but_o yet_o be_v we_o bind_v unto_o it_o and_o there_o will_v be_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o our_o endeavour_n therefore_o let_v every_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o himself_o and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o have_v serve_v god_n so_o long_o as_o we_o ourselves_o live_v but_o that_o we_o must_v also_o findy_a y_o e_o mean_n that_o his_o name_n may_v continue_v

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o place_n where_o moses_n say_v if_o thy_o child_n ask_v hereafter_o what_o these_o commandment_n statute_n and_o ordinance_n mean_v now_o there_o be_v also_o a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o moses_n intend_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o obey_v he_o because_o they_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o his_o mighty_a hand_n therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v bethink_v yourselves_o well_o of_o the_o good_a which_o your_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v your_o redeemer_n he_o have_v smite_v the_o realm_n of_o egypt_n a_o people_n that_o do_v set_v great_o by_o themselves_o yea_o and_o which_o be_v rich_a and_o wealthy_a and_o where_o be_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o pomp_n and_o glory_n to_o the_o worldward_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o your_o god_n have_v love_v you_o so_o dear_o that_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v the_o egyptian_n for_o your_o sake_n but_o he_o have_v smite_v they_o with_o plague_n and_o pour_v out_o such_o vengeance_n upon_o they_o as_o be_v horrible_a to_o think_v of_o he_o have_v stretch_v out_o his_o strong_a arm_n to_o bring_v you_o to_o this_o land_n which_o he_o promise_v to_o your_o father_n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o so_o gracious_a and_o liberal_a towards_o you_o and_o prevent_v you_o of_o purpose_n to_o be_v your_o father_n be_v it_o not_o reason_n that_o you_o shall_v give_v yourselves_o to_o he_o all_o your_o life_n long_o and_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o at_o leastwise_o show_v that_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o so_o great_a and_o inestimable_a benefit_n yes_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v negligent_a in_o keep_v god_n law_n moses_n renew_v the_o rememberaunce_n thereof_o and_o set_v their_o deliverance_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a mind_a and_o consider_v that_o they_o

that_o the_o jew_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o egypt_n he_o mean_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o shoule_fw-mi they_o out_o from_o all_o other_o nation_n special_o by_o assign_v

the_o father_n shall_v help_v their_o child_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o father_n ought_v not_o to_o â—ary_a for_o that_o but_o if_o they_o see_v their_o child_n to_o be_v despiser_n of_o god_n

to_o be_v disappoint_v but_o will_v find_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v whatsoever_o he_o think_v profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o appoint_v not_o mortal_a

of_o god_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n may_v seem_v harsh_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n but_o yet_o it_o import_v good_a doctrine_n we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v always_o desirous_a to_o excuse_v

when_o they_o see_v the_o people_n so_o excessive_o set_v upon_o mischief_n and_o exhort_v they_o to_o obey_v god_n let_v we_o note_v well_o that_o although_o thing_n be_v out_o of_o order_n in_o

145.19_o psal._n 145.19_o have_v not_o thy_o god_n promise_v that_o he_o will_v pity_v such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o yes_o in_o deed_n but_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o i_o be_v of_o that_o sort_n

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

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

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

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 we_o can_v never_o be_v lead_v away_o unto_o wickedness_n whatsoever_o betide_v also_o we_o hear_v what_o saint_n paul_n say_v when_o he_o arm_v we_o against_o all_o spiritual_a battle_n that_o

when_o we_o have_v once_o understand_v you_o e_o thing_n y_o it_o have_v be_v tell_v we_o and_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n let_v we_o not_o imagine_v ourselves_o to_o have_v a_o perfect_a

and_o that_o the_o city_n which_o be_v find_v to_o be_v near_o to_o the_o dead_a body_n shall_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n to_o make_v a_o solemn_a sacrifice_n whereat_o he_o will_v have_v the_o elder_n

all_o reverence_n heerewithall_o it_o be_v show_v we_o also_o that_o we_o must_v maintain_v our_o neighbour_n as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v and_o abstain_v from_o all_o violence_n for_o if_o

if_o we_o spare_v not_o our_o neighbour_n be_v it_o not_o a_o set_n of_o ourselves_o utter_o against_o god_n here_o then_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v we_o from_o all_o violence_n and_o

of_o the_o land_n and_o moses_n speak_v it_o not_o at_o aladuenture_n 30._o deut._n 30._o but_o to_o ratify_v that_o which_o we_o have_v see_v more_o at_o large_a here_o before_o namely_o that_o god_n

of_o god_n promise_n for_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o give_v no_o credit_n to_o that_o which_o god_n speak_v when_o we_o continue_v like_o reed_n shake_v with_o every_o wind_n and_o tremble_v

we_o show_v our_o weakness_n and_o we_o give_v good_a proof_n that_o we_o believe_v not_o that_o which_o god_n have_v speak_v we_o may_v well_o allege_v and_o say_v as_o for_o myself_o i_o hold_v

bear_v until_o he_o make_v all_o the_o back_n of_o they_o to_o bow_v in_o which_o say_v roboam_n vaunt_v of_o his_o father_n tyranny_n and_o we_o may_v well_o gather_v thereby_o that_o there_o be_v some_o excess_n in_o solomon_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o god_n have_v not_o for_o nought_o forbid_v king_n to_o gather_v great_a mass_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o do_v david_n use_v the_o prayer_n which_o i_o have_v rehearse_v before_o for_o there_o be_v good_a cause_n for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o he_o see_v the_o

respect_n he_o protest_v that_o god_n law_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o than_o gold_n and_o silver_n 19.11_o psal._n 19.11_o and_o that_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n be_v nothing_o to_o he_o in_o comparison_n of_o god_n law_n because_o he_o see_v there_o his_o true_a felicity_n and_o glory_n so_o then_o let_v we_o remember_v in_o few_o word_n that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n forbid_v king_n to_o hoard_v up_o great_a treasure_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o be_v scotfree_a so_o their_o heart_n inclyne_v not_o to_o pride_n vaynglorie_n and_o
