pass_v that_o god_n give_v they_o over_o to_o strong_a delusion_n to_o believe_v lie_n it_o may_v be_v they_o come_v to_o some_o understanding_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o they_o have_v no_o love_n

will_v not_o send_v unto_o they_o only_o such_o error_n that_o do_v prevail_v but_o shall_v hold_v they_o and_o keep_v they_o and_o they_o think_v themselves_o in_o a_o very_a good_a case_n and_o in_o the_o right_a way_n when_o they_o be_v most_o perverse_a and_o so_o go_v on_o in_o a_o stubborn_a rebellion_n against_o the_o truth_n and_o their_o own_o salvation_n therefore_o let_v we_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o love_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o testify_v our_o love_n unto_o the_o truth_n by_o hate_v all_o contrary_a error_n not_o only_o think_v indifferent_o of_o they_o and_o judge_v well_o of_o they_o but_o hate_v of_o they_o thus_o do_v david_n psal_n 119.104_o hate_v all_o way_n of_o falsehood_n and_o thus_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v with_o we_o not_o only_o to_o receive_v the_o truth_n after_o a_o slubber_v manner_n but_o to_o hate_v all_o error_n and_o assure_o it_o be_v a_o worthy_a speech_n of_o one_o to_o this_o purpose_n unless_o we_o hate_v atheism_n and_o irreligion_n we_o do_v not_o love_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o his_o holy_a religion_n nor_o god_n himself_o so_o unless_o we_o hate_v papism_n anabaptism_n and_o familisme_n and_o brownism_n and_o other_o separation_n we_o do_v not_o love_v the_o truth_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o see_v the_o papist_n can_v well_o endure_v the_o familist_n and_o the_o familist_n well_o endure_v the_o papist_n they_o can_v live_v together_o quiet_o oh_o say_v the_o familist_n what_o need_v you_o make_v such_o ado_n against_o the_o papist_n we_o can_v live_v among_o they_o and_o not_o be_v taint_v i_o believe_v they_o for_o they_o both_o hate_v the_o truth_n but_o let_v we_o testify_v our_o love_n unto_o the_o gospel_n while_o it_o be_v among_o we_o and_o be_v well_o affect_v with_o every_o

we_o be_v too_o hot_a against_o the_o separation_n no_o if_o we_o love_v the_o truth_n we_o hate_v all_o error_n and_o separation_n neither_o only_a this_o but_o when_o rebekah_n also_o have_v conceive_v by_o one_o even_o by_o our_o father_n isaac_n in_o that_o the_o apostle_n here_o bring_v a_o example_n and_o instance_n of_o jacob_n and_o of_o esau_n be_v a_o instance_n and_o a_o

against_o it_o touch_v their_o objection_n that_o all_o that_o come_v of_o abraham_n by_o natural_a generation_n be_v heir_n of_o salvation_n hence_o we_o may_v note_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o

all_o difficulty_n and_o question_n and_o case_n of_o conscience_n and_o for_o the_o convince_a of_o all_o manner_n of_o error_n it_o be_v sufficient_a in_o itself_o to_o answer_v all_o false_a

that_o be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a to_o our_o comfort_n here_o and_o salvation_n hereafter_o what_o can_v we_o have_v more_o use_v therefore_o wicked_o and_o most_o injurious_o deal_v the_o papist_n in_o this_o point_n in_o that_o they_o charge_v upon_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n imperfection_n and_o insufficiency_n and_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n and_o

they_o join_v unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o equal_a and_o match_v with_o it_o the_o book_n apocryphal_a and_o their_o tradition_n unwritten_a even_o the_o pope_n decretal_n and_o the_o constitution_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n they_o tender_v to_o the_o people_n to_o be_v receive_v with_o the_o same_o reverence_n and_o the_o same_o affection_n as_o the_o true_a and_o perfect_a write_v word_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v so_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v thus_o blasphemous_o decree_v and_o set_v it_o down_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n as_o well_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n with_o like_a love_n affection_n and_o reverence_n as_o they_o do_v the_o write_v and_o perfect_a word_n of_o god_n thus_o blasphemous_o they_o deal_v but_o further_o come_v we_o now_o to_o consider_v the_o example_n of_o jacob_n and_o esau_n particular_o as_o it_o be_v here_o lay_v before_o we_o and_o first_o of_o all_o the_o apostle_n make_v know_v unto_o we_o in_o this_o ten_o verse_n they_o be_v understand_v as_o before_o that_o jacob_n and_o esau_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o same_o parent_n they_o be_v beget_v of_o the_o same_o father_n and_o bear_v of_o the_o same_o mother_n and_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n they_o be_v twin_n yet_o the_o holy_a word_n of_o god_n do_v further_a make_v know_v unto_o we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o large_a and_o a_o wide_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o brethren_n jacob_n and_o esau_n he_o make_v know_v they_o be_v of_o different_a disposition_n and_o quality_n and_o of_o a_o different_a life_n and_o conversation_n in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n as_o that_o jacob_n be_v a_o plain_a man_n gen._n 25.27_o a_o simple_a innocent_a a_o harmless_a a_o downright_a honest_a man_n a_o good_a man_n a_o holy_a man_n a_o man_n fear_v god_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v of_o esau_n and_o set_v this_o black_a mark_n upon_o he_o to_o be_v a_o profane_a person_n a_o vile_a man_n one_o that_o sell_v his_o birthright_n for_o a_o portion_n of_o meat_n heb._n 12.16_o yea_o the_o context_n say_v 25.34_o gen._n 25.34_o that_o esau_n contemn_v his_o birthright_n which_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o dignity_n he_o contemn_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o portion_n of_o meat_n to_o satisfy_v his_o hunger_n for_o the_o present_a thus_o you_o see_v a_o large_a wide_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o man_n the_o one_o holy_a the_o other_o irreligious_a so_o that_o child_n of_o the_o same_o parent_n and_o bear_v at_o the_o same_o time_n may_v differ_v one_o from_o another_o exceed_v much_o and_o the_o observation_n arise_v hence_o be_v this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o come_n of_o the_o same_o parent_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v bear_v at_o the_o same_o time_n even_o under_o the_o same_o position_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o star_n and_o constellation_n these_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o do_v make_v child_n of_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o of_o the_o same_o disposition_n and_o quality_n child_n be_v not_o of_o the_o like_a quality_n carriage_n and_o behaviour_n because_o they_o come_v of_o the_o same_o parent_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v bear_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o under_o the_o same_o position_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o constellation_n and_o star_n as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o example_n of_o jacob_n and_o of_o esau_n and_o to_o add_v some_o further_a ground_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n we_o find_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v forbid_v his_o people_n continual_o and_o from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o observe_v time_n and_o to_o mark_v the_o constellation_n of_o the_o heaven_n as_o if_o so_o be_v that_o either_o the_o manner_n or_o disposition_n of_o
