husband_n but_o also_o to_o the_o live_a god_n for_o it_o be_v he_o to_o who_o she_o bind_v herself_o &_o like_v as_o he_o have_v ordain_v wedlock_n and_o be_v the_o author_n thereof_o so_o will_v he_o have_v a_o care_n for_o the_o maintain_v thereof_o therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o word_n adultery_n we_o ought_v to_o loath_a it_o as_o a_o express_a defy_v of_o god_n by_o wilful_a break_n of_o the_o holy_a bond_n which_o he_o have_v set_v in_o marriage_n like_o mad_a beast_n and_o hereby_o we_o see_v in_o what_o estimation_n he_o have_v honesty_n why_o so_o when_o he_o will_v have_v we_o sober_a chaste_a and_o modest_a he_o say_v if_o you_o be_v not_o honest_a and_o well_o stay_v you_o be_v no_o better_a than_o aduowterer_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whatsoever_o excuse_v you_o pretend_v before_o man_n and_o make_v you_o your_o fault_n never_o so_o small_a and_o light_a i_o hate_v you_o for_o you_o stink_n &_o your_o whole_a life_n be_v infect_v in_o my_o sight_n we_o see_v they_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o here_o be_v a_o strait_a commandment_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o honest_a &_o chaste_a and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v how_o fond_a their_o excuse_n be_v which_o say_v they_o do_v no_o man_n wrong_v when_o they_o be_v full_a of_o disorder_n and_o unrulinesse_n for_o our_o lord_n know_v well_o enough_o to_o what_o end_n he_o use_v such_o speech_n it_o be_v not_o for_o y_z t_z he_o be_v toungty_v &_o wist_v not_o how_o to_o utter_v thing_n in_o order_n but_o because_o he_o intend_v to_o show_v that_o if_o man_n make_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n of_o wantonness_n and_o unchastitie_n there_o be_v another_o balance_n for_o they_o to_o be_v try_v by_o namely_o that_o he_o condemn_v &_o accurse_v all_o those_o for_o advouterer_n which_o behave_v themselves_o unhonest_o or_o unchaste_o therefore_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n to_o weigh_v well_o y_z e_z word_n y_o it_o be_v set_v down_o here_o where_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o aduowterer_n but_o yet_o herewithal_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o degree_n y_o it_o be_v contain_v under_o this_o commandment_n first_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v we_o understand_v you_o t_o god_n will_v have_v wedlock_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a for_o as_o our_o person_n &_o life_n be_v dear_a unto_o he_o so_o will_v he_o have_v y_o it_o faith_n and_o troth_n that_o be_v plight_v between_o man_n &_o wife_n to_o be_v maintain_v in_o their_o price_n and_o estimation_n that_o so_o holy_a a_o thing_n as_o marriage_n be_v not_o give_v up_o to_o shame_n &_o reproach_n this_o aught_o to_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v look_v upon_o his_o neighbour_n wise_a with_o unchaste_a eye_n and_o why_o for_o god_n have_v match_v she_o to_o a_o husband_n already_o &_o he_o will_v have_v her_o husband_n to_o shadow_v she_o 20.16_o ●en_n 20.16_o and_o when_o we_o think_v any_o evil_n or_o feel_v any_o unhonest_a lust_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o shun_v it_o for_o fear_n of_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o namely_o that_o god_n himself_o take_v vengeance_n of_o they_o that_o break_v the_o holy_a fellowship_n which_o be_v knit_v in_o his_o name_n 2.17_o ●rou_fw-fr 2.17_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o woman_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o husband_n so_o as_o a_o wife_n may_v not_o yield_v to_o wicked_a lust_n when_o she_o behold_v a_o marry_a man_n why_o so_o for_o god_n have_v assign_v she_o she_o make_v if_o we_o will_v not_o make_v war_n against_o our_o maker_n we_o must_v live_v every_o one_o in_o his_o own_o house_n w_z t_z such_o match_n as_o he_o have_v &_o you_o t_o order_n must_v be_v maintain_v w_o tout_fw-fr breach_n because_o god_n be_v y_z t_z author_n of_o it_o that_o be_v one_o principal_a point_n but_o beside_o this_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n &_o remember_v that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o earthly_a lawemaker_n which_o forbid_v but_o only_o the_o outward_a deed_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o let_v the_o lewd_a affection_n alone_o 16.7_o 1._o sam._n 16.7_o for_o god_n will_v admit_v no_o eyeseruice_n neither_o be_v he_o like_v to_o us._n man_n be_v content_v if_o they_o perceive_v no_o fault_n but_o god_n who_o search_v man_n heart_n 5.3_o jer._n 5.3_o respect_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o jeremie_n therefore_o he_o in_o his_o law_n mean_v not_o to_o restrain_v our_o body_n only_o but_o also_o have_v a_o special_a regard_n to_o our_o soul_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n not_o only_o forbid_v the_o act_n so_o as_o wedlock_n be_v not_o break_v by_o any_o actual_a deed_n but_o also_o he_o forbid_v all_o wicked_a lust_n and_o lykinge_n and_o therefore_o do_v our_o lord_n jesus_n chest_n say_v 5.28_o matt._n 5.28_o that_o he_o which_o look_v upon_o another_o man_n wife_n with_o a_o wicked_a eye_n be_v a_o aduowter_n already_o before_o god_n though_o he_o can_v be_v blame_v by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n nor_o punish_v as_o a_o advowterer_n yet_o be_v he_o condemn_v already_o before_o god_n as_o have_v transgress_v this_o commandment_n therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v this_o word_n adultery_n which_o be_v so_o great_o conden_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o only_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o whoredom_n as_o touch_v the_o actual_a deed_n but_o also_o to_o keep_v our_o thought_n and_o conceit_n chaste_a so_o as_o we_o be_v undefiled_a both_o of_o eye_n and_o heart_n for_o after_o that_o manner_n do_v s._n paul_n define_v true_a chastity_n 7.34_o 1._o cor._n 7.34_o when_o he_o say_v that_o such_o as_o be_v unmarried_a aught_o to_o have_v a_o care_n how_o to_o please_v god_n by_o keep_v themselves_o pure_a and_o clean_a both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n he_o say_v not_o that_o those_o continue_v chaste_a which_o have_v not_o defile_v their_o body_n with_o whoredom_n but_o which_o have_v indevor_v to_o keep_v themselves_o undefiled_a both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n and_o when_o we_o have_v thus_o consider_v how_o god_n curse_v and_o abhor_v all_o advowtry_n we_o must_v proceed_v further_a and_o reach_v out_o and_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o whoredom_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o which_o break_v the_o faith_n of_o wedlock_n commit_v a_o double_a offence_n and_o it_o be_v much_o more_o heinous_a as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o god_n meaning_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o only_o not_o commit_v any_o thing_n against_o marriage_n but_o also_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o lead_v a_o beaste_o life_n so_o as_o whoredom_n may_v

shall_v be_v pure_a and_o clean_a both_o in_o body_n and_o mind_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o not_o only_o our_o soul_n 6.19_o 1._o cor._n 6.19_o but_o also_o our_o body_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o be_v declare_v even_o now_o solemnize_v note_v that_o he_o speak_v this_o because_o y_z t_o day_n at_o the_o sermon_n a_o marriage_n be_v solemnize_v and_o they_o be_v saint_n paul_n own_o word_n where_o he_o tell_v the_o corinthian_n that_o it_o be_v too_o too_o much_o to_o their_o reproach_n and_o shame_n to_o suffer_v fornication_n and_o whoredom_n among_o they_o as_o they_o do_v know_v you_o not_o say_v he_o that_o your_o body_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n behold_v god_n have_v do_v we_o the_o honour_n to_o choose_v these_o wretched_a body_n of_o we_o which_o not_o only_o be_v frail_a vessel_n but_o also_o rot_a carcase_n and_o earth_n god_n i_o say_v notwithstanding_o this_o have_v so_o inhonor_v they_o as_o to_o vouchsafe_v to_o make_v they_o the_o temple_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o may_v dwell_v there_o &_o shall_v we_o go_v welter_v they_o in_o all_o filthiness_n and_o make_v hoggescote_n or_o swine_n sty_n of_o they_o what_o a_o treachery_n be_v that_o again_o that_o be_v not_o all_o 6.13_o 1._o cor._n 6.13_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n whereunto_o s._n paul_n lead_v us._n our_o body_n be_v member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o if_o a_o man_n give_v over_o his_o body_n to_o whoredom_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o tear_v christ_n body_n asunder_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v mingle_v god_n son_n the_o fountain_n of_o all_o cleanesse_n with_o our_o filth_n and_o loathsomeness_n now_o than_o if_o a_o man_n cast_v himself_o into_o whoredom_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o a_o rend_n of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o piece_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v not_o that_o
renew_n of_o we_o and_o the_o write_n of_o god_n law_n in_o our_o heart_n thereby_o to_o fashion_v we_o according_a to_o the_o righteousness_n contain_v in_o y_z e_z same_o be_v reserve_v alone_o to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o give_v we_o the_o will_n to_o follow_v god_n his_o father_n and_o to_o obey_v he_o for_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o

then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o our_o duty_n when_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o what_o god_n require_v of_o

be_v allege_v unto_o we_o we_o do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n to_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v there_o and_o therefore_o thou_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o change_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o new_a

jesus_n christ_n once_o give_v we_o this_o will_n 2.13_o phil._n 2.13_o he_o give_v we_o also_o ability_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o desire_n and_o strengthen_v we_o so_o against_o all_o temptation_n as_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v overcome_v by_o they_o you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v hie_v we_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o that_o prerogative_n and_o

shall_v not_o see_v he_o here_o personal_o present_a how_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o write_v god_n law_n in_o our_o heart_n let_v we_o not_o allege_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n for_o

and_o although_o the_o party_n that_o preach_v unto_o we_o be_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o the_o word_n which_o he_o utter_v unto_o we_o with_o his_o mouth_n do_v vanish_v anon_o after_o away_o in_o the_o air_n yet_o let_v not_o we_o doubt_v but_o jesus_n christ_n will_v for_o all_o that_o do_v his_o dewtie_n 3.3_o rom._n ●0_n 13._o 2._o cor._n 3.3_o as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o in_o deed_n the_o faithful_a have_v experience_n thereof_o for_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v so_o much_o as_o any_o thought_n at_o all_o of_o come_v unto_o god_n 4.7_o eph._n 4.7_o or_o of_o do_v any_o good_a unless_o we_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o this_o ground_n namely_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v thorough_o settle_v and_o constant_a all_o the_o which_o proceed_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n therefore_o whensoever_o we_o feel_v that_o god_n draw_v we_o unto_o he_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o he_o show_v we_o how_o we_o be_v member_n of_o

be_v write_v new_a again_o in_o our_o heart_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o moses_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o god_n hear_v he_o for_o that_o time_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o abuse_v god_n goodness_n but_o understand_v their_o offence_n to_o have_v be_v so_o horrible_a that_o if_o they_o do_v so_o any_o more_o and_o tempt_v god_n again_o afterward_o they_o shall_v find_v no_o mercy_n the_o intent_n then_o of_o moses_n in_o this_o place_n be_v to_o hold_v the_o people_n in_o awe_n true_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o if_o god_n find_v we_o repentaunt_a for_o our_o sin_n he_o will_v ever_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v all_o that_o we_o have_v commit_v let_v we_o but_o only_o make_v towards_o he_o and_o he_o will_v reach_v we_o his_o hand_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v take_v leave_n to_o do_v evil_a under_o colour_n that_o god_n be_v so_o merciful_a to_o wretched_a sinner_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o return_v unto_o he_o he_o prevent_v they_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v they_o and_o embrace_v they_o aforehand_o this_o say_v i_o must_v not_o make_v we_o the_o more_o incline_v to_o do_v evil_a but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o when_o god_n have_v forgive_v we_o once_o we_o must_v no_o more_o fall_v back_o again_o for_o then_o do_v we_o tempt_v he_o and_o abuse_v his_o patience_n which_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o shut_v we_o out_o of_o the_o gate_n of_o salvation_n and_o to_o disappoint_v ourselves_o utter_o of_o all_o the_o mercy_n which_o he_o be_v mind_v to_o have_v use_v towards_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o we_o shall_v have_v offend_v twenty_o or_o thirty_o time_n yet_o do_v god_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n upon_o us._n but_o i_o speak_v as_o now_o of_o those_o that_o take_v liberty_n to_o offend_v and_o say_v see_v i_o have_v find_v god_n so_o gentle_a and_o pitiful_a i_o shall_v sure_o be_v receive_v of_o he_o at_o all_o time_n sure_o when_o man_n stand_v so_o upon_o god_n mercy_n and_o under_o pretence_n thereof_o do_v either_o become_v negligent_a or_o else_o give_v over_o themselves_o to_o all_o naughtiness_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o renounce_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o their_o salvation_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o

a_o wonder_n that_o ever_o we_o obtain_v pardon_v and_o it_o must_v needs_o astonish_v we_o still_o that_o god_n will_v rid_v we_o out_o of_o such_o danger_n as_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o consider_v how_o deadly_a and_o over_o deadly_a the_o fall_n be_v now_o then_o see_v that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o so_o friendly_a towards_o we_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o provoke_v not_o his_o
