down_o into_o the_o world_n nor_o what_o grace_n he_o impart_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o gospel_n they_o know_v not_o neither_o wat_fw-mi faith_n nor_o what_o prayer_n be_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v leave_n to_o do_v what_o they_o list_v and_o that_o folk_n shall_v lay_v the_o bridle_n loose_a in_o their_o neck_n of_o these_o wild_a christian_n there_o be_v tootoo_o many_o now_o a_o day_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n be_v blame_v by_o their_o mean_n for_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n upbrayde_v we_o with_o all_o such_o as_o be_v loose_a liver_n now_o a_o day_n and_o say_v that_o the_o same_o spring_v of_o our_o preach_n for_o this_o cause_n s._n paul_n have_v answer_v his_o adversary_n and_o also_o arm_v and_o fence_v we_o to_o answer_v they_o to_o the_o end_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o railer_n and_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v false_o slander_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a sort_n say_v that_o we_o give_v a_o inordinate_a liberty_n to_o all_o such_o as_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o do_v lewd_o let_v we_o look_v back_o to_o s._n paul_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o liberty_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o serve_v for_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o namely_o through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o aught_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o warn_n to_o all_o such_o as_o imagine_v a_o liberty_n after_o their_o own_o like_n therefore_o let_v they_o understande_v that_o first_o of_o all_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o become_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v we_o then_o eat_v quiet_o without_o make_v any_o 〈…〉_o will_v we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o 〈…〉_o which_o do_v now_o a_o day_n vex_v the_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a sort_n in_o the_o papacy_n let_v we_o understande_v what_o jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o let_v we_o be_v thorough_o he_o let_v he_o govern_v we_o and_o let_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n show_v their_o power_n and_o effectualness_n in_o our_o whole_a life_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o bind_v in_o this_o text_n and_o here_o s._n paul_n show_v again_o that_o the_o true_a perfection_n of_o god_n child_n consist_v in_o abace_v themselves_o so_o as_o they_o follow_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o affection_n for_o we_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v then_o can_v we_o not_o be_v but_o rebel_n against_o god_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n till_o we_o have_v kill_v all_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n that_o our_o life_n shall_v never_o be_v frame_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n except_o we_o be_v utter_o change_v both_o in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n second_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v but_o by_o communicate_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o use_v this_o word_n crucify_a for_o thereby_o he_o declare_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o cast_v off_o from_o he_o and_o not_o knit_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n our_o nature_n will_v always_o bring_v forth_o her_o own_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o naughtiness_n and_o vice_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o first_o of_o all_o freewill_n be_v beat_v down_o second_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o of_o god_n gift_n nor_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v all_o draw_v of_o his_o fullness_n for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n that_o be_v able_a too_o suffice_v us._n and_o if_o we_o seek_v never_o so_o far_o about_o elsewhere_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o drythe_o and_o we_o shall_v continue_v a_o thirst_n still_o and_o if_o we_o think_v too_o fill_v ourselves_o it_o will_v be_v but_o wyndinesse_n and_o misween_a wherewith_o we_o shall_v burst_v and_o yet_o not_o gather_v any_o good_a nourishment_n or_o substance_n now_o heereuppon_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o shall_v also_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a declaration_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o too_o have_v avouch_v that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v set_v free_a but_o by_o crucify_a all_o our_o wicked_a lust_n how_o be_v it_o for_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈…〉_o hypocrisy_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o do_v always_o find_v ●●a●ting_v hole_n and_o 〈…〉_o man_n will_v be_v esteem_v as_o a_o angel_n though_o his_o life_n be_v out_o of_o order_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n intend_v for_o a_o confirmation_n too_o add_v this_o say_n ▪_o that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v therewithal_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o man_n too_o protest_v themselves_o to_o have_v god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o they_o must_v show_v that_o he_o be_v there_o for_o he_o be_v not_o idle_a therefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v discern_v whether_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o or_o no_o he_o must_v come_v to_o our_o work_n and_o to_o our_o life_n and_o according_a as_o our_o conversation_n be_v so_o may_v he_o see_v what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o be_v within_o we_o and_o give_v judgement_n by_o our_o outward_a work_n that_o be_v apparent_a as_o for_o example_n if_o one_o will_v bear_v i_o in_o hand_n that_o a_o block_n be_v a_o live_a a_o man_n too_o see_v too_o it_o stir_v neither_o head_n nor_o foot_n thrust_v at_o it_o and_o shove_v at_o it_o and_o yet_o there_o appear_v no_o life_n in_o it_o and_o shall_v he_o then_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o piece_n of_o stone_n remove_v from_o place_n too_o place_n or_o have_v any_o power_n in_o it_o or_o be_v a_o creature_n that_o have_v a_o soul_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o those_o that_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v spiritual_a for_o although_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o enemy_n of_o god_n be_v alive_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n because_o their_o soul_n be_v utter_o corrupt_v but_o we_o live_v to_o godward_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o if_o this_o grace_n be_v in_o we_o it_o can_v not_o be_v idle_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o conversation_n will_v show_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o no._n the_o word_n walk_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o our_o life_n be_v mention_v nevertheless_o here_o be_v not_o only_o walk_v the_o word_n that_o s._n paul_n use_v import_v more_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o walk_v orderly_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o we_o must_v frame_v ourselves_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v conformable_a too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o our_o life_n must_v be_v so_o well_o rule_v as_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o god_n govern_v we_o in_o deed_n and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hold_v we_o too_o himself_o as_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o that_o he_o have_v true_o witness_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o at_o a_o word_n this_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v know_v now_o to_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n mean_v here_o to_o bewray_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o all_o such_o as_o make_v fair_a protestation_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o will_v have_v man_n to_o believe_v wondrous_a well_o of_o their_o zeal_n and_o yet_o in_o all_o their_o whole_a life_n do_v show_v 〈…〉_o at_o all_o too_o come_v near_o god_n nor_o any_o 〈◊〉_d of_o his_o word_n all_o such_o folk_n then_o be_v here_o condemn_v of_o lie_v and_o unfaythfulnesse_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v discern_v which_o be_v god_n child_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o examine_n of_o our_o life_n true_a it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v touch_v heretofore_o that_o sometime_o the_o ignorant_a wretch_n and_o such_o as_o never_o have_v any_o instruction_n in_o the_o law_n shall_v have_v some_o appearance_n of_o virtue_n but_o if_o a_o man_n sound_v they_o thorough_o he_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o well_o bend_v either_o too_o love_v their_o neighbour_n or_o to_o walk_v
under_o our_o foot_n think_v we_o that_o god_n will_v suffer_v his_o grace_n too_o be_v so_o light_o esteem_v and_o hold_v scorn_n of_o no._n for_o we_o can_v despise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o we_o must_v unhalow_a the_o blood_n of_o god_n son_n which_o he_o do_v shed_v for_o our_o redemption_n for_o the_o one_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o other_o whensoever_o and_o how_o often_o soever_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o and_o offer_v we_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n show_v himself_o ready_a to_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n so_o often_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sprinkle_v upon_o us._n all_o the_o teach_n in_o the_o world_n can_v do_v we_o any_o good_a except_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v with_o it_o to_o apply_v the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n unto_o us._n and_o if_o we_o despise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o do_v spit_v at_o the_o holy_a blood_n of_o god_n son_n which_o thing_n be_v a_o intolerable_a trayterousnesse_n therefore_o let_v we_o look_v narowly_o to_o ourselves_o and_o weigh_v well_o this_o text_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o stand_v steadfast_a and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v call_v we_o to_o so_o great_a a_o good_a turn_n and_o we_o do_v now_o know_v that_o be_v not_o by_o haphazard_n that_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v preach_v but_o because_o it_o be_v god_n will_v to_o utter_v the_o infinite_a riches_n of_o his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o let_v we_o stand_v in_o it_o and_o so_o stick_v too_o it_o as_o nothing_o may_v thrust_v we_o from_o it_o nor_o by_o any_o mean_n ever_o shake_v we_o down_o lo_o in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v away_o in_o this_o text_n moreover_o we_o be_v warn_v also_o which_o be_v the_o true_a picture_n or_o peinting_n to_o lead_v we_o too_o god_n the_o papist_n say_v we_o must_v have_v rememberance_n to_o teach_v we_o and_o that_o image_n be_v the_o book_n of_o the_o unlearned_a which_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o conceive_v high_a doctrine_n but_o have_v saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o but_o to_o three_o or_o four_o folk_n no_o it_o be_v general_o and_o to_o all_o christian_n without_o exception_n as_o well_o to_o great_a as_o small_a that_o he_o say_v that_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v than_o jesus_n christ_n be_v peint_v out_o lively_o and_o we_o must_v look_v upon_o he_o not_o with_o the_o fleshly_a eye_n of_o our_o body_n but_o with_o the_o spiritual_a eye_n of_o our_o faith_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o image_n and_o puppet_n to_o teach_v we_o what_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n neither_o need_v we_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n stone_n or_o other_o such_o pelt_a stuff_n too_o put_v we_o in_o remembrance_n of_o god_n for_o in_o all_o those_o thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n and_o lease_n but_o we_o have_v need_v to_o have_v god_n word_n preach_v and_o to_o indever_n and_o travel_n to_o make_v the_o same_o familiar_a too_o we_o that_o we_o may_v there_o behold_v god_n in_o his_o lively_a image_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n 3._o according_a also_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o second_o too_o the_o corinthian_n where_o he_o protest_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o bring_v untoo_o they_o be_v not_o hide_v from_o any_o but_o the_o unbeliever_n such_o as_o perish_v who_o the_o devil_n possess_v and_o which_o have_v their_o eye_n seal_v up_o and_o no_o wonder_n though_o they_o see_v not_o awhit_o in_o the_o open_a light_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o doctrine_n be_v so_o manifest_a untoo_o we_o as_o we_o may_v easy_o perceyve_v god_n will_n for_o he_o show_v we_o it_o familiar_o enough_o as_o oft_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v in_o somuch_o that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o make_v much_o run_v up_o and_o down_o 12._o not_o too_o fetch_v far_o wyndlass_n we_o need_v no_o more_o to_o say_v who_o shall_v sty_v up_o above_o the_o cloud_n who_o shall_v go_v beyond_o sea_n who_o shall_v go_v down_o intoo_o the_o deep_a have_v we_o god_n word_n at_o leastwise_o have_v we_o it_o preach_v pure_o then_o be_v jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o we_o and_o show_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n witness_v what_o he_o do_v for_o we_o when_o he_o suffer_v death_n to_o reconcyle_v we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n there_o he_o set_v we_o down_o a_o sure_a and_o undeceyvable_a pledge_n or_o warrant_v and_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o it_o for_o when_o we_o have_v plead_v never_o so_o much_o it_o will_v not_o excuse_v we_o our_o case_n will_v always_o go_v against_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o well_o assure_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o we_o have_v whole_o lean_v untoo_o god_n word_n which_o as_o i_o say_v bring_v we_o so_o near_o unto_o god_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a union_n itself_o which_o we_o have_v with_o he_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n we_o see_v how_o god_n do_v as_o it_o be_v stoup_n to_o our_o rudeness_n and_o infirmity_n for_o do_v he_o speak_v in_o so_o lofty_a and_o dark_a a_o stile_n as_o we_o can_v understand_v nothing_o no_o but_o contrariwise_o he_o abace_v himself_o and_o thereto_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o have_v speak_v but_o also_o add_v sacrament_n to_o his_o word_n which_o be_v the_o true_a picture_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v like_a as_o when_o we_o see_v the_o water_n of_o

beside_o this_o it_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v renew_a by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o god_n that_o then_o be_v a_o good_a picture_n and_o why_o because_o it_o bear_v god_n mark_n and_o be_v

be_v have_v by_o it_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v receive_v he_o by_o the_o gospel_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v conclude_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v rest_v upon_o the_o record_n that_o

that_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v their_o doctrine_n by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o satan_n have_v always_o deface_v god_n glory_n even_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o

the_o people_n of_o galatia_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v in_o effect_n that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o grace_n too_o

but_o we_o must_v have_v the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n to_o stick_v to_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v too_o be_v offer_v we_o of_o god_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n but_o by_o the_o way_n

will_v not_o stick_v to_o abuse_v god_n name_n to_o wind_v himself_o in_o and_o to_o get_v some_o access_n to_o we_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o our_o reverence_v of_o man_n must_v be_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o god_n may_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n continue_v unimpeach_v and_o that_o our_o lord_n may_v have_v the_o whole_a mastery_n over_o we_o to_o himself_o as_o he_o that_o be_v the_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o our_o faith_n depend_v not_o neither_o upon_o man_n knowledge_n nor_o upon_o any_o reputation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o their_o wisdom_n power_n or_o holiness_n but_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n may_v always_o have_v the_o preeminence_n for_o we_o to_o rest_n and_o settle_v ourselves_o upon_o for_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o

here_o concern_v the_o galathians_n but_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v think_v it_o strange_a why_o saint_n paul_n shall_v deal_v so_o rough_o with_o they_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o

the_o set_n forth_o of_o any_o notorious_a idolatry_n but_o upon_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n for_o they_o against_o who_o saint_n paul_n strive_v in_o this_o epistle_n maintain_v none_o other_o thing_n but_o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n law_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v and_o that_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o they_o under_o peyne_n of_o deadly_a sin_n now_o at_o the_o first_o blush_v it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o their_o case_n be_v favourable_a in_o that_o behalf_n for_o the_o case_n stand_v not_o with_o they_o as_o it_o do_v with_o the_o pope_n who_o during_o his_o tyranny_n have_v forge_v many_o law_n and_o command_v this_o and_o that_o bring_v poor_a soul_n into_o bondage_n but_o their_o say_n be_v that_o inasmuche_o as_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o

altogether_o sound_a and_o good_a ageyne_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o other_o reason_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o make_v so_o much_o a_o do_v about_o outward_a thing_n as_o whether_o one_o day_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v more_o than_o a_o other_o or_o whether_o swine_n flesh_n be_v not_o to_o be_v eat_v as_o well_o as_o mutton_n for_o whether_o a_o man_n observe_v any_o ceremony_n or_o whether_o he_o observe_v none_o as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o forbear_v the_o eat_n of_o swine_n flesh_n or_o do_v any_o other_o like_o thing_n be_v his_o so_o do_v a_o utter_a forsake_v of_o

they_o have_v forsake_v our_o lord_n jesus_n chryst_n and_o that_o they_o be_v become_v renegate_n some_o man_n will_v say_v he_o use_v overmuche_o vehemency_n but_o herein_o we_o be_v still_o warn_v that_o the_o devil_n will_v now_o and_o then_o find_v small_a trifle_n to_o draw_v we_o from_o the_o gospel_n ere_o we_o be_v aware_a and_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o

spirit_n of_o wisdom_n father_v upon_o he_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v seek_v it_o in_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o resort_v thither_o and_o if_o any_o man_n go_v about_o to_o
say_v express_o that_o he_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o he_o make_v havoc_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o play_v the_o cutthroat_n as_o you_o will_v say_v until_o god_n have_v

and_o why_o for_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o to_o this_o principle_n which_o we_o have_v treat_v of_o namely_o that_o in_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v utter_o strip_v out_o of_o all_o the_o

have_v not_o one_o spark_n of_o virtue_n in_o we_o worthy_a of_o commendation_n now_o then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o without_o cause_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o such_o as_o

the_o gospel_n give_v we_o for_o a_o remedy_n to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o be_v so_o in_o despair_n we_o shall_v flee_v to_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o the_o inheritance_n come_v by_o the_o law_n it_o shall_v not_o come_v by_o

to_o get_v favour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o the_o praise_n of_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v yield_v all_o whole_o untoo_o he_o s._n paul_n in_o speak_v here_o of_o inheritance_n meen_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o what_o soever_o god_n have_v at_o any_o time_n promise_v we_o be_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a goodness_n for_o a_o inheritance_n be_v not_o a_o wage_n or_o hire_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o father_n in_o give_v his_o child_n their_o heritage_n may_v well_o say_v see_v how_o i_o take_v pain_n for_o you_o mark_v what_o shall_v come_v of_o it_o you_o shall_v have_v my_o good_n among_o you_o but_o yet_o how_o soever_o the_o father_n deal_v with_o they_o he_o have_v none_o other_o respect_n than_o too_o his_o own_o kinship_n he_o labour_v and_o take_v great_a pain_n too_o provide_v for_o such_o as_o be_v so_o ally_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o heritage_n be_v thing_n of_o free_a gift_n among_o man_n we_o must_v not_o take_v eternal_a life_n as_o a_o deserve_a wage_n or_o hire_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o why_o it_o be_v a_o heritage_n mark_v it_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o here_o all_o worthiness_n of_o man_n be_v exclude_v for_o when_o a_o man_n make_v his_o child_n his_o heir_n he_o pass_v not_o whither_o they_o have_v do_v any_o great_a work_n or_o no_o or_o whither_o they_o be_v fair_a or_o foul_a or_o whither_o they_o be_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o that_o they_o be_v his_o child_n and_o that_o his_o mind_n be_v too_o provide_v for_o they_o another_o point_n be_v that_o saint_n paul_n in_o so_o say_v give_v we_o a_o inkling_n that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o utter_o reject_v of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o can_v no_n not_o even_o in_o this_o transitory_a life_n enjoy_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o by_o the_o only_a mere_a grace_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o sun_n shine_v as_o well_o upon_o the_o faithless_a as_o upon_o the_o faithful_a and_o all_o man_n be_v nurrish_v alike_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n give_v and_o grant_v unto_o they_o but_o yet_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v the_o unbeliever_n possess_v not_o any_o thing_n by_o just_a title_n they_o be_v but_o thief_n and_o must_v yield_v account_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o good_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v of_o god_n even_o too_o the_o last_o drop_n of_o water_n because_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v but_o defile_v they_o asmuch_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v because_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n which_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n be_v the_o thing_n whereby_o the_o benefit_n that_o god_n give_v untoo_o we_o be_v make_v clean_o 5._o that_o be_v the_o way_n for_o we_o too_o use_v they_o lawful_o but_o let_v faith_n be_v away_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o unclennesse_n for_o why_o if_o my_o hand_n be_v foul_a and_o i_o handle_v the_o pretious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n with_o they_o they_o shall_v be_v ray_v with_o the_o filthiness_n of_o my_o hand_n even_o so_o be_v it_o when_o we_o abuse_v god_n benefit_n the_o unbelief_n that_o be_v in_o we_o defile_v all_o and_o in_o the_o end_n all_o creature_n must_v cry_v out_o for_o vengeance_n upon_o we_o because_o we_o abuse_v they_o if_o we_o possess_v they_o not_o with_o faith_n
a_o mutual_a agreement_n &_o melody_n between_o god_n and_o we_o then_o have_v baptism_n the_o effect_n whereof_o s._n paul_n treat_v and_o discourse_v in_o this_o text_n and_o so_o the_o thing_n that_o make_v we_o god_n child_n and_o clothe_v we_o with_o jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o god_n draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o corruption_n wherein_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o will_v have_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v our_o head_n and_o we_o ingraff_v into_o he_o to_o be_v parttaker_n of_o his_o good_n therefore_o look_v when_o we_o receive_v that_o then_o be_v all_o accomplish_a that_o be_v

letter_n be_v nothing_o that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o but_o to_o the_o outward_a and_o visible_a sacrament_n it_o be_v all_o of_o no_o value_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o

defile_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v dedicate_v to_o so_o excellent_a a_o use_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o s._n paul_n speak_v this_o

paul_n meen_v not_o that_o baptism_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o water_n have_v the_o power_n to_o change_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v clothe_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n shall_v be_v rob_v of_o the_o praise_n that_o be_v due_a to_o himself_o alone_o but_o he_o show_v here_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v certify_v that_o we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n body_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v any_o other_o cause_n of_o it_o than_o god_n mere_a goodness_n for_o if_o we_o fetch_v windlass_n one_o where_o or_a other_o it_o be_v like_a as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o thirst_n and_o will_v turn_v his_o back_n to_o the_o fountain_n to_o seek_v water_n therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v only_a god_n which_o knit_v we_o to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n &_o that_o he_o do_v it_o by_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o cease_v not_o too_o work_v by_o baptism_n as_o by_o a_o inferior_a instrument_n according_a as_o we_o see_v how_o all_o light_n come_v of_o he_o in_o somuch_o that_o there_o be_v light_n in_o the_o world_n even_o before_o there_o be_v either_o sun_n or_o moon_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o god_n have_v establish_v the_o sun_n whereby_o we_o

upon_o this_o text_n where_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v make_v unprofitable_a if_o man_n hope_v to_o justify_v themselves_o by_o the_o law_n for_o it_o have_v be_v too_o common_a a_o error_n in_o all_o age_n that_o at_o the_o first_o set_v forth_o and_o first_o brunt_n man_n will_v needs_o pay_v god_n all_o that_o be_v due_a too_o he_o and_o in_o the_o end_n seek_v

will_v well_o enough_o grant_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v untoo_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o welfare_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n
