this_o sin_n to_o magnify_v creature_n and_o to_o rob_v christ_n jesus_n of_o his_o glory_n let_v we_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o remember_v that_o which_o be_v say_v that_o john_n baptize_v with_o water_n to_o show_v that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o grace_n we_o must_v neither_o go_v to_o peter_n nor_o yet_o to_o john_n 3.34_o john_n 1.15_o &_o 3.34_o but_o to_o jesus_n christ_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n full_a and_o whole_a to_o show_v that_o we_o must_v come_v to_o he_o alone_o moreover_o herein_o have_v be_v occasion_n take_v to_o say_v that_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n be_v imperfect_a but_o this_o be_v plain_a deceit_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o john_n when_o he_o speak_v so_o be_v not_o to_o declare_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o he_o administer_v but_o only_o to_o show_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v between_o he_o &_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o although_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n which_o john_n administer_v and_o the_o sacrament_n which_o jesus_n christ_n administer_v be_v all_o one_o &_o tend_v to_o one_o &_o the_o selfsame_o end_n yet_o john_n declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n to_o make_v baptism_n of_o any_o force_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v do_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o administer_v true_a baptism_n for_o we_o look_v not_o to_o the_o sign_n but_o to_o the_o truth_n and_o yet_o the_o sign_n agréee_v with_o the_o truth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o the_o principal_a matter_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o baptism_n consist_v upon_o two_o point_n that_o be_v that_o we_o have_v put_v of_o the_o old_a adam_n and_o be_v renew_a &_o unite_v to_o jesus_n christ_n &_o cleanse_v of_o all_o our_o spot_n when_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n &_o effect_n of_o baptism_n 8._o mat._n 3.2_o 8._o mar._n 1.4_o luke_n 3.3_o 8._o let_v we_o now_o consider_v if_o john_n do_v not_o all_o this_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o he_o do_v for_o he_o come_v &_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n &_o baptize_v to_o that_o end_n &_o purpose_n moreover_o when_o he_o baptize_v he_o preach_v repentance_n which_o import_v as_o much_o as_o we_o have_v say_v that_o we_o ourselves_o must_v be_v mortify_v &_o this_o corruption_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o adam_n must_v be_v put_v of_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n may_v reign_v in_o us._n and_o so_o when_o as_o we_o have_v thrust_v out_o all_o the_o corruption_n we_o can_v yet_o shall_v we_o find_v nothing_o else_o in_o we_o but_o what_o we_o must_v make_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o person_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o deed_n this_o be_v true_a that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o 9.18_o acts._n 9.18_o it_o be_v a_o wash_n away_o of_o our_o sin_n how_o so_o because_o by_o it_o we_o be_v confirm_v &_o ingraff_v into_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v cleanse_v &_o live_v by_o his_o mighty_a power_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n as_o may_v be_v see_v when_o annanias_n baptize_v paul_n who_o say_v to_o he_o come_v and_o wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n and_o when_o baptism_n be_v speak_v of_o we_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o sign_n but_o of_o the_o thing_n signify_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n through_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o renew_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v no_o long_o live_v to_o ourselves_o and_o as_o we_o lust_n wherefore_o do_v we_o say_v that_o all_o this_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o baptism_n forsooth_o because_o the_o commission_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v most_o certain_a and_o sure_a and_o he_o perform_v that_o inwardlye_o which_o be_v outwardlye_o signify_v for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v but_o a_o may_v game_n if_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o join_v together_o with_o the_o sign_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n join_v the_o truth_n with_o the_o sign_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v understand_v and_o know_v that_o as_o the_o visible_a sign_n signify_v a_o thing_n even_o so_o also_o receive_v we_o the_o grace_n therein_o signify_v and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o supper_n for_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o supper_n look_v how_o the_o minister_n distribute_v to_o we_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n even_o so_o do_v jesus_n christ_n make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o body_n &_o blood_n that_o we_o may_v be_v true_o and_o indeed_o his_o member_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o supper_n be_v a_o partake_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o handle_v by_o piece_n meal_n the_o thing_n which_o mortal_a man_n do_v we_o must_v then_o look_v what_o power_n and_o authority_n he_o have_v as_o when_o i_o baptise_v to_o wit_n whether_o have_v i_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o my_o sléeve_n to_o give_v or_o not_o or_o when_o i_o celebrate_v the_o holy_a supper_n have_v i_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o give_v to_o who_o it_o like_v i_o now_o this_o be_v over_o great_a arrogancy_n to_o attribute_v that_o to_o mortal_a man_n which_o proper_o belong_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o take_v from_o jesus_n christ_n the_o office_n of_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o i_o take_v water_n to_o baptize_v even_o so_o do_v jesus_n christ_n accomplish_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o signify_v by_o his_o own_o power_n and_o might_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o say_n of_o saint_n john_n i_o baptise_v with_o water_n say_v he_o and_o jesus_n christ_n baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v here_o already_o handle_v and_o shall_v be_v more_o thorough_o in_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n moreover_o it_o be_v for_o we_o thus_o to_o make_v answer_n to_o wit_n 11.16_o acts._n 11.16_o that_o we_o can_v fulfil_v the_o thing_n whereof_o we_o make_v a_o show_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o this_o that_o god_n accomplish_v that_o which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o sign_n and_o as_o by_o the_o water_n be_v signify_v the_o wash_n away_o of_o sin_n even_o so_o do_v he_o accomplish_v it_o by_o his_o blood_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o minister_n to_o the_o end_n every_o man_n may_v have_v his_o degree_n and_o measure_n and_o we_o to_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o perfection_n moreover_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o john_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n this_o do_v not_o restrain_v 3.11_o mat._n 3.11_o but_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v once_o appear_v in_o the_o same_o shape_n for_o this_o promise_n have_v be_v already_o perform_v and_o shall_v take_v place_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v visible_o send_v unto_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v to_o signify_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v always_o govern_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o shall_v fill_v we_o with_o so_o many_o of_o his_o grace_n as_o be_v needful_a in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v they_o in_o full_a perfection_n because_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v humble_v for_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o in_o full_a perfection_n what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o sure_o we_o will_v never_o have_v any_o care_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n neither_o yet_o once_o think_v that_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v always_o feel_v the_o want_n of_o his_o benefit_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o beseech_v he_o liberal_o to_o bestow_v they_o on_o us._n but_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o be_v all_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v in_o no_o wise_a that_o his_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v receive_v in_o vain_a of_o his_o faithful_a one_o in_o deed_n although_o a_o man_n be_v baptize_v
shepherd_n and_o that_o under_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n he_o present_v unto_o we_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n here_o than_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a perfection_n of_o our_o salvation_n when_o as_o we_o be_v thus_o cleanse_v and_o that_o god_n accept_v we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v pure_a and_o righteous_a and_o be_v so_o acquit_v before_o he_o as_o guiltless_a because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n for_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o must_v profit_v by_o the_o sacrament_n by_o direct_v our_o whole_a faith_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o to_o incline_v unto_o creature_n we_o see_v also_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o suffer_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o let_v it_o be_v always_o fresh_a in_o our_o mind_n when_o as_o god_n show_v we_o even_o to_o our_o face_n of_o what_o valour_n the_o issue_v out_o of_o blood_n &_o water_n from_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o so_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o concern_v the_o pierce_a of_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o beside_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v accomplish_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o this_o be_v speak_v long_o before_o this_o time_n that_o all_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o secret_a council_n of_o god_n and_o although_o the_o soldier_n know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v yet_o god_n effectual_o execute_v that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v aswell_o by_o moses_n as_o by_o his_o prophet_n zachary_n we_o have_v already_o see_v the_o testimony_n of_o exodus_fw-la and_o saint_n john_n have_v also_o put_v too_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n zachary_n who_o word_n be_v these_o they_o shall_v see_v he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_a in_o deed_n god_n use_v in_o that_o a_o similitude_n for_o 12.20_o zach._n 12.20_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o the_o contemner_n of_o his_o word_n who_o heart_n be_v rebellious_o and_o wicked_o harden_v well_o say_v he_o they_o think_v they_o make_v war_n against_o the_o preacher_n of_o my_o word_n and_o that_o they_o may_v by_o this_o mean_a stop_v they_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v against_o i_o they_o fight_v and_o whensoever_o they_o contemn_v and_o refuse_v my_o word_n after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v as_o if_o they_o wound_v i_o with_o the_o stab_n of_o a_o dagger_n and_o so_o shall_v they_o see_v he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v but_o this_o be_v true_o accomplish_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o they_o pierce_v he_o in_o his_o mortal_a body_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v manifest_v to_o be_v the_o living_n god_n who_o be_v in_o all_o age_n speak_v of_o by_o his_o prophet_n since_o we_o see_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v speak_v be_v accomplish_v in_o his_o person_n now_o it_o be_v afterward_o say_v that_o when_o joseph_n have_v obtain_v of_o pilate_n to_o take_v away_o the_o body_n of_o

great_a sum_n of_o money_n of_o myrrh_n and_o aloe_n and_o bury_v he_o in_o a_o new_a tomb_n which_o he_o have_v new_a make_v and_o hew_v out_o of_o a_o rock_n in_o this_o sepulchre_n or_o tomb_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n first_o begin_v to_o show_v the_o issue_n of_o his_o death_n which_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v very_o speedy_o glorify_v himself_o in_o his_o resurrection_n and_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n eftsoon_o to_o manifest_v it_o and_o here_o we_o see_v a_o infallible_a testimony_n that_o amongst_o so_o many_o confusion_n which_o we_o read_v in_o this_o history_n that_o may_v trouble_v we_o and_o as_o it_o be_v shake_v our_o faith_n we_o may_v perceive_v that_o god_n have_v always_o care_n of_o his_o only_a son_n as_o of_o the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o of_o his_o well-beloved_a not_o to_o the_o end_n only_o that_o we_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v also_o by_o little_a &_o little_a look_n unto_o it_o that_o since_o we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n that_o the_o fatherly_a care_n of_o god_n will_v stretch_v itself_o not_o only_o unto_o we_o but_o also_o to_o every_o one_o else_o which_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o by_o the_o way_n this_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n will_v be_v so_o sumptuous_o bury_v for_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o it_o be_v a_o superfluous_a thing_n to_o use_v the_o costlinesse_n of_o aloe_n &_o myrrh_n and_o such_o like_a and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n what_o profit_v this_o a_o dead_a man_n to_o be_v wash_v and_o anoint_v or_o to_o have_v any_o other_o glorious_a show_n and_o therefore_o a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o this_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n where_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n by_o the_o wonderful_a power_n of_o our_o god_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v that_o all_o those_o pomp_n shall_v be_v naught_o set_v by_o and_o be_v clean_o forget_v and_o hereupon_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o joseph_n his_o religion_n be_v but_o foolish_a which_o shall_v darken_v the_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n howbeit_o we_o have_v here_o to_o note_n that_o the_o jew_n use_v these_o kind_n of_o ceremony_n until_o the_o time_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v accomplish_v all_o whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o the_o burial_n at_o those_o day_n be_v as_o the_o sacrifice_n washinge_n and_o light_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o such_o like_a and_o because_o they_o be_v rude_a people_n it_o be_v meet_v they_o shall_v be_v

than_o they_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n howbeit_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o condemn_v they_o insomuch_o as_o they_o depart_v from_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o corrupt_v the_o testimony_n that_o be_v give_v they_o which_o shall_v have_v bring_v they_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n but_o however_o it_o be_v the_o burial_n of_o itself_o be_v always_o as_o

although_o they_o be_v sure_a they_o turn_v to_o dust_n in_o deed_n the_o jew_n observe_v many_o ceremony_n and_o yet_o the_o egyptian_n far_o pass_v they_o but_o this_o their_o great_a sorrow_n

sacrifice_n be_v offer_v they_o do_v eat_v and_o be_v merry_a even_o so_o likewise_o must_v we_o now_o come_v and_o receive_v our_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o food_n which_o be_v here_o offer_v unto_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o say_v that_o his_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o his_o blood_n drink_v in_o deed_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v why_o the_o holy_a table_n

to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v to_o make_v our_o profit_n of_o this_o sacrament_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v establish_v and_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o so_o often_o as_o we_o receive_v

that_o if_o we_o have_v commit_v many_o offence_n rebellion_n and_o iniquity_n against_o god_n that_o all_o shall_v be_v bury_v because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v by_o his_o obedience_n justify_v we_o &_o make_v we_o acceptable_a with_o god_n his_o father_n now_o wherein_o consist_v this_o obedience_n but_o that_o christ_n jesus_n although_o he_o suffer_v a_o cruel_a &_o terrible_a death_n yet_o be_v content_v to_o yield_v himself_o unto_o it_o for_o if_o he_o have_v feel_v no_o hardness_n nor_o strive_v in_o it_o his_o obedience_n have_v be_v nothing_o but_o inasmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n abhor_v death_n by_o nature_n yea_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o wretched_a

acknowledge_v his_o perfect_a obedience_n and_o therein_o we_o have_v very_o good_a matter_n to_o glory_n 8._o hebr._n 5.7_o 8._o as_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v hear_v but_o however_o it_o be_v it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v suffer_v and_o abide_v so_o hard_a &_o weighty_a a_o cause_n yea_o clean_o against_o all_o worldly_a affection_n and_o desire_v and_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v that_o god_n his_o father_n shall_v so_o acquaint_v he_o with_o it_o to_o the_o end_n as_o he_o say_v his_o obedience_n may_v be_v know_v we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o apostle_n namely_o specifi_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v wonderful_o afeard_a for_o

that_o we_o be_v redeem_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o body_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n &_o we_o also_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o flesh_n be_v spiritual_a meat_n &_o drink_v 6.55_o john_n 6.55_o but_o it_o be_v so_o speak_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o grossness_n and_o because_o we_o be_v canal_o mind_v the_o holy_a ghost_n send_v we_o back_o unto_o that_o that_o be_v visible_o to_o be_v perceive_v in_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o it_o we_o may_v have_v a_o assure_a pawn_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o yet_o this_o take_v not_o away_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o out_o of_o other_o place_n neither_o do_v it_o derogate_v from_o this_o point_n that_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

this_o place_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v not_o only_o suffer_v in_o body_n so_o cruel_a &_o tormentrous_a a_o death_n as_o already_o have_v be_v see_v but_o be_v also_o touch_v to_o the_o quick_a whenas_o he_o be_v to_o abide_v such_o horrible_a assault_n as_o if_o god_n have_v forsake_v he_o for_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n as_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o cause_n as_o have_v be_v say_v it_o must_v also_o needs_o be_v that_o he_o must_v feel_v the_o condemnation_n which_o be_v due_a for_o wretched_a sinner_n for_o by_o our_o sin_n we_o be_v as_o people_n estrange_v

of_o sinner_n be_v and_o this_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o god_n the_o father_n never_o forsake_v jesus_n christ_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v

to_o understande_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v drive_v to_o this_o extremity_n as_o if_o god_n his_o father_n have_v cut_v all_o hope_n of_o life_n clean_o from_o he_o it_o be_v as_o we_o

that_o that_o may_v be_v say_v be_v it_o possible_a that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v so_o fearful_o trouble_v see_v he_o be_v perfection_n itself_o for_o this_o seem_v to_o derogate_v from_o the_o

i_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o jesus_n christ_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v god_n can_v have_v no_o such_o conceit_n no_o but_o until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o his_o godhead_n must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o death_n which_o he_o must_v suffer_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n lie_v as_o it_o be_v hide_v for_o a_o time_n until_o he_o have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o redemption_n but_o now_o in_o

cold_a pull_n of_o it_o but_o s._n john_n give_v we_o a_o full_a proof_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o true_a paschall_n lamb_n since_o he_o be_v by_o the_o wonderful_a providence_n

our_o paschall_n lamb_n we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v dew_v and_o sprinkle_v with_o his_o blood_n for_o without_o that_o the_o shed_n of_o it_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a but_o when_o we_o shall_v accept_v he_o with_o this_o sacrifice_n and_o seek_v remission_n of_o our_o sin_n also_o thereby_o because_o we_o know_v that_o untyll_o he_o have_v wash_v and_o cleanse_v we_o we_o be_v very_o filthy_a then_o be_v we_o be_v dew_v with_o his_o blood_n through_o the_o spinckle_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o our_o soul_n and_o so_o be_v make_v clean_o and_o god_n accept_v and_o take_v we_o

9_o 2d_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n without_o the_o effusion_n of_o blood_n for_o behold_v why_o sacrifice_n be_v use_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o god_n have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o all_o miserable_a

the_o water_n then_o that_o cleanse_v wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v wash_v from_o all_o our_o spot_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o water_n shall_v issue_v out_o of_o his_o side_n to_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n our_o purity_n and_o that_o we_o must_v seek_v for_o none_o other_o remedy_n to_o wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o water_n and_o blood_n come_v from_o he_o by_o which_o mean_v we_o be_v thorough_o save_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o must_v make_v no_o wandless_n to_o seek_v our_o aid_n else_o where_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v consider_v more_o near_o of_o the_o matter_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o very_a notable_a similitude_n between_o the_o

i_o speak_v of_o two_o because_o there_o be_v no_o more_o institute_v in_o his_o word_n but_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n for_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o a_o vain_a imagination_n devise_v by_o the_o rash_a boldness_n of_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n pour_v out_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n aswell_o upon_o baptism_n as_o on_o the_o holy_a supper_n for_o baptism_n be_v a_o witness_n unto_o we_o that_o he_o have_v so_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n as_o that_o god_n receive_v we_o unto_o his_o

element_n wash_v and_o cleanse_v our_o soul_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v because_o water_n issue_v out_o of_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o will_v that_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v exalt_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o he_o be_v lift_v up_o &_o exalt_v unto_o the_o gallows_n be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n a_o shameful_a thing_n howbeit_o he_o mock_v and_o beguile_v the_o devil_n &_o set_v himself_o against_o all_o the_o world_n in_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v lively_o exalt_v and_o when_o he_o be_v put_v to_o this_o shame_n that_o

of_o s._n paul_n 15._o colos_n 2._o 15._o and_o in_o a_o other_o place_n he_o namely_o say_v that_o the_o cross_n although_o it_o be_v before_o time_n a_o gallow_n full_a of_o shame_n be_v now_o as_o

all_o kind_n of_o pretence_n whatsoever_o against_o us._n we_o see_v then_o in_o sum_n that_o we_o must_v ascend_v up_o by_o faith_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o

our_o joy_n in_o his_o anguish_n out_o of_o which_o come_v water_n and_o blood_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o this_o place_n 22.44_o luk._n 22.44_o now_o the_o prophet_n namely_o say_v that_o he_o will_v bedew_v or_o sprinkle_v in_o very_a deed_n this_o say_n by_o a_o similitude_n signify_v also_o to_o speak_v fair_a but_o when_o we_o shall_v consider_v better_o of_o the_o matter_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v bedew_v all_o nation_n be_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o although_o he_o be_v a_o dry_a and_o fruitless_a block_n yet_o shall_v all_o the_o world_n be_v bedeaw_v through_o his_o power_n and_o virtue_n to_o be_v short_a he_o show_v that_o god_n will_v work_v after_o a_o incomprehensible_a manner_n and_o that_o the_o jew_n shall_v not_o look_v for_o any_o worldly_a help_n but_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v surpass_v all_o man_n thought_n and_o imagination_n for_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o miracle_n our_o sense_n must_v needs_o fail_v we_o and_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o mystery_n that_o be_v to_o say_v secret_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a judge_n nor_o arbiter_n or_o day_n man_n to_o say_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o but_o let_v we_o worship_v the_o thing_n that_o can_v sink_v into_o our_o brain_n nor_o which_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o reason_n of_o and_o thus_o much_o we_o have_v in_o sum_n to_o consider_v of_o now_o this_o admonition_n appertain_v to_o we_o for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v we_o shall_v abide_v to_o be_v bedew_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o although_o he_o have_v appear_v to_o be_v as_o one_o that_o be_v fruitless_a and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o find_v in_o he_o worthy_a reputation_n yet_o when_o he_o shall_v offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o come_v near_o we_o let_v we_o not_o thrust_v he_o back_o through_o misbelief_n but_o rather_o give_v he_o free_a access_n through_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n moreover_o he_o say_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v bedeaw_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o they_o say_v he_o who_o never_o hear_v any_o speech_n of_o he_o shall_v hear_v of_o he_o and_o they_o which_o never_o understand_v shall_v understand_v of_o he_o here_o the_o prophet_n amplifi_v his_o purpose_n show_v that_o god_n the_o father_n will_v send_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n unto_o the_o jew_n although_o he_o be_v lively_o promise_v unto_o they_o but_o also_o unto_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o to_o prove_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o be_v thus_o 15.21_o rom._n 15.21_o s._n paul_n himself_o say_v as_o much_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n apply_v

of_o preach_v not_o only_o unto_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o unto_o the_o gentile_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o drift_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o this_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o a_o key_n to_o open_v unto_o we_o the_o kingdom_n god_n for_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o be_v promise_v but_o only_o to_o the_o line_n of_o abraham_n what_o have_v we_o be_v the_o better_a for_o he_o for_o although_o he_o be_v a_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n yet_o be_v this_o nothing_o to_o we_o we_o have_v neither_o part_n nor_o portion_n herein_o but_o because_o it_o be_v tell_v of_o so_o long_a time_n before_o he_o be_v send_v that_o he_o shall_v bedew_v all_o people_n forsooth_o because_o that_o they_o which_o never_o before_o understand_v may_v understand_v and_o that_o they_o to_o who_o it_o

shall_v never_o perish_v as_o he_o himself_o have_v say_v 10.28_o john_n 6.39_o &_o 10.28_o wherefore_o let_v we_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o will_v feel_v the_o benefit_n &_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o s._n luke_n here_o speak_v of_o to_o our_o salvation_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o speak_v to_o our_o ear_n &_o his_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o how_o can_v we_o attain_v thereto_o without_o he_o offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o &_o bid_v we_o upon_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o true_o join_v we_o unto_o
