obey_v our_o god_n and_o show_v that_o our_o affection_n be_v so_o bend_v without_o dissemble_v let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o incline_v to_o that_o which_o be_v give_v he_o in_o commandment_n namely_o

the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n be_v and_o in_o deed_n do_v it_o lie_v in_o we_o to_o promise_v man_n life_n everlasting_a or_o to_o denounce_v unto_o they_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o we_o

this_o text_n now_o here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v move_v why_o it_o be_v say_v when_o you_o have_v keep_v all_o my_o commandment_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n

than_o shall_v we_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v discharge_v all_o that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o in_o his_o law_n that_o be_v certain_a now_o than_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o

dwell_v in_o we_o as_o i_o have_v show_v heretofore_o now_o herewithal_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v that_o see_v god_n promise_v nothing_o but_o unto_o they_o that_o have_v obey_v all_o y_o e_o law_n it_o be_v too_o doltish_a folly_n to_o suppose_v that_o we_o can_v merit_v or_o deserve_v by_o do_v this_o thing_n or_o that_o thing_n we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o have_v keep_v all_o the_o law_n

yes_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o we_o bear_v not_o false_a witness_n against_o god_n 15.15_o 1_o cor._n 15.15_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n saying_n who_o avow_v that_o such_o as_o corrupt_v the_o pureness_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v falsewitness_n against_o god_n and_o not_o against_o man_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v maintain_v god_n truth_n and_o deal_v so_o roundly_o in_o it_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o see_v the_o doctrine_n be_v good_a we_o bear_v it_o abroad_o and_o maintain_v it_o know_v that_o god_n have_v ordain_v we_o to_o be_v as_o his_o deputy_n then_o if_o i_o see_v the_o truth_n oppress_v i_o must_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o my_o power_n why_o so_o god_n have_v appoint_v i_o to_o see_v that_o lie_a and_o untruth_n be_v suppress_v in_o his_o name_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v most_o special_o when_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n come_v in_o question_n as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o see_v the_o doctrine_n in_o

thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v upon_o this_o commandment_n now_o let_v we_o kneel_v down_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o perceive_v they_o better_o than_o we_o have_v do_v and_o to_o lead_v we_o more_o and_o more_o to_o such_o repentance_n as_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o

by_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o lesser_a to_o the_o
that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o judge_n speak_v unto_o the_o man_n to_o persuade_v he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o if_o the_o man_n will_v not_o consent_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o the_o magistrate_n and_o other_o justicer_n ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o use_v any_o force_n and_o violence_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v simple_o command_v as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o i_o be_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n will_v constrain_v a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o i_o think_v good_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o the_o law_n constrain_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o their_o bound_n and_o not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o say_v what_o i_o command_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v do_v it_o no_o for_o there_o be_v no_o constrain_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o law_n a_o man_n must_v hold_v himself_o to_o the_o rule_n thereof_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o point_n that_o must_v be_v come_v unto_o be_v to_o presume_v to_o bring_v man_n into_o no_o further_a subjection_n than_o the_o law_n bind_v they_o unto_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o be_v far_a to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o shame_n that_o be_v do_v in_o pluck_v off_o of_o their_o shoe_n &_o in_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n it_o serve_v to_o provoke_v man_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n the_o better_a yet_o nevertheless_o if_o a_o man_n have_v rather_o sustain_v this_o reproach_n than_o to_o take_v wife_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v discharge_v thereof_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n show_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n in_o be_v grieve_v when_o the_o family_n be_v not_o

therefore_o if_o any_o have_v rather_o to_o suffer_v such_o shame_n than_o to_o take_v a_o wife_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o come_v to_o declare_v it_o public_o but_o we_o must_v now_o return_v unto_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o any_o carnal_a kindred_n privilege_v as_o the_o race_n and_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n be_v for_o god_n

nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o

to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n

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

then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n be_v that_o if_o we_o mean_v not_o to_o lead_v a_o disorder_a life_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o god_n utter_o

this_o text_n in_o promise_v a_o blessing_n to_o the_o people_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o hear_v how_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o it_o 7.14_o rom._n 4.15_o &_o 7.14_o he_o say_v y_z t_z the_o law_n bring_v

may_v despise_v he_o all_o their_o life_n long_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v as_o in_o a_o lookingglasse_n how_o great_o our_o nature_n be_v incline_v to_o superstition_n and_o second_o that_o always_o

and_o instruct_v they_o in_o goodness_n as_o nature_n itself_o show_v if_o a_o father_n say_v as_o for_o i_o i_o uphold_v not_o my_o son_n in_o this_o evil_a i_o mislike_v of_o it_o but_o i_o can_v

of_o their_o child_n than_o to_o receive_v some_o service_n at_o their_o hand_n in_o
their_o child_n will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v at_o the_o first_o chop_n that_o for_o very_a spite_n they_o let_v they_o alone_o and_o so_o their_o child_n fall_v into_o all_o excess_n but_o they_o

and_o ildisposed_a nature_n that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v reclaim_v the_o father_n and_o the_o mother_n ought_v to_o proceed_v still_o with_o that_o nurture_n of_o he_o which_o god_n command_v here_o and_o parent_n ought_v to_o be_v patient_a in_o this_o case_n for_o mieldenesse_n be_v a_o virtue_n right_n requisite_a in_o this_o behalf_n because_o that_o if_o a_o father_n trust_v to_o his_o own_o

not_o one_o word_n to_o serve_v to_o the_o child_n ought_v he_o not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a if_o there_o be_v any_o drop_n of_o honesty_n in_o he_o after_o that_o manner_n may_v a_o father_n speak_v but_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v yet_o must_v not_o the_o creature_n be_v leave_v at_o random_n without_o regard_n of_o win_v he_o to_o god_n we_o must_v rather_o use_v patience_n still_o as_o saint_n paul_n counsel_v we_o in_o speak_v of_o correction_n in_o deed_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v use_v sharpness_n and_o rigour_n to_o move_v such_o as_o be_v overmuch_o harden_v in_o their_o naughtiness_n but_o yet_o he_o will_v have_v it_o match_v with_o meekness_n and_o patience_n now_o then_o what_o ought_v father_n to_o do_v shall_v they_o be_v so_o far_o out_o of_o patience_n as_o to_o give_v over_o the_o correction_n of_o their_o child_n no._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o in_o this_o text_n father_n for_o their_o part_n be_v warn_v to_o have_v a_o stay_n of_o themselves_o when_o they_o see_v their_o child_n give_v to_o lightness_n &_o unconstancy_n and_o to_o misbehave_v themselves_o and_o that_o although_o they_o can_v win_v they_o at_o the_o first_o nor_o bring_v they_o to_o such_o meekness_n as_o to_o make_v they_o take_v y_z e_z right_a way_n of_o their_o own_o good_a will_n yet_o they_o must_v consider_v with_o themselves_o how_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o keep_v they_o occupy_v in_o that_o kind_n of_o pain_n take_v and_o to_o try_v their_o patience_n after_o that_o manner_n thus_o you_o see_v one_o other_o point_n more_o which_o we_o

that_o be_v utter_o against_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o y_o e_o father_n &_o mother_n shall_v be_v believe_v without_o further_a scan_n or_o sift_v of_o the_o matter_n see_v the_o case_n concern_v their_o own_o child_n for_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n of_o the_o father_n &_o mother_n to_o drive_v they_o to_o bring_v witness_n against_o their_o own_o child_n &_o their_o

great_a after_o what_o manner_n we_o ought_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o towards_o our_o neighbour_n therefore_o if_o we_o trouble_v any_o man_n while_o he_o be_v do_v his_o duty_n and_o put_v he_o to_o

declare_v already_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o text_n that_o god_n do_v well_o vouchsafe_v to_o lay_v for_o the_o preserve_n of_o our_o life_n &_o to_o provide_v aforehand_o for_o all_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

to_o use_v such_o compassion_n towards_o all_o that_o be_v unjust_o oppress_v and_o who_o man_n torment_v beyond_o measure_n without_o any_o cause_n how_o ought_v we_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o

we_o doubtless_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o punish_v such_o cruelty_n but_o when_o our_o turn_n come_v to_o be_v visit_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v man_n

10.16_o 〈◊〉_d 10.16_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o will_v circumcise_v thy_o heart_n it_o be_v his_o very_a office_n we_o see_v then_o that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o his_o law_n it_o be_v not_o

furthermore_o it_o be_v here_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o circumcision_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o malice_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o show_v also_o that_o god_n will_v do_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o regenerate_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o at_o this_o day_n in_o baptism_n when_o the_o water_n be_v pour_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o little_a child_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o signify_v that_o be_v come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o must_v serve_v god_n and_o

the_o minister_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o who_o only_o it_o do_v appertain_v to_o baptise_v as_o saint_n john_n say_v we_o in_o deed_n do_v baptise_v with_o water_n but_o his_o office_n be_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o fire_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v it_o well_o that_o when_o the_o minister_n lay_v the_o water_n on_o the_o child_n
