forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a concernment_n of_o all_o the_o follower_n of_o christ_n to_o inquire_v after_o the_o evangelical_n meaning_n of_o this_o question_n let_v we_o also_o

this_o it_o behove_v that_o we_o propose_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o although_o mountain-worship_n precede_v the_o tabernacle_n contrary_a to_o the_o method_n of_o david_n question_n and_o be_v the_o preparer_n of_o it_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o by_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o other_o antiquate_a but_o still_o remain_v in_o its_o essential_a efficacy_n for_o the_o grace_n set_v on_o foot_n by_o it_o especial_o faith_n be_v universal_a necessary_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o piety_n for_o ordinance_n work_n and_o all_o performance_n be_v nothing_o without_o faith_n and_o reverential_a fear_n for_o as_o the_o pedagogue-school_n initiate_v youth_n teach_v letter_n and_o to_o read_v lay_v the_o first_o element_n of_o learning_n and_o make_v they_o fit_a for_o the_o instruction_n of_o other_o tutor_n in_o the_o liberal_a science_n so_o do_v mountain-worship_n prepare_v the_o way_n to_o practical_a obedience_n for_o before_o obedience_n there_o must_v precede_v a_o knowledge_n who_o and_o how_o to_o obey_v and_o in_o like_a manner_n as_o the_o disciple_n free_v from_o school_n of_o the_o pedagogue_n ought_v still_o to_o retain_v the_o fundamental_o he_o there_o learned_a as_o necessary_a to_o the_o attain_n of_o other_o deep_a science_n so_o also_o ought_v those_o grow_v perfect_a in_o the_o school_n of_o abraham_n to_o retain_v those_o grace_n they_o learn_v there_o as_o

for_o thy_o use_n have_v also_o learned_a that_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o last_o and_o above_o all_o that_o thy_o obedience_n performance_n and_o merit_n can_v take_v away_o

of_o a_o servile_a fear_n of_o punishment_n than_o a_o true_a love_n of_o god_n or_o good_a so_o as_o the_o old_a root_n of_o concupiscence_n be_v not_o pluck_v up_o but_o bring_v under_o by_o fear_n of_o wrath_n and_o therefore_o as_o former_o he_o find_v that_o by_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o duty_n wrath_n be_v exasperate_v so_o now_o by_o a_o more_o servile_a fear_n and_o rigid_a obedience_n
