list_v now_o saint_n paul_n add_v here_o the_o manner_n how_o god_n be_v so_o liberal_a unto_o we_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o deal_v the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n too_o each_o man_n by_o certain_a measure_n &_o not_o to_o every_o man_n alike_o but_o as_o he_o himself_o think_v good_a he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v by_o our_o lord_n lesus_fw-la christ_n

before_o he_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n in_o deed_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n receive_v all_o fullness_n of_o grace_n at_o his_o come_n into_o the_o world_n according_o as_o s._n john_n say_v in_o his_o first_o chapter_n 14._o that_o all_o of_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v have_v our_o fill_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n whereof_o we_o be_v hungry_a and_o

be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n have_v receive_v thereof_o and_o god_n have_v give_v too_o every_o man_n his_o portion_n and_o according_a too_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o only_a son_n but_o as_o for_o he_o god_n have_v not_o give_v he_o his_o spirit_n by_o measure_n and_o why_o for_o he_o be_v the_o head_n and_o every_o man_n must_v take_v his_o lyvelines_n from_o thence_o and_o he_o therewithal_o have_v all_o power_n over_o we_o wherefore_o let_v we_o be_v content_v that_o every_o of_o we_o have_v his_o portion_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o fear_n before_o god_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o perfectness_n be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 16._o because_o god_n spirit_n rest_v in_o he_o and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v be_v fain_o too_o

that_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o good_a thing_n furthermore_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o too_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a in_o this_o world_n &_o prove_v the_o same_o by_o his_o wonder_n miracle_n and_o gift_n yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o show_v himself_o too_o be_v the_o very_a party_n in_o deed_n which_o have_v commission_n of_o god_n his_o father_n 8._o too_o deal_v unto_o we_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o seven_o of_o saint_n john_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o yet_o give_v 39_o because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o our_o lord_n wrought_v even_o then_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n 16._o for_o when_o saint_n peter_n confess_v he_o too_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n it_o be_v answer_v he_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v not_o revel_v this_o thing_n unto_o thou_o but_o my_o heavenly_a father_n too_o be_v short_a we_o know_v well_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o we_o and_o that_o the_o good_a which_o god_n give_v we_o be_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v commit_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v too_o he_o too_o deal_v forth_o his_o doctrine_n unto_o we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n and_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o special_a commission_n too_o deal_v his_o gift_n unto_o we_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v a_o cause_n also_o why_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o god_n spirit_n rest_v upon_o he_o namely_o too_o show_v that_o if_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o he_o we_o must_v needs_o perish_v as_o it_o be_v through_o drought_n and_o emptiness_n but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o his_o point_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v then_o pour_v out_o upon_o all_o the_o faithful_a when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o other_o text_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n leave_v the_o world_n and_o be_v receive_v up_o into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v thenfforth_o enjoy_v his_o good_n so_o much_o the_o better_o and_o that_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v too_o his_o disciple_n 7._o it_o be_v erpedient_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o for_o if_o i_o tarry_v still_o with_o you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v well_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a fashion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v not_o dispute_v of_o this_o matter_n after_o our_o own_o fancy_n ●_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v humble_v for_o a_o time_n yea_o and_o utter_o empty_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o at_o length_n again_o hereafter_o but_o yet_o be_v he_o receive_v into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v have_v soverein_o dominion_n and_o be_v so_o exalt_v as_o all_o creature_n may_v stoop_v too_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_n be_v to_o absent_v himself_o from_o we_o in_o his_o body_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v the_o better_o feel_v his_o presence_n through_o his_o dwell_n in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o as_o now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o go_v up_o and_o give_v his_o gift_n too_o man_n after_o he_o have_v lead_v away_o his_o enemy_n prisoner_n now_o this_o text_n which_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o threescore_o and_o eight_o psalm_n show_v that_o god_n be_v very_o exalt_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o deed_n in_o that_o song_n david_n preach_v and_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n because_o that_o be_v establish_v king_n of_o israel_n and_o bear_v the_o figure_n
such_o a_o prerogative_n but_o that_o it_o please_v god_n to_o choze_v 〈…〉_o s._n paul_n therefore_o brag_v not_o that_o he_o have_v get_v the_o 〈…〉_o but_o with_o all_o mildness_n acknowledge_v it_o too_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o 〈…〉_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o word_n will_n betoken_v and_o that_o not_o in_o any_o one_o place_n only_o but_o throughout_o all_o the_o whole_a holy_a scripture_n therefore_o whensoever_o god_n will_v be_v mention_v it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o man_n can_v bring_v aught_o of_o their_o own_o nevertheless_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o a_o word_n of_o overplus_n and_o say_v according_a too_o the_o good_a pleasure_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v true_o see_v that_o god_n will_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o shall_v not_o fleet_n too_o and_o froo_o and_o seek_v other_o reason_n &_o mean_n thereof_o howbeit_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n be_v so_o unthankful_a and_o malicious_a that_o they_o will_v always_o darken_v god_n glory_n &_o so_o puff_v up_o with_o fond_a overween_a that_o they_o continual_o challenge_v more_o too_o themselves_o than_o belong_v unto_o they_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_o persuade_v of_o god_n will_n let_v they_o understand_v that_o it_o come_v of_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n that_o be_v too_o say_v of_o a_o free_a incline_v will_n which_o depend_v not_o upon_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o itself_o nor_o have_v any_o respect_n one_o way_n or_o other_o but_o vou●safeth_v too_o choose_v we_o free_o because_o it_o like_v &_o lift_v so_o too_o d●o_o now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o such_o as_o search_v out_o the_o cause_n why_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o will_v if_o it_o lay_v in_o they_o overthrow_v his_o everlasting_a ordinance_n for_o the_o one_o be_v unseparable_a from_o the_o other_o if_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o as_o it_o be_v show_v we_o here_o then_o can_v nothing_o hang_v upon_o our_o desert_n nor_o upon_o aught_o that_o we_o may_v have_v too_o come_v but_o god_n wrought_v it_o according_a too_o his_o own_o free_a incline_v will_n and_o find_v not_o any_o other_o reason_n to_o move_v he_o thereto_o than_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n if_o any_o man_n think_v this_o to_o be_v strange_a gear_n it_o be_v because_o they_o will_v be_v haylefellow_n with_o god_n and_o herein_o appear_v their_o devilish_a malapertness_n that_o they_o can_v suffer_v god_n to_o rain_v free_o as_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o like_v may_v be_v receive_v as_o good_a just_a &_o rightful_a without_o gainsay_v but_o let_v such_o folk_n bark_n like_o dog_n asmuch_o as_n they_o listen_v yet_o be_v this_o sentence_n definitive_a unable_a too_o be_v repeal_v which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v utter_v here_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o s._n paul_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o search_v any_o further_a cause_n of_o our_o election_n than_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v than_o his_o own_o free_a incline_v

in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o those_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n now_o he_o say_v immediate_o that_o it_o be_v too_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n here_o

these_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n quicken_v we_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a according_a too_o the_o great_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o trew_n it_o be_v

there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o goodness_n in_o god_n as_o be_v able_a to_o ravish_v we_o see_v it_o surmount_v all_o our_o capacity_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o taste_v the_o hundred_o

such_o like_a which_o have_v be_v choose_v from_o among_o that_o people_n when_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v cut_v of_o for_o although_o the_o jew_n be_v the_o first_o bear_v and_o

notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v now_o banish_v from_o god_n kingdom_n and_o be_v become_v as_o a_o precedent_n that_o ought_v too_o make_v the_o hair_n stand_v up_o upon_o our_o head_n when_o we_o behold_v the_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n of_o god_n that_o be_v utter_v upon_o they_o therefore_o whereas_o s._n paul_n and_o some_o small_a number_n more_o be_v choose_v from_o among_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v through_o god_n love_n which_o have_v the_o great_a appearance_n towards_o they_o likewise_o now_o adays_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v pure_o through_o the_o whole_a

and_o yet_o it_o be_v apparent_a too_o man_n eye_n that_o they_o become_v hard_o heart_v by_o it_o and_o wax_v worse_a and_o worse_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o see_v so_o

lykeeh_o of_o afterward_o he_o must_v reform_v we_o and_o so_o guide_v and_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o there_o may_v be_v one_o accord_n between_o our_o life_n and_o his_o law_n

to_o do_v they_o by_o his_o power_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v utter_o unprofitable_a now_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o humble_a ourselves_o before_o god_n both_o for_o that_o be_v

whereas_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n damn_v he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o have_v we_o too_o be_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o overween_a as_o too_o think_v that_o we_o

holy_a spirit_n so_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o feel_v our_o own_o weakness_n let_v we_o flee_v too_o he_o for_o refuge_n and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v any_o good_a let_v it_o not_o puff_n we_o up_o

why_o he_o say_v too_o the_o end_n you_o may_v learn_v with_o all_o the_o saint_n what_o his_o height_n &_o depth_n and_o wydnesse_n and_o thickness_n be_v that_o you_o may_v know_v all_o this_o say_v

when_o other_o folk_n march_v on_o so_o fast_o afore_o and_o run_v so_o cheerful_o toward_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o here_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o eft_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o eft_o another_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v too_o set_v we_o a_o sunder_o but_o direct_v his_o voice_n too_o

want_v of_o come_v too_o jesus_n christ._n how_o know_v we_o that_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n by_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ._n i_o say_v heretofore_o that_o faith_n sprink_v of_o election_n and_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o which_o show_v that_o the_o root_n be_v hide_v within_o he_o than_o that_o believe_v be_v thereby_o assure_v that_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o he_o and_o faith_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o copy_n or_o counterpane_n which_o god_n deliver_v we_o of_o the_o original_a register_n of_o our_o adoption_n god_n have_v his_o everlasting_a purpose_n or_o determination_n and_o that_o he_o keep_v always_o too_o himself_o as_o a_o chief_a precedent_n or_o original_a record_n whereof_o he_o give_v we_o a_o copy_n by_o faith_n i_o speak_v here_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n use_v neither_o paper_n nor_o parchment_n too_o ingroce_v we_o in_o and_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o too_o speak_v proper_o the_o register_n wherein_o we_o be_v enrol_v be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n nevertheless_o god_n reserve_v too_o himself_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o election_n as_o a_o prince_n will_v do_v a_o original_a precedent_n register_n or_o record_v but_o yet_o he_o give_v we_o copy_n or_o counterpane_n of_o it_o authentical_a enough_o in_o that_o he_o imprint_v it_o in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o be_v his_o child_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v enough_o too_o warrant_v we_o our_o election_n and_o therefore_o what_o seek_v we_o more_o i_o tell_v you_o even_o now_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o look_a glass_n wherein_o god_n behold_v we_o when_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o like_a well_o of_o we_o likewise_o also_o on_o our_o side_n he_o be_v the_o glass_n whereupon_o we_o must_v cast_v our_o eye_n and_o look_n when_o we_o mind_n too_o come_v too_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o election_n 12._o for_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 15._o be_v god_n child_n and_o consequent_o his_o heir_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v before_o then_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o if_o we_o have_v faith_n we_o be_v also_o adopt_v for_o wherefore_o do_v god_n give_v we_o faith_n even_o because_o he_o choose_v we_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n this_o therefore_o be_v a_o infastible_a order_n that_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a receive_v god_n grace_n and_o embrace_v his_o mercy_n hold_v jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o head_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o obtain_v salvation_n by_o his_o mean_n they_o know_v assure_o that_o god_n have_v adopt_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o election_n be_v of_o itself_o secret_a it_o be_v so_o deep_a &_o hide_v a_o determination_n as_o it_o beh●ueth_v we_o to_o honour_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n show_v it_o too_o we_o so_o farforth_o as_o be_v requisite_a and_o as_o he_o know_v it_o too_o be_v for_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n and_o that_o do_v he_o when_o he_o inlyghten_v we_o with_o the_o belief_n of_o his_o gospel_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o that_o after_o s._n paul_n have_v speak_v of_o god_n everlasting_a election_n he_o set_v forth_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o party_n too_o who_o we_o must_v resort_v too_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n love_v we_o and_o avow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o before_o we_o know_v he_o yea_o and_o before_o the_o world_n be_v make_v moreover_o we_o have_v to_o gather_v upon_o this_o sentence_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o predestination_n serve_v not_o too_o carry_v we_o away_o into_o wander_a speculation_n but_o to_o beat_v down_o all_o pride_n in_o we_o &_o the_o fond_a opinion_n which_o we_o conceive_v always_o of_o our_o own_o worthiness_n and_o deserve_n and_o too_o show_v that_o god_n have_v such_o free_a power_n privilege_n and_o sovereign_a dominion_n over_o we_o that_o he_o may_v refuse_v who_o he_o list_v and_o choose_v who_o he_o list_v and_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o be_v lead_v too_o glorify_v he_o and_o therewith_o too_o acknowledge_v that_o his_o choose_v of_o we_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v hold_v fast_o under_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o gospel_n for_o if_o we_o be_v his_o member_n and_o take_v he_o for_o our_o head_n according_a too_o the_o covenant_n and_o holy_a union_n that_o be_v betwixt_o he_o &_o we_o which_o can_v never_o be_v break_v so_o long_o as_o we_o believe_v his_o gospel_n we_o must_v repair_v too_o he_o too_o be_v make_v sure_a of_o our_o salvation_n because_o we_o see_v and_o feel_v by_o experience_n that_o god_n have_v adopt_v and_o choose_v we_o and_o that_o he_o present_o call_v we_o &_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o assurance_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o daily_o give_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n namely_o that_o he_o will_v be_v our_o father_n &_o special_o his_o engrave_v of_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n be_v no_o deceitful_a thing_n for_o the_o gospel_n may_v well_o be_v preach_v too_o all_o man_n yea_o even_o too_o the_o castaway_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o god_n be_v not_o so_o gracious_a too_o they_o as_o too_o touch_v they_o too_o the_o quick_a therefore_o when_o we_o have_v god_n adoption_n engrave_v in_o our_o heart_n than_o as_o
