that_o we_o continue_v in_o the_o doctrine_n which_o have_v be_v follow_v in_o all_o age_n worship_v the_o god_n which_o create_v we_o which_o give_v forth_o his_o law_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n

by_o man_n at_o the_o papist_n do_v for_o all_o their_o religion_n be_v ground_v upon_o these_o point_n namely_o that_o they_o must_v keep_v the_o tradition_n of_o their_o elder_n that_o they_o must_v

might_n well_o be_v set_v as_o a_o shield_v to_o defend_v they_o but_o because_o god_n disclaim_v their_o father_n therefore_o can_v that_o excuse_n stand_v they_o in_o no_o steed_n for_o god_n

as_o if_o he_o shall_v upbraid_v they_o say_v what_o i_o adopt_a and_o choose_v your_o father_n to_o be_v my_o child_n and_o they_o worship_v i_o as_o their_o god_n and_o will_v you_o now_o forsake_v i_o to_o be_v short_a we_o must_v hold_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n our_o father_n be_v those_o who_o god_n have_v repute_v and_o advowed_a to_o be_v his_o child_n therefore_o whosoever_o

to_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v long_o ago_o it_o be_v to_o show_v we_o that_o whereas_o he_o be_v our_o father_n whereas_o we_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o in_o this_o world_n and_o

of_o his_o goodness_n why_o so_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o god_n offer_v man_n his_o benefit_n &_o they_o refuse_v they_o of_o a_o wilful_a frowardness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o fire_n

word_n love_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o this_o text_n notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o fellow_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o honour_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o as_o our_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o will_v observe_v god_n law_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o must_v not_o consider_v he_o all_o only_a in_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o master_n thereby_o to_o yield_v he_o reverence_v but_o we_o must_v also_o set_v before_o we_o the_o title_n of_o father_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n

to_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o first_o point_n of_o serve_v god_n aright_o be_v to_o be_v lead_v unto_o he_o yea_o and_o to_o be_v lead_v thither_o upon_o

131.24_o psal._n 130.7_o &_o 131.24_o and_o as_o be_v yet_o better_o express_v in_o this_o verse_n of_o the_o psalm_n that_o we_o must_v first_o know_v god_n mercy_n and_o rest_v thereupon_o or_o

to_o advance_v himself_o so_o hy_z no_o but_o because_o moses_n bring_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o but_o be_v a_o faithful_a minister_n of_o god_n &_o do_v nothing_o but_o expound_v the_o law_n even_o

therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v moses_n here_o exhort_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o set_v their_o heart_n upon_o all_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v

what_o saint_n paul_n say_v who_o comprehend_v himself_o also_o in_o the_o number_n of_o those_o which_o see_v and_o know_v but_o only_o in_o part_n until_o we_o may_v behold_v god_n glory_n face_n

may_v continual_o grow_v more_o and_o more_o in_o understanding_n and_o that_o we_o perceive_v as_o say_v saint_n paul_n that_o all_o scripture_n be_v profitable_a 3.16_o 2._o tim._n 3.16_o for_o he_o say_v not_o that_o there_o we_o shall_v find_v wherewith_o to_o edify_v ourselves_o but_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o all_o thing_n so_o as_o there_o be_v there_o not_o only_o some_o thing_n that_o may_v do_v we_o good_a but_o also_o that_o if_o we_o search_v throughout_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n declare_v there_o we_o shall_v find_v from_o the_o very_a beginning_n

if_o i_o see_v a_o man_n offend_v although_o i_o ought_v to_o set_v myself_o against_o he_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o my_o power_n and_o to_o withstand_v his_o wickedness_n yet_o because_o i_o be_o a_o

man_n must_v not_o fall_v into_o heat_n through_o their_o carnal_a affection_n and_o passion_n to_o revenge_v their_o own_o quarrel_n but_o must_v do_v that_o which_o they_o know_v god_n like_v of_o

that_o his_o glory_n may_v shine_v forth_o in_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n in_o say_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v that_o

for_o we_o bring_v nothing_o at_o all_o unto_o he_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o

of_o chanaan_n by_o their_o own_o deserving_n but_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o love_v they_o even_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n wherethrough_a he_o do_v they_o all_o the_o good_a that_o they_o
