which_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n and_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v here_o cite_v in_o this_o chapter_n the_o proceed_n of_o god_n upon_o pharaoh_n that_o as_o their_o god_n deliver_v israel_n from_o so_o potent_a a_o enemy_n he_o will_v also_o at_o last_o deliver_v israel_n from_o all_o the_o edemite_n moabite_n and_o amorites_n their_o enemy_n god_n will_v wound_v the_o head_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o the_o hairy_a scalp_n of_o these_o that_o go_v on_o in_o their_o wickedness_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o pharaoh_n and_o let_v man_n make_v this_o construction_n of_o all_o god_n deliverance_n to_o

and_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v but_o the_o second_o consideration_n why_o god_n make_v his_o power_n appear_v unto_o pharaoh_n be_v in_o reference_n to_o israel_n who_o else_o must_v have_v be_v swallow_v up_o and_o this_o prove_v the_o former_a proposition_n more_o firm_o that_o the_o time_n of_o jacob_n love_n must_v be_v the_o time_n of_o esau_n hatred_n for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o israel_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v the_o destruction_n of_o pharaoh_n so_o that_o now_o paul_n argue_v thus_o to_o comfort_v himself_o god_n that_o do_v so_o much_o for_o israel_n of_o old_a in_o deliver_v they_o from_o pharaoh_n will_v do_v as_o much_o or_o more_o in_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o persecutor_n esau_n and_o the_o like_a this_o be_v plain_o prove_v by_o several_a place_n of_o scripture_n as_o in_o esay_n the_o 10._o vers_fw-la the_o 24.25_o and_o 26._o where_o he_o describe_v the_o manner_n of_o god_n proceed_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o be_v according_a to_o

but_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o breast_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o he_o look_v down_o upon_o pharaoh_n cruel_a deal_n with_o they_o and_o he_o wrought_v their_o deliverance_n only_o they_o be_v to_o do_v what_o he_o bid_v they_o to_o go_v when_o he_o bid_v they_o go_v and_o to_o stand_v when_o he_o bid_v they_o stand_v and_o so_o must_v we_o or_o they_o in_o the_o second_o salvation_n by_o christ_n the_o mercy_n be_v free_a christ_n be_v free_a but_o we_o must_v do_v as_o christ_n bid_v we_o we_o must_v hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o this_o prophet_n in_o whatsoever_o he_o speak_v unto_o we_o act_v 7.37_o and_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o israel_n they_o be_v to_o hearken_v unto_o moses_n that_o prophet_n they_o be_v to_o go_v on_o when_o he_o bid_v they_o and_o to_o stand_v still_o when_o he_o bid_v they_o so_o likewise_o it_o be_v now_o so_o that_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v thus_o that_o mercy_n and_o pardon_n be_v free_a it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o of_o he_o that_o run_v yet_o man_n must_v receive_v it_o or_o else_o he_o shall_v be_v never_o the_o better_o for_o so_o now_o i_o proceed_v to_o vers_n the_o 18._o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v
