to_o any_o siren_n voice_n that_o entice_v they_o with_o fair_a promise_n or_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o any_o thunder_a voice_n of_o tyrant_n and_o persecutor_n that_o terrify_v they_o with_o foul_a

that_o be_v sound_v in_o their_o ear_n by_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n do_v prophet_n what_o they_o must_v do_v of_o the_o idol_n shepherd_n 1._o in_o the_o affirmative_a part_n that_o

in_o the_o old_a time_n a_o holy_a oblation_n institute_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o a_o most_o acceptable_a offering_n unto_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o 15.22_o 1_o

when_o they_o be_v offer_v by_o wicked_a hypocrite_n 55.3_o esay_n 55.3_o be_v abomination_n unto_o god_n but_o the_o lord_n say_v incline_v your_o ear_n and_o come_v unto_o i_o hear_v and_o your_o soul_n shall_v live_v and_o therefore_o see_v that_o to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o beneficial_a to_o the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o our_o saviour_n do_v so_o often_o cry_v unto_o we_o 8.8_o luke_n 8.8_o he_o that_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v let_v he_o hear_v because_o this_o hear_n of_o his_o voice_n be_v not_o only_o a_o special_a mean_n to_o beget_v

paul_n tell_v we_o that_o who_o god_n have_v predestinate_v they_o he_o have_v call_v 8.30_o rom._n 8.30_o and_o who_o he_o have_v call_v those_o also_o he_o have_v justify_v and_o who_o he_o

call_v if_o we_o do_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n that_o call_v we_o and_o therefore_o ad_fw-la summum_fw-la nisi_fw-la a_o principio_fw-la pervenire_fw-la non_fw-la potes_fw-la thou_o shall_v
