too_o the_o promise_n insomuche_o that_o god_n free_a offering_n of_o himself_o untoo_o abraham_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o abraham_n be_v count_v righteous_a because_o he_o accept_v the_o favour_n

that_o such_o as_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o abraham_n be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o we_o must_v be_v fashion_v after_o his_o example_n or_o else_o the_o gate_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v shette_v against_o we_o and_o we_o be_v quite_o

shall_v we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v miserable_a but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o in_o the_o second_o
staff_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v he_o as_o he_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a then_o can_v not_o abraham_n bring_v aught_o of_o himself_o for_o look_v what_o goodness_n so_o ever_o he_o have_v he_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n and_o moreover_o the_o same_o be_v yet_o still_o unsufficient_a too_o save_o he_o for_o by_o nature_n he_o be_v utter_o lose_v and_o damn_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o adam_n line_n be_v therefore_o it_o stand_v he_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n shall_v receyve_v he_o through_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o single_o in_o his_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n justify_v of_o we_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o own_o mere_a and_o alone_a goodness_n and_o that_o thereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v in_o his_o promise_n by_o the_o virtue_n whereof_o he_o allow_v and_o accept_v we_o yea_o and_o our_o work_n also_o not_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o come_v of_o ourselves_o but_o for_o that_o we_o do_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o do_v he_o accept_v they_o and_o allow_v they_o as_o righteous_a yea_o even_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o reward_v they_o as_o the_o whole_a scripture_n do_v plentiful_o witness_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o this_o also_o proceed_v of_o faith_n for_o when_o

there_o be_v not_o any_o worthiness_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o then_o like_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n only_o free_a goodness_n when_o we_o receyve_v his_o promise_n by_o faith_n even_o so_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v by_o the_o self_n same_o mean_a after_o that_o manner_n be_v abraham_n justify_v in_o his_o

you_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v make_v account_n of_o but_o only_a faith_n for_o have_v god_n list_v to_o sift_v abraham_n life_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v as_o all_o

have_v his_o eye_n shut_v against_o all_o vain_a trust_v wherewith_o man_n deceyve_v themselves_o he_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o able_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o life_n save_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o abraham_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n so_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o only_o of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v he_o justify_v so_o then_o let_v we_o leave_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n imagine_v to_o bring_v themselves_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n by_o mingle_v this_o and_o that_o with_o faith_n for_o they_o be_v all_o but_o falshod_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o let_v faith_n have_v such_o foundation_n as_o this_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o with_o all_o humility_n we_o acknowledge_v

that_o be_v the_o second_o benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n bring_v we_o and_o they_o be_v two_o thing_n knit_v together_o by_o unseparable_a band_n so_o that_o like_a as_o the_o

unto_o god_n they_o be_v wretched_a carcase_n full_a of_o rottenness_n but_o when_o they_o dye_v in_o themselves_o they_o live_v untoo_o god_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n saint_n paul_n in_o the_o twelve_o too_o the_o roman_n call_v we_o lyve_a sacrifice_n 1_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v transform_v and_o utter_o gyve_v over_o our_o own_o reason_n and_o our_o own_o will_n too_o yield_v god_n such_o service_n as_o be_v meet_v for_o he_o too_o have_v he_o say_v offer_v up_o yourselves_o as_o lyve_a sacrifice_n so_o then_o in_o the_o law_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o deadly_a death_n a_o death_n that_o leave_v we_o utter_o overwhelm_v and_o sink_v even_o down_o intoo_o hell_n but_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o quicken_a death_n and_o why_o for_o we_o be_v crucify_v with_o jesus_n christ_n too_o live_v unto_o god_n that_o be_v too_o say_v 4_o our_o old_a man_n as_o saint_n paul_n term_v it_o in_o the_o six_o too_o the_o roman_n and_o that_o which_o we_o

o_o say_v they_o be_v they_o so_o that_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o give_v every_o man_n the_o bridle_n too_o live_v after_o his_o own_o like_n and_o too_o cause_n that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o

to_o look_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o upon_o his_o rightuousnesse_n that_o the_o same_o may_v do_v away_o all_o our_o offence_n now_o s._n paul_n say_v here_o that_o we_o can_v not_o

these_o thing_n be_v no_o sin_n among_o the_o papist_n and_o i_o say_v not_o that_o only_o the_o common_a sort_n be_v thus_o abuse_v but_o it_o be_v the_o resolute_a doctrine_n and_o determination_n of_o all_o their_o university_n that_o such_o thing_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v count_v sin_n they_o can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o before_o baptism_n all_o be_v sin_n but_o when_o we_o be_v once_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v we_o never_o so_o much_o provoke_v unto_o evil_a do_v or_o be_v we_o never_o so_o much_o shake_v too_o and_o fro_o all_o be_v well_o to_o be_v short_a though_o we_o be_v

well_o worthy_a to_o be_v cast_v into_o such_o blockishness_n for_o like_a as_o they_o have_v set_v up_o idol_n and_o puppette_n to_o worship_n so_o be_v it_o good_a reason_n that_o they_o shall_v

then_o though_o such_o manner_n of_o folk_n be_v harry_v away_o after_o that_o fashion_n for_o in_o asmuch_o they_n have_v deface_v god_n glory_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o nothing_o they_o must_v needs_o become_v stark_a beast_n but_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n mark_v what_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o upon_o the_o other_o sexte_v of_o s._n paul_n namely_o that_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o â—hat_n if_o our_o manifest_a deed_n do_v prove_v we_o too_o be_v rebel_n against_o god_n then_o sure_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v tickle_v with_o any_o wicked_a lust_n inward_o although_o the_o same_o be_v not_o know_v of_o man_n to_o make_v we_o faulty_a to_o the_o worldward_n god_n will_v find_v a_o infinite_a number_n yea_o even_o a_o whole_a sea_n of_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o drown_v in_o cursednesse_n to_o all_o respect_n till_o god_n look_v mercyful_o upon_o we_o and_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o we_o must_v apply_v this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n too_o our_o instruction_n namely_o that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o consider_v not_o by_o the_o vice_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o we_o that_o god_n come_v to_o examine_v our_o life_n therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o second_o that_o when_o we_o see_v our_o sin_n to_o be_v such_o as_o be_v know_v and_o manifest_a to_o all_o man_n and_o utter_o unexcusable_a yea_o even_o before_o child_n we_o must_v be_v lead_v further_o thereby_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v search_v ourselves_o to_o the_o bottom_n and_o understand_v that_o all_o our_o lust_n and_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v utter_a rebelliousnesse_n against_o god_n now_o if_o every_o man_n be_v diligent_a in_o examine_v himself_o after_o this_o fashion_n sure_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o sigh_v and_o groan_v all_o pride_n &_o loftiness_n will_v be_v lay_v down_o yea_o and_o we_o will_v be_v

and_o clean_o behind_o our_o back_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n forget_v they_o not_o howbeit_o if_o we_o will_v that_o he_o shall_v forget_v they_o it_o will_v behoove_v we_o to_o remember_v they_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n whereunto_o s._n paul_n incourage_v we_o in_o this_o text_n furthermore_o we_o see_v what_o fondness_n and_o ignorance_n or_o rather_o beastliness_n have_v be_v in_o the_o popish_a doctor_n in_o that_o they_o have_v think_v this_o word_n flesh_n too_o be_v token_n nothing_o else_o in_o man_n but_o fleshliness_n or_o sensuality_n as_o they_o term_v it_o for_o thus_o do_v they_o part_v it_o they_o be_v content_v to_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n in_o all_o our_o lust_n which_o they_o term_v by_o the_o name_n of_o inferior_a or_o low_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n say_v they_o we_o have_v our_o will_n free_a yea_o even_o in_o such_o
thus_o you_o see_v what_o they_o esteem_v to_o be_v pureness_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o we_o know_v that_o the_o cheefseruice_n which_o god_n require_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v whole_o
