they_o will_v needs_o borrow_v the_o mean_n of_o idolater_n and_o we_o see_v in_o manner_n the_o like_a altogether_o nowadays_o in_o the_o popedom_n for_o the_o priest_n and_o monk_n boast_v

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

from_o horeb_n unto_o the_o place_n here_o before_o rehearse_v herein_o we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o god_n intend_v to_o rebuke_v the_o people_n for_o their_o not_o keep_v of_o the_o law_n which_o have_v not_o only_o be_v preach_v to_o they_o by_o mouth_n but_o also_o set_v down_o in_o writing_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v a_o instrument_n or_o conveyance_n of_o some_o bargain_n

according_a to_o all_o that_o god_n have_v command_v he_o now_o by_o this_o preface_n he_o show_v that_o he_o bring_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o ne_o mean_v to_o subdue_v the_o people_n to_o

as_o a_o faithful_a &_o trusty_a messenger_n without_o swerve_v aside_o either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a now_o if_o moses_n who_o have_v so_o excellent_a a_o record_n as_o we_o see_v 34.10_o deut._n 34.10_o insomuch_o that_o god_n never_o raise_v up_o any_o prophet_n equal_a or_o like_a unto_o he_o if_o moses_n y_fw-fr e_o prince_n of_o all_o prophet_n next_o unto_o

be_v shut_v out_o of_o door_n and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o pope_n have_v mar_v and_o corrupt_v the_o whole_a order_n of_o the_o church_n by_o his_o take_n upon_o he_o to_o be_v a_o

be_v yet_o more_o in_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o say_v that_o moses_n speak_v according_a to_o the_o charge_n that_o be_v give_v he_o but_o according_a to_o all_o that_o ever_o the_o lord_n

such_o wise_a as_o they_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v their_o own_o and_o why_o because_o it_o have_v be_v promise_v they_o of_o god_n behold_v say_v he_o thy_o god_n mean_v

which_o then_o live_v be_v bear_v thereby_o then_o be_v they_o put_v in_o mind_n that_o they_o have_v not_o deserve_v such_o a_o benefit_n at_o god_n hand_n but_o that_o it_o proceed_v whole_o of_o

moreover_o they_o that_o first_o carry_v the_o gospel_n abroad_o be_v dead_a long_o ago_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n truth_n be_v everlasting_a and_o that_o although_o

we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o forward_a to_o receive_v god_n truth_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o force_n and_o virtue_n thereof_o dure_v for_o ever_o now_o must_v we_o

where_o shall_v they_o seek_v for_o great_a certainty_n or_o when_o they_o have_v seek_v it_o where_o shall_v they_o find_v it_o but_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o too_o great_a wrong_n to_o our_o

that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o appoint_v they_o all_o his_o commandment_n hereby_o we_o see_v that_o when_o god_n show_v we_o this_o grace_n to_o gather_v we_o into_o his_o church_n he_o call_v we_o

but_o the_o unbeliever_n may_v well_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n for_o a_o time_n that_o their_o religion_n be_v good_a and_o the_o world_n see_v how_o wilful_a they_o be_v in_o that_o behalf_n but_o yet_o all_o be_v but_o stubbornness_n whatsoever_o they_o make_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o resolve_v and_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o we_o must_v not_o

why_o moses_n say_v express_o know_v thou_o that_o thy_o god_n be_v the_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v consider_v in_o what_o state_n the_o wretched_a heathen_a man_n and_o such_o as_o give_v

of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v commit_v unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o put_v such_o difference_n between_o the_o live_a god_n and_o all_o the_o idol_n which_o man_n have_v forge_v of_o their_o

the_o true_a majesty_n of_o the_o only_a god_n thus_o much_o concern_v this_o place_n moreover_o moses_n term_v god_n faithful_a to_o show_v that_o like_a as_o afore_o he_o attribute_v strength_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n that_o he_o use_v come_v thereof_o so_o must_v we_o also_o have_v his_o truth_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o in_o our_o rememberaunce_n to_o the_o end_n to_o

immediate_o with_o mercy_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v draw_v unto_o he_o and_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o cheerefull_a courage_n then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n

to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n we_o cry_v out_o daily_o to_o have_v justice_n execute_v but_o how_o do_v man_n discharge_v themselves_o thereof_o let_v their_o ear_n be_v never_o so_o much_o beat_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n they_o pass_v not_o much_o for_o it_o but_o they_o be_v the_o more_o forgetful_a from_o day_n to_o day_n therefore_o do_v moses_n put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o before_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v in_o any_o wise_a refrain_n from_o serve_v the_o idol_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o he_o add_v a_o

from_o that_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o when_o god_n punish_v y_o e_o wicked_a we_o must_v always_o learn_v at_o their_o cost_n to_o live_v in_o his_o fear_n for_o our_o condemn_v of_o other_o folk_n will_v not_o justify_v ourselves_o if_o we_o follow_v they_o or_o become_v like_o they_o but_o rather_o they_o shall_v be_v witness_n against_o we_o to_o bereave_v we_o of_o all_o excuse_n therefore_o let_v we_o think_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v add_v here_o that_o when_o god_n have_v command_v his_o people_n to_o destroy_v the_o idolater_n he_o add_v beware_v you_o meddle_v not_o which_o it_o

after_o they_o have_v offend_v for_o the_o heathen_a might_n yet_o have_v some_o excuse_n because_o they_o have_v not_o have_v any_o teach_n but_o the_o israelite_n sin_v wilful_o &_o their_o do_n

the_o sword_n into_o their_o hand_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o shall_v punish_v the_o misdoing_n of_o other_o see_v then_o you_o t_o god_n have_v so_o honour_v that_o people_n be_v it_o not_o

estimation_n by_o set_v a_o fair_a face_n and_o countenance_n upon_o the_o matter_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v in_o few_o word_n that_o god_n word_n ought_v to_o serve_v we_o to_o double_a

for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o our_o faith_n shall_v be_v try_v to_o weet_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o uprightness_n soundness_n and_o love_n before_o our_o god_n or_o whether_o there_o be_v

as_o the_o devil_n may_v never_o wipe_v it_o out_o of_o our_o rememberance_n do_v what_o he_o can_v and_o herewithal_o moses_n conclude_v that_o the_o law_n be_v deliver_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v the_o

adays_o if_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_v y_z t_z his_o gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v shepherd_n in_o his_o

but_o when_o we_o once_o know_v it_o to_o be_v god_n will_v that_o this_o order_n shall_v be_v in_o his_o church_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v keep_v unuiolable_o namely_o that_o there_o shall_v

that_o god_n deliver_v he_o his_o law_n for_o himself_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o god_n give_v it_o for_o all_o the_o people_n in_o general_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o why_o then_o be_v moses_n now_o the_o possessor_n of_o it_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o bereave_v all_o his_o people_n thereof_o and_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v privilege_v but_o moses_n so_o as_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v restrain_v unto_o he_o and_o the_o residewe_n be_v as_o it_o be_v shut_v out_o from_o it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o although_o the_o law_n be_v give_v for_o all_o the_o people_n yet_o be_v moses_n make_v the_o protector_n of_o it_o and_o look_v what_o god_n have_v speak_v of_o he_o we_o must_v extend_v it_o yet_o further_o according_o as_o we_o hear_v that_o the_o prophet_n be_v put_v in_o the_o same_o commission_n 2_o deut._n 31._o â—er_n 1.5.7_o &_o â—_o 2_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v disposer_n or_o dealer_n forth_o of_o the_o treasure_n of_o salvation_n and_o of_o god_n covenant_n so_o as_o their_o office_n be_v to_o show_v god_n will_v from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o word_n of_o it_o in_o his_o name_n and_o the_o general_a rule_n which_o saint_n paul_n give_v we_o 4.1_o â—_o cor._n 4.1_o be_v that_o man_n must_v esteem_v we_o as_o god_n minister_n &_o as_o dealer_n forth_o of_o the_o secret_n which_o he_o send_v to_o the_o world_n now_o whereas_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o be_v dealer_n forth_o of_o god_n secret_n he_o show_v we_o thereby_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o

in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n say_v in_o another_o place_n 3.15_o 2._o tim._n 3.15_o that_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o
