thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v that_o moses_n protest_v that_o he_o come_v not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n nor_o set_v up_o

for_o god_n have_v other_o man_n of_o war_n he_o will_v arm_v the_o wasp_n against_o they_o now_o sure_o this_o may_v seem_v strange_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n for_o see_v that_o god_n intend_v to_o

and_o to_o swallow_v they_o up_o why_o work_v he_o not_o after_o some_o other_o fashion_n than_o by_o send_v of_o hornet_n nay_o hereby_o he_o mean_v to_o show_v first_o that_o he_o have_v all_o

and_o have_v all_o praise_n give_v unto_o he_o furthermore_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o that_o we_o know_v not_o why_o god_n have_v prefer_v we_o before_o other_o for_o it_o be_v only_o he_o that_o

they_o keep_v aloof_o from_o god_n and_o be_v so_o full_a of_o hypocrisy_n that_o they_o take_v vice_n to_o be_v virtue_n and_o which_o worse_a be_v do_v sooth_n themselves_o in_o their_o vice_n filth_n and_o wretchedness_n but_o the_o faithful_a be_v well_o waken_v do_v consider_v what_o god_n justice_n be_v after_o they_o have_v well_o examine_v themselves_o they_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o their_o fault_n and_o without_o flatter_v of_o themselves_o they_o take_v god_n word_n to_o they_o to_o discover_v all_o the_o naughtiness_n in_o they_o whereby_o they_o know_v how_o to_o condemn_v themselves_o in_o good_a earnest_n &_o they_o hinder_v not_o themselves_o through_o any_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o when_o god_n come_v to_o the_o faithful_a they_o acknowledge_v their_o own_o misdeed_n and_o hate_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o when_o god_n have_v reform_v they_o so_o as_o they_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o they_o by_o his_o holy_a ghost_n they_o father_n all_o upon_o his_o free_a goodness_n know_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o thing_n in_o they_o worthy_a to_o be_v make_v account_n of_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v herewithal_o that_o since_o our_o lord_n

day_n whereby_o he_o have_v willing_o bind_v himself_o unto_o us._n the_o word_n swear_v be_v set_v down_o because_o god_n consider_v man_n frailty_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o make_v they_o a_o single_a promise_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o but_o also_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o swear_v that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o better_a warrant_n to_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o upon_o his_o say_n in_o deed_n god_n ought_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o obey_v though_o he_o give_v but_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o yet_o he_o condescend_v to_o our_o infirmity_n and_o so_o have_v he_o vouchsafe_v to_o do_v even_o from_o the_o beginning_n so_o as_o he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o give_v we_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o he_o have_v also_o warrant_v it_o with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n wherefore_o if_o in_o these_o day_n there_o rise_v any_o doubt_n concern_v our_o salvation_n yea_o or_o but_o even_o concern_v this_o transitory_a life_n if_o we_o doubt_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o promise_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o they_o be_v warrant_v to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o cast_v any_o

yea_o and_o even_o of_o perjury_n and_o what_o a_o devilish_a blasphemy_n be_v that_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o stick_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v so_o well_o warrant_v unto_o we_o unless_o we_o will_v be_v blame_v for_o blaspheme_a god_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v moreover_o that_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o make_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a mortal_a man_n and_o confirm_v the_o same_o to_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n who_o be_v but_o weak_a creature_n though_o they_o have_v receive_v never_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o grace_n â—â—_o hebr._n â—â—_o we_o may_v much_o better_a trust_n that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o in_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o we_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o

it_o behove_v his_o favour_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v hide_v away_o in_o the_o dark_a that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n mean_v to_o show_v in_o this_o text_n in_o say_v thou_o shall_v choose_v a_o king_n from_o among_o thy_o brethren_n without_o appoint_v out_o the_o house_n as_o have_v be_v do_v afore_o but_o howesoever_o the_o case_n stand_v god_n holdingbacke_n of_o his_o favour_n for_o

therefore_o that_o god_n to_o correct_v the_o fault_n of_o his_o people_n do_v hide_v away_o his_o favour_n for_o a_o time_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o manifest_o see_v but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n 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

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

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

word_n most_o special_o and_o to_o give_v themselves_o thereto_o as_o well_o for_o show_v example_n unto_o other_o as_o also_o for_o necessity_n sake_n even_o because_o their_o charge_n be_v

or_o to_o the_o left_a for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o king_n to_o have_v a_o book_n in_o his_o palace_n for_o fashion_n sake_n it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o make_v a_o fair_a show_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v look_v yonder_o there_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n god_n book_n be_v in_o the_o king_n palace_n as_o we_o see_v how_o the_o world_n content_v itself_o continual_o with_o

whole_a power_n of_o god_n word_n whensoever_o this_o book_n come_v in_o question_n among_o they_o o_o say_v they_o it_o must_v be_v write_v in_o such_o manner_n of_o parchment_n &_o it_o must_v have_v this_o &_o that_o do_v unto_o it_o but_o these_o thing_n be_v more_o than_o childish_a and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o have_v let_v the_o chief_a thing_n alone_o let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v not_o to_o make_v a_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o relic_n to_o be_v show_v for_o a_o bravery_n that_o the_o king_n may_v have_v a_o mark_n of_o his_o dignity_n above_o all_o other_o but_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v learn_v to_o fear_v god_n now_o although_o this_o be_v speak_v express_o concern_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n as_o be_v declare_v yesterday_o yet_o be_v it_o very_o good_a reason_n that_o they_o which_o be_v magistrate_n at_o this_o day_n consider_v that_o their_o govern_n be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v set_v their_o mind_n upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n &_o indever_n to_o profit_n therein_o aim_v always_o at_o the_o mark_n which_o god_n have_v set_v before_o they_o namely_o to_o learn_v to_o fear_v he_o know_v well_o that_o unless_o they_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o they_o to_o glorify_v he_o and_o all_o thing_n within_o a_o while_n must_v needs_o go_v to_o havoc_n and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v to_o show_v we_o the_o use_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 3.17_o 2._o tim._n 3.17_o for_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n it_o be_v behooveful_a to_o make_v the_o man_n of_o god_n perfect_a in_o all_o good_a work_n therefore_o whensoever_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o hear_v it_o preach_v let_v we_o have_v this_o regard_n of_o profit_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v so_o far_o forward_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v on_o still_o all_o our_o life_n long_o a_o man_n may_v think_v it_o strange_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v learn_v to_o fear_v god_n for_o why_o shall_v a_o king_n be_v a_o novice_n when_o he_o be_v once_o choose_v ought_v he_o not_o to_o be_v well_o know_v aforehande_v to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o excellent_a virtue_n yes_o very_o but_o yet_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v learner_n still_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o learn_v perfect_o at_o the_o first_o day_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o continue_v in_o it_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n and_o yet_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o we_o have_v live_v never_o so_o long_o we_o be_v but_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o journey_n the_o thing_n then_o which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o mosese_n word_n be_v that_o when_o king_n have_v you_o e_o book_n of_o the_o law_n they_o must_v not_o keep_v it_o shut_v or_o set_v it_o out_o to_o show_v like_o a_o relic_n but_o the_o king_n must_v exercise_v himself_o in_o it_o &_o his_o read_n of_o it_o must_v not_o be_v as_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o pastime_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v read_v it_o and_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a discharge_n for_o i_o but_o it_o must_v be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o which_o be_v in_o good_a forwardness_n already_o and_o have_v serve_v god_n in_o his_o youth_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o quicken_v up_o to_o do_v so_o still_o know_v well_o that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o god_n come_v so_o near_o unto_o he_o he_o be_v the_o more_o strait_o bind_v to_o live_v virtuous_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o and_o moreover_o we_o â—ust_z every_o one_o of_o we_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o his_o own_o use_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o it_o be_v say_v likewise_o that_o they_o bow_n not_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a wherein_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v the_o true_a rule_n which_o be_v thorough_o root_v in_o we_o become_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a lodestar_n to_o we_o throughout_o all_o our_o life_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o gad_n after_o our_o own_o likinge_n and_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o but_o that_o we_o have_v not_o our_o eye_n upon_o god_n therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o all_o they_o which_o turn_v aside_o either_o one_o way_n or_o other_o do_v show_v sufficient_o by_o their_o life_n that_o they_o be_v despiser_n of_o god._n but_o will_v we_o have_v a_o good_a remedy_n to_o instruct_v we_o and_o to_o direct_v our_o life_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o shall_v abide_v continual_o in_o the_o right_a way_n let_v we_o fear_n god_n and_o this_o fear_v of_o god_n presuppose_v a_o willingness_n and_o desire_n that_o we_o have_v to_o obey_v he_o if_o a_o man_n allege_v that_o he_o fear_v god_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n regard_v not_o to_o be_v

of_o their_o horse_n for_o covetousness_n sake_n but_o here_o be_v set_v down_o a_o special_a reason_n which_o be_v that_o this_o covetousness_n of_o they_o may_v provoke_v they_o to_o go_v down_o

for_o a_o time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v forbid_v to_o have_v any_o familiarity_n with_o the_o egyptian_n his_o will_n be_v to_o have_v they_o utter_o divide_v from_o they_o because_o he_o

our_o instruction_n as_o how_o let_v we_o take_v a_o exposition_n of_o it_o out_o of_o the_o hundred_o and_o ten_o psalm_n 110.3_o psal._n 110.3_o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o

with_o a_o free_a courage_n the_o mark_n then_o which_o david_n attribute_v to_o all_o christian_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v christ_n good_a soldier_n and_o be_v avow_a to_o be_v of_o his_o army_n and_o company_n be_v that_o they_o must_v present_v and_o offer_v themselves_o to_o he_o with_o a_o pure_a and_o free_a heart_n not_o as_o folk_n that_o come_v by_o constraynt_n or_o

of_o all_o private_a person_n in_o deed_n this_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o bear_v sway_n among_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o necessity_n of_o war_n and_o without_o that_o it_o be_v better_o for_o they_o to_o suffer_v their_o throat_n to_o be_v cut_v a_o hundred_o time_n than_o once_o to_o draw_v a_o sword_n in_o their_o own_o defence_n unless_o they_o go_v to_o it_o with_o a_o pure_a conscience_n acknowledge_v after_o this_o manner_n god_n allow_v and_o admit_v we_o and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o fight_v under_o his_o guydance_n he_o will_v sure_o be_v on_o our_o side_n if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o this_o it_o be_v better_o for_o he_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n to_o perish_v than_o to_o stir_v one_o finger_n towards_o the_o save_n of_o his_o life_n as_o it_o be_v in_o despite_n of_o god_n have_v no_o leave_n nor_o licence_n of_o he_o to_o do_v it_o therefore_o in_o necessity_n of_o war_n the_o faithful_a shall_v be_v arm_v with_o this_o doctrine_n of_o strengthen_v

all_o our_o life_n long_o because_o satan_n never_o cease_v and_o we_o have_v sin_n fight_v against_o we_o yea_o and_o even_o within_o us._n we_o need_v not_o go_v far_o to_o encounter_v with_o our_o

for_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v any_o resistance_n beside_o this_o our_o enemy_n be_v prince_n of_o the_o world_n 7.14_o eph._n 6.12_o &_o rom._n 7.14_o sin_n hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o

although_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a and_o painful_a state_n to_o the_o flesh_n yet_o let_v we_o choose_v this_o condition_n namely_o to_o fight_v under_o christ_n standard_n and_o to_o appear_v at_o the_o

the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o warfare_n we_o know_v that_o first_o of_o all_o it_o stand_v we_o
not_o support_v nor_o favour_v any_o evil_n neither_o be_v it_o enough_o for_o they_o to_o be_v able_a to_o say_v y_z t_z they_o have_v yield_v every_o man_n his_o right_a when_o they_o be_v

we_o see_v here_o that_o such_o person_n as_o have_v so_o abuse_v their_o authority_n must_v come_v to_o account_v for_o it_o for_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n will_v have_v they_o not_o only_o to_o

cease_v not_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o us._n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o judge_n and_o magistrate_n have_v here_o a_o good_a lesson_n and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o

hand_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o think_v that_o he_o have_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o we_o for_o he_o mark_v all_o the_o wrong_n that_o be_v do_v unto_o we_o and_o our_o tear_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n shall_v come_v up_o before_o he_o 56.7_o psal._n 56.7_o for_o david_n say_v that_o the_o tear_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v put_v up_o as_o it_o be_v into_o bottle_n as_o man_n put_v

that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n which_o we_o have_v here_o chief_o to_o observe_v when_o moses_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n ordain_v josuah_n to_o be_v his_o successor_n to_o govern_v the_o

so_o wretched_a that_o they_o continue_v not_o any_o long_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n nor_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o law_n than_o a_o man_n of_o courage_n and_o stoutness_n have_v the_o

will_v speak_v to_o her_o babe_n see_v then_o that_o god_n do_v so_o fashion_v himself_o to_o our_o small_a capacity_n we_o ought_v of_o right_a to_o love_v well_o his_o word_n but_o yet_o therewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o he_o will_v not_o bereave_v himself_o of_o his_o right_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o continue_v king_n for_o ever_o and_o we_o tremble_v under_o he_o and_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o law_n and_o commandment_n thus_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v in_o effect_n to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o sweet_a to_o we_o as_o honey_n and_o as_o precious_a as_o gold_n and_o silver_n as_o david_n speak_v thereof_o 19.11_o psal._n 19.11_o and_o he_o do_v express_o name_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n by_o the_o term_n

much_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v the_o same_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o forealleadge_v pprophecy_n be_v now_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o all_o his_o

this_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v disherit_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n have_v turn_v it_o to_o my_o honour_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v our_o

the_o first_o fruit_n of_o corn_n wine_n and_o oil_n and_o also_o of_o the_o fleece_n of_o your_o sheep_n here_o god_n command_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n express_o to_o maintain_v the_o priest_n for_o they_o be_v bind_v thereto_o and_o therein_o they_o show_v themselves_o to_o make_v great_a account_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n it_o behove_v they_o to_o have_v man_n to_o minister_v in_o

when_o any_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v do_v towards_o god_n they_o must_v be_v spur_v forward_o and_o they_o never_o go_v willing_o to_o it_o unless_o they_o be_v urge_v and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o among_o
