some_o greek_a interpreter_n now_o which_o of_o these_o be_v the_o certain_a truth_n in_o truth_n be_v uncertain_a indeed_o the_o father_n be_v not_o so_o confident_a that_o it_o be_v write_v in_o

reason_n be_v because_o all_o the_o other_o penman_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n both_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n write_v in_o greek_a which_o be_v the_o most_o vulgar_a and_o know_a tongue_n then_o in_o those_o part_n where_o they_o live_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o only_a matthew_n will_v use_v a_o divers_a idiom_n or_o language_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o proof_n allege_v by_o the_o father_n prove_v not_o their_o opinion_n their_o proof_n be_v matthew_z write_v in_o hebrew_n because_o he_o be_v a_o hebrew_n and_o write_v to_o hebrew_n

that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o fountain_n of_o this_o gospel_n but_o a_o stream_n only_o flow_v from_o the_o fountain_n and_o derive_v unto_o we_o as_o maldonate_fw-it say_v by_o some_o uncertain_a

the_o hebrew_n word_n which_o saint_n matthew_n for_o some_o cause_n do_v retain_v in_o this_o gospel_n he_o do_v interpret_v not_o into_o other_o hebrew_n word_n
which_o be_v very_o likely_a he_o will_v have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v write_v in_o hebrew_n but_o into_o greek_a word_n as_o emmanuel_n i._n e._n god_n with_o we_o eli_n eli_n lammasabachthani_fw-la

when_o lesser_a sinner_n stand_v out_o here_o publican_n and_o harlot_n be_v soon_o reduce_v to_o the_o faith_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n who_o glory_v

there_o be_v a_o better_a step_n for_o grace_n to_o work_v upon_o then_o in_o such_o lesser_a for_o the_o understanding_n hereof_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n belong_v unto_o

the_o lesser_a sinner_n can_v easy_o defend_v and_o excuse_v their_o sin_n whereas_o the_o great_a doe_n quick_o confess_v they_o as_o be_v see_v in_o the_o publican_n and_o pharisee_n john_n 9_o

first_o we_o once_o have_v power_n and_o free_a will_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o god_n shall_v command_v we_o and_o willing_o we_o lose_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o excusable_a answ_n 2_o second_o although_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o of_o ourselves_o yet_o god_n have_v gracious_o provide_v a_o mean_n sufficient_a namely_o christ_n which_o mean_v the_o angel_n have_v not_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o without_o fault_n if_o we_o be_v not_o convert_v answ_n 3_o three_o god_n have_v give_v his_o gospel_n unto_o we_o and_o therein_o christ_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o and_o

6_o which_o check_n they_o when_o they_o do_v amiss_o and_o therefore_o those_o who_o sin_n against_o conscience_n be_v not_o to_o be_v excuse_v seven_o god_n often_o give_v general_a grace_n to_o answ_n 7_o those_o who_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n who_o can_v be_v excuse_v when_o they_o neglect_v and_o abuse_v those_o grace_n eight_o he_o who_o neglect_v grace_n offer_v sin_n answ_n 8_o inexcusable_o but_o god_n offer_v grace_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o we_o neglect_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v inexcusable_a nine_o he_o that_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n answ_n 9_o

still_o and_o therefore_o no_o transgressor_n of_o god_n law_n can_v be_v hold_v guiltless_a or_o innocent_a ten_o he_o that_o violate_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n sin_n inexcusable_o answ_n 10_o but_o he_o which_o hear_v &_o see_v his_o misery_n and_o understand_v that_o salvation_n be_v in_o christ_n sin_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n if_o he_o neglect_v he_o because_o even_o nature_n teach_v we_o to_o wish_v well_o and_o do_v well_o unto_o ourselves_o and_o to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o none_o who_o neglect_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v excuse_v last_o the_o reason_n of_o our_o impotency_n in_o do_v answ_n 11_o good_a be_v found_v and_o build_v upon_o our_o own_o unwillingness_n hard-hartednesse_a and_o averseness_n because_o we_o neither_o love_v nor_o desire_n to_o obey_v god_n and_o not_o from_o any_o necessity_n in_o the_o will_n or_o understanding_n the_o devil_n can_v but_o sin_n because_o the_o power_n
