for_o this_o people_n that_o have_v so_o gross_o depart_v from_o god_n that_o have_v go_v so_o against_o their_o light_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v come_v bold_o and_o claim_v their_o interest_n in_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o affliction_n true_o we_o see_v the_o same_o spirit_n in_o man_n at_o this_o very_a day_n the_o most_o wicked_a and_o vile_a ungodly_a man_n or_o woman_n that_o be_v yet_o will_v be_v ready_a in_o affliction_n to_o claim_v interest_n in_o god_n applicat_fw-la my_o god_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o in_o this_o congregation_n if_o one_o shall_v go_v from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o speak_v particular_o to_o every_o one_o and_o ask_v but_o this_o question_n do_v you_o hope_v that_o god_n be_v your_o god_n every_o one_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v yes_o we_o hope_v he_o be_v this_o be_v the_o impudence_n of_o man_n heart_n that_o will_v take_v liberty_n to_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o rebellion_n and_o fight_v against_o god_n all_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o distress_n claim_v interest_n in_o god_n three_o 3._o that_o knowledge_n and_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n in_o a_o outward_a formal_a

have_v make_v some_o profession_n of_o god_n we_o know_v thou_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v lord_n we_o be_v not_o as_o other_o that_o have_v forsake_v thou_o we_o continue_v israel_n still_o we_o

a_o true_a interest_n in_o god_n truth_n in_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n to_o be_v able_a to_o say_v in_o truth_n lord_n we_o know_v thou_o and_o bless_v be_v thy_o name_n lord_n we_o have_v

further_o prove_v to_o be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o we_o never_o argue_v thus_o why_o what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o it_o be_v it_o not_o very_o comely_a i_o can_v think_v but_o it_o may_v do_v a_o

the_o devil_n and_o his_o temptation_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o say_v it_o be_v write_v thus_o and_o thus_o so_o if_o you_o can_v but_o bring_v a_o word_n write_v against_o it_o and_o if_o you_o can_v

so_o neither_o the_o only_a opinion_n of_o learned_a man_n nor_o custom_n nor_o antiquity_n must_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o worship_n but_o what_o be_v write_v i_o have_v write_v to_o they_o the_o

themselves_o be_v alive_a they_o will_v abhor_v the_o use_n that_o many_o make_v of_o their_o quotation_n cyprian_n in_o one_o of_o his_o epistle_n say_v we_o must_v not_o look_v what_o this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n that_o be_v before_o we_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o predecessor_n what_o he_o do_v or_o what_o he_o teach_v but_o what_o he_o that_o be_v before_o all_o namely_o christ_n who_o alone_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n and_o so_o august_n augustin_n have_v another_o speech_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n speak_v of_o the_o ancient_n of_o learned_a man_n save_v all_o due_a respect_n that_o be_v due_a to_o they_o yet_o for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o we_o may_v not_o cast_v out_o even_o reject_v from_o their_o write_n some_o thing_n because_o they_o be_v learned_a man_n this_o must_v not_o be_v admit_v for_o say_v he_o such_o a_o one_o i_o will_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o write_n of_o other_o man_n and_o such_o a_o one_o will_v i_o have_v those_o that_o understand_v my_o write_n to_o be_v to_o i_o i_o will_v not_o think_v of_o the_o write_n of_o any_o other_o man_n before_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o cast_v out_o nor_o mend_v neither_o will_v i_o have_v any_o body_n think_v so_o of_o my_o write_n ambrose_n and_o so_o ambrose_n where_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a we_o must_v not_o speak_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o those_o man_n for_o the_o maintain_n of_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a they_o will_v make_v use_n of_o quotation_n and_o antiquity_n yet_o we_o see_v the_o ancient_n do_v abhor_v this_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n they_o quote_v none_o of_o the_o learned_a man_n before_o they_o but_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n but_o you_o will_v say_v object_n though_o we_o must_v not_o take_v that_o which_o other_o man_n write_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n yet_o that_o which_o other_o man_n write_v may_v help_v we_o to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n now_o i_o remember_v luther_n have_v such_o a_o speech_n answ_n that_o scripture_n shall_v rather_o help_v we_o to_o understand_v man_n write_n luther_n than_o man_n write_n to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n many_o man_n they_o will_v make_v man_n write_n to_o be_v as_o a_o judge_n and_o to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o understand_a scripture_n not_o the_o judge_n of_o truth_n but_o the_o rule_n of_o understand_a scripture_n whereas_o say_v he_o the_o scripture_n shall_v rather_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o understand_v they_o and_o so_o hilary_n say_v he_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n and_o understanding_n they_o he_o be_v the_o best_a interpreter_n that_o rather_o take_v the_o sense_n from_o out_o of_o scripture_n and_o by_o compare_v one_o scripture_n with_o another_o than_o bring_v any_o new_a sense_n therefore_o the_o understanding_n of_o scripture_n be_v more_o by_o scripture_n than_o by_o the_o write_n of_o any_o man_n live_v and_o yet_o still_o no_o question_n we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n in_o other_o but_o so_o as_o to_o keep_v we_o close_o to_o the_o write_a word_n for_o the_o rule_n yea_o and_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o rule_n they_o may_v help_v we_o to_o see_v whether_o the_o scripture_n will_v justify_v this_o truth_n or_o this_o sense_n for_o there_o lie_v the_o mistake_n most_o people_n in_o the_o world_n will_v think_v this_o indeed_o that_o whatsoever_o any_o man_n write_v if_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n rule_n we_o may_v not_o receive_v it_o but_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o word_n in_o what_o sense_n they_o take_v it_o now_o we_o must_v not_o go_v so_o far_o for_o the_o scripture_n write_v be_v not_o only_o that_o we_o may_v know_v what_o the_o rule_n be_v but_o it_o be_v write_v that_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o rule_n and_o we_o must_v fetch_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o scripture_n by_o scripture_n now_o so_o far_o as_o the_o write_n of_o man_n will_v help_v we_o to_o fetch_v out_o the_o meaning_n of_o scripture_n by_o scripture_n so_o far_o we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o they_o but_o we_o can_v say_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n because_o it_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o such_o and_o such_o learned_a man_n scripture_n but_o such_o and_o such_o learned_a man_n will_v give_v you_o reason_n and_o compare_v one_o scripture_n with_o another_o to_o show_v why_o it_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o and_o they_o will_v show_v you_o the_o history_n of_o the_o time_n and_o show_v you_o how_o to_o compare_v old_a and_o new_a testament_n one_o with_o another_o and_o this_o be_v the_o use_n of_o writer_n for_o understand_v the_o scripture_n then_o you_o will_v say_v why_o do_v we_o make_v use_n of_o writer_n so_o much_o why_o thus_o they_o show_v how_o one_o scripture_n look_v towards_o another_o and_o to_o compare_v one_o scripture_n with_o another_o and_o show_v the_o coherence_n of_o thing_n the_o sense_n of_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v resolve_v in_o the_o scripture_n its_o self_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v ourselves_o very_o close_o to_o what_o be_v write_v write_v it_o be_v not_o so_o at_o first_o it_o be_v deliver_v but_o from_o hand_n to_o hand_n blessing_n but_o afterward_o when_o
