fall_v into_o a_o gross_a error_n which_o they_o may_v conceive_v by_o this_o doctrine_n of_o he_o for_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n why_o then_o say_v the_o heretic_n apollinarius_n eunomius_n and_o such_o like_a than_o it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v now_o a_o mere_a natural_a body_n and_o what_o be_v so_o contrary_a as_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a animal_n and_o spiritual_a be_v clean_a contrary_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n still_o bid_v we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o distinguish_v between_o the_o son_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o son_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o contrary_a than_o these_o now_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a therefore_o they_o say_v if_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o spiritual_a body_n than_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v idem_fw-la corpus_fw-la the_o same_o body_n another_o crew_n say_v if_o they_o shall_v be_v

another_o thing_n make_v by_o god_n of_o a_o strange_a composure_n against_o this_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o distinction_n of_o a_o natural_a body_n and_o a_o spiritual_a body_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o these_o monster_n follow_v neither_o for_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o great_a god_n to_o add_v such_o excellency_n to_o that_o body_n which_o be_v before_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o mortal_a and_o to_o draw_v such_o line_n upon_o it_o to_o give_v it_o such_o beauty_n and_o perfection_n that_o it_o shall_v seem_v rather_o a_o spirit_n than_o a_o body_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o full_a of_o quickness_n and_o motion_n and_o life_n and_o dexterity_n that_o it_o shall_v rather_o seem_v a_o spirit_n than_o a_o body_n to_o speak_v comparative_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o see_v the_o apostle_n prove_v his_o distinction_n that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o make_v of_o his_o own_o head_n of_o his_o own_o brain_n any_o general_a principle_n or_o definition_n or_o division_n or_o distribution_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o must_v show_v reason_n for_o it_o then_o second_o what_o reason_n do_v the_o apostle_n give_v for_o it_o why_o it_o be_v also_o write_v he_o prove_v this_o his_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n and_o unless_o he_o can_v have_v prove_v it_o out_o of_o they_o he_o must_v have_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o censure_n of_o all_o these_o heretic_n that_o all_o that_o they_o have_v pass_v upon_o he_o shall_v have_v go_v for_o good_a except_o he_o can_v have_v refute_v they_o by_o the_o scripture_n so_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v write_v so_o that_o here_o we_o have_v a_o main_a conclusion_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o hold_v to_o always_o and_o to_o stick_v to_o that_o we_o must_v believe_v no_o man_n further_o than_o the_o scripture_n if_o he_o will_v speak_v his_o own_o mind_n he_o may_v do_v it_o for_o illustration_n or_o for_o argument_n sake_n but_o to_o put_v the_o device_n of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o brain_n to_o go_v for_o point_n of_o religion_n for_o matter_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v a_o damnable_a thing_n he_o must_v have_v no_o more_o credit_n than_o the_o scripture_n will_v afford_v he_o he_o must_v make_v no_o distinction_n and_o difference_n except_o it_o be_v find_v in_o the_o write_a word_n if_o this_o have_v be_v well_o observe_v the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v never_o come_v to_o that_o miserable_a distraction_n that_o it_o have_v be_v in_o for_o the_o space_n of_o these_o thousand_o year_n every_o intruder_n still_o presume_v to_o make_v his_o own_o device_n fundamental_a to_o avert_v the_o point_n of_o religion_n &_o to_o make_v distinction_n such_o as_o man_n never_o see_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o talk_v of_o purgatory_n invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o of_o other_o error_n new_o spring_v up_o in_o these_o late_a time_n such_o thing_n as_o these_o have_v no_o kind_n of_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n no_o nor_o any_o show_n of_o be_v notwithstanding_o these_o proud_a imperious_a spirit_n will_v bring_v they_o upon_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o lay_v a_o heavy_a yoke_n upon_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o believe_v they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o very_a oracle_n of_o almighty_a god_n himself_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o these_o thing_n teach_v i_o as_o far_o as_o thou_o

bernard_n bernard_n bernard_n and_o also_o gregory_n gregory_n gregory_n say_v therefore_o this_o bless_a apostle_n he_o put_v down_o his_o proof_n he_o will_v have_v they_o believe_v he_o no_o further_o than_o he_o bring_v scripture_n for_o it_o it_o be_v write_v say_v he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o make_v not_o this_o distinction_n of_o a_o natural_a body_n and_o a_o spiritual_a body_n i_o have_v it_o make_v to_o my_o hand_n for_o it_o be_v write_v and_o where_o be_v it_o write_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o find_v that_o all_o the_o whole_a sentence_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v any_o where_o but_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n the_o other_o part_n be_v make_v up_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o apostle_n understand_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o adam_n to_o make_v up_o the_o antithesis_fw-la of_o that_o notable_a difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o some_o of_o the_o father_n do_v take_v it_o thus_o that_o the_o whole_a sentence_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v write_v that_o ofttimes_o in_o the_o scripture_n thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v write_v and_o to_o be_v do_v which_o be_v not_o write_v nor_o do_v mean_v not_o in_o their_o kind_n but_o in_o their_o effect_n by_o some_o consequence_n as_o st._n chrysostom_n say_v of_o this_o chrysost_n chrysost_n from_o the_o reason_n and_o event_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v write_v because_o that_o man_n do_v see_v every_o christian_n know_v that_o christ_n jesus_n do_v so_o far_o pass_v and_o surmount_v the_o first_o adam_n as_o god_n surpass_v man_n as_o the_o soul_n surpass_v the_o body_n therefore_o the_o event_n and_o consequent_a of_o the_o thing_n make_v it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v write_v for_o god_n have_v make_v it_o good_a and_o so_o have_v set_v it_o as_o a_o sure_a writing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o he_o give_v instance_n from_o divers_a scripture_n in_o the_o like_a thing_n as_o in_o heb._n 12.21_o 12.21_o heb._n 12.21_o the_o apostle_n say_v speak_v of_o the_o terror_n of_o moses_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o mount_n when_o the_o law_n be_v give_v the_o terror_n be_v so_o great_a that_o moses_n say_v i_o fear_v exceed_o now_o in_o the_o book_n of_o exodus_fw-la 19_o exod._n 19_o chap._n 19_o where_o those_o thing_n be_v relate_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n mention_v that_o moses_n say_v any_o such_o word_n but_o the_o gloss_n expound_v it_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a upon_o the_o deed_n upon_o the_o terror_n that_o moses_n conceive_v he_o tremble_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n do_v although_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v he_o do_v tremble_v so_o here_o also_o it_o may_v be_v say_v although_o there_o be_v no_o such_o word_n as_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o sentence_n that_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a spirit_n yet_o the_o facto_fw-la it_o be_v true_a for_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n know_v and_o subscribe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o main_a difference_n between_o they_o such_o other_o place_n there_o be_v as_o that_o in_o isay_n 7.14_o 7.14_o isay_n 7.14_o a_o virgin_n shall_v conceive_v and_o bring_v forth_o a_o son_n and_o they_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n emanuel_n now_o this_o be_v never_o do_v de_fw-fr facto_fw-la as_o st._n chrysostom_n observe_v chrysost_n chrysost_n the_o people_n never_o call_v he_o so_o they_o call_v he_o jesus_n not_o emmanuel_n and_o although_o the_o angel_n give_v that_o name_n to_o the_o virgin_n yet_o the_o people_n use_v it_o not_o and_o yet_o say_v st._n

forth_o such_o a_o voice_n and_o testimony_n that_o he_o be_v emmanuel_n god_n with_o we_o therefore_o these_o father_n think_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v this_o that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o
to_o dip_v to_o wash_v and_o make_v clean_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n among_o christian_n they_o use_v when_o they_o lay_v their_o dead_a body_n forth_o to_o wash_v they_o and_o anoint_v they_o and_o all_o this_o be_v do_v as_o a_o certain_a assurance_n and_o sign_n of_o the_o resurrection_n so_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v imbalm_v by_o joseph_n of_o arimathea_n and_o

before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o grave_n this_o custom_n be_v use_v in_o egypt_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o express_a word_n act_n 9_o dorcas_n or_o tabytha_n when_o she_o be_v dead_a she_o be_v wash_v and_o lay_v in_o a_o upper_a room_n and_o it_o seem_v this_o custom_n be_v use_v by_o profane_a man_n themselves_o in_o most_o country_n as_o the_o poet_n speak_v of_o tarquynus_fw-la when_o he_o be_v dead_a be_v slay_v for_o his_o foul_a act_n and_o tyrannize_a part_n a_o good_a woman_n say_v he_o take_v he_o and_o in_o devotion_n wash_v his_o body_n and_o anoint_v he_o according_a to_o the_o solemnity_n of_o funeral_n so_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o argument_n as_o beza_n think_v be_v this_o that_o all_o this_o expense_n about_o these_o corpse_n carry_v they_o to_o their_o grave_n in_o pomp_n that_o we_o cast_v they_o not_o out_o as_o beast_n unbury_v but_o commit_v they_o to_o the_o bowel_n of_o our_o mother_n earth_n to_o lie_v there_o in_o

will_v cast_v they_o away_o without_o any_o care_n but_o we_o have_v a_o stately_a sumptuous_a care_n of_o their_o obsequy_n and_o proceed_n in_o this_o business_n therefore_o we_o have_v a_o certain_a hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n tertullian_n tertul._n tertul._n say_v if_o you_o ask_v i_o the_o fashion_n of_o my_o life_n and_o how_o i_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o how_o i_o wash_v

allude_v to_o the_o custom_n that_o be_v then_o among_o christian_n which_o be_v receive_v from_o the_o jew_n or_o hebrew_n that_o have_v great_a skill_n in_o it_o and_o write_v it_o in_o book_n and_o put_v it_o into_o their_o thalmud_n where_o there_o be_v a_o great_a long_a chapter_n to_o this_o purpose_n how_o the_o funeral_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v and_o of_o a_o truth_n there_o be_v some_o force_n of_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o custom_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o prove_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o common_a faith_n in_o the_o resurrection_n but_o i_o be_o persuade_v s._n paul_n do_v not_o great_o care_v for_o these_o fashion_n because_o they_o be_v but_o weak_a for_o though_o they_o prove_v something_o yet_o man_n may_v object_v and_o say_v what_o do_v you_o tell_v we_o of_o idle_a custom_n that_o because_o man_n be_v carry_v by_o their_o friend_n with_o weep_v and_o lamentation_n to_o their_o grave_n and_o those_o that_o be_v of_o greaer_fw-mi rank_n with_o pomp_n and_o solemnity_n because_o they_o do_v thus_o shall_v we_o therefore_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o resurrection_n because_o this_o argument_n may_v suffer_v the_o traverse_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o full_a although_o it_o prove_v something_o as_o calvin_n calvin_n calvin_n say_v well_o because_o death_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o last_o extirpation_n and_o extinguish_v and_o root_a out_o of_o man_n therefore_o it_o have_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n to_o devise_v life_n in_o death_n and_o to_o represent_v life_n by_o death_n for_o man_n that_o have_v friend_n that_o be_v man_n of_o respect_n and_o be_v able_a to_o have_v it_o so_o be_v carry_v to_o their_o grave_n with_o more_o pomp_n and_o magnificence_n than_o ever_o be_v do_v to_o they_o in_o all_o their_o life_n because_o they_o will_v overcome_v death_n and_o make_v their_o scaffold_n of_o joy_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o height_n of_o death_n more_o than_o before_o in_o their_o life_n time_n to_o outwork_n the_o fear_n of_o death_n in_o those_o that_o be_v live_v and_o to_o give_v assure_v hope_n of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a therefore_o it_o be_v profitable_a for_o the_o church_n to_o invent_v these_o thing_n and_o the_o church_n approve_v of_o it_o and_o then_o the_o apostle_n argument_n be_v to_o what_o end_n be_v all_o these_o

this_o word_n be_v never_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n in_o this_o sense_n but_o in_o this_o place_n and_o saint_n paul_n as_o chrysostome_n say_v he_o call_v the_o election_n chrysost_o s._n chrysost_o the_o collection_n for_o the_o saint_n or_o the_o collection_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o first_o original_n of_o the_o word_n come_v of_o lego_n which_o in_o the_o greek_a language_n have_v

collect_v for_o such_o day_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o name_n be_v this_o when_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o time_n of_o read_v be_v the_o people_n come_v to_o offer_v up_o their_o gift_n to_o offer_v to_o the_o poor_a man_n box_n of_o such_o mean_n as_o god_n have_v enable_v they_o and_o that_o be_v call_v the_o collection_n and_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v say_v be_v to_o this_o

the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o collect_v be_v still_o a_o collection_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v read_v in_o the_o epistle_n &_o gospel_n a_o collection_n of_o they_o and_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v fit_v the_o time_n but_o the_o church_n join_v to_o the_o collection_n of_o they_o prayer_n the_o collection_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v bless_v they_o with_o so_o they_o join_v prayer_n and_o practice_v together_o they_o offer_v free_o such_o thing_n as_o come_v to_o hand_n and_o withal_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o accept_v of_o their_o collection_n in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n it_o be_v call_v common_o a_o communion_n so_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 1._o 1._o rom._n 1._o that_o i_o may_v communicate_v with_o you_o and_o in_o gal._n 6._o

unto_o it_o according_a as_o god_n have_v enable_v he_o now_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o metaphor_n be_v divers_a for_o some_o take_v it_o from_o the_o gather_n of_o a_o field_n which_o be_v the_o

intention_n of_o the_o word_n the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v a_o gracious_a field_n the_o field_n of_o god_n the_o vineyard_n of_o god_n the_o garden_n of_o god_n it_o be_v no_o idle_a place_n no_o barren_a ground_n but_o a_o place_n that_o bring_v forth_o flower_n and_o fruit_n in_o abundance_n in_o joh._n 15._o 15._o joh._n 15._o say_v christ_n my_o father_n be_v the_o husbandman_n compare_v the_o church_n to_o a_o vineyard_n in_o gen._n 32._o 32._o gen._n 32._o say_v isaac_n the_o smell_n of_o my_o son_n be_v like_o the_o smell_n of_o a_o field_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v bless_v now_o therefore_o as_o the_o field_n and_o the_o garden_n and_o the_o vineyard_n by_o the_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o former_a and_o latter_a rain_n and_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v yield_v forth_o timely_a fruit_n in_o due_a season_n and_o not_o only_o timely_a fruit_n but_o full_a and_o plentiful_a fruit_n so_o the_o church_n of_o god_n ought_v much_o more_o to_o demean_v herself_o that_o she_o be_v not_o sterile_a and_o barren_a and_o fruitless_a not_o to_o bear_v a_o little_a fruit_n to_o no_o purpose_n as_o the_o corn_n that_o be_v in_o the_o house_n top_n 1._o psal_n 1._o whereof_o the_o mower_n fill_v not_o his_o hand_n nor_o he_o that_o bind_v

they_o must_v leave_v some_o glean_n remain_v still_o for_o the_o poor_a so_o there_o must_v be_v in_o this_o collection_n and_o gather_v fruit_n god_n people_n be_v his_o tree_n be_v his_o corn_n field_n and_o vineyard_n that_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n fruit_n acceptable_a and_o fruit_n seasonable_a in_o the_o gather_n of_o these_o fruit_n there_o must_v always_o be_v a_o remainder_n for_o the_o poor_a one_o that_o have_v nothing_o so_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v and_o appoint_v deut._n deut._n and_o make_v the_o law_n thou_o shall_v not_o shake_v thy_o olive_n tree_n thou_o shall_v not_o shake_v all_o off_o it_o but_o thou_o shall_v leave_v some_o here_o and_o there_o that_o the_o poor_a may_v get_v something_o and_o when_o thou_o reape_v thy_o field_n thou_o shall_v not_o rake_v up_o thy_o corn_n all_o together_o to_o thyself_o but_o thou_o shall_v leave_v some_o glean_n as_o we_o see_v ruth_n glean_v in_o the_o field_n of_o boaz_n and_o when_o thou_o take_v in_o thy_o vintage_n thou_o shall_v not_o gather_v every_o cluster_n but_o thou_o shall_v leave_v some_o scatter_a cluster_n for_o the_o poor_a to_o come_v after_o and_o take_v thus_o the_o bless_a god_n will_v have_v still_o some_o relic_n for_o the_o poor_a and_o which_o be_v strange_a once_o in_o seven_o year_n the_o poor_a have_v all_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o year_n be_v the_o year_n of_o sabbaoth_n and_o rest_n so_o then_o out_o of_o this_o metaphor_n or_o reference_n we_o learn_v what_o kind_n of_o person_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v till_v we_o and_o manure_v we_o and_o have_v spend_v much_o time_n and_o labour_n and_o pain_n and_o cost_v about_o we_o so_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o not_o to_o remain_v barren_a and_o to_o bring_v forth_o such_o fruit_n as_o that_o we_o may_v have_v sufficient_a for_o ourselves_o and_o something_o also_o remain_v unto_o other_o that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o exuberancy_n a_o
