intercede_v with_o great_a importunity_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v lord_n if_o it_o will_v not_o be_v that_o thy_o anger_n turn_v away_o from_o this_o people_n have_v mercy_n on_o they_o although_o thou_o blot_v i_o out_o of_o thy_o book_n the_o lord_n answer_n be_v please_v god_n will_v no_o do_v injustice_n to_o punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a moses_n may_v not_o appoint_v god_n who_o he_o shall_v have_v mercy_n on_o for_o god_n know_v better_o have_v moses_n who_o be_v fit_a subject_n for_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o please_v and_o not_o who_o moses_n please_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v moses_n what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v to_o appoint_v i_o who_o i_o shall_v have_v mercy_n on_o and_o who_o i_o shall_v blot_v out_o of_o my_o book_n i_o tell_v thou_o that_o i_o be_o a_o god_n of_o justice_n righteousness_n and_o faithfulness_n so_o that_o i_o can_v punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a and_o therefore_o provoke_v i_o not_o to_o pardon_v israel_n and_o blot_v thou_o out_o of_o my_o book_n for_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o such_o as_o sin_n will_v i_o blot_v out_o of_o my_o book_n and_o as_o for_o this_o people_n i_o have_v find_v they_o a_o rebellious_a and_o a_o stiffnecked_n people_n but_o as_o for_o thou_o i_o have_v know_v by_o name_n viz._n obedient_a meek_a lowly_a and_o humble_a before_o i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v all_o my_o goodness_n pass_v before_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v proclaim_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v be_v gracious_a unto_o who_o i_o will_v be_v gracious_a with_o out_o thy_o appointment_n and_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n so_o then_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o lord_n tell_v moses_n that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n to_o take_v off_o moses_n from_o move_v he_o to_o spare_v israel_n that_o be_v a_o rebellious_a people_n and_o to_o blot_v out_o moses_n that_o walk_v humble_o before_o he_o so_o that_o god_n will_v not_o as_o aforesaid_a punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a and_o so_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a the_o which_o be_v who_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o and_o who_o he_o will_v not_o because_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n &_o that_o be_v brief_o thus_o god_n will_v and_o pleasure_n be_v to_o have_v mercy_n and_o compassion_n on_o such_o as_o fear_v he_o add_v isal_n 1.19_o deut._n 13.17_o ch_n 30.2_o 3_o 4._o exod._n 3.4_o 6_o 7._o num_fw-la 14.18_o much_o more_o may_v be_v add_v and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o to_o destroy_v such_o as_o be_v disobedient_a and_o harden_v themselves_o in_o their_o sin_n against_o he_o and_o this_o the_o scripture_n will_v large_o prove_v who_o so_o doubt_v of_o it_o let_v he_o peruse_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o margin_n and_o thus_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n that_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n be_v the_o people_n of_o who_o and_o to_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o say_v he_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n that_o be_v although_o moses_n do_v intercede_v for_o israel_n and_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o bear_v with_o they_o in_o their_o sin_n but_o say_v as_o it_o be_v on_o this_o wise_a what_o although_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n yet_o that_o enjoin_v i_o not_o to_o bear_v with_o they_o in_o their_o sin_n for_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o therefore_o let_v not_o israel_n trust_v to_o their_o birth-priviledge_n because_o they_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n etc._n etc._n verse_n 16._o so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o of_o he_o that_o run_v but_o of_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n annot._n in_o this_o verse_n the_o apostle_n take_v off_o the_o jew_n from_o willing_a and_o run_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n to_o obtain_v evangelical_n blessing_n or_o otherwise_o destroy_v what_o he_o do_v visible_o build_v for_o he_o do_v press_v man_n to_o run_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o may_v attain_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o these_o word_n 1_o cor._n 9.24_o they_o that_o run_v in_o a_o race_n run_v all_o but_o one_o receive_v the_o prize_n sorun_v that_o you_o may_v obtain_v these_o two_o place_n seem_v to_o oppose_v one_o another_o the_o one_o say_v it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o of_o he_o that_o run_v the_o other_o say_v run_v that_o you_o may_v obtain_v imply_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v obtain_v through_o run_v so_o run_v that_o you_o may_v obtain_v but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v these_o two_o place_n reconcile_v consider_v first_o that_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v or_o of_o he_o that_o run_v he_o mean_v of_o such_o as_o run_v in_o a_o wrong_a way_n and_o when_o he_o say_v so_o run_v that_o you_o may_v obtain_v he_o mean_v such_o as_o run_v in_o the_o right_a way_n for_o illustration_n admit_v of_o this_o comparison_n suppose_v two_o man_n have_v a_o great_a journey_n to_o go_v in_o a_o day_n that_o they_o intend_v to_o accomplish_v by_o night_n they_o both_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o morning_n intheir_o journey_n the_o one_o keep_v his_o strait_a road_n that_o lead_v to_o his_o journey_n end_v in_o the_o which_o way_n he_o hasten_v and_o come_v to_o the_o end_n at_o even_o the_o other_o peradventure_o go_v as_o fast_o as_o he_o but_o he_o go_v the_o contrary_a way_n that_o the_o further_o he_o go_v the_o further_o he_o have_v to_o his_o journey_n end_v now_o the_o one_o through_o willing_a and_o run_v in_o the_o right_a way_n attain_v his_o journey_n end_v the_o other_o although_o he_o will_v and_o run_v yet_o it_o be_v the_o clear_a contrary_a way_n be_v the_o further_a from_o his_o journey_n end_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o run_v to_o obtain_v his_o journey_n end_v because_o he_o be_v in_o a_o wrong_a way_n this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n in_o this_o verse_n it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o do_v will_n or_o run_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n to_o attain_v heaven_n but_o to_o run_v in_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n and_o evangelical_n obedience_n the_o end_n whereof_o be_v everlasting_a life_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o it_o in_o short_a that_o be_v whereas_o it_o say_v it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v or_o of_o he_o that_o run_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o the_o strive_v and_o run_v of_o israel_n according_a to_o the_o law_n will_v not_o help_v they_o in_o point_n of_o justification_n it_o be_v only_a faith_n through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o justifi_v and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n the_o apostle_n full_o clear_v in_o these_o word_n vers_fw-la 31._o but_o israel_n which_o follow_v after_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n have_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n wherefore_o because_o they_o seek_v it_o not_o by_o faith_n but_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n so_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a why_o it_o be_v not_o of_o or_o in_o he_o that_o will_v or_o run_v because_o they_o do_v not_o run_v in_o a_o right_a way_n they_o seek_v it_o not_o by_o faith_n but_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o which_o be_v verse_n 17_o for_o the_o scripture_n say_v unto_o pharaoh_n even_o for_o this_o same_o purpose_n have_v i_o raise_v thou_o up_o that_o i_o may_v show_v my_o power_n in_o thou_o &_o that_o my_o name_n may_v be_v declare_v throughout_o all_o the_o earth_n annot._n from_o this_o verse_n we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o lord_n bring_v pharaoh_n as_o a_o precedent_n of_o his_o power_n and_o justice_n his_o power_n in_o that_o he_o can_v top_v the_o tall_a cedar_n that_o be_v he_o can_v bring_v

prosper_v but_o now_o to_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o verse_n in_o its_o

subtlety_n shall_v have_v cause_v all_o the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n the_o which_o he_o be_v about_o six_o day_n to_o have_v sink_v and_o have_v be_v bury_v in_o the_o grave_a of_o oblivion_n second_o work_n if_o god_n who_o be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n shall_v have_v see_v all_o man_n fall_v alike_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o guilt_n of_o transgression_n and_o have_v save_v some_o and_o leave_v other_o in_o misery_n how_o have_v his_o mercy_n be_v above_o all_o his_o work_n it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o very_a great_a dishonour_n to_o almost_o if_o not_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n to_o have_v redeem_v but_o part_n first_o it_o will_v have_v argue_v weakness_n or_o disability_n in_o god_n in_o leave_v part_n of_o the_o creation_n at_o the_o will_n of_o the_o devil_n or_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v destroy_v the_o attribute_n of_o his_o mercy_n so_o that_o his_o mercy_n have_v not_o be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n three_o it_o will_v have_v destroy_v his_o unsadomable_a and_o universal_a goodness_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o make_v he_o a_o respecter_n of_o person_n the_o which_o he_o have_v declare_v against_o for_o consider_v if_o when_o god_n see_v all_o man_n in_o misery_n and_o all_o create_v and_o fashion_v alike_o by_o he_o and_o all_o fall_v equal_a in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o guilt_n of_o transgression_n if_o god_n shall_v save_v some_o out_o of_o it_o and_o leave_v other_o in_o it_o when_o all_o be_v make_v alike_o and_o all_o have_v sin_v alike_o will_v not_o god_n be_v a_o respecter_n of_o person_n the_o which_o the_o scripture_n plain_o declare_v against_o final_o it_o will_v preach_v such_o a_o doctrine_n as_o this_o that_o although_o god_n do_v command_v the_o gospel_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v offer_v unto_o all_o ministerial_o yet_o it_o never_o be_v intend_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n but_o to_o be_v a_o gospel_n of_o misery_n for_o if_o it_o be_v only_o preach_v to_o leave_v man_n without_o excuse_n and_o that_o to_o take_v advantage_n of_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n and_o to_o communicate_v no_o good_a at_o all_o than_o the_o angel_n do_v not_o preach_v truth_n to_o the_o shepherd_n when_o they_o say_v it_o be_v glad_a tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n to_o all_o man_n but_o if_o your_o opinion_n be_v true_a the_o gospel_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v glad_a tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n to_o all_o man_n that_o it_o be_v the_o worst_a tiding_n that_o ever_o come_v or_o be_v declare_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n the_o truth_n hereof_o no_o rational_a man_n can_v deny_v for_o if_o god_n never_o do_v intend_v in_o the_o tenderness_n of_o the_o gospel_n any_o good_a to_o those_o that_o reject_v it_o only_o intend_v it_o to_o leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n than_o these_o absurdity_n must_v follow_v first_o that_o god_n do_v not_o deal_v faithful_o with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n in_o offer_v that_o unto_o they_o that_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o give_v but_o i_o say_v god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v be_v of_o so_o base_a a_o opinion_n yea_o let_v god_n be_v true_a and_o every_o man_n a_o liar_n and_o let_v every_o christian_a man_n say_v with_o abraham_n shall_v the_o god_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n do_v unrighteous_o sure_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v find_v in_o he_o and_o in_o say_v so_o of_o the_o lord_n you_o make_v he_o like_a to_o hypocrite_n and_o dissembler_n the_o which_o abomination_n be_v abhor_v of_o the_o lord_n i_o can_v speak_v much_o to_o it_o but_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o which_o be_v if_o god_n never_o intend_v salvation_n to_o all_o man_n in_o the_o derness_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n in_o the_o slight_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o neglect_v their_o own_o salvation_n for_o if_o god_n never_o intend_v salvation_n through_o the_o gospel_n to_o such_o as_o reject_v it_o as_o well_o as_o to_o those_o that_o receive_v it_o than_o those_o that_o reject_v it_o reject_v nothing_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o intend_v they_o in_o it_o if_o your_o opinion_n be_v true_a and_o therefore_o can_v reject_v nothing_o neither_o can_v they_o neglect_v their_o own_o salvation_n for_o if_o salvation_n be_v not_o intend_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o such_o as_o sleep_v away_o their_o time_n in_o security_n than_o they_o can_v not_o neglect_v it_o by_o their_o security_n because_o if_o they_o have_v be_v never_o so_o much_o industrious_a yet_o it_o have_v add_v nothing_o unto_o they_o because_o salvation_n be_v never_o intend_v they_o and_o thus_o you_o excuse_v man_n in_o their_o disobedience_n and_o resist_v the_o gospel_n and_o neglect_v mean_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n although_o in_o charity_n i_o judge_v you_o do_v it_o ignorant_o i_o can_v say_v much_o more_o but_o i_o be_o necessitate_v to_o hasten_v and_o come_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v about_o sodom_n fire_n the_o which_o say_v you_o it_o will_v suffer_v much_o upon_o examination_n because_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n the_o which_o be_v call_v the_o second_o death_n but_o it_o be_v call_v eternal_a in_o opposition_n to_o such_o fire_n as_o be_v call_v temporal_a or_o may_v be_v so_o call_v because_o as_o it_o be_v kindle_v by_o man_n so_o it_o be_v put_v out_o by_o man_n the_o which_o that_o fire_n

which_o fall_v on_o the_o captain_n and_o their_o fifty_n for_o their_o sin_n i_o can_v speak_v much_o to_o it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a my_o time_n only_o this_o question_n resolve_v when_o you_o write_v again_o i_o pray_v you_o where_o you_o learn_v such_o a_o doctrine_n and_o what_o reason_n you_o can_v give_v to_o prove_v it_o that_o be_v that_o after_o person_n be_v send_v to_o
