that_o abraham_n do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n 22.2_o gen._n 22.2_o for_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o to_o bless_v isaac_n and_o to_o raise_v up_o a_o people_n of_o his_o seed_n who_o he_o will_v

to_o appease_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v man_n to_o have_v the_o more_o stay_n of_o themselves_o before_o hand_n and_o to_o consider_v thus_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o come_v to_o

remedy_n for_o it_o aforehande_v and_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o the_o affection_n which_o we_o bring_v natural_o with_o we_o from_o our_o mother_n womb_n be_v utter_o corrupt_v in_o we_o by_o i_o wot_v not_o what_o a_o kind_n of_o lust_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o they_o what_o be_v it_o in_o the_o rest_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o you_o see_v how_o the_o love_n of_o a_o father_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o a_o virtue_n peculiar_a to_o the_o faithful_a as_o it_o be_v for_o that_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o obey_v god_n and_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o commandment_n but_o although_o a_o man_n be_v never_o teach_v it_o ne_o ever_o wist_v what_o the_o service_n of_o god_n mean_v yet_o shall_v he_o well_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v but_o

we_o and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v print_v in_o all_o man_n even_o from_o their_o mother_n womb_n therefore_o we_o have_v here_o a_o good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o we_o must_v fight_v against_o our_o lust_n as_o though_o they_o be_v enemy_n inflame_v against_o we_o with_o all_o rage_n and_o that_o we_o must_v enforce_v ourselves_o in_o this_o case_n for_o

we_o must_v acknowledge_v our_o own_o weakness_n &_o flee_v unto_o god_n who_o in_o the_o end_n will_v give_v we_o a_o happy_a victory_n
if_o one_o strike_v another_o man_n well_o he_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o it_o but_o if_o he_o beat_v his_o father_n or_o his_o mother_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v kill_v a_o man_n else_o there_o be_v no_o order_n or_o reason_n in_o nature_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ground_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o nature_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v confound_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o when_o he_o set_v himself_o so_o against_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o hold_v

we_o will_v now_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o if_o the_o disobedience_n which_o be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n of_o this_o world_n be_v so_o grievous_o punish_v by_o god_n law_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o man_n when_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n true_a it_o be_v that_o here_o god_n speak_v of_o the_o correction_n which_o proceed_v from_o himself_o for_o when_o a_o man_n nurture_v his_o child_n he_o be_v god_n minister_n in_o that_o behalf_n and_o his_o voice_n be_v not_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n but_o of_o

church_n where_o god_n word_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o and_o god_n have_v dedicate_v that_o place_n and_o the_o pulpit_n to_o deliver_v out_o his_o word_n to_o be_v hear_v as_o though_o he_o be_v there_o in_o his_o own_o person_n see_v then_o that_o god_n word_n be_v so_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o so_o preach_v unto_o we_o be_v they_o not_o to_o be_v reject_v

receive_v their_o correction_n and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o they_o it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o he_o himself_o shall_v be_v hear_v and_o obey_v when_o he_o speak_v with_o his_o own_o
