forasmuch_o as_o he_o think_v there_o be_v a_o remedy_n though_o god_n have_v say_v let_v i_o alone_o he_o fall_v to_o intreataunce_n again_o and_o that_o serve_v to_o show_v the_o heynousnesse_n of_o

that_o abraham_n do_v the_o clean_a contrary_n 22.2_o gen._n 22.2_o for_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o to_o bless_v isaac_n and_o to_o raise_v up_o a_o people_n of_o his_o seed_n who_o he_o will_v take_v to_o himself_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o command_v abraham_n to_o slay_v isaac_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n now_o it_o seem_v that_o after_o the_o example_n which_o be_v set_v we_o down_o here_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v say_v lord_n thou_o have_v promise_v i_o that_o my_o son_n isaac_n shall_v beget_v a_o seed_n whereby_o salvation_n shall_v be_v send_v unto_o the_o world_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o live_v but_o abraham_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o know_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o obey_v god_n simple_o without_o gaynesay_v for_o he_o can_v well_o have_v stir_v up_o seed_n from_o out_o of_o the_o ash_n of_o isaac_n when_o he_o have_v be_v dead_a so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o such_o temptation_n as_o these_o do_v encounter_v the_o

there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n in_o they_o god_n have_v say_v to_o abraham_n thy_o seed_n shall_v be_v hold_v in_o bondage_n but_o about_o afoure_n hundred_o year_n hence_o i_o will_v perform_v the_o

what_o shall_v i_o do_v more_o i_o have_v try_v they_o a_o number_n of_o way_n i_o have_v experience_n of_o they_o i_o have_v bear_v gentle_o with_o they_o i_o have_v chastise_v they_o and_o yet_o

according_a to_o jesus_n christ_n exhortation_n if_o we_o mean_v that_o the_o meat_n which_o we_o take_v shall_v be_v sanctify_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o look_v that_o god_n be_v honour_v by_o they_o and_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n how_o it_o be_v of_o his_o only_a freegoodnesse_n that_o we_o be_v nourish_v by_o they_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o can_v neither_o do_v he_o good_a nor_o

for_o if_o we_o shall_v fashion_v ourselves_o after_o the_o world_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o we_o see_v how_o the_o great_a multitude_n live_v out_o of_o all_o order_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o

in_o the_o end_n feel_v that_o they_o abuse_v his_o goodness_n overmuch_o which_o wait_v their_o leisure_n so_o long_o and_o allure_v they_o unto_o repentance_n god_n then_o reserve_v unto_o himself_o a_o judgement_n which_o appear_v not_o yet_o unto_o man_n but_o as_o for_o mortal_a man_n which_o be_v judge_n they_o must_v do_v their_o duty_n they_o have_v their_o rule_n and_o their_o lesson_n

this_o place_n here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o moderate_v the_o chastisemente_n which_o be_v use_v for_o the_o judge_n ought_v always_o to_o consider_v that_o they_o sit_v in_o justice_n in_o the_o

express_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o reasonable_a measure_n use_v in_o punish_v very_o when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v clean_o root_v out_o but_o to_o live_v still_o in_o the_o world_n god_n will_v not_o have_v he_o maim_v that_o he_o shall_v become_v unprofitable_a as_o touch_v his_o body_n for_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o rigorous_o handle_v as_o to_o

god_n have_v say_v unto_o they_o you_o shall_v nor_o add_v nor_o diminish_v any_o thing_n from_o that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v but_o man_n affection_n be_v ever_o boil_v and_o man_n will_v

nevertheless_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o give_v thirty_o and_o nine_o stripe_n and_o why_o they_o think_v thus_o with_o themselves_o oh_o it_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v least_o when_o a_o man_n have_v give_v forty_o stripe_n he_o can_v not_o withhold_v himself_o from_o give_v one_o more_o and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o shall_v go_v beyond_o the_o law_n you_o say_v well_o

why_o god_n ordain_v this_o ceremony_n among_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v offer_v everye_o year_n the_o firstlinge_n of_o their_o fruit_n before_o they_o shall_v presume_v to_o eat_v bread_n

to_o mount_v up_o on_o high_a yea_o even_o diverse_a time_n to_o break_v their_o own_o neck_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o how_o moses_n say_v that_o he_o be_v

that_o we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o hygh_a a_o man_n be_v exalt_v the_o more_o also_o be_v he_o bind_v both_o to_o god_n and_o to_o they_o over_o who_o he_o be_v set_v inasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n without_o burden_n yea_o or_o rather_o without_o bondage_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o we_o must_v also_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o have_v no_o ability_n at_o all_o of_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o much_o less_o be_v any_o man_n to_o be_v find_v sufficient_a to_o bear_v so_o great_a a_o burden_n there_o can_v so_o small_o a_o charge_n be_v commit_v unto_o we_o but_o the_o same_o be_v able_a to_o make_v our_o shoulder_n shrink_v yea_o and_o even_o to_o bow_v too_o for_o our_o infirmity_n be_v so_o great_a that_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v give_v we_o here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v that_o first_o of_o all_o every_o of_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o

whereas_o man_n do_v always_o keep_v their_o full_a weight_n with_o us._n sure_o if_o we_o be_v about_o to_o compare_v other_o man_n with_o ourselves_o we_o can_v set_v they_o light_a enough_o for_o

they_o do_v and_o man_n shall_v have_v see_v another_o manner_n of_o modesty_n in_o they_o at_o all_o time_n than_o be_v now_o see_v for_o they_o that_o be_v advance_v unto_o honour_n do_v bear_v

and_o shake_v off_o the_o yoke_n from_o their_o neck_n as_o though_o they_o hold_v all_o thing_n at_o their_o own_o swinge_n and_o god_n be_v no_o body_n at_o all_o with_o they_o but_o yet_o in_o this_o text_n moses_n tell_v they_o that_o be_v they_o never_o so_o great_a king_n &_o prince_n their_o superiority_n ought_v not_o to_o diminish_v the_o authority_n of_o god_n that_o his_o glory_n

be_v obey_v and_o all_o man_n do_v he_o homage_n so_o as_o the_o high_a shall_v begin_v &_o give_v example_n to_o the_o low_a see_v then_o that_o the_o judgement_n be_v god_n they_o that_o pervert_v the_o order_n of_o government_n when_o they_o be_v call_v to_o do_v their_o duty_n shall_v be_v double_a blame_v and_o therefore_o shall_v king_n and_o prince_n and_o all_o such_o as_o be_v in_o

it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o it_o belong_v also_o to_o the_o spiritual_a government_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v in_o his_o church_n yea_o and_o this_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o be_v keep_v more_o strait_o in_o that_o respect_n than_o in_o the_o earthly_a government_n why_o when_o god_n ordein_v king_n prince_n and_o magistrate_n there_o withal_o he_o give_v they_o authority_n to_o make_v law_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o learn_v they_o in_o his_o school_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o law_n and_o ordinance_n which_o be_v make_v in_o common_a weal_n 8.15_o prou._n 8.15_o do_v take_v their_o force_n of_o god_n wisdom_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o civil_a or_o politic_a law_n be_v make_v by_o man_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n have_v not_o resign_v any_o thing_n y_z t_z he_o shall_v not_o hold_v still_o the_o sovereign_a dominion_n over_o man_n i_o mean_v even_o in_o respect_n of_o outward_a policy_n and_o as_o touch_v the_o spiritual_a government_n of_o the_o church_n we_o know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v hear_v and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o word_n obey_v above_o all_o thing_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v law_n &_o statute_n but_o must_v hold_v themselves_o content_v with_o that_o which_o he_o command_v they_o for_o the_o rule_n that_o be_v contain_v

at_o all_o from_o it_o see_v that_o god_n have_v once_o set_v it_o down_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o
city_n be_v great_a and_o wall_v up_o to_o the_o sky_n and_o moreover_o we_o have_v see_v there_o the_o son_n of_o the_o enakim_v here_o moses_n bring_v to_o their_o remembrance_n the_o thing_n that_o

say_v it_o be_v do_v at_o the_o request_n of_o the_o people_n now_o these_o two_o thing_n may_v very_o well_o agree_v that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v desire_v to_o have_v the_o

and_o let_v a_o hundred_o yea_o a_o thousand_o other_o go_v than_o cast_v ourselves_o into_o confusion_n with_o the_o great_a multitude_n and_o if_o ever_o this_o be_v needful_a it_o be_v needful_a now_o in_o our_o time_n for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o see_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v turn_v upside_o down_o in_o the_o world_n superstition_n be_v so_o great_a and_o unmeasurable_a as_o be_v pity_n to_o see_v if_o we_o shall_v frame_v our_o life_n to_o the_o common_a trade_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o all_o be_v infect_v with_o robbery_n deceit_n cruelty_n treason_n blasphemy_n contempt_n of_o god_n drunkenness_n whoredom_n pride_n and_o looseness_n now_o then_o whosoever_o fashion_v himself_o to_o the_o custom_n of_o man_n must_v forsake_v god_n and_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o all_o goodness_n he_o must_v give_v himself_o to_o all_o lewdness_n and_o plunge_v himself_o into_o all_o wickedness_n lo_o to_o what_o point_n we_o be_v come_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o look_v upon_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o guide_v we_o aright_o though_o they_o be_v but_o few_o in_o number_n and_o let_v we_o not_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o the_o

if_o any_o man_n do_v we_o wrong_n we_o must_v be_v revenge_v and_o we_o consider_v not_o that_o in_o so_o do_v satan_n win_v great_o at_o our_o hand_n now_o then_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o we_o see_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v write_v for_o our_o use_n and_o instruction_n so_o as_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o likeness_n that_o be_v between_o we_o and_o the_o people_n of_o

our_o ordinary_a bread_n then_o let_v we_o not_o go_v about_o to_o enrich_v ourselves_o by_o unlawful_a mean_n craft_n and_o violence_n neither_o let_v we_o practice_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o by_o

our_o life_n according_a to_o his_o word_n wait_v for_o such_o bessing_n as_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o give_v us._n and_o let_v such_o as_o have_v good_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o forgo_v

special_o when_o we_o have_v his_o promise_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o heretofore_o which_o put_v difference_n between_o the_o true_a

that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o take_v in_o hand_n shall_v be_v good_a and_o when_o they_o once_o have_v his_o promise_n then_o go_v they_o forward_o without_o attempt_v any_o

to_o themselves_o without_o inquire_v of_o god_n will_n and_o thereupon_o they_o stick_v at_o nothing_o in_o so_o do_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o presumptuousnesse_n to_o overthrow_v themselves_o but_o the_o true_a foundation_n be_v to_o have_v god_n promise_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o the_o same_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v us._n and_o if_o we_o have_v that_o regard_n with_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o take_v the_o contrary_a way_n to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o for_o where_o as_o now_o we_o be_v fearful_a in_o the_o good_a quarrel_n that_o god_n allow_v and_o wherein_o we_o ought_v to_o hazard_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o invincible_a constancy_n and_o every_o of_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o his_o duty_n to_o say_v behold_v my_o god_n

that_o god_n be_v my_o warrant_n see_v he_o have_v appoint_v i_o to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o stick_v at_o it_o beside_o this_o we_o have_v also_o a_o promise_n god_n never_o say_v to_o we_o do_v this_o but_o he_o tell_v we_o also_o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o us._n now_o then_o see_v we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v we_o even_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a and_o of_o all_o they_o that_o be_v in_o a_o chafe_n against_o we_o what_o need_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v well_o and_o if_o we_o be_v afraid_a do_v we_o not_o wrong_v unto_o god_n as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o of_o power_n to_o defend_v we_o so_o then_o we_o see_v now_o how_o bold_a and_o hardy_a we_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o maintain_v of_o good_a quarrel_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v we_o special_o when_o we_o be_v to_o encounter_v against_o satan_n and_o against_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o practise_v as_o well_o against_o ourselves_o as_o against_o the_o whole_a church_n therefore_o if_o we_o play_v the_o dastard_a and_o shrink_v away_o when_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o such_o encounter_n as_o we_o see_v most_o man_n do_v who_o seek_v startinghole_n and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o bear_v any_o burden_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o too_o shameful_a treachery_n yes_o for_o we_o can_v step_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o our_o unbelief_n betray_v itself_o what_o cause_v we_o to_o be_v so_o cold_a in_o perform_v our_o duty_n it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o believe_v not_o god_n for_o be_v we_o thorough_o persuade_v that_o he_o will_v keep_v touch_n with_o we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v disappoint_v in_o wait_v for_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o will_v make_v we_o to_o forget_v all_o fear_n and_o all_o the_o goodly_a shift_n that_o we_o devise_v to_o turn_v the_o cat_n in_o the_o pan_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o glorify_v our_o god_n in_o yield_v to_o he_o the_o title_n of_o foothfastnesse_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v hardy_a enough_o not_o to_o follow_v our_o own_o fancy_n but_o to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o holy_a presumptuousnesse_n if_o we_o hold_v we_o to_o this_o line_n and_o rule_v of_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o of_o hope_v that_o he_o will_v perform_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v say_v or_o utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o lesson_n be_v to_o be_v put_v in_o practice_n furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v heerewithall_o how_o god_n add_v here_o that_o he_o will_v strike_v such_o a_o fear_n and_o terror_n into_o these_o people_n heart_n as_o they_o shall_v be_v dismay_v when_o they_o do_v but_o hear_v of_o the_o fame_n of_o the_o jew_n here_o we_o see_v that_o god_n hold_v man_n heart_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o weaken_v they_o or_o strengthen_v they_o at_o his_o pleasure_n true_a it_o be_v that_o man_n imagine_v themselves_o to_o have_v this_o virtue_n of_o manliness_n in_o themselves_o and_o the_o very_a cause_n why_o they_o despise_v god_n be_v that_o every_o of_o they_o make_v his_o account_n to_o compass_v his_o matter_n by_o his_o own_o power_n but_o so_o far_o off_o be_v the_o common_a people_n from_o have_v any_o stoutness_n or_o manhood_n in_o they_o without_o that_o god_n give_v it_o they_o that_o god_n hold_v even_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n in_o his_o hand_n 21.1_o prou._n 21.1_o and_o although_o they_o seem_v to_o themselves_o to_o have_v much_o more_o strength_n and_o courage_n than_o other_o yet_o do_v god_n make_v they_o to_o slip_v away_o like_a water_n when_o he_o think_v good_a so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o man_n power_n to_o be_v valiant_a unless_o god_n strengthen_v he_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v apply_v this_o doctrine_n to_o double_a use_n the_o one_o be_v that_o although_o a_o man_n see_v himself_o to_o be_v weak_a he_o must_v not_o be_v out_o of_o heart_n for_o it_o for_o there_o be_v a_o remedy_n ready_a for_o it_o if_o we_o listen_v to_o seek_v it_o i_o say_v we_o must_v gather_v strength_n of_o mind_n by_o seek_v it_o in_o god_n yea_o even_o whensoever_o we_o be_v hinder_v to_o do_v our_o duty_n for_o want_v of_o courage_n as_o for_o example_n god_n perchance_o call_v we_o to_o glorify_v his_o name_n he_o shole_v we_o out_o from_o

be_v to_o obey_v yea_o and_o we_o know_v how_o far_o all_o our_o ability_n stretch_v again_o we_o see_v also_o a_o great_a number_n of_o hazard_n and_o the_o devil_n will_v face_v we_o with_o this_o

his_o commandment_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v for_o that_o we_o be_v too_o fainthearted_a now_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o stick_v still_o in_o this_o mire_n but_o we_o must_v

stil._n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o word_n shall_v continue_v still_o and_o although_o man_n strain_n themselves_o never_o so_o much_o to_o aboolish_a this_o doctrine_n yet_o notwithstanding_o

thing_n may_v agree_v very_o well_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v harden_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o naughtiness_n and_o yet_o not_o without_o god_n work_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o the_o evil_n proceed_v not_o of_o he_o ne_o aught_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o man_n themselves_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o blame_n and_o

even_o the_o wicked_a sort_n do_v give_v evidence_n against_o themselves_o and_o although_o all_o the_o world_n will_v excuse_v they_o and_o that_o both_o great_a &_o small_a do_v acquit_v they_o yet_o have_v they_o a_o hartbiting_a within_o they_o which_o make_v they_o to_o perceive_v that_o whensoever_o they_o offend_v or_o sin_n they_o do_v it_o willing_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n of_o a_o certain_a lewdness_n and_o with_o their_o own_o wil._n there_o be_v not_o that_o man_n which_o know_v not_o this_o even_o the_o great_a despiser_n of_o god_n that_o be_v say_v i_o even_o they_o

that_o poinâ—_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o it_o be_v that_o god_n harden_v man_n without_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o sin_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o sometime_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v apparent_a and_o whensoever_o god_n punish_v man_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o he_o do_v it_o just_o mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n now_o one_o of_o the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v to_o punish_v man_n with_o all_o be_v that_o he_o blind_v they_o that_o he_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o he_o send_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_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 myself_o in_o my_o evil_a doing_n and_o suffer_v this_o curse_a seed_n to_o take_v root_n in_o my_o heart_n without_o regard_v to_o repress_v it_o so_o as_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o i_o have_v be_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 preserve_v i_o but_o my_o own_o negligence_n be_v to_o blame_v for_o it_o thereof_o it_o come_v that_o i_o have_v yield_v myself_o to_o this_o wicked_a lust_n against_o the_o which_o i_o shall_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
