5._o lo_o my_o spirit_n be_v plunge_v as_o it_o be_v in_o some_o great_a depth_n they_o surmount_v in_o number_n the_o hair_n of_o my_o head_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o 40._o psalm_n again_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v know_v how_o far_o we_o be_v all_o bind_v to_o god_n in_o general_a let_v every_o one_o in_o the_o privy_a chamber_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n consider_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o old_a time_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n i_o have_v redeem_v you_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n let_v we_o remember_v from_o whence_o our_o lord_n have_v deliver_v we_o when_o it_o please_v he_o to_o receive_v we_o into_o his_o fannlie_a &_o into_o his_o church_n for_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o adam_n by_o nature_n curse_v and_o inheritor_n of_o death_n we_o have_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o sin_n &_o so_o consequent_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v accurse_v before_o god_n let_v man_n please_v &_o magnify_v themselves_o as_o they_o listen_v yet_o behold_v their_o birth_n behold_v their_o nobility_n they_o be_v but_o bondslave_n of_o satan_n they_o have_v a_o sink_v &_o bottomless_a gulf_n of_o corruption_n in_o they_o they_o be_v worthy_a that_o the_o wrath_n &_o malediction_n of_o god_n fall_v on_o their_o head_n brief_o be_v banish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n they_o be_v give_v over_o to_o all_o misery_n &_o wretchedness_n now_o our_o lord_n and_o god_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o son_n have_v hence_o deliver_v we_o he_o have_v not_o send_v a_o moses_n as_o to_o the_o people_n of_o ancient_a time_n but_o not_o spare_v his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v deliver_v he_o to_o death_n for_o we_o be_v then_o ransom_v with_o so_o dear_a and_o inestimable_a a_o price_n as_o be_v the_o holy_a and_o sacred_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n ought_v we_o not_o whole_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o and_o withal_o let_v we_o note_v that_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o egypt_n be_v a_o house_n of_o bondage_n what_o thraldom_n and_o servitude_n be_v this_o when_o satan_n hold_v we_o in_o his_o bond_n and_o under_o his_o tyranny_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o we_o have_v no_o mean_a to_o escape_v death_n that_o we_o be_v exclude_v from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n that_o god_n be_v our_o enemy_n and_o adversary_n now_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o this_o be_v not_o our_o redemption_n far_o more_o great_a and_o excellent_a than_o this_o whereof_o moses_n here_o speak_v so_o in_o steed_n that_o it_o be_v sa●ed_v to_o the_o ancient_a people_n thy_o god_n have_v deliver_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n it_o be_v now_o say_v that_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o satan_n to_o live_v unto_o the_o lord_n as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v in_o the._n 9_o 14._o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o the_o six_o of_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n 19_o that_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o it_o behave_v therefore_o the_o faithful_a that_o they_o presume_v not_o on_o the_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o seem_v they_o and_o to_o live_v every_o one_o after_o his_o own_o lust_n and_o why_o so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n therefore_o die_v &_o rise_v again_o &_o revive_v 9_o that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o quick_a &_o dead_a it_o be_v then_o good_a reason_n that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o live_n &_o of_o the_o dead_a see_v he_o have_v not_o spare_v himself_o for_o our_o redemption_n &_o salvation_n and_o beside_o this_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v offer_v himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n to_o redeem_v we_o let_v we_o know_v that_o at_o this_o day_n by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o gospel_n he_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o this_o benefit_n for_o he_o have_v gather_v we_o to_o himself_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v of_o his_o flock_n and_o inheritance_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o be_v that_o undefiled_a lamb_n and_o without_o spot_n which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o have_v offer_v himself_o so_o reconcile_v man_n unto_o god_n howbeit_o so_o it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v many_o people_n for_o saken_a to_o who_o the_o gate_n be_v shut_v and_o to_o who_o god_n have_v not_o show_v this_o favour_n to_o enlighten_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n as_o we_o be_v and_o withal_o let_v we_o note_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v unto_o we_o we_o have_v herein_o a_o sure_a testimony_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v make_v the_o redemption_n which_o he_o have_v once_o accomplish_v available_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o rejoice_v in_o such_o a_o benefit_n let_v we_o learn_v then_o that_o our_o unthankfulness_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o villainous_a if_o we_o employ_v not_o all_o our_o pain_n to_o serve_v that_o god_n which_o have_v by_o such_o benefit_n bind_v we_o unto_o himself_o if_o such_o

and_o lawless_a in_o their_o live_n this_o may_v well_o be_v because_o they_o have_v no_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v they_o because_o the_o lord_n rain_v they_o not_o back_o as_o he_o do_v his_o

rather_o to_o estrange_v they_o from_o he_o and_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n have_v gain_v a_o empire_n and_o kingdom_n among_o they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o all_o be_v full_a of_o deceit_n &_o

the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n be_v call_v one_o god_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o moses_n do_v make_v comparison_n between_o the_o god_n which_o publish_v

of_o the_o earth_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o idol_n which_o they_o worship_v and_o how_o so_o they_o name_v he_o creator_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n they_o have_v no_o image_n it_o be_v true_a but_o yet_o have_v they_o but_o a_o idol_n in_o stead_n of_o god_n because_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o lively_a image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n and_o we_o know_v what_o saint_n john_n say_v 23._o that_o he_o which_o deny_v the_o son_n he_o deny_v the_o father_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o god_n but_o a_o idol_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o jew_n the_o jew_n will_v brag_v much_o that_o they_o have_v the_o law_n and_o that_o they_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n of_o isaac_n and_o of_o jacob_n but_o what_o they_o be_v apostate_n they_o have_v renounce_v the_o law_n of_o god_n when_o they_o have_v reicete_v and_o refuse_v jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v he_o by_o who_o god_n the_o father_n will_v manifest_v and_o open_v himself_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v he_o in_o who_o he_o will_v be_v worship_v 12._o and_o again_o he_o say_v 23._o risse_z the_o son_n who_o

which_o vaunt_v not_o of_o serve_v god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n reject_v all_o that_o which_o man_n think_v to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a you_o know_v not_o say_v he_o what_o you_o worship_v he_o show_v hereby_o that_o it_o be_v requisite_a and_o needful_a there_o be_v make_v some_o manifest_a declaration_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o walk_v here_o at_o all_o adventure_n but_o we_o must_v be_v assure_v what_o the_o god_n be_v who_o we_o serve_v and_o worship_n now_o see_v god_n must_v be_v know_v of_o we_o to_o be_v right_o serve_v and_o worship_v let_v we_o consider_v whence_o this_o

for_o every_o one_o to_o think_v what_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o he_o to_o say_v i_o have_v know_v god_n no_o no_o but_o god_o must_v declare_v and_o show_v himself_o he_o must_v approach_v and_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o so_o the_o only_a mean_a to_o know_v god_o aright_o be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v teach_v and_o instruct_v in_o his_o word_n and_o lo_o why_o he_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n for_o this_o people_n have_v receive_v the_o law_n and_o again_o the_o covenant_n have_v be_v make_v with_o their_o father_n god_o have_v separate_v this_o flock_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o be_v not_o then_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n here_o lead_v the_o people_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n they_o estrange_v and_o keep_v themselves_o from_o all_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o paynim_n that_o they_o have_v nothing_o common_a with_o the_o unfaithful_a one_o but_o that_o they_o know_v that_o whereas_o god_n have_v manifest_v himself_o so_o familiar_o unto_o they_o they_o have_v a_o most_o certain_a and_o infallible_a truth_n now_o if_o this_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n it_o agree_v much_o better_a unto_o we_o for_o albeit_o god_n have_v give_v a_o sufficient_a admonition_n unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o be_v not_o mingle_v among_o the_o pollusion_n of_o the_o paynim_n in_o
