nothing_o account_v of_o that_o as_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o prefer_v obedience_n before_o it_o second_o he_o aggravate_v his_o disobedience_n by_o a_o reason_n compare_v it_o with_o witchcraft_n and_o

who_o stir_v not_o a_o whit_n at_o samuel_n call_v and_o cry_v to_o he_o hitherto_o but_o when_o he_o ring_v this_o alarom_n in_o his_o ear_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o

better_a understanding_n of_o the_o place_n which_o otherwise_o have_v some_o difficulty_n by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o shall_v not_o see_v the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v afford_v we_o therein_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o begin_v with_o that_o be_v a_o holy_a thing_n bring_v by_o he_o that_o give_v it_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o offer_v by_o the_o priest_n unto_o the_o lord_n according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o they_o the_o one_o propitiatory_a whereby_o they_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n which_o be_v figure_v thereby_o the_o other_o eucharistical_a by_o offer_v whereof_o they_o testify_v their_o thanks_o to_o god_n for_o benefit_n receive_v of_o he_o both_o be_v command_v by_o god_n and_o burn_v offering_n be_v one_o kind_n the_o first_o wherein_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v be_v whole_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v signify_v that_o he_o who_o offer_v it_o do_v whole_o consecrate_v himself_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o the_o lord_n now_o these_o all_o be_v command_v by_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v therefore_o accept_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o why_o be_v not_o the_o offering_n of_o they_o account_v obedience_n for_o the_o answer_n of_o this_o doubt_n three_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v mark_v first_o if_o obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o sacrifice_n may_v go_v together_o they_o be_v both_o accept_v second_o if_o they_o can_v not_o go_v together_o as_o oft_o time_n it_o fall_v out_o they_o do_v not_o for_o he_o that_o be_v obedient_a can_v not_o always_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o one_o may_v offer_v sacrifice_n who_o yet_o be_v not_o obedient_a to_o god_n in_o such_o a_o case_n obedience_n be_v accept_v of_o god_n without_o sacrifice_n three_o sacrifice_n may_v be_v offer_v by_o he_o who_o obey_v not_o god_n but_o that_o never_o please_v god_n of_o this_o samuel_n speak_v here_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o if_o saul_n and_o the_o people_n mean_v to_o offer_v any_o as_o he_o say_v they_o purpose_v to_o do_v it_o be_v nothing_o be_v without_o obedience_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o most_o and_o the_o best_a that_o can_v be_v say_v of_o it_o so_o that_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n at_o the_o best_a even_o when_o both_o go_v together_o much_o more_o be_v it_o better_o when_o sacrifice_n go_v alone_o doct._n 16._o sacrifice_n please_v not_o god_n without_o obedience_n this_o be_v thus_o say_v which_o be_v necessary_a let_v samuel_n word_n have_v the_o lord_n as_o great_a pleasure_n in_o sacrifice_n as_o that_o his_o voice_n shall_v be_v obey_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o most_o religious_a action_n that_o god_n require_v such_o as_o sacrifice_n be_v as_o prayer_n hear_v the_o word_n the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n etc._n etc._n be_v in_o no_o account_n with_o god_n if_o he_o that_o use_v they_o be_v not_o obedient_a in_o his_o life_n to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o a_o repentant_a christian_a a_o wonderful_a and_o fearful_a doctrine_n yet_o most_o true_a for_o this_o our_o age_n wherein_o so_o few_o be_v or_o think_v it_o meet_v they_o shall_v be_v obedient_a to_o the_o truth_n in_o particular_a which_o be_v teach_v they_o and_o have_v nothing_o to_o commend_v they_o unto_o god_n unless_o it_o be_v the_o ceremonious_a worship_v of_o god_n in_o the_o manner_n i_o have_v mention_v a_o service_n not_o better_o than_o the_o offering_n of_o sacrifice_n which_o we_o see_v without_o obedience_n be_v nothing_o worth_a indeed_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v 3._o bless_a be_v he_o that_o hear_v and_o read_v and_o keep_v the_o content_n of_o that_o book_n but_o not_o he_o that_o hear_v and_o read_v only_o but_o that_o keep_v it_o also_o so_o then_o this_o obedience_n to_o god_n will_v be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o sacrifice_n but_o to_o be_v prefer_v far_o before_o they_o sacrifice_n be_v offering_n to_o god_n which_o be_v command_v but_o so_o as_o they_o offer_v they_o in_o faith_n and_o repentance_n also_o but_o obedience_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o both_o therefore_o to_o be_v prefer_v the_o lord_n tell_v the_o israelite_n i_o require_v no_o sacrifice_n of_o your_o father_n after_o that_o i_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n mean_v after_o that_o in_o sinai_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v obey_v my_o voice_n 6._o and_o that_o be_v our_o wisdom_n 28._o so_o he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o outward_o therefore_o our_o outward_a worship_n be_v nothing_o if_o the_o heart_n go_v not_o with_o it_o whatsoever_o man_n answer_v in_o their_o defence_n if_o they_o obey_v not_o prayer_n be_v nothing_o cap._n 13.13_o we_o hold_v the_o general_n but_o the_o particular_a we_o look_v not_o unto_o for_o then_o our_o heart_n shall_v be_v take_v up_o whole_o in_o one_o duty_n after_o another_o which_o now_o be_v scarce_o do_v in_o any_o to_o purpose_n and_o it_o be_v call_v obedience_n of_o faith_n see_v we_o must_v believe_v that_o god_n require_v a_o thing_n of_o we_o before_o we_o can_v or_o will_v do_v it_o but_o man_n deal_v with_o god_n as_o one_o with_o another_o for_o they_o cog_v and_o deceive_v and_o time_n must_v wash_v it_o away_o and_o then_o good_a
