TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>The rigor of Moises law towards seruants
        was such, that he who had fulfilled the exact
        time of his bondage, a choise should be giuen
        him, either to be set at libertie, or else to be
        bondman to his maister as long as he liued. If
        the seruant choose to be bonde, his maister
        should bore his eare with an alle, &amp; that was
        called free will seruice. The same ought euery
        christian man to do, who, as it were a free ser-
        uant vnder the law of grace, ought to offer his
        eare to God, that he may make it capable, &amp;
        obedient to his commandments. This great
        <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac165"/>
        benefit is to be imbraced of all men, which
        thing the Psalmist semeth to insinuate in this
        place, where he saith, thou hast bored or
        made readie my eares. There are others that
        interprete the place of Moises otherwise, that
        such voluntarie bondage, did signifie those
        that gaue themselues wholy to earthly plea-
        sures, reseruing no time to amendement,nor
        yet euer seeking to redeeme themselues into
        the libertie of the spirit of God (which is our
        seruice by faith in Iesus Christ) wherefore
        their eares doe signifie perpetuall calamitie
        and miserie.
