thereunto_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o contrariwise_o see_v that_o it_o no_o way_n let_v he_o to_o serve_v god_n true_o and_o although_o as_o we_o have_v heretofore_o say_v it_o be_v a_o

have_v command_v he_o by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o he_o so_o behave_v himself_o both_o towards_o god_n &_o man_n as_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o excellent_a example_n unto_o we_o of_o true_a humility_n thereby_o to_o show_v we_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o those_o to_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v and_o yet_o so_o to_o as_o that_o we_o always_o give_v unto_o god_n the_o chief_a and_o most_o sovereign_a government_n and_o that_o although_o man_n be_v in_o great_a authority_n yet_o be_v we_o to_o learn_v the_o same_o to_o be_v far_o inferior_a unto_o the_o heavenly_a majesty_n which_o darken_v and_o blemish_v all_o whatsoever_o excellency_n be_v in_o man_n and_o this_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o if_o abraham_n have_v mean_v to_o gratify_v his_o neighbour_n he_o will_v have_v conform_v himself_o also_o unto_o their_o fashion_n and_o never_o once_o have_v say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o god_n by_o himself_o who_o he_o will_v worship_v forsake_v the_o idolatry_n that_o then_o be_v use_v and_o the_o superstition_n wherewith_o the_o land_n be_v full_o pollute_v but_o come_v of_o it_o whatsoever_o may_v he_o full_o protest_v that_o he_o will_v worship_v and_o serve_v god_n sincere_o and_o pure_o wherefore_o he_o have_v as_o we_o have_v hear_v a_o altar_n of_o his_o own_o 23.4_o gen._n 12.7_o and_o 23.4_o upon_o which_o he_o solemn_o sacrifice_v unto_o god_n by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o renounce_v all_o the_o sin_n and_o corruption_n of_o his_o neighbour_n as_o condemn_v and_o despise_v they_o all_o as_o if_o he_o will_v have_v say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a true_a service_n that_o please_v god_n and_o but_o one_o only_a live_a god_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o be_v beside_o be_v but_o mere_a false_a and_o deceitful_a imagination_n and_o although_o he_o before_o have_v no_o certain_a abide_v &_o rest_v place_n but_o wander_v up_o and_o down_o too_o and_o fro_o yet_o never_o cease_v he_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o every_o place_n where_o ever_o he_o come_v show_v thereby_o that_o he_o no_o whit_n like_v of_o the_o sin_n and_o corruption_n that_o then_o bare_a sway_n in_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v here_o one_o special_a reason_n which_o afresh_o move_v he_o to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n and_o it_o be_v this_o because_o he_o now_o receive_v great_a rest_n and_o feel_v more_o benefit_n and_o commodity_n come_v to_o himself_o than_o ever_o at_o any_o time_n heretofore_o for_o before_o that_o time_n he_o never_o dare_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o plant_v any_o tree_n but_o there_o he_o plant_v many_o because_o he_o have_v leave_v to_o dwell_v quiet_o there_o and_o as_o he_o honour_v and_o worship_v a_o earthly_a prince_n who_o be_v king_n of_o that_o country_n even_o so_o likewise_o show_v he_o therewith_o that_o he_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o good_a god_n neither_o yet_o that_o his_o zeal_n wax_v cold_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o hold_v he_o not_o always_o as_o his_o chief_a lord_n although_o he_o subject_v himself_o unto_o he_o and_o be_v content_v to_o remain_v under_o his_o protection_n thus_o here_o we_o see_v namely_o why_o moses_n make_v mention_v that_o abraham_n call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o law_n for_o the_o consecrate_v of_o house_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o write_v and_o yet_o he_o then_o observe_v it_o to_o wit_n he_o effectual_o show_v that_o his_o house_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o so_o must_v also_o all_o the_o faithful_a sure_o purpose_n to_o keep_v their_o dwell_a place_n pure_a and_o clean_a without_o pollution_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o ceremony_n which_o god_n command_v the_o jew_n to_o use_v cease_v at_o this_o day_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v consecrate_v their_o house_n before_o they_o occupy_v they_o but_o the_o truth_n and_o end_n thereof_o whereunto_o god_n have_v respect_n be_v leave_v unto_o we_o to_o wit_n that_o when_o we_o be_v place_v and_o settle_v not_o to_o use_v they_o like_o closet_n to_o shut_v out_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n neither_o yet_o to_o take_v liberty_n to_o walk_v after_o our_o own_o appetite_n and_o lust_n but_o see_v god_n have_v vouchsafe_v we_o this_o favour_n to_o grant_v we_o house_n to_o dwell_v in_o although_o they_o stand_v in_o never_o so_o base_a a_o outcorner_n of_o a_o backside_n yet_o let_v we_o there_o honour_v he_o and_o whole_o dedicate_v they_o unto_o his_o service_n and_o worship_n now_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v dedicate_v the_o wall_n and_o roof_n unto_o he_o but_o the_o whole_a household_n to_o wit_n we_o shall_v be_v whole_o he_o and_o make_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n a_o oblation_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o labour_n also_o to_o make_v the_o rest_n to_o be●ike_v and_o agreeable_a therein_o now_o to_o say_v true_o a_o householder_n shall_v first_o of_o all_o begin_v with_o himself_o and_o yet_o he_o must_v not_o forget_v neither_o to_o have_v his_o wife_n also_o well_o instruct_v and_o beside_o if_o god_n have_v bestow_v child_n and_o servant_n upon_o he_o he_o be_v to_o look_v that_o they_o be_v all_o hold_v within_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n as_o here_o it_o be_v say_v that_o abraham_n hold_v his_o household_n but_o to_o say_v true_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n seldom_o use_v for_o we_o see_v that_o every_o man_n will_v serve_v god_n as_o best_o like_v himself_o make_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o it_o be_v little_a or_o no_o account_n of_o his_o majesty_n for_o if_o master_n and_o mistress_n may_v ho●de_v their_o servant_n to_o their_o work_n which_o may_v benefit_n they_o they_o think_v all_o be_v well_o but_o if_o god_n be_v never_o so_o much_o blaspheme_v and_o contemn_v and_o the_o house_n so_o profane_v as_o that_o there_o be_v neither_o zeal_n nor_o yet_o religion_n in_o it_o there_o be_v no_o word_n make_v of_o it_o but_o all_o be_v well_o but_o let_v they_o assure_v themselves_o hereof_o that_o god_n will_v not_o slight_o lose_v his_o right_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v so_o to_o use_v our_o dwell_a house_n as_o that_o god_n may_v there_o dwell_v with_o we_o as_o our_o chief_a governor_n and_o let_v both_o great_a and_o small_a dedicate_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o therewithal_o not_o only_o offer_v up_o unto_o he_o their_o soul_n but_o their_o body_n also_o neither_o let_v they_o think_v which_o can_v honour_v god_n without_o it_o be_v to_o the_o hazard_n of_o their_o life_n that_o they_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v excuse_v if_o they_o honour_v he_o not_o for_o that_o be_v the_o most_o

they_o with_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o to_o abide_v they_o will_v seem_v nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o here_o see_v and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o god_n wonderful_o spare_v our_o weakness_n in_o not_o bring_v we_o thus_o far_o for_o if_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v be_v visit_v with_o any_o sickness_n that_o shall_v last_v long_o we_o will_v so_o sorrow_n and_o grieve_v as_o that_o we_o will_v be_v very_o angry_a with_o god_n again_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v die_v his_o wife_n will_v grow_v so_o melancholy_n as_o that_o she_o will_v be_v altogether_o impatient_a and_o murmur_a if_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o any_o of_o our_o child_n yea_o although_o we_o have_v many_o we_o will_v be_v angry_a with_o ourselves_o and_o weep_v and_o mourn_v extreme_o and_o therefore_o what_o will_v we_o do_v if_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o this_o pass_n as_o here_o it_o be_v say_v even_o to_o kill_v with_o our_o own_o hand_n our_o own_o child_n and_o not_o leave_v one_o alive_a but_o dispatch_v our_o house_n of_o they_o all_o yet_o will_v not_o all_o this_o be_v any_o whit_n comparable_a unto_o abraham_n his_o trial_n for_o the_o child_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o now_o at_o this_o day_n be_v not_o the_o ground_n work_n of_o our_o salvation_n neither_o ought_v we_o to_o leave_v the_o have_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n although_o all_o human_a knowledge_n shall_v perish_v and_o decay_v wherefore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n support_v we_o and_o pity_v our_o weakness_n when_o as_o he_o bring_v not_o we_o unto_o so_o hard_a a_o trial_n as_o this_o which_o moses_n here_o make_v mention_n of_o let_v this_o then_o be_v a_o good_a advertisement_n unto_o we_o that_o when_o god_n shall_v prove_v we_o that_o we_o yield_v our_o neck_n to_o the_o yoke_n &_o suffer_v he_o to_o make_v trial_n of_o us._n and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o principal_a point_n of_o all_o our_o life_n so_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o as_o that_o god_n may_v dispose_v of_o we_o as_o please_v he_o and_o not_o grudge_o reply_v and_o say_v that_o he_o deal_v thus_o and_o thus_o hardly_o with_o us._n this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o chief_a point_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n in_o very_a deed_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o this_o be_v a_o very_a excellent_a great_a good_a gift_n in_o we_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o walk_v in_o integrity_n of_o life_n among_o our_o neighbour_n to_o do_v no_o man_n wrong_v to_o live_v chaste_o and_o sober_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n eschew_v all_o drunkenness_n intemperancy_n blasphemy_n and_o such_o like_a well_o sir_n i_o must_v needs_o in_o truth_n say_v that_o these_o be_v great_a virtue_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o always_o find_v in_o we_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a point_n for_o the_o principall_a point_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v this_o that_o when_o we_o serve_v god_n although_o many_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n torment_v we_o although_o the_o devil_n sound_v we_o alarm_n and_o lie_v in_o ambush_n for_o we_o although_o man_n grow_v so_o perverse_a and_o wicked_a as_o that_o one_o spur_v we_o here_o another_o strike_v we_o there_o and_o another_o seek_v our_o utter_a destruction_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n although_o we_o hang_v our_o wing_n as_o we_o say_v although_o we_o be_v hungerbit_n and_o altogether_o blame_v &_o contemn_v although_o all_o these_o thing_n fall_v out_o for_o our_o share_n and_o portion_n yet_o must_v we_o so_o bless_v the_o name_n of_o god_n as_o that_o we_o must_v mitigate_v and_o ease_v all_o our_o anguish_n and_o suffering_n and_o be_v ready_a always_o to_o say_v o_o lord_n thy_o will_n be_v do_v deal_v with_o we_o as_o it_o please_v thou_o and_o although_o this_o gear_n shall_v fall_v out_o far_o worse_o than_o thus_o yet_o must_v we_o receive_v all_o thing_n patient_o now_o when_o as_o we_o shall_v grow_v unto_o this_o patience_n that_o no_o doubt_n be_v the_o most_o principal_a mark_n that_o we_o must_v shoot_v at_o and_o above_o all_o thing_n this_o history_n ought_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o move_v be_v respect_v and_o meditate_a of_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v show_v that_o unto_o we_o which_o we_o be_v to_o comprehend_v from_o our_o father_n abraham_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v follow_v his_o example_n and_o when_o as_o god_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v shall_v have_v thus_o frame_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o to_o this_o pass_n let_v we_o dedicate_v ourselves_o and_o all_o that_o we_o have_v unto_o his_o majesty_n for_o it_o abraham_n have_v not_o have_v this_o ground_n and_o principle_n without_o doubt_n he_o have_v never_o step_v one_o foot_n forward_o but_o have_v rather_o flee_v away_o from_o god_n than_o have_v come_v near_o he_o howbeit_o he_o have_v not_o this_o principle_n as_o from_o himself_o but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n he_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o use_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o back_o as_o it_o please_v he_o but_o must_v make_v a_o reckon_n of_o it_o to_o he_o that_o give_v it_o he_o say_v here_o be_o i_o as_o after_o ward_n he_o show_v it_o for_o when_o god_n call_v he_o and_o say_v abraham_n here_o be_o i_o lord_n quoth_v he_o this_o answer_n show_v that_o abraham_n be_v as_o it_o be_v ready_a at_o hand_n to_o receive_v the_o commandment_n which_o god_n will_v give_v he_o even_o as_o a_o diligent_a servant_n shall_v do_v for_o if_o his_o master_n go_v forth_o he_o be_v by_o and_o by_o at_o his_o heel_n to_o say_v will_v it_o please_v you_o to_o have_v any_o thing_n with_o i_o and_o if_o his_o master_n tarry_v within_o door_n he_o will_v settle_v himself_o to_o harken_v what_o his_o master_n will_v command_v he_o as_o to_o bid_v he_o do_v this_o or_o go_v to_o such_o a_o place_n so_o then_o abraham_n show_v that_o he_o serve_v not_o himself_o nor_o his_o own_o affection_n but_o so_o dedicate_v himself_o unto_o god_n as_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v be_v his_o also_o neither_o do_v he_o this_o hypocritical_o as_o a_o great_a many_o of_o man_n may_v say_v unto_o god_n with_o their_o mouth_n here_o be_o i_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o befarre_o enough_o from_o he_o but_o when_o abraham_n say_v here_o be_o i_o he_o protest_v thereby_o that_o he_o be_v even_o before_o god_n for_o afterward_o he_o protest_v that_o his_o foot_n hand_n eye_n ear_n all_o his_o sense_n and_o all_o the_o part_n both_o of_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v ready_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o to_o put_v his_o neck_n under_o his_o
