can_v not_o shift_v themselves_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n in_o say_v that_o he_o do_v they_o wrong_n that_o he_o be_v over_o cruel_a towards_o they_o it_o behove_v that_o every_o mouth_n be_v stop_v in_o that_o behalf_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n can_v never_o satisfy_v and_o content_v the_o rebellion_n as_o we_o see_v there_o be_v many_o which_o advance_v themselves_o against_o god_n in_o this_o case_n with_o such_o boldness_n and_o presumption_n that_o good_a man_n which_o be_v sober_a and_o modest_a be_v ashamed_a to_o behold_v they_o but_o leave_v we_o these_o dog_n to_o bark_v their_o fill_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v we_o glorify_v our_o god_n in_o all_o humility_n know_v at_o least_o wise_a this_o one_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v this_o authority_n and_o might_n to_o show_v favour_n and_o mercy_n to_o who_o it_o please_v he_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o if_o god_n withdraw_v his_o spirit_n from_o the_o posterity_n of_o the_o wicked_a he_o may_v not_o be_v accuse_v of_o cruelty_n for_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o punishable_a when_o they_o be_v in_o this_o sort_n forsake_v of_o he_o and_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n let_v we_o then_o note_v well_o that_o this_o sentence_n have_v no_o contrariety_n to_o that_o of_o ezechiel_n now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o moses_n in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o by_o his_o manner_n of_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n he_o will_v imprint_v a_o great_a fear_n in_o we_o than_o if_o bare_o and_o simple_o he_o have_v say_v god_n will_v punish_v you_o when_o you_o shall_v have_v corrupt_v his_o service_n when_o you_o shall_v have_v change_v any_o thing_n in_o religion_n when_o you_o shall_v have_v devise_v and_o fashion_v any_o image_n or_o likeness_n of_o he_o think_v not_o that_o you_o shall_v escape_v his_o vengeance_n for_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v that_o his_o honour_n be_v deface_v and_o bring_v to_o nothing_o in_o such_o sort_n if_o moses_n have_v thus_o speak_v man_n as_o overhardy_v and_o flow_v of_o nature_n will_v not_o have_v be_v sufficient_o move_v with_o fear_n therefore_o he_o here_o pass_v further_a god_n say_v he_o will_v not_o only_o punish_v you_o in_o your_o own_o person_n but_o he_o will_v extend_v his_o vengeance_n upon_o your_o offspring_n and_o not_o only_o on_o your_o child_n but_o he_o will_v pursue_v it_o even_o to_o the_o further_a end_n of_o your_o lineage_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o you_o shall_v for_o ever_o feel_v his_o wrath_n as_o a_o kindle_a fire_n and_o after_o your_o death_n man_n shall_v behold_v the_o sign_n and_o mark_n of_o your_o iniquity_n god_o shall_v place_v you_o in_o such_o ignominy_n and_o reproach_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o spectacle_n to_o the_o world_n and_o although_o you_o be_v rot_v &_o putrify_v under_o the_o earth_n yet_o shall_v his_o vengeance_n pursue_v you_o so_o that_o your_o sin_n shall_v be_v grate_v on_o and_o call_v to_o remembrance_n from_o age_n to_o age_n and_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o you_o have_v rebel_v against_o he_o which_o show_v you_o so_o many_o of_o his_o benefit_n that_o at_o least_o you_o shall_v have_v be_v as_o the_o sheep_n of_o his_o flock_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o his_o word_n now_o then_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n we_o be_v not_o over_o sluggish_a and_o past_a sense_n when_o god_n in_o this_o manner_n stir_v up_o and_o awake_v we_o true_o if_o only_a in_o one_o word_n or_o by_o some_o exterior_a signification_n he_o shall_v signify_v his_o anger_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v touch_v with_o great_a fear_n but_o since_o we_o be_v dull_a upon_o the_o spur_n yet_o at_o least_o then_o when_o god_n declare_v that_o after_o he_o have_v punish_v we_o he_o will_v yet_o follow_v on_o his_o vengeance_n upon_o our_o posterity_n and_o that_o after_o our_o death_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o those_o which_o shall_v be_v beget_v of_o we_o be_v condemn_v when_o i_o say_v god_n speak_v in_o this_o wise_a let_v we_o then_o be_v more_o attentive_a to_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n and_o to_o turn_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o that_o we_o provoke_v he_o not_o to_o anger_v be_v as_o it_o be_v so_o fearful_a and_o terrible_a thus_o we_o see_v in_o what_o sort_n we_o be_v to_o make_v our_o profit_n by_o this_o text_n now_o he_o add_v further_a of_o they_o which_o hate_v he_o in_o which_o word_n he_o comprehend_v all_o the_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n if_o then_o one_o demand_n whether_o all_o those_o which_o turn_v themselves_o from_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n hate_v he_o therefore_o this_o place_n here_o answer_v yea_o not_o that_o it_o seem_v so_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o and_o we_o ought_v here_o not_o to_o rest_v upon_o our_o own_o judgement_n for_o god_n only_o be_v a_o competent_a judge_n to_o pronounce_v sentence_n herein_o and_o because_o that_o man_n when_o they_o geve_v themselves_o over_o to_o work_v wicked_o will_v not_o say_v neither_o think_v so_o in_o heart_n that_o they_o hate_v god_n it_o behove_v that_o this_o vice_n shall_v be_v discover_v it_o be_v true_a that_o hypocrite_n will_v make_v a_o fair_a show_n that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n cause_v they_o to_o show_v some_o good_a countenance_n and_o in_o deed_n it_o may_v have_v some_o small_a seed_n but_o it_o be_v a_o bastard_n &_o vicious_a seed_n so_o then_o this_o hatred_n be_v not_o apparent_a in_o hypocrite_n nether_a in_o many_o other_o which_o lead_v a_o disorder_a &_o dissolute_a life_n but_o yet_o be_v it_o in_o they_o though_o we_o know_v it_o not_o for_o as_o all_o male_a factor_n &_o licentious_a liver_n will_v there_o be_v neither_o judge_n nor_o order_n nor_o policy_n in_o the_o world_n so_o all_o they_o which_o willing_o &_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v themselves_o god_n subject_n they_o spite_n he_o &_o can_v be_v content_v he_o be_v pluck_v out_o of_o heaven_n this_o appear_v sufficent_o in_o they_o which_o be_v whole_o give_v over_o &_o pervert_v when_o man_n have_v loose_v the_o bridle_n to_o all_o iniquity_n they_o can_v not_o bear_v any_o correction_n &_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v tractable_a to_o be_v teach_v when_o they_o be_v threaten_v they_o grind_v the_o tooth_n they_o storm_v &_o rage_n they_o be_v furious_a &_o mad_a against_o god_n this_o hate_v then_o of_o god_n be_v manifest_a enough_o in_o they_o which_o have_v grant_v themselves_o a_o more_o outrageous_a liberty_n of_o do_v ill_a in_o they_o which_o be_v carry_v away_o as_o with_o a_o tempest_n in_o their_o wickedness_n &_o be_v full_o settle_v in_o their_o sin_n in_o other_o which_o have_v yet_o some_o fear_n &_o be_v in_o some_o sort_n move_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n &_o of_o his_o judgement_n this_o appear_v not_o &_o yet_o there_o be_v already_o in_o they_o a_o hatred_n of_o god_n true_o they_o think_v it_o not_o but_o god_n see_v much_o more_o clear_a than_o we_o and_o when_o thing_n be_v hide_v and_o unknown_a unto_o we_o he_o note_v they_o we_o must_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n how_o saint_n john_n say_v that_o god_n be_v much_o great_a than_o our_o conscience_n that_o be_v to_o say_v 20._o that_o if_o our_o conscience_n bear_v we_o witness_v of_o our_o fault_n god_n shall_v not_o sleep_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n and_o so_o let_v we_o brief_o remember_v that_o all_o they_o which_o conform_v not_o themselves_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n &_o which_o humble_v not_o themselves_o under_o his_o majesty_n to_o serve_v &_o honour_v he_o that_o all_o they_o hate_v he_o although_o by_o effect_n they_o show_v it_o not_o at_o first_o and_o that_o man_n can_v not_o judge_v so_o of_o they_o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n we_o see_v why_o in_o like_a manner_n when_o god_n speak_v of_o they_o which_o keep_v his_o commandment_n he_o begin_v with_o his_o love_n he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n on_o thousand_o generation_n to_o they_o which_o love_v he_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o desire_v to_o honour_n god_n &_o to_o be_v his_o subject_n if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o feel_n of_o this_o love_n whereof_o he_o here_o speak_v and_o this_o may_v serve_v we_o for_o a_o good_a lesson_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o that_o moses_n when_o he_o will_v geve_v a_o short_a abridgement_n of_o the_o law_n say_v what_o do_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n israel_n require_v of_o thou_o but_o that_o thou_o love_v he_o with_o thy_o whole_a heart_n 1●_o &_o that_o thou_o cleave_v to_o he_o we_o shall_v never_o i_o say_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o god_n law_n and_o to_o rule_v ourselves_o according_a

to_o it_o if_o we_o begin_v not_o at_o this_o love_n and_o why_o for_o god_n require_v a_o willing_a service_n he_o will_v not_o that_o we_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o servile_a fear_n but_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o we_o come_v unto_o his_o worship_n with_o a_o free_a &_o cheerful_a courage_n &_o take_v even_o a_o pleasure_n in_o obey_v &_o honour_v of_o he_o now_o this_o can_v not_o be_v except_o we_o love_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o that_o the_o beginning_n the_o fountain_n the_o foundation_n and_o root_n of_o obedience_n be_v this_o love_n of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o force_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o even_o take_v a_o singular_a delight_n &_o pleasure_n therein_o know_v that_o this_o be_v our_o true_a happiness_n that_o we_o desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o will_n and_o to_o be_v in_o all_o point_n conformable_a to_o the_o same_o and_o moreover_o let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o love_n can_v not_o be_v in_o we_o before_o we_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o conceive_v god_n our_o adversary_n and_o contrary_a party_n we_o can_v not_o but_o flee_v he_o will_v we_o then_o love_v he_o will_v we_o be_v reform_v to_o his_o obedience_n to_o take_v a_o pleasure_n in_o his_o service_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o show_v himself_o love_v &_o favourable_a towards_o we_o when_o we_o shall_v so_o have_v cast_a the_o great_a love_n he_o bear_v we_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o father_n and_o when_o this_o love_n shall_v be_v in_o we_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o we_o shall_v obey_v he_o &_o his_o law_n shall_v bear_v rule_n in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n and_o in_o all_o our_o member_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v so_o rebellious_a against_o god_n but_o that_o we_o hate_v he_o as_o we_o have_v before_o say_v again_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v lead_v we_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o &_o our_o do_n in_o order_n according_a to_o his_o justice_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v a_o certain_a conformity_n &_o melody_n between_o the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o all_o our_o desire_n &_o affection_n but_o yet_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v this_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v for_o he_o will_v not_o be_v know_v according_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v hear_v he_o speak_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o yield_v he_o this_o title_n of_o god_n but_o he_o will_v be_v know_v as_o he_o be_v namely_o just_a and_o good_a that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n &_o perfection_n of_o all_o wisdom_n of_o all_o power_n of_o all_o uprightness_n of_o all_o equity_n and_o justice_n now_o then_o let_v we_o conceive_v god_n as_o he_o be_v that_o be_v with_o his_o justice_n and_o uprightness_n &_o equity_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o desire_v but_o to_o frame_v and_o fashion_n ourselves_o unto_o he_o contrary_a wise_a when_o we_o shall_v love_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o shall_v be_v wrap_v in_o wickedness_n as_o in_o a_o garment_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o we_o must_v hate_v he_o and_o why_o because_o here_o be_v no_o question_n of_o some_o bare_a nature_n &_o be_v neither_o aught_o we_o to_o imagine_v god_n as_o a_o idol_n but_o we_o must_v comprehend_v he_o in_o his_o justice_n it_o than_o we_o shall_v hate_v this_o which_o be_v in_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o justice_n &_o uprightness_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o hate_v he_o also_o for_o he_o can_v not_o deny_v himself_o he_o can_v be_v disguise_v he_o can_v be_v transfigure_v after_o our_o fancy_n he_o always_o abide_v like_o himself_o so_o then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v all_o they_o which_o love_n god_n they_o fail_v not_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o his_o law_n they_o cease_v not_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o these_o thing_n be_v knit_v together_o and_o be_v inseparable_a and_o this_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o here_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o take_v a_o warning_n that_o we_o have_v in_o great_a horror_n than_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o have_v all_o rebellion_n all_o sin_n and_o offence_n for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a thing_n to_o be_v proclaim_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o to_o make_v open_a war_n with_o he_o now_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o can_v turn_v ourselves_o from_o he_o nor_o cast_v off_o his_o yoke_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v convict_v to_o have_v be_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o have_v wage_v open_a battle_n with_o he_o and_o lo_o be_v not_o this_o a_o execrable_a thing_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v to_o have_v our_o sin_n and_o offence_n in_o horror_n and_o detestation_n forasmuch_o as_o by_o they_o we_o be_v accuse_v to_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o also_o must_v show_v himself_o our_o adversary_n party_n withal_o we_o be_v also_o warn_v to_o come_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o pure_a and_o sincere_a affection_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o withhold_v our_o foot_n and_o our_o hand_n and_o our_o eye_n from_o evil_a do_v but_o it_o behove_v that_o our_o heart_n go_v before_o and_o that_o god_n be_v serve_v of_o we_o with_o a_o true_a meaning_n mind_n and_o upright_o affection_n and_o this_o affection_n must_v not_o be_v force_v and_o constrain_v but_o it_o ought_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o true_a love_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o will_v right_o observe_v his_o law_n we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o god_n be_v unto_o we_o a_o kind_a heart_a father_n gentle_a and_o favourable_a unto_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v to_o yield_v unto_o he_o like_o love_n and_o affection_n and_o withal_o let_v we_o not_o think_v to_o mock_v &_o deceive_v our_o self_n in_o protest_v that_o we_o love_v god_n if_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o this_o be_v not_o show_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n for_o when_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n moses_n add_v that_o they_o which_o love_v he_o do_v also_o keep_v his_o commandment_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o our_o life_n be_v answerable_a in_o this_o behalf_n and_o that_o it_o bear_v witness_v whether_o we_o love_v god_n or_o whether_o we_o hate_v he_o for_o the_o rest_n which_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n make_v comparison_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n with_o his_o favour_n and_o mercy_n say_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o that_o hate_v he_o to_o the_o third_o and_o four_o generation_n and_o that_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o they_o that_o love_v he_o in_o a_o thousand_o generation_n for_o by_o this_o he_o declare_v that_o which_o be_v better_o and_o more_o folly_n express_v in_o other_o sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_n great_o incline_v to_o compassion_n and_o pity_n 8._o that_o he_o be_v patient_a &_o of_o long_a suffering_n 5._o that_o his_o anger_n endure_v but_o a_o while_n that_o his_o mercy_n be_v to_o life_n &_o endure_v for_o ever_o you_o see_v then_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o he_o desire_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o draw_v man_n unto_o he_o by_o all_o lenity_n and_o gentleness_n and_o to_o use_v his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n towards_o they_o when_o he_o punish_v they_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v against_o his_o nature_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n aswell_o to_o punish_v as_o to_o show_v mercy_n but_o he_o will_v show_v we_o that_o his_o goodness_n be_v much_o more_o great_a and_o brief_o that_o he_o be_v not_o sharp_a and_o rigorous_a but_o desirous_a to_o lay_v open_a his_o heart_n towards_o we_o if_o we_o will_v suffer_v he_o for_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o will_v be_v know_v gracious_a and_o pitiful_a and_o this_o be_v that_o wherein_o his_o principal_a glory_n shine_v therefore_o let_v we_o note_v well_o that_o not_o for_o naught_o moses_n here_o assign_v a_o thousand_o generation_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o restrain_v his_o wrath_n &_o vengeance_n to_o a_o three_o or_o four_o generation_n as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o our_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v superstition_n unpunished_a when_o you_o shall_v have_v pervert_v his_o service_n and_o deface_v his_o honour_n busy_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o dream_n and_o dote_a fanste_n you_o shall_v sure_o feel_v the_o punishment_n and_o your_o
