any_o thing_n at_o all_o no._n you_o see_v then_o where_o at_o god_n am_v and_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o sentence_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o if_o we_o have_v obey_v

that_o term_v they_o the_o service_n of_o god_n it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o their_o meaning_n to_o hold_v themselves_o to_o the_o pureness_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o of_o the_o law_n and_o

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
when_o god_n give_v sentence_n upon_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v always_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o with_o out_o give_v of_o we_o some_o respite_n to_o remedy_v the_o mischief_n

that_o work_v and_o he_o give_v i_o a_o token_n thereof_o i_o must_v therefore_o apply_v it_o unto_o my_o instruction_n &_o not_o say_v this_o happen_v unto_o i_o by_o chance_n i_o have_v have_v

this_o history_n have_v be_v touch_v already_o heretofore_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n 1.37_o deut._n 1.37_o where_o moses_n declate_v that_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o

to_o show_v to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n how_o great_a and_o excessive_a their_o lewdness_n be_v see_v that_o he_o be_v punish_v for_o their_o sake_n for_o the_o mischief_n come_v not_o of_o

he_o be_v banish_v from_o the_o land_n this_o do_v he_o charge_v they_o with_o to_o their_o reproach_n and_o here_o he_o repeat_v again_o how_o that_o after_o he_o have_v publish_v the_o law_n god_n

first_o of_o all_o if_o we_o read_v what_o be_v write_v by_o moses_n himself_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o he_o overshoot_v not_o himself_o in_o the_o place_n y_fw-fr t_o be_v call_v meriba_n which_o

then_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o outward_a appearance_n of_o the_o matter_n it_o will_v seem_v that_o moses_n behave_v himself_o faithful_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v condemn_v both_o he_o &_o his_o brother_n aaron_n and_o why_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o we_o must_v not_o always_o weigh_v our_o sin_n in_o our_o own_o balance_n for_o that_o will_v ever_o deceive_v we_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o solomon_n man_n think_v his_o own_o way_n to_o be_v right_a 21.2_o prou._n 21.2_o but_o god_n wey_v man_n heart_n
