another_o very_a notable_a point_n in_o deed_n i_o have_v touch_v it_o heretofore_o nevertheless_o moses_n make_v a_o large_a declaration_n thereof_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o like_a as_o

and_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v the_o fault_n of_o such_o as_o acknowledge_v they_o and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n tell_v we_o so_o often_o of_o his_o mercy_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v say_v to_o we_o concern_v his_o goodness_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o trust_v in_o he_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n hard_a to_o we_o than_o to_o assure_v

16.15_o &_o ro._n 8.6.7_o that_o we_o be_v full_a of_o vanity_n lease_v and_o unfaithfulnesse_n that_o we_o be_v unruly_a and_o rebellious_a against_o god_n that_o we_o be_v fraught_v full_a of_o

when_o we_o shall_v have_v commit_v any_o gross_a fault_n as_o this_o people_n have_v do_v in_o commit_v abominable_a ydolatrie_n the_o great_a than_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o more_o let_v we_o

to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v let_v we_o bear_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o remembrance_n namely_o that_o although_o we_o be_v never_o so_o wretched_a yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o for_o his_o people_n we_o must_v come_v to_o he_o familiar_o and_o without_o doubt_v for_o he_o guide_v we_o thither_o and_o open_v we_o

the_o stubbornness_n of_o the_o people_n their_o wickedness_n and_o their_o sin_n for_o moses_n here_o make_v not_o a_o ceremonious_a confession_n as_o these_o shameless_a sort_n do_v that_o be_v to_o

must_v come_v after_o another_o fashion_n as_o we_o see_v by_o example_n here_o for_o first_o of_o all_o moses_n set_v down_o stubbornness_n show_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v a_o horrible_a

like_a as_o moses_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o people_n so_o do_v we_o see_v that_o daniel_n speak_v of_o himself_o 5_o daâ—_n â—_o 5_o for_o in_o his_o report_n how_o he_o confess_v his_o own_o sin_n

this_o be_v not_o common_a to_o all_o for_o there_o be_v many_o which_o continue_v froward_a and_o be_v utter_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o church_n and_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o

lest_o our_o lord_n do_v with_o like_a extremity_n pursue_v the_o process_n which_o he_o have_v make_v against_o we_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o refuge_n to_o his_o grace_n after_o

where_o moses_n say_v that_o this_o song_n shall_v be_v for_o a_o witness_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n he_o show_v yet_o better_o what_o testimony_n he_o give_v by_o this_o song_n it_o be_v

of_o that_o land_n be_v augment_v and_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a matter_n how_o such_o a_o huge_a multitude_n be_v nourish_v in_o so_o small_a a_o country_n but_o at_o this_o day_n we_o see_v

unable_a to_o verify_v that_o which_o we_o read_v of_o it_o here_o namely_o that_o the_o land_n do_v flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n but_o herein_o we_o do_v so_o much_o the_o better_o see_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o 107._o psalm_n 107.34_o psal._n 107.34_o namely_o that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v never_o so_o great_a fruitfulness_n to_o a_o land_n he_o can_v make_v it_o barren_a again_o as_o if_o it_o be_v sow_v with_o salt_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o leanness_n nor_o any_o sustenance_n to_o be_v find_v therein_o we_o perceive_v then_o by_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n how_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o give_v abundance_n to_o a_o land_n and_o likewise_o that_o his_o withdraw_n of_o his_o blessing_n cause_v a_o land_n to_o become_v fruitless_a and_o altogether_o barren_a and_o therefore_o do_v moses_n now_o protest_v that_o when_o the_o people_n come_v into_o y_fw-fr e_fw-la land_n and_o there_o be_v nourish_v fill_v and_o fat_v &_o then_o serve_v strange_a god_n they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v so_o much_o the_o more_o and_o then_o they_o must_v not_o look_v for_o any_o startinghole_n but_o be_v discover_v to_o the_o whole_a

nay_o rather_o we_o drag_v back_o from_o that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o righteousness_n and_o upright_o deal_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o bow_v we_o and_o to_o give_v we_o such_o teachablenesse_n as_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o moreover_o when_o he_o have_v grant_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o have_v such_o zeal_n and_o
