do_v not_o call_v to_o be_v glorify_v in_o that_o creature_n when_o it_o be_v full_a of_o glory_n but_o when_o that_o creature_n be_v as_o we_o may_v say_v in_o the_o mean_a condition_n when_o it_o have_v but_o a_o little_a light_a beginning_n scarce_o any_o at_o all_o then_o god_n will_v be_v glorify_v this_o be_v the_o instruction_n and_o moral_a lesson_n from_o hence_o which_o be_v no_o strain_v one_o but_o i_o think_v intend_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o appoint_v this_o feast_n in_o that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o glory_n due_a to_o he_o from_o this_o creature_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o its_o light_n rather_o than_o at_o any_o other_o time_n we_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n when_o we_o be_v give_v god_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o creature_n obser_n of_o stick_v in_o the_o creature_n and_o not_o pass_v through_o the_o creature_n speedy_o enough_o and_o go_v from_o it_o to_o god_n god_n be_v very_o jealous_a of_o his_o glory_n this_o way_n god_n have_v make_v many_o glorious_a creature_n indeed_o &_o he_o will_v have_v his_o glory_n from_o all_o his_o creature_n he_o will_v have_v we_o give_v due_a esteem_n to_o his_o creature_n but_o when_o we_o esteem_v it_o for_o any_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o it_o god_n be_v jealous_a lest_o any_o of_o his_o glory_n shall_v stick_v in_o the_o creature_n therefore_o he_o call_v for_o it_o at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o creature_n be_v most_o mean_a that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o god_n ordinance_n be_v so_o plain_a we_o have_v but_o plain_a bread_n and_o plain_a wine_n and_o a_o plaintable_a and_o no_o brave_a pompous_a attire_n because_o god_n see_v that_o when_o we_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o he_o spiritual_o if_o we_o have_v pompous_a thing_n we_o will_v stick_v there_o and_o we_o see_v man_n that_o be_v take_v so_o with_o pompous_a thing_n they_o give_v not_o god_n that_o glory_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o but_o they_o stick_v much_o in_o the_o creature_n and_o honour_v it_o rather_o then_o god_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o heathen_n make_v the_o moon_n to_o be_v their_o goddess_n especial_o look_v at_o it_o when_o it_o be_v most_o light_a as_o appear_v job_n 31._o therefore_o job_n to_o clear_v himself_o from_o that_o idolatry_n say_v if_o i_o behold_v the_o sun_n when_o it_o shine_v or_o the_o moon_n walk_v in_o brightness_n they_o use_v to_o worship_v the_o moon_n thus_o when_o they_o see_v it_o walk_v in_o brightness_n because_o they_o can_v not_o reach_v the_o moon_n they_o kiss_v their_o hand_n and_o so_o bow_v to_o the_o moon_n in_o acknowledgement_n of_o a_o deity_n therefore_o job_n will_v free_v himself_o from_o that_o if_o i_o behold_v the_o moon_n walk_v in_o brightness_n or_o if_o my_o mouth_n have_v kiss_v my_o hand_n that_o be_v say_v he_o i_o have_v not_o worship_v this_o creature_n this_o be_v it_o i_o note_v it_o for_o that_o when_o the_o creature_n be_v most_o glorious_a there_o be_v danger_n of_o give_v god_n the_o less_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o we_o many_o time_n god_n have_v many_o time_n more_o glory_n from_o we_o when_o our_o estate_n be_v little_a then_o when_o they_o be_v very_o great_a there_o be_v

glory_n and_o then_o it_o have_v be_v indeed_o most_o acceptable_a because_o than_o he_o see_v god_n hand_n help_v he_o without_o the_o creature_n further_o god_n have_v most_o glory_n from_o the_o

they_o be_v to_o look_v through_o their_o sacrifice_n to_o christ_n and_o their_o sin-offering_n be_v to_o be_v a_o atonement_n for_o their_o sin_n the_o peace-offering_a be_v in_o thanksgiving_n for_o a_o mercy_n or_o when_o they_o will_v petition_v to_o god_n for_o a_o further_a mercy_n all_o this_o must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n but_o beside_o this_o end_n of_o

for_o give_v the_o law_n the_o jew_n say_v that_o god_n deal_v with_o they_o as_o a_o king_n shall_v deal_v with_o a_o poor_a man_n in_o prison_n first_o he_o release_v he_o of_o his_o bondage_n and_o

he_o do_v not_o consider_v of_o their_o succourless_a &_o shiftless_a condition_n but_o rather_o look_n at_o all_o the_o mercy_n they_o have_v in_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n as_o it_o
