nothing_o but_o falsehood_n in_o they_o and_o like_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v set_v a_o prince_n seal_v to_o a_o letter_n that_o have_v nothing_o therein_o or_o which_o have_v but_o imagination_n and_o dream_n contrive_v in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o offence_n worthy_a of_o death_n so_o also_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o sacrament_n be_v as_o seal_v too_o warrant_v god_n promise_n unto_o we_o and_o too_o make_v they_o of_o authority_n among_o we_o if_o we_o separate_v they_o from_o his_o word_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v falsifyer_n before_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n that_o therefore_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n upon_o this_o strain_v and_o we_o must_v mark_v also_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v set_v down_o with_o the_o common_a weal_n of_o israel_n and_o with_o the_o sacrament_n and_o promise_n too_o show_v that_o it_o be_v he_o on_o who_o all_o of_o we_o depend_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n never_o come_v at_o man_n without_o the_o mediator_n for_o sith_o he_o hate_v unrighteousness_n &_o all_o man_n be_v curse_v in_o adam_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v step_v in_o that_o we_o may_v have_v some_o entrance_n and_o access_n unto_o god._n 20._o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v also_o that_o he_o be_v the_o yea_o and_o the_o amen_o of_o all_o god_n promise_n for_o there_o shall_v never_o be_v any_o certainty_n of_o god_n promise_n without_o jesus_n christ._n 8._o and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o all_o thing_n be_v dedicate_v in_o the_o law_n with_o blood_n yea_o and_o even_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n itself_o when_o the_o covenant_n be_v red_a open_o 20._o and_o publish_v solemn_o too_o the_o people_n the_o book_n be_v besprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n too_o show_v that_o all_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n and_o all_o the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n adopt_v those_o too_o be_v his_o child_n who_o he_o have_v admit_v into_o his_o church_n must_v be_v confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n so_o then_o will_v we_o have_v the_o promise_n too_o be_v sure_a and_o infallible_a will_v we_o be_v assure_v of_o they_o that_o we_o may_v free_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o fight_v against_o all_o temptation_n we_o must_v resort_v always_o too_o jesus_n christ._n it_o be_v much_o when_o god_n tell_v we_o with_o his_o own_o holy_a mouth_n that_o he_o will_v reserve_v we_o for_o his_o own_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o needs_o tremble_v continual_o at_o his_o majesty_n till_o we_o have_v cast_v our_o eye_n upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o know_v that_o god_n like_v well_o of_o we_o for_o his_o sake_n so_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v bury_v and_o shall_v never_o come_v too_o account_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o promise_n the_o sacrament_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v must_v be_v ratify_v by_o jesus_n christ._n too_o be_v short_a if_o i_o may_v make_v a_o humane_a comparison_n and_o speak_v grisse_o he_o be_v the_o true_a sauce_n too_o make_v all_o thing_n savoury_a that_o belong_v too_o our_o salvation_n for_o without_o he_o we_o shall_v continue_v evermore_o as_o man_n in_o a_o swoon_z and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o we_o can_v conceive_v no_o hope_n at_o all_o nor_o have_v our_o mind_n so_o settle_v as_o we_o may_v resort_v unto_o god_n for_o refuge_n not_o without_o cause_n therefore_o do_v saint_n paul_n say_v that_o such_o as_o have_v no_o circumcision_n nor_o other_o sacrament_n whereby_o too_o be_v consecrate_v unto_o god_n nor_o any_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v without_o christ._n and_o now_o he_o add_v a_o thing_n which_o may_v seem_v hard_a &_o strange_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o ephesian_n be_v without_o god._n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o although_o they_o be_v wretched_a idolater_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o certain_a opinion_n that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o make_v of_o itself_o for_o we_o k●●we_v that_o all_o man_n have_v continual_o hold_v so●e_a seed_n of_o religion_n and_o even_o they_o which_o oversho●e_v themselves_o so_o far_o as_o too_o wipe_v out_o all_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v first_o most_o ugly_a monster_n and_o second_o although_o they_o strive_v too_o thrust_v all_o knowledge_n of_o god_n under_o foot_n yet_o must_v they_o needs_o have_v harthiting_n that_o sting_v they_o in_o spite_n of_o their_o tooth_n and_o they_o be_v drive_v too_o feel_v that_o they_o can_v escape_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o be_v natural_o incline_v too_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o the_o heathen_a man_n have_v always_o have_v their_o devotion_n and_o divine_a service_n as_o ●hey_n term_v they_o to_o show_v that_o they_o worship_v some_o godhead_n how_o then_o do_v s._n paul_n say_v here_o that_o they_o be_v without_o god_n we_o have_v to_o note_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o man_n to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v some_o certain_a godhead_n and_o to_o endeavour_n to_o discharge_v themselves_o of_o their_o duty_n by_o serve_v of_o a_o god_n but_o they_o must_v also_o have_v a_o

say_v that_o such_o as_o devise_v strange_a shape_n of_o god_n do_v vanish_v away_o in_o their_o own_o foolish_a imagination_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v not_o teach_v by_o god_n word_n by_o the_o law_n by_o the_o prophet_n &_o by_o the_o gospel_n be_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n and_o after_o a_o sort_n at_o their_o wit_n end_n so_o as_o they_o be_v toss_v too_o

that_o he_o shall_v forsake_v god_n and_o forge_v some_o idol_n in_o his_o own_o brain_n lo●_n what_o we_o be_v and_o it_o may_v right_v well_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v without_o god_n when_o we_o
