it_o now_o than_o we_o see_v these_o two_o question_n well_o resoluedâ—_n and_o the_o profit_n that_o redound_v of_o this_o text_n namely_o first_o that_o the_o force_n 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

the_o hear_n of_o his_o threat_n for_o he_o utter_v his_o judgement_n unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v prevent_v they_o for_o

we_o ought_v to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o if_o god_n find_v we_o repentaunt_a for_o our_o sin_n he_o will_v ever_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v all_o that_o we_o have_v commit_v let_v

all_o reverence_n heerewithall_o it_o be_v show_v we_o also_o that_o we_o must_v maintain_v our_o neighbour_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v and_o abstain_v from_o all_o violence_n for_o if_o

if_o we_o spare_v not_o our_o neighbour_n be_v it_o not_o a_o set_n of_o ourselves_o utter_o against_o god_n here_o then_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o all_o violence_n and_o

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 be_v a_o let_v to_o the_o annoyance_n that_o be_v do_v to_o other_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o be_v peaceable_a but_o god_n require_v yet_o more_o of_o his_o child_n namely_o that_o they_o shall_v procure_v peace_n towards_o other_o therefore_o whensoever_o any_o man_n fall_v to_o quareling_n or_o offer_v wrong_v to_o his_o neighbour_n let_v we_o look_v that_o we_o set_v ourselves_o against_o he_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v i_o know_v that_o every_o man_n be_v not_o arm_v with_o the_o sword_n neither_o may_v every_o of_o we_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o redress_v wrong_n

that_o we_o help_v to_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n that_o be_v the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o judge_n and_o

and_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n do_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n mean_v in_o say_v that_o at_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o god_n create_v but_o one_o man_n namely_o male_a and_o

that_o he_o which_o covet_v to_o have_v two_o wyve_n mar_v all_o and_o regard_v not_o the_o keep_n of_o wedlock_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o god_n have_v ordain_v it_o then_o be_v it_o whoredom_n and_o

nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o go_v to_o work_v after_o that_o fashion_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o bethink_v we_o how_o the_o apostle_n say_v 10.31_o heb._n 10.31_o that_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a

4.14_o say_v if_o righteousness_n depend_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n then_o be_v the_o promise_n to_o no_o purpose_n saint_n paul_n in_o that_o place_n touch_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o

that_o manner_n speak_v he_o thereof_o as_o well_o to_o the_o roman_n as_o to_o the_o galathian_o 3._o rom._n 4._o gal._n 3._o and_o so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n denounce_v we_o to_o be_v all_o

we_o two_o thing_n to_o mark_v the_o one_o be_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o this_o foresay_a sentence_n to_o damn_v we_o all_o yea_o even_o the_o holy_a saint_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o no_o man_n have_v satisfy_v god_n law_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o all_o condemn_v for_o if_o the_o holy_a father_n which_o have_v a_o angelical_a holiness_n in_o this_o world_n be_v notwithstanding_o faulty_a before_o god_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o now_o make_v comparison_n between_o we_o and_o they_o how_o far_o off_o be_v we_o from_o the_o holiness_n of_o abraham_n the_o pureness_n of_o david_n the_o soundness_n of_o job_n and_o the_o perfectness_n of_o daniel_n when_o these_o may_v be_v condemn_v what_o shall_v we_o be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o shrink_v in_o our_o horn_n and_o let_v every_o of_o we_o keep_v his_o mouth_n shut_v 3.19_o rom._n 3.19_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n when_o he_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o thing_n then_o which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o god_n have_v bereave_v we_o of_o all_o righteousness_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o rid_v we_o of_o all_o presumption_n &_o pride_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o pretend_v to_o come_v to_o account_v with_o he_o to_o bind_v he_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v willing_o condemn_v ourselves_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n now_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v the_o remedy_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v which_o be_v that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n for_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v he_o hang_v upon_o tree_n 3.13_o gal._n 3.13_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o in_o the_o one_o and_o twentieth_o chapter_n that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v hang_v upon_o tree_n be_v all_o accurse_a now_o when_o god_n make_v that_o law_n know_v he_o not_o what_o he_o have_v ordain_v afore_o concern_v his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v to_o be_v hang_v on_o tree_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o unchaungeable_a decree_n make_v even_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v now_o match_v this_o sentence_n with_o the_o other_o which_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o one_o and_o twentyth_n chapter_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o say_n you_o see_v well_o that_o for_o want_n of_o perform_v they_o we_o be_v confound_v and_o of_o

in_o vain_a then_o must_v we_o now_o be_v needs_o set_v free_a what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v curse_v without_o cause_n and_o yet_o no_o fruit_n redound_v thereof_o to_o we_o that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o blessedness_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o we_o not_o know_v wherefore_o but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v unprofitable_a now_o then_o see_v that_o the_o curse_n which_o jefus_fw-la christ_n suffer_v in_o his_o own_o person_n be_v not_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n let_v we_o know_v that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v

his_o dwell_n in_o rest_n be_v that_o reason_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v such_o change_n to_o happen_v as_o they_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n

we_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o provoke_v not_o his_o wrath_n against_o we_o be_v such_o sort_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o whereas_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v marry_v a_o wife_n and_o

deprive_v of_o the_o wife_n the_o he_o think_v to_o have_v and_o the_o wife_n in_o like_a case_n of_o their_o husband_n we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v give_v over_o to_o all_o unchastitie_n and_o god_n must_v needs_o yield_v they_o their_o reward_n according_o david_n himself_o be_v not_o spare_v in_o this_o case_n 12.12_o 2._o sam._n 12.12_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o thou_o

must_v needs_o be_v kindle_v against_o we_o &_o without_o comparison_n much_o more_o grievous_o than_o against_o the_o silly_a ignorant_a and_o unbelieve_a sort_n see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v god_n

yea_o even_o perfect_o and_o in_o very_a substance_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o shadow_n or_o figure_n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v full_o reveil_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

and_o be_v so_o honour_v of_o we_o that_o we_o stick_v thorough_o to_o he_o and_o rest_n whole_o upon_o he_o now_o the_o jew_n deny_v he_o and_o utter_o disclaim_v he_o by_o mean_a whereof_o they_o

therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n allege_v this_o text_n 10.19_o rom._n 10.19_o say_v see_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v provoke_v god_n wrath_n by_o refuse_v to_o embrace_v his_o

by_o and_o by_o after_z y_z e_z death_n of_o josua_n you_o see_v then_o how_o god_n suffer_v above_o eighteen_o hundred_o year_n to_o pass_v wait_v still_o for_o some_o amendment_n not_o that_o he_o

by_o all_o these_o circumstance_n and_o because_o it_o behoove_v the_o people_n of_o old_a time_n to_o know_v that_o moses_n speak_v not_o in_o his_o own_o person_n but_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o

shall_v have_v speak_v thus_o to_o the_o people_n which_o be_v then_o scatter_v asunder_o you_o wretched_a people_n why_o hold_v you_o not_o yourselves_o under_o the_o protection_n of_o your_o god_n see_v he_o have_v once_o call_v you_o and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v your_o head_n and_o will_v have_v you_o to_o be_v his_o body_n you_o have_v see_v he_o upon_o mount_n pharan_n that_o be_v to_o

understand_v that_o see_v he_o have_v approve_v and_o authorise_v his_o law_n by_o the_o visible_a sign_n and_o miracle_n which_o be_v see_v at_o y_z t_z time_n we_o at_o this_o day_n ought_v to_o
