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

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

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

that_o we_o be_v all_o deaf_a blind_a and_o senseless_a we_o must_v mark_v these_o three_o thing_n that_o until_o god_n give_v we_o eye_n ear_n and_o spirit_n or_o heart_n we_o can_v not_o but_o go_v

that_o even_o of_o this_o that_o god_n give_v eye_n and_o ear_n to_o who_o he_o think_v good_a therefore_o let_v we_o not_o imagine_v that_o we_o be_v sufficient_a and_o capable_a to_o discern_v

thither_o as_o wretch_n that_o be_v blind_a deaf_a and_o altogether_o blockish_a until_o god_n have_v reform_v we_o &_o draw_v we_o to_o himself_o then_o like_a as_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o

will_v be_v edifyed_a in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o must_v be_v draw_v with_o this_o inward_a grace_n when_o
out_o of_o the_o way_n now_o in_o deed_n here_o may_v be_v a_o question_n put_v whether_o god_n can_v not_o have_v restrain_v y_o t_o people_n of_o israel_n better_a if_o he_o have_v will_v for_o we_o

if_o it_o be_v not_o better_o declare_v let_v we_o mark_v therefore_o first_o of_o all_o that_o by_o this_o song_n according_a to_o the_o story_n thereof_o report_v by_o moses_n god_n will_v be_v that_o the_o people_n before_o they_o be_v fall_v away_o and_o estrange_v from_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n shall_v have_v a_o testimony_n against_o themselves_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o at_o

after_o that_o manner_n howbeit_o that_o it_o grieve_v he_o to_o deal_v so_o rough_o with_o they_o like_o a_o father_n that_o be_v very_o sorry_a to_o use_v rigour_n towards_o his_o child_n after_o

there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n without_o burden_n yea_o or_o rather_o without_o bondage_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o we_o must_v also_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o have_v no_o ability_n at_o all_o of_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o much_o less_o be_v any_o man_n to_o be_v find_v sufficient_a to_o bear_v so_o great_a a_o burden_n there_o can_v so_o small_o a_o charge_n be_v commit_v unto_o we_o but_o the_o same_o be_v able_a to_o make_v our_o shoulder_n shrink_v yea_o and_o even_o to_o bow_v too_o for_o our_o infirmity_n be_v so_o great_a that_o

â—_o it_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n and_o it_o shall_v not_o boot_n we_o at_o all_o say_v the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o stand_v we_o then_o in_o hand_n to_o be_v well_o assure_v when_o we_o come_v before_o god_n so_o as_o we_o believe_v certain_o that_o our_o pray_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o require_v and_o that_o be_v the_o point_n where_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o christian_n do_v differre_fw-la from_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o infidel_n for_o the_o infidel_n and_o unbeliever_n may_v well_o flee_v unto_o god_n and_o crave_v this_o and_o that_o at_o his_o hand_n but_o what_o for_o that_o they_o be_v ever_o waver_v and_o wot_v not_o whether_o they_o shall_v obtain_v or_o no._n for_o they_o depend_v not_o upon_o the_o promise_n but_o as_o for_o we_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o god_n &_o that_o he_o be_v much_o ready_a to_o grant_v than_o we_o be_v to_o require_v yea_o and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o pitiful_a and_o have_v such_o a_o respect_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o necessity_n to_o relieve_v they_o 〈…〉_o â—sa_fw-la 〈…〉_o that_o he_o even_o prevent_v us._n we_o must_v be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o this_o when_o we_o pray_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v it_o we_o must_v not_o bear_v ourselves_o on_o hand_n that_o we_o hold_v god_n bind_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v make_v he_o to_o grant_v all_o our_o desire_n for_o what_o a_o malapertnesse_n be_v that_o and_o what_o a_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o if_o every_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o trow_v god_n will_v do_v whatsoever_o i_o listen_v to_o command_v he_o but_o we_o must_v rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n you_o see_v then_o that_o faith_n be_v requisite_a in_o our_o prayer_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o no_o man_n thrust_v forth_o himself_o upon_o his_o own_o head_n but_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n allure_v we_o unto_o he_o we_o go_v unto_o he_o bold_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o us._n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v note_v now_o that_o all_o our_o prayer_n be_v faulty_a if_o they_o be_v not_o rule_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o presume_v to_o ask_v of_o he_o whatsoever_o come_v in_o our_o head_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n for_o we_o to_o trust_v unto_o in_o go_v to_o it_o so_o without_o advice_n and_o therefore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o pass_v our_o bound_n we_o be_v never_o a_o whit_n further_v by_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o in_o pray_v we_o must_v always_o consider_v what_o god_n permit_v we_o &_o what_o his_o will_n be_v y_z t_z we_o shall_v ask_v of_o he_o and_o that_o we_o must_v ever_o have_v this_o modesty_n and_o soberness_n with_o we_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o he_o as_o though_o his_o spirit_n speak_v in_o we_o and_o indyte_v unto_o we_o the_o very_a form_n of_o our_o prayer_n 6.9_o matt._n 6.9_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

in_o the_o prayer_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v unto_o us._n and_o although_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n have_v not_o the_o same_o rule_n yet_o be_v they_o always_o

that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v us._n now_o then_o we_o see_v that_o all_o such_o as_o take_v leave_n to_o pray_v what_o they_o listen_v do_v not_o direct_v themselves_o to_o god_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o likewise_o disappoint_v of_o their_o desire_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o in_o all_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v well_o advise_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v lawful_a according_a to_o god_n word_n but_o now_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v promise_v without_o

pray_v god_n to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o show_v we_o mercy_n god_n have_v assure_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v it_o and_o see_v he_o have_v promise_v it_o our_o come_n to_o he_o to_o seek_v favour_n must_v not_o be_v as_o though_o we_o wist_v not_o what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o request_n but_o we_o must_v be_v full_o resolve_v that_o he_o will_v show_v we_o favour_v indeed_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o therewithal_o we_o desire_v he_o to_o release_v his_o chastisemente_n that_o be_v now_o another_o thing_n for_o he_o may_v well_o pardon_v our_o fault_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o subdue_v we_o until_o he_o perceive_v that_o our_o vice_n be_v correct_v i_o mean_v not_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v namely_o that_o god_n pardon_v the_o fault_n and_o retain_v the_o punishment_n still_o as_o they_o have_v surmise_v say_v that_o when_o god_n forgive_v man_n their_o sin_n he_o cease_v not_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o execute_v his_o rigour_n upon_o they_o as_o a_o judge_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o but_o god_n chastise_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n after_o he_o have_v forgive_v they_o howbeit_o not_o in_o way_n of_o punishment_n but_o to_o make_v we_o look_v better_o to_o ourselves_o &_o to_o be_v ware_o hereafter_o so_o as_o we_o become_v not_o so_o unconstant_a as_o to_o return_v to_o the_o self_n same_o fault_n again_o then_o if_o god_n perceive_v we_o to_o have_v need_n to_o be_v tame_v do_v listen_v to_o chastise_v we_o if_o we_o require_v of_o he_o simple_o &_o without_o condition_n that_o he_o

we_o not_o play_v the_o paynim_n and_o wretched_a infidel_n who_o be_v harp_v upon_o y_o e_o word_n god_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o in_o the_o mean_v run_v trot_v up_o and_o down_o know_v not_o

under_o foot_n which_o man_n have_v forge_v and_o imagine_v in_o their_o own_o brain_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o exalt_v he_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o nothing_o may_v impeach_v or_o darken_v

where_o he_o desire_v express_o to_o see_v the_o good_a mountain_n and_o the_o libanus_n for_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o jerusalem_n &_o the_o country_n about_o it_o be_v neither_o the_o

the_o good_a mountain_n before_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o mean_v the_o mountain_n morea_n we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o rest_v whole_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v

notwithstanding_o the_o common_a knowledge_n or_o instinct_n of_o nature_n hold_v they_o in_o order_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o very_a beast_n have_v skill_n to_o live_v well_o together_o with_o

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

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

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

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

unless_o a_o virtuous_a mind_n go_v before_o they_o &_o second_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v no_o secret_a or_o idle_a thing_n but_o y_o it_o although_o it_o be_v enclose_v in_o man_n heart_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o must_v show_v itself_o in_o their_o life_n for_o it_o be_v the_o heart_n that_o govern_v both_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o foot_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v beside_o therefore_o if_o we_o fear_v god_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o show_v it_o by_o our_o deed_n and_o by_o proof_n even_o by_o frame_v our_o life_n according_a to_o his_o will_n now_o hereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o god_n disallow_v all_o that_o ever_o man_n can_v do_v when_o they_o turn_v away_o from_o his_o word_n as_o for_o example_n the_o papist_n be_v always_o serve_v of_o god_n as_o they_o

be_v a_o gulf_n of_o all_o baggage_n cover_v with_o the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o god_n service_n but_o shall_v you_o find_v that_o ever_o god_n utter_v one_o word_n or_o syllable_n concern_v such_o

contrariwise_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o keep_v all_o his_o commandment_n and_o statute_n so_o then_o when_o man_n turn_v from_o that_o way_n and_o follow_v their_o own_o imagination_n and_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n thereby_o they_o show_v sufficient_o that_o they_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o they_o for_o else_o they_o will_v offer_v he_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o prefer_v before_o all_o thing_n namely_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o obedience_n as_o be_v show_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o samuel_n the_o fifteen_o chapter_n 15.22.23_o 1._o sam._n 15.22.23_o insomuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n harken_v not_o unto_o god_n voice_n to_o submit_v himself_o thereto_o but_o contrariwise_o follow_v the_o invention_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n or_o the_o thing_n that_o other_o man_n have_v devise_v sure_o it_o be_v a_o ydolatry_n and_o as_o bad_a as_o witchcraft_n which_o god_n abhor_v after_o that_o manner_n do_v god_n spirit_n speak_v of_o it_o notwithstanding_o that_o mortal_a man_n do_v deem_v the_o clean_a contrary_n now_o than_o we_o see_v how_o moses_n declare_v here_o that_o if_o we_o fear_v god_n in_o good_a earnest_n we_o will_v also_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o will_n so_o as_o we_o will_v not_o take_v leave_n at_o man_n hand_n to_o do_v what_o they_o think_v good_a but_o stop_v all_o man_n

with_o our_o transitory_a life_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o moses_n say_v thy_o child_n and_o they_o that_o issue_n of_o their_o race_n shall_v continue_v in_o serve_v god_n &_o in_o keep_v his_o law_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o here_o moses_n not_o only_o exhort_v every_o man_n to_o serve_v god_n by_o frame_v his_o own_o life_n according_a to_o the_o law_n that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o but_o also_o will_v father_n to_o take_v pain_n in_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n and_o to_o leave_v such_o seed_n after_o they_o so_o near_o as_o they_o can_v as_o god_n may_v be_v

in_o this_o behalf_n that_o they_o give_v such_o example_n to_o their_o child_n as_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v conspire_v to_o abolish_v all_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o all_o keep_n of_o his_o

be_v we_o worthy_a of_o y_fw-fr e_o continuance_n of_o they_o towards_o we_o see_v we_o be_v so_o negligent_a in_o cause_v his_o service_n to_o continue_v in_o perfect_a and_o unappaired_a state_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o this_o must_v not_o be_v speak_v to_o we_o in_o vain_a therefore_o let_v we_o endeavour_n to_o teach_v such_o as_o shall_v succeed_v we_o so_o as_o god_n may_v ever_o

and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n be_v let_v alone_o and_o his_o law_n be_v forget_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o he_o harden_v we_o in_o such_o brutishnes_n

say_v by_o his_o prophet_n esay_n 65.1_o esa._n 65.1_o namely_o that_o he_o appear_v to_o they_o that_o ask_v not_o after_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v find_v of_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o not_o insomuch_o that_o he_o say_v to_o they_o that_o be_v far_o off_o from_o he_o lo_o here_o i_o be_o yet_o notwithstanding_o man_n must_v not_o under_o this_o colour_n that_o god_n reach_v they_o his_o

if_o we_o seek_v y_z e_o light_n for_o he_o will_v not_o shut_v y_z e_o door_n against_o we_o if_o we_o knock_v 11.9.10_o matt._n 7.7_o &_o luâ—_n 11.9.10_o &_o do_v our_o indever_n to_o enter_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o y_o e_o text_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o here_o god_n show_v not_o the_o end_n of_o his_o commandment_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o they_o and_o to_o what_o use_v he_o have_v appoint_v they_o he_o do_v not_o only_o show_v that_o the_o people_n be_v just_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n that_o be_v give_v they_o see_v that_o god_n have_v buy_v they_o so_o dear_o here_o be_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o word_n he_o do_v well_o deserve_v that_o we_o shall_v yield_v he_o obedience_n why_o so_o because_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o he_o have_v voutsafe_v to_o gather_v we_o together_o unto_o he_o to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o to_o fight_v under_o his_o standard_n and_o have_v make_v we_o to_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n and_o of_o his_o church_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v give_v we_o his_o sacrament_n so_o as_o we_o have_v the_o precept_n of_o his_o whole_a law_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o exercise_v of_o we_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v set_v such_o order_n among_o we_o as_o we_o now_o have_v we_o must_v know_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o all_o this_o nevertheless_o this_o briefenesse_n will_v be_v darksome_a if_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v better_a when_o we_o consider_v how_o god_n have_v create_v &_o shape_v we_o and_o moreover_o make_v we_o after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o give_v we_o wit_n and_o reason_n and_o therewithal_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a life_n and_o final_o have_v voutsafe_v to_o take_v we_o as_o his_o household_n folk_n it_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o for_o see_v he_o be_v our_o maker_n do_v we_o not_o owe_v he_o all_o obedience_n nay_o there_o be_v yet_o more_o namely_o that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n 11.9.10_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o gospel_n 11.9.10_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v guide_v by_o his_o hand_n now_o then_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v knowledge_n it_o must_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o stick_v to_o the_o pure_a religion_n that_o be_v comprehend_v in_o his_o word_n howbeit_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o when_o we_o be_v ask_v yet_o near_o wherefore_o y_a e_o promise_n of_o y_z e_z forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v give_v we_o 11.9.10_o we_o must_v answer_v alas_n it_o be_v because_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n &_o we_o shall_v be_v continual_o in_o anguish_n and_o sorrow_n of_o mind_n if_o we_o know_v not_o that_o god_n be_v content_v to_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n for_o he_o can_v love_v we_o except_o we_o be_v righteous_a and_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o

now_o you_o see_v whereunto_o the_o promise_n tend_v again_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v of_o we_o why_o he_o have_v appoint_v the_o order_n of_o prayer_n as_o well_o public_a as_o private_a it_o be_v for_o that_o every_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o inure_v himself_o to_o seek_v all_o his_o succour_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o have_v not_o any_o good_a thing_n we_o be_v destitute_a both_o of_o

and_o indeed_o when_o we_o read_v that_o herod_n be_v so_o consume_v of_o worm_n it_o ought_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o god_n send_v he_o a_o punishment_n sit_v for_o he_o because_o he_o

therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v abace_v beneath_o all_o man_n and_o that_o the_o silthines_n of_o his_o body_n shall_v make_v he_o drop_n in_o piece_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v

â—â—â—_o that_o when_o we_o be_v in_o god_n keep_v he_o will_v maintain_v our_o life_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o the_o thing_n whereof_o we_o be_v most_o afraid_a shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o annoy_v

doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v namely_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o their_o enemy_n for_o god_n be_v among_o you_o say_v he_o yea_o even_o the_o strong_a and_o terrible_a god_n first_o he_o set_v down_o here_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o their_o enemy_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v the_o reason_n for_o god_n say_v he_o be_v among_o

to_o his_o creature_n resolve_v themselves_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v they_o if_o they_o have_v he_o on_o their_o side_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v here_o now_o it_o seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n that_o here_o be_v some_o contrariety_n for_o he_o have_v say_v afore_o god_n will_v destroy_v all_o the_o enemy_n who_o thou_o fear_v and_o here_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o be_v afraid_a how_o hang_v these_o two_o together_o whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o fear_n we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o when_o any_o danger_n be_v apparent_a and_o threaten_v we_o we_o feel_v the_o grief_n thereof_o and_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o now_o then_o in_o say_v that_o god_n will_v destroy_v all_o those_o who_o his_o people_n be_v afraid_a of_o moses_n mean_v that_o although_o the_o enemy_n be_v dreadful_a of_o themselves_o yet_o shall_v not_o god_n be_v hinder_v to_o destroy_v they_o and_o again_o we_o have_v to_o note_v also_o that_o god_n have_v always_o bear_v with_o the_o fainthartednesse_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o be_v

yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n bear_v still_o with_o that_o default_n and_o although_o the_o people_n be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v succour_v because_o of_o the_o fearfulness_n that_o proceed_v of_o the_o say_a infirmity_n yet_o do_v not_o god_n cease_v to_o hold_v they_o still_o by_o the_o hand_n nevertheless_o if_o god_n bear_v with_o we_o his_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o feed_v our_o vice_n or_o to_o foade_v we_o in_o it_o when_o we_o have_v not_o such_o stoutness_n and_o constancy_n as_o be_v requisite_a it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o for_o all_o that_o but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v yet_o be_v that_o fearfulness_n always_o worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v for_o let_v we_o see_v from_o what_o spring_n it_o issue_v if_o we_o have_v a_o

do_v and_o moses_n do_v god_n the_o honour_n to_o keep_v he_o to_o that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v now_o that_o he_o be_v assault_v with_o grievous_a temptation_n even_o as_o though_o it_o be_v

forasmuch_o as_o he_o think_v there_o be_v a_o remedy_n though_o god_n have_v say_v let_v i_o alone_o he_o fall_v to_o intreataunce_n again_o and_o that_o serve_v to_o show_v the_o heynousnesse_n of_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 down_o here_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v say_v lord_n thou_o have_v promise_v i_o that_o my_o son_n isaac_n shall_v beget_v a_o seed_n whereby_o salvation_n shall_v be_v send_v unto_o the_o world_n

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

â—or_a our_o neighbour_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v god_n threatening_n they_o must_v waken_v we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o come_v before_o he_o say_v alas_o lord_n here_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o wretched_a

the_o hear_n of_o his_o threat_n for_o he_o utter_v his_o judgement_n unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v prevent_v they_o for_o
when_o god_n give_v sentence_n upon_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v always_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o with_o out_o give_v of_o we_o some_o respite_n to_o remedy_v the_o mischief_n so_o we_o seek_v the_o remedy_n by_o such_o mean_n as_o he_o command_v in_o his_o word_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o put_v forth_o themselves_o to_o make_v prayer_n and_o supplication_n except_o they_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o be_v sure_a that_o it_o

let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o resort_v unto_o he_o as_o it_o be_v importunate_o for_o the_o importunatenesse_n whereof_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v 18.2_o luke_n 18.2_o in_o report_v the_o

in_o what_o sort_n the_o pureness_n of_o our_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v esteem_v to_o wit_n if_o they_o be_v water_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o their_o stain_n but_o in_o any_o wise_a he_o which_o endevour_v to_o serve_v god_n must_v examine_v himself_o and_o know_v his_o own_o filthynesse_n and_o uncleanness_n he_o must_v enforce_v himself_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o it_o for_o if_o we_o double_v with_o god_n he_o will_v dislike_v of_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n and_o although_o man_n be_v of_o

double_v our_o fault_n as_o be_v declare_v unto_o we_o by_o this_o text_n therefore_o if_o we_o bring_v unto_o god_n any_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o our_o protest_v that_o we_o will_v not_o offer_v unto_o he_o any_o unclean_a sacrifice_n be_v but_o a_o set_n of_o some_o fair_a colour_n on_o the_o matter_n our_o lord_n say_v still_o the_o price_n of_o the_o dog_n and_o the_o dog_n be_v all_o

hold_v themselves_o altogether_o unto_o his_o will_n without_o
when_o god_n publish_v and_o set_v forth_o his_o law_n he_o respect_v not_o what_o we_o can_v do_v or_o what_o our_o power_n or_o ability_n be_v but_o what_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o therefore_o when_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o father_n which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n

furthermore_o it_o be_v here_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o circumcision_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o malice_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o show_v also_o that_o god_n will_v do_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o regenerate_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o at_o this_o day_n in_o baptism_n when_o the_o water_n be_v pour_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o little_a child_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o signify_v that_o be_v come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o must_v serve_v god_n and_o

but_o his_o office_n be_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v it_o well_o that_o when_o the_o minister_n lay_v the_o water_n on_o the_o child_n

they_o that_o be_v appoint_v thereunto_o and_o those_o do_v represent_v the_o person_n of_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o testimony_n that_o man_n of_o themselves_o can_v not_o be_v circumcise_v

ravish_v that_o he_o have_v no_o care_n of_o himself_o now_o therefore_o when_o he_o hear_v that_o the_o people_n will_v fall_v away_o from_o god_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o his_o heart_n be_v

he_o do_v brief_o comprehend_v all_o that_o in_o a_o sum_n nevertheless_o he_o forbear_v not_o to_o say_v that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o the_o people_n and_o why_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o come_v not_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o doctrine_n but_o of_o y_z e_z malice_n of_o that_o people_n which_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o

towards_o us._n neverthelater_n if_o we_o despise_v so_o great_a a_o benefit_n or_o abuse_v it_o as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v or_o if_o we_o be_v skorner_n of_o god_n or_o loose_a liver_n or_o if_o

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

among_o the_o prophet_n 74.12_o psal._n 74.12_o some_o have_v surmise_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o bound_v it_o out_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v some_o geometrician_n that_o shall_v have_v buttele_v

there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o sweetness_n and_o abundance_n afterward_o he_o speak_v of_o fat_a sheep_n goat_n and_o lamb_n truth_n it_o be_v that_o in_o this_o place_n be_v use_v the_o word_n

and_o by_o give_v they_o fruitfulness_n that_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o maintain_v they_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o mean_v here_o to_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n by_o declare_v that_o he_o pass_v

and_o so_o we_o see_v it_o be_v no_o point_n of_o rashness_n for_o we_o to_o vow_v unto_o god_n in_o promise_v to_o serve_v he_o so_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o he_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o on_o his_o part_n moreover_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o god_n speak_v first_o and_o we_o do_v follow_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v begin_v and_o put_v forth_o himself_o to_o say_v i_o promise_v my_o god_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o all_o pureness_n of_o life_n it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o advaunce_n of_o himself_o and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o

we_o be_v able_a to_o yield_v he_o any_o but_o he_o will_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v his_o people_n for_o our_o own_o welfare_n and_o he_o have_v no_o respect_n but_o to_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o infinite_a mercy_n by_o reason_n whereof_o see_v we_o to_o be_v curse_v and_o forlese_a he_o accept_v we_o to_o the_o inheritance_n of_o salvation_n see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n use_v such_o love_a kindness_n towards_o we_o and_o pour_v forth_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o goodness_n upon_o we_o be_v not_o we_o too_o lewd_a if_o we_o come_v not_o to_o he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n moses_n add_v moreover_o that_o god_n do_v this_o for_o none_o other_o respect_n but_o because_o he_o have_v so_o promise_v afore_o and_o that_o he_o have_v erst_o swear_v it_o to_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n here_o in_o effect_n moses_n mean_v to_o take_v away_o and_o to_o abolish_v all_o manner_n of_o imagination_n which_o the_o jew_n may_v conceive_v of_o their_o own_o desert_n and_o worthiness_n for_o man_n be_v common_o give_v to_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n be_v much_o behold_v to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v the_o forehande_v of_o he_o and_o that_o they_o be_v already_o dispose_v and_o that_o he_o find_v in_o their_o person_n some_o thing_n to_o like_v of_o or_o to_o love_v they_o for_o forsomuch_o therefore_o as_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o deceive_v themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n by_o suppose_v that_o god_n have_v find_v they_o better_o than_o other_o when_o he_o choose_v they_o here_o moses_n cut_v off_o all_o temptation_n of_o satan_n and_o show_v that_o god_n do_v not_o choose_v the_o jew_n for_o that_o they_o have_v more_o virtue_n and_o nobleness_n or_o worthiness_n in_o they_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o his_o choose_n of_o they_o be_v altogether_o ground_v upon_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n because_o he_o have_v so_o promise_v and_o the_o same_o be_v common_a unto_o we_o all_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o if_o god_n do_v nowadays_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o than_o to_o a_o great_a many_o of_o other_o
