this_o debate_n here_o for_o whoever_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n be_v either_o godly_a or_o ungodly_a if_o he_o be_v ungodly_a he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v more_o than_o he_o do_v and_o if_o he_o

as_o austin_n speak_v so_o that_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o truth_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n reason_n or_o our_o own_o principle_n yet_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o bound_v it_o with_o two_o caution_n 1._o though_o you_o must_v do_v god_n work_v withal_o your_o might_n yet_o your_o moderation_n must_v be_v know_v unto_o all_o man_n some_o will_v not_o let_v god_n work_n pass_v through_o their_o hand_n but_o they_o will_v have_v some_o toll_n for_o their_o own_o interest_n joshua_n do_v not_o so_o he_o conquer_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o divide_v it_o what_o a_o little_a thong_n do_v he_o cut_v out_o of_o that_o leather_n for_o himself_o and_o family_n some_o will_v not_o do_v god_n work_n but_o they_o will_v carry_v it_o on_o with_o their_o own_o passion_n it_o be_v say_v of_o scanderbag_n that_o great_a soldier_n that_o when_o he_o speak_v sometime_o of_o christ_n he_o will_v be_v so_o earnest_a that_o the_o blood_n will_v spurt_v out_o of_o his_o lip_n but_o as_o god_n grace_n have_v no_o need_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o his_o work_n have_v no_o need_n of_o our_o passion_n though_o therefore_o you_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o all_o your_o might_n yet_o you_o be_v to_o manage_v it_o with_o mildness_n and_o sweetness_n therein_o also_o your_o moderation_n be_v to_o be_v know_v to_o all_o 2._o though_o you_o do_v the_o work_n of_o your_o hand_n with_o all_o your_o might_n yet_o you_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o success_n of_o your_o work_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o your_o hand_n but_o of_o god_n hand_n when_o israel_n go_v out_o against_o amaleck_n moses_n lift_v up_o his_o hand_n and_o israel_n prevail_v then_o joshua_n build_v a_o altar_n and_o call_v it_o jehova-nissi_a for_o say_v the_o text_n exod._n 17.15_o the_o lord_n have_v swear_v that_o he_o will_v have_v war_n with_o amaleck_n but_o ver_fw-la 16._o in_o the_o hebrew_n as_o the_o margin_n tell_v it_o be_v the_o hand_n on_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o why_o say_v glassius_n be_v it_o say_v the_o hand_n on_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o to_o show_v that_o this_o victory_n be_v not_o from_o moses_n hand_n though_o it_o be_v a_o pray_a hand_n but_o from_o god_n hand_n luther_n tell_v we_o of_o staupitius_n that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o government_n he_o say_v i_o will_v govern_v according_a to_o law_n but_o when_o he_o see_v that_o his_o government_n do_v not_o succeed_v than_o he_o say_v i_o will_v govern_v according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n when_o he_o see_v that_o succeed_v not_o then_o say_v he_o i_o will_v govern_v by_o the_o scripture_n when_o he_o see_v that_o succeed_v not_o well_o then_o say_v he_o i_o will_v do_v what_o i_o can_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o law_n and_o leave_v the_o success_n unto_o god_n and_o then_o his_o government_n prosper_v and_o you_o see_v how_o it_o be_v with_o a_o child_n a_o father_n bid_v he_o do_v this_o or_o that_o which_o he_o know_v the_o child_n can_v do_v therefore_o he_o secret_o put_v his_o own_o hand_n to_o the_o work_n and_o he_o praise_v his_o child_n and_o the_o child_n think_v that_o his_o hand_n do_v it_o so_o here_o god_n bid_v we_o do_v his_o work_n with_o all_o our_o might_n &_o we_o do_v so_o &_o have_v success_n in_o the_o work_n and_o we_o think_v the_o success_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o hand_n whereas_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o father_n hand_n mark_v therefore_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o word_n to_o the_o text_n in_o this_o verse_n say_v solomon_n whatever_o thou_o find_v in_o thy_o hand_n to_o do_v do_v it_o with_o all_o thy_o might_n but_o in_o the_o next_o word_n say_v i_o return_v and_o see_v that_o the_o race_n be_v not_o to_o the_o swift_a nor_o the_o battle_n to_o the_o strong_a why_o do_v he_o add_v these_o word_n immediate_o but_o to_o show_v thus_o much_o that_o though_o we_o do_v god_n work_v withal_o our_o might_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o success_n as_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o own_o hand_n and_o thus_o now_o this_o doctrine_n be_v clear_v prove_v
