heaven_n but_o their_o full_a portion_n he_o reserve_v for_o they_o till_o they_o come_v to_o heaven_n and_o true_o the_o portion_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v very_o great_a god_n be_v the_o

now_o to_o give_v the_o practical_a observation_n which_o flow_v from_o hence_o for_o our_o edification_n and_o first_o of_o all_o i_o observe_v from_o henc_a the_o transcendent_a excellency_n of_o savin_a faith_n by_o faith_n moses_n do_v thus_o and_o thus_o second_o i_o note_v from_o hence_o than_o the_o condition_n of_o god_n child_n in_o this_o life_n be_v a_o afflict_a condition_n three_o i_o observe_v likewise_o from_o hence_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v rather_o suffer_v any_o affliction_n than_o commit_v the_o least_o sin_n it_o be_v better_a to_o suffer_v than_o sin_n

yea_o as_o the_o text_n sweet_o express_v if_o be_v great_a riches_n than_o all_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o last_o i_o observe_v from_o hence_o that_o god_n have_v a_o

you_o may_v see_v all_o along_o this_o whole_a chapter_n first_o it_o bring_v the_o people_n of_o god_n into_o a_o good_a report_n by_o faith_n our_o service_n become_v acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n by_o faith_n noah_n be_v warn_v of_o god_n prepare_v the_o ark_n to_o the_o save_n of_o his_o house_n and_o thereby_o become_v a_o heir_n of_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n abraham_n forsake_v his_o country_n for_o by_o faith_n he_o see_v the_o heavenly_a city_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o he_o and_o all_o along_o the_o whole_a chapter_n you_o may_v see_v the_o excellency_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o several_a effect_n of_o it_o in_o the_o faithful_a saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n who_o of_o all_o other_o best_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o worthy_n who_o through_o faith_n subdue_v kingdom_n wrought_v righteousness_n obtain_v promise_n stop_v

to_o second_o point_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o condition_n of_o god_n child_n in_o this_o life_n be_v a_o afflict_a condition_n god_n have_v but_o one_o son_n without_o sin_n but_o god_n have_v never_o a_o son_n without_o affliction_n our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o be_v not_o free_a from_o affliction_n nay_o he_o be_v despise_v and_o reject_v of_o man_n a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n and_o acquaint_v with_o grief_n he_o be_v oppress_v and_o he_o be_v afflict_v isa_n 53.3_o 7._o the_o prophet_n they_o be_v afflict_v and_o imprison_v and_o slay_v likewise_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a christian_n as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o this_o chapter_n where_o my_o text_n be_v heb._n 11._o they_o be_v stone_v saw_v asunder_o cruel_o scourge_v and_o imprison_v yea_o as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v many_o be_v the_o affliction_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o the_o lord_n deliver_v they_o out_o of_o they_o all_o psal_n 34.19_o our_o saviour_n tell_v his_o disciple_n what_o they_o must_v look_v for_o in_o the_o world_n at_o his_o departure_n from_o they_o if_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o say_v our_o saviour_n john_n 17.18_o 19_o you_o know_v that_o it_o hate_v i_o before_o it_o hate_v you_o if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v his_o own_o but_o because_o you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n that_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o remember_v the_o word_n that_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o the_o servant_n be_v not_o great_a than_o their_o lord_n if_o they_o have_v persecute_v i_o they_o will_v also_o persecute_v you_o and_o all_o these_o thing_n will_v they_o do_v unto_o you_o for_o my_o name_n sake_n yea_o say_v the_o holy_a apostle_n st._n paul_n reckon_v up_o his_o manifold_a persecution_n in_o 2_o tim._n 3.12_o all_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n many_o more_o scripture_n i_o may_v give_v you_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o excellent_a truth_n but_o these_o i_o hope_v may_v suffice_v this_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n have_v bear_v testimony_n unto_o with_o their_o blood_n nay_o this_o truth_n be_v so_o clear_a that_o it_o even_o may_v be_v read_v by_o the_o light_n of_o these_o fire_n in_o which_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n suffer_v death_n those_o glorious_a fire_n which_o ever_o burn_v fresh_a in_o the_o memory_n of_o god_n people_n even_o those_o fiery_a chariot_n which_o carry_v out_o heavenly_a elijah_n our_o bless_a martyr_n to_o heaven_n in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o three_o observation_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v this_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v rather_o suffer_v any_o affliction_n than_o sin_n this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o joseph_n who_o rather_o than_o he_o will_v commit_v folly_n with_o his_o mistress_n rather_o than_o sin_n against_o god_n he_o will_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o all_o affliction_n how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n gen._n 39.9_o and_o this_o truth_n be_v most_o eminent_o confirm_v by_o holy_a job_n who_o rather_o than_o he_o will_v curse_v god_n and_o die_v will_v willing_o with_o patience_n undergo_v all_o his_o affliction_n job_n undergo_v all_o affliction_n and_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o all_o this_o job_n sin_v not_o let_v god_n afflict_v say_v job_n i_o will_v suffer_v with_o patience_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o please_v my_o affliction_n shall_v never_o move_v i_o to_o forsake_v my_o god_n though_o god_n afflict_v i_o all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o life_n yet_o will_v i_o wait_v with_o patience_n till_o my_o change_n come_v and_o in_o the_o thirteen_o chayter_n he_o resolve_v though_o god_n shall_v kill_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v trust_v in_o he_o so_o likewise_o we_o find_v a_o eminent_a example_n for_o this_o in_o holy_a daniel_n as_o you_o may_v read_v dan._n 6.14_o 15_o 16._o daniel_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v sin_v against_o god_n in_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n by_o prayer_n will_v suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lion_n den_n so_o likewise_o the_o three_o child_n in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o daniel_n

and_o by_o they_o question_v for_o do_v their_o duty_n namely_o for_o preach_v the_o gospel_n you_o will_v find_v in_o the_o 29._o ver_n that_o st._n peter_n and_o the_o other_o apostle_n answer_v and_o say_v we_o ought_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n and_o after_o that_o when_o they_o be_v beat_v and_o command_v not_o to_o preach_v any_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n what_o do_v the_o apostle_n do_v do_v they_o obey_v no._n they_o rejoice_v that_o they_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v shame_n for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n that_o daily_o in_o the_o temple_n and_o in_o every_o house_n they_o cease_v not_o to_o teach_v and_o to_o preach_v jesus_n christ_n several_a other_o instance_n i_o may_v give_v you_o but_o i_o proceed_v in_o the_o next_o place_n the_o next_o thing_n considerable_a be_v the_o eminency_n of_o moses_n faith_n in_o the_o 24_o 25_o 26._o verse_n by_o faith_n moses_n when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o year_n refuse_v to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o pharaoh_n daughter_n where_o by_o the_o way_n observe_v that_o it_o be_v more_o honour_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n than_o to_o be_v a_o courtier_n it_o be_v more_o honourable_a to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o grace_n and_o adoption_n than_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o great_a monarch_n or_o

may_v take_v their_o pedigree_n from_o king_n and_o monarch_n and_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v all_o descend_v from_o he_o who_o be_v king_n of_o

here_o likewise_o we_o may_v observe_v what_o low_a thought_n christian_n ought_v to_o have_v of_o every_o thing_n be_v it_o never_o so_o honourable_a in_o comparison_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o have_v be_v a_o honour_n yes_o a_o exceed_o great_a honour_n if_o we_o may_v account_v worldly_a greatness_n and_o honour_n for_o moses_n to_o have_v be_v repute_v the_o son_n of_o pharaoh_n

to_o go_v in_o and_o out_o before_o his_o people_n israel_n but_o i_o proceed_v now_o the_o eminency_n of_o moses_n faith_n you_o may_v see_v in_o these_o follow_a particular_n first_o moses_n here_o
