that_o the_o question_n be_v resolve_v in_o this_o wise_a namely_o that_o as_o many_o of_o the_o heathen_a as_o have_v know_v and_o taste_v well_o the_o doctrine_n that_o god_n have_v deliver_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n confess_v as_o truth_n be_v that_o god_n choose_v of_o a_o certain_a people_n for_o himself_o be_v a_o great_a and_o singular_a privilege_n but_o very_o few_o of_o they_o

to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enjoy_v it_o for_o all_o this_o be_v treat_v of_o by_o moses_n to_o the_o intent_n it_o shall_v be_v apply_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o learn_v to_o serve_v our_o god_n with_o

think_v they_o fear_v god_n well_o when_o they_o have_v some_o fond_a devotion_n towards_o he_o as_o we_o see_v in_o popery_n where_o every_o man_n say_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n

this_o much_o then_o concern_v the_o covenant_n that_o moses_n speak_v of_o here_o howbeit_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o heynousnes_n of_o their_o crime_n the_o more_o he_o add_v that_o he_o take_v

we_o must_v learn_v that_o he_o can_v well_o revenge_v himself_o of_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v abuse_v his_o grace_n and_o of_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v hold_v scorn_n of_o it_o therefore_o let_v

that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v by_o his_o presence_n and_o by_o his_o word_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o mountain_n melt_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o

in_o itself_o be_v so_o terrible_a as_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o sink_v the_o whole_a world_n when_o he_o speak_v his_o voice_n do_v not_o only_o scare_v all_o creature_n but_o also_o utter_o dismay_v they_o yea_o and_o even_o bring_v they_o to_o nothing_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a miracle_n that_o mortal_a man_n be_v so_o frail_a and_o brickle_z and_o be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o shadow_n be_v enable_v to_o hear_v god_n voice_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o consume_v thereby_o so_o then_o moses_n show_v here_o y_z â—_o god_n do_v not_o only_o make_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o

unto_o he_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v bring_v unto_o he_o that_o which_o we_o have_v of_o nature_n for_o that_o be_v altogether_o evil_a but_o because_o he_o receive_v we_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o will_v govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o hold_v we_o so_o in_o awe_n as_o the_o rebelliousnes_n of_o our_o flesh_n shall_v be_v allay_v by_o his_o grace_n and_o we_o so_o strengthen_v as_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o withstand_v all_o manner_n of_o temptation_n and_o encounter_n and_o that_o he_o will_v so_o imprint_v his_o law_n in_o our_o heart_n according_a to_o his_o own_o say_n as_o he_o will_v cause_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n by_o give_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n 33._o 〈…〉_o 33._o righteousness_n and_o truth_n

and_o so_o we_o see_v it_o be_v no_o point_n of_o rashness_n for_o we_o to_o vow_v unto_o god_n in_o promise_v to_o serve_v he_o so_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o unto_o

the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o see_v that_o under_o the_o law_n and_o ceremony_n god_n will_v be_v to_o be_v serve_v in_o truth_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o as_o now_o when_o his_o service_n be_v altogether_o spiritual_a as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v in_o the_o four_o of_o saint_n john_n where_o he_o say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n 4.23_o john_n

the_o sacrifice_n of_o righteousness_n and_o this_o be_v a_o doctrine_n too_o much_o corrupt_v by_o the_o world_n for_o we_o see_v what_o man_n do_v common_o term_v god_n service_n at_o this_o day_n i_o overpasse_v the_o doing_n of_o the_o papist_n they_o be_v but_o man_n invention_n wherein_o there_o be_v not_o one_o syllable_n of_o god_n word_n but_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n
