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 be_v bind_v at_o leastwise_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o they_o may_v acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o same_o people_n who_o he_o have_v once_o deliver_v after_o a_o marvelous_a fashion_n and_o with_o wonderful_a power_n like_o as_o at_o this_o day_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v speak_v to_o we_o of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o say_v behold_v our_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o the_o redemption_n which_o he_o wrought_v in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v gather_v here_o together_o under_o his_o word_n to_o take_v he_o for_o our_o father_n and_o savour_n because_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o to_o be_v his_o people_n and_o whereas_o moses_n declare_v 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 they_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o land_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o their_o father_n you_o see_v then_o how_o they_o shall_v have_v sanctify_v themselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o have_v hold_v themselves_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n because_o he_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v intermingle_v with_o y_z e_z infidel_n but_o make_v a_o several_a nation_n of_o they_o alone_o by_o themselves_o and_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o note_v y_z t_z such_o as_o seek_v counsel_n at_o god_n law_n do_v always_o find_v instruction_n &_o our_o lord_n procure_v they_o aid_v &_o help_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n it_o be_v say_v if_o thy_o son_n ask_v thou_o what_o mean_v these_o statute_n he_o presuppose_v that_o the_o child_n be_v not_o so_o brutish_a as_o at_o leastwise_o not_o to_o be_v willing_a &_o desirous_a to_o know_v why_o they_o use_v such_o manner_n of_o serve_v god_n and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v god_n ordinance_n that_o 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 or_o unruly_a and_o careless_a both_o of_o the_o salvation_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o of_o all_o christianity_n and_o faith_n they_o ought_v to_o correct_v such_o vice_n but_o the_o matter_n which_o we_o treat_v of_o as_o now_o be_v that_o if_o child_n be_v willing_a to_o learn_v and_o to_o profit_v god_n here_o assign_v they_o their_o father_n to_o be_v their_o teacher_n and_o schoolmaster_n to_o show_v they_o why_o the_o law_n be_v give_v herein_o than_o we_o see_v that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o good_a will_n to_o know_v the_o truth_n our_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o 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 creature_n to_o teach_v we_o yet_o will_v he_o work_v in_o such_o wise_a by_o his_o own_o power_n as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v destitute_a of_o knowledge_n but_o our_o own_o slothfulness_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n shut_v the_o gate_n against_o we_o and_o that_o we_o abide_v still_o in_o darkness_n like_o blind_a wretch_n for_o what_o be_v he_o that_o vouchsafe_v to_o seek_v after_o the_o

and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n god_n be_v let_v alone_o and_o his_o law_n be_v forget_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o he_o harden_v we_o in_o such_o brutishnes_n and_o that_o there_o be_v so_o gross_a ignorance_n in_o the_o world_n as_o few_o folk_n have_v the_o true_a taste_n and_o savour_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n but_o rather_o we_o see_v that_o all_o man_n despise_v it_o and_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o have_v any_o affection_n and_o zeal_n to_o the_o know_v of_o it_o that_o they_o do_v rather_o thrust_v it_o from_o they_o when_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o and_o when_o god_n seek_v they_o they_o run_v from_o he_o sith_o we_o see_v such_o unthankfulness_n everywhere_o it_o be_v any_o marvel_n that_o our_o lord_n reveal_v not_o his_o truth_n as_o he_o will_v do_v if_o man_n be_v well_o mind_v towards_o it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n tarry_v not_o till_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o rather_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o say_v by_o his_o prophet_n esay_n 65.1_o esa._n 65.1_o namely_o that_o he_o appear_v to_o they_o that_o ask_v not_o after_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v find_v of_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o not_o insomuch_o that_o he_o say_v to_o they_o that_o be_v far_o off_o from_o he_o lo_o here_o i_o be_o yet_o notwithstanding_o man_n must_v not_o under_o this_o colour_n that_o god_n reach_v they_o his_o hand_n and_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o the_o dungeon_n of_o ignorance_n before_o they_o ever_o think_v upon_o he_o man_n i_o say_v must_v not_o flatter_v and_o food_n themselves_o in_o their_o

if_o we_o seek_v y_z e_o light_n for_o he_o will_v not_o shut_v y_z e_o door_n against_o we_o if_o we_o knock_v 11.9.10_o matt._n 7.7_o &_o luâ—_n 11.9.10_o &_o do_v our_o indever_n to_o enter_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o y_o e_o text_n furthermore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o here_o god_n show_v not_o the_o end_n of_o his_o commandment_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o they_o and_o to_o what_o use_v he_o have_v appoint_v they_o he_o do_v not_o only_o show_v that_o the_o people_n be_v just_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n that_o be_v give_v they_o see_v that_o god_n have_v buy_v they_o so_o dear_o here_o be_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o word_n he_o do_v well_o deserve_v 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 fight_v under_o his_o standard_n and_o have_v make_v we_o to_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n and_o of_o his_o church_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v to_o what_o end_n he_o have_v give_v we_o his_o sacrament_n so_o as_o we_o have_v the_o precept_n of_o his_o whole_a law_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o exercise_v of_o we_o in_o his_o fear_n and_o in_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 image_n and_o give_v we_o wit_n and_o reason_n and_o therewithal_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o better_a life_n and_o final_o have_v voutsafe_v to_o take_v we_o as_o his_o household_n folk_n it_o show_v we_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 the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n 11.9.10_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o and_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o gospel_n 11.9.10_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v guide_v by_o his_o hand_n now_o then_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v knowledge_n it_o must_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o serve_v god_n &_o to_o stick_v to_o the_o pure_a religion_n 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 god_n be_v content_v to_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n for_o he_o can_v love_v we_o except_o we_o be_v righteous_a and_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o

now_o you_o see_v whereunto_o the_o promise_n tend_v again_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v of_o we_o why_o he_o have_v appoint_v the_o order_n of_o prayer_n as_o well_o public_a as_o private_a it_o be_v for_o that_o every_o of_o we_o ought_v to_o inure_v himself_o to_o seek_v all_o his_o succour_n at_o his_o hand_n for_o we_o have_v not_o any_o good_a thing_n we_o be_v destitute_a both_o of_o

unto_o he_o ere_o we_o can_v endeavour_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o righteousness_n but_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v touch_v before_o

will_v have_v so_o solemn_a a_o redress_n to_o be_v make_v of_o a_o murder_n commit_v yea_o even_o when_o the_o doer_n thereof_o be_v not_o know_v nor_o the_o truth_n can_v be_v find_v out_o if_o a_o

where_o the_o deed_n be_v do_v or_o which_o be_v near_a to_o the_o place_n where_o the_o deed_n be_v do_v shall_v be_v examine_v for_o it_o for_o we_o know_v that_o a_o partition_n of_o the_o town_n

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

purgation_n whensoever_o there_o befall_v any_o blot_n so_o as_o the_o people_n be_v defile_v before_o god_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o priest_n to_o make_v they_o clean_o again_o towards_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o order_n be_v require_v in_o this_o case_n and_o therefore_o moses_n add_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v they_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o bless_v in_o his_o name_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v to_o they_o to_o judge_v of_o leprosy_n and_o all_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o of_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o uncleanness_n wherewith_o the_o people_n may_v be_v defile_v in_o attribute_v this_o office_n unto_o they_o he_o declare_v to_o what_o purpose_n their_o presence_n ought_v to_o serve_v in_o this_o act_n also_o there_o be_v prayer_n to_o be_v make_v and_o the_o priest_n be_v enjoin_v thereunto_o and_o because_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o they_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n they_o bless_v in_o god_n name_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o and_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v somewhat_o more_o hereafter_o as_o i_o pass_v over_o it_o and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n appoint_v they_o to_o make_v the_o solemn_a prayer_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o now_o we_o see_v whereto_o this_o law_n tend_v namely_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v show_v how_o precious_a man_n life_n be_v unto_o he_o that_o we_o on_o our_o part_n may_v be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o take_v he_o for_o our_o father_n for_o what_o a_o unthankfulness_n be_v it_o that_o god_n shall_v have_v so_o great_a and_o so_o fatherly_a a_o care_n of_o we_o of_o we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v but_o caryon_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v honour_v of_o we_o as_o of_o his_o child_n nor_o find_v any_o obedience_n at_o

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 murder_n be_v so_o hateful_a to_o god_n that_o although_o the_o doer_n thereof_o be_v unknowen_a yet_o it_o behove_v a_o solemn_a clear_n thereof_o to_o be_v make_v what_o will_v become_v of_o we_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

heretofore_o that_o whereas_o murder_n be_v forbid_v we_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v thereby_o that_o we_o shall_v but_o only_o forbear_v the_o draw_v of_o our_o sword_n to_o slay_v man_n but_o also_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o they_o which_o hate_v their_o brethren_n even_o in_o secret_a be_v murderer_n we_o shall_v beware_v to_o have_v our_o heart_n as_o clean_o as_o our_o hand_n and_o abstain_v from_o all_o hatred_n and_o enmity_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o the_o second_o place_n of_o this_o law_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o not_o to_o have_v step_v out_o into_o any_o injury_n or_o violence_n but_o we_o must_v also_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n be_v a_o let_v to_o the_o annoyance_n that_o be_v do_v to_o other_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o be_v peaceable_a but_o god_n require_v yet_o more_o of_o his_o child_n namely_o that_o they_o shall_v procure_v peace_n towards_o other_o therefore_o whensoever_o any_o man_n fall_v to_o quareling_n or_o offer_v wrong_v to_o his_o neighbour_n let_v we_o look_v that_o we_o set_v ourselves_o against_o he_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v i_o know_v that_o every_o man_n be_v not_o arm_v with_o the_o sword_n neither_o may_v every_o of_o we_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o redress_v wrong_n but_o yet_o let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o that_o which_o god_n permit_v so_o far_o as_o our_o duty_n will_v bear_v and_o as_o occasion_n be_v minister_v to_o deal_v and_o therein_o we_o shall_v

that_o we_o help_v to_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n that_o be_v the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o judge_n and_o

if_o one_o strike_v another_o man_n well_o he_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o it_o but_o if_o he_o beat_v his_o father_n or_o his_o mother_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v kill_v a_o man_n else_o there_o be_v no_o order_n or_o reason_n in_o nature_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ground_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o nature_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o a_o man_n will_v confound_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o when_o he_o set_v himself_o so_o against_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o hold_v

we_o will_v now_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n which_o be_v that_o if_o the_o disobedience_n which_o be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n of_o this_o world_n be_v so_o grievous_o punish_v by_o god_n law_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o man_n when_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n true_a it_o be_v that_o here_o god_n speak_v of_o the_o correction_n which_o proceed_v from_o himself_o for_o when_o a_o man_n nurture_v his_o child_n he_o be_v god_n minister_n in_o that_o behalf_n and_o his_o voice_n be_v not_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n but_o of_o

to_o wit_n that_o the_o more_o we_o know_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o eschew_v the_o same_o and_o even_o so_o it_o be_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v

that_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o let_v we_o therefore_o understande_v that_o when_o god_n have_v once_o make_v we_o to_o perceive_v the_o filthynesse_n and_o abomination_n which_o be_v

although_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v cut_v of_o from_o his_o house_n &_o to_o be_v bereave_v of_o his_o truth_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v give_v we_o up_o into_o satan_n hand_n to_o be_v blind_v

spiritual_a lineage_n hereby_o than_o we_o see_v that_o this_o doctrine_n not_o only_o serve_v till_o the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o also_o serve_v still_o to_o our_o behoof_n and_o

shall_v hold_v we_o in_o awe_n and_o enjoy_v we_o &_o that_o like_a as_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o give_v himself_o unto_o we_o so_o we_o on_o our_o side_n shall_v be_v whole_o he_o to_o yield_v

that_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o bookeâ—_n and_o that_o see_v god_n call_v upon_o we_o so-earnest_o we_o shall_v not_o stop_v our_o ear_n against_o he_o but_o every_o man_n awake_v and_o one_o of_o

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

wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v that_o first_o of_o all_o every_o of_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o

where_o he_o desire_v express_o to_o see_v the_o good_a mountain_n and_o the_o libanus_n for_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o jerusalem_n &_o the_o country_n about_o it_o be_v neither_o the_o

to_o have_v a_o representation_n of_o god_n &_o that_o his_o power_n shall_v nevertheless_o be_v infinite_a still_o but_o now_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o god_n be_v not_o content_v with_o such_o

be_o thy_o everlasting_a god_n yea_o even_o the_o strong_a or_o rather_o mighty_a god_n here_o again_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o idol_n for_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o to_o correct_v

and_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o god_n have_v speak_v after_o our_o manner_n yet_o let_v we_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n to_o imprison_v all_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o to_o say_v lord_n we_o be_v thy_o scholar_n and_o therefore_o we_o receive_v quiet_o whatsoever_o thou_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o teach_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o same_o be_v for_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n therefore_o whatso_n ever_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n let_v it_o be_v receive_v reverent_o without_o exception_n and_o when_o god_n holy_a mystery_n come_v in_o question_n let_v we_o not_o judge_v of_o they_o according_a to_o our_o own_o understanding_n but_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o any_o thing_n seem_v not_o good_a and_o convenient_a unto_o we_o let_v we_o bridle_v ourselves_o and_o let_v god_n have_v his_o full_a scope_n so_o as_o his_o word_n may_v have_v all_o the_o liberty_n that_o may_v be_v also_o therewithal_o when_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o come_v to_o a_o sermon_n let_v we_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n to_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o behold_v our_o god_n show_v himself_o here_o and_o he_o be_v set_v down_o as_o our_o judge_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o kick_v and_o spurn_v against_o he_o as_o we_o see_v a_o great_a sort_n do_v when_o they_o come_v to_o sermon_n but_o what_o they_o have_v conceive_v rancour_n in_o their_o heart_n against_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v reap_v nothing_o by_o it_o but_o utter_a naughtiness_n in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o gather_v venom_n more_o and_o more_o to_o belch_v out_o their_o blasphemy_n at_o table_n when_o man_n speak_v not_o to_o their_o like_n and_o be_v that_o think_v you_o a_o good_a honour_v of_o god_n name_n now_o therefore_o whether_o it_o be_v that_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o that_o it_o be_v treat_v of_o in_o sermon_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v god_n name_n always_o in_o such_o

to_o do_v and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o speak_v so_o brief_o moreover_o he_o have_v as_o you_o will_v say_v chaw_v the_o thing_n to_o we_o that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o submit_v

we_o have_v to_o remember_v here_o furthermore_o see_v god_n have_v forbid_v murder_n as_o a_o owgly_a and_o outrageous_a thing_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o which_o rise_v up_o against_o his_o neighbour_n to_o murder_v he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o wood_n beast_n we_o see_v how_o bear_n lion_n and_o other_o

notwithstanding_o the_o common_a knowledge_n or_o instinct_n of_o nature_n hold_v they_o in_o order_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o very_a beast_n have_v skill_n to_o live_v well_o together_o with_o the_o beast_n of_o their_o own_o kind_n without_o hurt_v one_o another_o and_o shall_v not_o man_n be_v restrain_v by_o some_o consideration_n see_v that_o god_n have_v imprint_v it_o in_o their_o

this_o serve_v they_o for_o a_o bridle_n to_o withhold_v they_o from_o all_o violence_n what_o a_o deal_n be_v it_o else_o so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n that_o although_o god_n

to_o man_n and_o other_o creature_n this_o extend_v very_o far_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o be_v admonish_v in_o fair_a word_n that_o when_o moses_n say_v we_o must_v swear_v

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

this_o be_v still_o to_o show_v we_o that_o which_o i_o have_v declare_v afore_o namely_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v at_o any_o stay_n unless_o we_o know_v well_o what_o god_n it_o be_v who_o we_o

of_o a_o prince_n he_o shall_v not_o escape_v unpunished_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v punish_v for_o set_v themselves_o against_o god_n yea_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o wot_v not_o what_o god_n they_o worship_v for_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o their_o own_o wicked_a and_o devilish_a superstition_n let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o we_o must_v not_o take_v this_o law_n here_o at_o alaventure_fw-fr but_o that_o to_o begin_v well_o we_o must_v lay_v this_o foundation_n that_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o religion_n which_o

for_o man_n to_o excuse_v themselves_o by_o say_v as_o for_o i_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o abolish_v all_o religion_n and_o yet_o if_o i_o like_v well_o of_o this_o thing_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v

and_o that_o when_o we_o have_v once_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n that_o must_v suffice_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o go_v astraye_v it_o be_v through_o our_o own_o fault_n and_o

with_o we_o still_o and_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o text_n that_o our_o lord_n abhor_v ydolatry_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o other_o offence_n be_v to_o be_v punish_v this_o

we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n but_o here_o a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n how_o moses_n may_v say_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o such_o a_o

not_o without_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v a_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o when_o we_o protest_v that_o only_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v and_o when_o we_o make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o

and_o yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o cursednesse_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n in_o the_o firstlinge_n tenthes_o and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_n unto_o he_o but_o as_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n it_o behove_v god_n curse_n to_o be_v

thereof_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n that_o god_n like_v very_o well_o of_o and_o why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v a_o protest_v that_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o suffer_v

to_o be_v now_o than_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n command_v sacrifice_v to_o be_v do_v unto_o god_n with_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o

we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o say_n of_o moses_n whereupon_o we_o have_v to_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o take_v example_n at_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o such_o as_o have_v not_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o god_n school_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a doctrine_n for_o we_o consider_v how_o we_o ever_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o cause_n of_o

a_o shelter_n to_o us._n but_o contrariwise_o moses_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o we_o must_v be_v a_o people_n sanctify_v unto_o god_n so_o as_o if_o the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n do_v play_v the_o

even_o by_o the_o profane_a history_n when_o they_o be_v once_o become_v idolater_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o great_a unshamefastnesse_n of_o they_o to_o make_v such_o boast_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o

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 a_o judge_n 3.20_o 1._o joh._n 3.20_o and_o if_o our_o own_o heart_n reprove_v we_o as_o say_v saint_n john_n god_n see_v much_o more_o clear_o so_o then_o this_o text_n serve_v well_o to_o

be_v see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o call_v himself_o our_o god_n &_o avow_v we_o to_o be_v his_o people_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o word_n do_v presuppose_v that_o

then_o that_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o walk_v in_o such_o obedience_n to_o our_o god_n as_o he_o may_v make_v the_o redemption_n available_a which_o be_v wrought_v by_o our_o

thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n now_o there_o be_v also_o a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o the_o body_n must_v not_o hang_v in_o the_o air_n above_o one_o day_n and_o that_o be_v

so_o approve_a he_o will_v have_v the_o body_n to_o be_v bury_v yea_o even_o remoove_v from_o of_o the_o earth_n as_o a_o infection_n for_o why_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n body_n hang_v upon_o the_o

how_o the_o execute_n of_o justice_n upon_o offender_n and_o wicked_a doer_n and_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o leaudenesse_n be_v a_o warrant_n that_o god_n vengeance_n shall_v not_o light_v upon_o the_o
