you_o hear_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o marriage_n unto_o the_o which_o many_o be_v bydden_a that_o not_o only_o come_v not_o and_o regard_v not_o but_o that_o also_o

but_o a_o kingdom_n in_o heaven_n signifyethe_v where_o as_o god_n only_o be_v king_n that_o do_v we_o call_v the_o holy_a church_n which_o be_v now_o for_o christ_n do_v therefore_o use_v the_o

which_o be_v the_o true_a kyngdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o the_o which_o cause_n all_o that_o have_v the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o believe_v &_o continue_v in_o christ_n by_o faith_n they_o be_v

of_o his_o word_n as_o we_o will_v of_o a_o power_n that_o be_v almighty_a for_o he_o that_o have_v that_o have_v all_o and_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n and_o he_o that_o have_v it_o not_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o sin_n death_n and_o the_o devil_n for_o look_v what_o christ_n do_v here_o with_o the_o son_n of_o the_o ruler_n 1._o where_o as_o he_o defend_v he_o by_o his_o word_n against_o

purpose_v not_o only_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o corporal_a evil_n but_o also_o from_o sin_n and_o eternal_a death_n wherefore_o we_o must_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o this_o ruler_n that_o in_o

and_o moment_n he_o will_v have_v the_o sycke_n child_n make_v whole_a so_o we_o also_o must_v not_o doubt_n but_o that_o christ_n will_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o help_v we_o if_o we_o do_v but_o ask_v it_o of_o he_o and_o trust_v sure_o for_o it_o of_o he_o world_n for_o to_o this_o intent_n be_v he_o send_v and_o come_v into_o the_o earth_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n &_o death_n to_o

which_o we_o may_v know_v certain_o &_o true_o what_o be_v faith_n our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n teach_v none_o otherwise_o as_o touch_v faith_n then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a knowledge_n concern_v christ_n and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v but_o in_o this_o the_o true_a christian_n have_v no_o more_o than_o the_o devil_n &_o hypocrite_n have_v for_o these_o also_o know_v of_o christ_n &_o of_o his_o miracle_n &_o act_n but_o as_o concern_v christian_a faith_n the_o scripture_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a that_o by_o it_o we_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n righteousness_n faith_n &_o everlasting_a life_n for_o this_o say_v paul_n we_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 7._o and_o the_o prophet_n abacuk_n say_v the_o righteous_a lyve_v by_o faith_n and_o christ_n say_v to_o mary_n who_o sin_n be_v forgeven_v go_v thy_o way_n thy_o faith_n have_v save_v thou_o wherefore_o this_o faith_n be_v no_o faith_n of_o the_o devil_n &_o of_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o congregation_n which_o know_v only_o the_o history_n &_o hold_v it_o as_o pure_o &_o sincere_o as_o christian_n do_v for_o this_o can_v not_o be_v hide_v privy_a from_o the_o devil_n what_o he_o do_v &_o suffer_v in_o the_o earth_n but_o although_o this_o be_v necessary_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o know_v yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a faith_n by_o the_o which_o we_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a but_o in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v describe_v by_o a_o example_n what_o be_v true_a faith_n even_o to_o think_v sure_o that_o that_o christ_n speak_v &_o promise_v be_v most_o certain_a &_o without_o all_o fault_n for_o these_o two_o be_v join_v together_o be_v when_o god_n promise_v that_o we_o shall_v embrace_v it_o with_o faith_n &_o doubt_v nothing_o but_o that_o it_o be_v most_o true_a and_o that_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a although_o we_o do_v not_o perceive_v it_o or_o see_v it_o and_o look_v where_o the_o promise_n be_v &_o we_o embrace_v it_o with_o faith_n that_o be_v a_o true_a &_o christian_a faith_n as_o we_o see_v in_o this_o ruler_n he_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o go_v down_o with_o he_o and_o to_o help_v his_o son_n the_o ruler_n take_v it_o very_o hevy_o and_o be_v great_o afraid_a for_o he_o dread_v great_o least_o that_o if_o he_o borough_n not_o christ_n betimes_o his_o son_n shall_v die_v &_o afterward_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o hope_n of_o help_n by_o this_o he_o declare_v what_o manner_n of_o faith_n he_o have_v where_o as_o he_o knowledge_v christ_n for_o his_o helper_n for_o without_o this_o meaning_n he_o will_v never_o have_v come_v to_o christ._n wherefore_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v count_v a_o great_a thing_n that_o where_o as_o by_o nature_n he_o despeir_v of_o recoveringe_v of_o life_n for_o man_n have_v no_o long_a hope_n of_o life_n in_o he_o yet_o he_o take_v a_o long_a journey_n to_o christ_n with_o that_o hope_n that_o if_o he_o may_v bring_v christ_n to_o he_o before_o he_o be_v dead_a he_o shall_v not_o be_v past_a cure_n but_o yet_o can_v not_o christ_n take_v this_o for_o faith_n because_o that_o although_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o such_o as_o for_o the_o set_n forth_o whereof_o he_o come_v into_o this_o world_n for_o he_o will_v not_o be_v take_v and_o acknowledge_v only_o for_o a_o helper_n in_o bodily_a necessity_n yea_o and_o that_o so_o he_o be_v present_a but_o such_o word_n be_v set_v forth_o as_o touch_v he_o in_o the_o promise_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o may_v feel_v that_o his_o godly_a power_n be_v present_a against_o all_o evil_a but_o special_o against_o spirirual_a evil_n if_o he_o have_v divine_a and_o godlyke_a power_n they_o must_v his_o word_n be_v think_v almighty_a and_o to_o this_o point_n do_v he_o adhort_v this_o ruler_n that_o he_o may_v rather_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o miracle_n than_o the_o miracle_n themselves_o and_o that_o he_o may_v begin_v at_o last_o to_o hope_v for_o salvation_n out_o of_o the_o word_n although_o there_o have_v be_v no_o miracle_n show_v for_o in_o the_o miracle_n be_v there_o always_o present_a aid_n require_v but_o this_o be_v true_a faith_n that_o despeir_v not_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o word_n although_o there_o be_v no_o sign_n of_o present_a aid_n and_o succour_n and_o this_o must_v be_v the_o faith_n of_o all_o saint_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v and_o not_o our_o will_n and_o that_o if_o god_n show_v not_o himself_o appliant_a unto_o we_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o will_v and_o after_o what_o way_n we_o will_v yet_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v from_o praise_a he_o as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v wherefore_o he_o require_v such_o a_o faith_n that_o can_v abide_v patient_o although_o god_n miracle_n be_v not_o do_v at_o his_o beck_n but_o this_o faith_n can_v not_o be_v
