the_o lord_n how_o be_v have_v lead_v they_o and_o deliver_v they_o yet_o when_o it_o come_v to_o this_o that_o they_o must_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n they_o say_v we_o can_v bear_v it_o we_o can_v endure_v it_o we_o have_v devise_v for_o ourselves_o a_o easy_a way_n for_o the_o voice_n of_o thunder_n and_o dreadful_a noise_n put_v they_o into_o terror_n and_o quake_a and_o tremble_v and_o great_a dread_a come_v upon_o they_o but_o we_o have_v find_v a_o easy_a way_n say_v they_o what_o be_v that_o go_v thou_o say_v they_o to_o moses_n and_o hear_v thou_o what_o the_o lord_n say_v and_o come_v thou_o and_o tell_v we_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o mediator_n between_o we_o let_v god_n speak_v unto_o thou_o and_o do_v thou_o speak_v the_o same_o to_o we_o and_o we_o will_v hear_v thou_o this_o be_v the_o jew_n that_o be_v not_o come_v beyond_o the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n they_o will_v not_o come_v to_o receive_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n as_o the_o christian_a must_v so_o moses_n he_o receive_v the_o law_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n and_o he_o be_v faithful_a as_o a_o servant_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o he_o minister_v forth_o the_o law_n of_o god_n his_o precept_n statute_n and_o judgement_n and_o testimony_n and_o he_o make_v they_o a_o book_n of_o law_n for_o all_o of_o they_o to_o walk_v by_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a how_o they_o shall_v act_v in_o criminal_a matter_n and_o do_v justice_n between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v towards_o the_o priest_n who_o lip_n shall_v preserve_v knowledge_n for_o they_o and_o so_o he_o bring_v up_o a_o form_n of_o religion_n but_o his_o work_n be_v according_a to_o the_o precept_n of_o god_n and_o he_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o form_n of_o national_a religion_n and_o government_n and_o national_a law_n and_o so_o moses_n and_o the_o priest_n rule_v over_o they_o and_o the_o priest_n he_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o they_o and_o make_v atonement_n for_o they_o and_o moses_n inquire_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o ask_v counsel_n for_o they_o and_o teach_v and_o instruct_v they_o and_o what_o c●me_n of_o all_o th●s_n at_o last_o when_o this_o be_v do_v the_o priest_n make_v atonement_n for_o sin_n but_o he_o can_v not_o pluck_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o one_o sin_n there_o remain_v the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n after_o he_o have_v make_v his_o offer_n and_o moses_n teach_v they_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n and_o the_o command_v of_o god_n but_o he_o can_v not_o bind_v their_o heart_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o they_o for_o he_o declare_v open_o against_o they_o that_o they_o be_v a_o rebellious_a and_o stiffnecked_a people_n notwithstanding_o this_o they_o have_v a_o law_n without_o they_o indeed_o time_n will_v fail_v i_o to_o run_v through_o the_o manifold_a miscarriage_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o idolatry_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o contempt_n and_o rebellion_n both_o to_o god_n and_o his_o servant_n moses_n which_o be_v to_o teach_v and_o to_o guide_v they_o i_o say_v the_o time_n will_v fail_v i_o to_o mention_v the_o manifold_a miscarriage_n that_o happen_v among_o this_o people_n that_o have_v a_o law_n and_o religion_n without_o they_o and_o a_o teacher_n without_o they_o now_o in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n it_o please_v god_n in_o send_v his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n to_o raise_v up_o a_o prophet_n like_o unto_o moses_n in_o respect_n of_o faithfulness_n though_o high_a in_o respect_n of_o dignity_n for_o moses_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n as_o a_o servant_n but_o this_o man_n be_v faithful_a as_o a_o son_n in_o his_o own_o house_n in_o the_o house_n that_o he_o be_v heir_n of_o that_o house_n wherein_o he_o be_v a_o king_n both_o a_o priest_n a_o prophet_n and_o a_o ruler_n in_o when_o the_o lord_n signify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n the_o come_n of_o the_o just_a one_o he_o signify_v to_o the_o people_n that_o his_o ministry_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v as_o that_o of_o aaron_n the_o people_n shall_v not_o have_v their_o religion_n without_o they_o and_o their_o law_n and_o precept_n without_o they_o and_o their_o priest_n without_o they_o and_o their_o worship_n and_o church_n without_o they_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v it_o all_o within_o they_o i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n i_o will_v put_v it_o into_o their_o inward_a part_n then_o they_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n and_o i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v not_o forsake_v i_o your_o father_n break_v my_o old_a covenant_n but_o i_o will_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n a_o new_a covenant_n not_o like_o that_o your_o fathersbroke_n they_o break_v the_o law_n without_o they_o but_o i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n this_o prophet_n that_o be_v like_a to_o moses_n he_o shall_v
