for_o john_n describe_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n by_o who_o power_n and_o goodness_n see_v all_o thing_n be_v create_v and_o man_n themselves_o especial_o be_v endue_v with_o

of_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n but_o john_n add_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o receive_v of_o his_o but_o of_o a_o certain_a who_o because_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v therefore_o believe_v furthermore_o thou_o can_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n be_v receive_v only_o by_o faith_n but_o faith_n come_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o by_o nature_n nor_o be_v it_o give_v to_o

every_o man_n for_o tell_v i_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n how_o many_o year_n pass_v in_o which_o as_o paul_n say_v god_n suffer_v the_o gentile_n to_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n where_o be_v then_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o come_v among_o the_o gentile_n yet_o i_o grant_v that_o they_o all_o have_v so_o much_o light_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v they_o without_o excuse_n see_v their_o conscience_n be_v to_o they_o for_o a_o law_n and_o by_o the_o sight_n of_o visible_a thing_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v recall_v from_o

affirm_v that_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o lighten_v with_o the_o beam_n of_o this_o light_n neither_o inward_o nor_o outward_o but_o after_o come_v to_o christ_n i_o grant_v in_o deed_n that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v disperse_v into_o all_o land_n but_o be_v thou_o so_o sottish_a that_o thou_o think_v that_o this_o benefit_n belong_v to_o every_o man_n and_o not_o rather_o to_o certain_a that_o be_v to_o the_o elect_v of_o all_o people_n look_v now_o at_o the_o least_o what_o be_v the_o countenance_n of_o the_o

lord_n therefore_o cruel_a to_o you_o in_o deed_n as_o i_o see_v when_o a_o certain_a fellow_n even_o of_o thy_o familiar_n in_o a_o little_a book_n which_o he_o publish_v three_o year_n past_a of_o the_o largeness_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n have_v rather_o defend_v that_o they_o be_v nevertheless_o sane_z by_o christ_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o preach_v than_o think_v that_o so_o many_o man_n be_v enthral_v to_o eternal_a torment_n but_o we_o very_o have_v learn_v not_o to_o place_v health_n any_o other_o where_o than_o in_o christ_n nor_o christ_n elsewhere_o but_o in_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o faythful_n house_n so_o far_o be_v it_o off_o that_o therefore_o we_o shall_v accuse_v god_n of_o any_o cueltye_n that_o of_o the_o contrary_n we_o say_v not_o that_o he_o be_v cruel_a if_o he_o have_v reject_v even_o all_o to_o one_o see_v we_o be_v all_o by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n let_v we_o also_o proceed_v further_o for_o albeit_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v

rest_v silent_a as_o it_o be_v right_a in_o that_o will_n as_o in_o the_o sovereign_a and_o alone_a rule_n of_o justice_n for_o what_o be_v more_o just_a than_o that_o man_n judge_v that_o to_o be_v

more_o ready_a to_o wrath_n than_o to_o mercy_n because_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n by_o christ_n be_v so_o great_a that_o albeit_o it_o shall_v appertain_v to_o one_o man_n only_o yet_o for_o that_o
