upon_o what_o ground_n but_o on_o this_o submission_n of_o their_o own_o exod._n 20._o speak_v thou_o to_o we_o and_o we_o will_v hear_v thou_o but_o let_v not_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o lest_o we_o

whereas_o he_o say_v that_o in_o a_o commonwealth_n a_o subject_a shall_v do_v thus_o as_o he_o set_v down_o in_o one_o of_o his_o instance_n to_o wit_n that_o of_o abraham_n there_o be_v no_o

in_o make_v then_o consider_v in_o moses_n his_o case_n for_o i_o have_v write_v enough_o concern_v the_o other_o the_o people_n say_v they_o will_v hear_v moses_n and_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o because_o they_o discern_v that_o he_o have_v conversation_n with_o god_n that_o god_n terror_n be_v so_o great_a that_o no_o man_n dare_v injure_v he_o by_o doubt_v his_o law_n who_o have_v such_o

this_o be_v scandalous_a to_o king_n to_o many_o of_o who_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o justice_n and_o mercy_n be_v as_o dear_a as_o to_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v another_o

as_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v exigency_n of_o these_o poor_a trifle_n or_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o king_n revenue_n can_v not_o yield_v such_o a_o return_n as_o may_v make_v every_o man_n fit_a for_o such_o a_o employment_n ambitious_a of_o his_o entertainment_n i_o think_v this_o may_v suffice_v for_o the_o exposition_n of_o this_o text_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o practice_n not_o the_o right_a of_o their_o king_n but_o if_o not_o look_v the_o seventeen_o of_o deut._n at_o the_o fourteen_o verse_n where_o you_o may_v see_v the_o passage_n foretell_v when_o thou_o be_v

this_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o but_o if_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 46_o of_o ezek._n ver_fw-la 18._o some_o part_n of_o

1●_n 15._o nay_o to_o come_v close_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o people_n who_o have_v no_o power_n give_v they_o from_o god_n shall_v give_v it_o to_o a_o

the_o next_o they_o tell_v we_o be_v their_o life_n they_o will_v provide_v therefore_o against_o that_o and_o kill_v he_o no_o say_v this_o history_n when_o your_o king_n abuse_v you_o with_o such_o
