22.23_o exod._n 22.23_o and_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v on_o the_o contrary_a a_o poor_a man_n refresh_v will_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o you_o and_o god_n will_v hear_v he_o because_o he_o be_v

one_o of_o a_o duty_n in_o general_n consider_v as_o a_o duty_n univerfally_o as_o not_o to_o know_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o pray_v to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o deny_v

time_n with_o these_o circumstance_n be_v a_o duty_n and_o this_o be_v a_o deny_v of_o the_o assumption_n and_o each_o of_o they_o will_v hinder_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o conscience_n therefore_o one_o must_v do_v this_o now_o to_o make_v one_o self_n ignorant_a of_o a_o duty_n either_o of_o these_o way_n by_o seem_a reason_n and_o objection_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o the_o not_o do_v of_o a_o duty_n which_o we_o have_v make_v ourselves_o so_o ignorant_a of_o will_v make_v we_o subject_a to_o curse_n you_o see_v as_o well_o as_o if_o a_o man_n plain_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o without_o any_o such_o pretence_n for_o he_o that_o hide_v his_o eye_n shall_v have_v store_n of_o curse_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n call_v wink_v with_o one_o eye_n 13.15_o mat._n

themselves_o this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o refuse_v to_o know_v judgement_n that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n i_o shall_v prove_v to_o you_o by_o two_o reason_n reas_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a fruit_n of_o hypocrisy_n that_o be_v of_o that_o vice_n by_o which_o a_o man_n desire_v to_o seem_v good_a and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o for_o because_o he_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o offend_v he_o invent_v device_n and_o shift_n if_o the_o answer_n shall_v be_v downright_a i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n but_o i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o such_o a_o flat_a opposition_n to_o conscience_n will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v condemn_v of_o himself_o but_o because_o he_o will_v maintain_v in_o himself_o a_o opinion_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v good_a in_o truth_n and_o show_v it_o by_o do_v the_o thing_n command_v though_o his_o corruption_n stand_v never_o so_o averse_a to_o it_o therefore_o he_o seek_v about_o for_o reason_n to_o hide_v his_o eye_n to_o make_v he_o believe_v it_o be_v no_o duty_n that_o he_o may_v at_o once_o both_o serve_v sin_n and_o not_o be_v know_v to_o himself_o to_o serve_v it_o as_o do_v the_o proud_a man_n to_o who_o god_n send_v jeremie_n with_o a_o commandment_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o go_v down_o into_o egypt_n but_o tarry_v in_o the_o land_n 3_o jer._n 43.2_o 3_o they_o will_v not_o seem_v so_o rebellious_a as_o to_o say_v though_o god_n bid_v we_o tarry_v here_o yet_o we_o will_v not_o but_o they_o hide_v their_o eye_n by_o make_v themselves_o believe_v that_o jeremy_n be_v entice_v by_o baruch_n to_o prophesy_v this_o against_o they_o that_o he_o may_v deliver_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o babylonian_n open_v rebellion_n faith_n i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o though_o it_o

disprove_v it_o hence_o come_v this_o hide_v of_o the_o eye_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n reas_n 2_o this_o hide_v of_o the_o eye_n cause_v the_o lord_n at_o last_o to_o make_v man_n blind_a even_o to_o strike_v they_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o blindness_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o hood-winked_n &_o muffle_v as_o the_o light_a and_o bright_a truth_n that_o be_v shall_v never_o sink_v into_o their_o mind_n and_o so_o they_o will_v be_v harden_v in_o sin_n against_o all_o reproof_n and_o exhonation_n and_o admonition_n that_o nothing_o will_v work_v they_o to_o
