of_o moses_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v short_o already_o remember_v these_o word_n say_v he_o and_o how_o by_o talk_v and_o confer_v of_o they_o in_o thy_o house_n and_o as_o thou_o go_v abroad_o here_o we_o see_v well_o how_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v with_o guard_n of_o garment_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o have_v his_o law_n print_v in_o his_o people_n

and_o it_o greeve_v us._n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o talk_n of_o he_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a point_n for_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o psalm_n 〈…〉_o psal._n 〈…〉_o i_o

to_o hoard_v up_o great_a treasure_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o be_v scotfree_a so_o their_o heart_n inclyne_v not_o to_o pride_n vaynglorie_n and_o

again_o confirm_v the_o same_o â—_o deut._n 30._o â—_o y_z t_z man_n ought_v to_o turn_v to_o god_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o fear_v he_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o their_o

10.16_o 〈◊〉_d 10.16_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o will_v circumcise_v thy_o heart_n it_o be_v his_o very_a office_n we_o see_v then_o that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o his_o law_n it_o be_v not_o because_o we_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v to_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o understand_v wherein_o we_o be_v bind_v

moses_n mean_v not_o that_o only_a god_n shall_v altogether_o change_v man_n and_o reform_v their_o heart_n for_o this_o place_n seem_v to_o show_v that_o god_n will_v aid_v man_n when_o they_o have_v

and_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v thou_o to_o love_v he_o it_o seem_v therefore_o that_o moses_n place_v some_o good_a disposition_n in_o man_n and_o that_o they_o do_v begin_v on_o their_o part_n and_o that_o thereupon_o god_n help_v they_o and_o add_v that_o which_o they_o want_v thus_o do_v the_o papist_n turmoil_n themselves_o when_o man_n allege_v unto_o they_o whatsoever_o be_v speak_v

we_o well_o remember_v what_o be_v contain_v here_o as_o thing_n that_o proceed_v not_o from_o a_o mortal_a creature_n but_o from_o god_n who_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n and_o
