after_o so_o gentle_a a_o manner_n that_o his_o majesty_n may_v be_v know_v unto_o we_o in_o most_o love_a and_o amiable_a wise_a for_o if_o god_o shall_v speak_v only_o of_o his_o eternity_n and_o sovereign_a be_v we_o shall_v be_v all_o confound_v of_o a_o truth_n this_o may_v suffice_v to_o condemn_v all_o our_o dotage_n yet_o we_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n can_v not_o be_v fit_o hereby_o instruct_v to_o our_o use_n and_o profit_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o after_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v he_o alone_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o reverence_n and_o to_o who_o we_o must_v do_v homage_n that_o he_o come_v unto_o we_o all_o after_o a_o gentle_a and_o familiar_a manner_n that_o we_o may_v perceive_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o master_n &_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o will_v ally_v himself_o and_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o he_o this_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o title_n which_o he_o give_v himself_o in_o this_o place_n say_v i_o be_o not_o only_a thy_o everliving_a which_o come_v here_o to_o fright_n thou_o but_o i_o be_o withal_o thy_o god_n i_o have_v choose_v thou_o to_o myself_o i_o will_v that_o thou_o be_v my_o heritage_n so_o then_o we_o now_o see_v how_o god_o authorize_v his_o law_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v receive_v it_o in_o all_o fear_n and_o humility_n and_o how_o withal_o he_o sweeten_v it_o with_o his_o love_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v take_v a_o taste_n of_o it_o and_o with_o a_o delight_n &_o pleasure_n submit_v ourselves_o unto_o it_o not_o refuse_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o doctrine_n therein_o contain_v and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o excuse_n if_o at_o this_o day_n we_o honour_v not_o our_o god_o in_o truth_n renounce_v all_o our_o superstition_n and_o what_o soever_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o service_n and_o why_o because_o he_o shall_v win_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o these_o title_n which_o be_v give_v to_o hold_v we_o in_o his_o fear_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o rule_n and_o power_n he_o have_v over_o we_o all_o and_o when_o he_o call_v himself_o our_o god_o this_o aught_o to_o make_v we_o taste_v his_o fatherly_a goodness_n these_o two_o thing_n be_v here_o comprise_v we_o see_v then_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o that_o we_o geve_v diligent_a ear_n to_o that_o which_o be_v declare_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o thereon_o whole_o rest_v and_o stay_v ourselves_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o upbraid_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o neither_o fear_v nor_o love_v he_o if_o i_o be_v thy_o god_n and_o master_n where_o be_v then_o my_o fear_n 6._o if_o i_o be_v thy_o father_n where_o be_v my_o love_n say_v he_o by_o his_o prophet_n malachi_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o place_n have_v respect_n unto_o this_o which_o moses_n here_o brief_o touch_v for_o when_o god_o name_v himself_o the_o everliving_a he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v bear_v he_o due_a reverence_n when_o he_o name_v himself_o the_o god_o of_o his_o people_n it_o be_v to_o win_v they_o by_o love_n and_o gentleness_n and_o to_o show_v that_o after_o he_o have_v elect_v they_o they_o shall_v geve_v themselves_o over_o whole_o into_o his_o hand_n now_o if_o this_o be_v under_o the_o law_n by_o great_a right_n it_o agree_v unto_o we_o for_o although_o god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a some_o will_v as_o it_o be_v be_v much_o abase_v yet_o for_o all_o this_o remain_v he_o always_o in_o his_o glory_n neither_o be_v any_o thing_n diminish_v from_o the_o highness_n of_o that_o majesty_n whereof_o he_o here_o make_v mention_v the_o abasement_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o infallible_a testimony_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o love_n of_o our_o god_n yet_o howsoever_o it_o be_v this_o ought_v not_o to_o occasion_v we_o to_o contemn_v or_o to_o less_o esteem_n his_o majesty_n for_o god_n in_o this_o sort_n have_v stop_v to_o we_o that_o he_o may_v allure_v we_o to_o behold_v with_o less_o fear_v his_o majesty_n and_o learn_v to_o reverence_v he_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v so_o then_o of_o good_a right_n shall_v he_o reprove_v we_o at_o this_o day_n as_o be_v altogether_o inexcusable_a if_o we_o do_v not_o fear_v and_o love_v he_o for_o he_o show_v himself_o our_o god_o and_o our_o master_n but_o where_o be_v our_o fear_n when_o we_o regard_v not_o that_o he_o command_v we_o when_o we_o have_v harden_v our_o heart_n against_o his_o threaten_n as_o if_o we_o will_v despiteful_o resist_v he_o when_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o wickedness_n and_o although_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v be_v our_o judge_n and_o that_o he_o will_v one_o day_n take_v a_o account_n of_o our_o do_n how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o make_v but_o a_o scorn_n and_o mockery_n of_o it_o where_o be_v i_o say_v the_o fear_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o god_o for_o it_o seem_v that_o we_o will_v fear_v a_o mortal_a creature_n more_o than_o the_o live_a god_o which_o have_v all_o preeminence_n and_o superiority_n and_o mastership_n over_o we_o moreover_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o fear_v god_o after_o some_o servile_a manner_n as_o be_v force_v thereunto_o but_o we_o must_v have_v a_o love_n always_o join_v with_o our_o fear_n for_o therefore_o name_v he_o himself_o our_o father_n and_o let_v we_o also_o note_n that_o when_o he_o declare_v he_o self_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n he_o mean_v by_o this_o word_n that_o he_o be_v our_o saviour_n also_o 12._o thou_o be_v our_o god_n say_v the_o prophet_n abacue_n and_o we_o can_v perish_v so_o then_o let_v we_o keep_v in_o mind_n these_o title_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o appertain_v to_o we_o and_o aught_o to_o serve_v this_o day_n for_o our_o instruction_n know_v that_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o let_v we_o mark_v this_o which_o he_o further_o add_v for_o the_o great_a proof_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n i_o have_v bring_v you_o say_v he_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypte_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n here_o especial_o bind_v unto_o himself_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n above_o all_o other_o nation_n to_o which_o end_n he_o express_o set_v down_o the_o redemption_n he_o have_v wrought_v they_o but_o when_o god_n speak_v we_o must_v consider_v of_o all_o the_o benefit_n for_o the_o which_o we_o be_v indebt_v to_o he_o which_o albeit_o they_o be_v in_o number_n infinite_a and_o inestimable_a yet_o we_o ought_v at_o least_o wise_a call_v they_o to_o mind_n so_o far_o as_o our_o small_a ability_n may_v do_v apply_v all_o our_o wit_n &_o sense_n thereto_o &_o perceive_v that_o we_o fail_v and_o be_v behind_o in_o this_o point_n let_v we_o strain_v ourselves_o better_a to_o mind_v they_o at_o least_o so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v thereby_o instruct_v in_o the_o love_n and_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n do_v then_o god_n speak_v we_o must_v first_o consider_v that_o this_o be_v he_o which_o create_v we_o we_o be_v therefore_o he_o this_o one_o benefit_n be_v sufficient_a to_o provoke_v every_o one_o with_o all_o his_o might_n to_o serve_v &_o honour_v god_n for_o what_o sufficient_a recompense_n can_v we_o make_v he_o if_o there_o be_v but_o this_o that_o he_o have_v place_v we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o of_o his_o mercy_n nourish_v we_o here_o but_o yet_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v cast_v our_o eye_n up_o on_o high_a or_o down_o below_o and_o take_v a_o diligent_a view_n of_o all_o the_o token_n he_o show_v we_o of_o his_o love_n see_v that_o he_o have_v create_v the_o world_n for_o our_o sake_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v all_o thing_n to_o our_o use_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v engrave_v his_o own_o image_n in_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v immortal_a understand_v that_o he_o have_v prepare_v a_o better_a heritage_n for_o we_o than_o this_o brittle_a and_o transitory_a life_n when_o we_o perceive_v all_o these_o thing_n must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v more_o blockish_a and_o brutish_a than_o beast_n if_o we_o be_v not_o ravish_v with_o a_o fervent_a desire_n to_o worship_v our_o god_n to_o vow_v and_o to_o dedicate_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o but_o yet_o further_o than_o this_o we_o must_v make_v inquiry_n and_o enter_v into_o account_n as_o well_o of_o the_o benefit_n which_o be_v bestow_v on_o we_o all_o in_o general_a as_o which_o every_o one_o also_o particular_o receive_v and_o then_o behove_v it_o every_o one_o to_o make_v his_o confession_n with_o david_n lord_n when_o i_o think_v on_o thy_o benefit_n

to_o it_o if_o we_o begin_v not_o at_o this_o love_n and_o why_o for_o god_n require_v a_o willing_a service_n he_o will_v not_o that_o we_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o servile_a fear_n but_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o we_o come_v unto_o his_o worship_n with_o a_o free_a &_o cheerful_a courage_n &_o take_v even_o a_o pleasure_n in_o obey_v &_o honour_v of_o he_o now_o this_o can_v not_o be_v except_o we_o love_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o that_o the_o beginning_n the_o fountain_n the_o foundation_n and_o root_n of_o obedience_n be_v this_o love_n of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o force_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o even_o take_v a_o singular_a delight_n &_o pleasure_n therein_o know_v that_o this_o be_v our_o true_a happiness_n that_o we_o desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o will_n and_o to_o be_v in_o all_o point_n conformable_a to_o the_o same_o and_o moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o love_n can_v not_o be_v in_o we_o before_o we_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o conceive_v god_n our_o adversary_n and_o contrary_a party_n we_o can_v not_o but_o flee_v he_o will_v we_o then_o love_v he_o will_v we_o be_v reform_v to_o his_o obedience_n to_o take_v a_o pleasure_n in_o his_o service_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o show_v himself_o love_v &_o favourable_a towards_o we_o when_o we_o shall_v so_o have_v cast_a the_o great_a love_n he_o bear_v we_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o father_n and_o when_o this_o love_n shall_v be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v obey_v he_o &_o his_o law_n shall_v bear_v rule_n in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n and_o in_o all_o our_o member_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v so_o rebellious_a against_o god_n but_o that_o we_o hate_v he_o as_o we_o have_v before_o say_v again_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v lead_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o &_o our_o do_n in_o order_n according_a to_o his_o justice_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v a_o certain_a conformity_n &_o melody_n between_o the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o all_o our_o desire_n &_o affection_n but_o yet_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v this_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v for_o he_o will_v not_o be_v know_v according_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v hear_v he_o speak_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o yield_v he_o this_o title_n of_o god_n but_o he_o will_v be_v know_v as_o he_o be_v namely_o just_a and_o good_a that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n &_o perfection_n of_o all_o wisdom_n of_o all_o power_n of_o all_o uprightness_n of_o all_o equity_n and_o justice_n now_o then_o let_v we_o conceive_v god_n as_o he_o be_v that_o be_v with_o his_o justice_n and_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o desire_v but_o to_o frame_v and_o fashion_n ourselves_o unto_o he_o contrary_a wise_a when_o we_o shall_v love_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o shall_v be_v wrap_v in_o wickedness_n as_o in_o a_o garment_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o we_o must_v hate_v he_o and_o why_o because_o here_o be_v no_o question_n of_o some_o bare_a nature_n &_o be_v neither_o aught_o we_o to_o imagine_v god_n as_o a_o idol_n but_o we_o must_v comprehend_v he_o in_o his_o justice_n it_o than_o we_o shall_v hate_v this_o which_o be_v in_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o justice_n &_o uprightness_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o hate_v he_o also_o for_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v himself_o he_o can_v be_v disguise_v he_o can_v be_v transfigure_v after_o our_o fancy_n he_o always_o abide_v like_o himself_o so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v all_o they_o which_o love_n god_n they_o fail_v not_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o law_n they_o cease_v not_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v knit_v together_o and_o be_v inseparable_a and_o this_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o here_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o take_v a_o warning_n that_o we_o have_v in_o great_a horror_n than_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o have_v all_o rebellion_n all_o sin_n and_o offence_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n to_o be_v proclaim_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o make_v open_a war_n with_o he_o now_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o can_v turn_v ourselves_o from_o he_o nor_o cast_v off_o his_o yoke_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v convict_v to_o have_v be_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v wage_v open_a battle_n with_o he_o and_o lo_o be_v not_o this_o a_o execrable_a thing_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v to_o have_v our_o sin_n and_o offence_n in_o horror_n and_o detestation_n forasmuch_o as_o by_o they_o we_o be_v accuse_v to_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o also_o must_v show_v himself_o our_o adversary_n party_n withal_o we_o be_v also_o warn_v to_o come_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o pure_a and_o sincere_a affection_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o withhold_v our_o foot_n and_o our_o hand_n and_o our_o eye_n from_o evil_a do_v but_o it_o behove_v that_o our_o heart_n go_v before_o and_o that_o god_n be_v serve_v of_o we_o with_o a_o true_a meaning_n mind_n and_o upright_o affection_n and_o this_o affection_n must_v not_o be_v force_v and_o constrain_v but_o it_o ought_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a love_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o will_v right_o observe_v his_o law_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o god_n be_v unto_o we_o a_o kind_a heart_a father_n gentle_a and_o favourable_a unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v to_o yield_v unto_o he_o like_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o withal_o let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o mock_v &_o deceive_v our_o self_n in_o protest_v that_o we_o love_v god_n if_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o this_o be_v not_o show_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n for_o when_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n moses_n add_v that_o they_o which_o love_v he_o do_v also_o keep_v his_o commandment_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o our_o life_n be_v answerable_a in_o this_o behalf_n and_o that_o it_o bear_v witness_v whether_o we_o love_v god_n or_o whether_o we_o hate_v he_o for_o the_o rest_n which_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n make_v comparison_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n with_o his_o favour_n and_o mercy_n say_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o that_o hate_v he_o to_o the_o third_o and_o four_o generation_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o in_o a_o thousand_o generation_n for_o by_o this_o he_o declare_v that_o which_o be_v better_o and_o more_o folly_n express_v in_o other_o sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_n great_o incline_v to_o compassion_n and_o pity_n 8._o that_o he_o be_v patient_a &_o of_o long_a suffering_n 5._o that_o his_o anger_n endure_v but_o a_o while_n that_o his_o mercy_n be_v to_o life_n &_o endure_v for_o ever_o you_o see_v then_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o draw_v man_n unto_o he_o by_o all_o lenity_n and_o gentleness_n and_o to_o use_v his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o they_o when_o he_o punish_v they_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v against_o his_o nature_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n aswell_o to_o punish_v as_o to_o show_v mercy_n but_o he_o will_v show_v we_o that_o his_o goodness_n be_v much_o more_o great_a and_o brief_o that_o he_o be_v not_o sharp_a and_o rigorous_a but_o desirous_a to_o lay_v open_a his_o heart_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o will_v suffer_v he_o for_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o will_v be_v know_v gracious_a and_o pitiful_a and_o this_o be_v that_o wherein_o his_o principal_a glory_n shine_v therefore_o let_v we_o note_v well_o that_o not_o for_o naught_o moses_n here_o assign_v a_o thousand_o generation_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o restrain_v his_o wrath_n &_o vengeance_n to_o a_o three_o or_o four_o generation_n as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o our_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v superstition_n unpunished_a when_o you_o shall_v have_v pervert_v his_o service_n and_o deface_v his_o honour_n busy_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o dream_n and_o dote_a fanste_n you_o shall_v sure_o feel_v the_o punishment_n and_o your_o
