notwithstanding_o we_o be_v but_o yet_o on_o our_o way_n still_o and_o we_o come_v far_o short_a of_o fulfil_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v and_o command_v in_o the_o law_n thus_o have_v we_o

the_o spiritual_a rest_n be_v not_o yet_o such_o as_o he_o have_v command_v nothing_o near_o and_o like_v as_o we_o have_v occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o &_o to_o be_v sorry_a with_o true_a

and_o meek_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o they_o come_v far_o short_a of_o it_o again_o there_o be_v a_o blockishness_n in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o dote_v upon_o these_o worldly_a thing_n we_o can_v raise_v up_o our_o wit_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o god_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o that_o spiritual_a wisdom_n because_o our_o wit_n be_v occupy_v afore_o hand_n about_o the_o

the_o quick_a to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v yield_v such_o reverence_n to_o his_o word_n as_o it_o may_v not_o die_v partly_o through_o our_o stubbornness_n and_o partly_o through_o our_o

therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o our_o resort_v unto_o sermon_n must_v not_o be_v to_o commend_v the_o doctrine_n for_o good_a and_o holy_a for_o god_n shall_v be_v much_o beholden_a to_o we_o for_o say_v that_o his_o word_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v receive_v he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o be_v his_o judge_n it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o owe_v he_o that_o acknowledgement_n so_o as_o

than_o be_v contain_v there_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o pass_v further_o therewithal_o and_o yield_v ourselves_o to_o the_o serve_v of_o our_o god_n that_o be_v one_o point_v which_o we_o have_v to_o

and_o if_o he_o let_v we_o alone_o as_o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v slow_a but_o also_o draw_v clean_o back_o from_o his_o wil._n if_o he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o we_o shall_v go_v from_o he_o yea_o &_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o little_a able_a to_o covet_v any_o good_a at_o all_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v enforce_v to_o do_v evil_a but_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o namely_o that_o although_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o some_o good_a disposition_n of_o mind_n and_o set_v we_o in_o some_o good_a forwardness_n yet_o be_v we_o slothful_a still_o and_o when_o we_o shall_v step_v one_o pace_n forth_o whereas_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v do_v in_o less_o than_o a_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n we_o must_v have_v a_o whole_a hour_n to_o do_v it_o in_o nay_o we_o fall_v to_o kick_v or_o else_o by_o that_o time_n that_o we_o have_v go_v one_o pace_n ofttimes_o we_o stumble_v or_o retire_v back_o or_o else_o take_v such_o foul_a fall_n as_o be_v piteous_a to_o see_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o god_n say_v here_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v they_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v in_o deed_n my_o law_n be_v give_v you_o to_o the_o intent_n you_o shall_v put_v it_o in_o execution_n and_o obey_v it_o but_o yet_o think_v not_o you_o that_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a a_o matter_n to_o be_v do_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o prepare_v yourselves_o to_o walk_v after_o my_o commandment_n think_v upon_o they_o put_v to_o your_o endeavour_n be_v diligent_a therein_o take_v a_o taste_n &_o savour_n of_o they_o keep_v good_a watch_n for_o fear_n of_o be_v turn_v away_o and_o take_v very_o good_a heed_n to_o yourselves_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o our_o lord_n exhort_v we_o here_o to_o labour_v earnest_o when_o the_o case_n stand_v upon_o walk_v in_o obedience_n towards_o he_o and_o why_o for_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o require_v of_o we_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v do_v and_o beside_o that_o we_o be_v so_o ill_o dispose_v thereunto_o as_o be_v pity_n to_o see_v insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o spur_v and_o drive_v by_o force_n we_o can_v go_v forward_o therefore_o it_o

that_o we_o may_v well_o understand_v aforehand_o how_o great_o god_n love_v we_o by_o his_o promise_v of_o reward_n &_o recompense_v for_o our_o work_n for_o he_o do_v it_o not_o of_o any_o duty_n

as_o our_o work_n may_v please_v he_o although_o they_o deserve_v it_o not_o for_o that_o be_v verify_v even_o in_o these_o base_a thing_n beneath_o when_o we_o take_v our_o repast_n of_o the_o

that_o man_n do_v not_o only_o mar_v themselves_o by_o bear_v themselves_o on_o hand_n that_o they_o be_v righteous_a for_o want_v of_o consider_v their_o sin_n thorough_o but_o also_o that_o they_o

that_o abraham_n do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n 22.2_o gen._n 22.2_o for_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o to_o bless_v isaac_n and_o to_o raise_v up_o a_o people_n of_o his_o seed_n who_o he_o will_v take_v to_o himself_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o command_v abraham_n to_o slay_v isaac_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n now_o it_o seem_v that_o after_o the_o example_n which_o be_v set_v we_o

there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n in_o they_o god_n have_v say_v to_o abraham_n thy_o seed_n shall_v be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n but_o about_o afoure_n hundred_o year_n hence_o i_o will_v perform_v the_o

we_o see_v yet_o better_a the_o thing_n which_o i_o touch_v afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o cut_v off_o of_o moses_n or_o from_o shut_v he_o out_o that_o he_o

will_v be_v restrain_v by_o it_o now_o than_o we_o see_v these_o two_o question_n well_o resoluedâ—_n and_o the_o profit_n that_o redound_v of_o this_o text_n namely_o first_o that_o the_o force_n of_o our_o prayer_n be_v show_v we_o here_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n faithful_o and_o second_o we_o see_v that_o danger_n ought_v to_o provoke_v we_o the_o more_o the_o more_o that_o god_n wrath_n be_v utter_v unto_o we_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v move_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n because_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o drive_v we_o thereto_o by_o force_n and_o we_o must_v not_o

let_v we_o learn_v then_o that_o god_n must_v first_o love_v we_o and_o that_o we_o must_v feel_v the_o same_o by_o effect_n in_o we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v not_o stay_v still_o at_o that_o love_n but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o better_o feel_v y_z t_o it_o be_v a_o free_a love_n we_o must_v proceed_v to_o god_n pleasure_n or_o will_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o

and_o because_o it_o like_v he_o therefore_o he_o list_v it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o moses_n have_v declare_v in_o this_o text_n howbeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v as_o now_o

where_o else_o than_o in_o god_n &_o that_o be_v utter_o naked_a of_o all_o goodness_n we_o must_v confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v utter_o accurse_v but_o that_o god_n pity_v we_o and_o mynd_v to_o

after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o man_n sue_v unto_o woman_n when_o they_o will_v match_v with_o they_o in_o wedlock_n and_o so_o our_o lord_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o take_v we_o as_o

we_o unto_o good_a wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n speak_v here_o of_o sorrow_v it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o although_o a_o woman_n mourn_v

that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o judge_n speak_v unto_o the_o man_n to_o persuade_v he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o if_o the_o man_n will_v not_o consent_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o the_o magistrate_n and_o other_o justicer_n ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o use_v any_o force_n and_o violence_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v simple_o command_v as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o i_o be_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n will_v constrain_v a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o i_o think_v good_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o the_o law_n constrain_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o their_o bound_n and_o not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o say_v what_o i_o command_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v do_v it_o no_o for_o there_o be_v no_o constrain_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o law_n a_o man_n must_v hold_v himself_o to_o the_o rule_n thereof_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o point_n that_o must_v be_v come_v unto_o be_v to_o presume_v to_o bring_v man_n into_o no_o further_a subjection_n than_o the_o law_n bind_v they_o unto_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o be_v far_a to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o shame_n that_o be_v do_v in_o pluck_v off_o of_o their_o shoe_n &_o in_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n it_o serve_v to_o provoke_v man_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n the_o better_a yet_o nevertheless_o if_o a_o man_n have_v rather_o sustain_v this_o reproach_n than_o to_o take_v wife_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v discharge_v thereof_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n show_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n in_o be_v grieve_v when_o the_o family_n be_v not_o

therefore_o if_o any_o have_v rather_o to_o suffer_v such_o shame_n than_o to_o take_v a_o wife_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o come_v to_o declare_v it_o public_o but_o we_o must_v now_o return_v unto_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o any_o carnal_a kindred_n privilege_v as_o the_o race_n and_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n be_v for_o god_n

nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o

to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n

occasion_n and_o ability_n to_o win_v a_o poor_a soul_n &_o to_o inlighten_v he_o with_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o then_o bestow_v our_o pain_n to_o this_o end_n know_v that_o if_o the_o carnal_a marriage_n be_v so_o precious_a under_o the_o law_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sure_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v make_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o

no_o force_n of_o we_o to_o marry_v against_o our_o will_n but_o of_o the_o win_n of_o wife_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o church_n we_o may_v always_o be_v the_o more_o firm_o link_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o our_o condition_n be_v more_o gentle_a and_o sweet_a than_o that_o which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v stir_v up_o

the_o wisdom_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o &_o the_o discretion_n to_o apply_v it_o well_o unto_o our_o use_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o two_o man_n be_v at_o strife_n and_o one_o of_o their_o wife_n come_v to_o deliver_v her_o husband_n and_o take_v his_o adversary_n by_o the_o privity_n her_o hand_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o this_o law_n betoken_v in_o effect_n that_o honesty_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v

which_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o now_o as_o concern_v the_o special_a case_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o we_o see_v how_o the_o woman_n may_v have_v somewhat_o for_o her_o excuse_n

and_o condemn_v that_o which_o they_o do_v and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o mortal_a creature_n to_o promise_v this_o or_o that_o unto_o himself_o but_o god_n must_v promise_v and_o we_o must_v

thereupon_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v here_o some_o example_n touch_v to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n require_v the_o full_a obedience_n of_o his_o law_n at_o our_o hand_n as_o shall_v be_v declare_v for_o a_o conclusion_n in_o the_o end_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n ratify_v his_o whole_a service_n now_o he_o come_v to_o the_o second_o table_n

see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o mark_v far_o that_o although_o god_n do_v mitigate_v our_o grief_n and_o comfort_v we_o yet_o do_v that_o serve_v we_o to_o no_o purpose_n if_o he_o give_v we_o not_o

that_o god_n guide_v he_o thereto_o see_v he_o can_v say_v upon_o a_o mountain_n shall_v my_o temple_n be_v build_v true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o name_v not_o mount_n zion_n but_o yet_o we_o see_v
