so_o then_o saint_n paul_n meaning_n in_o this_o text_n be_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v let_v the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n alone_o without_o care_n of_o they_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v

as_o god_n ordain_v it_o and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o jew_n use_v it_o holy_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a warrant_n to_o they_o of_o god_n adoption_n as_o if_o he_o have_v cleanse_v they_o from_o all_o the_o

he_o show_v that_o the_o sacrament_n take_v and_o borrow_v their_o force_n of_o god_n word_n for_o if_o there_o be_v nomore_o but_o the_o bare_a sign_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o great_a

then_o may_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v well_o learned_a but_o if_o our_o former_a life_n bewray_v we_o too_o have_v be_v as_o stray_v sheep_n or_o rather_o as_o utter_o peak_a away_o after_o

and_o harken_v willing_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v too_o be_v profitable_a yea_o and_o needful_a for_o we_o and_o so_o saint_n paul_n speak_v not_o alone_a for_o the_o ephesian_n but_o

as_o our_o life_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o may_v answer_v for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v learn_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o old_a man_n say_v that_o he_o be_v

for_o he_o and_o saint_n paul_n take_v a_o resemblance_n hereof_o in_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o too_o put_v away_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o old_a man_n be_v too_o forsake_v our_o own_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v altogether_o curse_a and_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o from_o our_o moother_n womb_n that_o be_v good_a and_o clean_a therefore_o if_o we_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o imagination_n and_o follow_v our_o own_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o give_v the_o bridle_n too_o our_o affection_n

as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o let_v we_o understand_v then_o that_o we_o be_v corrupt_v so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o old_a man_n that_o be_v too_o say_v so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v still_o in_o our_o own_o state_n and_o nature_n no_o doubt_n but_o we_o will_v think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v lyvelinesse_n enough_o but_o that_o be_v but_o a_o madness_n and_o all_o

shall_v never_o take_v place_n but_o be_v banish_v far_o from_o we_o what_o be_v too_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v first_o rid_v away_o all_o scornfulness_n and_o pride_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o

in_o vain_a and_o so_o you_o see_v in_o what_o sense_n s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v light_v in_o the_o lord_n namely_o because_o god_n word_n ought_v too_o be_v as_o a_o burn_a lamp_n unto_o

12._o as_o i_o have_v allege_v before_o according_a whereunto_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o so_o also_o do_v the_o scripture_n name_v he_o again_o our_o lord_n

that_o be_v too_o say_v we_o be_v so_o iâ—â—yghtened_v that_o god_n light_n be_v in_o we_o namely_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o

give_v a_o warning_n that_o the_o fruit_n of_o
we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o when_o we_o see_v the_o mischief_n feed_v and_o increase_v by_o our_o unfaithfulness_n let_v we_o provide_v for_o it_o and_o let_v every_o man_n be_v compel_v too_o

the_o very_a mean_a to_o rid_v away_o the_o plague_n that_o satan_n will_v have_v maintain_v still_o by_o silence_n and_o dissimulation_n therefore_o whensoever_o we_o perceive_v any_o imposthume_n

shall_v see_v here_o in_o saint_n paul_n teach_v also_o there_o be_v a_o reason_n that_o constrain_v master_n sometime_o too_o use_v the_o great_a rigour_n towards_o their_o slave_n because_o it_o be_v a_o common_a proverb_n among_o they_o that_o look_v how_o many_o slave_n they_o have_v so_o many_o enemy_n they_o have_v and_o that_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o hold_v of_o they_o in_o awe_n by_o extreme_a force_n and_o violence_n as_o those_o be_v now_o adays_o upon_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v call_v gallie_n slave_n and_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v what_o &_o how_o excessive_a

therefore_o that_o a_o

the_o disobedience_n and_o sin_n of_o our_o father_n adam_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v turn_v topsiteruie_o also_o on_o the_o other_o part_n inasmuch_o as_o servant_n be_v in_o such_o subjection_n it_o

as_o they_o can_v not_o be_v blame_v for_o it_o saint_n paul_n then_o counsel_v master_n too_o assuage_v the_o excess_n of_o their_o superiority_n but_o yet_o will_v he_o have_v their_o servant_n too_o submit_v themselves_o too_o it_o and_o too_o bear_v the_o yoke_n that_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o heavy_a now_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o he_o do_v servant_n wrong_v therein_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v cry_v out_o against_o the_o common_a abuse_n that_o such_o outrage_n may_v have_v be_v lay_v down_o but_o we_o have_v two_o principle_n to_o remember_v to_o restrain_v we_o from_o attempt_v of_o any_o change_n the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o have_v be_v god_n will_v too_o put_v maynkynd_n into_o confusion_n and_o that_o all_o man_n both_o great_a and_o small_a shall_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o adam_n have_v pervert_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n therefore_o s._n paul_n counsel_v servant_n to_o bear_v such_o subjection_n assure_v themselves_o that_o it_o come_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v take_v it_o patient_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n serve_v not_o too_o change_v the_o common_a policy_n of_o the_o world_n and_o too_o make_v law_n that_o belong_v too_o the_o temporal_a state_n it_o be_v true_a that_o king_n prince_n and_o magistrate_n ought_v always_o too_o ask_v counsel_n at_o god_n mouth_n and_o too_o frame_v themselves_o unto_o his_o word_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o liberty_n too_o make_v such_o law_n as_o they_o shall_v perceive_v too_o be_v meet_a and_o convenient_a for_o the_o government_n that_o be_v commit_v unto_o they_o howbeit_o they_o must_v call_v upon_o god_n too_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n and_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o ability_n too_o rule_v of_o themselves_o they_o must_v take_v advice_n and_o counsel_n at_o god_n word_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

behave_v themselves_o one_o toward_o another_o be_v sundry_a thing_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n leave_v slavery_n bondage_n or_o seruiship_n as_o it_o be_v and_o he_o exhort_v servant_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o fear_n and_o tremble_a that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o reverence_n yea_o and_o he_o add_v further_o with_o singleness_n of_o

forward_o in_o execute_v whatsoever_o be_v command_v they_o but_o he_o require_v reverence_n above_o all_o thing_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v servant_n understand_v that_o although_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v enforce_v nor_o chastise_v with_o whip_v when_o they_o do_v amiss_o but_o that_o they_o have_v gentle_a and_o meek_a master_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o ought_v too_o bear_v patient_o the_o state_n wherein_o they_o be_v assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n allow_v of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o superiority_n which_o their_o master_n have_v over_o they_o how_o hard_a and_o grievous_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v nevertheless_o ordain_v and_o establish_v of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n singleness_n for_o we_o be_v over_o witty_a in_o

from_o do_v of_o their_o duty_n now_o he_o set_v down_o purposely_o these_o word_n as_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a foundation_n that_o we_o have_v too_o lean_a unto_o when_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o do_n of_o any_o duty_n towards_o man_n for_o if_o we_o stick_v too_o creature_n we_o will_v say_v come_v we_o not_o all_o out_o of_o the_o ark_n of_o no_o why_o shall_v

offer_v he_o the_o chief_a sacrifice_n which_o he_o allow_v above_o all_o other_o that_o be_v when_o we_o confess_v ourselves_o beholden_a too_o he_o for_o all_o good_a thing_n shall_v we_o mingle_v

will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v common_a unto_o we_o will_v we_o then_o receive_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bring_v we_o and_o will_v we_o by_o his_o mean_n
