wander_v in_o the_o wilderness_n by_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n god_n show_v yet_o more_o hard_a and_o rigorous_a vengeance_n upon_o they_o afterward_o in_o the_o thraldom_n of_o babylon_n and_o other_o misery_n that_o happen_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o thraldom_n of_o babylon_n last_v three_o score_n and_o ten_o year_n and_o at_o their_o return_n although_o he_o show_v great_a and_o wonderful_a power_n yet_o be_v they_o but_o a_o handful_n which_o be_v save_v according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n esay_n 10.22_o esa._n 10.22_o though_o thy_o people_n be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n yet_o shall_v but_o a_o small_a remnant_n of_o they_o be_v save_v and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v we_o have_v be_v as_o sodom_n and_o gomorre_n 1.9_o esa._n 1.9_o if_o god_n have_v not_o reserve_v a_o little_a seed_n yea_o even_o a_o very_a little_a one_o we_o see_v then_o that_o god_n increase_v his_o wrath_n against_o such_o as_o amend_v not_o at_o the_o example_n of_o their_o father_n and_o why_o because_o they_o be_v the_o less_o to_o be_v excuse_v for_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v take_v warning_n by_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o therefore_o do_v they_o double_v their_o offence_n and_o what_o think_v we_o of_o the_o desolation_n that_o have_v happen_v since_o the_o first_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o refusal_n whereof_o the_o wretched_a world_n have_v wander_v so_o astray_o as_o all_o thing_n have_v be_v corrupt_v in_o the_o church_n so_o that_o in_o steed_n of_o god_n service_n there_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o abomination_n instead_o of_o truth_n there_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o devilish_a lie_n and_o error_n and_o all_o thing_n have_v be_v put_v out_o of_o order_n there_o and_o that_o the_o same_o confusion_n have_v last_v now_o so_o long_a time_n all_o these_o thing_n do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o god_n voice_n ought_v to_o sound_v shirler_n nowadays_o in_o the_o gospel_n than_o it_o do_v in_o the_o law_n for_o as_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n aggeus_n 2.7_o agge_n 2.7_o god_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o quake_v nowadays_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o beside_o that_o we_o have_v all_o the_o thing_n that_o befall_v to_o the_o people_n of_o old_a time_n which_o serve_v we_o as_o a_o lively_a picture_n there_o must_v we_o behold_v god_n wrath_n to_o restrain_v ourselves_o from_o do_v evil_a 10.11_o 1._o cor._n 10.11_o as_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o in_o y_o e_fw-la ten_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n but_o if_o we_o make_v no_o reckon_v thereof_o be_v it_o not_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v punish_v we_o sore_a than_o he_o do_v the_o jew_n let_v we_o learn_v then_o to_o hearken_v to_o god_n voice_n while_o it_o sound_v in_o our_o ear_n and_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o harden_v not_o our_o heart_n lest_o god_n swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n for_o it_o be_v say_v express_o that_o god_n swear_v and_o why_o because_o man_n think_v his_o threat_n to_o be_v vain_a if_o he_o make_v they_o not_o to_o perceive_v that_o he_o speak_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o of_o a_o truth_n we_o see_v daily_o that_o when_o god_n threaten_n be_v utter_v unto_o we_o a_o great_a many_o of_o we_o do_v but_o shake_v our_o ear_n at_o they_o and_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o be_v touch_v with_o they_o be_v very_o small_a therefore_o the_o oath_n that_o god_n swear_v be_v no_o more_o than_o need_v even_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o blockishness_n that_o be_v in_o man_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o make_v but_o a_o mock_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v they_o and_o like_v as_o god_n to_o help_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o faith_n use_v a_o oath_n when_o he_o confirm_v his_o promise_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n he_o use_v to_o swear_v when_o he_o threaten_v to_o punish_v us._n and_o why_o to_o the_o end_n that_o be_v afraid_a and_o abash_v at_o it_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o repentance_n for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o make_v to_o stoop_v that_o we_o may_v take_v hold_n of_o god_n justice_n our_o fault_n will_v never_o mislike_v us._n god_n justice_n then_o must_v become_v as_o a_o thunder_n or_o lightning_n and_o we_o must_v be_v abash_v before_o he_o that_o we_o may_v no_o more_o be_v so_o drunken_a in_o our_o sin_n as_o we_o be_v and_o therefore_o whensoever_o god_n threaten_n do_v not_o dismay_v we_o sufficient_o let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o oath_n that_o moses_n speak_v of_o here_o and_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v we_o who_o the_o same_o point_v at_o according_a to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o both_o out_o of_o the_o psalm_n and_o out_o of_o the_o record_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o also_o mark_v well_o the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o by_o moses_n none_o of_o this_o curse_a and_o wicked_a generation_n say_v he_o shall_v see_v the_o good_a land_n that_o i_o have_v promise_v here_o god_n make_v a_o comparison_n between_o land_n and_o the_o people_n this_o land_n than_o be_v a_o singular_a gift_n in_o token_n whereof_o he_o call_v it_o his_o rest_n mean_v thereby_o that_o he_o have_v choose_v that_o land_n to_o be_v as_o a_o dwell_a place_n and_o everlasting_a inheritance_n for_o the_o people_n to_o rest_v in_o under_o his_o protection_n for_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n in_o this_o world_n and_o if_o we_o be_v lodge_v in_o any_o place_n we_o may_v be_v put_v out_o of_o our_o nest_n again_o to_o day_n or_o to_o morrow_n but_o god_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o have_v assign_v the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n for_o a_o everlasting_a possession_n to_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n to_o maintain_v they_o and_o keep_v they_o safe_a there_o so_o as_o no_o man_n shall_v trouble_v they_o nor_o ever_o drive_v they_o out_o again_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o land_n be_v not_o a_o common_a gift_n but_o a_o gift_n that_o deserve_v to_o be_v esteem_v as_o most_o excellent_a above_o all_o other_o but_o behold_v the_o people_n on_o the_o otherside_n be_v malicious_a and_o froward_a therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o our_o lord_n shall_v say_v i_o see_v well_o enough_o how_o the_o world_n go_v i_o shall_v soon_o make_v fire_n and_o water_n to_o agree_v than_o cause_n this_o people_n to_o like_v of_o my_o benefit_n for_o in_o my_o benefit_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a goodness_n and_o in_o this_o people_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mere_a naughtiness_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o to_o enjoy_v god_n benefit_n we_o must_v frame_v ourselves_o to_o his_o will_n and_o righteousness_n for_o our_o naughtiness_n and_o god_n goodness_n can_v never_o match_v together_o insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o will_v needs_o follow_v our_o own_o nature_n god_n must_v needs_o withdraw_v his_o goodness_n away_o from_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n look_v not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n at_o our_o hand_n why_o he_o shall_v do_v we_o good_a nay_o rather_o he_o fight_v daily_o against_o our_o sin_n and_o use_v mercy_n where_o as_o he_o may_v lawful_o use_v rigour_n against_o us._n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o if_o he_o see_v that_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o naughtiness_n he_o can_v no_o long_o continue_v in_o do_v we_o good_a you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o consideration_n be_v that_o there_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o accord_n and_o melody_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o that_o when_o he_o impart_v his_o benefit_n unto_o we_o we_o must_v make_v such_o estimation_n of_o they_o as_o we_o indever_n to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o for_o they_o and_o consider_v that_o he_o call_v we_o to_o he_o to_o pluck_v we_o back_o from_o our_o sin_n if_o we_o do_v so_o the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o shall_v be_v confirm_v more_o &_o more_o otherwise_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o our_o naughtiness_n shall_v cut_v off_o the_o course_n of_o his_o goodness_n why_o so_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o when_o god_n offer_v man_n his_o benefit_n &_o they_o refuse_v they_o of_o a_o wilful_a frowardness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o fire_n and_o water_n shall_v meet_v together_o but_o beside_o this_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v god_n upbraid_v of_o the_o people_n with_o their_o say_n that_o their_o young_a child_n shall_v be_v a_o pray_v to_o their_o enemy_n they_o say_v he_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n yea_o even_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o you_o may_v be_v prove_v liar_n here_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o man_n will_v needs_o doubt_v of_o god_n truth_n they_o must_v in_o the_o end_n be_v
and_o root_v they_o out_o now_o if_o this_o be_v say_v of_o temporal_a enemy_n what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o satan_n and_o of_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v we_o able_a to_o overcome_v they_o will_v the_o bring_n of_o our_o own_o free_a will_n our_o merit_n and_o our_o good_a work_n be_v able_a to_o overcome_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n death_n itself_o and_o hell_n no_o but_o the_o blind_a wretch_n be_v well_o pay_v that_o they_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o can_v do_v much_o &_o that_o they_o be_v very_o able_a folk_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v disgrace_v here_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o nothing_o we_o be_v ne_o nothing_o can_v do_v of_o ourselves_o but_o that_o all_o y_fw-fr e_o good_a which_o we_o do_v come_v of_o god_n 2.13_o phil._n 2.13_o and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o do_v it_o in_o us._n for_o if_o a_o man_n can_v stir_v one_o finger_n towards_o the_o save_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n can_v he_o save_v his_o soul_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n if_o a_o man_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o adversary_n which_o be_v a_o mortal_a and_o frail_a creature_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o how_o shall_v he_o overcome_v the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o deceive_v ourselves_o no_o more_o with_o these_o fond_a imagination_n in_o think_v ourselves_o to_o have_v free_a will_n to_o do_v this_o and_o that_o but_o let_v we_o know_v that_o if_o god_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n then_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v through_o he_o &_o not_o through_o ourselves_o saint_n paul_n glori_v sufficient_o but_o how_o be_v that_o i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n say_v he_o through_o jesus_n christ_n which_o strengthen_v i_o 4.13_o phil._n 4.13_o he_o say_v he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a he_o defy_v the_o devil_n which_o manner_n of_o boldness_n we_o see_v he_o use_v chief_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o philippian_n but_o yet_o he_o reserve_v nothing_o to_o himself_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v strengthen_v by_o jesus_n christ._n then_o if_o we_o be_v strengthen_v from_o above_o we_o shall_v get_v the_o upper_a hand_n but_o yet_o as_o i_o say_v we_o must_v always_o acknowledge_v how_o it_o be_v god_n that_o strengthen_v we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o that_o we_o stand_v out_o and_o get_v the_o victory_n the_o third_o reason_n that_o moses_n allege_v be_v this_o that_o god_n in_o set_v his_o people_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o promise_a land_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o promise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o swear_v to_o abraham_n isaac_n &_o jacob_n hereby_o the_o jew_n be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n choose_v they_o not_o as_o more_o worthy_a more_o noble_a &_o more_o excellent_a than_o other_o man_n as_o have_v be_v show_v already_o but_o because_o he_o have_v make_v promise_n to_o their_o forefather_n but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o cause_n move_v and_o lead_v god_n to_o give_v this_o land_n to_o abraham_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n if_o he_o have_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o man_n worthiness_n abraham_n deserve_v much_o more_o than_o any_o other_o to_o have_v be_v set_v in_o possession_n of_o that_o land_n and_o yet_o contrariwise_o his_o dwell_n there_o be_v but_o as_o a_o

while_o they_o have_v not_o one_o foot_n of_o ground_n more_o than_o a_o bury_a place_n in_o so_o much_o that_o at_o length_n jacob_n be_v drive_v to_o pay_v for_o the_o ground_n where_o he_o lodge_v

the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n now_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a father_n be_v not_o put_v in_o possession_n of_o it_o during_o their_o life_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o their_o posterity_n be_v worthy_a than_o they_o no_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o god_n covenant_n be_v mere_o of_o free_a gift_n and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o respect_n to_o any_o desert_n of_o man_n and_o why_o because_o he_o love_v that_o people_n we_o must_v not_o ask_v whether_o he_o find_v any_o virtue_n in_o they_o or_o no_o but_o it_o must_v suffice_v we_o that_o he_o list_v to_o magnify_v his_o mercy_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o seek_v no_o cause_n in_o man_n to_o do_v they_o good_a but_o i_o find_v it_o in_o myself_o for_o of_o man_n that_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v utter_o reject_v i_o choose_v out_o some_o

the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o their_o father_n now_o we_o know_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o that_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v before_o these_o people_n be_v bear_v they_o can_v not_o say_v that_o god_n regard_v what_o they_o be_v as_o some_o fantastical_a person_n do_v which_o say_v that_o god_n foresee_v what_o man_n will_v be_v if_o he_o do_v but_o foresee_v sure_o he_o shall_v find_v we_o all_o devil_n that_o be_v to_o say_v unhappy_a and_o curse_a creature_n full_a of_o all_o wickedness_n and_o such_o as_o have_v nothing_o but_o utter_a abomination_n in_o us._n those_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n shall_v find_v in_o we_o if_o he_o do_v but_o foresee_v nay_o if_o he_o will_v have_v we_o good_a he_o himself_o must_v frame_v we_o thereto_o for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o ephesian_n 2.10_o eph._n 2.10_o and_o the_o same_o be_v also_o express_v plain_o in_o the_o fourscore_o and_o fifteen_o psalm_n 95.6_o psal._n 95.6_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o make_v us._n and_o david_n in_o that_o place_n speak_v not_o of_o god_n first_o create_v of_o we_o when_o we_o be_v set_v into_o the_o world_n as_o his_o creature_n but_o he_o mean_v it_o of_o his_o reform_v of_o we_o by_o his_o grace_n now_o then_o if_o god_n do_v but_o foresee_v thing_n then_o see_v he_o nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a rebellion_n and_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v damnable_a in_o all_o respect_n and_o heir_n of_o endless_a death_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o choose_v we_o before_o we_o have_v do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n it_o be_v to_o magnify_v his_o own_o grace_n as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v in_o the_o nyenth_n to_o the_o roman_n 9.11_o rom._n 9.11_o and_o so_o you_o may_v see_v what_o moses_n tell_v we_o here_o but_o now_o must_v we_o come_v back_o again_o to_o the_o say_a comparison_n that_o i_o touch_v afore_o which_o be_v that_o if_o god_n will_v have_v the_o say_a covenant_n which_o he_o make_v concern_v the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n and_o the_o temporal_a succession_n to_o be_v know_v to_o be_v of_o his_o free_a goodness_n it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o when_o he_o call_v we_o to_o be_v heir_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o god_n and_o saviour_n his_o goodness_n shall_v have_v the_o high_a degree_n

that_o although_o god_n be_v hard_a and_o rough_a to_o they_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o fail_v to_o remember_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v they_o for_o his_o people_n of_o porpose_n to_o

call_v upon_o god_n look_v upon_o the_o wish_n of_o this_o world_n how_o they_o flee_v in_o the_o air_n every_o man_n covet_v whatsoever_o most_o like_v his_o flesh_n &_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o wish_v with_o i_o will_v i_o will_v and_o whereas_o man_n speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n yet_o shall_v you_o scarce_o find_v one_o among_o a_o hundred_o which_o direct_v himself_o to_o god_n to_o say_v lord_n thou_o know_v what_o be_v meet_v for_o i_o vouchsafe_v i_o beseech_v thou_o to_o send_v it_o i_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o man_n be_v so_o gad_v and_o that_o their_o nature_n lead_v they_o but_o to_o flicker_a in_o the_o air_n after_o their_o wish_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o occupy_v not_o themselves_o in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o the_o text_n where_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o all_o prosperity_n come_v of_o god_n and_o moreover_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o when_o god_n utter_v his_o favour_n in_o that_o wise_a it_o be_v because_o that_o he_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o love_v we_o so_o as_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v the_o cause_n thereof_o in_o ourselves_o as_o though_o we_o have_v prevent_v god_n or_o as_o though_o we_o have_v get_v aught_o by_o our_o own_o desert_n but_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o god_n be_v favourable_a unto_o we_o because_o he_o have_v love_v we_o notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v then_o that_o from_o the_o conduit-pype_n whereat_o we_o drink_v we_o must_v go_v up_o to_o the_o fountain_n and_o to_o the_o spring_n head_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o god_n free_a goodness_n which_o be_v high_a in_o degree_n as_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v at_o his_o hand_n now_o last_o of_o all_o it_o be_v say_v of_o nephthaly_n that_o he_o shall_v possess_v the_o south_n and_o the_o west_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o sea_n for_o so_o do_v the_o speech_n

speak_v not_o to_o the_o unbeliever_n such_o as_o never_o wist_v what_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v but_o to_o such_o as_o have_v hear_v the_o law_n to_o such_o as_o have_v have_v their_o ear_n

out_o of_o hand_n now_o we_o ought_v to_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v give_v we_o namely_o that_o god_n will_v guide_v we_o &_o defend_v we_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v overcome_v but_o we_o see_v how_o we_o be_v dismay_v every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o we_o have_v need_v to_o have_v god_n power_n show_v unto_o we_o to_o confirm_v we_o and_o to_o know_v that_o which_o

say_v afore_o be_v very_o true_a namely_o that_o god_n mean_v to_o teach_v the_o people_n of_o old_a time_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o they_o to_o discharge_v themselves_o before_o man_n or_o to_o escape_v blame_n and_o punishment_n here_o but_o y_o it_o they_o must_v look_v up_o high_o and_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n seat_n in_o heaven_n before_o the_o which_o we_o must_v one_o day_n answer_v and_o make_v our_o account_n that_o be_v the_o place_n whereon_o we_o must_v think_v if_o we_o will_v discharge_v ourselves_o of_o our_o duty_n for_o we_o may_v well_o beguile_v man_n in_o make_v a_o fair_a countenance_n and_o again_o we_o may_v so_o order_v our_o life_n as_o no_o man_n may_v find_v any_o fault_n in_o we_o as_o touch_v our_o outward_a deed_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n if_o our_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o wicked_a lust_n if_o it_o grieve_v we_o to_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n if_o we_o grate_v our_o tooth_n against_o god_n what_o obedience_n be_v that_o therefore_o let_v we_o note_v that_o whereas_o in_o this_o text_n it_o be_v say_v curse_v shall_v he_o be_v which_o smite_v his_o neighbour_n privy_o god_n condemn_v not_o only_o the_o fault_n that_o come_v to_o knowledge_n before_o man_n but_o also_o the_o crime_n that_o lie_v hide_v and_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n have_v live_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o can_v be_v rebuke_v of_o the_o world_n but_o rather_o be_v praise_v and_o commend_v he_o must_v not_o thereupon_o fall_v asleep_a but_o he_o must_v examine_v his_o heart_n and_o consider_v well_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o lurk_a hole_n or_o back_n nook_n there_o within_o for_o if_o the_o thought_n be_v evil_a although_o man_n perceive_v they_o not_o yet_o will_v god_n always_o do_v the_o office_n 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 humble_a us._n and_o in_o deed_n we_o ought_v to_o remember_v this_o other_o sentence_n of_o saint_n john_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o whosoever_o hate_v his_o neighbour_n privily_o 3.15_o 1._o john_n 3.15_o although_o he_o cloak_n his_o hatred_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o perceive_v or_o rather_o make_v a_o show_n of_o love_n that_o man_n fail_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v before_o god_n and_o so_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n let_v we_o not_o busy_a our_o head_n about_o man_n report_n although_o a_o man_n be_v well_o report_v of_o here_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o let_v he_o not_o flatter_v himself_o therefore_o but_o let_v he_o summon_v himself_o before_o god_n and_o consider_v whether_o he_o be_v faulty_a in_o his_o heart_n let_v not_o man_n bring_v hither_o their_o own_o opinion_n and_o fancy_n for_o all_o such_o thing_n shall_v be_v refuse_v they_o will_v serve_v to_o no_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o walk_v with_o unsayned_a heart_n before_o god_n for_o we_o know_v he_o regard_v not_o the_o outward_a appearance_n according_a as_o it_o be_v sade_n in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o samuel_n but_o he_o require_v the_o heart_n &_o truth_n as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o jeremy_n 3._o 1._o sam._n 16.7_o jer._n 5_o 3._o and_o look_v what_o be_v say_v here_o concern_v murder_n and_o fightinge_n the_o same_o must_v we_o extend_v to_o all_o other_o crime_n for_o if_o god_n call_v they_o to_o account_v which_o have_v do_v any_o outrage_n
to_o their_o neighbour_n although_o the_o same_o be_v unknowen_a to_o the_o world_n think_v we_o that_o robbery_n and_o treason_n and_o fraud_n and_o railing_n and_o slaundering_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n shall_v pass_v away_o unspoken_a of_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n eschew_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n nor_o escape_v his_o vengeance_n if_o we_o foster_v vice_n in_o our_o heart_n which_o be_v not_o apparent_a unto_o man_n and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o more_o benefit_n ourselves_o by_o this_o doctrine_n let_v every_o of_o we_o examine_v himself_o a_o right_n in_o his_o heart_n when_o he_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v reprove_v inward_o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o fourteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n every_o man_n i_o say_v must_v search_v his_o own_o thought_n and_o affection_n to_o the_o very_a bottom_n 14.25_o 1._o cor._n 14.25_o also_o it_o be_v the_o peculiar_a office_n of_o god_n word_n to_o be_v a_o sharp_a sword_n and_o to_o divide_v asunder_o our_o thought_n from_o all_o our_o affection_n and_o lykinge_n 4.12_o hebr_n 4.12_o and_o to_o enter_v even_o into_o the_o marrow_n of_o the_o bone_n and_o to_o leave_v nothing_o undiscovered_a see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o prevent_v god_n judgement_n and_o not_o tarry_v till_o he_o curse_v we_o and_o ban_v we_o for_o the_o guiltless_a blood_n which_o cry_v out_o against_o we_o but_o let_v every_o of_o we_o condemn_v himself_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v offend_v and_o let_v he_o be_v sorry_a in_o his_o heart_n and_o beseech_v god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n which_o be_v denounce_v against_o all_o such_o as_o have_v so_o misbehave_v themselves_o in_o secret_a and_o not_o be_v convict_v thereof_o before_o man_n it_o follow_v curse_v shall_v he_o be_v which_o shall_v have_v take_v gift_n to_o do_v any_o wrong_n to_o his_o neighbour_n and_o special_o to_o smite_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o innocent_a blood_n for_o so_o do_v moses_n speak_v word_n for_o word_n nevertheless_o the_o word_n soul_n mean_v life_n and_o because_o the_o blood_n be_v the_o proper_a seat_n of_o life_n therefore_o be_v it_o say_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o innocent_a blood_n sure_o although_o a_o man_n be_v faulty_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o buy_v &_o sell_v his_o life_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o god_n have_v set_v before_o we_o the_o crime_n that_o be_v most_o detestable_a to_o the_o intent_n to_o waken_v we_o the_o better_a because_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_o move_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o common_a fault_n for_o those_o thing_n slip_v away_o and_o we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v no_o hear_v matter_n to_o get_v forgiveness_n of_o they_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v so_o great_a slackness_n in_o man_n therefore_o in_o this_o place_n god_n have_v choose_v the_o offence_n which_o even_o of_o nature_n we_o ought_v to_o abhor_v for_o if_o the_o life_n of_o a_o innocent_a person_n be_v buy_v and_o sell_v it_o be_v a_o horrible_a matter_n every_o man_n will_v say_v that_o such_o wicked_a conspiracy_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suffer_v thus_o do_v we_o now_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o god_n but_o although_o this_o thing_n be_v sufficient_o condemn_v with_o full_a mouth_n yet_o do_v not_o man_n cease_v to_o put_v it_o too_o much_o in_o ure_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o look_v upon_o the_o practice_n that_o be_v wrought_v continual_o to_o oppress_v the_o poor_a and_o simple_a sort_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o always_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o have_v their_o throat_n cut_v but_o yet_o for_o hurt_v of_o they_o what_o in_o their_o person_n and_o what_o in_o their_o good_n man_n be_v still_o guilty_a of_o murder_n before_o god_n and_o as_o for_o the_o seek_n of_o byway_n to_o disappoint_v the_o right_n of_o the_o innocent_a and_o the_o practise_v of_o device_n against_o such_o as_o seek_v to_o live_v in_o peace_n and_o concord_n it_o be_v too_o common_a a_o thing_n and_o therefore_o this_o law_n be_v no_o more_o than_o need_v true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o at_o the_o first_o push_n we_o can_v wellynough_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v continue_v in_o so_o great_a and_o so_o excessive_a frowardness_n every_o man_n will_v say_v by_o and_o by_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n but_o yet_o the_o common_a use_n and_o custom_n be_v clean_a contrary_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o namely_o that_o god_n can_v abide_v so_o great_a a_o crime_n unpunished_a as_o the_o disappoint_a of_o the_o right_n whereby_o the_o party_n that_o have_v not_o offend_v shall_v be_v oppress_v against_o all_o right_a and_o reason_n and_o true_o god_n speak_v here_o as_o well_o of_o judge_n that_o have_v be_v corrupt_v to_o oppress_v a_o poor_a man_n as_o of_o those_o that_o have_v sell_v themselves_o or_o have_v set_v themselves_o to_o hire_v to_o murder_v beat_v or_o strike_v man_n as_o these_o square_n ruffian_n do_v which_o seek_v to_o be_v set_v a_o work_n in_o beat_v man_n or_o in_o quarrel_v with_o they_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o offender_n have_v god_n utter_o condemn_v in_o this_o text_n and_o under_o one_o particular_a he_o comprehend_v general_o all_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o and_o so_o the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v be_v that_o covetousness_n must_v not_o lead_v we_o to_o hurt_v any_o man_n at_o all_o we_o see_v now_o that_o this_o doctrine_n extend_v itself_o very_o far_o for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o commit_n of_o so_o many_o cousinage_n oppression_n outrage_n and_o injury_n but_o only_o the_o seek_n of_o self_n profit_n i_o will_v fain_o pleasure_v a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o authority_n because_o that_o to_o my_o seem_n he_o be_v able_a to_o requite_v i_o again_o and_o hereupon_o i_o for_o his_o sake_n do_v fall_v to_o oppress_v one_o and_o to_o torment_v another_o and_o afterward_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o unless_o i_o use_v other_o manner_n of_o deal_n so_o as_o the_o matter_n grow_v to_o be_v endless_a &_o out_o of_o all_o measure_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o mark_v well_o this_o doctrine_n where_o it_o be_v say_v curse_v shall_v he_o be_v which_o take_v reward_n to_o do_v man_n wrong_v and_o hereunto_o answer_v that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o fifteen_o psalm_n 15.5_o psal._n 15.5_o namely_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v god_n household_n folk_n and_o dwell_v in_o his_o church_n we_o must_v beware_v of_o take_v reward_n to_o hurt_v the_o guiltless_a if_o god_n banish_v all_o such_o out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o from_o the_o company_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o have_v go_v about_o to_o misbehave_v themselves_o after_o that_o fashion_n by_o set_v themselves_o to_o sale_n and_o hire_n through_o their_o covetousness_n what_o remain_v for_o they_o but_o utter_a cursednesse_n for_o when_o god_n once_o disclaym_v we_o &_o acknowledge_v we_o no_o long_o for_o any_o of_o he_o needs_o must_v we_o be_v accurse_v wherein_o lie_v all_o our_o happiness_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 33.12_o 〈◊〉_d 33.12_o right_o happy_a be_v those_o folk_n who_o god_n be_v the_o everlasting_a the_o way_n then_o for_o we_o to_o be_v happy_a be_v to_o be_v take_v of_o god_n into_o his_o flock_n and_o if_o he_o cast_v we_o out_o needs_o must_v all_o mischief_n light_n upon_o our_o head_n sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o restrain_v ourselves_o and_o let_v every_o of_o we_o be_v content_v with_o that_o which_o he_o have_v and_o let_v we_o not_o seek_v to_o advance_v ourselves_o by_o unlawefull_a mean_n lest_o the_o profit_n which_o we_o have_v grype_v to_o
