A05404	A sermon preached at Paules Crosse by R. Lewes, Baccheler of Divinitie, concerning Isaac his testament, disposed by the Lord to Iacobs comfort, though it were intednded to Esau by his father; shewing, that the counsel of God shal stand, albeit the whole worlde withstande it.

that_o age_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n as_o touch_v isaac_n who_o be_v god_n minister_n to_o bless_v we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v entangle_v with_o a_o inordinate_a affection_n and_o here_o let_v we_o meditate_v &_o ponder_v how_o often_o how_o sudden_o how_o forcible_o our_o blind_a affection_n do_v rush_v upon_o we_o move_a we_o to_o bite_v against_o god_n and_o oppose_v ourselves_o against_o his_o wil._n as_o a_o bull_n be_v chafe_v push_v with_o his_o horn_n so_o our_o unbrideled_a desire_n and_o unruly_a affection_n do_v drive_v and_o ravish_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a that_o like_o mighty_a nimrods_n in_o the_o quarrel_n of_o the_o flesh_n we_o dare_v wage_v battle_n against_o the_o plain_a word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n these_o affection_n of_o we_o as_o the_o wave_n and_o wind_n the_o storm_n and_o quickesande_n of_o our_o soul_n do_v so_o toss_v and_o tormoile_v we_o up_o and_o down_o that_o even_o the_o best_a pilotte_n be_v fain_o to_o strike_v sail_n and_o reason_n itself_o be_v drive_v sometime_o to_o forsake_v the_o helm_n i_o may_v resemble_v our_o affection_n to_o eli_n his_o child_n who_o the_o father_n so_o cockered_a and_o forbear_v that_o the_o lord_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o honour_v they_o more_o than_o god_n so_o deal_v we_o with_o our_o affection_n we_o bear_v with_o they_o we_o yield_v unto_o they_o we_o be_v rule_v by_o they_o we_o dote_v upon_o they_o as_o eli_n demand_v of_o his_o son_n why_o they_o do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n &_o say_v do_v so_o no_o more_o my_o son_n it_o be_v no_o good_a report_n that_o i_o hear_v of_o you_o for_o you_o make_v the_o lord_n people_n to_o presume_v against_o he_o by_o transgression_n but_o more_o than_o speak_v rough_a he_o do_v not_o but_o let_v they_o have_v the_o full_a forth_o in_o sin_n as_o if_o he_o have_v chide_v they_o with_o his_o tongue_n and_o strike_v they_o fair_a and_o soft_o on_o the_o head_n with_o his_o hand_n so_o we_o ask_v our_o affection_n sometime_o why_o they_o be_v so_o unruly_a against_o reason_n so_o outrageous_a against_o god_n spirit_n so_o offensive_a to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n we_o bid_v they_o cease_v but_o we_o never_o bridle_v they_o we_o never_o restrain_v they_o we_o never_o hate_v and_o abhor_v they_o we_o let_v they_o have_v their_o force_n still_o we_o be_v soon_o please_v with_o they_o and_o in_o so_o do_v we_o prefer_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o flesh_n before_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n well_o eli_n do_v so_o long_o cocker_v his_o child_n that_o they_o cause_v he_o to_o break_v his_o neck_n yea_o the_o fancy_n and_o affection_n that_o be_v nourish_v in_o we_o and_o cherish_v of_o we_o may_v be_v so_o long_o suffer_v and_o these_o weed_n may_v be_v so_o water_v that_o they_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o a_o worse_a end_n than_o elimine_n a_o man_n be_v lead_v with_o his_o affection_n do_v seem_v to_o deal_v with_o reason_n as_o perfumer_n deal_v with_o oil_n who_o never_o cease_v meddle_v and_o
