israel_n o_o lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o so_o watch_v he_o achan_n will_v never_o have_v steal_v if_o he_o have_v know_v that_o god_n do_v see_v he_o gehezi_n dare_v never_o have_v take_v a_o bribe_n if_o he_o have_v think_v that_o god_n behold_v his_o do_n will_v thou_o steal_v the_o owner_n look_v on_o thou_o will_v thou_o speak_v treason_n in_o the_o king_n hear_v neither_o will_v we_o lie_v nor_o swear_v nor_o steal_v nor_o hurt_n nor_o be_v profane_a at_o any_o time_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o lord_n see_v we_o &_o remember_v that_o he_o watch_v we_o if_o we_o will_v do_v this_o sin_n may_v go_v a_o begin_n for_o want_n of_o service_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v mark_v but_o this_o part_n of_o my_o sermon_n that_o god_n see_v all_o you_o will_v refrain_v from_o those_o thing_n secret_o that_o be_v to_o the_o offence_n of_o god_n which_o you_o for_o fear_n or_o shame_n will_v not_o do_v before_o man_n and_o you_o will_v say_v even_o when_o your_o hand_n be_v at_o it_o i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o because_o the_o lord_n see_v i_o but_o as_o when_o we_o sin_n though_o in_o secret_a he_o be_v all_o eye_n to_o see_v we_o &_o when_o he_o see_v it_o requisite_a to_o make_v some_o example_n to_o teach_v all_o that_o when_o man_n can_v nor_o will_v not_o discover_v we_o he_o will_v show_v that_o he_o see_v we_o then_o he_o be_v all_o hand_n to_o punish_v and_o plague_v we_o and_o in_o the_o end_n to_o root_v we_o out_o from_o all_o our_o pleasure_n so_o when_o we_o repent_v he_o be_v all_o mercy_n and_o love_n and_o when_o we_o amend_v our_o life_n and_o leave_v all_o our_o wicked_a way_n to_o walk_v before_o he_o ever_o after_o in_o holiness_n than_o he_o be_v all_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n to_o forgive_v we_o all_o our_o former_a wicked_a

come_v to_o christ_n the_o papist_n have_v find_v out_o many_o salvation_n they_o have_v find_v out_o a_o salvation_n by_o saint_n a_o salvation_n by_o angel_n a_o salvation_n by_o mass_n a_o salvation_n by_o merit_n a_o salvation_n by_o idol_n as_o though_o christ_n have_v least_o to_o do_v in_o his_o own_o office_n for_o they_o have_v other_o salvation_n to_o flee_v unto_o they_o will_v have_v it_o but_o they_o will_v buy_v it_o and_o what_o will_v they_o give_v for_o it_o why_o they_o will_v fast_o so_o many_o day_n go_v so_o far_o on_o pilgrimage_n hire_v priest_n to_o say_v so_o many_o mass_n build_v so_o many_o abbey_n and_o give_v so_o many_o sum_n of_o money_n to_o the_o monk_n and_o friar_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n go_v against_o they_o and_o dishonour_v their_o shamelessness_n who_o like_o nimrod_n that_o heap_v stone_n upon_o stone_n will_v have_v build_v up_o to_o heaven_n heap_v sin_n upon_o sin_n and_o every_o 11._o gen._n 11._o hour_n some_o one_o heresy_n or_o superstition_n grow_v up_o from_o this_o filthy_a root_n for_o what_o papist_n dare_v say_v that_o simeon_n think_v on_o any_o of_o these_o or_o put_v confidence_n in_o any_o other_o

that_o corn_n that_o they_o will_v have_v buy_v with_o it_o i_o will_v wish_v they_o therefore_o to_o say_v as_o joseph_n brethren_n do_v that_o they_o have_v their_o corn_n for_o nothing_o and_o their_o money_n too_o let_v they_o i_o say_v be_v content_a and_o rejoice_v to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v mercy_n for_o nothing_o and_o their_o work_n too_o for_o god_n can_v be_v win_v by_o man_n

be_v the_o true_a and_o eternal_a life_n then_o see_v christ_n be_v both_o our_o righteousness_n salvation_n and_o also_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n to_o lead_v we_o thereunto_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a for_o we_o without_o christ_n to_o be_v justify_v or_o glorify_v as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wise_a without_o wisdom_n righteous_a without_o righteousness_n or_o save_v without_o

through_o all_o the_o land_n of_o judea_n and_o water_v the_o whole_a city_n of_o god_n so_o christ_n 5._o ephes_n 4._o 2._o cor._n 15._o rom._n 5._o do_v show_v himself_o all_o in_o all_o &_o

63._o esay_n 63._o the_o law_n shall_v wrath_n no_o for_o he_o have_v tread_v the_o winepress_a of_o his_o father_n wrath_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sweet_a say_n of_o one_o at_o his_o death_n when_o
