have_v come_v to_o pass_v as_o now_o we_o know_v and_o see_v happy_a be_v that_o hart_n that_o be_v content_v with_o god_n will_v and_o praise_v his_o name_n for_o well_o and_o woe_n 22._o 12_o then_o

thus_o if_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o matter_n it_o skill_v not_o what_o i_o do_v but_o they_o use_v the_o appoint_v mean_n and_o leave_v god_n counsel_n to_o himself_o our_o saviour_n flee_v

in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o sacrament_n say_v those_o place_n of_o peter_n and_o paul_n be_v denial_n but_o by_o comparison_n and_o not_o simple_o but_o i_o need_v not_o to_o speak_v in_o this_o

servant_n tale_n i_o pray_v you_o note_v how_o he_o leave_v out_o that_o which_o happy_o may_v have_v offend_v they_o namely_o how_o abraham_n his_o master_n give_v he_o in_o charge_n in_o no_o case_n to_o bring_v back_o his_o son_n among_o his_o kindred_n again_o it_o show_v such_o a_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n in_o a_o good_a servant_n when_o he_o do_v his_o message_n as_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v follow_v of_o all_o that_o read_v it_o and_o it_o show_v also_o that_o although_o no_o untruth_n be_v to_o be_v avoutch_v yet_o neither_o be_v all_o truth_n ever_o and_o at_o all_o time_n to_o be_v declare_v 16_o when_o the_o seruamt_v have_v thus_o show_v how_o all_o thing_n have_v hitherto_o fall_v out_o even_o by_o god_n mighty_a &_o merciful_a direction_n yet_o leave_v he_o liberty_n to_o the_o parent_n &_o friend_n if_o you_o mark_v it_o to_o dispose_v of_o their_o child_n &_o sister_n as_o they_o will_v 49._o so_o see_v we_o in_o those_o day_n how_o the_o godly_a abhor_v to_o wring_v

thou_o neither_o evil_a nor_o good_a behold_v rebekah_n be_v before_o thou_o take_v she_o and_o go_v both_o these_o be_v very_o special_a grace_n where_o god_n do_v grant_v they_o but_o rare_a grace_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v in_o our_o day_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o great_a number_n for_o how_o many_o savour_v nothing_o whatsoever_o you_o say_v out_o of_o god_n book_n unto_o they_o but_o be_v in_o this_o matter_n even_o void_a of_o all_o capacity_n though_o in_o worldly_a cause_n quick_a enough_o note_n then_o for_o affection_n how_o many_o wilful_o strive_v in_o mind_n against_o that_o thing_n that_o yet_o in_o conscience_n they_o be_v convince_v to_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o that_o where_o be_v the_o man_n or_o woman_n almost_o we_o may_v say_v among_o many_o that_o
