that_o god_n have_v teach_v they_o their_o lesson_n and_o promise_v they_o to_o stand_v by_o they_o and_o to_o be_v their_o defence_n see_v it_o be_v so_o ought_v they_o not_o to_o make_v a_o

thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o this_o strain_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o import_v a_o very_a profitable_a doctrine_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v note_v also_o that_o this_o perteyn_v not_o only_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 put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n thereof_o for_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o y_z e_z speech_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o when_o god_n put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o former_a help_n and_o grace_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v think_v well_o upon_o the_o great_a number_n of_o benefit_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v at_o his_o hand_n 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 mind_n neither_o be_v his_o ability_n abridge_v and_o to_o be_v short_a he_o never_o cease_v to_o do_v man_n good_a whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o a_o man_n have_v do_v his_o friend_n a_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 not_o constant_a but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o god_n for_o the_o more_o good_a that_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o the_o ready_a be_v his_o riches_n for_o we_o and_o they_o never_o

find_v to_o be_v certain_a and_o infallible_a also_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v this_o similitude_n that_o moses_n set_v down_o here_o namely_o that_o the_o ammorrhytes_n come_v out_o like_o bee_n for_o we_o know_v that_o when_o bee_n be_v angry_a they_o sting_v man_n and_o they_o regard_v not_o whether_o man_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o they_o but_o they_o fly_v upon_o they_o with_o such_o choler_n

as_o be_v fit_n for_o their_o salvation_n now_o remain_v how_o moses_n add_v that_o the_o people_n have_v hear_v god_n voice_n continue_v still_o alive_a whereby_o he_o do_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v by_o his_o presence_n and_o by_o his_o word_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o mountain_n melt_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o

challenge_v somewhat_o to_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o
when_o it_o be_v tell_v they_o that_o god_n call_v those_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v and_o that_o he_o choose_v who_o he_o list_v of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n they_o will_v needs_o fall_v to_o

who_o he_o foresee_v to_o be_v such_o as_o will_v become_v worthy_a of_o his_o grace_n again_o such_o as_o dare_v not_o allege_v altogether_o their_o own_o deserve_n do_v say_v that_o they_o attain_v to_o faith_n because_o god_n foresee_v that_o they_o will_v be_v faithful_a and_o therefore_o reserve_v they_o to_o himself_o so_o then_o by_o that_o mean_n faith_n shall_v proceed_v of_o man_n work_n

a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v that_o moses_n intend_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o obey_v he_o because_o they_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o his_o mighty_a hand_n therefore_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v bethink_v yourselves_o well_o of_o the_o good_a which_o your_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o he_o have_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v

and_o at_o leastwise_o show_v that_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o so_o great_a and_o inestimable_a benefit_n yes_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v negligent_a in_o keep_v god_n law_n moses_n renew_v the_o rememberaunce_n thereof_o and_o set_v their_o deliverance_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a mind_a and_o consider_v that_o they_o

to_o be_v disappoint_v but_o will_v find_v the_o mean_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v whatsoever_o he_o think_v profitable_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o appoint_v not_o mortal_a

may_v spring_v up_o at_o all_o adventure_n and_o that_o god_n over_o rule_v they_o not_o alas_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o we_o see_v how_o mad_a the_o devil_n be_v to_o overthrow_v all_o

that_o by_o know_v that_o god_n hold_v we_o under_o his_o hand_n we_o be_v assure_v that_o no_o error_n or_o abuse_n can_v have_v access_n unto_o we_o unless_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o our_o lord_n

that_o i_o have_v touch_v out_o of_o saint_n paul_n where_o he_o say_v that_o all_o the_o false_a miracle_n which_o befall_v under_o the_o reign_n of_o antichrist_n 2.12_o 2._o thes._n 2.12_o as_o

it_o be_v meet_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v deceive_v by_o lie_n but_o let_v we_o come_v back_o again_o to_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v try_v to_o weet_v if_o we_o love_v

18.9_o which_o his_o father_n have_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n we_o see_v then_o how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o keeper_n of_o our_o salvation_n &_o that_o we_o find_v the_o thing_n

the_o keep_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o that_o we_o must_v special_o observe_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n will_v we_o

be_v never_o the_o more_o relieve_v and_o all_o under_o colour_n that_o man_n can_v not_o recover_v that_o which_o they_o have_v lend_v we_o see_v then_o how_o man_n will_v always_o appease_v god_n

such_o extremity_n a_o man_n may_v well_o perceive_v y_o it_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bear_v no_o sway_n among_o they_o but_o on_o y_o e_o contrary_a part_n it_o be_v say_v y_z t_z the_o highpriest_n

unto_o he_o that_z y_z e_z land_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a heritage_n whereunto_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n be_v to_o attain_v here_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a record_n that_o although_o

of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v live_v everlasting_o with_o he_o see_v then_o that_o moses_n have_v that_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o father_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n which_o thing_n they_o be_v not_o unless_o they_o be_v heir_n with_o us._n and_o forsomuch_o as_o they_o tend_v to_o the_o heavenly_a life_n which_o notwithstanding_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o receive_v he_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o to_o become_v like_o poor_a hungry_a soul_n so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o we_o have_v need_n of_o this_o warning_n that_o we_o must_v be_v gather_v up_o with_o who_o with_o those_o which_o have_v go_v before_o us._n and_o without_o that_o what_o comfort_n shall_v we_o have_v less_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n

to_o trust_v unto_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o our_o safety_n consist_v not_o in_o any_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o
