a_o man_n which_o take_v into_o his_o thought_n the_o law_n of_o god_n must_v by_o his_o meditation_n chew_v upon_o it_o and_o when_o he_o have_v find_v out_o the_o sweet_a matter_n that_o be_v in_o it_o his_o affection_n must_v swallow_v it_o greedy_o and_o he_o must_v not_o cease_v to_o work_v upon_o it_o till_o he_o have_v make_v the_o power_n thereof_o appear_v in_o his_o liberal_a hand_n in_o his_o godly_a lip_n and_o in_o a_o word_n even_o in_o his_o whole_a outward_a man_n for_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o the_o whole_a man_n mat._n 5._o the_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v by_o the_o gloss_n of_o the_o pharisee_n be_v restrain_v to_o the_o hand_n as_o if_o thou_o be_v nothing_o but_o thy_o hand_n and_o to_o kill_v be_v nothing_o but_o to_o shed_v blood_n it_o be_v true_a that_o what_o a_o man_n do_v by_o a_o part_n the_o whole_a become_v guilty_a of_o it_o but_o then_o he_o must_v know_v that_o there_o i●_n no_o part_n but_o may_v contract_v his_o guilt_n a_o man_n may_v commit_v murder_n with_o his_o tongue_n and_o he_o may_v commit_v it_o with_o his_o affection_n this_o the_o pharisee_n know_v not_o and_o because_o he_o know_v not_o he_o teach_v not_o and_o his_o disciple_n practise_v not_o and_o so_o both_o of_o they_o for_o want_n of_o meditation_n scant_v the_o entertainment_n which_o they_o be_v to_o give_v unto_o the_o law_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o if_o we_o tread_v in_o their_o step_n and_o learn_v not_o how_o to_o dedicate_v ourselves_o to_o god_n who_o law_n we_o must_v delight_n in_o meditate_v upon_o and_o affect_v that_o so_o we_o may_v occasional_o set_v on_o work_v the_o tongue_n and_o the_o hand_n and_o may_v utter_v and_o act_n with_o the_o outward_a man_n those_o thing_n which_o we_o conceive_v and_o love_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o must_v be_v dedicate_v but_o how_o long_o day_n and_o night_n say_v the_o psalm_n for_o first_o we_o must_v meditate_v day_n and_o night_n which_o word_n some_o take_v proper_o some_o improper_o improper_o the_o day_n note_v prosperity_n and_o the_o night_n adversity_n these_o signification_n be_v frequent_a in_o the_o scripture_n and_o then_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o be_v we_o as_o happy_a as_o solomon_n or_o bring_v as_o low_a as_o job_n neither_o condition_n must_v make_v we_o forget_v our_o meditation_n this_o be_v a_o work_n for_o all_o time_n for_o hereunto_o shall_v we_o be_v behold_v for_o our_o temperate_a use_v of_o prosperity_n and_o resolute_a bear_n of_o adversity_n but_o take_v the_o word_n proper_o and_o then_o because_o the_o proposition_n be_v affirmative_a some_o think_v that_o it_o hold_v semper_fw-la but_o not_o ad_fw-la semper_fw-la that_o though_o habitual_a meditation_n must_v never_o be_v want_v in_o we_o yet_o the_o actual_a need_v not_o be_v exercise_v but_o as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o but_o if_o we_o take_v meditation_n together_o with_o the_o fore_n mention_v action_n which_o must_v go_v with_o it_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o the_o proposition_n will_v hold_v semper_fw-la and_o adsemper_n for_o when_o be_v we_o not_o do_v speak_v or_o think_v and_o which_o of_o these_o can_v be_v perfect_a without_o meditation_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v not_o our_o life_n be_v a_o perpetual_a meditation_n and_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v say_v that_o we_o shall_v meditate_v on_o god_n law_n day_n and_o night_n sure_o i_o be_o 6._o deut._n 6._o that_o moses_n speak_v thus_o unto_o israel_n these_o word_n which_o i_o command_v thou_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v in_o thy_o heart_n and_o

to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o envious_a man_n will_v always_o be_v sow_v tare_n therefore_o we_o must_v never_o sleep_v the_o enemy_n will_v be_v always_o give_v a_o assault_n therefore_o we_o

meditate_v upon_o the_o law_n so_o we_o must_v delight_n in_o it_o day_n and_o night_n this_o circumstance_n of_o time_n must_v not_o be_v restrain_v only_o unto_o meditation_n but_o enlarge_v also_o unto_o delight_n neither_o must_v it_o only_o belong_v to_o our_o dedication_n but_o to_o our_o abrenuntiation_n also_o for_o meditation_n when_o it_o go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o season_v the_o

late_a shall_v subsist_v without_o the_o former_a therefore_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v this_o last_o we_o must_v continue_v all_o the_o rest_n which_o must_v needs_o go_v before_o it_o whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o except_o this_o text_n be_v understand_v of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n who_o only_o have_v perform_v this_o vow_n which_o be_v undertake_v by_o

with_o man_n a_o mercy_n to_o be_v wonder_v at_o for_o god_n be_v a_o creator_n man_n his_o creature_n therefore_o god_n may_v require_v whatsoever_o man_n can_v do_v a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v

owe_v the_o one_o to_o he_o he_o owe_v the_o other_o also_o and_o yet_o see_v how_o gracious_a god_n be_v unto_o man_n he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n serve_v he_o for_o nought_o this_o be_v signify_v in_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o bondservant_n and_o make_v he_o his_o farmer_n the_o law_n say_v of_o bond_n he_o make_v he_o free_a and_o inable_v he_o as_o well_o to_o implead_v his_o master_n as_o to_o be_v implead_v by_o he_o and_o do_v not_o god_n in_o a_o manner_n do_v we_o the_o like_a favour_n when_o he_o do_v contract_n to_o give_v a_o reward_n unto_o our_o service_n whereby_o he_o become_v bind_v to_o perform_v and_o we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o challenge_v it_o it_o be_v honour_n enough_o do_v unto_o our_o nature_n if_o only_o it_o be_v vouchsafe_v some_o near_a attendance_n unto_o god_n and_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o a_o great_a reward_n to_o have_v our_o person_n so_o employ_v how_o much_o more_o honour_n than_o be_v do_v unto_o we_o when_o god_n not_o only_o yield_v that_o but_o a_o much_o high_a advancement_n also_o for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v serve_v god_n for_o a_o reward_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n do_v clear_v this_o doubt_n for_o see_v god_n put_v on_o the_o person_n
if_o my_o text_n do_v not_o express_o affirm_v yet_o will_v it_o by_o consequence_n infer_v that_o god_n make_v no_o account_n of_o this_o ceremonial_a worship_n but_o this_o be_v a_o paradox_n for_o sacrifice_n be_v the_o peculiar_a of_o god_n and_o no_o man_n ever_o offer_v they_o but_o only_o unto_o he_o who_o be_v or_o at_o least_o be_v repute_v to_o be_v god_n neither_o any_o that_o have_v

that_o end_n choose_v this_o kind_n of_o sacrilege_n by_o sacrifice_n they_o have_v entiled_a themselves_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o god_n out_o of_o his_o jealousy_n make_v it_o death_n for_o any_o man_n to_o sacrifice_v to_o any_o other_o but_o himself_o 20._o exod_n 22_o 20._o and_o for_o himself_o he_o give_v this_o express_a law_n 23.15_o exod._n 23.15_o thou_o shall_v not_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n empty_a and_o what_o be_v that_o but_o thou_o shall_v sacrifice_v unto_o he_o but_o to_o come_v more_o close_o unto_o the_o point_n we_o find_v direct_o in_o the_o law_n god_n both_o precept_n and_o promise_n concern_v sacrifice_n his_o precept_n for_o in_o levit._n to_o name_n no_o other_o place_n how_o curious_o do_v god_n distinguish_v the_o kind_n set_v down_o the_o circumstance_n of_o all_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o accessory_n thereunto_o and_o that_o by_o way_n of_o command_n the_o patriarch_n before_o moses_n do_v sacrifice_v and_o can_v we_o be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o think_v they_o do_v it_o without_o the_o direction_n of_o god_n no_o very_o for_o they_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n as_o the_o precept_n be_v clear_a so_o be_v the_o promise_n also_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o in_o the_o same_o place_n where_o you_o find_v the_o precept_n in_o the_o first_o and_o second_o of_o levit._n you_o shall_v find_v it_o call_v a_o

the_o text_n say_v plain_o that_o god_n have_v a_o respect_n unto_o abel_n and_o unto_o his_o offering_n the_o second_o be_v that_o of_o noah_n and_o of_o that_o the_o text_n say_v 9_o genes_n 9_o

the_o promise_n can_v be_v as_o little_o doubt_v as_o the_o precept_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o to_o my_o text_n how_o shall_v we_o make_v it_o agree_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

be_v sustain_v by_o they_o both_o these_o point_n be_v clear_a in_o the_o fifty_o psalm_n where_o god_n show_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o colour_n that_o he_o shall_v need_v they_o see_v all_o

society_n which_o reason_n must_v be_v wary_o understand_v for_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v that_o god_n take_v occasion_n from_o the_o heathen_a to_o institute_v sacrifice_n among_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o heathen_a have_v it_o by_o tradition_n from_o the_o patriarch_n and_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o sacrifice_n but_o this_o be_v true_a that_o the_o heathen_a have_v

but_o by_o sacrifice_v as_o they_o ought_v the_o last_o end_n of_o institute_a sacrifice_n be_v the_o provision_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o sacred_a feast_n whereat_o the_o poor_a be_v
