<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, & 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, & 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. </p> |
