he_o although_o we_o see_v not_o before_o our_o eye_n the_o effect_n of_o that_o which_o he_o promise_v we_o but_o hold_v ourselves_o still_o in_o suspens_fw-la he_o say_v i_o have_v bring_v thou_o

o_o care_v thou_o not_o for_o that_o for_o i_o will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o thou_o well_o be_v it_o so_o but_o where_o be_v the_o demonstration_n of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v look_v for_o all_o this_o while_n for_o i_o be_o at_o death_n door_n and_o be_o here_o a_o stranger_n &_o have_v no_o seed_n as_o have_v be_v heretofore_o say_v and_o how_o shall_v i_o do_v then_o o_o lord_n well_o take_v my_o word_n for_o it_o this_o then_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n to_o have_v all_o our_o sense_n subject_a unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o believe_v his_o truth_n our_o ear_n also_o must_v be_v open_a and_o attentive_a to_o receive_v whatsoever_o he_o speak_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o say_v the_o word_n conclude_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o which_o way_n can_v that_o be_v o_o we_o be_v not_o to_o reason_v that_o neither_o be_v it_o in_o our_o disposition_n but_o we_o must_v leave_v it_o unto_o the_o counsel_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v this_o then_o be_v the_o honour_n winch_v we_o must_v do_v unto_o god_n even_o to_o believe_v his_o holy_a word_n more_o over_o we_o be_v still_o to_o observe_v that_o which_o have_v heretofore_o be_v speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n simple_o give_v the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n unto_o his_o servant_n abraham_n for_o a_o pawn_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v not_o muse_v to_o himself_o nor_o trouble_v his_o head_n about_o it_o for_o than_o have_v abraham_n have_v but_o a_o cold_a pull_n if_o he_o have_v have_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o land_n but_o without_o doubt_n he_o be_v lead_v by_o another_o spirit_n which_o be_v he_o see_v the_o very_a day_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n as_o in_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o john_n it_o be_v write_v and_o beside_o he_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v but_o a_o pylgrime_n here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o look_v for_o his_o inheritance_n elsewhere_o and_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o land_n be_v give_v he_o for_o to_o inherit_v that_o be_v not_o the_o mark_n which_o he_o shoot_v at_o his_o mind_n be_v not_o set_v thereon_o but_o have_v a_o further_a reach_n for_o by_o reason_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o forsake_v his_o native_a country_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o live_v in_o a_o strange_a and_o a_o unknowen_a place_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o his_o mind_n be_v altogether_o occupy_v about_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n so_o then_o we_o be_v here_o to_o note_v that_o although_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n be_v here_o call_v his_o inheritance_n as_o also_o god_n house_n and_o rest_a place_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o as_o a_o pawn_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o but_o as_o a_o earnest_a penny_n for_o a_o pawn_n import_v as_o much_o at_o the_o least_o as_o the_o full_a worth_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o be_v assure_v of_o but_o a_o earnest_a penny_n be_v as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v nothing_o and_o to_o give_v a_o penny_n as_o we_o call_v it_o unto_o god_n for_o a_o bargain_n worth_a a_o hundred_o thousand_o crown_n and_o more_o be_v nothing_o for_o of_o what_o worth_n be_v that_o piece_n which_o we_o give_v forsooth_o of_o no_o value_n now_o can_v a_o potte●●_n or_o galen_v of_o wine_n be_v worth_a a_o great_a possession_n or_o land_n that_o be_v able_a to_o enrich_v three_o or_o foureman_n and_o yet_o be_v as_o be_v may_v this_o earnest_a penny_n be_v destine_v unto_o such_o a_o use_n and_o therefore_o this_o land_n of_o chanaan_n be_v the_o inheritance_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o of_o as_o many_o as_o have_v descend_v of_o his_o line_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o earnest_a penny_n for_o heaven_n insomuch_o that_o the_o very_a faithful_a look_v not_o so_o much_o unto_o that_o neither_o yet_o set_v so_o their_o mind_n on_o it_o but_o settle_v their_o cogitation_n &_o thought_n a_o great_a deal_n high_o we_o see_v then_o whether_o god_n mean_v to_o call_v abram_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o do_v he_o no_o wrong_n in_o leave_v he_o to_o languish_v because_o he_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o promise_n shall_v be_v perform_v &_o therefore_o not_o to_o stand_v upon_o his_o own_o wit_n and_o why_o so_o because_o he_o be_v to_o look_v unto_o he_o that_o speak_v the_o word_n who_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a god_n now_o by_o reason_n that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v so_o changeable_a as_o that_o our_o mind_n alter_v every_o minute_n we_o therefore_o grieve_v and_o vex_v when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n perform_v not_o that_o at_o the_o very_a first_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v us._n and_o because_o we_o see_v our_o life_n to_o be_v so_o short_a and_o the_o time_n we_o have_v to_o live_v to_o be_v but_o as_o a_o shadow_n which_o fleet_v sudden_o away_o we_o think_v that_o god_n will_v never_o come_v time_n enough_o wherefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o correct_v this_o fault_n by_o these_o word_n that_o we_o hear_v here_o to_o be_v speak_v to_o abram_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n which_o change_v not_o and_o beside_o we_o hear_v what_o be_v say_v in_o other_o place_n 4.8_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n psal_n 90.4_o 2._o pet._n 4.8_o that_o a_o thousand_o year_n be_v but_o as_o one_o day_n with_o he_o and_o saint_n peter_n also_o say_v that_o in_o the_o last_o day_n there_o shall_v come_v mocker_n who_o shall_v say_v where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n as_o though_o the_o threaten_n &_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v of_o none_o effect_n no_o no_o say_v he_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o he_o will_v accomplish_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v speak_v though_o it_o be_v late_o for_o a_o thousand_o year_n with_o he_o be_v as_o but_o one_o day_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v look_v a_o great_a deal_n high_o and_o know_v that_o since_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o have_v say_v it_o and_o never_o change_v that_o he_o will_v do_v that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v but_o not_o whenas_o it_o please_v we_o but_o whenas_o he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v best_a first_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o next_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o good_a neither_o must_v we_o be_v over_o earnest_n nor_o yet_o over_o remise_n and_o slack_v but_o go_v out_o of_o ourselves_o &_o come_v unto_o he_o in_o who_o be_v no_o inconstancy_n nor_o show_n of_o change_n for_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o let_v we_o learn_v thus_o much_o that_o when_o he_o have_v once_o speak_v the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v enough_o because_o his_o word_n be_v a_o infallible_a truth_n furthermore_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v his_o goodness_n in_o support_v and_o bear_v with_o our_o weakness_n herein_o because_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o once_o but_o put_v we_o still_o in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o promise_n meaning_n thereby_o to_o have_v we_o profit_n and_o be_v confirm_v by_o they_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o not_o believe_v he_o only_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o but_o for_o ever_o and_o let_v we_o be_v guide_v and_o govern_v by_o his_o power_n not_o only_o all_o our_o life_n long_o but_o even_o in_o death_n also_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o his_o kingdom_n where_o we_o shall_v never_o need_v to_o be_v more_o speak_v unto_o neither_o have_v need_n either_o of_o faith_n or_o yet_o any_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n for_o then_o shall_v we_o enjoy_v the_o full_a brightness_n of_o that_o which_o we_o do_v now_o but_o see_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o see_v he_o face_n to_o face_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o glass_n let_v we_o now_o prostrate_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n and_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n beseech_v he_o to_o cause_v we_o so_o to_o feel_v they_o as_o that_o they_o may_v humble_v we_o before_o he_o and_o make_v we_o continual_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o our_o iniquity_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v free_v we_o from_o this_o bondage_n of_o sin_n wherein_o we_o be_v and_o have_v a_o singular_a desire_n to_o conform_v ourselves_o unto_o his_o holy_a will_n and_o not_o live_v unto_o ourselves_o but_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v so_o dear_o redeem_v we_o give_v himself_o

that_o they_o possess_v the_o same_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o what_o soever_o they_o have_v they_o must_v hold_v as_o of_o he_o &_o show_v the_o same_o also_o in_o deed_n &_o in_o effect_n to_o be_v so_o and_o therewithal_o also_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v oblation_n bestow_v upon_o the_o poor_a of_o those_o tithe_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o the_o priest_n shall_v eat_v and_o drink_v up_o all_o but_o keep_v themselves_o within_o compass_n thereby_o to_o show_v that_o they_o be_v not_o exempt_a from_o the_o general_a law_n but_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n for_o the_o food_n which_o they_o do_v eat_v and_o that_o all_o come_v from_o his_o pure_a &_o mere_a goodness_n we_o see_v then_o how_o that_o the_o tithe_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n be_v especial_o for_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o tithe_n be_v very_o common_a among_o the_o heathen_a even_o for_o king_n prince_n and_o noble_a man_n we_o see_v likewise_o by_o profane_a history_n that_o they_o be_v also_o exact_v and_o that_o in_o some_o country_n they_o exact_v more_o than_o in_o other_o some_o according_a to_o the_o fertility_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o soil_n for_o it_o be_v ●ot_n so_o great_a a_o charge_n to_o the_o husbandman_n ●hat_n have_v fat_a soil_n and_o plentiful_a bear_v ground_n to_o pay_v the_o eight_o part_n as_o it_o be_v to_o ●hose_v that_o have_v but_o lean_a and_o barren_a ground_n to_o pay_v the_o ten_o part_n but_o be_v as_o be_v may_v this_o word_n tithe_n or_o ten_o have_v be_v a_o common_a and_o ordinary_a among_o all_o nation_n and_o all_o prince_n and_o great_a man_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v since_o the_o gospel_n be_v receive_v have_v bestow_v part_n of_o the_o tithe_n towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n as_o be_v very_o great_a reason_n according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o they_o which_o minister_v at_o the_o altar_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v maintain_v that_o they_o which_o at_o this_o day_n sacrifice_n unto_o god_n after_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n that_o be_v which_o win_v soul_n unto_o he_o to_o make_v of_o they_o sacrifice_n unto_o his_o majesty_n that_o they_o shall_v also_o be_v as_o well_o provide_v for_o and_o maintain_v and_o although_o god_n have_v not_o qualify_v how_o nor_o by_o what_o manner_n of_o revenue_n they_o shall_v be_v maintain_v yet_o be_v there_o a_o law_n for_o it_o now_o then_o since_o god_n have_v be_v know_v through_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o christian_a order_n and_o law_n have_v be_v make_v for_o the_o give_v and_o bestow_v of_o one_o part_n of_o tithe_n and_o herein_o we_o may_v see_v the_o deceit_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o of_o his_o shaveling_n for_o when_o they_o handle_v the_o law_n of_o tithe_n in_o their_o canon_n they_o take_v it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v transfer_v to_o they_o after_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v put_v a_o end_n unto_o the_o priesthood_n of_o levy_n all_o these_o be_v very_a leasing_n falsefy_v the_o holy_a scripture_n &_o wicked_o corrupt_v the_o same_o for_o we_o see_v to_o the_o contrary_a as_o have_v be_v before_o show_v that_o it_o be_v long_o ago_o sithence_o that_o it_o be_v not_o know_v what_o the_o pay_v of_o tithe_n be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o they_o be_v always_o pay_v either_o to_o the_o emperor_n or_o to_o some_o other_o particular_a great_a man_n but_o now_o since_o the_o thing_n have_v be_v so_o ordain_v so_o therein_o be_v no_o abuse_n and_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v contrary_a to_o all_o truth_n that_o it_o come_v from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o politic_a law_n let_v we_o hold_v that_o rule_n which_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o 9.9.10.11.12.13_o 1._o cor._n 9.9.10.11.12.13_o to_o wit_n that_o we_o mussel_n not_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o ox_n when_o he_o travel_v to_o feed_v we_o and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v with_o a_o far_o great_a reason_n that_o they_o which_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n ordain_v in_o so_o excellent_a a_o estate_n shall_v not_o be_v abridge_v and_o deprive_v of_o their_o maintenance_n but_o be_v very_o well_o wage_v now_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v when_o tithe_n and_o such_o like_a be_v bestow_v unto_o a_o good_a use_n we_o must_v not_o so_o straight_o look_v into_o the_o matter_n as_o to_o ask_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v so_o as_o many_o fantastical_a fellow_n will_v who_o at_o this_o day_n can_v be_v content_v to_o turn_v the_o whole_a world_n upside_o down_o say_v o_o it_o be_v no_o time_n now_o to_o pay_v tithe_n for_o see_v the_o thing_n have_v be_v so_o long_o abuse_v it_o be_v no_o reason_n it_o shall_v any_o long_o continue_v then_o must_v we_o by_o their_o say_n scrape_v out_o all_o for_o they_o think_v that_o christianity_n consist_v in_o change_v the_o colour_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v amend_v as_o i_o have_v say_v as_o if_o the_o papist_n have_v bring_v in_o any_o false_a opinion_n let_v that_o be_v utter_o abolish_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o hold_v we_o unto_o all_o good_a ordnance_n to_o wit_n let_v the_o tithe_n and_o all_o such_o thing_n that_o be_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o minister_n let_v

drunkenness_n and_o other_o dissolutenes_n but_o let_v they_o know_v that_o these_o be_v holy_a good_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v reserve_v for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o church_n as_o well_o for_o the_o

shall_v touch_v by_o the_o way_n the_o law_n concern_v tithe_n and_o let_v we_o now_o go_v on_o with_o that_o which_o follow_v moses_n now_o return_v to_o the_o king_n of_o sodom_n of_o who_o he_o
