the_o law_n be_v not_o mortal_a to_o continue_v only_o during_o the_o life_n of_o such_o as_o have_v the_o first_o hear_v of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n which_o shall_v continue_v

make_v his_o covenant_n likewise_o with_o we_o and_o with_o those_o that_o be_v yet_o unborn_a when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v forth_o although_o then_o that_o you_o be_v not_o at_o mount_n horeb_n

likewise_o in_o the_o covenant_n that_o he_o make_v therefore_o it_o behoove_v you_o to_o keep_v his_o law_n because_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o to_o last_o for_o ever_o and_o to_o continue_v from_o

that_o although_o we_o be_v not_o at_o the_o first_o set_v abroad_o of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v report_v to_o we_o of_o the_o law_n yet_o must_v not_o god_n word_n

for_o ever_o and_o never_o decay_v now_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o we_o be_v not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o for_o we_o to_o despise_v the_o the_o thing_n that_o

therefore_o let_v we_o not_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o god_n church_n or_o attempt_v to_o innovate_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o word_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o know_v that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o hold_v on_o continual_o in_o one_o equal_a course_n and_o train_n for_o see_v he_o have_v give_v we_o his_o gospel_n and_o establish_v a_o certain_a government_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o primative_a church_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o same_o and_o to_o stay_v there_o if_o we_o do_v otherwise_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v make_v god_n word_n mortal_a and_o corruptible_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o although_o the_o world_n be_v variable_a so_o as_o there_o be_v turn_n and_o return_v every_o day_n and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o we_o all_o which_o have_v not_o a_o number_n of_o opinion_n run_v in_o his_o head_n yet_o must_v we_o not_o look_v to_o have_v the_o liberty_n to_o do_v now_o one_o thing_n and_o now_o another_o why_o so_o for_o god_n have_v not_o make_v his_o covenant_n with_o our_o father_n but_o with_o we_o that_o be_v alive_a this_o day_n then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n god_n govern_v we_o here_o and_o show_v we_o the_o way_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v as_o wander_a pilgrim_n roam_v up_o and_o down_o to_o gad_n after_o our_o own_o lust_n but_o be_v guide_v as_o it_o be_v by_o his_o hand_n to_o be_v short_a whereas_o moses_n say_v here_o we_o that_o be_v all_o alive_a this_o day_n it_o serve_v to_o

to_o the_o thing_n that_o tend_v thereunto_o furthermore_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o moses_n upbraid_v the_o people_n here_o with_o their_o unthankfulness_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o dedicate_v their_o life_n to_o the_o service_n of_o god._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v by_o what_o mean_n live_v we_o be_v it_o not_o because_o our_o lord_n have_v place_v we_o in_o this_o world_n again_o see_v that_o the_o life_n which_o we_o have_v come_v of_o he_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o bestow_v it_o in_o his_o service_n ought_v it_o not_o to_o be_v whole_o consecrate_v unto_o his_o will_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v how_o moses_n tant_v all_o such_o as_o run_v astray_o and_o follow_v not_o god_n word_n but_o yet_o herewithal_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o have_v not_o a_o doctrine_n of_o two_o or_o three_o day_n continuance_n but_o that_o we_o must_v be_v confirm_v in_o it_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v when_o

we_o so_o as_o he_o for_o his_o part_n will_v not_o be_v unfaithful_a nor_o unconstant_a but_o steadfast_a in_o his_o purpose_n see_v that_o he_o be_v so_o let_v we_o be_v the_o like_a and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o live_v let_v we_o have_v none_o other_o respect_n but_o to_o stick_v to_o he_o even_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n for_o we_o must_v not_o go_v about_o to_o knit_v and_o link_v ourselves_o to_o
the_o name_n of_o god_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o hereafter_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o they_o shall_v keep_v the_o religion_n that_o be_v give_v they_o by_o the_o law_n and_o not_o mingle_v it_o with_o any_o idolatry_n so_o as_o they_o may_v thorough_o protest_v that_o they_o have_v not_o any_o more_o god_n than_o that_o one_o which_o have_v show_v himself_o by_o his_o law_n and_o word_n that_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v contain_v here_o in_o deed_n the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n which_o have_v be_v promise_v to_o the_o

faithful_a dwell_v at_o this_o day_n for_o we_o be_v not_o settle_v in_o they_o by_o the_o mighty_a and_o miraculous_a hand_n of_o god_n as_o it_o show_v itself_o in_o those_o day_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v come_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o none_o of_o we_o come_v into_o this_o world_n by_o his_o own_o power_n and_o that_o our_o dwell_n in_o it_o be_v the_o singular_a benefit_n of_o god_n for_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o earth_n at_o all_o if_o god_n list_v not_o to_o assign_v it_o unto_o man_n it_o be_v for_o our_o sake_n that_o the_o sea_n &_o water_n withhold_v themselves_o or_o else_o they_o will_v overflowe_v and_o drown_v the_o whole_a earth_n and_o therefore_o although_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v a_o miracle_n great_a enough_o to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n voutsafe_v to_o nourish_v we_o here_o we_o know_v what_o be_v say_v in_o another_o text_n which_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o 32.8_o deut._n 32.8_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n do_v spread_v out_o his_o meetelines_n over_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o he_o divide_v the_o country_n and_o do_v set_v the_o bound_n of_o they_o then_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o can_v be_v in_o any_o nook_n or_o corner_n of_o the_o world_n without_o god_n mainteyn_v of_o we_o there_o nor_o have_v any_o place_n to_o dwell_v in_o which_o be_v not_o give_v we_o of_o his_o free_a favour_n and_o as_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n at_o that_o time_n so_o be_v the_o whole_a world_n consecrate_v thereunto_o at_o this_o day_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o king_n 2.6.8_o psal._n 2.6.8_o and_o that_o he_o have_v enlarge_v his_o dominion_n from_o the_o one_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o other_o wherefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o lord_n set_v of_o we_o here_o and_o his_o mainteyn_v of_o we_o here_o be_v to_o receive_v such_o praise_n at_o our_o hand_n as_o he_o deserve_v now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o must_v live_v of_o our_o labour_n and_o most_o man_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o world_n at_o will_n but_o a_o number_n have_v much_o a_o do_v to_o get_v bread_n and_o god_n will_v handle_v they_o very_o hardly_o but_o yet_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v one_o bit_n of_o bread_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o beholden_a to_o the_o lord_n yea_o and_o although_o man_n labour_v for_o their_o live_n yet_o must_v they_o be_v full_o resolve_v of_o this_o which_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o their_o labour_n that_o find_v they_o but_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n whereby_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v feed_v in_o the_o wildernese_n truth_n it_o be_v that_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o manna_n from_o heaven_n be_v a_o more_o manifest_a token_n but_o yet_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v god_n have_v leave_v a_o continual_a precedent_n that_o by_o what_o mean_v soever_o we_o live_v it_o be_v he_o that_o mainteyn_v we_o and_o it_o be_v at_o his_o hand_n that_o we_o receive_v both_o sustenance_n and_o nourishment_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v you_o see_v then_o that_o no_o man_n can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o serve_v of_o his_o god_n and_o from_o show_v by_o our_o deed_n that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o beholden_a unto_o he_o both_o for_o our_o life_n and_o for_o all_o thing_n belong_v thereunto_o again_o the_o more_o bountiful_o and_o liberal_o that_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v provoke_v to_o serve_v he_o therefore_o let_v every_o of_o we_o on_o his_o own_o behalf_n learn_v to_o bear_v god_n benefit_n well_o in_o mind_n let_v not_o the_o poor_a murmur_n though_o they_o wot_v not_o oftentimes_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v they_o but_o let_v they_o assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n will_v so_o bless_v the_o little_a which_o they_o have_v as_o it_o shall_v well_o enough_o sustain_v they_o to_o live_v therewith_o and_o as_o for_o the_o rich_a sort_n which_o have_v more_o abundance_n let_v they_o understand_v that_o god_n show_v of_o himself_o so_o gracious_a towards_o they_o be_v to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v the_o better_o know_v he_o and_o honour_n he_o for_o although_o the_o scotfree_a sort_n may_v now_o and_o then_o allege_v that_o they_o have_v take_v much_o pain_n in_o gather_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o possess_v or_o that_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o they_o by_o some_o other_o mean_v and_o that_o they_o have_v they_o by_o succession_n from_o their_o father_n and_o ancestor_n yet_o will_v not_o god_n lose_v his_o right_n for_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v his_o blessing_n that_o make_v man_n scotfree_a therefore_o they_o that_o possess_v most_o must_v know_v that_o god_n be_v liberal_a to_o they_o after_o that_o fashion_n be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o bind_v they_o the_o streitly_o to_o he_o and_o to_o allure_v they_o the_o more_o to_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o as_o their_o father_n yea_o and_o as_o a_o kindhearted_a father_n which_o desire_v nothing_o but_o to_o give_v his_o child_n their_o fill_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n so_o as_o they_o may_v not_o want_v any_o thing_n thus_o have_v we_o here_o a_o general_a rule_n which_o be_v that_o after_o as_o god_n give_v we_o ease_v and_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o world_n so_o must_v we_o be_v the_o more_o dispose_v to_o love_v he_o for_o that_o gentleness_n of_o he_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o when_o we_o have_v so_o taste_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o find_v savour_n in_o it_o needs_o must_v there_o be_v too_o great_a unkindenesse_n and_o churlishness_n in_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o move_v to_o love_v he_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o that_o must_v be_v not_o only_o in_o our_o eat_n &_o drink_v but_o also_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o concern_v this_o present_a life_n as_o for_o example_n if_o god_n give_v we_o peace_n and_o quietness_n while_o other_o be_v in_o trouble_n or_o at_o war_n if_o we_o be_v unuexed_a of_o plague_n and_o disease_n while_o we_o see_v a_o number_n of_o other_o folk_n afflict_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o our_o lord_n allure_v we_o gentle_o unto_o

to_o wit_n that_o the_o more_o we_o know_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n so_o much_o the_o more_o must_v we_o eschew_v the_o same_o and_o even_o so_o it_o be_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v

that_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o let_v we_o therefore_o understande_v that_o when_o god_n have_v once_o make_v we_o to_o perceive_v the_o filthynesse_n and_o abomination_n which_o be_v
