to_o we_o which_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v by_o divine_a revelation_n second_o the_o nobility_n of_o the_o object_n which_o as_o this_o art_n be_v usual_o and_o wise_o handle_v be_v god_n and_o divine_a thing_n three_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o end_n which_o be_v man_n happiness_n or_o salvation_n a_o word_n of_o each_o of_o these_o and_o so_o i_o will_v conclude_v first_o of_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o truth_n whereas_o all_o other_o art_n the_o skill_n of_o which_o we_o be_v to_o attain_v unto_o by_o natural_a reason_n upon_o observation_n and_o experience_n be_v so_o uncertain_a for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o a_o man_n when_o he_o have_v do_v his_o best_a may_v remain_v a_o sceptic_a or_o academic_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o understanding_n proceed_v from_o

not_o subject_a to_o the_o least_o ignorance_n and_o the_o ocean_n of_o goodness_n far_o from_o all_o malice_n can_v neither_o deceive_v nor_o be_v deceive_v and_o therefore_o the_o light_n of_o our_o

the_o labour_n of_o our_o call_n with_o much_o alacrity_n and_o cheerfulness_n second_o for_o the_o nobility_n of_o the_o object_n god_n and_o divine_a thing_n if_o the_o poet_n think_v so_o high_o

spring_n above_o and_o the_o spring_n beneath_o like_o the_o blessing_n of_o isaak_n divide_v among_o his_o two_o son_n the_o blessing_n of_o esau_n the_o fatness_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o

which_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o text_n be_v most_o direct_a doctrine_n the_o first_o point_n be_v this_o that_o outward_a prosperity_n and_o peace_n be_v a_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o confer_v to_o our_o happiness_n whether_o you_o consider_v one_o person_n or_o a_o whole_a people_n you_o must_v understand_v this_o according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a distinction_n in_o this_o case_n of_o

thus_o that_o truth_n be_v evident_a and_o clear_a reason_n first_o because_o those_o outward_a thing_n have_v a_o aptitude_n in_o they_o to_o satisfy_v man_n natural_a appetite_n for_o in_o every_o man_n be_v a_o compound_n nature_n the_o vinculum_fw-la of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o which_o both_o be_v as_o it_o be_v marry_v by_o the_o conjunction_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n there_o be_v

delight_n to_o cheer_n and_o refresh_v he_o second_o outward_a good_a thing_n be_v to_o he_o both_o the_o subject_n and_o instrument_n of_o many_o virtue_n and_o so_o great_a advantage_n in_o his_o course_n of_o godliness_n both_o to_o furnish_v himself_o and_o to_o help_v and_o further_a his_o brethren_n and_o in_o both_o to_o promote_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n in_o his_o true_a worship_n and_o therefore_o david_n who_o be_v a_o man_n of_o war_n can_v not_o build_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o that_o solomon_n his_o son_n may_v god_n give_v he_o rest_v round_o about_o from_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o riches_n in_o such_o abundance_n that_o gold_n in_o his_o time_n be_v like_o stone_n in_o the_o street_n and_o silver_n like_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v three_o that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o give_v these_o blessing_n to_o his_o child_n as_o testimony_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n and_z as_o reward_n of_o their_o faithful_a obedience_n he_o bring_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n the_o land_n of_o bondage_n into_o canaan_n the_o land_n of_o promise_n out_o of_o the_o land_n where_o they_o be_v feed_v with_o onion_n and_o

to_o dote_v upon_o these_o external_a blessing_n as_o the_o only_a happiness_n rather_o than_o to_o doubt_v whether_o they_o confer_v to_o it_o at_o all_o or_o no_o it_o be_v well_o say_v that_o he_o
