mine Isaac God No saith God take thy son even Isaac Abraham Lord he is mine onely son he hath not a Brother nor are there any more in Sarahs wombe Lord I begge onely this spare mine onely son God No saith God take thine onely son Abraham Why Lord I have had him but a little while if thou wilt take him yet good Lord let mine Isaac and I laugh together yet a while God No saith God take him now Abraham But Lord I love him and so that to take Isaac is to take my life which is bound up in the life of the lad and if thou take him away thou wilt bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave God Well saith God I know thou lovest him but must you not love me better offer up this son this onely son this Isaac whom thou lovest Abraham But Lord though thou art righteous when I plead with thee yet let me talk with thee of thy Judgements What will the wicked say when they shall hear that thou delightest in blood and that thy servants must offer their children unto thee Lord who will serve thee at this rate God Well saith God I take but mine own and I may do with mine own what I please I that give may take and therefore minde not you what the world will say but what I say and I say offer thy son Abraham But Lord hast thou not commanded me to do no murther and must I now imbrue mine hands in blood and in mine own blood too Oh happy I might my blood go for his Oh Isaac Isaac my son Isaac my son my son would God I might die for thee Oh Isaac my son my son Lord how can this stand with the Law which thou hast given me God Abraham saith God such things are not first just and then willed by me but willed by me and therefore just Abraham doe you not know that I can repeal or make exceptions 't is I that say it therefore doe it Who is this that darkneth counsel by words without knowledge gird up now thy loins like a man smite him kill him have not I commanded thee be couragious and a son of valour goe and offer thy son Abraham But good Lord thou hast made this exception when thou didst shew man what was good and pleasing in thine eyes thou wouldest not that he should give his first-born for his transgression nor the fruit of his body for the sins of his soul but to do justly to love mercy and to walk humbly with God to obey thou sayest it is better then sacrifice and to hearken then the fat of rams God Well then saith God hearken and obey this is to do justice this is Oh wonder to shew mercy this is to walk humbly with thy God Abraham Seeing I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord I will yet say Lord he is the son of the promise in whom thou hast said that all the nations of the earth shall be blessed now Lord if he die and die a childe without children where then is the blessednesse thou spakest of what will become of the blessing God Well Abraham saith God perform you what I command and I will perform what I promise What will Abraham who was once not weak in faith and considered not his own body nor Sarah's when 't was dead who staggered not through unbelief at my promise but was strong in faith and gave me glory who was fully perswaded that what I had promised I was able to perform and was not disappointed of his hope though against hope will this Abraham now call me in question hast thou known my name and wilt thou not trust in me am not I the Lord who change not have I said it and shall it not come to passe is there any thing too hard for God am not I able to raise up even out of stones to raise up children unto Abraham Cannot I say to dry bones live thou hast received him from the dead in a figure and were Isaac in the grave could not I who am the resurrection from the dead say Isaac come forth arise and walk that thy father may receive thee with double joy saying Isaac my son who was dead yea who was twice dead is alive Abraham offer thy son Abraham My dear Lord seeing I who am but dust and ashes have taken upon me to speak unto thee Oh let not my Lord be angry if I speak once more If I may not prevail to Oh that I might prevail to save Isaac alive yet let me intreat thee that I may not be the Priest let not mine hand be upon him how can I see the death of the childe Good Lord let some other doe it surely I cannot lift up my hand or if I doe shall I not wish it may wither or be turned into a stone will not these eyes run down with rivers of tears Ah Lord I can speak no more mine heart will break mine hand will shake Send by whom thou wilt send let me Oh let me not go God Yes thou take him thou and goe thou and offer him thou none but thou Abraham Ah Lord yet once more but this once more and I have done I am old and full of daies past travail spare me a little let me not goe so far as the land of Moriah let it if it must be let it be done at home God No Abraham take now thy son thine onely son Isaac whom thou lovest and get thee into the Land of Moriah and offer him there no where but there Thus you have seen if not a faith of Miracles yet a Miracle of faith that one who had so much and more to say should say nothing but rise up early in the morning after he had slept upon it if sleep he could and saddle his asse and take two of his young men and Isaac his son and cleave the wood and rise up and goe to the place and lest he should be interrupted by his servants he left them with the asses and laies the wood upon his son his son Isaac he must bear his crosse and when this innocent soul this Lamb did open his mouth not to complain but to ask for another he tells him could Abraham tell him without a sigh that God would provide and what 's Abraham about to doe now what to binde him Ah Abraham was thine heart in thy hand or thy hand in thine heart What and lay him on the Altar Tears Abraham tears What and stretch forth his hand and take the knife to slay his son Oh wonder Yet Abraham is so far from holding or praying to God to hold his hand that the Lord himself cries out Oh Abraham hold thy hand This is Abraham of whom God saith now I know thou fearest lovest me seeing thou hast not withheld thy son thine onely son from me How then with admiration and adoration may we say to God now we know thou lovest us in that thou hast not
