stil._n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o word_n shall_v continue_v still_o and_o although_o man_n strain_n themselves_o never_o so_o much_o to_o aboolish_a this_o doctrine_n yet_o notwithstanding_o

any_o warning_n notwithstanding_o the_o good_a order_n which_o god_n have_v take_v for_o the_o procure_n of_o their_o salvation_n now_o let_v we_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o ourselves_o also_o and_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o whensoever_o god_n word_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o if_o we_o receive_v it_o not_o our_o refusal_n must_v be_v grave_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o

that_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v but_o lose_v labour_n and_o as_o a_o sound_n that_o vanish_v in_o the_o air_n but_o there_o shall_v not_o one_o of_o the_o word_n that_o god_n have_v speak_v

as_o there_o be_v neither_o craft_n nor_o spite_n nor_o any_o other_o wickedness_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v there_o and_o why_o for_o without_o have_v any_o regard_n of_o god_n there_o be_v

what_o be_v say_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o according_a as_o god_n have_v ordain_v state_n and_o degree_n among_o man_n so_o must_v man_n dispose_v thing_n and_o direct_v they_o by_o the_o

the_o jew_n all_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v to_o do_v when_o he_o say_v so_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v protest_v that_o they_o can_v not_o but_o know_v that_o they_o sin_v not_o through_o ignorance_n neither_o can_v say_v i_o take_v it_o to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v you_o know_v say_v moses_n there_o be_v no_o let_v but_o in_o yourselves_o for_o i_o for_o my_o part_n have_v be_v faithful_a full_a to_o godward_o since_o the_o time_n that_o he_o do_v put_v i_o in_o trust_n to_o instruct_v you_o i_o have_v teach_v you_o as_o he_o command_v i_o now_o therefore_o you_o can_v have_v any_o excuse_n to_o hide_v you_o withal_o and_o if_o moses_n have_v such_o a_o care_n to_o teach_v the_o people_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o earthly_a government_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o be_v yet_o more_o diligent_a in_o teach_v they_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v do_v moses_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o do_v not_o conceal_v nor_o hide_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v their_o worldly_a duty_n for_o the_o mainteyn_v of_o some_o order_n and_o human_a honesty_n among_o they_o then_o be_v it_o much_o more_o likely_a that_o he_o first_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o afterward_o show_v they_o the_o rule_n of_o good_a conversation_n and_o there_o withal_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o salvation_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o his_o people_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o nothing_o be_v conceal_v in_o that_o behalf_n but_o that_o he_o use_v a_o exquisite_a diligence_n so_o as_o he_o leave_v not_o the_o jew_n in_o doubt_n without_o due_a warrant_n how_o to_o behave_v themselves_o to_o god-ward_o now_o then_o if_o moses_n discharge_v his_o duty_n after_o that_o sort_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o sufficient_a doctrine_n to_o instruct_v the_o people_n and_o that_o he_o use_v not_o any_o shift_n to_o carry_v they_o here_o and_o there_o afterward_o come_v the_o prophet_n which_o add_v yet_o a_o great_a light_n last_o of_o all_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o then_o can_v we_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o teach_v we_o sufficient_o and_o that_o all_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n yea_o and_o jesus_n

to_o hearken_v to_o our_o god_n and_o he_o will_v be_v a_o good_a schoolmaster_n to_o we_o and_o let_v we_o be_v content_v with_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o there_o we_o have_v so_o perfect_a wisdom_n as_o no_o fault_n can_v be_v find_v with_o it_o consider_v well_o therefore_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o strain_n to_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o may_v indever_n to_o profit_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o ignorance_n in_o we_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o it_o be_v through_o our_o own_o

follow_v the_o doctrine_n that_o our_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o whereby_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o put_v this_o

will_v go_v about_o it_o out_o of_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o pass_v all_o that_o be_v in_o man_n when_o we_o once_o know_v that_o the_o law_n contain_v too_o high_a a_o

but_o it_o be_v true_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n to_o do_v this_o but_o god_n must_v give_v we_o that_o grace_n and_o he_o give_v it_o not_o to_o all_o

the_o other_o sort_n go_v on_o still_o in_o their_o corruption_n without_o bring_v of_o they_o back_o we_o must_v not_o enter_v into_o that_o maze_n but_o it_o must_v suffice_v we_o that_o god_n

and_o to_o cast_v away_o the_o rest_n but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v he_o make_v this_o promise_n to_o the_o faithful_a that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o their_o child_n and_o that_o as_o he_o have_v begin_v his_o mercy_n upon_o the_o parent_n themselves_o so_o he_o will_v hold_v out_o with_o it_o continual_o unto_o a_o thousand_o generation_n we_o see_v now_o that_o there_o be_v some_o cause_n why_o god_n have_v pity_n upon_o the_o one_o sort_n rather_o than_o upon_o the_o other_o again_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o threaten_v the_o unbeliever_n that_o he_o will_v curse_v they_o not_o only_o in_o themselves_o but_o also_o in_o their_o race_n and_o in_o those_o that_o shall_v spring_v of_o they_o but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o mercy_n that_o god_n grant_v and_o to_o the_o punishment_n that_o he_o extend_v his_o blessing_n of_o the_o faithful_a folk_n child_n be_v not_o in_o riches_n in_o health_n and_o in_o all_o other_o such_o thing_n or_o in_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v to_o the_o world_n ward_n those_o be_v not_o the_o great_a blessing_n which_o god_n grant_v that_o be_v not_o the_o end_n which_o he_o begin_v at_o but_o rather_o the_o mercy_n that_o he_o show_v they_o be_v that_o he_o govern_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o give_v they_o the_o badge_n of_o his_o adopt_a child_n and_o that_o he_o correct_v they_o and_o purge_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n to_o fashion_v they_o again_o after_o his_o own_o image_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mercy_n which_o god_n extend_v towards_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v that_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o abide_v in_o their_o own_o corruption_n and_o naughtiness_n but_o reform_v and_o rule_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n this_o do_v he_o

have_v take_v they_o up_o into_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n and_o there_o give_v they_o everlasting_a life_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n whereas_o he_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o he_o let_v their_o offspring_n alone_o in_o the_o same_o plight_n that_o they_o be_v in_o there_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n there_o be_v a_o

they_o run_v at_o rover_n so_o as_o satan_n must_v needs_o possess_v they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o destitute_a of_o god_n spirit_n what_o can_v betide_v they_o but_o utter_a mischief_n so_o as_o they_o must_v provoke_v he_o to_o wrath_n more_o and_o more_o now_o then_o do_v our_o lord_n punish_v they_o without_o cause_n can_v they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v guiltless_a no_o for_o there_o be_v fault_n enough_o in_o they_o beforehande_o we_o see_v then_o much_o better_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v speak_v by_o ezechiel_n be_v true_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o

he_o punish_v they_o just_o and_o that_o they_o can_v shift_v themselves_o from_o his_o hand_n to_o say_v
after_o god_n have_v once_o speak_v he_o add_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v and_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v a_o horrible_a blasphemy_n when_o man_n

the_o right_a way_n which_o god_n have_v make_v and_o hedge_v in_o after_o that_o fashion_n and_o although_o god_n speak_v not_o present_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n as_o he_o do_v then_o yet_o ought_v we_o to_o bethink_v we_o oftentimes_o of_o this_o lesson_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o law_n in_o deed_n god_n speak_v not_o twice_o but_o he_o speak_v once_o for_o all_o as_o they_o say_v we_o on_o our_o part_n ought_v to_o hear_v it_o often_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o threescore_o and_o second_o psalm_n 62.12_o psal._n 62.12_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v once_o

shall_v always_o find_v ourselves_o to_o have_v need_n to_o profit_v more_o and_o more_o in_o god_n word_n therefore_o let_v we_o be_v diligent_a and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v our_o labour_n lose_v when_o we_o take_v y_fw-fr t_o way_n and_o apply_v our_o whole_a stody_n daily_o thereunto_o so_o as_o we_o never_o leave_v search_v and_o seek_v out_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n teach_v

it_o be_v repeat_v by_o moses_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o superfluous_a and_o in_o deed_n it_o can_v be_v tell_v we_o too_o often_o that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o carry_v a_o

bow_v their_o neck_n it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o they_o intend_v to_o resist_v god_n or_o to_o bid_v he_o battle_n but_o whatsoever_o they_o say_v be_v they_o pliable_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 affair_n and_o care_n of_o the_o world_n and_o we_o need_v nothing_o to_o hold_v we_o here_o beneath_o therefore_o it_o be_v great_o for_o our_o benefit_n that_o our_o lord_n shall_v touch_v we_o to_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

hold_v down_o here_o in_o these_o corruptible_a thing_n and_o therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v god_n speak_v from_o the_o midst_n of_o fire_n cloud_n and_o whirlwind_n when_o he_o go_v about_o to_o set_v forth_o his_o law_n for_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v touch_v with_o some_o fear_n so_o as_o they_o may_v say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o dally_a with_o
