egypt_n yet_o still_o they_o be_v my_o son_n now_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v that_o if_o god_n bring_v we_o into_o sore_a affliction_n than_o we_o be_v no_o more_o son_n no_o thou_o may_v be_v deliver_v up_o to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o yet_o a_o son_n of_o god_n still_o and_o no_o slave_n for_o all_o that_o and_o no_o enemy_n there_o be_v a_o notable_a scripture_n in_o

down_o in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o yet_o remain_v as_o the_o apple_n of_o god_n eye_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a sight_n indeed_o to_o see_v a_o child_n of_o god_n a_o heir_n of_o heaven_n a_o co_n heir_n with_o jesus_n christ_n one_o dear_a unto_o god_n than_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o be_v under_o the_o power_n the_o humour_n the_o lust_n of_o wicked_a man_n of_o base_a ungodly_a man_n one_o yet_o it_o be_v so_o yea_o for_o a_o time_n they_o may_v be_v slave_n to_o satan_n i_o say_v those_o that_o god_n have_v a_o eternal_a love_n to_o even_o be_v for_o a_o season_n oft_o time_n slave_n

the_o humour_n of_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n there_o be_v not_o a_o strange_a sight_n in_o the_o world_n i_o angel_n believe_v the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n do_v not_o see_v a_o strange_a sight_n that_o they_o more_o admire_v at_o when_o they_o see_v a_o godly_a man_n to_o be_v under_o the_o lust_n of_o wicked_a man_n but_o this_o be_v god_n work_n for_o the_o present_a god_n intend_v to_o

egypt_n to_o be_v call_v from_o antichristian_a egypt_n be_v a_o great_a fruit_n of_o love_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o love_n so_o it_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o sin_n for_o so_o it_o be_v bring_v i_o call_v my_o son_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o yet_o they_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o if_o god_n remember_v this_o mercy_n of_o call_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n so_o many_o year_n before_o as_o a_o aggravation_n of_o their_o sin_n how_o much_o more_o may_v the_o lord_n make_v that_o a_o aggravation_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o call_v we_o of_o late_a out_o of_o that_o egypt_n that_o we_o england_n be_v in_o many_o way_n i_o may_v show_v you_o that_o we_o be_v under_o a_o great_a if_o not_o a_o great_a bondage_n than_o the_o israelite_n be_v under_o in_o egypt_n and_o there_o have_v be_v as_o out_o stretch_v a_o arm_n though_o not_o so_o obvious_a to_o sense_n in_o call_v of_o we_o out_o as_o in_o call_v of_o they_o out_o of_o egypt_n now_o let_v not_o this_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o sound_n of_o our_o cry_n under_o the_o yoke_n of_o our_o bondage_n be_v not_o yet_o out_o of_o our_o ear_n and_o the_o very_a sore_n of_o our_o shoulder_n through_o their_o yoke_n be_v not_o yet_o thorough_o heal_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o now_o before_o the_o sound_n be_v out_o of_o our_o ear_n and_o our_o sore_n be_v heal_v yet_o grow_v to_o be_v wanton_a foolish_a vain_a proud_a cruel_a oppress_v one_o another_o and_o abuse_v of_o our_o liberty_n oh_o our_o sin_n must_v needs_o be_v account_v exceed_v great_a before_o god_n well_o but_o yet_o we_o see_v not_o all_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o this_o expression_n expound_v nor_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o his_o mind_n for_o we_o find_v in_o in_o matth._n 2._o 15._o that_o there_o the_o holy_a ghost_n cite_v this_o scripture_n that_o now_o i_o be_o open_v to_o you_o and_o interpret_v it_o of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v fain_o to_o fly_v into_o egypt_n to_o save_v his_o life_n the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v that_o it_o be_v to_o fulfil_v that_o scripture_n i_o call_v my_o son_n out_o of_o egypt_n it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a interpretation_n as_o we_o have_v divers_a other_o such_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o hierom_n upon_o the_o place_n say_v that_o julian_n take_v advantage_n upon_o this_o and_o some_o some_o of_o the_o jew_n with_o other_o that_o hate_v christian_a religion_n do_v take_v much_o advantage_n upon_o this_o quotation_n of_o matthew_n against_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o say_v sure_o it_o argue_v matthew_n very_o unskilful_a in_o scripture_n that_o he_o shall_v make_v such_o a_o quotation_n as_o this_o when_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o call_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o true_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v think_v that_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o meaning_n in_o this_o place_n of_o hosea_n have_v we_o not_o find_v it_o so_o interpret_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o by_o the_o way_n before_o we_o come_v to_o open_v that_o and_o show_v how_o that_o be_v a_o right_a quotation_n of_o this_o scripture_n i_o will_v but_o observe_v this_o one_o note_n from_o it_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o by_o the_o interpretation_n both_o of_o matthew_n and_o divers_a other_o place_n we_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o there_o be_v much_o more_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n than_o be_v ordinary_o know_v to_o they_o that_o live_v in_o those_o time_n which_o of_o the_o jew_n can_v have_v make_v such_o a_o interpretation_n i_o have_v call_v my_o son_n out_o of_o egypt_n that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n after_o he_o be_v bear_v he_o shall_v be_v persecute_v and_o force_v to_o fly_v for_o his_o life_n and_o that_o into_o egypt_n and_o he_o shall_v come_v again_o out_o of_o egypt_n who_o can_v have_v think_v the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v have_v intend_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o be_v thing_n be_v not_o understand_v till_o they_o come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o then_o they_o be_v understand_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o in_o the_o new_a

neither_o of_o they_o speak_v against_o their_o conscience_n this_o possible_o i_o say_v may_v even_o be_v among_o good_a man_n and_o then_o sometime_o the_o reason_n of_o contradiction_n it_o be_v 2_o because_o man_n do_v not_o speak_v from_o their_o own_o knowledge_n but_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o speak_v from_o other_o and_o be_v so_o confident_a in_o other_o whosoever_o man_n love_v when_o they_o see_v man_n to_o be_v of_o their_o side_n and_o way_n they_o be_v very_o confident_a in_o their_o rport_n and_o so_o speak_v it_o not_o from_o be_v eye-witness_n themselves_o and_o so_o they_o may_v come_v to_o contradict_v one_o another_o and_o not_o go_v against_o their_o own_o conscience_n report_n be_v cross_v one_o to_o another_o and_o this_o be_v the_o evil_a indeed_o of_o give_v credit_n to_o report_n and_o of_o run_v away_o too_o sudden_o with_o they_o but_o though_o it_o be_v a_o evil_n in_o man_n yet_o it_o come_v not_o from_o this_o of_o speak_v against_o their_o conscience_n and_o then_o a_o three_o cause_n it_o may_v come_v from_o this_o that_o when_o man_n report_v they_o do_v not_o report_v all_o report_n be_v 3_o cross_v one_o to_o another_o
yea_o but_o do_v you_o hear_v all_o or_o do_v you_o report_v all_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n when_o a_o man_n will_v take_v one_o piece_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o make_v a_o report_n of_o it_o and_o not_o all_o another_o man_n may_v come_v and_o report_v the_o quite_o contrary_a whereas_o if_o all_o be_v bring_v together_o there_o may_v appear_v some_o agreement_n and_o perhaps_o they_o will_v be_v both_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n if_o the_o whole_a series_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v lay_v before_o they_o bring_v thing_n to_o the_o original_a and_o then_o you_o see_v how_o they_o agree_v as_o now_o sometime_o in_o scripture_n there_o be_v divers_a reading_n yea_o but_o now_o by_o the_o bring_v divers_a scripture_n translation_n to_o the_o original_a we_o come_v to_o see_v what_o a_o agreement_n there_o be_v and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o report_n bring_v they_o to_o the_o original_a and_o so_o you_o may_v come_v to_o help_v yourselves_o and_o see_v what_o agreement_n may_v be_v make_v and_o then_o further_o report_v may_v be_v be_v cross_a but_o the_o 4._o crossness_n of_o thing_n may_v be_v in_o man_n memory_n rather_o than_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o i_o

of_o all_o their_o straits_n and_o affliction_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o god_n very_o seldom_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o almighty_a power_n speak_v of_o his_o willingness_n to_o do_v

be_v this_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n be_v 2._o the_o inheritor_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n for_o so_o he_o tell_v he_o the_o land_n wherein_o thou_o lie_v i_o will_v give_v to_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n now_o this_o concern_v we_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n shall_v inherit_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n that_o be_v typify_v by_o it_o there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v a_o thought_n that_o yet_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o inheritance_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n by_o the_o faithful_a seed_n of_o jacob_n but_o however_o this_o certain_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o that_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n be_v the_o inheritor_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n one_o way_n or_o other_o take_v it_o in_o the_o litteral_n or_o in_o the_o typical_a sense_n the_o three_o thing_n be_v god_n will_v have_v faith_n raise_v to_o believe_v 3._o in_o mercy_n promise_v even_o when_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o unlikelihood_n of_o the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o that_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n he_o he_o speak_v of_o to_o we_o there_o he_o tell_v jacob_n there_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o be_v a_o poor_a lone_a man_n with_o his_o staff_n and_o no_o provision_n but_o a_o stone_n for_o his_o pillow_n than_o he_o tell_v he_o of_o make_v good_a his_o promise_n it_o be_v as_o unlikely_a a_o time_n as_o can_v be_v a_o poor_a lone_a man_n that_o jacob_n be_v go_v over_o with_o his_o staff_n at_o that_o time_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o promise_v fulfil_v and_o his_o seed_n to_o be_v so_o great_a and_o to_o inherit_v the_o hand_n of_o canaan_n how_o unlikely_a be_v this_o but_o god_n will_v have_v he_o to_o exercise_v his_o faith_n upon_o the_o promise_n at_o this_o time_n when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o great_a unlikelihood_n of_o it_o the_o four_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o 4._o church_n be_v a_o great_a blessing_n for_o say_v he_o thy_o seed_n shall_v be_v thus_o and_o thus_o as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n shore_n i_o will_v increase_v my_o church_n abundant_o from_o thy_o loin_n five_o promise_v defer_v though_o they_o be_v to_o be_v look_v 5._o upon_o as_o certain_a as_o ever_o they_o be_v yet_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v need_n of_o renew_v of_o promise_n even_o those_o that_o have_v most_o faith_n god_n renew_v the_o same_o promise_n to_o he_o that_o be_v make_v before_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o abraham_n to_o make_v his_o seed_n great_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o the_o promise_n though_o it_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o before_o yet_o it_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n and_o there_o be_v little_o come_v of_o it_o and_o then_o the_o six_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o the_o blessing_n 6._o which_o come_v to_o the_o world_n it_o be_v by_o the_o promise_a seed_n he_o tell_v he_o that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v the_o great_a blessing_n of_o the_o world_n be_v by_o the_o promise_a seed_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o the_o seven_o thing_n be_v that_o we_o gentile_n be_v 7._o in_o god_n heart_n to_o do_v good_a unto_o we_o for_o thousand_o of_o year_n since_o though_o at_o that_o time_n we_o be_v as_o dog_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o god_n heart_n to_o bless_v we_o oh_o this_o be_v a_o comfortable_a speech_n to_o we_o it_o concern_v we_o gentile_n in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n than_o it_o do_v they_o that_o hosea_n do_v prophesy_v to_o at_o this_o time_n and_o then_o the_o flighth_n thing_n be_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o his_o protection_n be_v the_o only_a encouragement_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o their_o way_n for_o in_o verse_n 15._o say_v god_n behold_v i_o be_o with_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v keep_v thou_o in_o all_o place_n whither_o thou_o go_v this_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o this_o the_o saint_n shall_v make_v high_a account_n of_o and_o then_o the_o nine_o thing_n be_v that_o though_o promise_v be_v not_o yet_o fulfil_v yet_o god_n be_v still_o work_v towards_o their_o fulfil_n 9_o for_o so_o he_o tell_v he_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o until_o i_o have_v do_v all_o that_o i_o have_v promise_v to_o thou_o though_o you_o can_v see_v how_o my_o administration_n towards_o you_o do_v any_o way_n work_n for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o my_o promise_n yet_o know_v i_o will_v not_o leave_v you_o until_o i_o have_v fulfil_v my_o promise_n and_o then_o the_o last_o thing_n be_v this_o which_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o there_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o constancy_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o faithfulness_n 10._o that_o however_o thing_n may_v go_v with_o we_o here_o for_o a_o while_n yet_o the_o merry_a of_o god_n continue_v the_o line_n of_o god_n mercy_n be_v not_o cut_v asunder_o but_o his_o faithfulness_n be_v carry_v along_o till_o all_o the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v promise_v or_o that_o faith_n can_v believe_v shall_v be_v grant_v to_o we_o for_o so_o he_o tell_v jacob_n there_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o till_o i_o have_v do_v that_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o thou_o of_o all_o this_o he_o speak_v with_o we_o that_o be_v the_o first_o time_n of_o god_n meeting_n with_o jacob_n in_o bethel_n now_o the_o second_o time_n that_o he_o meet_v with_o jacob_n in_o bethel_n it_o be_v in_o gen._n 35._o 10._o and_o there_o see_v what_o god_n speak_v with_o text._n we_o there_o god_n change_v his_o name_n to_o israel_n there_o god_n confirm_v his_o promise_n and_o covenant_n to_o he_o again_o as_o before_o god_n there_o remember_v his_o prevail_a with_o he_o and_o his_o wrestle_v with_o he_o and_o in_o that_o god_n tell_v we_o he_o remember_v our_o servant_n prayer_n after_o they_o be_v go_v yet_o his_o heart_n be_v upon_o they_o there_o he_o confirm_v his_o name_n israel_n and_o confirm_v his_o promise_n that_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v with_o we_o there_o too_o that_o the_o saint_n have_v need_n of_o the_o confirmation_n of_o mercy_n especial_o 1._o the_o covenant_n but_o then_o further_o god_n presenteng_v himself_o to_o the_o soul_n as_o 2._o god_n almighty_a that_o be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o faith_n i_o be_o god_n almighty_a say_v he_o there_o thou_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o my_o almighty_a power_n in_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o thy_o brother_n and_o now_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o great_a danger_n because_o thou_o be_v few_o in_o number_n thou_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n but_o i_o be_o god_n almighty_a there_o be_v little_a power_n in_o thou_o but_o there_o be_v great_a power_n in_o me._n the_o consideration_n of_o god_n almighty_a power_n be_v that_o that_o shall_v help_v the_o saint_n in_o the_o midst_n
