hence_o will_v we_o have_v a_o infallible_a hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n let_v we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o promise_n let_v we_o not_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o as_o a_o number_n

here_o in_o say_v god_n swear_v to_o your_o father_n moreover_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n serve_v not_o for_o one_o age_n only_o but_o for_o all_o ever_o and_o keep_v his_o force_n and_o strength_n continual_o abraham_n isaak_n and_o jacob_n be_v dead_a and_o rot_a in_o the_o earth_n when_o these_o thing_n be_v speak_v

it_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o uncorruptible_a life_n needs_o must_v it_o be_v endless_a and_o exempt_v from_o all_o corruption_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o god_n speak_v in_o old_a

and_o we_o receive_v it_o with_o all_o reverence_n likewise_o at_o this_o day_n although_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v dead_a yet_o do_v god_n work_v still_o by_o they_o &_o the_o word_n

of_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n when_o as_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o of_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n swear_v to_o the_o ancient_a father_n that_o be_v

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

so_o you_o see_v how_o this_o say_n that_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n fight_v for_o we_o be_v accomplish_v when_o we_o be_v once_o come_v to_o that_o point_n although_o our_o enemy_n be_v never_o so_o

but_o let_v we_o look_v what_o god_n command_v we_o &_o frame_v ourselves_o thereafter_o and_o beside_o that_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o pray_v to_o they_o if_o god_n

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

to_o our_o use_n furthermore_o we_o must_v also_o weigh_v well_o this_o say_n which_o he_o add_v namely_o that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o a_o handsel_n thereof_o in_o egypt_n so_o as_o they_o have_v

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

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

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

well_o put_v of_o this_o doctrine_n in_o ure_n but_o moses_n add_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o for_o the_o better_a confirm_v that_o god_n have_v as_o it_o be_v bear_v his_o people_n in_o his_o arm_n

the_o day_n which_o shadow_v they_o from_o y_z e_z burn_v of_o the_o sun_n we_o see_v then_o that_o these_o two_o token_n of_o god_n presence_n serve_v fit_o for_o the_o ease_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o in_o all_o these_o do_n they_o feel_v his_o fatherly_a goodness_n again_o the_o more_o of_o such_o figure_n they_o have_v the_o more_o be_v they_o convict_v that_o god_n have_v govern_v they_o and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o continual_a care_n of_o their_o welfare_n and_o therefore_o do_v moses_n make_v express_a mention_n both_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o of_o the_o cloud_n say_v that_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n give_v we_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o equal_a value_n according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n show_v 10.2_o 1._o cor._n 10.2_o say_v that_o the_o cloud_n and_o the_o

when_o you_o be_v come_v thither_o and_o that_o he_o have_v settle_v you_o there_o think_v you_o that_o he_o will_v maintain_v you_o there_o if_o he_o have_v not_o compassion_n upon_o you_o according_a as_o you_o shall_v have_v good_a need_n thereof_o for_o you_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o your_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o maintain_v you_o now_o

what_o purpose_n moses_n have_v allege_v this_o admonition_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o practice_v it_o and_o beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v in_o general_n that_o the_o change_n which_o happen_v come_v not_o but_o by_o god_n hand_n and_o providence_n when_o we_o see_v a_o mighty_a people_n when_o we_o see_v strong_a and_o well_o man_v city_n when_o we_o see_v all_o other_o mean_n that_o may_v serve_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o country_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v conquer_v by_o enemy_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v think_v that_o god_n wrought_v therein_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o behold_v god_n judgement_n in_o all_o the_o alteration_n that_o be_v see_v in_o the_o world_n and_o although_o all_o thing_n be_v on_o a_o broil_n yet_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n hold_v the_o stern_a above_o true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n will_v make_v uproar_n and_o run_v into_o disorder_n and_o when_o they_o keep_v a_o great_a stir_n to_o their_o seem_a god_n be_v shut_v out_o of_o door_n but_o when_o they_o have_v practise_v what_o they_o can_v yet_o shall_v it_o not_o stop_v god_n from_o turn_v all_o thing_n to_o such_o end_n as_o he_o have_v purpose_v in_o his_o mind_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v we_o not_o imagine_v that_o fortune_n bear_v any_o sway_n in_o the_o world_n but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v reserve_v the_o sovereintie_a to_o himself_o to_o bring_v even_o all_o the_o turmoil_v that_o man_n raise_v up_o to_o such_o end_n as_o he_o have_v ordain_v of_o purpose_n to_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o such_o as_o offend_v he_o to_o pull_v down_o the_o pride_n of_o such_o as_o be_v too_o lofty_a and_o to_o cut_v off_o his_o blessing_n when_o he_o see_v they_o misuse_v that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o note_v and_o even_o these_o manner_n of_o speech_n that_o god_n drive_v out_o the_o giant_n before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o edomite_n and_o before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o moabyte_n do_v yet_o better_o confirm_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v already_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o put_v man_n in_o fear_n 2.4_o exo._n 23.27_o deut._n 2.4_o for_o if_o it_o please_v he_o although_o man_n have_v no_o courage_n at_o all_o but_o be_v fearful_a and_o henharted_a yet_o will_n he_o make_v they_o strong_a and_o stout_a so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o unmoveable_a as_o rock_n when_o other_o come_v to_o encounter_v against_o they_o and_o on_o the_o otherside_n although_o they_o be_v

else_o pursue_v they_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o moses_n use_v such_o manner_n of_o speech_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o man_n have_v not_o their_o heart_n in_o their_o own_o hand_n to_o strengthen_v they_o at_o their_o need_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n thereby_o to_o trust_v that_o god_n will_v discomfit_v our_o enemy_n without_o the_o power_n of_o man_n and_o that_o if_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o with_o never_o so_o violent_a rage_n yet_o shall_v they_o be_v beat_v down_o and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o us._n and_o why_o for_o god_n which_o when_o he_o list_v do_v put_v to_o flight_v not_o only_a man_n of_o small_a courage_n but_o also_o even_a giant_n which_o be_v so_o howge_a that_o they_o astonish_v man_n even_o with_o their_o look_n can_v well_o enough_o skill_n how_o to_o put_v they_o back_o with_o all_o their_o boldness_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n that_o he_o may_v vouchsafe_v to_o give_v we_o courage_n at_o need_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v strengthen_v by_o he_o for_o else_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o weak_a as_o water_n though_o no_o man_n press_v much_o upon_o us._n and_o this_o must_v teach_v we_o to_o walk_v the_o more_o wary_o consider_v the_o weakness_n or_o rather_o brittlenesse_n that_o be_v in_o we_o to_o the_o

think_v they_o fear_v god_n well_o when_o they_o have_v some_o fond_a devotion_n towards_o he_o as_o we_o see_v in_o popery_n where_o every_o man_n say_v that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o serve_v god_n

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

with_o he_o to_o bind_v he_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v willing_o condemn_v ourselves_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n now_o hereupon_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v the_o remedy_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v which_o be_v that_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v righteous_a by_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n for_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v he_o hang_v upon_o tree_n 3.13_o gal._n 3.13_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o in_o the_o one_o and_o twentieth_o chapter_n that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v hang_v upon_o tree_n be_v all_o accurse_a now_o when_o god_n make_v that_o law_n know_v he_o not_o what_o he_o have_v ordain_v afore_o concern_v his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v to_o be_v hang_v on_o tree_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o unchaungeable_a decree_n make_v even_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o curse_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o must_v now_o match_v this_o sentence_n with_o the_o other_o which_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o one_o and_o twentyth_n chapter_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v here_o curse_a shall_v he_o be_v which_o perform_v not_o all_o these_o say_n you_o see_v well_o that_o for_o want_n of_o perform_v they_o we_o be_v confound_v and_o of_o right_a as_o good_a as_o damn_a but_o yet_o heerewithall_o we_o must_v also_o embrace_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v curse_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o if_o that_o this_o curse_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a then_o must_v we_o now_o be_v needs_o set_v free_a what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v curse_v without_o cause_n and_o yet_o no_o fruit_n redound_v thereof_o to_o we_o that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o blessedness_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o we_o not_o know_v wherefore_o but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v unprofitable_a now_o then_o see_v that_o the_o curse_n which_o jefus_fw-la christ_n suffer_v in_o his_o own_o person_n be_v not_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n let_v we_o know_v that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v we_o be_v deliver_v before_o god._n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v those_o two_o text_n to_o
alone_o but_o that_o all_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v bless_v of_o god_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v feel_v the_o same_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o where_o be_v the_o earthly_a paradise_n now_o it_o be_v no_o where_n at_o all_o for_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o earth_n be_v accurse_v it_o be_v the_o sentence_n that_o god_n pronounce_v upon_o adam_n &_o upon_o all_o his_o offspring_n 3.17_o gen._n 3.17_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o the_o misery_n whereunto_o we_o be_v subject_a in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v grow_v from_o this_o root_n that_o we_o continue_v not_o in_o the_o perfection_n wherein_o adam_n be_v create_v and_o that_o god_n reform_v we_o when_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o or_o rather_o behold_v the_o vice_n whereof_o he_o intend_v to_o purge_v we_o by_o fit_a medicine_n &_o tarry_v not_o till_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o and_o provoke_v his_o vengeance_n but_o prevent_v we_o and_o minister_v the_o remedy_n in_o such_o season_n as_o he_o know_v best_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n when_o he_o afflict_v we_o for_o some_o other_o consideration_n than_o for_o our_o sin_n the_o same_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o a_o special_a preeminence_n unto_o we_o and_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o praise_v he_o in_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o mark_v we_o and_o to_o make_v his_o adoption_n apparent_a in_o we_o by_o make_v we_o to_o suffer_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o to_o receive_v wrongful_a persecution_n at_o man_n hand_n under_o any_o colour_n or_o occasion_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v moreover_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o god_n promise_v that_o they_o which_o serve_v he_o shall_v lead_v a_o happy_a life_n even_o in_o this_o world_n not_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v exempt_v from_o all_o adversity_n for_o that_o be_v impossible_a yea_o and_o also_o against_o our_o salvation_n but_o he_o will_v so_o dispose_v our_o life_n as_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o feed_v we_o with_o a_o vain_a hope_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v cause_v all_o they_o to_o prosper_v that_o harken_v unto_o his_o voice_n but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o blessing_n which_o be_v here_o contain_v serve_v not_o to_o show_v what_o the_o sovereign_a felicity_n of_o man_n be_v but_o to_o give_v we_o a_o taste_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v seek_v for_o the_o celestial_a inheritance_n which_o be_v promise_v we_o there_o to_o set_v our_o rest_n this_o must_v be_v lay_v forth_o more_o particular_o or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v dark_a it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v difference_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o father_n that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n for_o god_n do_v there_o entreat_v they_o as_o

they_o have_v need_n of_o some_o aid_n whereof_o we_o at_o this_o time_n have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o neither_o may_v we_o think_v our_o state_n to_o be_v therefore_o the_o worse_a as_o many_o do_v

for_o they_o as_o say_v the_o apostle_n do_v but_o see_v the_o thing_n afar_o of_o which_o we_o behold_v before_o our_o eye_n god_n promise_v to_o be_v their_o saviour_n he_o have_v choose_v they_o

of_o we_o in_o peace_n the_o deliver_v of_o we_o from_o all_o evil_n and_o the_o succor_n of_o we_o in_o all_o our_o necessity_n god_n i_o say_v will_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o blessing_n in_o

of_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o all_o provision_n it_o seem_v here_o at_o the_o first_o show_n that_o god_n mean_v to_o pamper_v his_o people_n as_o though_o he_o will_v set_v they_o up_o in_o a_o sty_n

why_o god_n do_v here_o so_o great_o magnify_v his_o blessing_n it_o be_v do_v not_o for_o that_o man_n have_v ever_o be_v bless_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o respect_n without_o feel_v of_o any_o evil_a

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

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 our_o desert_n and_o touch_v we_o with_o they_o &_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v they_o by_o proof_n and_o experience_n for_o whereas_o he_o say_v let_v reuben_n live_v and_o not_o die_v it_o be_v

be_v constrain_v &_o force_v the_o natural_a sense_n than_o be_v that_o the_o rubenites_n shall_v be_v small_a in_o number_n not_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o folk_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o afore_o they_o be_v five_o and_o forty_o thousand_o man_n beside_o woman_n &_o child_n and_o that_o be_v a_o incredible_a multitude_n to_o come_v of_o oneman_n alone_o

the_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v call_v a_o nazarite_n and_o here_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o have_v be_v rehearse_v by_o moses_n or_o say_v before_o by_o

we_o shall_v see_v again_o in_o due_a place_n assign_v unto_o nepthalâ—m_n the_o country_n on_o the_o seacoast_n and_o point_v out_o every_o man_n his_o portion_n there_o and_o how_o be_v it_o

16.13_o prou._n 16.13_o and_o who_o by_o his_o wonderful_a providence_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o dispose_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o come_v by_o chance_n utter_v by_o jacobs_n

that_o the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n and_o manasses_n be_v plant_v in_o so_o fat_a and_o fertile_a a_o soil_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a storehouse_n of_o the_o land_n true_a it_o be_v that_o

that_o thereby_o he_o mean_v god_n why_o then_o do_v he_o mention_v the_o bush_n here_o for_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o seem_v a_o fond_a thing_n &_o serve_v to_o no_o purpose_n but_o to_o lead_v the_o ignorant_a and_o the_o weakling_n into_o superstition_n we_o know_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n say_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o heaven_n elsewhere_o psa._n 115.3_o

6.18_o but_o this_o word_n heaven_n serve_v to_o pluck_v we_o from_o the_o world_n when_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o when_o we_o go_v about_o to_o worship_v he_o we_o

now_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n pitch_v god_n tent_n in_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v lift_v up_o above_o all_o the_o world_n &_o above_o all_o creature_n when_o we_o think_v upon_o he_o why_o do_v moses_n in_o this_o place_n set_v he_o in_o the_o bush_n it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v there_o show_v himself_o unto_o he_o and_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o note_v that_o there_o be_v two_o dyverse_a fashion_n of_o speak_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o god_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o nevertheless_o this_o diversity_n be_v not_o to_o draw_v we_o into_o contrary_a opinion_n they_o meet_v both_o in_o one_o as_o how_o sometime_o god_n show_v we_o what_o his_o glory_n be_v to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v full_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n that_o he_o be_v incomprehensible_a and_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o worship_v he_o with_o all_o humility_n &_o that_o we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o forge_v he_o after_o our_o fancy_n or_o to_o make_v he_o like_a to_o ourselves_o by_o transform_v after_o our_o own_o imagination_n therefore_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n set_v forth_o god_n majesty_n so_o high_a as_o we_o be_v abash_v at_o it_o 6.2_o esai_n 6.2_o yea_o &_o even_o y_fw-mi e_o very_a angel_n of_o heaven_n according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o cherubin_n hide_v their_o face_n because_o they_o can_v abide_v to_o look_v upon_o the_o majesty_n so_o great_a and_o infinite_a as_o it_o be_v in_o god_n therein_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v needs_o stoop_v under_o such_o greatness_n and_o highness_n but_o yet_o

now_o then_o he_o allure_v we_o gentle_o and_o therewithal_o he_o stope_v to_o we_o &_o make_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v mean_a unto_o us._n and_o to_o that_o end_n have_v the_o sacrament_n be_v
