that_o be_v y_fw-fr e_o best_a mean_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o observe_v the_o law_n i_o mean_v so_o far_o as_o our_o weakness_n will_v suffer_v for_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o

to_o the_o intent_n his_o word_n shall_v be_v receive_v with_o the_o great_a reverence_n for_o when_o we_o see_v but_o mortal_a man_n as_o we_o be_v we_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o what_o soever_o

word_n of_o god_n be_v oftentimes_o little_o esteem_v for_o when_o we_o see_v none_o speak_v but_o creature_n like_v unto_o ourselves_o we_o think_v that_o y_z t_z which_o they_o pronounce_v be_v nothing_o but_o a_o sound_n of_o word_n but_o god_n will_v have_v the_o majesty_n of_o his_o word_n to_o be_v know_v &_o although_o man_n bring_v it_o and_o be_v the_o messenger_n thereof_o yet_o will_v he_o not_o have_v the_o worthiness_n thereof_o to_o be_v diminish_v so_o as_o man_n shall_v not_o give_v audience_n unto_o it_o but_o he_o will_v have_v every_o man_n to_o stoop_v to_o it_o and_o to_o receive_v the_o yoke_n which_o he_o put_v upon_o they_o god_n therefore_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o moses_n and_o by_o the_o priest_n but_o yet_o in_o such_o a_o language_n and_o kind_n of_o speech_n that_o he_o will_v have_v people_n to_o lift_v up_o their_o mind_n more_o high_a and_o to_o know_v that_o although_o they_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o mean_a and_o ministry_n of_o man_n yet_o they_o ought_v to_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o word_n which_o man_n preach_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o receyve_v it_o as_o from_o god_n himself_o &_o so_o be_v silent_a to_o hear_v it_o and_o make_v no_o reply_n or_o gaynsay_n against_o it_o for_o such_o contempt_n be_v not_o do_v to_o a_o mortal_a creature_n but_o god_n himself_o be_v despise_v by_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o note_v well_o all_o the_o place_n whereby_o god_n authorise_v his_o word_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o hold_v ourselves_o unto_o it_o and_o to_o be_v order_v thereby_o so_o as_o every_o of_o we_o do_v bow_v down_o his_o head_n as_o often_o as_o man_n speak_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o moreover_o we_o see_v

this_o common_a order_n with_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n may_v well_o protest_v that_o they_o be_v christian_n but_o they_o come_v to_o the_o church_n as_o holy_a as_o horse_n bear_v

have_v man_n to_o be_v rule_v thereby_o this_o be_v allege_v to_o the_o papist_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v not_o follow_v their_o own_o lyking_n but_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o bridle_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o god_n have_v lay_v it_o upon_o we_o and_o bear_v his_o yoke_n quiet_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o will_v needs_o serve_v god_n after_o their_o own_o imagination_n as_o we_o

i_o think_v that_o this_o be_v good_a thus_o be_v we_o teach_v by_o our_o father_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o they_o do_v flat_o resist_v god_n mouth_n they_o will_v not_o stick_v afterward_o to_o

nowadays_o among_o a_o number_n of_o man_n in_o deed_n the_o word_n gospel_n co_v they_o nothing_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o god_n say_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o there_o every_o man_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v a_o
perfection_n and_o so_o to_o be_v short_a all_o our_o fight_n come_v of_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n work_v not_o in_o we_o as_o in_o log_n or_o

and_o although_o we_o have_v be_v let_v and_o draw_v away_o yet_o must_v we_o take_v courage_n to_o enforce_v ourselves_o that_o god_n may_v work_v in_o we_o as_o in_o his_o instrument_n to_o be_v short_a the_o battle_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v painful_a enough_o but_o yet_o for_o all_o y_fw-mi it_o we_o must_v come_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v by_o we_o

for_o we_o let_v not_o all_o this_o abash_v we_o nor_o make_v we_o to_o step_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n for_o why_o see_v that_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n what_o a_o shame_n be_v it_o to_o

that_o he_o will_v no_o more_o fail_v you_o hereafter_o to_o be_v short_a then_o to_o confirm_v this_o people_n withal_o moses_n allege_v here_o the_o experience_n of_o god_n favour_n which_o they_o have_v have_v and_o although_o this_o point_n have_v be_v treat_v of_o heretofore_o yet_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v repeat_v again_o by_o moses_n i_o must_v needs_o rehearse_v it_o again_o and_o

and_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o warrant_n that_o he_o will_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n for_o he_o be_v not_o like_o mortal_a man_n which_o alter_v and_o change_v their_o

pleasure_n he_o will_v perchance_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v as_o much_o for_o he_o the_o second_o time_n but_o if_o his_o friend_n make_v none_o end_n he_o will_v be_v weary_a of_o he_o for_o he_o may_v say_v he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v for_o all_o man_n and_o that_o he_o have_v other_o friend_n who_o he_o must_v do_v for_o as_o well_o as_o for_o he_o again_o we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v

to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v this_o present_a life_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v so_o in_o go_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n i_o say_v that_o even_o in_o all_o our_o worldly_a affair_n we_o ought_v to_o do_v god_n so_o much_o honour_n as_o not_o to_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o we_o nor_o to_o range_v here_o and_o there_o without_o have_v first_o ask_v counsel_n at_o his_o mouth_n as_o he_o say_v by_o his_o prophet_n esay_n 30.2_o 〈◊〉_d 30.2_o and_o until_o he_o have_v order_v all_o our_o devise_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n when_o we_o have_v any_o business_n to_o do_v although_o it_o be_v not_o of_o any_o great_a importance_n yet_o ought_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n with_o all_o lowelinesse_n and_o not_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n till_o our_o conscience_n be_v thorough_o settle_v and_o resolve_v that_o he_o allow_v our_o do_n now_o if_o god_n look_v to_o be_v obey_v in_o small_a thing_n &_o which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o nothing_o what_o will_v he_o do_v when_o the_o matter_n concern_v his_o service_n and_o when_o y_z e_z case_n concern_v so_o excellent_a a_o thing_n as_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n therefore_o we_o see_v herein_o how_o sore_o the_o wretched_a world_n be_v blind_v see_v they_o give_v themselves_o to_o their_o own_o folly_n &_o to_o man_n tradition_n and_o think_v not_o at_o all_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v ordain_v no_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o last_o thing_n y_z t_o they_o will_v do_v and_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o on_o hand_n to_o

&_o follow_v it_o when_o we_o have_v do_v without_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o it_o or_o diminish_v any_o thing_n from_o it_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o strain_n now_o herewithal_o moses_n threaten_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v overcome_v of_o their_o enemy_n and_o fall_v before_o they_o whereby_o we_o be_v do_v to_o understand_v that_o if_o god_n be_v
give_v we_o such_o power_n to_o resist_v he_o as_o we_o may_v have_v victory_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n of_o mosese_n furthermore_o where_o as_o he_o say_v that_o god_n lead_v his_o people_n about_o by_o the_o space_n of_o eight_o and_o thirty_o year_n until_o such_o time_n as_o all_o those_o that_o be_v able_a to_o

execute_v the_o vengeance_n which_o he_o have_v threaten_v to_o his_o people_n and_o as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v a_o very_a profitable_a lesson_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o tremble_v at_o god_n threaten_n as_o well_o as_o to_o be_v move_v at_o his_o promise_n such_o be_v our_o nature_n that_o when_o god_n promise_v we_o any_o thing_n we_o fall_v to_o scan_n and_o dispute_v of_o it_o so_o as_o we_o can_v rest_v upon_o it_o to_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o we_o can_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o will_v confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n but_o as_o for_o to_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o it_o we_o will_v none_o of_o that_o unless_o his_o truth_n be_v well_o seal_v and_o warrant_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o too_o we_o be_v so_o incline_v to_o distrust_n that_o we_o draw_v still_o back_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n promise_v we_o so_o brutish_a and_o dulheaded_a be_v we_o and_o this_o appear_v yet_o more_o when_o he_o threaten_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o his_o judgement_n and_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o he_o be_v provoke_v the_o threaten_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n but_o have_v their_o effect_n and_o performance_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o purpose_n moses_n rehearse_v again_o that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v above_o twenty_o year_n old_a at_o the_o time_n that_o the_o people_n murmur_v be_v consume_v and_o that_o not_o by_o casualty_n but_o according_a to_o the_o lord_n own_o say_n and_o this_o be_v to_o assure_v the_o people_n yet_o more_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v perceive_v that_o god_n threaten_v of_o they_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o herewith_o all_o let_v we_o also_o call_v to_o remembrance_n that_o god_n can_v abide_v that_o man_n shall_v despise_v and_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v and_o let_v occasion_n slip_v for_o if_o he_o open_v the_o gate_n and_o man_n will_v not_o enter_v he_o can_v bear_v with_o that_o negligence_n of_o they_o match_v with_o disobedience_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o god_n be_v so_o provoke_v to_o anger_n that_o he_o swear_v that_o all_o the_o carkeise_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v rot_v in_o the_o wilderness_n 14.31_o num._n 14.31_o and_o that_o he_o use_v so_o sharp_a word_n unto_o they_o it_o be_v for_o that_o they_o have_v refuse_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o we_o see_v then_o that_o unthankfulness_n provoke_v god_n vengeance_n against_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a special_o when_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o he_o offer_v we_o and_o that_o such_o refusal_n proceed_v of_o wilfulness_n and_o malice_n which_o happen_v in_o manner_n continual_o for_o what_o make_v we_o so_o loath_a to_o receive_v the_o good_a turn_n that_o god_n will_v do_v we_o but_o our_o own_o unbelief_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o think_v not_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o we_o but_o rather_o fall_v to_o reason_v what_o will_v become_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o man_n shall_v never_o bereave_v themselves_o of_o god_n benefit_n but_o through_o their_o own_o distrust_n wherefore_o it_o stand_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o on_o hand_n to_o endeavour_v to_o believe_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o our_o god_n and_o to_o receive_v his_o say_n pure_o and_o simple_o and_o to_o yield_v unto_o they_o without_o any_o gainsay_n lo_o whereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v now_o as_o concern_v the_o time_n true_a it_o be_v that_o god_n can_v have_v destroy_v they_o all_o at_o the_o first_o day_n which_o provoke_v he_o so_o to_o anger_n he_o can_v have_v send_v a_o angel_n to_o have_v make_v

better_o by_o his_o correction_n and_o judgement_n in_o process_n of_o time_n than_o if_o he_o shall_v punish_v we_o out_o of_o hand_n and_o away_o indeed_o in_o our_o own_o imagination_n we_o have_v

they_o have_v their_o delight_n sport_n and_o triumph_n at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o that_o be_v to_o try_v our_o patience_n nevertheless_o sometime_o god_n set_v they_o languish_v as_o well_o as_o

our_o desire_n to_o follow_v god_n commandment_n than_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o rough_o with_o we_o ne_o overpress_v we_o not_o behold_v god_n can_v rein_v we_o with_o a_o streite_z

we_o as_o a_o father_n do_v his_o child_n see_v then_o y_z t_z he_o do_v so_o bear_v with_o we_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v to_o do_v as_o he_o appoint_v we_o yes_o so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n commandment_n be_v hard_a unto_o we_o or_o at_o leastwise_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o do_v not_o press_v we_o so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v nothing_o near_o for_o if_o god_n list_v to_o use_v his_o right_n with_o extremity_n we_o shall_v be_v torment_v out_o of_o all_o measure_n therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o that_o he_o use_v more_o than_o fatherly_a goodness_n in_o that_o behalf_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v unpossible_a unto_o we_o 7.14.15_o ro._n 7.14.15_o insomuch_o that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o unable_a to_o observe_v it_o throughout_o but_o also_o if_o a_o man_n will_v of_o his_o own_o natural_a power_n discharge_v himself_o to_o godward_o he_o can_v

well_o about_o they_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n bear_v with_o they_o as_o a_o father_n that_o pity_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v thankful_a and_o to_o be_v

after_o once_o and_o here_o the_o people_n say_v we_o have_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o if_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o again_o we_o die_v for_o it_o we_o be_v undo_v we_o be_v forlorn_v it_o

let_v they_o continue_v in_o their_o strength_n but_o we_o must_v mark_v how_o the_o people_n show_v here_o that_o they_o will_v not_o try_v god_n any_o further_a and_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o to_o have_v have_v that_o one_o experience_n that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n invent_v by_o man_n but_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v take_v as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v thus_o this_o day_n have_v we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v speak_v to_o man_n and_o they_o remain_v still_o alive_a that_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o we_o intend_v not_o to_o abuse_v god_n patience_n in_o this_o case_n he_o have_v spare_v we_o to_o day_n but_o we_o must_v not_o look_v y_fw-fr t_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o ever_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o trial_n for_o this_o once_o &_o that_o be_v because_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o lewdness_n &_o hardness_n of_o our_o heart_n for_o be_v we_o worthy_a to_o have_v he_o appear_v to_o we_o in_o his_o glory_n no_o but_o he_o

be_v at_o our_o wit_n end_n therefore_o if_o he_o have_v not_o win_v we_o so_o by_o force_n he_o know_v well_o that_o we_o will_v have_v be_v always_o as_o wild_a beast_n but_o see_v it_o have_v

our_o mate_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o these_o two_o saying_n agree_v very_o well_o now_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o note_v y_z t_z although_o god_n word_n be_v of_o force_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o

it_o follow_v that_o he_o will_v not_o forget_v we_o but_o that_o when_o we_o have_v finish_v our_o race_n in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v be_v gather_v up_o unto_o he_o to_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n

that_o man_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o god_n but_o man_n mind_n be_v set_v upon_o their_o lust_n and_o pleasure_n or_o else_o they_o seek_v for_o wealth_n god_n then_o be_v not_o account_v of_o &_o therefore_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o revenge_v such_o contempt_n and_o so_o do_v he_o as_o experience_n show_v so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v say_v in_o this_o

they_o may_v be_v bring_v into_o y_o e_o body_n of_o god_n church_n this_o be_v a_o ground_n therefore_o y_z t_z when_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o take_v a_o wife_n he_o must_v look_v y_z t_o she_o be_v

upon_o her_o head_n and_o where_o as_o this_o tell_v we_o concern_v wedlock_n let_v we_o understande_v it_o likewise_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o may_v thrust_v we_o out_o of_o our_o way_n and_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v conversant_a with_o such_o companion_n that_o we_o may_v ever_o be_v edify_v still_o to_o the_o better_a for_o we_o have_v need_n of_o such_o folk_n as_o may_v

a_o holy_a &_o honest_a life_n &_o let_v we_o shun_v such_o as_o go_v about_o to_o entangle_v we_o in_o their_o abomination_n when_o we_o see_v a_o malicious_a and_o froward_a person_n a_o despyser_n of_o god_n or_o a_o lusty_a gallant_a that_o pass_v not_o to_o be_v a_o offence_n to_o all_o man_n let_v we_o esteem_v he_o as_o a_o plague_n and_o let_v we_o utter_o eschew_v he_o for_o why_o whosoever_o come_v nigh_o he_o shall_v sure_o be_v infect_v by_o he_o out_o of_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v apparent_a so_o then_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n that_o here_o our_o lord_n intend_v to_o show_v that_o we_o must_v haunt_v such_o company_n as_o be_v fit_a to_o teach_v we_o to_o do_v well_o and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o must_v shun_v all_o occasion_n of_o

two_o part_n the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o a_o offender_n be_v execute_v by_o order_n of_o law_n man_n must_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o the_o hang_n of_o his_o body_n why_o so_o for_o a_o witness_n that_o his_o death_n be_v a_o thing_n neither_o against_o god_n nor_o against_o right_n but_o rather_o that_o for_o the_o maintain_n of_o civil_a government_n among_o mankind_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o misdeed_n shall_v be_v punish_v as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o that_o the_o evil_n must_v be_v root_v out_o from_o among_o the_o people_n and_o the_o second_o part_n be_v that_o the_o dead_a body_n for_o all_o that_o shall_v not_o hang_v upon_o the_o gibbet_n above_o one_o day_n because_o it_o strake_v a_o horror_n into_o man_n and_o make_v they_o dismay_v to_o see_v a_o man_n body_n so_o

be_v bury_v in_o deed_n it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o law_n be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o at_o this_o day_n we_o be_v no_o more_o bind_v to_o it_o than_o to_o the_o ceremony_n it_o be_v now_o set_v at_o liberty_n but_o yet_o do_v the_o doctrine_n thereof_o continue_v still_o the_o use_n of_o the_o law_n be_v utter_o abolish_v but_o yet_o must_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n wherefore_o god_n command_v it_o and_o apply_v the_o same_o to_o our_o learning_n first_o of_o all_o than_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n to_o put_v a_o

the_o sword_n of_o justice_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v do_v and_o we_o must_v not_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o unkindly_a thing_n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o fault_n shall_v escape_v unpunished_a it_o be_v better_o for_o we_o to_o be_v wild_a beast_n so_o then_o see_v that_o mankind_n can_v be_v maintain_v but_o by_o rigour_n of_o justice_n and_o by_o the_o punish_n of_o such_o as_o have_v disturb_v the_o common_a order_n it_o must_v not_o be_v take_v for_o cruelty_n or_o for_o a_o deface_v of_o god_n image_n when_o a_o man_n be_v put_v to_o death_n all_o such_o manner_n of_o allegation_n must_v be_v set_v aside_o for_o god_n himself_o speak_v and_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o little_a ashamed_a to_o put_v a_o offender_n to_o death_n that_o his_o

out_o the_o person_n that_o be_v a_o disturber_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o to_o cut_v off_o those_o as_o rot_a member_n which_o may_v mar_v all_o the_o residue_n that_o the_o rest_n may_v abide_v in_o safety_n to_o be_v short_a we_o have_v here_o a_o maintenance_n of_o the_o justice_n that_o be_v execute_v by_o magistrate_n in_o punish_v man_n fault_n and_o misdeed_n even_o unto_o the_o death_n justice_n be_v not_o to_o be_v abhor_v or_o mislike_v because_o a_o man_n be_v send_v to_o the_o gallows_n well_o may_v we_o be_v afraid_a when_o we_o see_v such_o example_n before_o we_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o also_o commend_v and_o reverence_v justice_n for_o why_o you_o see_v here_o how_o god_n allow_v and_o uphold_v the_o punish_n of_o offender_n as_o a_o thing_n acceptable_a to_o he_o and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o very_a heaven_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n thereof_o by_o hang_v up_o the_o body_n upon_o a_o gibbet_n and_o he_o will_v have_v all_o the_o element_n to_o be_v there_o also_o to_o say_v no_o no_o you_o must_v not_o spare_v they_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o this_o execution_n shall_v be_v do_v and_o command_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o you_o ought_v to_o

i_o tell_v you_o this_o be_v a_o lesson_n very_o behooveful_a for_o we_o in_o these_o day_n although_o this_o law_n be_v but_o for_o the_o outward_a man_n yet_o be_v it_o god_n will_n that_o the_o

moses_n fail_v not_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o order_n insomuch_o that_o whensoever_o any_o man_n be_v execute_v by_o justice_n it_o be_v set_v forth_o for_o a_o example_n whereby_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o god_n have_v grave_v this_o principle_n in_o man_n heart_n that_o the_o execution_n which_o be_v do_v by_o person_n of_o authority_n and_o by_o such_o as_o be_v in_o office_n &_o have_v the_o charge_n commit_v unto_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v evil_a speak_v of_o but_o rather_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o commend_v they_o for_o obey_v god_n and_o for_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o

among_o christian_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n because_o the_o like_a rigour_n be_v not_o as_o be_v under_o y_o e_o law_n very_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v change_v his_o mind_n and_o resign_v his_o office_n for_o we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n for_o ever_o and_o although_o he_o reserve_v the_o execution_n of_o that_o office_n till_o the_o last_o judgement_n and_o have_v commit_v that_o charge_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o be_v it_o his_o will_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o resemblance_n of_o justice_n even_o in_o this_o earthly_a life_n true_a it_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o come_v to_o perfection_n here_o and_o that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v condemn_v at_o the_o

looseness_n to_o reign_v so_o as_o man_n may_v do_v what_o they_o listen_v and_o all_o crime_n escape_v unpunished_a therefore_o his_o will_n be_v that_o vengeance_n shall_v be_v execute_v by_o those_o into_o who_o hand_n he_o have_v put_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n as_o say_v s._n paul_n in_o the_o thirteen_o to_o the_o roman_n where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o god_n arm_v of_o they_o after_o that_o sort_n be_v not_o for_o naught_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v but_o as_o a_o shadow_n to_o scar_n babe_n and_o to_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o power_n but_o he_o will_v

god_n have_v show_v by_o this_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n that_o all_o the_o element_n of_o the_o world_n accept_v it_o and_o allow_v of_o it_o as_o witness_n to_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o body_n hang_v in_o the_o air_n be_v as_o a_o solemn_a record_n that_o such_o execution_n be_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v neither_o ought_v the_o magistrate_n to_o be_v desirous_a to_o

thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o point_n now_o there_o be_v also_o a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o the_o body_n must_v not_o hang_v in_o the_o air_n above_o one_o day_n and_o that_o be_v

life_n and_o this_o world_n let_v we_o mount_v up_o one_o step_n high_o and_o not_o doubt_v but_o he_o have_v a_o far_o great_a care_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o he_o show_v by_o experience_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o rest_v bold_o upon_o he_o and_o not_o doubt_v but_o we_o shall_v be_v preserve_v if_o we_o abide_v under_o his_o protection_n and_o play_v not_o the_o loose_a coulte_n but_o

that_o all_o the_o offering_n which_o we_o make_v unto_o god_n must_v be_v pure_a and_o clean_a if_o this_o be_v require_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n we_o ought_v well_o to_o practice_v the_o

the_o prophet_n in_o that_o place_n treat_v of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o show_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n at_o the_o come_n of_o

which_o be_v in_o many_o but_o if_o we_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o learn_v y_o it_o which_o our_o lord_n teach_v we_o as_o we_o shall_v we_o need_v not_o many_o sermon_n &_o huge_a volume_n to_o

shall_v be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o sin_n but_o therewithal_o he_o say_v how_o that_o if_o a_o man_n abstain_v from_o vow_v and_o vow_v not_o at_o all_o he_o commit_v no_o evil_a so_o as_o god_n will_v not_o bind_v man_n thereto_o but_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o they_o accomplish_v their_o vow_n and_o that_o if_o they_o will_v vow_v nothing_o he_o will_v not_o charge_v they_o for_o it_o now_o let_v we_o note_v that_o whereas_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o of_o vow_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v indifferent_o of_o any_o thing_n which_o a_o man_n shall_v listen_v to_o promise_v at_o random_n and_o without_o discretion_n for_o it_o be_v say_v when_o thou_o vowe_v a_o vow_n unto_o the_o lord_n thy_o god._n we_o must_v therefore_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o the_o party_n with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o

his_o name_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o to_o make_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o be_v teach_v at_o his_o mouth_n and_o to_o be_v more_o and_o more_o confirm_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n we_o ought_v i_o say_v to_o esteem_v this_o treasure_n and_o to_o exercise_v ourselves_o therein_o now_o then_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o stock_n of_o abraham_n he_o will_v have_v the_o jew_n to_o acknowledge_v it_o for_o a_o excellent_a dignity_n that_o they_o be_v bless_v in_o such_o wise_a above_o the_o rest_n of_o all_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o note_v that_o as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o this_o be_v in_o favour_n of_o their_o chief_a head_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v 3.16_o gen_n â—5_n 5_o gal._n 3.16_o in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v

although_o he_o be_v abraham_n son_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o be_v esau_n also_o therefore_o when_o a_o stock_n be_v name_v we_o must_v understand_v a_o body_n and_o a_o body_n presuppose_v a_o head_n so_o then_o let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o dignity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o abraham_n have_v his_o root_n and_o foundation_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o therefore_o whereas_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o the_o family_n and_o kindred_n shall_v be_v maintain_v it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o intent_n the_o jew_n shall_v place_v their_o whole_a nobility_n in_o this_o world_n to_o busy_v themselves_o there_o but_o he_o mean_v rather_o to_o turn_v their_o mind_n unto_o he_o who_o be_v promise_v to_o be_v their_o redeemer_n and_o to_o make_v they_o know_v that_o because_o he_o shall_v come_v of_o their_o race_n and_o their_o lineage_n they_o ought_v by_o great_a reason_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o that_o benefit_n which_o he_o bring_v unto_o they_o and_o so_o this_o law_n serve_v to_o direct_v the_o jew_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n hereby_o that_o god_n have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o this_o bond_n of_o one_o body_n because_o of_o the_o head_n which_o he_o have_v ordain_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o albeit_o the_o order_n which_o be_v use_v in_o old_a time_n under_o the_o

jesus_n christ_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n god_n ordain_v that_o law_n in_o favour_n of_o he_o let_v we_o therefore_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o in_o these_o day_n ought_v to_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o this_o place_n to_o maintain_v ourselves_o by_o raise_v up_o spiritual_a seed_n in_o israel_n not_o in_o the_o visible_a israel_n or_o that_o which_o be_v according_a to_o nature_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v his_o reach_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n we_o know_v that_o nowadays_o the_o child_n must_v not_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n â—â—_o john_n â—_o â—â—_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o s._n john_n but_o of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o only_a grace_n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v pain_n and_o enforce_v ourselves_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n to_o raise_v up_o this_o spiritual_a seed_n unto_o god_n that_o the_o church_n may_v be_v preserve_v and_o increase_v more_o &_o more_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n now_o by_o the_o way_n we_o see_v what_o uprightness_n ought_v to_o be_v use_v in_o bond_n for_o because_o the_o woman_n for_o their_o part_n be_v bind_v in_o such_o wise_a it_o be_v requisite_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o mutual_a bond_n also_o on_o the_o man_n side_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o y_o e_o one_o party_n shall_v be_v bind_v and_o the_o other_o leave_v in_o in_o full_a liberty_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o be_v warn_v in_o this_o place_n that_o if_o two_o party_n do_v contract_n or_o covenant_n together_o the_o one_o must_v not_o be_v greeve_v &_o the_o other_o bear_v withal_o for_o that_o be_v unjust_a and_o against_o all_o reason_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o apply_v this_o unto_o all_o contract_n covenant_n and_o bargain_n which_o we_o be_v to_o deal_v in_o therefore_o if_o in_o bargain_v with_o a_o man_n i_o stand_v altogether_o upon_o my_o own_o advantage_n and_o be_v over_o straite_o lace_v in_o so_o do_v i_o be_o wicked_a and_o if_o i_o say_v let_v he_o look_v to_o his_o own_o profit_n if_o he_o will_v well_o but_o yet_o shall_v a_o man_n have_v so_o much_o honesty_n in_o he_o as_o not_o to_o pinch_v the_o party_n too_o much_o though_o he_o be_v able_a to_o compass_v he_o we_o think_v all_o be_v lawful_a so_o a_o man_n yield_v to_o that_o which_o we_o will_v have_v he_o oh_o say_v we_o see_v it_o be_v his_o own_o will_n to_o bind_v himself_o so_o what_o wrong_v do_v i_o to_o he_o yea_o but_o his_o agree_v to_o all_o thy_o demand_n be_v by_o

he_o howbeit_o y_o it_o be_v because_o he_o be_v in_o need_n &_o wist_v not_o how_o to_o escape_v otherwise_o let_v we_o look_v to_o it_o therefore_o y_a to_o we_o bear_v such_o a_o even_a hand_n as_o one_o man_n be_v not_o tread_v under_o foot_n by_o another_o and_o when_o there_o pass_v any_o bond_n between_o man_n and_o man_n let_v it_o be_v indifferent_a for_o both_o party_n so_o as_o either_o of_o they_o may_v feel_v himself_o relieve_v thus_o you_o see_v one_o point_n more_o which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o here_o a_o man_n may_v damaunde_v how_o

far_o forth_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o us._n see_v here_o then_o i_o pray_v you_o the_o testimony_n which_o god_n give_v unto_o his_o word_n namely_o how_o it_o be_v not_o a_o jar_a that_o can_v

that_o man_n do_v abuse_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o we_o ourselves_o do_v see_v how_o they_o turn_v the_o truth_n into_o lie_n but_o yet_o to_o impute_v the_o same_o unto_o god_n word_n it_o be_v

for_o that_o he_o be_v tie_v unto_o it_o &_o can_v of_o his_o infinite_a power_n do_v otherwise_o but_o because_o it_o please_v he_o so_o to_o do_v thus_o be_v we_o do_v to_o understande_v in_o few_o

without_o bread_n wine_n or_o water_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o use_v those_o mean_n and_o why_o so_o even_o because_o it_o please_v he_o if_o we_o be_v sick_a he_o can_v well_o heal_v we_o without_o any_o medicine_n and_o yet_o will_v he_o have_v we_o to_o use_v medicine_n in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n he_o can_v well_o repress_v all_o our_o enemy_n without_o our_o stir_v of_o any_o

be_v your_o protector_n he_o be_v so_o gracious_a to_o you_o all_o as_o to_o take_v you_o into_o his_o tuition_n and_o to_o avenge_v you_o of_o your_o wrong_n and_o you_o be_v so_o unpatient_a and_o

see_v now_o whereto_o this_o say_n tend_v and_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v apply_v this_o text_n wise_o as_o whereof_o two_o thing_n may_v be_v gather_v whereof_o the_o one_o be_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o see_v ourselves_o continual_o give_v to_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o hypocrisy_n we_o shall_v always_o live_v in_o fear_n and_o wariness_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o we_o have_v play_v the_o beast_n never_o so_o much_o and_o when_o we_o be_v never_o so_o besot_v in_o our_o sin_n we_o shall_v have_v make_v never_o the_o better_a market_n but_o in_o the_o end_n god_n will_v needs_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o speak_v here_o for_o why_o he_o can_v be_v god_n but_o that_o therewithal_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n also_o therefore_o let_v we_o live_v in_o awe_n of_o he_o second_o we_o have_v wherewith_o to_o comfort_v we_o in_o that_o we_o see_v he_o will_v avenge_v we_o of_o our_o enemy_n if_o we_o endeavour_v to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o brood_a under_o his_o wing_n for_o if_o we_o suffer_v he_o to_o guide_v and_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o endeavour_n to_o follow_v his_o word_n the_o vengeance_n which_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v of_o all_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o of_o all_o that_o strive_v against_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v turn_v upon_o our_o enemy_n and_o in_o so_o do_v our_o lord_n will_v show_v and_o confirm_v the_o fatherly_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v us._n to_o be_v short_a on_o the_o one_o side_n this_o doctrine_n provoke_v we_o to_o be_v afraid_a to_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o our_o god_n witting_o for_o fear_v lest_o we_o feel_v his_o horrible_a vengeance_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o glad_v and_o cheer_v we_o because_o we_o see_v that_o god_n undertake_v war_n against_o our_o enemy_n to_o revenge_v our_o wrong_n as_o if_o they_o be_v do_v to_o himself_o now_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v obey_v saint_n paul_n exhortation_n we_o must_v note_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o refer_v all_o revenge_n unto_o god_n but_o also_o hold_v ourselves_o as_o bridle_v or_o imprison_v and_o not_o desire_v to_o have_v god_n to_o execute_v all_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v imagine_v in_o our_o own_o fancy_n for_o there_o be_v which_o will_v not_o revenge_v themselves_o with_o their_o hand_n but_o yet_o they_o will_v have_v god_n to_o execute_v whatsoever_o they_o have_v conceive_v in_o their_o own_o brain_n yea_o and_o they_o do_v even_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o thunder_v down_o upon_o their_o enemy_n

also_o pray_v god_n to_o forgive_v our_o enemy_n and_o to_o turn_v they_o and_o to_o have_v pity_n upon_o they_o for_o if_o we_o avenge_v ourselves_o how_o do_v we_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n wrath_n to_o be_v avenge_v true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o our_o enemy_n be_v utter_o past_o hope_n of_o amendment_n we_o must_v put_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o judge_n but_o until_o such_o time_n

so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v any_o hope_n of_o they_o let_v we_o now_o go_v forewarde_n with_o the_o say_n of_o moses_n to_o i_o say_v he_o belong_v revenge_n and_o requital_n or_o i_o will_v

to_o take_v it_o as_o a_o token_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o his_o will_n be_v to_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o he_o set_v the_o say_a chastisement_n before_o we_o to_o

it_o here_o for_o he_o say_v not_o god_n will_v punish_v you_o if_o you_o offend_v but_o he_o say_v you_o have_v see_v how_o they_o be_v punish_v which_o worship_v beelphegor_a now_o therefore_o prevent_v god_n wrath_n and_o tarry_v not_o till_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o you_o &_o set_v on_o fire_n but_o cleave_v simple_o to_o his_o word_n and_o let_v the_o correction_n that_o he_o have_v

not_o deceive_v for_o god_n wrath_n come_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n for_o such_o thing_n he_o say_v not_o that_o god_n wrath_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o but_o he_o temper_v his_o speech_n and_o say_v consider_v that_o god_n punish_v the_o unbeliever_n for_o such_o cause_n and_o therefore_o separate_v yourselves_o from_o their_o number_n and_o company_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n speak_v he_o likewise_o in_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n â—â—_o 1._o cor._n â—â—_o after_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o how_o god_n have_v punish_v idolater_n rebel_n and_o such_o as_o

o_o lord_n when_o thou_o execute_a thy_o judgement_n the_o dweller_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v learn_v righteousness_n for_o when_o god_n wink_v and_o punish_v not_o the_o wicked_a and_o
