come_v from_o he_o as_o blessing_n and_o benefit_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o amos_n say_v shall_v there_o be_v evil_a in_o the_o city_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o do_v it_o he_o mean_v the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n and_o not_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n because_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o this_o as_o james_n do_v teach_v but_o he_o be_v of_o the_o other_o for_o this_o shall_v quiet_v our_o mind_n and_o make_v we_o dumb_a according_a to_o david_n word_n in_o psal_n 39.9_o when_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v have_v be_v dumb_a and_o not_o have_v open_v my_o mouth_n because_o thou_o do_v it_o speak_v there_o to_o god_n second_o you_o must_v know_v and_o mark_n that_o as_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n so_o god_n have_v a_o absolute_a power_n over_o all_o his_o creature_n to_o do_v with_o they_o what_o he_o will_v himself_o and_o not_o what_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o the_o creature_n themselves_o as_o paul_n do_v teach_v we_o in_o rom._n 9.20.21_o say_v o_o man_n who_o be_v thou_o which_o plead_v against_o god_n shall_v the_o thing_n form_v say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o have_v not_o the_o potter_n power_n over_o the_o clay_n to_o make_v of_o the_o same_o lump_n one_o vessel_n to_o honour_n and_o another_o unto_o dishonour_n for_o this_o shall_v quiet_v our_o mind_n and_o make_v we_o dumb_a according_a to_o elies_n word_n in_o 1._o sam._n 3.18_o when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a three_o you_o must_v know_v and_o mark_n that_o as_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n and_o have_v absolute_a power_n over_o all_o his_o creature_n to_o do_v with_o they_o as_o he_o will_v so_o god_n do_v wrong_v none_o or_o offer_v injury_n unto_o any_o as_o man_n do_v but_o all_o his_o work_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a even_o when_o he_o do_v strike_v as_o well_o as_o when_o he_o do_v bless_v as_o daniel_n do_v acknowledge_v of_o he_o in_o dan._n 9.14_o say_v for_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v righteous_a in_o all_o his_o work_n which_o he_o do_v for_o this_o shall_v quiet_v our_o mind_n and_o make_v we_o dumb_a according_a to_o job_n example_n in_o job._n 1.21_o when_o he_o say_v naked_a come_v i_o into_o this_o world_n and_o naked_a shall_v i_o return_v again_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o o_o bless_a be_v the_o

upright_o with_o he_o in_o take_v that_o from_o he_o which_o before_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o four_o you_o must_v know_v and_o mark_n that_o as_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n have_v absolute_a power_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v and_o all_o his_o work_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a so_o every_o man_n be_v so_o sinful_a that_o his_o transgression_n and_o sin_n do_v deserve_v far_o great_a plague_n and_o judgement_n than_o any_o that_o god_n do_v lay_v upon_o man_n here_o in_o this_o world_n as_o david_n do_v instruct_v we_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v not_o deal_v with_o we_o after_o our_o sin_n nor_o reward_v we_o according_a to_o our_o iniquity_n in_o psal_n 103.10_o for_o this_o shall_v quiet_v our_o mind_n and_o make_v we_o dumb_a according_a to_o job_n word_n in_o job_n 39.37_o when_o he_o say_v behold_v i_o be_o vile_a what_o shall_v i_o answer_v thou_o i_o will_v lay_v my_o hand_n upon_o my_o mouth_n do_v a_o man_n require_v of_o we_o but_o ten_o shilling_n when_o we_o do_v owe_v he_o a_o hundred_o pound_n or_o do_v a_o officer_n give_v we_o but_o one_o

murmur_n against_o any_o of_o these_o be_v to_o murmur_v against_o god_n himself_o because_o all_o of_o they_o have_v their_o call_n from_o god_n and_o do_v supply_v his_o room_n and_o place_n nor_o against_o any_o work_n or_o word_n of_o the_o almighty_a whether_o you_o be_v in_o adversity_n or_o in_o prosperity_n but_o be_v quiet_a &_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n pray_v always_o for_o the_o redress_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v amiss_o but_o never_o murmur_v for_o any_o thing_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v from_o the_o act_n of_o the_o people_n and_o come_v to_o the_o prophet_n wonder_v at_o the_o same_o he_o do_v demand_v and_o ask_v the_o question_n say_v why_o do_v the_o heathen_a rage_n and_o the_o people_n murmur_v in_o vain_a and_o this_o he_o do_v by_o way_n of_o admiration_n as_o wonder_v at_o they_o for_o this_o their_o so_o do_v sometime_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o doubt_v of_o a_o matter_n or_o know_v it_o not_o so_o the_o apostle_n ask_v of_o christ_n why_o he_o do_v speak_v to_o the_o multitude_n in_o parable_n matth._n 13.10_o sometime_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o know_v a_o thing_n ourselves_o and_o will_v glad_o teach_v it_o to_o another_o so_o one_o of_o the_o elder_n who_o john_n see_v stand_v about_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n ask_v of_o john_n what_o they_o be_v and_o wherehence_a they_o come_v which_o stand_v before_o the_o throne_n and_o before_o the_o lamb_n clothe_v with_o long_a white_a robe_n and_o palm_n in_o their_o hand_n revel_v 7.13_o sometime_o we_o ask_v the_o question_n for_o neither_o of_o these_o end_n but_o to_o tempt_v or_o to_o entrap_v so_o the_o herodian_o ask_v christ_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o give_v tribute_n to_o caesar_n or_o no._n math._n 22.17_o sometime_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o will_v check_v or_o reprove_v one_o for_o some_o thing_n which_o be_v either_o speak_v or_o do_v amiss_o so_o god_n ask_v of_o cain_n where_o his_o brother_n abel_n be_v gen._n 4.9_o sometime_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o will_v express_v a_o thing_n with_o the_o great_a force_n and_o vehemency_n so_o paul_n ask_v of_o the_o roman_n how_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n shall_v yet_o live_v therein_o rom._n 6.2_o sometime_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o will_v stop_v his_o mouth_n that_o do_v propose_v unnecessary_a or_o unpleasing_a matter_n unto_o us._n so_o christ_n ask_v the_o chief_a priest_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n whether_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v from_o heaven_n or_o from_o man_n math._n 21.25_o sometime_o last_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o marvel_v or_o wonder_n at_o a_o matter_n so_o david_n ask_v what_o man_n be_v that_o god_n do_v so_o regard_v he_o and_o extol_v he_o above_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o creature_n psal_n 8.4_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o question_n be_v propose_v upon_o sundry_a consideration_n and_o for_o diverse_a end_n but_o the_o end_n why_o the_o prophet_n here_o do_v propose_v this_o question_n be_v for_o wonder_n sake_n for_o he_o see_v such_o madness_n and_o foolishness_n in_o the_o heathen_a and_o people_n for_o their_o rage_a and_o murmur_v against_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o can_v not_o but_o marvel_n and_o wonder_n at_o the_o same_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v attempt_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v either_o unpossible_a to_o be_v do_v as_o to_o carry_v a_o church_n upon_o his_o back_n or_o else_o which_o be_v do_v will_v be_v altogether_o hurtful_a unto_o he_o as_o to_o kick_v his_o heel_n against_o sharp_a needle_n we_o shall_v wonder_v and_o marvel_n at_o he_o much_o for_o it_o &_o think_v that_o he_o be_v mad_a and_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o case_n he_o see_v first_o that_o they_o go_v about_o a_o thing_n impossble_a &_o that_o which_o can_v never_o be_v bring_v to_o pass_v for_o who_o can_v remove_v the_o lord_n out_o of_o his_o throne_n or_o displace_v he_o out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n none_o no_o not_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o world_n again_o he_o see_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o as_o this_o be_v impossible_a so_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o unprofitable_a for_o they_o and_o most_o hurtful_a in_o every_o respect_n for_o whether_o we_o respect_v david_n or_o christ_n they_o can_v not_o have_v the_o like_a king_n again_o in_o all_o the_o world_n for_o as_o it_o be_v record_v of_o david_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n according_a to_o god_n own_o heart_n and_o that_o he_o execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n unto_o all_o his_o people_n as_o it_o be_v in_o 2._o sam._n 8.15_o so_o it_o be_v chronicle_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v the_o very_a ingrave_v form_n of_o his_o father_n person_n and_o that_o the_o sceptre_n of_o his_o kingdom_n be_v ascepter_n of_o righteousness_n he_o love_a righteousness_n and_o hate_v iniquity_n heb._n 1.2.8.9_o and_o as_o though_o this_o be_v not_o a_o commendation_n great_a enough_o of_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v reign_v as_o a_o king_n and_o prophet_n &_o execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n in_o the_o earth_n mark_v what_o the_o lord_n do_v add_v further_o to_o this_o in_o jer_z 23.6_o when_o he_o say_v in_o his_o day_n judah_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o israel_n shall_v dwell_v safe_o and_o this_o be_v the_o name_n whereby_o they_o shall_v call_v he_o the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n that_o so_o thereby_o we_o may_v know_v that_o all_o those_o be_v in_o a_o most_o happy_a estate_n who_o be_v under_o he_o and_o his_o dominion_n in_o regard_n of_o both_o which_o thing_n you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o prophet_n may_v well_o wonder_v and_o marvel_n as_o here_o he_o do_v at_o their_o rebellion_n whereout_o short_o observe_v this_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o the_o act_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o people_n thereof_o be_v such_o oftentimes_o that_o a_o wise_a and_o godly_a man_n such_o as_o the_o prophet_n be_v may_v well_o wonder_v and_o marvel_n at_o they_o it_o be_v note_v in_o esay_n cap._n 59_o v._n 16._o that_o god_n himself_o do_v wonder_n at_o the_o deal_n of_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n find_v in_o it_o that_o will_v offer_v himself_o to_o help_v the_o church_n in_o these_o word_n and_o when_o he_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n he_o wonder_v that_o none_o will_v offer_v himself_o but_o what_o may_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v reason_n that_o we_o may_v draw_v quick_o to_o a_o end_n in_o few_o word_n it_o be_v this_o because_o they_o have_v no_o good_a ground_n nor_o reason_n for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v but_o either_o have_v or_o may_v have_v many_o good_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n the_o which_o thing_n we_o may_v see_v as_o in_o other_o thing_n so_o in_o the_o conspiracy_n of_o our_o traitor_n whether_o against_o our_o former_a queen_n of_o bless_a memory_n or_o against_o our_o present_a king_n of_o holy_a reputation_n for_o i_o dare_v protest_v that_o none_o of_o they_o have_v ever_o any_o just_a cause_n

that_o can_v be_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v observe_v in_o the_o 3._o and_o 4._o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n as_o thus_o you_o hear_v that_o murmur_a be_v a_o sin_n reason_n so_o peradventure_o you_o will_v glad_o understand_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o few_o word_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o be_v because_o it_o have_v a_o error_n in_o it_o whereby_o we_o judge_v amiss_o of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o way_n whether_o work_n or_o word_n for_o whensoever_o we_o murmur_v for_o any_o matter_n we_o judge_v and_o think_v that_o that_o matter_n be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v better_o dispose_v of_o then_o it_o be_v as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n give_v unto_o every_o one_o a_o penny_n at_o night_n that_o labour_v in_o his_o vineyard_n the_o envious_a man_n grumble_v at_o this_o because_o he_o think_v here_o be_v no_o justice_n and_o equity_n observe_v in_o that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v make_v equal_a in_o their_o wage_n who_o be_v unequal_a in_o their_o labour_n so_o when_o we_o murmur_v against_o god_n we_o do_v dislike_n with_o something_o in_o god_n and_o so_o we_o do_v control_v he_o and_o prefer_v ourselves_o who_o be_v foolish_a and_o wicked_a before_o he_o who_o be_v most_o wise_a and_o holy_a as_o though_o we_o ourselves_o in_o the_o like_a case_n can_v do_v better_a than_o god_n have_v do_v than_o which_o blasphemy_n what_o can_v almost_o be_v more_o heinous_a the_o other_o cause_n be_v because_o it_o have_v some_o rebellion_n in_o it_o as_o a_o curse_a effect_n arise_v from_o the_o wickedness_n of_o that_o former_a cause_n whereof_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v for_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o corrupt_v with_o a_o wrong_a judgement_n the_o heart_n that_o begin_v to_o boil_v and_o rise_v against_o god_n in_o many_o angry_a and_o foolish_a passion_n and_o the_o tongue_n oftentimes_o be_v loose_v with_o most_o vile_a

to_o a_o sea_n of_o corruption_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o those_o murmurer_n and_o many_o other_o who_o be_v mention_v before_o wherefore_o when_o moses_n go_v about_o to_o draw_v the_o people_n from_o their_o murmur_a he_o will_v they_o to_o rebel_v no_o more_o as_o though_o to_o murmur_v &_o to_o rebel_n be_v all_o one_o numb_a 14.9_o and_o when_o god_n do_v reprove_v they_o he_o do_v demand_v how_o long_o they_o will_v provoke_v he_o and_o how_o long_o it_o will_v be_v yer_z they_o do_v believe_v he_o in_o the_o 11._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o murmur_v and_o provoke_v of_o god_n or_o not_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o that_o then_o if_o it_o be_v a_o abomination_n before_o the_o lord_n to_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a in_o our_o thought_n and_o to_o rebel_v against_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o land_n it_o be_v apparent_a and_o evident_a that_o murmur_a must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n see_v it_o have_v these_o two_o great_a evil_n in_o it_o the_o one_o of_o judge_v amiss_o of_o the_o lord_n the_o other_o of_o rebel_a against_o his_o majesty_n but_o to_o pass_v the_o cause_n let_v we_o come_v to_o

the_o first_o be_v the_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n who_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o their_o estate_n and_o swell_a like_o a_o blow_a bladder_n with_o the_o vain_a wind_n of_o their_o outward_a pomp_n the_o second_o be_v the_o intemperancy_n of_o their_o life_n who_o live_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o excess_n for_o diet_n apparel_n and_o other_o worldly_a pleasure_n most_o sweet_a and_o delightful_a unto_o the_o flesh_n the_o three_o be_v the_o contempt_n of_o the_o word_n who_o meditate_v but_o seldom_o upon_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o come_v but_o now_o and_o then_o to_o the_o place_n where_o it_o be_v sound_o and_o unpartial_o divide_v the_o four_o be_v the_o prosperity_n of_o their_o way_n who_o flourish_n like_o the_o bay_a tree_n and_o be_v not_o in_o trouble_n as_o other_o man_n or_o plague_v as_o they_o be_v but_o do_v live_v at_o ease_n be_v strong_a and_o lusty_a and_o have_v more_o than_o heart_n can_v wish_v the_o five_o be_v the_o false_a

persuasion_n which_o they_o have_v of_o themselves_o who_o think_v that_o they_o shall_v continue_v still_o in_o their_o flourish_a estate_n and_o never_o see_v any_o woe_n or_o misery_n the_o sixth_o and_o last_o be_v the_o flatter_a and_o wicked_a counsel_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o other_o who_o glad_o accept_v of_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o their_o praise_n or_o agree_v well_o with_o the_o vile_a inclination_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o the_o general_a reason_n of_o all_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o the_o depravitie_n of_o their_o crooked_a nature_n who_o turn_v that_o into_o poison_n unto_o themselves_o like_o the_o spider_n which_o they_o shall_v convert_v into_o honey_n with_o the_o bee_n but_o to_o leave_v the_o reason_n use_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o use_n here_o we_o may_v learn_v many_o thing_n but_o chief_o four_o the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o depend_v upon_o great_a man_n or_o the_o high_a power_n of_o the_o world_n for_o their_o countenance_n as_o we_o learn_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n not_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o multitude_n for_o their_o number_n for_o here_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o anoint_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o hang_v upon_o they_o &_o do_v as_o they_o do_v iniquity_n will_v be_v our_o overthrow_n and_o hell_n fire_n will_v be_v our_o portion_n at_o the_o last_o when_o we_o shall_v dear_o repent_v for_o it_o but_o all_o too_o late_o some_o there_o be_v of_o they_o i_o grant_v who_o be_v most_o godly_a and_o upright_a person_n walk_v sincere_o in_o the_o path_n of_o the_o almighty_a but_o they_o be_v exceed_v few_o here_o one_o and_o there_o another_o but_o for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o they_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o apostle_n word_n in_o 1._o cor._n 1.26_o when_o he_o say_v for_o brethren_n you_o see_v your_o call_n how_o that_o not_o many_o wise_a man_n after_o the_o flesh_n not_o many_o mighty_a not_o many_o noble_a be_v call_v and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n look_v well_o to_o this_o point_n conform_v not_o yourselves_o to_o the_o religion_n of_o great_a state_n nor_o walk_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o wealthy_a man_n of_o the_o world_n but_o be_v you_o follower_n alone_o of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o become_v holy_a as_o god_n your_o father_n be_v holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n &_o so_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v fighter_n against_o the_o almighty_a as_o these_o giant_n be_v but_o be_v faithful_a and_o obedient_a unto_o he_o to_o your_o own_o good_a &_o everlasting_a happiness_n the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o if_o we_o will_v join_v with_o the_o lord_n &_o take_v part_n with_o he_o we_o must_v look_v for_o great_a enemy_n to_o arise_v up_o against_o we_o as_o well_o as_o small_a one_o you_o shall_v be_v bring_v say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n unto_o his_o disciple_n in_o matth._n 10.18_o to_o the_o

we_o must_v not_o be_v discourage_v as_o though_o some_o new_a thing_n have_v happen_v unto_o we_o but_o be_v well_o content_v therewith_o know_v that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o still_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o ahab_n be_v set_v against_o eliah_n saul_n against_o david_n haman_n against_o mordecay_n the_o prince_n of_o babel_n against_o

what_o gift_n and_o calling_n we_o have_v of_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v upon_o they_o when_o any_o just_a occasion_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o thereunto_o for_o all_o man_n have_v not_o their_o calling_n from_o god_n the_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n do_v complain_v in_o the_o 23._o chapter_n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremy_n that_o many_o do_v run_v who_o he_o do_v never_o send_v and_o make_v mention_n of_o king_n in_o some_o other_o place_n he_o do_v say_v that_o they_o do_v reign_v but_o not_o by_o he_o and_o sure_o daily_a

and_o 23._o chapter_n thereof_o who_o the_o lord_n do_v never_o establish_v in_o their_o throne_n by_o his_o kind_n &_o love_a approbation_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o his_o office_n or_o call_n be_v from_o god_n or_o no_o that_o so_o he_o may_v stand_v stout_o upon_o the_o same_o and_o labour_n with_o all_o care_n &_o conscience_n to_o discharge_v it_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o four_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v by_o his_o mind_n with_o the_o which_o he_o do_v enter_v into_o it_o

the_o four_o and_o last_o be_v by_o his_o success_n whereby_o he_o do_v prosper_v and_o do_v good_a in_o it_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v find_v these_o four_o thing_n in_o himself_o first_o that_o he_o enter_v into_o his_o call_n not_o with_o a_o corrupt_a mind_n as_o for_o honour_n praise_n gain_n or_o the_o like_a but_o with_o a_o single_a heart_n &_o desire_n to_o glorify_v god_n and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o his_o people_n second_o that_o he_o have_v grace_n and_o gift_n sufficient_a for_o to_o discharge_v those_o duty_n which_o be_v require_v at_o his_o hand_n three_o that_o he_o be_v

and_o not_o from_o man_n alone_o second_o by_o this_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o judge_v charitable_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v speak_v large_o now_o and_o then_o of_o their_o own_o gift_n and_o those_o place_n wherein_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v they_o for_o here_o we_o may_v see_v a_o man_n may_v do_v it_o with_o a_o good_a soul_n and_o discharge_v but_o a_o honest_a &_o godly_a duty_n in_o so_o do_v it_o true_a it_o be_v as_o solomon_n do_v say_v in_o prou._n 27.2_o let_v another_o man_n praise_v thou_o and_o not_o thy_o own_o mouth_n a_o stranger_n and_o not_o thy_o own_o lip_n for_o be_v

for_o this_o be_v not_o to_o praise_v himself_o but_o rather_o to_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o bring_v honour_n unto_o his_o name_n yea_o the_o case_n may_v so_o stand_v as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o paul_n word_n in_o the_o 11._o chap._n of_o his_o 2_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n as_o in_o other_o place_n also_o that_o a_o man_n may_v praise_v himself_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o

the_o story_n of_o the_o canaanite_n do_v show_v levi._n 18.24_o etc._n etc._n and_o set_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o order_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o ahab_n that_o trouble_a israel_n 1._o king_n 18.18_o and_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o false_a apostle_n that_o trouble_v the_o galathian_o gal._n 5.10_o as_o also_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n which_o put_v he_o beside_o

that_o god_n do_v leave_v israel_n for_o a_o time_n for_o achans_n sin_n but_o after_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o the_o same_o he_o do_v help_v they_o again_o and_o give_v they_o a_o notable_a

in_o numb_a 25.4_o when_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o take_v all_o the_o head_n of_o the_o people_n and_o hang_v they_o up_o before_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o sun_n that_o the_o indignation_n of_o

blood_n do_v touch_v blood_n and_o assign_v this_o reason_n of_o it_o even_o because_o there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n and_o sure_o where_o man_n know_v not_o god_n what_o can_v be_v look_v for_o else_o but_o all_o impiety_n against_o god_n and_o all_o unrighteous_a deal_n against_o man_n last_o because_o all_o such_o as_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v

be_v destroy_v for_o lack_n of_o knowledge_n and_o paul_n do_v show_v in_o 2._o thess_n 1.8_o that_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o show_v himself_o from_o heaven_n with_o his_o

sufficient_a why_o every_o man_n shall_v labour_v and_o strive_v to_o plant_v some_o heavenly_a knowledge_n within_o his_o soul_n and_o to_o become_v wise_a and_o learned_a in_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o almighty_a in_o regard_v whereof_o we_o see_v first_o in_o what_o great_a fault_n the_o world_n be_v in_o for_o there_o be_v ignorance_n in_o every_o place_n alas_o alas_o most_o man_n know_v not_o aright_o either_o that_o god_n who_o have_v make_v they_o or_o themselves_o who_o be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o as_o for_o the_o ground_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o

many_o year_n together_o yet_o it_o be_v pitiful_a to_o hear_v &_o understand_v what_o ignorance_n be_v still_o among_o man_n and_o how_o unwise_a &_o unlearned_a they_o be_v in_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n amend_v us._n but_o here_o some_o may_v say_v that_o there_o be_v never_o more_o knowledge_n in_o this_o land_n than_o now_o be_v at_o this_o present_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o our_o knowledge_n be_v nothing_o to_o our_o long_a and_o continue_a teach_v for_o in_o regard_n thereof_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v teacher_n ourselves_o who_o yet_o be_v teach_v of_o other_o and_o have_v need_v also_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o very_a first_o principle_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o be_v become_v many_o of_o we_o at_o the_o least_o such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o milk_n and_o not_o of_o strong_a meat_n as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v speak_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o five_o chapter_n second_o that_o our_o knowledge_n for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v not_o a_o save_n or_o sanctify_a knowledge_n but_o talkative_a and_o discourse_v it_o hang_v upon_o our_o tongue_n and_o swim_v about_o in_o the_o circumference_n of_o our_o brain_n but_o it_o sink_v not_o down_o into_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v to_o bring_v forth_o a_o reform_a life_n for_o we_o have_v many_o talker_n but_o few_o true_a walker_n and_o sundry_a there_o be_v who_o can_v discourse_v at_o large_a in_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o few_o there_o be_v who_o feel_v the_o power_n and_o force_v thereof_o be_v deaden_v by_o the_o mean_n thereof_o unto_o their_o sin_n and_o quicken_v up_o unto_o all_o fruitful_a work_n of_o righteousness_n whereby_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v and_o man_n edify_v second_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v most_o currant_n at_o rome_n &_o those_o place_n where_o popery_n do_v bear_v sway_n to_o wit_n that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o

the_o jew_n search_v the_o scripture_n for_o in_o they_o you_o think_v to_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o in_o john_n 5.39_o impose_v there_o this_o duty_n upon_o all_o that_o do_v intend_v to_o be_v save_v at_o the_o last_o to_o be_v conversant_a in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v dissonant_n altogether_o to_o their_o practice_n and_o teach_n if_o i_o will_v stand_v upon_o such_o a_o common_a place_n as_o this_o be_v i_o can_v allege_v both_o place_n and_o reason_n enough_o to_o overthrow_v they_o in_o this_o respect_n who_o be_v herein_o most_o like_a unto_o those_o curse_a and_o hypocritical_a scribe_n and_o pharisy_n who_o do_v shut_v up_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n before_o man_n neither_o go_v in_o themselves_o nor_o suffer_v

other_o that_o will_v enter_v to_o come_v in_o but_o let_v these_o thing_n thus_o speak_v suffice_v and_o cause_v we_o not_o only_o to_o see_v their_o fault_n and_o that_o woeful_a misery_n wherein_o they_o live_v but_o also_o to_o behold_v the_o sweet_a and_o great_a blessing_n of_o knowledge_n which_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v unto_o we_o through_o the_o happy_a government_n of_o his_o anoint_v
