god_n because_o his_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n for_o our_o petition_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o our_o own_o worthiness_n but_o upon_o god_n goodness_n in_o that_o he_o show_v himself_o so_o free_a heart_a as_o to_o reach_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o receyve_v us._n heerewithall_o let_v we_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o and_o let_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v and_o although_o we_o be_v cold_a and_o slothful_a yet_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n hear_v his_o church_n so_o that_o although_o we_o come_v not_o to_o he_o so_o free_o and_o with_o so_o earnest_a and_o well_o dispose_v mind_n as_o we_o shall_v do_v yet_o do_v he_o pity_v we_o because_o he_o not_o only_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o our_o several_a request_n but_o also_o accept_v the_o general_a prayer_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o our_o behalf_n and_o favour_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o occupy_v ourselves_o therein_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v as_o for_o those_o who_o god_n have_v take_v out_o of_o this_o world_n for_o asmuch_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o not_o any_o thing_n of_o they_o let_v not_o we_o fall_v to_o

by_o faith_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v teach_v by_o god_n word_n saint_n paul_n set_v it_o down_o for_o a_o unchaungeable_a order_n that_o we_o can_v not_o call_v upon_o god_n unless_o we_o know_v his_o truth_n and_o that_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v preach_v unto_o we_o 10.14.17_o rom._n 10.14.17_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o ten_o to_o the_o roman_n and_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o as_o many_o as_o step_v aside_o from_o this_o rule_n be_v as_o stray_v beast_n and_o their_o prayer_n shall_v never_o boot_n they_o for_o they_o do_v but_o unhallow_a the_o name_n of_o god_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o warrant_n of_o his_o promise_n in_o their_o heart_n now_o let_v we_o pass_v further_o it_o be_v say_v i_o will_v make_v of_o thou_o a_o mighty_a and_o great_a people_n than_o this_o here_o god_n show_v moses_n that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v afraid_a that_o the_o good_a will_n which_o he_o have_v show_v towards_o that_o people_n shall_v be_v lose_v or_o that_o he_o be_v raise_v uppe_o in_o vain_a to_o be_v a_o worker_n of_o their_o redemption_n and_o of_o the_o welfare_n that_o be_v promise_v they_o i_o will_v make_v of_o thou_o another_o people_n say_v he_o but_o moses_n be_v not_o content_v with_o that_o for_o he_o make_v intercession_n still_o unto_o god._n and_o this_o be_v not_o add_v without_o cause_n but_o rather_o to_o make_v we_o to_o know_v that_o moses_n regard_v not_o himself_o but_o that_o forget_v himself_o he_o seek_v the_o welfare_n of_o those_o that_o be_v commit_v to_o his_o charge_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n nevertheless_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v here_o whether_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o god_n to_o raise_v uppe_o a_o new_a people_n or_o no_o see_v the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o offspring_n how_o then_o can_v he_o destroy_v this_o people_n without_o unsay_n his_o own_o word_n and_o without_o call_v back_o of_o his_o own_o promise_n no_o but_o hereby_o we_o be_v do_v to_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v overinquisitive_a of_o god_n judgement_n but_o deal_v sober_o and_o modest_o with_o they_o for_o if_o we_o enter_v into_o too_o deep_a ransack_v of_o they_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o such_o a_o bottomless_a pit_n as_o we_o shall_v never_o get_v out_o of_o they_o therefore_o let_v it_o suffice_v we_o that_o if_o god_n have_v list_v to_o have_v dispatch_v that_o people_n he_o can_v have_v find_v mean_n to_o have_v perform_v his_o promise_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v have_v he_o not_o be_v able_a to_o have_v raise_v uppe_o child_n to_o abraham_n even_o out_o of_o stone_n 3.9_o matt._n 3.9_o then_o must_v not_o we_o bind_v god_n to_o our_o mean_n nor_o to_o the_o common_a order_n of_o nature_n see_v he_o be_v to_o we_o incomprehensible_a but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o work_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o will_v utter_o abash_v we_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v which_o way_n he_o go_v to_o work_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n be_v that_o when_o god_n judgement_n pass_v our_o capacity_n we_o must_v not_o fall_v to_o ransack_v of_o they_o by_o piecemeal_o out_o of_o measure_n for_o as_o say_v solomon_n in_o the_o five_o and_o twentieth_o chapter_n of_o the_o proverbe_n it_o be_v his_o glory_n to_o keep_v thing_n hide_v so_o that_o although_o he_o show_v we_o not_o why_o he_o do_v this_o or_o that_o yet_o be_v not_o his_o glory_n thereby_o diminish_v but_o rather_o increase_v for_o it_o show_v man_n their_o own_o weakness_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v learn_v to_o live_v in_o lowliness_n and_o not_o think_v too_o well_o of_o their_o own_o wisdom_n mark_v that_o for_o a_o special_a point_n but_o here_o be_v yet_o other_o thing_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v look_v unto_o more_o near_o and_o first_o of_o all_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n cease_v not_o to_o make_v intercession_n that_o may_v seem_v strange_a for_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o our_o prayer_n be_v faulty_a if_o they_o be_v not_o direct_v by_o fatih_o &_o faith_n import_v that_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o god_n will_n according_a to_o saint_n johns_n exhortation_n 5.14_o 1._o john_n 3.22_o &_o 5.14_o where_o he_o say_v that_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o pray_v aright_o we_o must_v follow_v god_n ordinance_n and_o not_o our_o own_o likinge_n sith_o it_o be_v so_o how_o dare_v moses_n in_o this_o text_n sue_v unto_o god_n contrary_a to_o his_o express_a forbid_v so_o as_o although_o god_n say_v let_v i_o alone_o i_o will_v not_o hear_v thou_o speak_v of_o it_o any_o more_o this_o people_n must_v needs_o perish_v yet_o do_v moses_n make_v intreatance_n still_o wherein_o he_o may_v peradventure_o seem_v unportunate_a yea_o and_o that_o he_o be_v mind_v even_o to_o spite_v he_o or_o at_o

the_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v can_v not_o be_v wrest_v from_o he_o by_o so_o forcible_a a_o temptation_n needs_o must_v it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v thorough_o settle_v in_o faith_n when_o

let_v he_o of_o his_o purpose_n and_o why_o be_v it_o for_o that_o he_o discredit_v god_n or_o for_o that_o he_o believe_v not_o his_o threaten_n as_o the_o unbeliever_n do_v who_o common_o make_v but_o a_o mock_n of_o it_o when_o god_n speak_v to_o they_o of_o his_o wrath_n no_o moses_n deal_v not_o so_o but_o this_o be_v his_o leaningstocke_n behold_v god_n have_v make_v his_o covenaunt_n with_o abraham_n and_o that_o covenaunt_n must_v needs_o be_v unchaungeable_a for_o it_o depend_v not_o upon_o the_o desert_n of_o man_n but_o be_v ground_v upon_o god_n own_o free_a goodness_n moses_n know_v this_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o hear_v god_n speak_v of_o the_o destroy_n of_o that_o people_n he_o fall_v as_o it_o be_v to_o set_v of_o himself_o against_o it_o upon_o

they_o vow_v this_o vow_n unto_o god_n but_o be_v it_o in_o they_o to_o perform_v it_o nay_o it_o be_v a_o divelishe_a arrogancy_n but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o gift_n of_o continency_n he_o

that_o the_o gift_n of_o continency_n be_v not_o give_v unto_o all_o and_o s._n paul_n as_o a_o faithful_a interpreter_n of_o that_o which_o his_o master_n have_v say_v 7.17_o 1._o cor._n 7.17_o

within_o a_o while_n must_v needs_o go_v to_o havoc_n and_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n mean_v to_o show_v we_o the_o use_n of_o the_o holy_a

of_o our_o journey_n the_o thing_n then_o which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o mosese_n word_n be_v that_o when_o king_n have_v you_o e_o book_n of_o the_o law_n they_o must_v not_o keep_v it_o shut_v

the_o more_o strait_o bind_v to_o live_v virtuous_o that_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o and_o moreover_o we_o ●ust_z every_o one_o of_o we_o apply_v

those_o heartbreaking_n breed_v not_o any_o deadly_a fall_n he_o add_v the_o reason_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o mortify_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o they_o bear_v as_o if_o he_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thereby_o they_o attain_v to_o the_o resurrection_n true_a it_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v not_o alone_o of_o the_o last_o resurrection_n but_o he_o

be_v change_v to_o serve_v our_o god._n the_o same_o be_v likewise_o in_o circumcision_n and_o moses_n do_v show_v in_o this_o place_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o vain_a figure_n it_o be_v not_o a_o

and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o baptism_n at_o this_o day_n succeed_v circumcision_n like_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n 2.12_o col._n 2.12_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o father_n which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n be_v as_o little_a child_n under_o their_o tutor_n and_o overseer_n 4.2_o gal._n 3.23_o &_o 4.2_o yet_o be_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o we_o be_v and_o have_v the_o very_a same_o promise_n

furthermore_o it_o be_v here_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o circumcision_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o malice_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o show_v also_o that_o god_n will_v do_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o regenerate_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o at_o this_o day_n in_o baptism_n when_o the_o water_n be_v pour_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o little_a child_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o signify_v that_o be_v come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o must_v serve_v god_n and_o

the_o minister_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o only_o it_o do_v appertain_v to_o baptise_v as_o saint_n john_n say_v we_o in_o deed_n do_v baptise_v with_o water_n but_o his_o office_n be_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v it_o well_o that_o when_o the_o minister_n lay_v the_o water_n on_o the_o child_n head_n therein_o he_o represent_v the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n witness_v thereby_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n will_v be_v so_o gracious_a to_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v and_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n his_o father_n as_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o he_o and_o to_o govern_v they_o so_o as_o they_o shall_v become_v new_a creature_n and_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o circumcision_n abraham_n in_o deed_n be_v circumcise_v but_o that_o be_v after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n but_o yet_o ordinary_o it_o behoove_v man_n to_o be_v circumcise_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o they_o that_o be_v appoint_v thereunto_o and_o those_o do_v represent_v the_o person_n of_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o testimony_n that_o man_n of_o themselves_o can_v not_o be_v circumcise_v but_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o god_n shall_v put_v his_o hand_n thereto_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v change_v they_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o in_o all_o the_o

of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v commit_v unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o put_v such_o difference_n between_o the_o live_a god_n and_o all_o the_o idol_n which_o man_n have_v forge_v of_o their_o
