he_o with_o rigour_n he_o may_v have_v condemn_v he_o with_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o what_o be_v there_o in_o abraham_n to_o make_v god_n to_o be_v behold_v unto_o he_o so_o then_o we_o be_v all_o confound_v in_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n leave_v we_o but_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o free_a promise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v unto_o we_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n and_o fatherly_a love_n &_o hang_v thereon_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o cause_n say_v i_o why_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v that_o in_o our_o work_v there_o be_v no_o righteousness_n which_o may_v answer_v for_o we_o before_o god_n but_o we_o be_v all_o to_o be_v condemn_v but_o now_o god_n have_v so_o receive_v we_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o not_o only_o for_o a_o day_n but_o for_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n not_o that_o we_o shall_v sin_v under_o colour_n that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o but_o because_o we_o be_v frail_a and_o weak_a god_n will_v always_o continue_v his_o goodness_n towards_o us._n and_o far_o when_o we_o do_v any_o good_a there_o be_v yet_o some_o evil_n even_o in_o that_o good_a which_o we_o do_v for_o we_o never_o give_v any_o alm_n with_o such_o perfectness_n as_o be_v requisite_a but_o god_n may_v always_o find_v some_o fault_n or_o other_o in_o it_o it_o be_v with_o our_o work_n as_o man_n use_v to_o say_v of_o wine_n that_o there_o be_v still_o some_o fault_n or_o other_o in_o it_o it_o be_v good_a wine_n will_v one_o say_v but_o it_o have_v take_v wind_n it_o be_v too_o sharp_a it_o be_v musty_a or_o there_o be_v i_o know_v not_o what_o in_o it_o it_o be_v turn_v and_o so_o the_o wine_n be_v nothing_o worth_a even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o our_o work_n there_o be_v always_o some_o spot_n or_o other_o in_o they_o so_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v just_a cause_n to_o reject_v they_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v bear_v withal_o at_o his_o hand_n as_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v withal_o by_o his_o father_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o have_v make_v we_o such_o a_o express_a promise_n by_o his_o prophet_n malachi_n 103.13_o mal._n 3.17_o psal._n 103.13_o that_o he_o will_v spare_v we_o even_o as_o a_o father_n spare_v his_o child_n who_o perceive_v his_o child_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o command_v he_o although_o he_o do_v not_o his_o work_n so_o perfect_o as_o be_v requisite_a he_o shall_v will_v not_o deal_v rigorous_o with_o he_o if_o so_o be_v he_o go_v about_o it_o with_o a_o willing_a and_o cheerful_a mind_n so_o than_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n but_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n that_o our_o work_n shall_v be_v reckon_v unto_o we_o for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v because_o god_n accept_v they_o and_o why_o be_v it_o because_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v accept_v or_o for_o that_o they_o have_v any_o merit_n in_o they_o no._n but_o because_o of_o the_o covenaunt_n and_o agreement_n which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o we_o that_o see_v we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o bear_v with_o we_o he_o pardon_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o accept_v that_o which_o we_o offer_v unto_o he_o although_o it_o be_v worth_a nothing_o yet_o be_v it_o enough_o that_o he_o accept_v of_o it_o according_a unto_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o the_o almesdeede_n which_o we_o do_v for_o god_n sake_n shall_v be_v accept_v at_o his_o hand_n for_o righteousness_n and_o this_o let_v not_o but_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v alonelie_o by_o faith_n for_o when_o righteousness_n be_v refer_v unto_o his_o fountain_n from_o whence_o proceed_v it_o from_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n in_o that_o he_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n now_o since_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o that_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v any_o contradiction_n in_o these_o place_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o brief_o note_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n say_v that_o the_o alm_n which_o we_o bestow_v shall_v be_v reckon_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v to_o encourage_v we_o the_o more_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o fear_v that_o either_o our_o pain_n or_o our_o money_n be_v lose_v when_o we_o have_v relieve_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o when_o we_o have_v this_o lesson_n we_o will_v not_o come_v and_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n upon_o our_o work_v but_o we_o will_v always_o build_v the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n on_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n and_o upon_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o sacrifice_n we_o be_v reconcile_v and_o through_o who_o obedience_n all_o our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n be_v do_v away_o this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o assure_v we_o of_o our_o salvation_n and_o thus_o when_o we_o have_v settle_v our_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o the_o only_a mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n we_o will_v have_v no_o mind_n to_o stand_v upon_o our_o work_v but_o it_o will_v suffice_v we_o that_o be_v accept_v by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n without_o any_o merit_n or_o deseruable_a worthiness_n of_o our_o work_n he_o will_v give_v we_o will_n strength_n and_o power_n to_o serve_v he_o to_o serve_v he_o i_o say_v not_o after_o our_o own_o fantasy_n but_o according_o as_o he_o command_v us._n now_o let_v we_o kneel_v down_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o take_v they_o away_o and_o therewithal_o so_o to_o refourme_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o our_o

the_o five_o upon_o the_o four_o and_o twentieth_o chapter_n 14_o thou_o shall_v not_o defraud_v the_o hire_a servant_n which_o be_v needy_a and_o poor_a neither_o of_o thy_o brethren_n nor_o of_o the_o stranger_n which_o be_v in_o thy_o land_n within_o thy_o gate_n 15_o thou_o shall_v give_v he_o his_o hire_n for_o his_o day_n before_o the_o sun_n go_v dowen_v for_o he_o be_v poor_a and_o therewith_o sustain_v he_o his_o life_n lest_o he_o cry_v against_o thou_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v sin_n unto_o thou_o 16_o the_o father_n shall_v not_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o the_o child_n neither_o shall_v the_o child_n die_v for_o the_o father_n but_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o his_o own_o sin_n 17_o thou_o shall_v not_o wrest_v the_o right_n of_o the_o stranger_n nor_o of_o the_o fatherless_a neither_o shall_v thou_o take_v the_o widow_n raiment_n to_o pledge_v 18_o but_o thou_o shall_v remember_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o servant_n in_o egypt_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n deliver_v thou_o thence_o therefore_o i_o command_v thou_o to_o do_v this_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v not_o great_a wickedness_n and_o cruelty_n in_o man_n it_o be_v needless_a to_o set_v down_o any_o such_o law_n as_o be_v here_o contain_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o withhold_v not_o from_o a_o poor_a man_n the_o wage_n which_o he_o have_v earn_v for_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v his_o blood_n according_a as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o face_n shall_v thou_o eat_v thy_o bread_n 103.13_o therefore_o when_o a_o man_n bestow_v himself_o in_o our_o service_n we_o ought_v at_o least_o wise_a to_o give_v he_o that_o wherewithal_o he_o be_v sustain_v and_o nourish_v and_o therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o if_o we_o have_v but_o one_o drop_n of_o kindness_n in_o we_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v this_o doctrine_n for_o nature_n teach_v we_o what_o be_v right_a and_o indifferent_a let_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v when_o we_o read_v you_o to_o which_o i●_n write_v here_o that_o we_o be_v accuse_v before_o god_n of_o be_v as_o brute_n beast_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n for_o god_n will_v suffer_v we_o to_o follow_v on_o our_o own_o course_n if_o he_o see_v
but_o we_o must_v submit_v ourselves_o whole_o in_o all_o point_n to_o y_z t_z which_o he_o say_v thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v remember_v upon_o this_o place_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v when_o this_o be_v treat_v of_o for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n speak_v of_o this_o instruction_n why_o so_o for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o subdue_v it_o be_v hard_o for_o we_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o god_n nay_o rather_o we_o draw_v clean_a back_n from_o he_o therefore_o must_v our_o lord_n be_v fain_o to_o correct_v this_o loftiness_n in_o we_o and_o when_o he_o see_v we_o after_o that_o sort_n either_o rebellious_a or_o stubborn_a or_o that_o we_o be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n he_o must_v use_v such_o mean_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v fit_a to_o reclaim_v we_o withal_o we_o see_v how_o moses_n say_v here_o that_o the_o wonder_n which_o be_v wrought_v at_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o law_n serve_v as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o nurture_a to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v no_o more_o be_v so_o unruly_a as_o they_o have_v be_v before_o but_o become_v more_o fit_n to_o be_v teach_v but_o this_o vice_n reign_v not_o among_o the_o jew_n only_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v continual_o among_o all_o man_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o make_v our_o own_o profit_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o for_o the_o authorise_a of_o his_o word_n that_o we_o play_v not_o the_o wood_n beast_n but_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o meek_a sheep_n and_o lamb_n to_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o our_o shepherd_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o place_n and_o now_o he_o say_v because_o god_n love_v thy_o father_n therefore_o have_v he_o choose_v their_o seed_n after_o they_o howbeit_o that_o he_o say_v thy_o seed_n after_o he_o moses_n change_v here_o the_o number_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o father_n he_o return_v to_o one_o alone_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o abraham_n because_o it_o be_v he_o with_o who_o god_n make_v the_o covenant_n and_o again_o it_o serve_v to_o magnify_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v mention_v here_o as_o shall_v be_v declare_v anon_o more_o at_o large_a the_o effect_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o thing_n y_z t_o moses_n intend_v to_o tell_v y_z e_o people_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a shame_n for_o they_o and_z y_z t_z they_o be_v unexcusable_a if_o they_o know_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_o their_o god_n and_o why_o because_o god_n of_o his_o own_o free_a mercy_n choose_v they_o not_o for_o that_o they_o be_v better_a than_o other_o nation_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v more_o at_o length_n hereafter_o or_o for_o that_o there_o be_v more_o nobleness_n worthiness_n or_o virtue_n in_o they_o but_o for_o that_o it_o please_v he_o to_o love_v their_o father_n now_o we_o see_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v thus_o you_o have_v here_o a_o inestimable_a benefit_n above_o all_o people_n namely_o that_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o reign_v among_o you_o that_o he_o have_v sanctify_v you_o to_o himself_o that_o you_o be_v his_o

must_v needs_o grant_v that_o sometime_o they_o be_v as_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v rightful_a still_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o always_o

that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o yield_v any_o account_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n command_v we_o seem_v strange_a let_v we_o hold_v our_o mind_n in_o awe_n and_o

when_o we_o see_v he_o utter_v such_o rigour_n towards_o other_o as_o to_o we_o may_v seem_v excessive_a therein_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n towards_o we_o for_o he_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o our_o sin_n have_v well_o deserve_v that_o as_o much_o shall_v befall_v we_o but_o god_n bear_v with_o we_o of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n therefore_o let_v we_o stand_v in_o awe_n for_o though_o god_n use_v goodness_n and_o patience_n towards_o we_o as_o now_o yet_o have_v not_o he_o forget_v our_o fault_n except_o we_o ourselves_o do_v bear_v they_o in_o mind_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understnd_v y_fw-mi t_o god_n may_v just_o destroy_v we_o and_o thereupon_o let_v we_o call_v ourselves_o home_n to_o he_o and_o prevent_v the_o thing_n y_fw-fr t_o be_v

notwithstanding_o must_v god_n remain_v always_o firm_a in_o his_o purpose_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n also_o speak_v 11.29_o rom._n 11.29_o say_v that_o the_o call_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o
