and_o that_o they_o be_v value_v of_o we_o as_o they_o ought_v we_o shall_v have_v always_o good_a cause_n to_o honour_v he_o &_o to_o rejoice_v ourselves_o in_o he_o but_o alack_o we_o devour_v up_o the_o benefit_n that_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o &_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o mow_v at_o they_o &_o never_o think_v upon_o they_o and_o we_o may_v see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v so_o give_v to_o murmur_n to_o fret_v &_o to_o discontent_n ourselves_o and_o why_o so_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n aught_o to_o suffice_v to_o satisfy_v we_o in_o he_o but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o despise_v &_o set_v light_n by_o they_o and_o so_o we_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o taste_v what_o this_o promise_n be_v worth_a i_o be_o with_o thou_o and_o will_v bless_v thou_o now_o it_o be_v say_v a_o little_a after_o that_o isaac_n erect_v a_o altar_n and_o that_o he_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o place_n we_o have_v see_v already_o why_o altar_n be_v erect_v by_o the_o holy_a father_n &_o to_o what_o intent_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v here_o speak_v somewhat_o of_o it_o even_o as_o the_o place_n require_v the_o altar_n which_o isaac_n erect_v be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v make_v profession_n of_o his_o faith_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n for_o if_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o erect_v a_o altar_n unto_o he_o the_o service_n of_o god_n be_v of_o itself_o spiritual_a isaac_n therefore_o erect_v not_o a_o altar_n that_o he_o may_v only_o invocate_v and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n or_o make_v his_o prayer_n &_o supplication_n unto_o he_o but_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v be_v know_v &_o that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v before_o man_n for_o although_o we_o ought_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o inward_o in_o our_o heart_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o let_v not_o also_o but_o that_o we_o must_v give_v he_o that_o praise_n which_o he_o deserve_v before_o man_n and_o that_o we_o protest_v asmuch_o as_n lie_v in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v whole_o he_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n here_o therefore_o we_o be_v instruct_v that_o the_o faithful_a after_o they_o have_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o god_n &_o shall_v have_v call_v upon_o he_o &_o give_v unto_o he_o the_o praise_n of_o all_o his_o benefit_n that_o they_o must_v yet_o further_o make_v a_o confession_n of_o their_o faith_n before_o man_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v whole_o as_o also_o all_o be_v he_o dedicate_v themselves_o to_o he_o there_o be_v also_o a_o second_o reason_n and_o that_o be_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o slougth_n and_o slackness_n we_o have_v need_v every_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o be_v prick_v forward_o to_o the_o end_n too_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o march_v cheerful_o forward_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n how_o so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n he_o embusi_v himself_o with_o no_o ceremony_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o bow_v our_o knee_n we_o hold_v up_o our_o hand_n towards_o heaven_n and_o uncover_v our_o head_n and_o why_o so_o first_o of_o all_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o do_v homage_n unto_o god_n with_o our_o body_n which_o he_o have_v create_v and_o which_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o his_o glory_n &_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o immortality_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v slack_a it_o behove_v we_o that_o these_o mean_n stand_v we_o in_o steed_n to_o provoke_v we_o too_o have_v a_o more_o fervent_a zeal_n to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o with_o a_o more_o hearty_a affection_n loe_o then_o why_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o have_v our_o join_a hand_n lift_v up_o too_o kneel_v upon_o our_o knee_n and_o have_v our_o head_n uncover_v for_o it_o be_v too_o show_v that_o we_o present_v ourselves_o before_o god_n as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v and_o poor_a wretch_n who_o be_v thou_o with_o what_o lowliness_n ought_v thou_o too_o come_v before_o he_o who_o have_v create_v and_o fashion_v thou_o and_o to_o who_o thou_o haste_v to_o render_v a_o account_n of_o thy_o whole_a life_n and_o again_o this_o also_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v bereave_v ourselves_o of_o all_o vain_a fantasy_n that_o make_v we_o to_o stray_v here_o and_o there_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v whole_o rest_n upon_o he_o so_o then_o the_o altar_n that_o isaac_n erect_v serve_v to_o this_o purpose_n to_o wit_n that_o by_o this_o mean_a he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o provoke_v and_o have_v his_o heart_n so_o much_o the_o more_o inflame_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o make_v a_o confession_n before_o man_n to_o give_v example_n to_o his_o family_n and_o to_o testify_v that_o he_o mingle_v not_o himself_o with_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o paynim_n but_o have_v a_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a religion_n in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o word_n and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o altar_n and_o by_o the_o way_n we_o have_v also_o to_o learn_v here_o this_o thing_n which_o be_v declare_v before_o that_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n and_o the_o confession_n which_o they_o make_v of_o their_o faith_n be_v not_o join_v with_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o lead_v they_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o they_o be_v continual_o teach_v that_o they_o can_v have_v no_o access_n unto_o god_n but_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o a_o mediator_n who_o be_v not_o yet_o send_v into_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o they_o rest_v there_o but_o now_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v down_o &_o that_o he_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o &_o have_v say_v unto_o we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v the_o way_n 10_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n that_o he_o be_v our_o advocate_n to_o god_n his_o father_n &_o that_o through_o he_o we_o must_v have_v entrance_n into_o heaven_n see_v therefore_o we_o have_v all_o this_o must_v we_o not_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o assure_v when_o there_o be_v any_o question_n of_o call_v upon_o he_o that_o we_o know_v that_o our_o request_n shall_v be_v hear_v of_o he_o and_o the_o gate_n shall_v be_v open_a for_o we_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v he_o ready_a and_o favourable_a to_o help_v and_o succour_v we_o now_o howsoever_o it_o be_v let_v we_o mark_v that_o altar_n in_o old_a time_n and_o special_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v always_o erect_v to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o faithful_a may_v know_v that_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o pray_v unto_o god_n nor_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o their_o own_o name_n but_o that_o always_o they_o must_v come_v to_o he_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o must_v offer_v up_o to_o his_o father_n for_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o abraham_n and_o isaac_n devise_v altar_n according_a to_o their_o own_o fantasy_n for_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v never_o acceptable_a but_o through_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v now_o they_o can_v never_o have_v be_v ground_v in_o faith_n unless_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v go_v before_o to_o enlighten_v they_o let_v we_o know_v then_o that_o isaac_n offer_v not_o up_o a_o sacrifice_n at_o all_o adventure_n as_o if_o he_o have_v think_v o_o this_o shall_v be_v find_v good_a but_o he_o be_v teach_v that_o he_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n he_o must_v not_o presume_v to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n unless_o he_o put_v his_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o who_o must_v be_v send_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n and_o to_o purge_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n the_o paynim_n have_v in_o deed_n their_o altar_n and_o sacrifice_v as_o do_v the_o holy_a father_n but_o they_o want_v the_o principal_a they_o be_v whole_o occupy_v in_o the_o ceremony_n which_o of_o itself_o be_v frivolous_a because_o they_o look_v not_o up_o to_o that_o heavenly_a pattern_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o leviticus_fw-la so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v that_o when_o our_o father_n isaac_n will_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n he_o have_v a_o altar_n to_o witness_v that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v receive_v but_o in_o the_o name_n &_o favour_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o at_o this_o day_n as_o often_o as_o we_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o wash_v our_o pray_v

upon_o the_o dignity_n of_o faith_n they_o must_v our_o faith_n be_v perfect_a for_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v weak_a as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v and_o that_o we_o have_v but_o only_o a_o part_n of_o it_o than_o shall_v we_o have_v but_o a_o part_n of_o salvation_n and_o further_o it_o shall_v be_v shake_v &_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v waver_v and_o in_o doubt_n but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o faith_n it_o be_v because_o we_o accept_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v full_o sufficient_a for_o our_o salvation_n our_o faith_n be_v imperfect_a yea_o but_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v never_o so_o little_a a_o spark_n yet_o nevertheless_o shall_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n supplier_fw-fr that_o which_o be_v want_v even_o as_o we_o now_o bear_v this_o corrupt_a lump_n not_o only_o in_o our_o body_n but_o in_o our_o whole_a nature_n but_o we_o know_v that_o our_o soul_n go_v unto_o death_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n where_o be_v our_o life_n it_o be_v in_o we_o how_o in_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 8._o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o have_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o fullness_n no_o not_o so_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v but_o one_o spark_n or_o drop_n of_o it_o but_o this_o say_v he_o be_v life_n and_o shall_v swallow_v up_o all_o whatsoever_o belong_v to_o death_n in_o we_o and_o shall_v make_v it_o of_o no_o effect_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o although_o our_o faith_n be_v very_o little_a and_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o we_o conceive_v not_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n offer_v unto_o we_o yea_o and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o by_o a_o lick_n taste_v his_o grace_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o despair_v too_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n for_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o our_o estimation_n or_o of_o our_o paise_n and_o weigh_v it_o in_o our_o balance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o have_v a_o excellent_a faith_n to_o obtain_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o the_o question_n only_o be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v be_v our_o father_n that_o we_o embrace_v this_o promise_n &_o stay_v ourselves_o thereupon_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n or_o distrust_n that_o we_o resist_v they_o and_o that_o we_o hold_v fast_o this_o conclusion_n oh_o we_o be_v yet_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v not_o disappoint_v we_o mark_v then_o what_o we_o have_v here_o too_o hold_v aswell_o by_o the_o example_n of_o rebecca_n as_o by_o the_o example_n of_o isaac_n but_o moses_n say_v now_o express_o that_o jacob_n refuse_v say_v and_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v i_o be_o not_o hairy_a as_o my_o brother_n be_v and_o if_o my_o father_n shall_v find_v the_o deceit_n he_o will_v curse_v i_o here_o we_o see_v as_o it_o seem_v two_o great_a vice_n in_o jacob_n the_o one_o be_v that_o he_o fear_v his_o father_n more_o them_z god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o may_v so_o be_v judge_v thereof_o but_o when_o all_o shall_v be_v well_o mark_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o be_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o move_v he_o thereunto_o for_o concern_v the_o curse_n of_o his_o father_n he_o be_v not_o otherwise_o careful_a of_o it_o then_o in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v imprint_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o his_o father_n be_v establish_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o he_o see_v therefore_o that_o jacob_n have_v this_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o rest_v not_o upon_o any_o thing_n from_o man_n but_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o father_n he_o consider_v that_o which_o god_n have_v decree_v the_o other_o evil_n be_v that_o he_o doubt_v now_o we_o know_v that_o in_o our_o life_n if_o we_o be_v not_o well_o certify_v we_o shall_v not_o remove_v so_o much_o as_o one_o finger_n to_o the_o end_n we_o sin_v not_o and_o that_o god_n be_v not_o offend_v and_o why_o so_o obedience_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o sacrifice_n when_o therefore_o we_o shall_v attempt_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n not_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o and_o whether_o god_n do_v allow_v it_o this_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o we_o shall_v despite_n god_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o know_v how_o to_o eat_v or_o to_o drink_v or_o to_o be_v short_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o remove_v a_o mote_n but_o that_o all_o our_o action_n shall_v be_v condemn_v and_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o utter_a detestation_n &_o s._n paul_n also_o pronounce_v it_o for_o by_o this_o word_n of_o faith_n he_o understand_v certainty_n in_o the_o 14._o to_o the_o rom._n that_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o that_o which_o we_o do_v be_v permit_v of_o god_n and_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n but_o see_v jacob_n who_o say_v how_o shall_v this_o be_v i_o be_o not_o hairy_a as_o my_o brother_n be_v he_o doubt_v that_o therefore_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o after_o that_o he_o have_v obey_v his_o mother_n he_o shall_v commit_v evil_a &_o that_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v take_v in_o hand_n shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n &_o that_o god_n will_v detest_v it_o and_o sure_o so_o have_v it_o be_v if_o he_o have_v always_o remain_v doubtful_a that_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v have_v do_v be_v of_o sin_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v to_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v confirm_v but_o the_o answer_n which_o his_o mother_n give_v he_o be_v the_o curse_n be_v upon_o i_o but_o she_o be_v not_o so_o lean_a and_o so_o dry_a as_o here_o she_o be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o but_o she_o show_v he_o that_o he_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n &_o that_o the_o birthright_n belong_v unto_o he_o and_o in_o deed_n we_o shall_v see_v how_o he_o be_v confirm_v and_o that_o he_o fear_v no_o more_o when_o he_o be_v before_o his_o father_n thus_o than_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v that_o jacob_n be_v confirm_v to_o resolve_v himself_o and_o too_o know_v that_o the_o blessing_n which_o he_o seek_v can_v not_o be_v disappoint_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n notwithstanding_o we_o can_v not_o excuse_v he_o but_o that_o he_o fall_v foul_o even_o in_o the_o very_a beginning_n the_o matter_n be_v here_o of_o the_o build_n of_o his_o house_n but_o jacob_n doubt_v &_o stick_v here_o not_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o have_v a_o very_a evil_a beginning_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o in_o that_o case_n but_o confusion_n have_v not_o god_n help_v therein_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v as_o well_o in_o jacob_n as_o in_o isaac_n &_o in_o rebecca_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n come_v not_o unto_o they_o nor_o have_v any_o entry_n unto_o they_o by_o their_o own_o wisdom_n nor_o by_o their_o good_a mean_n which_o they_o invent_v lo_o therefore_o the_o default_n which_o be_v here_o but_o god_n have_v outgo_v all_o their_o fault_n and_o offence_n and_o wrought_v in_o such_o sort_n through_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n that_o we_o have_v good_a occasion_n to_o bow_v down_o our_o head_n and_o to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o
