and_o i_o do_v better_o like_o this_o latter_a sense_n 15_o hereto_o agree_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n we_o see_v now_o how_o the_o apostle_n take_v nothing_o to_o themselves_o imperious_o

how_o well_o the_o testimony_n of_o

from_o idol_n for_o we_o do_v not_o comprehend_v god_n in_o his_o essence_n which_o can_v be_v see_v and_o which_o be_v infinite_a therefore_o he_o use_v such_o mean_n as_o agree_v best_a with_o we_o

when_o he_o call_v himself_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n 30.12_o deut._n 30.12_o he_o do_v brief_o teach_v that_o which_o moses_n declare_v more_o at_o large_a say_v not_o who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o

because_o he_o shall_v be_v send_v the_o second_o time_n by_o his_o father_n to_o be_v a_o judge_n arm_v and_o prepare_v to_o render_v vengeance_n unless_o they_o embrace_v he_o now_o for_o their_o

we_o must_v seek_v for_o christ_n no_o where_n else_o save_v only_o in_o heaven_n while_o that_o we_o hope_v for_o the_o last_o restore_n of_o all_o thing_n because_o he_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o we_o until_o our_o mind_n ascend_v high_a above_o the_o world_n until_o the_o time_n of_o restore_v as_o touch_v the_o force_n and_o cause_n christ_n have_v already_o restore_v all_o thing_n by_o

do_v yet_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o servitude_n for_o as_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o begin_v and_o the_o perfection_n thereof_o be_v defer_v until_o the_o last_o day_n so_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v annex_v thereunto_o do_v now_o appear_v only_o in_o part_n therefore_o if_o at_o this_o day_n we_o see_v many_o thing_n confuse_v in_o the_o world_n let_v this_o hope_n

that_o we_o be_v uphold_v with_o the_o hope_n of_o restore_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o christ_n do_v not_o appear_v by_o and_o by_o because_o the_o warfare_n of_o the_o church_n be_v

by_o all_o the_o prophet_n certes_o the_o gospel_n do_v win_v no_o small_a credit_n hereby_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n begin_v to_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n he_o do_v always_o set_v

16.25_o rom._n 1.1_o &_o 16.25_o this_o be_v true_a antiquity_n which_o be_v able_a to_o purchase_v credit_n to_o doctrine_n when_o as_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o author_n the_o holy_a prophet_n the_o witness_n and_o the_o continual_a course_n of_o time_n confirm_v the_o testimony_n this_o confirmation_n be_v especial_o necessary_a for_o the_o jew_n who_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o the_o

the_o prophet_n have_v testify_v of_o christ_n 22_o moses_n true_o say_v unto_o the_o father_n the_o lord_n your_o god_n shall_v raise_v up_o a_o prophet_n unto_o you_o of_o your_o brethren_n he_o

by_o this_o argument_n he_o prove_v that_o he_o go_v not_o about_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o revolt_v from_o moses_n because_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n to_o take_v heed_n to_o and_o obey_v this_o chief_a teacher_n here_o may_v a_o doubt_n arise_v why_o peter_n think_v it_o more_o convenient_a to_o cite_v this_o testimony_n of_o moses_n than_o other_o see_v there_o be_v many_o other_o in_o readiness_n far_o more_o plain_a but_o he_o do_v this_o for_o this_o cause_n because_o he_o intreat_v in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o doctrine_n and_o this_o be_v the_o best_a

reverent_o to_o be_v receive_v this_o be_v therefore_o the_o thing_n which_o peter_n aim_v at_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o hear_v christ_n willing_o as_o the_o master_n who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o teach_v they_o but_o here_o arise_v a_o question_n which_o have_v in_o it_o great_a difficulty_n too_o wit_n in_o that_o peter_n apply_v that_o unto_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n which_o moses_n speak_v general_o of_o the_o prophet_n for_o although_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o a_o prophet_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n yet_o the_o text_n do_v plainley_o declare_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o one_o alone_a but_o that_o this_o word_n be_v put_v indefinite_o for_o after_o that_o moses_n have_v forbid_v the_o people_n to_o give_v themselves_o unto_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o

upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n alone_o by_o this_o mean_n he_o promise_v that_o god_n will_v be_v careful_a at_o all_o time_n to_o send_v they_o prophet_n that_o they_o may_v teach_v they_o aright_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n will_v never_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v destitute_a of_o prophet_n of_o who_o you_o may_v learn_v whatsoever_o shall_v be_v profitable_a for_o you_o to_o know_v and_o moses_n say_v express_o of_o thy_o brethren_n to_o the_o end_n the_o jew_n may_v know_v that_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v and_o fetch_v not_o where_o else_o see_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v unto_o they_o teacher_n of_o the_o kindred_n of_o abraham_n he_o add_v further_o like_v unto_o i_o that_o they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o hear_v god_n only_o at_o one_o time_n or_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o one_o man_n but_o as_o god_n proceed_v to_o teach_v we_o by_o diverse_a minister_n throughout_o the_o continual_a course_n of_o time_n so_o must_v we_o hold_v on_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o word_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v wont_v to_o reverence_n moses_n therefore_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o give_v like_o honour_n to_o the_o prophet_n i_o know_v that_o many_o will_v fain_o restrain_v it_o unto_o christ_n they_o catch_v at_o this_o word_n 18.15_o deut._n 18.15_o whereas_o moses_n do_v testify_v that_o the_o prophet_n shall_v be_v like_a unto_o he_o whereas_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v write_v that_o there_o arise_v none_o like_o unto_o moses_n i_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v in_o both_o place_n the_o same_o note_n of_o likeness_n yet_o in_o a_o diverse_a sense_n for_o in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o likeness_n or_o equality_n be_v express_v as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v they_o catch_v also_o at_o another_o thing_n that_o

to_o pass_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v believe_v by_o whosoever_o it_o be_v bring_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o we_o shall_v set_v ourselves_o to_o be_v laugh_v to_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o unjust_a thing_n &_o a_o point_n of_o discourtesy_n to_o provide_v for_o himself_o alone_o &_o not_o to_o regard_v other_o he_o count_v it_o a_o point_n of_o filthy_a

for_o it_o skill_v much_o whether_o man_n mind_n be_v direct_v in_o seek_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n because_o they_o shall_v not_o receive_v one_o drop_n without_o christ_n therefore_o there_o be_v this_o general_a difference_n between_o christ_n &_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n because_o they_o give_v the_o external_a sign_n of_o water_n but_o he_o fulfil_v and_o perform_v the_o

johns_n baptism_n &_o we_o be_v not_o all_o one_o while_o that_o christ_n challenge_v to_o himself_o the_o spirit_n do_v leave_v nothing_o for_o john_n save_o water_n alone_o but_o if_o any_o man_n

scripture_n use_v to_o speak_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o because_o christ_n be_v not_o unfaithful_a in_o his_o promise_n he_o do_v not_o suffer_v that_o to_o be_v vain_a which_o he_o do_v institute_v but_o when_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v attribute_n to_o baptism_n strength_n to_o wash_v &_o regenerate_v it_o ascribe_v all_o this_o to_o christ_n and_o do_v only_o

that_o man_n mind_n be_v draw_v from_o mortal_a and_o frail_a thing_n and_o thing_n like_v to_o themselves_o and_o from_o the_o element_n of_o the_o world_n they_o must_v learn_v to_o seek_v for_o

from_o the_o spirit_n unto_o the_o sign_n &_o he_o be_v a_o sacrilegious_a person_n who_o take_v even_o but_o a_o inch_n of_o christ_n praise_n that_o he_o may_v deck_v man_n therewith_o and_o we_o must_v also_o remember_v that_o christ_n do_v comprehend_v under_o the_o word_n spirit_n not_o only_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n but_o all_o the_o whole_a grace_n of_o our_o renew_v but_o because_o these_o gift_n be_v a_o excellent_a argument_n of_o christ_n his_o power_n this_o sentence_n may_v well_o be_v apply_v unto_o they_o i_o will_v make_v this_o more_o plain_a see_v that_o christ_n do_v bestow_v upon_o the_o apostle_n the_o visible_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o do_v plain_o declare_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o do_v testify_v that_o he_o be_v the_o alone_a author_n of_o cleanness_n righteousness_n &_o of_o the_o whole_a regeneration_n and_o peter_n appli_v it_o unto_o his_o purpose_n thus_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n do_v go_v before_o carry_v with_o he_o the_o force_n of_o baptism_n it_o become_v he_o to_o follow_v with_o the_o addition_n that_o be_v the_o outward_a

governor_n of_o all_o the_o whole_a matter_n therefore_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n consist_v in_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n whether_o meat_n be_v not_o of_o more_o weight_n than_o man_n counsel_n peter_n affirm_v that_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v right_o and_o orderly_o do_v because_o he_o obey_v god_n he_o show_v that_o he_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o

this_o rule_n so_o often_o as_o man_n call_v we_o to_o a_o account_n for_o whosoever_o stay_v himself_o upon_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n he_o have_v defence_n enough_o if_o man_n be_v not_o

do_v not_o that_o which_o our_o calling_n require_v and_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o it_o for_o peter_n say_v that_o he_o can_v deny_v baptism_n and_o brotherly_a fellowship_n to_o the_o gentile_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n but_o he_o shall_v have_v assay_v nothing_o which_o be_v manifest_o contrary_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n but_o
