of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 11.13_o heb._n 11.13_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o

drive_v out_o of_o it_o every_o day_n yet_o possess_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o but_o now_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o abraham_n and_o we_o have_v we_o not_o

when_o man_n be_v to_o be_v bring_v unto_o god_n that_o they_o may_v honour_v he_o &_o serve_v he_o &_o seek_v his_o kingdom_n be_v to_o begin_v at_o his_o free_a promise_n &_o to_o view_v that_o he_o

nature_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o fray_v folk_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o may_v also_o be_v verify_v of_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o must_v take_v it_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o perceive_v god_n presence_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v abash_v we_o see_v how_o the_o very_a angel_n do_v hide_v their_o eye_n 2_o esa._n â—_o 2_o because_o god_n glory_n be_v too_o great_a for_o they_o and_o they_o be_v drive_v to_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v too_o feeble_a as_o creature_n and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o then_o for_o we_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o angel_n and_o beside_o that_o we_o hold_v not_o still_o the_o uncorruptnesse_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o as_o we_o be_v create_v that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o be_v not_o earthly_a man_n as_o our_o father_n adam_n be_v but_o we_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sin_n in_o we_o and_o therefore_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v as_o a_o enemy_n to_o we_o and_o we_o be_v fain_o to_o shun_v his_o throne_n as_o offender_n shun_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o judge_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o their_o power_n to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v but_o wretched_a worm_n and_o

to_o our_o benefit_n that_o god_n show_v himself_o after_o that_o fashion_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o man_n so_o as_o he_o appoint_v man_n to_o show_v we_o his_o will_n as_o well_o

be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o understand_v more_o at_o large_a the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o one_o word_n namely_o that_o the_o law_n fray_v we_o far_o more_o in_o comparison_n than_o the_o gospel_n as_o be_v declare_v also_o more_o at_o length_n elsewhere_o and_o why_o be_v that_o because_o that_o in_o the_o law_n god_n require_v that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o at_o man_n

there_o have_v never_o be_v so_o great_a and_o horrible_a confusion_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o popedom_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n the_o papist_n be_v so_o hot_a after_o their_o ydol_n

in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o perceive_v not_o that_o ydolatrie_n may_v as_o well_o be_v commit_v in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o angel_n yea_o &_o even_o in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o

which_o have_v do_v service_n to_o the_o build_n up_o of_o the_o church_n and_o which_o can_v have_v continue_v in_o do_v the_o same_o still_o that_o be_v a_o wel-ordered_n mourning_n but_o yet_o

call_v we_o to_o y_z e_z hope_v of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v renew_v so_o then_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n humble_v we_o by_o death_n and_o that_o we_o must_v

we_o still_o and_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o perish_v in_o death_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v unto_o we_o a_o passage_n into_o the_o everlasting_a life_n and_o this_o hope_n be_v enough_o to_o comfort_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o heaviness_n at_o leastwise_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v our_o sorrow_n that_o it_o pass_v not_o the_o bound_n and_o so_o

they_o have_v no_o comfort_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o patience_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n call_v we_o to_o the_o hope_n which_o he_o give_v we_o therefore_o after_o we_o have_v weep_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

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

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

well_o that_o moses_n have_v allege_v god_n promise_n and_o have_v say_v that_o the_o land_n be_v at_o the_o people_n commandment_n because_o god_n mean_v not_o to_o fail_v in_o the_o performance_n

that_o we_o can_v stir_v one_o finger_n to_o do_v well_o yet_o have_v god_n make_v we_o instrument_n whereby_o he_o will_v work_v therefore_o we_o must_v go_v forward_o when_o he_o command_v we_o

good_a will_n as_o i_o have_v show_v afore_o now_o it_o follow_v that_o moses_n speak_v unto_o the_o people_n &_o that_o the_o people_n will_v not_o follow_v his_o advice_n but_o be_v disobedien_n to_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n have_v be_v expound_v already_o heretofore_o but_o here_o we_o see_v yet_o more_o clear_o the_o proof_n of_o y_z t_z which_o have_v be_v

now_o then_o we_o see_v that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o word_n receive_v with_o it_o like_o humility_n when_o he_o send_v man_n to_o declare_v his_o commandment_n as_o if_o he_o himself_o be_v among_o they_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o y_z e_z name_n of_o god_n aught_o to_o be_v of_o as_o much_o authority_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o man_n as_o if_o all_o the_o angel_n

therefore_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n this_o order_n of_o moses_n say_v which_o be_v y_z t_z he_o himself_o be_v the_o speaker_n &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o y_fw-fr t_o the_o people_n in_o

of_o his_o goodness_n upon_o they_o yea_o and_o the_o baseness_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n cause_v god_n inestimable_a goodness_n to_o be_v perceive_v the_o better_a and_o give_v the_o great_a

i_o wot_v not_o what_o to_o do_v let_v we_o not_o allege_v this_o 25.9_o â—sa_fw-la 25.9_o but_o let_v we_o say_v with_o the_o prophet_n esay_n behold_v this_o be_v our_o god_n behold_v this_o be_v

of_o our_o god_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o have_v so_o shool_v we_o out_o from_o among_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o we_o must_v also_o mark_v the_o mean_a which_o be_v that_o we_o have_v not_o

god_n secret_n without_o end_n or_o measure_n and_o why_o because_o we_o feel_v not_o our_o own_o unabilitie_n wherefore_o let_v we_o magnify_v the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n for_o that_o it_o

whereunto_o then_o shall_v we_o apply_v his_o say_n of_o moses_n to_o this_o end_n very_o that_o whensoever_o the_o scripture_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o so_o as_o it_o be_v either_o preched_a or_o

hereunto_o moses_n add_v that_o he_o himself_o have_v be_v as_o a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n because_o the_o people_n be_v afraid_a and_o dare_v not_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n whereby_o moses_n do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o deliver_v forth_o of_o the_o law_n by_o a_o mortal_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o diminish_v the_o authority_n thereof_o and_o why_o because_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o people_n require_v it_o that_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o it_o be_v a_o text_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o we_o do_v always_o seek_v startinghole_n that_o we_o may_v despise_v god_n word_n in_o deed_n we_o will_v not_o pretend_v it_o open_o but_o yet_o be_v all_o of_o we_o so_o lewd_o dispose_v that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o well_o at_o ease_n if_o we_o can_v

cut_v off_o the_o occasion_n of_o all_o this_o which_o be_v that_o whereas_o god_n send_v his_o word_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n he_o do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n default_n and_o infirmity_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o give_v we_o some_o mark_n of_o his_o glory_n whereby_o his_o word_n be_v sufficient_o know_v to_o be_v heavenly_a insomuch_o that_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v

thereof_o any_o whit_n at_o all_o and_o in_o deed_n we_o do_v misconsider_v our_o own_o frailty_n when_o we_o desire_v that_o god_n shall_v work_v miracle_n daily_o nay_o very_o we_o can_v tell_v

of_o his_o authority_n to_o bestow_v it_o upon_o man_n which_o be_v no_o better_o but_o dung_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o intolerable_a traiterousnesse_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o

the_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o consider_v how_o they_o have_v well_o deserve_v to_o have_v be_v utter_o root_v out_o if_o god_n have_v not_o show_v they_o mercy_n and_o he_o say_v

that_o a_o man_n shall_v continue_v sigh_v and_o weep_v before_o god_n forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n together_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o moses_n by_o miracle_n

it_o may_v well_o seem_v that_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v with_o the_o people_n be_v quite_o break_v and_o utter_o disannul_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o moses_n

that_o we_o must_v mark_v well_o that_o whereas_o moses_n forbear_v meat_n and_o drink_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n together_o it_o be_v not_o do_v by_o human_a power_n neither_o be_v it_o

consider_v all_o our_o life_n long_o how_o great_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o god_n for_o utter_v so_o great_a goodness_n unto_o us._n there_o be_v a_o number_n to_o be_v see_v which_o do_v but_o wring_v

contrariwise_o it_o be_v show_v we_o here_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o although_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o and_o listen_v not_o to_o call_v our_o fault_n to_o account_v yet_o must_v not_o we_o therefore_o thrust_v they_o under_o foot_n but_o rather_o call_v they_o to_o mind_v every_o day_n that_o it_o may_v first_o of_o all_o provoke_v we_o to_o repentance_n assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v fall_v eftsoo_o ne_o if_o god_n preserve_v we_o not_o and_o second_o make_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o we_o stand_v not_o but_o through_o his_o free_a mercy_n and_o final_o encourage_v we_o to_o magnify_v his_o name_n for_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o dungeon_n whereinto_o we_o be_v fall_v see_v then_o that_o we_o be_v so_o much_o bind_v unto_o he_o let_v we_o be_v the_o willing_a to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o place_n beside_o this_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o post_n but_o that_o we_o must_v continue_v in_o pray_v without_o be_v weary_a and_o that_o be_v a_o point_n right_n necessary_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o whereas_o there_o be_v many_o fault_n in_o we_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a that_o we_o can_v settle_v ourselves_o unto_o prayer_n but_o we_o be_v fleet_v so_o as_o our_o mouth_n be_v no_o soon_o open_v but_o our_o wit_n be_v by_o and_o by_o wander_v elsewhere_o and_o beside_o that_o if_o we_o have_v pray_v unto_o god_n once_o we_o think_v it_o enough_o and_o too_o much_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v that_o moses_n be_v forty_o day_n together_o in_o continual_a mourning_n for_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o people_n therefore_o in_o our_o pray_n unto_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v the_o perseveraunce_n whereunto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n exhort_v we_o 〈…〉_o luk._n 〈…〉_o say_v that_o we_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

good_n such_o as_o concern_v but_o this_o transitory_a life_n yet_o he_o lead_v they_o further_o thereby_o first_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n not_o only_o give_v and_o bestow_v upon_o we_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o know_v to_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o but_o also_o in_o large_v and_o extend_v his_o riches_n yet_o further_o by_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o overmeasure_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o natural_a necessity_n what_o need_v we_o more_o than_o bread_n and_o water_n but_o god_n add_v wine_n to_o comfort_n and_o

when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o word_n be_v in_o our_o mouth_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o be_v thereof_o in_o our_o mouth_n be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v talk_v

then_o we_o must_v ever_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v effectual_a &_o that_o they_o be_v no_o trifle_a sign_n which_o vanish_v away_o in_o the_o air_n but_o that_o the_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

may-game_n and_o no_o better_o as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o popedom_n they_o have_v many_o sign_n which_o they_o will_v have_v man_n to_o accept_v as_o high_a mystery_n what_o a_o sort_n fond_a

of_o man_n eye_n and_o why_o for_o if_o a_o man_n demand_v from_o whence_o those_o thing_n come_v he_o shall_v find_v that_o man_n forge_v they_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n for_o they_o from_o god_n yea_o and_o even_o we_o ourselves_o do_v see_v that_o they_o have_v defile_v baptism_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o can_v not_o utter_o dispatch_v it_o out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o that_o even_o in_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n and_o in_o spite_n of_o satan_n who_o stir_v they_o thereunto_o and_o reign_v over_o they_o yet_o still_o at_o this_o day_n our_o lord_n jesus_n

the_o baptism_n itself_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o rest_n for_o they_o esteem_v not_o a_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o water_n as_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o but_o the_o water_n must_v be_v charm_v aforehande_v and_o it_o must_v have_v conjuration_n make_v over_o it_o and_o then_o must_v other_o invention_n be_v mingle_v with_o it_o as_o spital_n sault_n and_o taper_n &_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 term_v it_o and_o their_o sacrament_n of_o aneal_v and_o all_o their_o other_o pelt_a toy_n and_o to_o be_v short_a what_o else_o be_v all_o the_o ceremony_n which_o we_o see_v among_o they_o but_o utter_a illusion_n of_o satan_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o discern_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n ordeyn_v and_o allow_v by_o his_o word_n from_o the_o thing_n that_o man_n have_v putfoorth_o at_o adventure_n and_o after_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o as_o god_n truth_n be_v always_o certain_a and_o infallible_a so_o y_z e_z thing_n that_o be_v bring_v up_o

have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v further_o that_o when_o man_n be_v choose_v to_o govern_v god_n church_n so_o it_o be_v by_o orderly_o proceed_v according_a to_o his_o word_n they_o shall_v be_v guide_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o and_o he_o will_v furnish_v they_o with_o his_o gracious_a gift_n as_o far_o as_o shall_v be_v needful_a for_o they_o and_o whereas_o we_o
