do_v give_v unto_o his_o people_n for_o they_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o live_v according_a to_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o pleasure_n but_o according_a to_o his_o

they_o or_o their_o authority_n out_o of_o this_o we_o may_v collect_v two_o doctrine_n doct._n the_o one_o be_v that_o man_n nature_n be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o unwilling_a to_o be_v subject_a or_o obedient_a thereunto_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o these_o man_n the_o other_o be_v that_o when_o man_n do_v resist_v the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o oppose_v themselves_o against_o the_o same_o then_o do_v they_o rebel_v against_o god_n himself_o and_o become_v traitor_n unto_o he_o as_o these_o be_v for_o this_o be_v note_v as_o the_o main_a point_n wherein_o their_o treason_n stand_v in_o that_o they_o do_v thus_o reject_v the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o withstand_v the_o same_o to_o the_o uttermost_a that_o they_o can_v on_o these_o two_o let_v we_o stand_v a_o little_a the_o first_o be_v doct._n that_o man_n nature_n be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o unwilling_a to_o be_v subject_a or_o obedient_a thereunto_o the_o whole_a story_n of_o the_o bible_n do_v show_v this_o but_o one_o place_n at_o this_o time_n shall_v be_v allege_v for_o all_o as_o contain_v many_o age_n under_o it_o and_o that_o be_v in_o jeremy_n 7.23_o etc._n etc._n when_o the_o lord_n say_v by_o his_o servant_n there_o but_o this_o thing_n command_v i_o they_o say_v obey_v my_o voice_n and_o i_o will_v be_v your_o god_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n and_o walk_v you_o in_o all_o the_o way_n which_o i_o command_v you_o that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o unto_o you_o but_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v nor_o incline_v their_o ear_n but_o go_v after_o the_o counsel_n and_o the_o stubburnnesse_n of_o their_o wicked_a heart_n and_o go_v backward_o and_o not_o forward_o since_o the_o day_n that_o your_o father_n come_v up_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n unto_o this_o day_n i_o have_v even_o send_v unto_o you_o all_o my_o servant_n and_o prophet_n rise_v up_o early_o every_o day_n and_o send_v they_o yet_o will_v they_o not_o hear_v i_o nor_o incline_v their_o ear_n but_o harden_v the_o neck_n and_o do_v worse_a than_o their_o father_n as_o thus_o israel_n deal_v so_o deal_v all_o man_n at_o all_o time_n we_o find_v it_o so_o still_o by_o daily_a experience_n as_o well_o as_o by_o andient_a record_n so_o that_o a_o good_a man_n may_v cry_v out_o and_o say_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o pprophecy_n of_o jeremy_n chap._n 6._o verse_n 10._o unto_o who_o shall_v i_o speak_v and_o admonish_v that_o they_o may_v hear_v behold_v their_o ear_n be_v uncircumcised_a and_o they_o can_v hearken_v behold_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o reproach_n they_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o it_o but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o as_o god_n say_v to_o israel_n what_o iniquity_n have_v your_o father_n find_v in_o i_o that_o they_o be_v go_v far_o from_o i_o and_o have_v walk_v after_o vanity_n and_o be_v become_v vain_a jeremie_n 2.5_o so_o may_v we_o say_v to_o these_o man_n what_o iniquity_n have_v they_o find_v in_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o do_v so_o spurn_v at_o they_o or_o what_o evil_a be_v lurk_v in_o they_o that_o they_o do_v so_o reject_v they_o what_o be_v they_o not_o just_a and_o upright_o yes_o as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o deut._n 4.8_o where_o moses_n say_v and_o what_o nation_n be_v so_o great_a that_o have_v ordinance_n

of_o divine_a writ_n &_o namely_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o david_n in_o psal_n 19.11_o when_o he_o say_v that_o in_o keep_v of_o they_o there_o be_v great_a reward_n what!_o be_v they_o not_o last_o easy_a and_o pleasant_a yes_o as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o christ_n own_a word_n in_o math._n 11.30_o when_o he_o say_v for_o my_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o my_o burden_n light_n and_o by_o the_o

with_o a_o holy_a kiss_n here_o in_o this_o place_n it_o may_v be_v take_v in_o both_o the_o signification_n for_o it_o be_v their_o part_n both_o to_o love_n christ_n and_o also_o to_o be_v subject_a

here_o plain_o in_o this_o verse_n the_o same_o doctrine_n do_v our_o saviour_n himself_o beat_v into_o man_n head_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n according_a to_o s._n johns_n gospel_n and_o the_o

man_n shall_v honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n and_o thereupon_o do_v conclude_v that_o he_o that_o honour_v not_o the_o son_n the_o same_o honour_v not_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v he_o now_o the_o reason_n for_o this_o doctrine_n be_v two_o reason_n one_o because_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o and_o set_v we_o free_a by_o a_o dear_a ransom_n from_o all_o our_o enemy_n as_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n say_v to_o gideon_n reign_n thou_o over_o we_o both_o thou_o and_o thy_o son_n and_o thy_o son_n son_n for_o thou_o have_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o

have_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o be_v press_v in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n by_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o

the_o dead_a and_o quick_a as_o it_o be_v in_o rom._n 14.9_o the_o other_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o he_o will_v hereafter_o glorify_v we_o and_o take_v we_o to_o himself_o up_o into_o the_o heaven_n where_o he_o be_v according_a to_o his_o promise_n in_o the_o be-beginning_n of_o the_o 14_o chapter_n of_o saint_n johns_n gospel_n for_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o he_o use_v unto_o

so_o christ_n ask_v the_o chief_a priest_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n whether_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v from_o heaven_n or_o from_o man_n math._n 21.25_o sometime_o last_o we_o ask_v a_o question_n when_o we_o marvel_v or_o wonder_n at_o a_o matter_n so_o david_n ask_v what_o man_n be_v that_o god_n do_v so_o regard_v he_o and_o extol_v he_o above_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o

this_o question_n be_v for_o wonder_n sake_n for_o he_o see_v such_o madness_n and_o foolishness_n in_o the_o heathen_a and_o people_n for_o their_o rage_a and_o murmur_v against_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o can_v not_o but_o marvel_n and_o wonder_n at_o the_o same_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v attempt_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v either_o unpossible_a to_o be_v do_v as_o to_o carry_v a_o church_n upon_o his_o back_n or_o else_o which_o be_v do_v will_v be_v altogether_o hurtful_a unto_o he_o as_o to_o kick_v his_o heel_n against_o sharp_a needle_n we_o shall_v wonder_v and_o marvel_n at_o he_o much_o for_o it_o &_o think_v that_o he_o be_v mad_a and_o out_o of_o his_o wit_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o case_n he_o see_v first_o that_o they_o go_v about_o a_o thing_n

not_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o world_n again_o he_o see_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o as_o this_o be_v impossible_a so_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n altogether_o unprofitable_a for_o they_o and_o most_o hurtful_a in_o every_o respect_n for_o whether_o we_o respect_v david_n or_o christ_n they_o can_v not_o have_v the_o like_a king_n again_o in_o all_o the_o world_n for_o as_o it_o be_v record_v of_o david_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n according_a to_o god_n own_o heart_n and_o that_o he_o execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n unto_o all_o his_o people_n as_o it_o be_v in_o 2._o

of_o righteousness_n he_o love_a righteousness_n and_o hate_v iniquity_n heb._n 1.2.8.9_o and_o as_o though_o this_o be_v not_o a_o commendation_n great_a enough_o of_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v reign_v as_o a_o king_n and_o prophet_n &_o execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n in_o the_o earth_n mark_v what_o the_o lord_n do_v add_v further_o to_o this_o in_o jer_z 23.6_o when_o he_o say_v in_o his_o day_n judah_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o israel_n shall_v dwell_v safe_o and_o this_o be_v the_o name_n whereby_o they_o shall_v call_v he_o the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n that_o so_o thereby_o we_o may_v know_v that_o all_o those_o be_v in_o a_o most_o happy_a estate_n who_o be_v under_o he_o and_o his_o dominion_n in_o regard_n of_o both_o which_o thing_n you_o may_v see_v that_o

and_o to_o watch_v thereunto_o with_o all_o perseverance_n and_o supplication_n for_o all_o saint_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ephes_n 6.18_o but_o yet_o alas_o we_o do_v it_o too_o seldom_o and_o some_o

whatsoever_o they_o do_v with_o cheerful_a heart_n so_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v they_o his_o servant_n to_o rejoice_v in_o he_o &_o in_o his_o service_n and_o not_o to_o go_v about_o his_o

of_o it_o to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o why_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o they_o be_v in_o number_n these_o two_o first_o because_o he_o do_v excel_v and_o pass_v all_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o all_o good_a thing_n whatsoever_o for_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o rejoice_v in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v singular_a and_o do_v go_v beyond_o other_o for_o goodness_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o fair_a beautiful_a woman_n to_o his_o wife_n pass_v other_o woman_n for_o beauty_n or_o pulchritude_n or_o if_o he_o have_v a_o goodly_a child_n of_o admirable_a part_n to_o his_o son_n excel_v other_o child_n for_o learning_n and_o other_o rich_a endowment_n or_o last_o if_o he_o have_v a_o stately_a commodious_a house_n for_o his_o dwell_n over-matching_a all_o other_o house_n in_o the_o country_n about_o he_o for_o pomp_n and_o necessary_a use_n how_o much_o do_v he_o rejoice_v in_o these_o daily_o experience_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a joy_n and_o delight_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o even_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o god_n for_o he_o do_v pass_v and_o excel_v all_o other_o whatsoever_o as_o in_o wisdom_n in_o mercy_n in_o justice_n in_o power_n in_o love_n in_o goodness_n in_o glory_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v in_o he_o and_o make_v he_o our_o sole_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n the_o other_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o he_o do_v and_o also_o be_v most_o able_a to_o do_v we_o most_o good_a and_o to_o bless_v we_o both_o here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o also_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v for_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n with_o we_o evermore_o to_o rejoice_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a unto_o we_o and_o the_o more_o commodious_a and_o beneficial_a any_o thing_n be_v unto_o we_o the_o more_o common_o do_v we_o rejoice_v and_o delight_v therein_o i_o need_v not_o demonstrate_v this_o unto_o you_o by_o

what_o gift_n and_o calling_n we_o have_v of_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o stand_v upon_o they_o when_o any_o just_a occasion_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o thereunto_o for_o all_o man_n

it_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o four_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v by_o his_o mind_n with_o the_o which_o he_o do_v enter_v into_o it_o

good_a to_o his_o people_n second_o that_o he_o have_v grace_n and_o gift_n sufficient_a for_o to_o discharge_v those_o duty_n which_o be_v require_v at_o his_o hand_n three_o that_o he_o be_v

and_o not_o from_o man_n alone_o second_o by_o this_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o judge_v charitable_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v speak_v large_o now_o and_o then_o of_o their_o own_o gift_n and_o those_o place_n wherein_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v they_o for_o here_o we_o may_v see_v a_o man_n may_v do_v it_o with_o a_o good_a soul_n and_o discharge_v but_o a_o honest_a &_o godly_a duty_n in_o so_o

for_o this_o be_v not_o to_o praise_v himself_o but_o rather_o to_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o bring_v honour_n unto_o his_o name_n yea_o the_o case_n may_v so_o stand_v as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o paul_n word_n in_o the_o 11._o chap._n of_o his_o 2_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n as_o in_o other_o place_n also_o that_o a_o man_n may_v praise_v himself_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o
