that_o god_n shall_v speak_v unto_o we_o yet_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v well_o consider_v it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n use_v of_o

in_o awe_n god_n tell_v they_o that_o the_o knowledge_n which_o they_o have_v of_o he_o aught_o to_o keep_v they_o aloof_o from_o all_o superstition_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o

not_o have_v any_o regard_n at_o all_o of_o their_o own_o ability_n furthermore_o we_o must_v mark_v also_o for_o a_o thyrd_o point_n that_o although_o moses_n see_v the_o burden_n to_o be_v

which_o we_o have_v condemn_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o man_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o their_o own_o slenderness_n but_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n

they_o see_v themselves_o confound_v in_o the_o end_n but_o it_o be_v too_o late_o first_o for_o this_o foolish_a overween_a make_v man_n to_o forget_v themselves_o and_o to_o take_v too_o much_o

there_o be_v also_o a_o other_o evil_a extremity_n which_o be_v that_o when_o man_n see_v themselves_o to_o be_v very_o frail_a they_o become_v fainthearted_a and_o thereupon_o if_o god_n call_v they_o to_o any_o office_n of_o charge_n they_o pluck_v back_o their_o neck_n because_o they_o see_v the_o burden_n cumbersome_a for_o they_o and_o will_v fain_o shake_v off_o the_o yoke_n and_o

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

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

&_o common_a weal_n have_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o themselves_o but_o for_o that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o world_n to_o be_v so_o govern_v therefore_o when_o any_o man_n go_v about_o to_o change_v the_o border_n that_o god_n have_v set_v he_o do_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v to_o violate_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o end_n thereof_o must_v needs_o be_v curse_v be_v this_o mark_v

that_o we_o shall_v make_v he_o to_o grant_v all_o our_o desire_n for_o what_o a_o malapertnesse_n be_v that_o and_o what_o a_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o if_o every_o man_n shall_v say_v i_o

of_o god_n for_o when_o we_o presume_v to_o ask_v of_o he_o whatsoever_o come_v in_o our_o head_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n for_o we_o to_o trust_v unto_o in_o go_v to_o it_o so_o without_o advice_n

thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v that_o moses_n protest_v that_o he_o come_v not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n nor_o set_v up_o

that_o the_o people_n may_v have_v say_v so_o as_o well_o as_o moses_n according_a also_o as_o moses_n add_v oftentimes_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n but_o here_o he_o appropriate_v the_o title_n of_o

yondsame_n be_v the_o prince_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o that_o be_v of_o his_o household_n or_o bear_v any_o office_n may_v add_v these_o word_n over_o the_o king_n my_o master_n or_o they_o may_v say_v the_o prince_n my_o master_n and_o why_o for_o they_o be_v his_o officer_n or_o his_o household_n servant_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n deal_v the_o prophet_n â—â—_o esa._n â—â—_o

will_v have_v we_o always_o rule_v by_o his_o word_n now_o moses_n add_v immediate_o that_o he_o have_v set_v forth_o the_o statute_n and_o ordinance_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v

neither_o murmur_v nor_o blaspheme_v proceed_v from_o moses_n nay_o which_o be_v more_o we_o see_v he_o crucify_v himself_o when_o he_o see_v that_o god_n be_v not_o honour_v as_o he_o ought_v to_o

yet_o what_o we_o have_v further_a to_o remember_v out_o of_o this_o place_n and_o herewithal_o we_o see_v also_o that_o when_o god_n servant_n perceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v near_o their_o end_n they_o must_v be_v the_o carefull_a to_o establish_v the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o teach_v in_o their_o life_n time_n and_o why_o for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n do_v easy_o slip_v away_o &_o that_o

we_o so_o as_o he_o will_v not_o miss_v but_o have_v his_o eye_n still_o upon_o we_o to_o watch_v over_o we_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o if_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o such_o a_o care_n to_o defend_v

and_o be_v it_o so_o when_o we_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o good_n it_o shall_v be_v declare_v that_o we_o must_v not_o play_v the_o thief_n nor_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o our_o neighbour_n

of_o beastly_a conversation_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n be_v content_v with_o us._n uprightness_n &_o soberness_n be_v thing_n inseparable_a for_o god_n have_v join_v they_o together_o in_o his_o law_n and_o we_o see_v that_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o apostle_n who_o large_o expound_v the_o thing_n y_fw-fr t_o be_v here_o touch_v in_o few_o word_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o this_o text_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o god_n command_v we_o here_o to_o lead_v a_o honest_a and_o chaste_a life_n so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o

that_o under_o one_o particular_a god_n comprehend_v the_o whole_a and_o set_v we_o down_o the_o thing_n that_o ought_v to_o mislike_v we_o even_o of_o nature_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v abhor_v all_o manner_n of_o whoredom_n the_o more_o i_o tell_v you_o yesterday_o that_o when_o man_n be_v tempt_v to_o do_v evil_a they_o beguile_v themselves_o ween_v that_o the_o fault_n be_v but_o small_a and_o so_o from_o the_o lesser_a they_o proceed_v to_o the_o great_a contrariwise_o to_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n god_n set_v before_o we_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v heinous_a to_o y_z e_z end_n we_o shall_v be_v strike_v with_o fear_n aforehand_o and_o not_o be_v lead_v so_o easy_o to_o commit_v any_o fault_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v beware_v you_o fall_v not_o for_o it_o will_v make_v you_o to_o break_v your_o neck_n bear_v not_o yourself_o in_o hand_n that_o you_o shall_v but_o slide_v for_o the_o fall_n will_v be_v deadly_a and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v

word_n love_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o this_o text_n notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o fellow_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o honour_v

of_o moses_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v short_o already_o remember_v these_o word_n say_v he_o and_o how_o by_o talk_v and_o confer_v of_o they_o in_o thy_o house_n and_o as_o thou_o go_v abroad_o here_o we_o see_v well_o how_o our_o lord_n meaning_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v with_o guard_n of_o garment_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o have_v his_o law_n print_v in_o his_o people_n

and_o it_o greeve_v us._n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o talk_n of_o he_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a point_n for_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o say_n of_o the_o psalm_n 〈…〉_o psal._n 〈…〉_o i_o

must_v be_v importunate_a and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v utter_v our_o grief_n unto_o god_n light_o and_o once_o for_o all_o but_o that_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o he_o still_o until_o he_o have_v hear_v our_o request_n now_o then_o here_o be_v a_o second_o lesson_n which_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o place_n which_o be_v that_o in_o pray_v unto_o god_n we_o must_v have_v a_o settledness_n of_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n also_o this_o pray_v of_o mosese_n show_v we_o what_o their_o duty_n be_v which_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o other_o folk_n namely_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o pity_v such_o as_o shall_v have_v offend_v for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o such_o as_o have_v public_a charge_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n to_o the_o worldewarde_n but_o they_o must_v also_o turn_v unto_o god_n we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o must_v not_o only_o preach_v the_o gospel_n 〈…〉_o act._n 〈…〉_o but_o also_o give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n now_o this_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o faithful_a for_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n be_v the_o chief_a duty_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v the_o chief_a charge_n of_o the_o church_n it_o behove_v this_o call_n upon_o god_n to_o belong_v chief_o unto_o they_o 〈…〉_o 2._o cor._n 〈…〉_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o humble_v himself_o for_o the_o corinthian_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v he_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o chastisement_n of_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v set_v he_o over_o that_o church_n it_o behoove_v he_o to_o bear_v the_o chief_a burden_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n therefore_o such_o as_o have_v the_o charge_n of_o preach_v god_n word_n and_o of_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n must_v not_o only_o employ_v themselves_o that_o way_n but_o also_o to_o prayer_n and_o chief_o when_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v amiss_o and_o disorder_n among_o the_o people_n then_o ought_v they_o most_o special_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o tarry_v not_o till_o the_o people_n resort_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n but_o show_v they_o the_o way_n as_o he_o who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o people_n and_o to_o procure_v their_o welfare_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o prayer_n that_o moses_n make_v lord_n god_n say_v he_o destroy_v not_o the_o people_n of_o thy_o heritage_n who_o thou_o have_v redeem_v by_o thy_o mighty_a power_n &_o strong_a hand_n out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n bethink_v thyself_o of_o thy_o servant_n abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o
stubbornness_n of_o this_o people_n nor_o to_o their_o wickedness_n nor_o to_o their_o offence_n here_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o moses_n allege_v unto_o god_n namely_o his_o gracious_a favour_n wherethrough_a he_o have_v choose_v the_o offspring_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o a_o good_a rule_n for_o we_o to_o keep_v in_o pray_v unto_o god_n which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o obtain_v our_o request_n at_o his_o hand_n we_o must_v not_o presume_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o but_o rather_o allege_v his_o own_o goodness_n which_o he_o have_v make_v we_o to_o feel_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v lord_n go_v forward_o with_o thy_o work_n thou_o have_v begin_v to_o call_v we_o to_o thou_o we_o be_v as_o much_o behold_v to_o thy_o

the_o hundred_o and_o eight_o and_o thirtith_o psalm_n 138.8_o psal._n 138.8_o and_o it_o be_v such_o a_o doctrine_n as_o we_o may_v gather_v upon_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n now_o whereas_o moses_n say_v thy_o people_n and_o thy_o inheritance_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o the_o people_n have_v purchase_v that_o dignity_n themselves_o it_o be_v a_o

be_v nothing_o but_o stubbornness_n wickedness_n and_o sin_n in_o they_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o all_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o free_a adoption_n wherethrough_a god_n have_v choose_v that_o people_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v have_v the_o house_n of_o abraham_n to_o reign_v over_o it_o there_o will_v i_o dwell_v that_o shall_v be_v my_o church_n 132.14_o psal._n

we_o down_o here_o be_v this_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o thy_o people_n and_o upon_o thy_o heritage_n and_o so_o when_o we_o resort_v to_o god_n to_o crave_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n let_v

he_o have_v choose_v we_o for_o his_o flock_n and_o vouchsafe_v to_o utter_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o to_o give_v we_o assurance_n that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n we_o may_v press_v

his_o mighty_a power_n and_o with_o a_o strong_a hand_n even_o to_o make_v it_o know_v that_o they_o be_v his_o inheritance_n by_o a_o vysible_a token_n and_o by_o the_o apparent_a effect_n of_o it_o

for_o when_o god_n deliver_v the_o jew_n out_o of_o egypt_n &_o reach_v they_o his_o hand_n to_o bring_v they_o out_o where_o of_o come_v it_o it_o be_v as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o have_v be_v make_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n god_n say_v i_o do_v show_v as_o then_o that_o the_o former_a promise_v unto_o abraham_n that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o god_n of_o his_o lineage_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v moses_n set_v down_o both_o twain_o of_o they_o here_o he_o begin_v with_o the_o promise_n and_o afterward_o add_v what_o ensue_v thereof_o that_o be_v to_o wit_v the_o deliverance_n which_o be_v a_o sure_a warrant_n that_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o beguile_v his_o servant_n abraham_n when_o he_o tell_v he_o as_o i_o hâ—ue_v tell_v you_o before_o wherefore_o let_v we_o brief_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o have_v access_n unto_o god_n to_o rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n we_o must_v begin_v at_o his_o word_n and_o afterward_o we_o must_v also_o acknowledge_v the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v feel_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o if_o we_o have_v find_v that_o he_o have_v not_o beguile_v we_o by_o his_o promise_n it_o be_v as_o a_o former_a warrant_n whereby_o he_o intend_v to_o confirm_v and_o assure_v we_o the_o better_a loe_o here_o a_o goodly_a match_v namely_o that_o we_o yield_v such_o honour_n unto_o god_n word_n as_o to_o trust_v assure_o thereunto_o and_o therewithal_o that_o we_o be_v not_o thankless_a for_o the_o goodness_n which_o he_o have_v show_v we_o indeed_o but_o make_v the_o same_o to_o

god_n do_v special_o ordain_v to_o bless_v in_o his_o name_n we_o must_v fetch_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n out_o of_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o number_n notwithstanding_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o moses_n 6.24_o numb_a 6.24_o but_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v more_o express_v and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v i_o coat_v the_o

that_o it_o behove_v the_o levites_n not_o only_o to_o praise_n god_n as_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o do_v but_o also_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o his_o name_n for_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a

to_o hold_v all_o thing_n of_o his_o only_a mere_a goodness_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o so_o as_o without_o he_o we_o be_v miserable_a and_o have_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o

to_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v come_v of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o only_a mere_a free_a goodness_n now_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o

forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a prerogative_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v it_o be_v maintain_v and_o use_v with_o good_a conscience_n when_o a_o people_n have_v this_o prerogative_n let_v

that_o our_o lord_n deem_v all_o those_o to_o be_v murderer_n which_o do_v so_o hate_v their_o neighbour_n and_o the_o same_o must_v warn_v we_o to_o prevent_v all_o danger_n that_o the_o sun_n go_v

then_o how_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v and_o general_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o to_o examine_v our_o fault_n well_o we_o must_v not_o only_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v by_o our_o hand_n foot_n eye_n &_o ear_n but_o we_o must_v also_o go_v to_o the_o inward_a part_n &_o search_v our_o thought_n our_o wicked_a desire_n and_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o do_v tempt_v and_o provoke_v we_o for_o there_o lie_v the_o right_a examination_n of_o our_o sin_n when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o justify_v himself_o because_o he_o have_v commit_v no_o murder_n

but_o it_o be_v but_o their_o common_a phrase_n of_o speech_n whereby_o they_o do_v betoken_v all_o time_n that_o be_v past_a and_o hereby_o our_o lord_n mean_v to_o declare_v that_o man_n must_v not_o look_v only_o at_o the_o present_a deed_n but_o that_o they_o must_v proceed_v further_a and_o see_v whether_o any_o mischief_n lie_v lurk_v afore_o for_o if_o a_o man_n allege_v circumstance_n to_o clear_v himself_o and_o be_v not_o find_v faulty_a out_o of_o hand_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o enough_o a_o eye_n must_v be_v have_v what_o go_v before_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v find_v out_o in_o

be_v do_v in_o earthly_a justice_n let_v every_o of_o we_o practice_v it_o likewise_o in_o our_o own_o behalf_n when_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n let_v we_o not_o look_v only_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v present_o fall_v out_o but_o let_v we_o go_v yet_o further_o and_o say_v how_o be_v this_o befall_v i_o it_o be_v because_o i_o have_v nourish_v this_o vice_n long_a time_n in_o i_o whereas_o if_o i_o have_v cut_v it_o off_o at_o the_o first_o god_n will_v not_o have_v leave_v i_o so_o much_o to_o myself_o but_o what_o i_o have_v soothe_v

mind_v to_o tempt_v god_n wilful_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o i_o shall_v fall_v so_o gross_o since_o i_o myself_o be_o the_o cause_n thereof_o such_o examination_n shall_v we_o make_v of_o all_o our_o fault_n and_o not_o only_o condemn_v ourselves_o for_o the_o present_a deed_n do_v but_o also_o proceed_v further_o and_o say_v alas_o if_o i_o have_v arm_v myself_o against_o satan_n or_o if_o i_o have_v not_o of_o long_a time_n set_v open_v the_o way_n for_o he_o or_o if_o i_o have_v not_o wrought_v the_o mean_n for_o he_o to_o beguile_v i_o god_n have_v

have_v strive_v at_o the_o first_o and_o so_o you_o see_v yet_o again_o what_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v when_o we_o be_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o well_o and_o what_o doctrine_n we_o have_v to_o gather_v of_o this_o say_n y_z t_z inquiry_n must_v be_v make_v whether_o there_o have_v be_v any_o former_a hatred_n betwixt_o the_o party_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o place_n now_o final_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o judgement_n of_o death_n upon_o such_o a_o man_n it_o serve_v to_o prove_v the_o thing_n better_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v already_o namely_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o guilty_a by_o his_o own_o purpose_n intent_n or_o will_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o offender_n god_n acquit_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v condemn_v by_o man_n or_o by_o any_o creature_n this_o aught_o to_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o further_a confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o i_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o expound_v man_n can_v always_o well_o grant_v y_o it_o fault_n be_v willing_a when_o you_o
ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o require_v it_o at_o our_o hand_n but_o here_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n we_o must_v set_v our_o â—elues_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o innocent_n so_o as_o they_o may_v not_o be_v vex_v fleece_v or_o trouble_v not_o might_n be_v suffer_v to_o overcome_v right_a as_o they_o say_v let_v every_o of_o we_o in_o his_o degree_n look_v to_o the_o remedy_v hereof_o let_v such_o as_o have_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n show_v themselves_o stout_a in_o this_o case_n and_o not_o suffer_v disorder_n to_o have_v full_a scope_n and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o ability_n let_v they_o yet_o at_o leastwise_o do_v the_o best_a they_o can_v to_o comfort_v such_o as_o have_v no_o body_n to_o uphold_v they_o and_o when_o we_o see_v these_o lusty_a gallant_n step_v up_o and_o take_v more_o upon_o they_o than_o be_v lawful_a let_v we_o become_v their_o enemy_n let_v we_o hinder_v their_o misdealing_n and_o let_v we_o withstand_v they_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o by_o god_n word_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v hold_v as_o accessary_n to_o their_o misdoing_n if_o we_o have_v not_o prevent_v they_o it_o be_v a_o consent_n to_o they_o and_o god_n must_v demand_v a_o account_n of_o it_o at_o our_o hand_n here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v further_o that_o whereas_o god_n say_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n shall_v add_v three_o other_o city_n of_o refuge_n after_o that_o their_o bound_n be_v enlarge_v thereby_o we_o be_v do_v to_o understande_v that_o the_o more_o power_n and_o ability_n that_o god_n give_v we_o the_o more_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o employ_v it_o to_o comfort_v innocent_n and_o to_o

man_n be_v arm_v with_o god_n power_n than_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o to_o mislike_v of_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v somewhat_o sorry_a for_o they_o but_o he_o must_v also_o employ_v the_o authority_n that_o god_n give_v he_o and_o the_o same_o rule_n ought_v to_o be_v observe_v of_o every_o of_o we_o particular_o to_o be_v short_a forasmuch_o as_o god_n give_v power_n to_o king_n prince_n and_o all_o other_o magistrate_n they_o ought_v to_o employ_v all_o that_o ever_o they_o have_v to_o the_o defence_n of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n and_o to_o

nevertheless_o it_o behove_v every_o of_o we_o to_o follow_v the_o same_o order_n and_o although_o we_o be_v not_o arm_v with_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o god_n give_v we_o any_o ability_n or_o opportunity_n let_v we_o look_v to_o it_o that_o we_o help_v the_o good_a and_o succour_v they_o in_o their_o need_n therefore_o if_o a_o rich_a man_n see_v a_o poor_a man_n suffer_v wrong_a let_v he_o help_v he_o and_o relieve_v he_o if_o a_o man_n of_o discretion_n see_v a_o poor_a man_n destitute_a of_o counsel_n so_o as_o he_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v let_v he_o

and_o although_o he_o be_v lead_v with_o wicked_a affection_n yet_o ought_v the_o judge_n to_o grant_v he_o his_o right_n and_o that_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n for_o many_o man_n bear_v themselves_o

for_o although_o we_o offer_v they_o no_o violence_n yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v discharge_v but_o every_o of_o we_o must_v look_v that_o he_o use_v no_o annoyance_n nor_o give_v any_o cause_n or_o

a_o singular_a record_n of_o his_o goodness_n you_o see_v how_o our_o body_n be_v but_o carrion_n and_o yet_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o maintain_v they_o and_o give_v we_o here_o a_o commandment_n to_o

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

which_o we_o have_v in_o use_n according_a to_o god_n ordinance_n the_o very_a truth_n of_o they_o be_v present_a with_o they_o and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v our_o lord_n allow_v of_o our_o

&_o a_o number_n of_o other_o gaud_n which_o will_v make_v a_o man_n amaze_v and_o what_o import_v all_o this_o every_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v but_o dung_n take_v from_o satan_n and_o hold_v still_o and_o yet_o the_o papist_n set_v all_o their_o holiness_n therein_o again_o they_o have_v invent_v sacrament_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n as_o their_o sacrament_n of_o conformation_n as_o they_o
