also_o wonderful_o strengthen_v and_o comfort_v the_o godly_a i_o will_v therefore_o set_v out_o the_o six_o part_n of_o this_o mind_v the_o first_o be_v that_o thereby_o will_v come_v too_o our_o mind_n how_o great_a the_o wrath_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o have_v be_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n which_o can_v not_o be_v appease_v by_o the_o work_v of_o any_o creature_n but_o that_o of_o

too_o our_o remembrance_n how_o unmeasurable_a and_o unsercheable_a have_v be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n who_o rather_o will_v that_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n shall_v suffer_v most_o

justice_n move_v he_o too_o look_v for_o rightful_a amends_n of_o the_o wrong_n man_z sind_z and_o for_o so_o do_v he_o must_v either_o perish_v or_o make_v amends_n now_o man_n be_v no_o more_o but_o man_n can_v not_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o other_o than_o man_n none_o ought_v too_o do_v it_o god_n wisdom_n therefore_o find_v through_o mercy_n a_o remedy_n in_o this_o case_n which_o be_v that_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n shall_v become_v man_n by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o both_o be_v able_a too_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n because_o he_o be_v god_n and_o ought_v too_o do_v it_o

fall_v out_o according_a too_o the_o law_n when_o he_o be_v full_o six_o week_n old_a the_o place_n be_v three_o 1_o the_o offer_v up_o of_o chryst_n in_o the_o temple_n 2_o simeons_n description_n

by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n but_o there_o be_v other_o cause_n of_o which_o number_n be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v that_o by_o this_o exercise_n the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o gentile_n may_v be_v hinder_v for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o all_o man_n even_o the_o most_o barbarous_a be_v touch_v with_o a_o certain_a reverence_n of_o religion_n they_o will_v set_v up_o fashion_n of_o

sundry_a service_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o by_o the_o multitude_n of_o ceremony_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o jewishe_a people_n may_v be_v withhilde_n from_o idolatry_n and_o serve_v

be_v that_o inward_a godliness_n may_v be_v exercise_v by_o these_o outward_a help_n for_o these_o outward_a sacrifice_n be_v not_o of_o themselves_o god_n service_n but_o only_a stir_n up_o of_o

which_o gather_v be_v call_v a_o contribution_n from_o hence_o also_o issue_v the_o manner_n of_o tything_n the_o five_o be_v that_o these_o old_a oblation_n be_v a_o shadow_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n

of_o mankind_n which_o have_v deserve_v eternal_a pain_n second_o he_o look_v forward_o too_o the_o thing_n y_fw-fr t_o be_v signify_v for_o he_o think_v that_o his_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o promise_a seed_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n of_o chryste_n who_o shall_v purge_v sin_n by_o offer_v himself_o in_o sacrifice_n three_o by_o think_v so_o abelles_n faith_n be_v confirm_v and_o

which_o be_v mention_v in_o this_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o double_a commandment_n appoint_v too_o be_v observe_v when_o any_o child_n be_v bear_v the_o one_o be_v of_o the_o mother_n how_o many_o

after_o the_o throw_v of_o her_o childbed_n have_v need_n of_o rest_n that_o she_o may_v gather_v strength_n again_o and_o godly_a husband_n ought_v at_o such_o time_n too_o have_v special_a regard_n
