people_n from_o egypt_n and_o carry_v of_o they_o through_o the_o red-sea_n and_o this_o song_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a song_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v the_o first_o in_o scripture_n and_o we_o know_v of_o no_o author_n before_o moses_n those_o that_o be_v skilful_a in_o the_o way_n of_o poetry_n be_v many_o hundred_o year_n after_o moses_n it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o most_o excellent_a song_n the_o stile_n of_o it_o be_v full_a of_o elegancy_n the_o matter_n of_o exceed_a variety_n it_o be_v eucharistical_a triumphant_a prophetical_a and_o it_o be_v pity_n we_o have_v not_o such_o a_o excellent_a song_n as_o this_o be_v turn_v into_o meeter_n to_o be_v sing_v in_o our_o congregation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o delightful_a song_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v observe_v when_o god_n promise_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v exceed_o rejoice_v he_o have_v reference_n to_o this_o song_n hosea_n 2._o 15._o and_o i_o will_v give_v her_o vineyard_n from_o thence_o and_o the_o valley_n of_o anchor_n for_o a_o door_n of_o hope_n and_o she_o shall_v sing_v there_o as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o her_o youth_n and_o as_o in_o the_o day_n when_o she_o come_v up_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n when_o god_n intend_v any_o great_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n he_o will_v have_v they_o sing_v according_a to_o this_o song_n of_o moses_n so_o then_o if_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n if_o he_o be_v open_v a_o door_n of_o hope_n to_o we_o you_o see_v how_o seasonable_a this_o song_n be_v and_o it_o be_v a_o typical_a song_n as_o of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o god_n people_n out_o of_o egypt_n so_o a_o type_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o god_n people_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o antichrist_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o this_o song_n be_v to_o be_v sing_v again_o when_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o antichrist_n in_o revel_n 15._o and_o the_o beginning_n you_o may_v see_v god_n judgement_n upon_o antichrist_n and_o in_o vers_n 3._o it_o be_v say_v they_o sing_v the_o song_n of_o moses_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb_n say_v great_a and_o marvellous_a be_v thy_o work_n lord_n god_n almighty_a just_a and_o true_a be_v thy_o way_n thou_o king_n of_o saint_n by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v that_o god_n will_v show_v we_o that_o the_o bondage_n under_o antichrist_n be_v like_o the_o bondage_n in_o egypt_n and_o therefore_o rome_n be_v call_v egypt_n in_o the_o revelation_n because_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v deliur_v from_o antichristian_a bondage_n we_o shall_v renew_v this_o song_n of_o moses_n so_o that_o if_o we_o now_o expect_v deliverance_n from_o bondage_n under_o antichrist_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o acquaint_v ourselves_o with_o this_o song_n because_o it_o be_v that_o which_o shall_v be_v sing_v over_o again_o when_o the_o bondage_n of_o antichrist_n be_v remove_v it_o be_v a_o miraculous_a song_n according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o austin_n he_o bring_v in_o this_o song_n as_o one_o of_o the_o miracle_n that_o be_v that_o god_n do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n by_o the_o spirit_n inspire_v all_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o they_o sing_v together_o one_o and_o the_o same_o song_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v miraculous_a true_a if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o but_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o clear_a in_o that_o but_o we_o leave_v general_n and_o come_v to_o the_o word_n though_o there_o be_v many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o the_o chapter_n to_o make_v way_n to_o that_o i_o have_v read_v yet_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v hinder_v i_o will_v come_v instant_o to_o the_o word_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o recapitulation_n of_o all_o contain_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o have_v speak_v of_o many_o particular_n that_o god_n do_v for_o his_o people_n but_o there_o be_v none_o like_o unto_o the_o

there_o be_v none_o like_o the_o lord_n second_o glorious_a in_o holiness_n three_o fearful_a in_o praise_n four_o do_v wonder_n i_o confess_v when_o my_o thought_n be_v first_o to_o speak_v upon_o this_o text_n i_o intend_v only_o the_o three_o particular_a the_o open_n of_o that_o title_n of_o god_n fearful_a in_o praise_n we_o find_v not_o any_o such_o title_n that_o i_o know_v of_o in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n but_o only_o in_o this_o place_n but_o because_o i_o see_v there_o be_v much_o of_o god_n in_o the_o two_o former_a therefore_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v useful_a to_o show_v you_o what_o there_o be_v of_o god_n in_o they_o and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o pass_v they_o by_o for_o the_o two_o first_o then_o who_o be_v like_a to_o thou_o o_o lord_n among_o the_o god_n who_o be_v like_a unto_o thou_o glorious_a in_o holiness_n who_o be_v like_a to_o thou_o this_o you_o see_v be_v put_v by_o way_n of_o interrogation_n now_o interrogation_n in_o scripture_n be_v

and_o both_o these_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v here_o in_o the_o text_n first_o by_o way_n of_o admiration_n who_o be_v like_a unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n among_o the_o god_n etc._n etc._n the_o

expression_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o lift_v up_o of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o god_n and_o god_n do_v much_o glory_n in_o this_o expression_n of_o his_o glory_n that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o we_o have_v it_o very_o often_o in_o scripture_n 1_o chron._n 17._o 20._o o_o lord_n there_o be_v none_o like_o thou_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o god_n beside_o thou_o according_a to_o all_o that_o we_o have_v hear_v with_o our_o ear_n so_o in_o psalm_n 86._o 8._o among_o the_o god_n there_o be_v none_o like_o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o psalm_n 89._o 6._o for_o who_o in_o the_o heaven_n can_v be_v compare_v unto_o the_o lord_n who_o among_o the_o son_n of_o the_o mighty_a can_v be_v liken_v unto_o the_o lord_n we_o may_v name_v divers_a other_o place_n where_o god_n glory_v much_o in_o this_o expression_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v glory_v much_o in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n they_o shall_v do_v so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o godly_a maccabee_n that_o at_o first_o by_o reason_n their_o name_n be_v a_o offence_n meet_v with_o this_o

unto_o he_o psal_n 86._o 8._o among_o the_o god_n there_o be_v none_o like_o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o work_n like_v unto_o thy_o work_n mark_v what_o follow_v in_o 9_o 10._o 11._o 12._o verse_n all_o nation_n who_o thou_o have_v make_v shall_v come_v and_o worship_n before_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o shall_v glorify_v thy_o name_n for_o thou_o be_v great_a and_o do_v

holy_a prophet_n be_v take_v with_o this_o expression_n of_o god_n that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o therefore_o teach_v i_o thy_o way_n o_o lord_n i_o will_v walk_v in_o thy_o truth_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v none_o like_o unto_o the_o lord_n among_o the_o god_n so_o it_o be_v here_o it_o may_v be_v translate_v as_o well_o among_o the_o mighty_n god_n be_v lift_v up_o here_o not_o only_o above_o the_o heathen_a god_n so_o that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o among_o they_o but_o he_o be_v lift_v up_o above_o whatever_o have_v any_o excellency_n in_o it_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o thou_o among_o the_o mighty_n who_o ever_o be_v mighty_a &_o great_a or_o let_v there_o be_v what_o might_n and_o greatness_n and_o excellency_n soever_o in_o the_o world_n yet_o god_n be_v infinite_o above_o all_o it_o will_v take_v up_o too_o much_o of_o our_o time_n if_o we_o shall_v dilate_v ourselves_o in_o show_v to_o you_o somewhat_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o this_o how_o he_o be_v above_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o i_o will_v therefore_o but_o brief_o name_v a_o few_o passage_n and_o apply_v this_o particular_a and_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o that_o we_o shall_v dwell_v long_o upon_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o god_n first_o in_o that_o whatever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v god_n himself_o this_o be_v a_o propriety_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o creature_n have_v any_o excellency_n in_o it_o that_o reach_v to_o this_o excellency_n that_o whatever_o be_v in_o that_o creature_n shall_v be_v the_o be_v of_o it_o all_o creature_n be_v make_v up_o of_o several_a thing_n but_o now_o whatever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v god_n himself_o again_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a goodness_n in_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o in_o that_o one_o creature_n have_v one_o good_a in_o it_o and_o another_o another_z but_o god_n have_v all_o good_a in_o he_o there_o be_v all_o excellency_n and_o beauty_n in_o god_n in_o a_o eminent_a manner_n there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o in_o that_o and_o then_o all_o being_n be_v but_o one_o excellency_n in_o god_n however_o we_o apprehend_v god_n in_o several_a excellency_n one_o attribute_n shine_v through_o one_o creature_n and_o another_o through_o another_o yet_o all_o be_v unite_v in_o god_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o be_v primitive_o in_o he_o he_o be_v of_o himself_o and_o from_o himself_o and_o for_o himself_o and_o then_o none_o can_v communicate_v himself_o so_o as_o god_n can_v none_o can_v inflict_v evil_a or_o convey_v good_a so_o as_o god_n can_v and_o that_o this_o expression_n of_o god_n have_v reference_n too_o for_o it_o be_v peculiar_a to_o god_n to_o communicate_v as_o much_o of_o himself_o as_o he_o will_v which_o no_o creature_n can_v do_v though_o the_o creature_n have_v but_o little_a some_o drop_n only_o of_o goodness_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o infinite_a ocean_n that_o be_v in_o god_n yet_o the_o creature_n can_v communicate_v of_o those_o drop_n as_o it_o will_v it_o be_v the_o propriety_n of_o god_n only_o to_o communicate_v of_o his_o goodness_n as_o he_o will_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o can_v make_v the_o creature_n that_o he_o communicate_v his_o goodness_n to_o to_o be_v as_o sensible_a of_o his_o goodness_n as_o he_o please_v which_o none_o else_o can_v do_v though_o one_o creature_n can_v communicate_v good_a to_o another_o yet_o it_o can_v make_v that_o creature_n as_o sensible_a of_o that_o good_a as_o it_o will_v which_o god_n can_v do_v and_o so_o in_o inflict_v of_o evil_n there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v able_a to_o let_v out_o all_o evil_a to_o bring_v all_o evil_a at_o once_o which_o none_o else_o can_v do_v and_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o creature_n upon_o who_o he_o inflict_v a_o evil_a to_o be_v as_o sensible_a of_o that_o evil_a as_o he_o will_v one_o that_o hurt_v another_o yet_o can_v make_v he_o as_o sensible_a of_o that_o hurt_n as_o he_o please_v but_o this_o be_v the_o propriety_n of_o god_n as_o he_o can_v bring_v all_o evil_a together_o so_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o creature_n as_o sensible_a of_o all_o as_o he_o will_v and_o god_n challenge_v this_o as_o his_o own_o propriety_n that_o he_o alone_o can_v do_v good_a and_o he_o alone_o can_v do_v evil_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o there_o be_v none_o to_o be_v worship_v as_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v none_o to_o be_v honour_v as_o the_o lord_n the_o heathen_a god_n because_o they_o do_v but_o communicate_v some_o particular_a good_a therefore_o they_o challenge_v but_o particular_a service_n external_a worship_n and_o worship_n in_o some_o particular_n will_v serve_v the_o heathen_a god_n and_o they_o be_v satisfy_v with_o it_o and_o require_v no_o more_o and_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o it_o because_o they_o can_v not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o a_o communication_n of_o a_o universal_a good_a for_o one_o god_n be_v for_o one_o particular_a good_a and_o another_o for_o another_o particular_a good_a and_o therefore_o they_o have_v but_o particular_a worship_n suitable_a thereunto_o but_o now_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o the_o lord_n he_o challenge_v a_o universal_a worship_n and_o obedience_n thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o soul_n and_o strength_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o worship_n to_o be_v give_v to_o any_o as_o be_v give_v to_o god_n and_o all_o because_o there_o be_v none_o like_o to_o he_o in_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o communicate_v of_o himself_o unto_o his_o creature_n now_o this_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v be_v exceed_v useful_a in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n in_o order_v of_o our_o way_n and_o thought_n towards_o god_n consider_v how_o useful_a this_o be_v thus_o it_o shall_v be_v our_o care_n in_o behold_v any_o beauty_n any_o good_a or_o excellency_n in_o the_o creature_n to_o keep_v still_o in_o our_o thought_n and_o heart_n the_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n of_o the_o infinite_a distance_n that_o there_o be_v between_o god_n and_o that_o creature_n the_o want_n of_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o almost_o all_o the_o evil_a that_o there_o

the_o creature_n when_o we_o see_v a_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n in_o it_o and_o that_o because_o it_o be_v his_o similitude_n upon_o the_o creature_n and_o it_o be_v god_n excellency_n that_o be_v

with_o and_o taste_n god_n there_o but_o though_o god_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o do_v this_o yet_o evermore_o so_o that_o we_o be_v sure_a to_o reserve_v our_o heart_n to_o god_n to_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o infinite_a excellency_n that_o be_v in_o god_n above_o any_o creature_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a of_o this_o we_o shall_v soon_o fall_v off_o from_o glorify_v god_n as_o god_n and_o our_o heart_n will_v stick_v in_o the_o creature_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o outward_a idolatry_n and_o spiritual_a idolatry_n in_o the_o world_n of_o outward_a idolatry_n which_o do_v arise_v thus_o man_n at_o first_o see_v some_o excellency_n and_o worth_n in_o the_o creature_n as_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n they_o do_v acknowledge_v god_n
