first_o make_v bold_a to_o press_v thou_o to_o a_o revew_n of_o the_o text_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n you_o can_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n this_o verse_n be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o bible_n that_o thou_o and_o i_o and_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n do_v take_v to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v as_o free_v from_o any_o lie_n or_o falsehood_n as_o the_o sunbeam_n be_v from_o darkness_n i_o shall_v not_o therefore_o injure_v thou_o so_o much_o as_o if_o i_o do_v mistrust_v thou_o to_o ask_v whether_o thou_o believe_v this_o portion_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v true_a or_o false_a but_o rather_o do_v thou_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v so_o write_v there_o as_o here_o it_o be_v transcribe_v if_o thou_o doubte_v take_v thy_o bible_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o chapter_n and_o the_o verse_n if_o thou_o will_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v on_o my_o word_n i_o profess_v i_o have_v not_o i_o will_v not_o deceive_v thou_o for_o a_o world_n the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o text_n open_v i_o say_v unto_o you_o to_o you_o who_o be_v those_o why_o those_o that_o be_v present_a at_o that_o time_n in_o which_o christ_n be_v preach_v this_o sermon_n they_o be_v his_o disciple_n his_o follower_n such_o as_o own_v he_o for_o their_o saviour_n and_o call_v he_o lord_n and_o christ_n in_o a_o word_n they_o be_v such_o as_o thou_o profess_v thyself_o to_o be_v that_o art_n my_o reader_n 2_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o who_o be_v this_o ay_o it_o be_v he●_n that_o preach_v the_o sermon_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v christ_n and_o not_o matthew_n that_o do_v record_v it_o it_o be_v christ_n and_o not_o i_o that_o be_o about_o to_o plead_v withthee_o

that_o we_o say_v and_o they_o be_v confident_a that_o god_n be_v more_o merciful_a than_o we_o preacher_n will_v make_v they_o believe_v but_o think_v reader_n it_o be_v not_o i_o nor_o any_o minister_n on_o earth_n that_o be_v the_o preacher_n in_o my_o text_n it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o master_n of_o we_o all_o and_o can_v thou_o hope_v it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o christ_n here_o tell_v thou_o be_v not_o this_o all_o one_o as_o to_o hope_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v thyself_o a_o blasphemer_n or_o dare_v thou_o be_v so_o impudent_a

though_o he_o tell_v thou_o he_o say_v nothing_o but_o what_o god_n his_o father_n command_v he_o if_o he_o tell_v thou_o plain_o except_o thy_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n thou_o shall_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n will_v thou_o bold_o contradict_v all_o and_o say_v that_o notwithstanding_o what_o ever_o
