unto_o he_o that_z y_z e_z land_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a heritage_n whereunto_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n be_v to_o attain_v here_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a record_n that_o although_o

what_o be_v say_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o according_a as_o god_n have_v ordain_v state_n and_o degree_n among_o man_n so_o must_v man_n dispose_v thing_n and_o direct_v they_o by_o the_o

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

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

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

of_o jerusalem_n 23.37_o mat._n 23.37_o how_o oft_o say_v he_o will_v i_o have_v gather_v thy_o little_a one_o under_o my_o wing_n and_o thou_o will_v not_o there_o our_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v not_o

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

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

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

we_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o stray_v nevertheless_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o question_n here_o how_o moses_n can_v say_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n shall_v be_v count_v sage_a and_o

which_o shall_v hear_v the_o law_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n have_v give_v they_o shall_v say_v behold_v here_o a_o excellent_a and_o noble_a people_n now_o as_o for_o those_o that_o hold_v

that_o the_o question_n be_v resolve_v in_o this_o wise_a namely_o that_o as_o many_o of_o the_o heathen_a as_o have_v know_v and_o taste_v well_o the_o doctrine_n that_o god_n have_v deliver_v to_o 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 vouchsafe_v to_o consider_v that_o for_o all_o of_o they_o lie_v welter_v still_o in_o their_o own_o dung_n and_o although_o it_o be_v apparent_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n have_v a_o

to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enjoy_v it_o for_o all_o this_o be_v treat_v of_o by_o moses_n to_o the_o intent_n it_o shall_v be_v apply_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o learn_v to_o serve_v our_o god_n with_o

tell_v they_o that_o god_n will_v succour_v we_o even_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o require_v at_o his_o hand_n his_o intent_n be_v also_o to_o encourage_v folk_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o make_v they_o to_o blame_v themselves_o for_o their_o own_o negligence_n whensoever_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o help_n and_o succour_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o to_o do_v we_o to_o understande_v

when_o they_o have_v their_o own_o devotion_n after_o what_o sort_n soever_o it_o be_v thus_o do_v man_n wilful_o beguile_v themselves_o and_o run_v gad_v up_o and_o down_o but_o when_o they_o have_v

so_o then_o moses_n call_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o witness_v here_o to_o do_v we_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v that_o if_o man_n flatter_v themselves_o and_o play_v the_o brute_n beast_n

the_o papist_n be_v to_o boast_v of_o their_o merit_n so_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o they_o have_v to_o bargain_n with_o god_n and_o thereupon_o enter_v bold_o into_o account_n with_o he_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

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

it_o seem_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v they_o hate_v he_o to_o his_o face_n he_o mean_v to_o say_v that_o we_o spite_n god_n or_o hate_n god_n to_o his_o face_n when_o we_o fall_v out_o into_o

word_n be_v repete_v twice_o and_o in_o the_o end_n it_o appear_v that_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o face_n of_o the_o transgressor_n no_o doubt_n but_o it_o be_v a_o change_v of_o the_o number_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v common_o wont_a to_o do_v therefore_o the_o very_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v requite_v they_o to_o their_o face_n by_o make_v the_o hatred_n to_o

and_o true_o this_o be_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o present_a place_n if_o we_o read_v all_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n throughout_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n

forbid_v they_o to_o be_v afraid_a how_o hang_v these_o two_o together_o whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o fear_n we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o when_o any_o danger_n be_v apparent_a and_o threaten_v we_o we_o feel_v the_o grief_n thereof_o and_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o now_o then_o in_o say_v that_o god_n will_v destroy_v all_o those_o who_o his_o people_n be_v afraid_a of_o moses_n mean_v that_o although_o the_o enemy_n be_v dreadful_a of_o themselves_o yet_o shall_v not_o god_n be_v hinder_v to_o destroy_v they_o and_o again_o we_o have_v to_o note_v also_o that_o god_n have_v always_o bear_v with_o the_o fainthartednesse_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o be_v

yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n bear_v still_o with_o that_o default_n and_o although_o the_o people_n be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v succour_v because_o of_o the_o fearfulness_n that_o proceed_v of_o the_o

foade_v we_o in_o it_o when_o we_o have_v not_o such_o stoutness_n and_o constancy_n as_o be_v requisite_a it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o for_o all_o

yesterday_o wherefore_o god_n give_v the_o bridle_n to_o satan_n in_o such_o wise_a that_o he_o sow_v many_o error_n and_o corruption_n not_o only_o in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o faith_n shall_v be_v try_v to_o weet_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o uprightness_n soundness_n and_o love_n before_o our_o god_n or_o whether_o there_o be_v

namely_o that_o our_o lord_n will_v search_v we_o to_o the_o hard_a bottom_n whether_o we_o bear_v reverence_n to_o his_o word_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o unfeyned_o or_o no._n not_o that_o he_o

this_o be_v still_o to_o show_v we_o that_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o namely_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v at_o any_o stay_n unless_o we_o know_v well_o what_o god_n it_o be_v who_o we_o

but_o let_v we_o go_v back_o again_o to_o this_o say_n that_o although_o the_o false_a prophet_n have_v give_v some_o sign_n or_o foretell_v some_o wonder_n and_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v come_v to_o

be_v not_o material_a but_o i_o have_v answer_v before_o that_o god_n be_v above_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o his_o church_n shall_v live_v in_o warrefare_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o faith_n of_o all_o his_o might_n be_v exercise_v then_o if_o a_o deceiver_n foretell_v a_o thing_n and_o the_o same_o fall_n out_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v but_o that_o

it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o that_o we_o will_v fain_o repose_v and_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o god_n so_o as_o we_o may_v not_o minister_v any_o occasion_n to_o satan_n to_o beguile_v

but_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a meaning_n be_v that_o which_o we_o have_v set_v down_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v every_o man_n to_o protest_v that_o he_o

the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o can_v do_v amiss_o but_o on_o the_o otherside_n when_o we_o will_v needs_o presume_v above_o our_o power_n then_o be_v we_o out_o of_o the_o way_n we_o take_v that_o

64.4_o 2._o cor._n 2.9_o such_o as_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o conceive_v if_o we_o see_v not_o a_o open_a gap_n even_o unto_o hell_n to_o spite_n satan_n to_o defy_v death_n and_o to_o triumph_v over_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v impeach_v our_o salvation_n well_o let_v we_o on_o the_o one_o side_n consider_v how_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o when_o we_o have_v receive_v

as_o already_o raise_v up_o thither_o by_o god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o here_o beneath_o we_o be_v as_o wretched_a worm_n creep_v upon_o the_o ground_n but_o when_o we_o have_v once_o the_o

this_o point_n follow_v the_o exhortation_n of_o s._n paul_n moreover_o we_o must_v likewise_o mark_v how_o he_o say_v that_o we_o must_v believe_v with_o the_o heart_n to_o justification_n and_o

concern_v the_o first_o point_n now_o concern_v the_o second_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o by_o his_o rise_n again_o he_o have_v purchase_v righteousness_n unto_o we_o and_o thereby_o show_v himself_o a_o conqueror_n over_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o his_o resurrection_n do_v also_o import_v that_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n of_o purpose_n to_o take_v the_o possession_n of_o that_o

with_o the_o heart_n now_o this_o word_n believe_v import_v that_o we_o shall_v seek_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o which_o we_o want_v in_o ourselves_o for_o if_o we_o rest_v upon_o the_o law_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o command_v we_o to_o do_v that_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a but_o if_o we_o repair_v unto_o god_n know_v that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o

as_o we_o may_v evermore_o be_v ready_a and_o weldisposed_a to_o depart_v from_o it_o whensoever_o god_n show_v we_o that_o our_o hour_n be_v come_v but_o true_o that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v except_o

with_o he_o because_o it_o belong_v unto_o us._n for_o he_o be_v not_o raise_v again_o for_o his_o own_o profit_n but_o for_o the_o assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v

you_o see_v how_o we_o have_v to_o put_v this_o text_n in_o practice_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n go_v uppe_o to_o the_o mountain_n know_v well_o that_o when_o he_o come_v there_o god_n will_v take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o shun_v not_o the_o place_n ne_o madâ—_n any_o resistance_n but_o prepare_v himself_o to_o death_n with_o true_a

of_o promise_n to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o understande_v as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o whereas_o we_o think_v we_o have_v not_o do_v amiss_o our_o offence_n shall_v be_v gross_a and_o exceed_o

then_o we_o must_v ever_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v effectual_a &_o that_o they_o be_v no_o trifle_a sign_n which_o vanish_v away_o in_o the_o air_n but_o that_o the_o
