here_o than_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o god_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o punish_v they_o with_o such_o extremity_n

again_o we_o see_v how_o god_n wrought_v in_o moses_n by_o a_o power_n that_o be_v not_o common_a to_o man_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o at_o the_o age_n of_o sixscore_o year_n there_o be_v in_o

of_o unthankfulness_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n mourn_v thirty_o day_n for_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n to_o make_v such_o sorrow_n for_o

upon_o this_o text_n or_o place_n immediate_o hereunto_o moses_n add_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o because_o of_o the_o people_n word_n and_o that_o he_o have_v swear_v
for_o thou_o for_o it_o have_v be_v show_v even_o to_o the_o sight_n of_o thy_o eye_n and_o what_o more_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o true_a god_n say_v he_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o

insomuch_o that_o look_v how_o many_o miracle_n there_o be_v so_o many_o stop_n be_v there_o to_o which_o tholde_v the_o wretched_a world_n from_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o they_o be_v even_o fond_a

again_o to_o make_v a_o short_a conclusion_n of_o the_o chief_a matter_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v which_o be_v that_o god_n declare_v of_o his_o strength_n and_o power_n in_o such_o wise_a be_v to_o

our_o desire_n to_o follow_v god_n commandment_n than_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o rough_o with_o we_o ne_o overpress_v we_o not_o behold_v god_n can_v rein_v we_o with_o a_o streite_z

then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n commandment_n be_v hard_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o press_v we_o so_o much_o as_o he_o

ourselves_o to_o have_v any_o rightuousnesse_n of_o our_o own_o we_o will_v not_o pass_v to_o seek_v any_o else_o where_o than_o in_o ourselves_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v utter_o

as_o soon_o as_o we_o perceive_v god_n presence_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v abash_v we_o see_v how_o the_o very_a angel_n do_v hide_v their_o eye_n 2_o esa._n â—_o 2_o because_o god_n glory_n be_v too_o great_a for_o they_o and_o they_o be_v drive_v to_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v too_o feeble_a as_o creature_n and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o then_o for_o we_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o angel_n and_o beside_o that_o we_o hold_v not_o still_o the_o uncorruptnesse_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o as_o we_o be_v create_v that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o be_v not_o earthly_a man_n as_o our_o father_n adam_n be_v but_o we_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sin_n in_o we_o and_o therefore_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o a_o enemy_n to_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fain_o to_o shun_v his_o throne_n as_o offender_n shun_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o judge_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v but_o wretched_a worm_n and_o

to_o our_o benefit_n that_o god_n show_v himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o man_n so_o as_o he_o appoint_v man_n to_o show_v we_o his_o will_n as_o well_o

be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o understand_v more_o at_o large_a the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o one_o word_n namely_o that_o the_o law_n fray_v we_o far_o more_o in_o comparison_n than_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v declare_v also_o more_o at_o length_n elsewhere_o and_o why_o be_v that_o because_o that_o in_o the_o law_n god_n require_v that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o at_o man_n

and_o have_v all_o praise_n give_v unto_o he_o furthermore_o let_v we_o consider_v well_o that_o we_o know_v not_o why_o god_n have_v prefer_v we_o before_o other_o for_o it_o be_v only_o he_o that_o

themselves_o in_o good_a earnest_n &_o they_o hinder_v not_o themselves_o through_o any_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o when_o god_n come_v to_o the_o faithful_a they_o acknowledge_v their_o own_o misdeed_n and_o hate_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o when_o god_n have_v reform_v they_o so_o as_o they_o feel_v that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o they_o by_o his_o holy_a ghost_n they_o father_n all_o upon_o his_o free_a goodness_n know_v well_o that_o there_o be_v no_o thing_n in_o they_o worthy_a to_o be_v make_v account_n of_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v herewithal_o that_o since_o our_o lord_n

single_a promise_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o but_o also_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o swear_v that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o better_a warrant_n to_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o upon_o his_o say_n in_o deed_n god_n ought_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o obey_v though_o he_o give_v but_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o yet_o he_o condescend_v to_o our_o infirmity_n and_o so_o have_v he_o vouchsafe_v to_o do_v even_o from_o the_o beginning_n so_o as_o he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o give_v we_o his_o bare_a word_n but_o he_o have_v also_o warrant_v it_o with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n wherefore_o if_o in_o these_o day_n there_o rise_v any_o doubt_n concern_v our_o salvation_n yea_o or_o but_o even_o concern_v this_o transitory_a life_n if_o we_o doubt_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o promise_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o they_o be_v warrant_v to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o cast_v any_o

yea_o and_o even_o of_o perjury_n and_o what_o a_o devilish_a blasphemy_n be_v that_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o stick_v to_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v so_o well_o warrant_v unto_o we_o unless_o we_o will_v be_v blame_v for_o blaspheme_a god_n after_o that_o fashion_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v moreover_o that_o if_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o make_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a mortal_a man_n and_o confirm_v the_o same_o to_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n who_o be_v but_o weak_a creature_n though_o they_o have_v receive_v never_o so_o excellent_a gift_n of_o grace_n â—â—_o hebr._n â—â—_o we_o may_v much_o better_a trust_n that_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o in_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o we_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n still_o to_o be_v short_a whensoever_o we_o resort_v unto_o god_n we_o must_v acknowledge_v our_o sin_n with_o all_o

to_o we_o thou_o have_v declare_v that_o thou_o will_v be_v our_o father_n we_o have_v thy_o promise_n it_o will_v not_o boot_n we_o to_o say_v all_o these_o thing_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v

when_o we_o shall_v have_v commit_v any_o gross_a fault_n as_o this_o people_n have_v do_v in_o commit_v abominable_a ydolatrie_n the_o great_a than_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o more_o let_v we_o

to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v let_v we_o bear_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o remembrance_n namely_o that_o although_o we_o be_v never_o so_o wretched_a yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o for_o his_o people_n we_o must_v come_v to_o he_o familiar_o and_o without_o doubt_v for_o he_o guide_v we_o thither_o and_o open_v we_o

the_o stubbornness_n of_o the_o people_n their_o wickedness_n and_o their_o sin_n for_o moses_n here_o make_v not_o a_o ceremonious_a confession_n as_o these_o shameless_a sort_n do_v that_o be_v to_o

must_v come_v after_o another_o fashion_n as_o we_o see_v by_o example_n here_o for_o first_o of_o all_o moses_n set_v down_o stubbornness_n show_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v a_o horrible_a

like_a as_o moses_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o people_n so_o do_v we_o see_v that_o daniel_n speak_v of_o himself_o 5_o daâ—_n â—_o 5_o for_o in_o his_o report_n how_o he_o confess_v his_o own_o sin_n

to_o see_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v out_o of_o order_n in_o our_o whole_a life_n but_o when_o we_o have_v offend_v god_n any_o manner_n of_o way_n we_o must_v utter_v it_o as_o we_o see_v how_o

of_o god_n himself_o can_v not_o utter_o disappoint_v the_o reign_a of_o such_o abomination_n even_o in_o the_o people_n which_o name_v themselves_o holy_a and_o elect_a above_o all_o the_o rest_n

use_v chastisement_n towards_o they_o as_o preservative_n medicine_n it_o may_v every_o day_n fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o offend_v against_o god_n in_o some_o particular_a sin_n but_o what_o if_o he_o be_v always_o in_o prosperity_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o god_n therefore_o do_v cure_v such_o disease_n by_o withdraw_a his_o blessing_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o fat_a to_o blind_v man_n eye_n or_o to_o hinder_v our_o come_n unto_o he_o lest_o it_o shall_v stay_v we_o too_o long_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o our_o delight_n as_o to_o fall_v altogether_o on_o sleep_n in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n forbear_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o always_o just_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o list_v let_v the_o perfect_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n be_v choose_v out_o and_o yet_o if_o god_n will_v deal_v

mean_v the_o most_o righteous_a that_o can_v be_v find_v as_o for_o example_n when_o david_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v of_o saul_n and_o of_o all_o his_o enemy_n when_o abraham_n be_v stinge_v and_o

and_o final_o when_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cruel_o deal_v with_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n no_o very_o but_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v call_v they_o

as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v job_n a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o frailty_n but_o howsoevet_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n to_o make_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o we_o all_o we_o perceive_v then_o that_o god_n have_v other_o meaning_n in_o afflict_v his_o people_n than_o only_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o uphold_v they_o even_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n resort_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o suffer_v in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v proceed_v of_o sin_n and_o why_o so_o for_o be_v not_o this_o corruption_n in_o our_o

his_o dwell_n in_o rest_n be_v that_o reason_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v such_o change_n to_o happen_v as_o they_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n

though_o the_o earth_n can_v not_o bear_v they_o â—â—_o 1._o cor._n 4._o â—â—_o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o his_o time_n and_o as_o it_o be_v know_v at_o this_o present_a time_n that_o the_o

we_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o provoke_v not_o his_o wrath_n against_o we_o be_v such_o sort_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o now_o whereas_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v marry_v a_o wife_n and_o another_o shall_v lie_v with_o she_o let_v every_o man_n take_v heed_n to_o walk_v in_o such_o chastity_n as_o he_o draw_v not_o upon_o he_o this_o curse_n of_o god_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o wife_n the_o he_o think_v to_o have_v and_o the_o wife_n in_o like_a case_n of_o their_o husband_n we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v give_v over_o to_o all_o unchastitie_n and_o god_n must_v needs_o yield_v they_o their_o reward_n according_o david_n himself_o be_v not_o spare_v in_o this_o case_n 12.12_o 2._o sam._n 12.12_o we_o hear_v how_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o he_o thou_o

so_o then_o let_v we_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o we_o walk_v in_o such_o chastity_n that_o when_o man_n take_v wife_n they_o may_v so_o live_v together_o as_o they_o may_v feel_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o that_o their_o marriage_n be_v not_o break_v through_o the_o commit_v of_o any_o offence_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o there_o be_v so_o confuse_a

what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o reign_v so_o rife_o and_o be_v come_v as_o you_o will_v say_v to_o their_o full_a pride_n it_o be_v because_o wedlock_n be_v so_o little_o regard_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n there_o be_v neither_o faith_n nor_o truth_n and_o therefore_o must_v man_n needs_o plunge_v themselves_o in_o all_o misfortune_n so_o that_o in_o the_o end_n there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o disorder_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o take_v warning_n to_o walk_v so_o in_o all_o cleanness_n of_o life_n as_o every_o one_o may_v keep_v he_o to_o his_o own_o wife_n and_o the_o lord_n bless_v their_o marriage_n and_o maintain_v they_o in_o quietness_n moreover_o see_v that_o god_n be_v match_v with_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o keep_v fast_o the_o faith_n of_o wedlock_n towards_o he_o according_a to_o the_o simplicity_n of_o his_o gospel_n let_v we_o stick_v thorough_o to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v command_v we_o and_o to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o be_v hallow_v unto_o he_o and_o follow_v his_o holy_a call_n for_o if_o we_o do_v so_o our_o lord_n will_v grant_v

and_o disquietness_n and_o why_o because_o that_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o god_n to_o yield_v themselves_o to_o his_o direction_n therefore_o let_v we_o lean_v not_o to_o provoke_v any_o more_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n in_o this_o case_n as_o concern_v the_o land_n and_o possession_n he_o say_v that_o the_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n of_o

whereas_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n so_o much_o thievery_n in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o few_o that_o have_v clean_a hand_n and_o be_v

of_o god_n nay_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o man_n show_v we_o our_o fault_n we_o gnash_v our_o tooth_n at_o he_o and_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o that_o will_v be_v meeken_v true_a it_o be_v that_o
