in_o the_o 12._o of_o genesis_n but_o that_o can_v be_v he_o be_v not_o then_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a he_o consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n now_o dead_a when_o he_o be_v about_o a_o hundred_o

they_o answer_v it_o thus_o that_o abraham_n hideed_o at_o the_o first_o do_v consider_v his_o own_o body_n and_o do_v doubt_n through_o unbelief_n but_o afterward_o abraham_n recollect_v himself_o and_o get_v over_o that_o unbelief_n but_o the_o apostle_n he_o speak_v the_o contrary_a in_o the_o 20._o verse_n he_o stagger_v not_o at_o the_o promise_n through_o unbelief_n other_o they_o answer_v it_o by_o labour_v to_o sin_v out_o some_o mystical_a interpretation_n of_o those_o word_n shall_v a_o child_n be_v brone_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a and_o shall_v sarah_n that_o be_v ninety_o year_n old_a bear_n as_o if_o abraham_n say_v they_o have_v say_v thus_o lord_n thou_o have_v some_o secret_a meaning_n in_o these_o word_n i_o pray_v thou_o speak_v it_o out_o unto_o i_o and_o tell_v i_o plain_o thy_o meaning_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o god_n answer_v to_o that_o purpose_n in_o the_o 19_o verse_n and_o god_n say_v sarah_n thy_o wife_n shall_v bear_v thou_o a_o son_n indeed_o i_o mean_v according_a to_o my_o word_n sarah_n shall_v bear_v thou_o a_o son_n indeed_o but_o we_o need_v not_o strain_v for_o any_o mystical_a interpretation_n or_o

dead_a after_o god_n give_v out_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o great_a seed_n of_o he_o second_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o yet_o abraham_n believe_v &_o be_v commend_v for_o it_o he_o being_z not_o weak_a in_o the_o faith_n consider_v not_o his_o own_o body_n be_v now_o dead_a and_o three_o that_o in_o all_o this_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o afterward_o according_o i_o will_v take_v up_o three_o observation_n thus_o first_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n by_o give_v any_o special_a blessing_n to_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n he_o do_v first_o of_o all_o put_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o blessing_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o second_o that_o then_o and_o then_o especial_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o three_o that_o no_o difficulty_n can_v stand_v before_o faith_n true_a save_v justify_v faith_n carry_v the_o soul_n through_o all_o difficulty_n discouragement_n and_o natural_a impossibility_n to_o jesus_n christ_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o at_o this_o time_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n by_o give_v any_o special_a blessing_n to_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n doct._n to_o believer_n he_o do_v first_o put_v the_o sentence_n of_o deathupon_o it_o and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o great_a seed_n like_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o sand_n upon_o the_o seashore_n be_v give_v to_o abraham_n but_o before_o it_o be_v fulfil_v abraham_n body_n be_v dead_a and_o sarahs_n womb_n dead_a the_o sentence_n of_o death_n put_v upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o and_o herein_o abraham_n be_v hold_v forth_o for_o our_o example_n it_o be_v write_v not_o for_o his_o sake_n alone_o at_o the_o 23._o verse_n but_o for_o we_o also_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v at_o the_o 24._o verse_n and_o as_o thus_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o abraham_n so_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o all_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n with_o all_o believer_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o give_v any_o special_a or_o great_a mercy_n by_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n he_o do_v first_o of_o all_o write_v down_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o upon_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v tend_v unto_o it_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n 12._o lsa_fw-la 62_o 12._o they_o be_v call_v the_o redeem_a of_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o because_o they_o be_v redeem_v from_o hell_n

of_o the_o patriarch_n all_o of_o they_o joseph_n you_o know_v have_v a_o promise_n by_o way_n of_o vision_n 37._o gen._n 37._o that_o his_o sheaf_n shall_v be_v high_o than_o all_o the_o sheaf_n

upon_o it_o answ_n 1_o by_o the_o frequent_a visit_n of_o the_o promise_n mark_v when_o god_n intend_v any_o special_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n he_o give_v out_o a_o promise_n then_o come_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n but_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o fulfil_v the_o promise_n he_o do_v cause_n the_o promise_n frequent_o to_o visit_v the_o soul_n even_o when_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v upon_o the_o business_n often_o to_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o soul_n when_o there_o be_v goodwill_n between_o two_o young_a people_n keep_v from_o marry_v by_o their_o parent_n and_o the_o

14.9_o job_n 14.9_o though_o the_o tree_n be_v cut_v down_o yet_o through_o the_o send_v of_o those_o water_n it_o shall_v rise_v again_o but_o especial_o in_o the_o second_o place_n a_o christian_a

in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o special_a mercy_n but_o first_o of_o all_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n come_v upon_o the_o business_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o when_o

first_o a_o sentence_n of_o death_n past_a when_o ever_o be_v a_o poor_a soul_n make_v fruitful_a but_o first_o a_o sentence_n of_o death_n past_a oh_o never_o any_o more_o barren_a than_o i_o never_o

that_o this_o be_v true_a concern_v every_o common_a and_o ordinary_a blessing_n that_o a_o believer_n have_v that_o he_o have_v no_o blessing_n no_o mercy_n but_o first_o of_o all_o a_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v put_v upon_o it_o and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o but_o i_o say_v its_o true_a concern_v the_o great_a and_o the_o special_a blessing_n and_o mercy_n we_o read_v of_o abraham_n that_o he_o have_v other_o child_n it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o they_o but_o isaac_n be_v the_o great_a blessing_n it_o be_v so_o in_o regard_n of_o isaac_n the_o

heaven_n and_o they_o have_v water_n out_o of_o the_o rock_n they_o have_v special_a water_n special_a bread_n so_o in_o regard_n of_o these_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o look_v into_o exod._n 15._o you_o shall_v find_v there_o at_o the_o last_o verse_n they_o come_v to_o elim_n where_o be_v twelve_o well_n of_o water_n according_a to_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n every_o tribe_n have_v twelve_o and_o

at_o the_o 22._o verse_n that_o they_o go_v three_o day_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o find_v no_o water_n at_o the_o 25._o verse_n you_o read_v of_o water_n they_o have_v that_o be_v very_o sweet_a but_o before_o that_o the_o water_n be_v bitter_a it_o be_v call_v marah_n and_o when_o they_o come_v
to_o marah_n they_o can_v not_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o marah_n for_o they_o be_v bitter_a therefore_o the_o name_n of_o it_o be_v call_v marah_n and_o the_o people_n murmur_v against_o

make_v sweet_a the_o special_a water_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n people_n come_v to_o they_o thus_o again_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n may_v be_v put_v upon_o your_o mercy_n in_o another_o man_n hand_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n even_o to_o isaac_n that_o by_o he_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v blessed_v but_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v put_v upon_o this_o

a_o believer_n come_v to_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v much_o according_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o mercy_n that_o be_v afterward_o if_o the_o life_n be_v great_a the_o death_n be_v great_a if_o the_o

tongue_n be_v from_o the_o lord_n sure_o therefore_o all_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n and_o all_o be_v not_o of_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o answer_n answ_n 1_o i_o shall_v say_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o place_n can_v be_v according_a to_o this_o objection_n for_o then_o as_o bradwardine_n do_v well_o observe_v the_o great_a shall_v be_v give_v to_o man_n and_o the_o lesser_a shall_v be_v give_v to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o prepare_v his_o heart_n then_o for_o he_o to_o speak_v word_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v prepare_v and_o then_o again_o as_o austin_n observe_v this_o will_v be_v contrary_a to_o other_o scripture_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n 15.5_o joh._n 15.5_o he_o say_v without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o yes_o may_v a_o man_n say_v according_a to_o solomon_n doctrine_n i_o can_v prepare_v my_o own_o heart_n and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a duty_n and_o so_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o be_v not_o able_a for_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n 3.5_o 2_o cor._n 3.5_o a_o man_n may_v say_v yes_o but_o according_a to_o solomon_n doctrine_n i_o be_o able_a to_o prepare_v my_o own-heart_n the_o meaning_n therefore_o of_o this_o place_n can_v be_v according_a to_o this_o objection_n the_o scope_n therefore_o second_o of_o this_o place_n be_v this_o to_o show_v the_o vanity_n and_o the_o bootlesness_a of_o all_o our_o thought_n without_o god_n let_v a_o man_n think_v and_o think_v and_o spend_v his_o heart_n in_o thought-fulness_n all_o be_v in_o vain_a unless_o god_n go_v along_o with_o he_o for_o god_n can_v come_v between_o his_o heart_n and_o his_o lip_n so_o it_o be_v with_o balaam_n he_o prepare_v his_o heart_n for_o to_o curse_v the_o people_n but_o god_n come_v between_o his_o heart_n and_o the_o preparation_n and_o he_o give_v a_o answer_n of_o blessing_n contrary_a to_o the_o preparation_n of_o his_o heart_n that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n to_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o preparation_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o any_o busyness_n unless_o we_o take_v god_n along_o with_o we_o three_o this_o place_n be_v so_o far_o from_o speak_v against_o the_o doctrine_n in_o hand_n that_o it_o seem_v to_o speak_v for_o it_o for_o according_a to_o the_o hebrew_n the_o word_n may_v be_v read_v thus_o the_o heart_n preparation_n of_o man_n and_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o tongue_n from_o the_o lord_n give_v both_o heart_n and_o tongue_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o after_o a_o man_n have_v prepare_v his_o heart_n unto_o any_o work_n god_n be_v able_a to_o come_v between_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o lip_n and_o to_o give_v in_o another_o answer_n into_o the_o mouth_n then_o what_o be_v intend_v in_o the_o heart_n this_o show_n that_o all_o be_v of_o god_n that_o all_o be_v of_o grace_n and_o so_o this_o place_n do_v rather_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n that_o i_o be_o now_o upon_o i_o but_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v say_v then_o grant_v it_o object_n that_o all_o grace_n be_v from_o christ_n that_o whatsoever_o grace_n a_o man_n have_v he_o have_v it_o from_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o so_o as_o that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v convert_v and_o draw_v to_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o principle_n or_o a_o habit_n of_o grace_n infuse_v into_o the_o soul_n whereby_o through_o ordinary_a concurrence_n and_o assistance_n from_o god_n a_o man_n be_v able_a for_o to_o walk_v gracious_o without_o fresh_a assistance_n for_o example_n when_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o world_n in_o the_o beginning_n he_o give_v unto_o the_o creature_n a_o power_n to_o bring_v forth_o their_o like_a he_o give_v unto_o the_o beast_n a_o power_n to_o bring_v forth_o their_o like_a he_o give_v unto_o plant_n unto_o herb_n a_o power_n to_o bring_v forth_o their_o like_a he_o give_v unto_o man_n a_o power_n to_o bring_v forth_o his_o like_a and_o so_o grace_n be_v but_o a_o creature_n he_o give_v also_o unto_o grace_n a_o power_n to_o bring_v forth_o gracious_a action_n without_o fresh_a assistance_n only_o by_o ordinary_a concurrence_n yet_o because_o that_o this_o first_o habit_n be_v infuse_v and_o come_v from_o god_n this_o be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o christ_n and_o from_o grace_n so_o that_o though_o all_o be_v of_o grace_n and_o all_o be_v from_o christ_n yet_o all_o be_v not_o from_o christ_n in_o regard_n of_o fresh_a assistance_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o answer_v this_o yes_o ans_fw-fr all_o be_v from_o jesus_n christ_n all_o grace_n be_v from_o jesus_n christ_n in_o regard_n of_o fresh_a assistance_n too_o for_o although_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n make_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o man_n and_o then_o give_v that_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v a_o power_n to_o bring_v forth_o it_o be_v like_a yet_o now_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v we_o under_o a_o better_a covenant_n a_o better_a covenant_n than_o the_o former_a be_v in_o the_o first_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o we_o and_o with_o adam_n the_o lord_n give_v man_n a_o great_a stock_n of_o grace_n but_o give_v he_o no_o promise_n of_o perseverance_n but_o now_o he_o have_v in_o the_o first_o indeed_o god_n give_v man_n a_o great_a stock_n of_o grace_n but_o satan_n be_v a_o strong_a than_o man_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o beguile_v he_o of_o it_o
