we_o will_v take_v in_o a_o more_o full_a narration_n of_o it_o and_o israel_n abode_n in_o shittim_n and_o the_o people_n begin_v to_o commit_v whoredom_n with_o the_o daughter_n of_o moab_n and_o

of_o god_n that_o bear_v man_n to_o this_o or_o that_o evil_a action_n be_v to_o blaspheme_v the_o sacred_a name_n of_o god_n and_o contradict_v reason_n and_o scripture_n or_o which_o seem_v more_o

they_o be_v strong_a than_o he_o be_v to_o cast_v god_n out_o of_o his_o throne_n and_o to_o place_n satan_n in_o his_o stead_n sure_o god_n who_o hate_v sin_n with_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n will_v not_o let_v the_o devil_n prevail_v against_o that_o will_n in_o we_o that_o be_v conformable_a to_o he_o if_o we_o be_v against_o sin_n god_n will_v aid_v we_o if_o we_o fall_v into_o wickedness_n it_o be_v long_o of_o ourselves_o yea_o though_o the_o great_a of_o wickedness_n for_o they_o join_v themselves_o to_o baal-peor_n etc._n etc._n not_o force_v or_o necessitate_v by_o the_o devil_n against_o a_o good_a will_n and_o sincere_a aversation_n of_o sin_n for_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o he_o will_v help_v his_o own_o will_n nor_o lead_v on_o by_o god_n for_o god_n will_v not_o beget_v to_o life_n that_o which_o he_o hate_v to_o see_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v god_n who_o be_v the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o freedom_n will_v have_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o out_o of_o a_o free_a principle_n and_o so_o neither_o constrain_v we_o to_o good_a nor_o over-sways_a we_o to_o evil_a second_o they_o join_v themselves_o also_o to_o baal-peor_n the_o calf_n in_o horeb_n their_o envy_v and_o murmur_v against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n their_o lust_a after_o the_o fleshpot_n of_o egypt_n all_o these_o do_v not_o satisfy_v but_o as_o if_o these_o be_v a_o light_a matter_n they_o add_v whoredom_n and_o idolatry_n in_o this_o business_n of_o baal-peor_n hence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o a_o man_n heart_n know_v no_o bound_n but_o his_o evil_a desire_n be_v enlarge_v like_o hell_n three_o if_o we_o compare_v the_o greatness_n of_o this_o transgression_n with_o the_o great_a experience_n they_o have_v of_o the_o power_n and_o love_n of_o
