then_o we_o must_v not_o bring_v our_o own_o fancy_n to_o judge_v of_o theft_n think_v to_o escape_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n when_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v of_o man_n nor_o punish_v by_o earthly_a judgement_n for_o god_n proceed_v in_o this_o much_o further_a &_o high_o let_v we_o therefore_o brief_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o touch_v god_n all_o kind_n of_o harm_n do_v when_o we_o desire_v to_o pluck_v unto_o we_o that_o which_o be_v not_o we_o be_v name_v theft_n throughout_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o in_o deed_n when_o god_n menace_v a_o woe_n by_o the_o prophet_n

that_o none_o charge_v these_o of_o theft_n nay_o these_o sit_v as_o judge_n &_o condemner_n of_o other_o petty_a thief_n and_o yet_o fail_v they_o not_o to_o be_v condemn_v before_o god_n and_o thus_o the_o thief_n which_o be_v honourable_a here_o below_o on_o earth_n be_v notwithstanding_o accurse_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o he_o have_v pronounce_v on_o they_o his_o determinate_a

thereof_o shall_v be_v ready_a at_o hand_n for_o our_o condemnation_n god_n have_v forbid_v nothing_o which_o he_o will_v not_o call_v into_o account_n you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n concern_v this_o place_n now_o it_o rest_v that_o that_o which_o we_o have_v brief_o touch_v we_o handle_v more_o ample_o and_o as_o we_o may_v say_v by_o piecemeal_n specify_v it_o by_o example_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v better_o understand_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v if_o we_o be_v diligent_a and_o attentive_a to_o hearken_v unto_o that_o which_o god_n declare_v unto_o we_o we_o need_v not_o make_v here_o any_o long_a exposition_n but_o what_o we_o seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o cloak_n and_o hide_v ourselves_o with_o some_o dissimulation_n and_o albeit_o

all_o
as_o it_o be_v requisite_a we_o shall_v then_o be_v accurse_v and_o condemn_v when_o god_n shall_v judge_v we_o in_o any_o rigour_n and_o severity_n so_o then_o man_n must_v not_o here_o vaunt_v themselves_o of_o obtain_v any_o reward_n which_o they_o have_v merit_v nor_o boast_v of_o their_o work_n but_o rather_o let_v they_o know_v that_o all_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v give_v

so_o little_a as_o may_v be_v wherein_o man_n acquit_v themselves_o shall_v be_v always_o find_v some_o wickedness_n and_o some_o blot_n or_o other_o so_o then_o god_o shall_v just_o reject_v and_o

herein_o what_o ever_o we_o allege_v to_o make_v our_o cause_n good_a god_n will_v not_o leave_v we_o unpunished_a for_o this_o be_v no_o vain_a threat_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o controversy_n and_o anger_n which_o visit_v the_o iniquity_n of_o parent_n upon_o their_o child_n thus_o you_o see_v then_o two_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o this_o place_n the_o one_o be_v that_o because_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n over_o much_o give_v to_o idolatry_n this_o threaten_a of_o god_n come_v always_o before_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o end_n we_o presume_v not_o to_o mingle_v any_o thing_n with_o his_o word_n or_o to_o devise_v any_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n but_o that_o we_o serve_v he_o pure_o according_a to_o his_o nature_n and_o not_o according_a to_o our_o fantasy_n and_o let_v this_o be_v for_o one_o note_n the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o know_v we_o must_v not_o pretend_v our_o good_a i_o aninge_n to_o justify_v that_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v invent_v and_o devise_v but_o contrary_a wise_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o principal_a service_n which_o god_n require_v be_v obedience_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o this_o sentence_n god_n say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o be_o thy_o everliving_a thy_o god_n or_o thy_o mighty_a and_o strong_a one_o here_o again_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o all_o idol_n for_o we_o have_v already_o see_v that_o to_o redress_v the_o superstition_n of_o the_o israelite_n he_o declare_v himself_o in_o his_o majesty_n now_o this_o be_v to_o take_v all_o excuse_n from_o man_n when_o god_o once_o manifest_v himself_o unto_o they_o when_o we_o know_v not_o which_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n neither_o can_v discern_v who_o be_v the_o true_a god_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o all_o our_o sense_n wander_v and_o we_o run_v hither_o and_o thither_o without_o any_o right_n direct_v of_o our_o way_n as_o poor_a night-wanderer_n but_o when_o god_n have_v once_o declare_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o know_v his_o truth_n then_o be_v there_o great_a reason_n that_o all_o our_o dream_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o that_o we_o abide_v steadfast_a in_o that_o whereof_o we_o have_v knowledge_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n repeat_v this_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v declare_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n and_o have_v choose_v they_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o will_v govern_v they_o even_o by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v now_o publish_v and_o of_o purpose_n name_v he_o himself_o a_o jealous_a god_n &_o wrathful_a for_o this_o word_n import_v both_o these_o thing_n and_o again_o although_o he_o be_v call_v here_o god_n notwithstanding_o the_o word_n he_o here_o use_v be_v derive_v from_o a_o word_n which_o signify_v strength_n &_o fear_n now_o when_o he_o name_v himself_o jealous_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o mean_v thereby_o to_o signify_v that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v that_o his_o honour_n be_v violate_v or_o that_o he_o be_v rob_v of_o that_o which_o proper_o belong_v unto_o he_o to_o have_v it_o give_v to_o creature_n that_o he_o can_v not_o patient_o endure_v any_o such_o treachery_n therefore_o when_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o price_v on_o our_o part_n as_o it_o deserve_v let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o neglect_v it_o for_o we_o shall_v feel_v in_o the_o end_n that_o he_o forget_v not_o himself_o but_o will_v maintain_v his_o glory_n as_o he_o declare_v throughout_o all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n very_o if_o we_o have_v but_o one_o drop_n of_o true_a understanding_n we_o will_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o god_n so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v stir_v up_o hereunto_o we_o will_v of_o ourselves_o endeavour_n to_o accomplish_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o psalm_n 9_o that_o be_v that_o his_o zeal_n shall_v devour_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v burn_v within_o ourselves_o when_o we_o see_v his_o

that_o man_n have_v it_o in_o derision_n and_o mockery_n or_o at_o least_o that_o man_n mangle_v and_o tear_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v whole_o set_v on_o

which_o concern_v man_n so_o it_o behove_v that_o in_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a place_n the_o rule_n of_o honour_v god_n as_o we_o ought_v shall_v be_v give_v and_o this_o be_v handle_v &_o

duty_n we_o owe_v unto_o man_n now_o we_o have_v also_o declare_v that_o god_n require_v no_o honour_n of_o we_o for_o any_o need_n he_o have_v of_o it_o or_o for_o any_o profit_n it_o bring_v unto_o

to_o walk_v in_o all_o equity_n and_o uprightness_n with_o our_o neighbour_n and_o that_o we_o live_v together_o in_o such_o concord_n and_o fellowship_n that_o any_o one_o be_v not_o give_v unto_o

say_v i_o be_v the_o proof_n which_o god_n make_v to_o know_v whether_o we_o worship_v he_o unfeigned_o and_o from_o our_o heart_n for_o we_o may_v make_v many_o fair_a countenance_n and_o use_v

shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n may_v not_o bind_v they_o but_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n abase_v himself_o to_o our_o rudeness_n and_o that_o he_o speak_v gross_o according_a

only_o the_o exterior_a act_n and_o permit_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o be_v give_v unto_o our_o wicked_a lust_n and_o affection_n for_o god_o will_v not_o be_v serve_v with_o eye_n service_n

here_o recite_v unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n we_o know_v that_o god_n appli_v himself_o to_o our_o slenderness_n and_o infirmity_n when_o

this_o as_o well_o unto_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o must_v take_v this_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o feel_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v confound_v we_o see_v how_o the_o angel_n hide_v their_o eye_n because_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v great_a than_o they_o can_v bear_v and_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v overweake_a to_o behold_v it_o as_o be_v creature_n what_o shall_v then_o be_v say_v of_o we_o for_o we_o be_v far_o inferior_a unto_o the_o angel_n and_o there_o be_v beside_o in_o we_o a_o other_o thing_n which_o make_v our_o infirmity_n the_o great_a namely_o that_o we_o retain_v not_o that_o integrity_n and_o innocence_n of_o our_o first_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o such_o as_o god_n create_v we_o that_o be_v to_o say_v earthly_a man_n only_o as_o be_v our_o father_n adam_n but_o we_o be_v altogether_o corrupt_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o god_n be_v make_v our_o enemy_n and_o that_o we_o fly_v from_o his_o throne_n as_o malefactor_n will_v keep_v themselves_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v from_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o their_o judge_n brief_o we_o be_v poor_a miserable_a worm_n and_o stink_a carrion_n so_o then_o as_o soon_o as_o god_o shall_v approach_v and_o come_v near_o unto_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v fright_v with_o so_o great_a a_o fear_n as_o to_o be_v beat_v therewith_o down_o to_o the_o ground_n therefore_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o we_o that_o god_n declare_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o have_v be_v already_o touch_v namely_o by_o the_o mean_a and_o ministry_n of_o man_n that_o he_o ordain_v and_o appoint_v man_n to_o expound_v we_o his_o will_n as_o if_o he_o himself_o speak_v and_o that_o his_o word_n be_v receive_v of_o we_o in_o such_o reverence_n as_o if_o we_o hear_v he_o to_o thunder_v from_o the_o heaven_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v profitable_a for_o we_o more_o full_o to_o understand_v that_o which_o in_o a_o word_n we_o have_v here_o touch_v and_o else_o where_o more_o large_o handle_v namely_o that_o the_o law_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o gospel_n fright_v and_o fray_v we_o with_o a_o wonderful_a fear_n and_o why_o be_v this_o because_o that_o in_o the_o law_n god_n require_v of_o man_n that_o which_o be_v his_o due_n now_o consider_v we_o whether_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discharge_v ourselves_o herein_o nay_o contrariwise_o whether_o we_o be_v not_o as_o poor_a and_o miserable_a debtor_n which_o have_v not_o one_o farthing_n to_o pay_v you_o see_v then_o in_o what_o a_o desperate_a case_n we_o be_v for_o however_o the_o case_n stand_v with_o we_o god_n discharge_v we_o not_o but_o declare_v that_o

and_o condemn_v behold_v the_o language_n and_o speech_n of_o the_o law_n behold_v the_o style_n which_o god_n use_v and_o now_o must_v not_o all_o need_v tremble_v hereat_o it_o be_v not_o then_o without_o great_a cause_n say_v that_o the_o law_n fray_v we_o and_o if_o withal_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n severe_o to_o require_v of_o we_o that_o which_o we_o owe_v he_o we_o must_v all_o need_v perish_v and_o be_v confound_v now_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n for_o there_o god_o bear_v with_o we_o and_o not_o only_o pardon_v we_o our_o fault_n but_o he_o write_v also_o his_o will_n in_o our_o heart_n moreover_o albeit_o we_o serve_v he_o but_o by_o half_n yet_o he_o pardon_v we_o our_o default_n and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v wink_v and_o close_v his_o eye_n when_o we_o be_v halt_v in_o our_o duty_n and_o as_o a_o father_n deal_v not_o over_o straight_o and_o precise_o with_o his_o child_n to_o oppress_v he_o so_o god_n in_o his_o gospel_n ule_v a_o fatherly_a gentleness_n towards_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o fear_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n sai_v 18._o that_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o this_o mount_n which_o smoke_v that_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o sinai_n to_o see_v the_o brune_a fire_n which_o may_v astonnish_v we_o to_o see_v the_o

yet_o nothing_o but_o obscure_a shadow_n that_o god_n now_o couple_v &_o join_v we_o with_o they_o which_o in_o old_a time_n have_v wait_v for_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v not_o draw_v back_o but_o every_o one_o must_v set_v himself_o forward_o to_o come_v with_o a_o bold_a courage_n to_o hear_v our_o god_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o speak_v so_o

their_o heart_n unto_o he_o this_o difference_n therefore_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v note_v that_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o law_n the_o gospel_n may_v seem_v sweet_a and_o amiable_a unto_o we_o but_o for_o all_o this_o we_o must_v return_v to_o this_o general_a principle_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n than_o if_o god_o himself_o shall_v thunder_v from_o heaven_n and_o why_o for_o hear_v we_o only_o this_o natural_a thunder_n and_o behold_v we_o be_v take_v with_o a_o great_a

the_o majesty_n of_o god_o if_o it_o be_v full_o show_v we_o and_o in_o his_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o mortal_a creature_n can_v not_o see_v god_o and_o live_v can_v not_o behold_v his_o glory_n and_o not_o be_v utter_o confound_v i_o grant_v that_o god_o appear_v unto_o moses_n and_o that_o not_o in_o such_o sort_n only_o as_o to_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n

notwithstanding_o in_o this_o sovereign_a and_o principal_a vision_n which_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o mount_n then_o when_o he_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o mortal_a and_o

these_o good_a property_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o we_o if_o we_o will_v conform_v ourselves_o to_o the_o will_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n so_o then_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o marvel_v that_o god_n

himself_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n and_o to_o be_v understand_v even_o of_o the_o most_o idiote_n for_o we_o see_v how_o every_o one_o excuse_v himself_o of_o ignorance_n and_o if_o a_o thing_n

rather_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o murder_n and_o why_o because_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n contrary_n to_o nature_n when_o man_n advance_v themselves_o to_o deface_v the_o image_n of_o god_n we_o must_v then_o needs_o have_v murder_n in_o horror_n and_o detestation_n except_o we_o be_v altogether_o brutish_a and_o beastly_a how_o ever_o it_o be_v this_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v over_o enormous_a and_o outrageous_a and_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o detest_v and_o have_v in_o execration_n which_o be_v as_o murder_v god_n therefore_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v hold_v we_o in_o more_o strong_a and_o sure_a bond_n and_o the_o better_o withdraw_v we_o from_o all_o harm_n do_v and_o from_o all_o wrong_n and_o injury_n show_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o pollute_v

in_o this_o thing_n our_o lord_n declare_v there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o murder_n commit_v but_o the_o earth_n therewith_o must_v needs_o be_v pollute_v and_o defile_v as_o it_o be_v handle_v hereof_o in_o a_o other_o place_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o effusion_n of_o man_n blood_n in_o itself_o import_v a_o filth_n 33_o and_o uncleanness_n and_o such_o a_o blot_n which_o scarce_o can_v

for_o until_o we_o be_v come_v to_o such_o perfection_n god_n shall_v always_o account_v we_o for_o murderer_n if_o any_o one_o strike_v his_o neighbour_n albeit_o he_o slay_v he_o not_o lo_o he_o

man_n be_v by_o good_a right_n convict_v to_o have_v repel_v and_o despiteful_o refuse_v the_o gracious_a goodness_n of_o god_n and_o to_o have_v debar_v he_o of_o all_o access_n and_o entrance_n by_o

to_o this_o point_n to_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v we_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n to_o serve_v he_o but_o if_o thorough_a infirmity_n we_o fail_v in_o our_o duty_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o condemn_v
