that_o the_o jew_n be_v too_o to_o blind_v vaunt_v themselves_o in_o their_o father_n as_o though_o the_o dignity_n which_o they_o sometime_o have_v come_v from_o the_o holiness_n and_o virtue_n of_o man_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o isaac_n asmuch_o as_n in_o he_o lay_v overthrow_v the_o election_n of_o god_n not_o that_o he_o have_v a_o will_v so_o to_o do_v for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v ask_v he_o how_o now_o will_v thou_o resist_v god_n will_v thou_o let_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o put_v in_o execution_n that_o which_o he_o have_v pronounce_v will_v thou_o alter_v that_o which_o he_o have_v pronounce_v by_o his_o mouth_n he_o will_v have_v say_v no_o and_o his_o intent_n be_v not_o such_o but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v he_o be_v drive_v and_o draw_v that_o way_n so_o then_o we_o may_v not_o say_v that_o isaac_n go_v about_o to_o help_v the_o election_n of_o god_n nor_o set_v it_o forward_o but_o contrariwise_o he_o hinder_v it_o now_o by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o all_o mouth_n must_v be_v shut_v and_o that_o man_n pretend_v not_o too_o have_v have_v any_o thing_n in_o their_o person_n to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v confirm_v unto_o they_o the_o blissing_n which_o he_o have_v already_o give_v they_o to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v hereby_o that_o like_o as_o the_o election_n of_o god_n be_v free_a &_o undeserved_a in_o his_o first_o beginning_n &_o foundation_n and_o in_o full_a force_n so_o also_o it_o behove_v that_o god_n show_v unto_o the_o end_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o his_o only_a mercy_n and_o that_o all_o that_o be_v say_v on_o man_n behalf_n do_v cease_v &_o be_v abolish_v &_o that_o this_o be_v not_o either_o of_o the_o willer_n or_o of_o the_o runner_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v rom._n 9_o mark_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v now_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o see_v also_o the_o steadfastness_n which_o be_v in_o this_o counsel_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o choose_v those_o who_o he_o think_v good_a so_o we_o have_v to_o resolve_v ourselves_o although_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v labour_v to_o overthrow_v our_o salvation_n that_o yet_o it_o will_v remain_v sure_a so_o that_o we_o have_v our_o refuge_n always_o to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v show_v we_o before_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v into_o his_o keep_v all_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o as_o be_v his_o own_o &_o that_o nothing_o thereof_o shall_v perish_v forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v strong_a than_o man_n for_o it_o be_v thither_o that_o he_o do_v lead_v we_o the_o father_n who_o have_v give_v you_o unto_o i_o be_v strong_a than_o all_o so_o they_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o stay_v ourselves_o whole_o upon_o the_o invincible_a power_n of_o god_n when_o there_o be_v any_o question_n of_o be_v assure_v that_o in_o call_v upon_o he_o we_o shall_v be_v hear_v &_o that_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o as_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o into_o a_o good_a way_n so_o he_o will_v give_v we_o perseverance_n and_o although_o that_o we_o be_v weak_a and_o frail_a yet_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o fall_v but_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v lead_v in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o will_v more_o and_o more_o increase_v his_o power_n in_o we_o we_o must_v therefore_o come_v even_o thus_o far_o namely_o that_o jacob_n have_v not_o only_o those_o his_o enemy_n which_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_o and_o be_v irreligious_a but_o even_o his_o own_o father_n isaac_n yea_o who_o be_v then_o as_o chief_a in_o the_o church_n god_n have_v put_v he_o in_o trust_n as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o covenant_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o treasurer_n thereof_o and_o despense_v it_o and_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o election_n of_o jacob_n wherefore_o if_o we_o see_v many_o contrariety_n and_o that_o it_o seem_v our_o salvation_n must_v be_v overthrow_v by_o many_o mean_n and_o that_o we_o see_v no_o issue_n let_v we_o then_o know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v victorious_a in_o the_o end_n and_o whatsoever_o weakness_n be_v find_v in_o we_o nevertheless_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o proceed_v and_o although_o there_o be_v resistance_n and_o contradiction_n here_o beneath_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o will_v overcome_v all_o and_o bring_v it_o well_o about_o but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o be_v here_o admonish_v by_o the_o example_n of_o isaac_n to_o hold_v ourselves_o under_o the_o bridle_n for_o if_o this_o happen_v unto_o such_o a_o man_n as_o isaac_n be_v so_o excellent_a and_o of_o a_o angelical_a holiness_n that_o he_o resist_v god_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o in_o comparison_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v every_o day_n be_v overtake_v a_o hundred_o time_n with_o some_o vain_a fantasy_n that_o we_o shall_v rush_v against_o god_n although_o we_o have_v no_o such_o purpose_n we_o have_v great_a need_n therefore_o to_o distrust_v our_o own_o judgement_n and_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o will_v govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n otherwise_o as_o i_o have_v say_v we_o be_v as_o wretched_a stray_n and_o we_o shall_v go_v hither_o and_o thither_o at_o all_o adventure_n and_o when_o we_o ween_v to_o be_v very_o wise_a there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o folly_n in_o we_o yea_o rebellion_n although_o it_o be_v not_o with_o our_o will_n and_o knowledge_n mark_v this_o then_o for_o one_o lesson_n but_o we_o must_v mark_v here_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v here_o note_v by_o moses_n when_o he_o say_v that_o isaac_n love_v esau_n and_o wherefore_o do_v he_o love_v he_o because_o that_o venison_n be_v his_o meat_n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o our_o carnal_a and_o earthly_a appetite_n if_o we_o will_v keep_v our_o array_n towards_o god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_n be_v not_o condemn_v for_o god_n have_v place_v we_o in_o this_o world_n under_o that_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v his_o creature_n and_o see_v he_o have_v ordain_v we_o to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o offend_v he_o not_o when_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v for_o our_o necessity_n &_o search_v out_o also_o the_o use_n of_o those_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v without_o cause_n that_o we_o must_v do_v all_o thing_n in_o his_o name_n yea_o both_o in_o eat_v &_o drink_v but_o in_o that_o we_o be_v corrupt_v it_o can_v be_v but_o there_o will_v be_v always_o excess_n in_o our_o appetite_n &_o this_o excess_n make_v we_o to_o forget_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n so_o as_o we_o be_v be_v altogether_o draw_v away_o on_o every_o side_n &_o when_o we_o think_v to_o do_v our_o duty_n we_o be_v far_o therefrom_o but_o isaac_n ought_v always_o to_o have_v have_v this_o before_o his_o eye_n yea_o &_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v it_o engrave_v in_o his_o heart_n this_o voice_n shall_v have_v sound_v in_o his_o ear_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o great_a shall_v serve_v the_o less_o he_o ought_v without_o end_n and_o without_o cease_v thus_o to_o have_v think_v well_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n will_v have_v his_o election_n to_o remain_v in_o jacob_n it_o behove_v that_o i_o agree_v unto_o it_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n his_o meat_n turn_v he_o &_o draw_v he_o quit_v contrary_a let_v we_o therefore_o be_v well_o advise_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v on_o our_o part_n to_o repress_v our_o desire_n yea_o though_o they_o be_v natural_a &_o of_o themselves_o not_o unlawful_a but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o there_o be_v no_o excess_n nor_o intemperance_n let_v we_o be_v advise_v i_o say_v to_o check_v and_o to_o tame_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o never_o turn_v we_o away_o or_o hinder_v we_o from_o order_v ourselves_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n mark_v therefore_o brief_o what_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v here_o but_o here_o also_o we_o see_v that_o rebecca_n have_v a_o affection_n better_o guide_v then_o her_o husband_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o always_o man_n shall_v see_v or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o if_o the_o father_n love_v one_o of_o his_o child_n the_o mother_n will_v set_v her_o love_n quite_o contrary_a a_o man_n may_v see_v these_o contention_n in_o most_o house_n also_o it_o may_v be_v that_o rebecca_n have_v conceive_v some_o kind_n of_o jealousy_n forasmuch_o as_o she_o see_v esau_n prefer_v &_o therefore_o she_o love_v jacob_n the_o better_a forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v not_o so_o acceptable_a to_o his_o father_n nor_o have_v no_o such_o favour_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o that_o

to_o age_n very_o well_o you_o shall_v find_v how_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o jacob_n and_o esau_n who_o child_n be_v he_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v not_o he_o descend_v from_o abraham_n and_o isaac_n

shall_v put_v any_o difference_n between_o one_o and_o a_o other_o &_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v acceptance_n of_o person_n in_o he_o behold_v then_o the_o dog_n that_o bark_n and_o whet_v their_o

the_o truth_n of_o god_n but_o they_o wallow_v there_o and_o remain_v in_o their_o sin_n as_o brute_n beast_n but_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o for_o

to_o estrange_v they_o somuch_o the_o more_o from_o god_n and_o to_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n yea_o sometime_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o truth_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o

the_o corinthian_n who_o be_v whore_n master_n &_o give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o villainy_n as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v and_o asmuch_o be_n say_v of_o the_o roman_n you_o be_v say_v he_o in_o time_n

after_o he_o say_v to_o the_o ephesian_n you_o be_v in_o time_n pass_v without_o god_n without_o any_o hope_n of_o life_n you_o be_v altogether_o darkness_n you_o be_v in_o everlasting_a death_n now_o when_o our_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n to_o humble_v we_o shall_v suffer_v we_o for_o a_o time_n to_o be_v so_o scatter_v and_o then_o shall_v sudden_o call_v we_o to_o himself_o let_v we_o

have_v allege_v you_o be_v sometime_o darkness_n but_o now_o you_o be_v light_a in_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o and_o therefore_o walk_v as_o child_n of_o light_n and_o let_v we_o often_o remember_v

of_o salvation_n he_o call_v they_o sheep_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o for_o they_o be_v savage_a beast_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n election_n although_o they_o be_v a_o scatter_a
