we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a confirm_v in_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o note_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n pray_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o own_o

john_n 17._o john_n 17._o he_o be_v sanctify_v that_o we_o may_v be_v sanctify_v in_o he_o and_o this_o may_v also_o be_v a_o very_a good_a conclusion_n for_o us._n that_o he_o pray_v because_o his_o prayer_n be_v available_a and_o strong_a even_o at_o this_o day_n by_o mean_a whereof_o we_o be_v all_o hear_v and_o this_o reason_n we_o be_v high_o to_o esteem_v of_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v ready_a but_o the_o flesh_n weak_a which_o declare_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o have_v all_o need_n of_o that_o remedy_n which_o he_o here_o ordain_v for_o his_o disciple_n for_o many_o think_v that_o if_o they_o be_v never_o so_o little_a well_o dispose_v that_o they_o have_v get_v all_o the_o world_n and_o this_o supposal_n in_o very_a deed_n make_v they_o nothing_o worth_a and_o hereby_o they_o become_v soon_o after_o so_o idle_a and_o cold_a as_o that_o they_o fall_v from_o god_n and_o contemn_v his_o aid_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o god_n many_o time_n withdraw_v himself_o &_o hide_v his_o power_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o when_o man_n trust_v too_o much_o unto_o themselves_o they_o shall_v be_v leave_v to_o their_o own_o will_n that_o god_n may_v scorn_v their_o arrogant_a and_o foolish_a imagination_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n both_o great_a and_o small_a may_v know_v and_o understande_v that_o they_o ought_v not_o light_o to_o pass_v over_o the_o help_n of_o god_n and_o the_o grace_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v of_o he_o he_o must_v therefore_o always_o continue_v and_o increase_v that_o in_o they_o which_o he_o have_v give_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v strong_a it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v ready_a etc._n etc._n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o although_o we_o feel_v some_o

be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o forewarde_v of_o those_o upon_o who_o god_n have_v enlarge_v the_o grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n must_v notwithstanding_o

unto_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v in_o this_o say_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o in_o show_v himself_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n among_o they_o but_o here_o we_o be_v to_o understande_v what_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n luke_n mean_v by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v not_o by_o this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n everlasting_a life_n as_o we_o common_o take_v it_o and_o as_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v here_o be_v take_v as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o that_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o we_o wait_v for_o through_o hope_n but_o saint_n luke_n take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o spiritual_a government_n by_o which_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v we_o in_o his_o

meaning_n of_o s._n luke_n but_o to_o make_v the_o matter_n more_o easy_a and_o plain_a let_v we_o take_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n clean_o contrary_a and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o life_n of_o man_n which_o follow_v their_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o in_o deed_n if_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v go_v from_o we_o and_o let_v we_o go_v whether_o we_o list_v ourselves_o sure_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o &_o clean_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v mean_v a_o reformation_n and_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o misery_n &_o corruption_n in_o this_o world_n to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v wander_a beast_n and_o the_o devil_n rule_v we_o and_o so_o thrall_v we_o even_o as_o it_o please_v himself_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o man_n be_v until_o

have_v a_o great_a mischief_n than_o this_o as_o to_o have_v satan_n so_o to_o possess_v we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o master_n and_o thus_o i_o say_v we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n unto_o we_o even_o to_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o kingdom_n that_o we_o may_v be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o his_o justice_n now_o by_o the_o way_n we_o be_v also_o to_o see_v how_o high_o we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v of_o this_o grace_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n draw_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o lo_o here_o be_v all_o our_o blessedness_n that_o god_n be_v our_o king_n in_o deed_n although_o king_n covet_v to_o have_v kingdom_n to_o increase_v their_o honour_n and_o wealth_n and_o to_o be_v lord_n over_o nation_n without_o any_o regard_n to_o a_o better_a end_n yet_o if_o any_o prince_n be_v endue_v with_o excellent_a grace_n every_o man_n will_v think_v himself_o bless_v that_o be_v his_o subject_n but_o when_o jesus_n christ_n reign_v over_o we_o we_o have_v a_o king_n that_o be_v not_o only_o endue_v with_o many_o excellent_a grace_n but_o also_o who_o reign_v over_o we_o for_o our_o benefit_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n he_o be_v no_o whit_n better_v by_o we_o for_o we_o can_v no_o more_o increase_n than_o we_o can_v diminish_v 16.2_o psal_n 16.2_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o be_v bless_v when_o as_o god_n set_v up_o his_o kingly_a throne_n among_o we_o to_o reign_v over_o us._n here_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o wit_n to_o esteem_v and_o make_v much_o of_o such_o a_o benefit_n when_o god_n bestow_v it_o upon_o we_o now_o the_o mean_a come_v by_o the_o gospel_n we_o also_o see_v why_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v so_o oftentimes_o of_o the_o gospel_n 13.24.31.33.44.45_o mat._n 13.24.31.33.44.45_o call_v it_o the_o

we_o be_v reform_v which_o thing_n the_o gospel_n work_v by_o call_v we_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v regenerate_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n since_o than_o it_o be_v so_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v like_a unto_o jesus_n christ_n &_o forsake_v whatsoever_o be_v in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n without_o good_a cause_n and_o in_o deed_n as_o without_o it_o the_o devil_n reign_v and_o by_o reason_n thereof_o be_v call_v the_o king_n of_o this_o world_n even_o so_o when_o jesus_n christ_n cause_v his_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v in_o any_o country_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v reign_v over_o you_o and_o be_v your_o king_n but_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o dwell_v in_o that_o country_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v do_v obey_v god_n for_o we_o see_v some_o of_o they_o lift_v themselves_o up_o and_o show_v forth_o their_o iniquity_n which_o before_o lie_v hide_v in_o they_o and_o othersome_a contemn_v the_o doctrine_n in_o who_o be_v no_o fruit_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o christ_n jesus_n have_v always_o a_o little_a congregation_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o how_o so_o forsooth_o because_o there_o be_v no_o king_n but_o have_v subject_n nevertheless_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o inestimable_a benefit_n when_o god_n offer_v we_o his_o gospel_n for_o what_o will_v we_o more_o than_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o us._n loe_o here_o i_o be_o and_o take_v charge_n of_o you_o to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v be_v under_o my_o wing_n and_o protection_n now_o what_o can_v you_o desire_v more_o we_o know_v then_o that_o all_o this_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n if_o we_o can_v right_o understand_v it_o moreover_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o kingdom_n and_o take_v we_o unto_o himself_o it_o be_v because_o he_o will_v clothe_v we_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o with_o immortality_n &_o incorruption_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enter_v into_o his_o promise_a glory_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o receive_v this_o gospel_n we_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o what_o this_o be_v only_o but_o a_o entrance_n howbeit_o we_o must_v go_v on_o a_o great_a deal_n further_o into_o

and_o terrify_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o mankind_n that_o we_o may_v worship_v god_n with_o one_o accord_n and_o be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o but_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v be_v waken_v

by_o the_o effect_n and_o when_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o call_v we_o unto_o himself_o we_o must_v leave_v of_o all_o kind_n of_o questine_a and_o full_o resolve_v ourselves_o to_o obey_v his_o majesty_n unchangeable_a decree_n and_o ordenaunce_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o pray_v all_o his_o life_n long_o yea_o &_o before_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o mighty_a combat_n which_o he_o abide_v he_o beseech_v his_o heavenly_a father_n that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o that_o cup_n may_v pass_v over_o he_o but_o

set_v down_o the_o same_z i_o say_v be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o he_o absteyn_v from_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o contrary_a and_o therefore_o he_o will_v not_o that_o either_o angel_n or_o yet_o man_n shall_v help_v he_o nor_o yet_o to_o have_v god_n his_o father_n cause_v he_o to_o feel_v his_o power_n for_o his_o deliverance_n from_o death_n but_o it_o suffice_v he_o that_o he_o have_v this_o spirit_n of_o constancy_n willing_o to_o go_v to_o do_v his_o office_n loe_o here_o the_o full_a content_n and_o meaning_n hereof_o we_o now_o see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n must_v so_o stay_v and_o bridle_v we_o as_o that_o when_o we_o think_v thing_n to_o be_v far_o unlike_a and_o against_o all_o reason_n to_o esteem_v more_o of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n then_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o our_o fond_a and_o vain_a brain_n can_v comprehend_v wherefore_o we_o must_v throw_v our_o imagination_n clean_o under_o the_o foot_n when_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n have_v otherwise_o provide_v and_o this_o be_v one_o piece_n of_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o faith_n when_o we_o think_v god_n to_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o that_o he_o have_v power_n &_o authority_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o please_v he_o and_o although_o we_o can_v make_v reason_n to_o the_o contrary_n let_v we_o well_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v but_o smoke_n &_o vanity_n &_o that_o god_n know_v all_o thing_n &_o from_o who_o no_o secret_n be_v hide_v yea_o and_o his_o will_n to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o beside_o whatsoever_o our_o mind_n say_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o gross_a understanding_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o scarce_o have_v we_o three_o dam_n of_o wit_n it_o be_v there_o before_o no_o marvel_n though_o man_n grow_v wild_a and_o savage_a when_o god_n rule_v they_o not_o as_o they_o will_v themselves_o and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o because_o we_o be_v very_a ydiot_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n so_o long_o as_o our_o wit_n and_o reason_n bear_v any_o rule_n it_o be_v even_o very_a beastly_a wherefore_o because_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n of_o god_n judgement_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o honour_n that_o which_o be_v keep_v secret_a from_o we_o let_v we_o i_o say_v humble_o &_o reverent_o

be_v to_o say_v god_n leave_v not_o to_o accomplish_v that_o which_o he_o have_v ordain_v by_o his_o council_n when_o he_o raise_v up_o his_o only_a son_n and_o have_v advance_v he_o agreat_a deal_n more_o than_o he_o be_v before_o abase_v 2.10_o phil._n 2.10_o for_o every_o knee_n must_v bow_v to_o he_o now_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o priest_n go_v about_o to_o seek_v false_a witness_n against_o he_o they_o do_v it_o not_o simple_o to_o forge_v or_o feinge_v a_o fault_n against_o he_o but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v some_o colour_n and_o cloak_n to_o vex_v and_o grieve_v our_o

the_o meaning_n of_o the_o speaker_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a instruction_n for_o we_o because_o we_o be_v so_o great_o give_v to_o wickedness_n and_o lease_n that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o colour_n it_o be_v enough_o and_o do_v think_v that_o god_n have_v pardon_v we_o when_o we_o have_v by_o any_o such_o false_a mean_n charge_v any_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o stay_v simple_o upon_o word_n neither_o yet_o upon_o the_o manner_n &_o fashion_n of_o they_o but_o look_v to_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o cause_n for_o they_o which_o may_v at_o all_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o cayphas_n say_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n what_o be_v the_o matter_n answer_v thou_o nothing_o see_v thou_o not_o that_o these_o man_n witness_v against_o thou_o and_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n all_o this_o while_n hold_v his_o peace_n &_o put_v up_o all_o these_o revile_v and_o slanderous_a word_n now_o it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o strange_a thing_n the_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v very_o just_a occasion_n to_o disprove_v such_o a_o false_a testimony_n do_v not_o once_o gain_v say_v it_o howbeit_o as_o i_o have_v before_o say_v and_o as_o hereafter_o shall_v more_o at_o large_a appear_v jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o they_o to_o defend_v his_o doctrine_n as_o before_o he_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v wise_o to_o distinguish_v of_o all_o the_o circumstance_n for_o after_o jesus_n christ_n have_v fast_v in_o the_o wilderness_n god_n his_o father_n send_v he_o to_o puplish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o we_o see_v that_o all_o that_o time_n he_o always_o mighty_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n whereof_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n and_o we_o see_v also_o how_o he_o set_v himfelfe_n against_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o he_o discharge_v his_o duty_n because_o he_o be_v appoint_v and_o send_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n but_o here_o be_v one_o special_a regard_n to_o be_v have_v and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o he_o must_v be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v condemn_v not_o because_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v throw_v down_o into_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n &_o suffer_v for_o our_o cause_n by_o reason_n he_o bear_v as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o own_o person_n all_o the_o curse_n and_o transgression_n of_o those_o who_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n wherefore_o because_o jesus_n christ_n take_v upon_o he_o this_o office_n to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o all_o such_o as_o have_v deadly_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o when_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o jesus_n christ_n to_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o it_o so_o stand_v with_o his_o office_n &_o calling_n he_o faithful_o discharge_v the_o same_o but_o when_o in_o hold_v his_o peace_n he_o play_v the_o part_n of_o a_o redeemer_n as_o though_o he_o be_v content_v willing_o to_o be_v conden_v it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o own_o cause_n that_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v for_o our_o

fury_n of_o the_o ungodly_a against_o himself_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o meaning_n to_o escape_v death_n but_o be_v content_v willing_o to_o be_v overthrow_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v declare_v that_o he_o have_v quite_o forget_v himself_o to_o discharge_v we_o before_o god_n his_o father_n now_o he_o neither_o respect_v himself_o his_o own_o life_n nor_o yet_o his_o honour_n for_o he_o care_v not_o to_o abide_v all_o the_o shame_n and_o slander_v of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o pardon_v of_o our_o condemnation_n and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n charge_v he_o by_o the_o live_a god_n to_o tell_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v christ_n the_o bless_a son_n of_o god_n he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v so_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v see_v his_o majesty_n when_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o for_o they_o because_o such_o their_o deal_n shall_v be_v their_o destruction_n and_o overthrow_n now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v not_o this_o here_o to_o make_v the_o high_a priest_n and_o his_o company_n to_o yield_v gentle_o but_o rather_o to_o prick_v he_o fast_o

see_v here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o contemner_n of_o god_n and_o such_o as_o satan_n have_v altogether_o possess_v will_v use_v some_o colour_a kind_n of_o religion_n for_o a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v his_o duty_n in_o charge_v jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o live_a god_n but_o see_v into_o what_o a_o mischief_n we_o be_v plunge_v when_o satan_n have_v once_o blindfould_v our_o eye_n for_o he_o than_o throw_v we_o headlong_o into_o such_o shamlesnesse_n as_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o reverence_n unto_o god_n than_o we_o be_v ashamed_a before_o man_n now_o this_o answer_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n give_v we_o to_o note_v that_o he_o mean_v to_o declare_v to_o cayphas_n and_o the_o rest_n that_o although_o he_o be_v for_o a_o time_n as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v abase_v yet_o will_v not_o that_o lessen_v his_o majesty_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v always_o take_v to_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n far_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o which_o be_v for_o our_o better_a confirmation_n that_o although_o he_o be_v thus_o abase_v for_o our_o salvation_n he_o lose_v no_o

hereupon_o the_o evangelist_n tell_v that_o there_o be_v a_o vessel_n full_a of_o vinegar_n yea_o as_o before_o have_v be_v say_v mingle_v with_o gall_n and_o that_o one_o take_v a_o réed_n or_o as_o

and_o therefore_o let_v we_o look_v for_o none_o other_o sacrifice_n but_o he_o in_o very_a deed_n this_o abominable_a divelishe_a mass_n be_v call_v in_o popery_n a_o daily_a sacrifice_n &_o they_o say_v 21._o psal_n 110.4_o heb._n 7._o 21._o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v once_o for_o all_o offer_v for_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o obtain_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n yet_o nevertheless_o that_o he_o must_v be_v daily_o offer_v up_o which_o be_v manifest_a blasphemy_n because_o they_o false_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o office_n which_o be_v appoint_v to_o our_o lord_n

the_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o that_o he_o have_v draw_v we_o out_o of_o such_o a_o bottomless_a depth_n that_o when_o we_o think_v to_o have_v come_v near_o he_o we_o set_v ourselves_o open_o

to_o correct_v his_o disciple_n whenas_o he_o send_v woman_n to_o teach_v they_o because_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o serve_v they_o to_o no_o purpose_n when_o it_o come_v

they_o will_v have_v other_o to_o settle_v themselves_o and_o trust_v upon_o such_o profanation_n moreover_o forsomuch_o as_o there_o be_v in_o popery_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n hypocrite_n they_o

thus_o content_v but_o say_v that_o every_o man_n be_v decline_v from_o his_o way_n but_o why_o repeat_v he_o the_o say_n of_o all_o to_o
not_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o effectual_a nor_o yet_o profit_v we_o so_o much_o as_o be_v expedient_a because_o the_o death_n whereunto_o we_o

purchase_v for_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o also_o know_v what_o need_n we_o have_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o that_o god_n make_v we_o always_o to_o feel_v his_o wrath_n for_o although_o we_o be_v altogether_o exempt_a thereof_o yet_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v still_o of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v groan_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o magnify_v

when_o as_o we_o bring_v jesus_n christ_n with_o we_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o us._n and_o therefore_o death_n have_v not_o take_v such_o fearful_a hold_n on_o we_o

feel_v of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o judge_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n now_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o this_o be_v any_o whit_n derogatory_n from_o his_o

because_o jesus_n christ_n abase_v and_o humble_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o be_v not_o rob_v of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n yet_o lie_v it_o hyd_fw-we for_o a_o time_n and_o be_v never_o perceive_v by_o any_o man_n and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n that_o which_o the_o prophet_n here_o handle_v as_o concern_v the_o pain_n and_o grief_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n now_o we_o see_v herein_o that_o he_o forget_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v and_o never_o care_v for_o himself_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v altogether_o give_v to_o save_v we_o and_o so_o answer_v for_o we_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o be_v our_o only_a pledge_n and_o in_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o very_a cur_n who_o will_v at_o this_o day_n abolish_v this_o doctrine_n have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o but_o bark_n at_o it_o like_o mastiff_n they_o know_v not_o why_o nor_o wherefore_o and_o although_o our_o popish_a hypocrite_n who_o

be_v not_o only_o condemn_v of_o pilot_n be_v a_o earthly_a judge_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v pardon_v before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o not_o only_o crucify_v that_o we_o may_v be_v

also_o meet_a that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o immaculate_a lamb_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o a_o wretched_a malefactor_n and_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o mirror_n &_o pattern_n of_o

instruction_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v carry_v such_o a_o faithful_a message_n as_o that_o we_o may_v take_v no_o occasion_n to_o doubt_v thereof_o and_o therefore_o when_o as_o we_o at_o this_o day_n hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v we_o ought_v to_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v the_o charge_n which_o god_n commit_v unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o thing_n which_o come_v from_o himself_o as_o indeed_o it_o do_v moreover_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v bear_v great_a reverence_n unto_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v not_o say_v only_o that_o jesus_n christ_n deliver_v it_o but_o that_o it_o be_v also_o do_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o very_a natural_a son_n of_o god_n even_o so_o likewise_o be_v he_o man_n and_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o our_o flesh_n and_o nature_n now_o under_o this_o shadow_n as_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o the_o world_n be_v wicked_a a_o man_n may_v under_o a_o colour_n take_v occasion_n to_o contemn_v this_o doctrine_n or_o else_o not_o make_v so_o great_a a_o account_n of_o it_o here_o than_o we_o see_v that_o saint_n luke_n say_v that_o the_o charge_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o teach_v proceed_v not_o from_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o but_o from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n also_o wherefore_o we_o at_o this_o present_a see_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v heavenly_a and_o not_o earthly_a and_o ratify_v by_o god_n himself_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v also_o observe_v that_o the_o sum_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v comprehend_v in_o these_o few_o word_n to_o wit_n that_o jesus_n christ_n both_o teach_v and_o make_v it_o so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v bear_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n we_o must_v be_v teach_v that_o doctrine_n which_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v we_o and_o beside_o be_v also_o eftsoon_o confirm_v therein_o for_o he_o have_v not_o only_o speak_v but_o have_v likewise_o accomplish_v whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n moreover_o because_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n be_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o most_o principal_a point_n we_o have_v therefore_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o order_n as_o it_o follow_v s._n luke_n then_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n after_o he_o have_v suffer_v show_v himself_o alive_a unto_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o by_o many_o manifest_a proof_n which_o be_v not_o without_o good_a cause_n for_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n speak_v on_o our_o faith_n will_v still_o hang_v in_o suspense_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n which_o can_v never_o be_v without_o the_o gage_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o jesus_n christ_n suffer_v for_o our_o redemption_n &_o bear_v the_o punishment_n due_a for_o our_o sin_n thus_o here_o we_o see_v that_o saint_n luke_n speak_v not_o in_o vain_a of_o the_o proof_n which_o be_v give_v to_o assure_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v again_o 15.14_o 1._o cor._n 15.14_o for_o harken_v what_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v our_o faith_n be_v in_o vain_a and_o our_o preach_v also_o in_o vain_a we_o have_v no_o more_o hope_n then_o very_a beast_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o our_o hope_n be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n indeed_o which_o he_o have_v get_v yea_o even_o to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o life_n and_o death_n 4.15_o rom._n 4.15_o saint_n paul_n also_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o if_o he_o have_v remain_v dead_a still_o what_o hope_n may_v we_o have_v have_v by_o he_o but_o behold_v he_o rise_v again_o &_o that_o be_v the_o triumph_n which_o he_o have_v over_o death_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v believe_v in_o he_o saint_n peter_n likewise_o to_o show_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 3.21_o 1._o peter_n 3.21_o bring_v for_o

of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o principal_a point_n of_o christianity_n we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o resurrection_n by_o which_o he_o purchase_v for_o we_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n moreover_o let_v we_o also_o learn_v that_o since_o saint_n luke_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v we_o such_o proof_n of_o his_o resurrection_n let_v we_o not_o call_v that_o thing_n into_o question_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v so_o well_o approve_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v not_o at_o this_o day_n full_o persuade_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v again_o let_v we_o thank_v our_o own_o unthankfulness_n saint_n luke_n also_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o speech_n which_o a_o fourd_v a_o argument_n that_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o present_a proof_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v what_o pain_n the_o evangelist_n have_v take_v in_o this_o matter_n for_o when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n they_o lay_v forth_o all_o the_o circumstance_n and_o beside_o they_o recyte_v all_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o word_n for_o he_o have_v say_v and_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v no_o vain_a imagination_n or_o vision_n whereby_o some_o trouble_n may_v afterward_o arise_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o

in_o doubt_n to_o be_v draw_v this_o way_n and_o that_o we_o must_v altogether_o endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o our_o conscience_n and_o then_o be_v jesus_n christ_n our_o

of_o the_o ascension_n act_n first_o 9_o and_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v these_o thing_n while_o they_o behold_v he_o be_v take_v up_o a_o high_a and_o a_o cloud_n receive_v he_o up_o out_o of_o

of_o galilee_n why_o stand_v you_o gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n this_o same_o jesus_n which_o be_v take_v up_o from_o you_o into_o heaven_n shall_v so_o come_v even_o as_o you_o have_v see_v he_o go_v into_o heaven_n now_o we_o have_v at_o this_o time_n to_o handle_v the_o matter_n which_o s._n luke_n here_o set_v down_o of_o the_o apostle_n behold_v of_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n into_o heaven_n now_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o know_v the_o history_n but_o we_o be_v also_o to_o note_v that_o he_o set_v down_o this_o as_o a_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o sure_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o only_o profitable_a but_o also_o necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n howbeit_o we_o shall_v never_o profit_v ourselves_o great_o by_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n without_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n and_o therefore_o saint_n luke_n say_v that_o the_o apostle_n see_v he_o ascend_v and_o say_v beside_o that_o they_o abide_v still_o gaze_v there_o until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v tell_v that_o they_o must_v tarry_v no_o long_o but_o return_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o do_v their_o office_n as_o be_v command_v they_o until_o the_o judgement_n day_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o he_o say_v of_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v not_o be_v call_v again_o into_o question_n very_o true_a it_o be_v that_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v which_o have_v beléeve_v and_o not_o see_v wherefore_o we_o must_v believe_v this_o ascension_n rather_o than_o if_o we_o have_v see_v it_o for_o since_o the_o apostle_n see_v it_o 20.29_o john_n 20.29_o and_o tell_v we_o of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o any_o whit_n to_o doubt_v thereof_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o word_n of_o s._n luke_n that_o a_o cloud_n receive_v he_o up_o out_o of_o their_o sight_n now_o here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o heaven_n open_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n may_v have_v see_v the_o glorious_a estate_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o they_o shall_v loose_v the_o sight_n of_o he_o by_o mean_a of_o a_o cloud_n because_o our_o lord_n know_v well_o enough_o our_o condition_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o correct_v of_o our_o high_a mind_n it_o be_v good_a we_o shall_v be_v restrain_v yea_o very_o for_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v see_v into_o heaven_n we_o will_v have_v take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o have_v grow_v haughty_a as_o we_o see_v in_o deed_n we_o be_v thereto_o overmuch_o give_v for_o we_o be_v too_o too_o mad_a head_a and_o without_o modesty_n to_o desire_v to_o understand_v even_o those_o secret_n of_o god_n which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o know_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o this_o cloud_n shall_v be_v between_o they_o and_o he_o by_o this_o than_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o we_o must_v be_v humble_v and_o not_o be_v so_o arrogant_a as_o to_o ascend_v up_o into_o the_o heaven_n to_o search_v after_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o instruction_n be_v we_o to_o learn_v by_o this_o place_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o appear_v two_o angel_n but_o saint_n luke_n call_v they_o man_n according_a to_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o because_o angel_n be_v natural_o spiritual_a we_o can_v see_v they_o except_o they_o show_v themselves_o in_o some_o visible_a shape_n we_o see_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o our_o lord_n will_v from_o the_o beginning_n have_v they_o appear_v in_o man_n shape_n howbeit_o he_o leave_v always_o some_o token_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v angel_n for_o if_o we_o understand_v they_o to_o be_v only_o as_o mortal_a man_n we_o will_v never_o do_v they_o that_o honour_n which_o unto_o they_o appertein_v which_o will_v derogate_v from_o the_o give_a credit_n unto_o their_o message_n and_o therefore_o god_n always_o set_v a_o mark_n on_o they_o that_o we_o may_v know_v they_o for_o behold_v why_o it_o be_v here_o say_v 20.12_o john_n 20.12_o that_o they_o be_v clad_v in_o white_a apparel_n and_o in_o the_o resurrection_n also_o of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o appear_v in_o white_a garment_n herein_o than_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v to_o declare_v that_o we_o shall_v reverent_o receive_v they_o and_o undoubted_o credit_n their_o message_n thus_o i_o say_v we_o see_v why_o s._n luke_n here_o say_v that_o they_o be_v apparel_v in_o white_a garment_n now_o we_o be_v here_o to_o note_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o matter_n for_o god_n will_v not_o have_v any_o one_o of_o they_o to_o be_v lose_v nor_o yet_o overslipt_v such_o be_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n over_o all_o the_o world_n if_o the_o angel_n then_o have_v such_o a_o majesty_n in_o their_o appearance_n unto_o we_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o glorious_a appear_v of_o our_o good_a god_n for_o the_o brightness_n of_o god_n his_o glorious_a majesty_n be_v not_o only_o as_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o far_o excel_v the_o brightness_n of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o sun_n if_o they_o shoane_v here_o all_o at_o once_o in_o the_o world_n so_o then_o whenas_o we_o see_v that_o the_o angel_n shall_v be_v so_o precious_a unto_o we_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o wonderful_o reverence_v they_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o yea_o even_o the_o very_a think_v of_o he_o shall_v cause_v we_o marvellous_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v no_o body_n in_o respect_n of_o he_o who_o be_v majesty_n itself_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o speak_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o angel_n although_o they_o appear_v but_o in_o man_n shape_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o their_o speech_n you_o man_n of_o galilee_n say_v they_o why_o stand_v you_o gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n it_o be_v common_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v here_o call_v galilean_n by_o way_n of_o reproach_n for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o galilean_n be_v of_o no_o great_a estimation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n that_o go_v of_o they_o as_o if_o the_o angel_n shall_v have_v say_v o_o you_o miserable_a blockhead_n know_v you_o not_o that_o as_o he_o be_v ascend_v up_o

that_o the_o angel_n call_v the_o apostle_n galilean_n because_o they_o be_v take_v to_o be_v such_o &_o jesus_n christ_n be_v also_o so_o call_v and_o when_o the_o disciple_n shall_v have_v be_v

that_o although_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o all_o flesh_n yet_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v not_o receive_v he_o because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a many_o be_v bereave_v thereof_o nevertheless_o god_n call_v we_o all_o but_o we_o unthankeful_o and_o wicked_o withstand_v he_o and_o this_o be_v always_o a_o true_a say_n that_o none_o come_v to_o he_o but_o such_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n draw_v by_o this_o also_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o humble_o hold_v we_o there_o we_o shall_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o abundant_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o communicate_v they_o unto_o our_o neighbour_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o all_o in_o general_a howbeit_o it_o be_v very_o far_o of_o that_o all_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o because_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v offer_v us._n and_o how_o so_o forsooth_o by_o reason_n we_o make_v ourselves_o not_o worthy_a thereof_o always_o desire_v rather_o to_o give_v ourselves_o unto_o our_o vanity_n then_o unto_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n wherefore_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o many_o receive_v not_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v offer_v they_o although_o they_o be_v all_o call_v here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o prophet_n than_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n in_o very_a deed_n the_o prophet_n his_o meaning_n be_v to_o use_v this_o general_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o show_v that_o god_n will_v bring_v some_o of_o all_o estate_n and_o age_n to_o know_v he_o and_o also_o because_o he_o make_v now_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v every_o where_n we_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v even_o the_o very_a first_o among_o all_o other_o nation_n who_o know_v the_o true_a god_n and_o although_o the_o beléeve_a jew_n be_v few_o in_o number_n yet_o be_v the_o holy_a gâ—st_n offer_v unto_o they_o all_o in_o like_a case_n be_v the_o gentile_n also_o instruct_v by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n thus_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v no_o wonder_n in_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n now_o the_o doctrine_n which_o at_o the_o beginning_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n come_v first_o of_o all_o to_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_n of_o ezechiel_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o river_n shall_v overflowe_v even_o unto_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n wherein_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n have_v never_o be_v spread_v abroad_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o be_v send_v unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v disperse_v their_o doctrine_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o right_o consider_v how_o god_n by_o his_o incomprehensible_a wisdom_n have_v wonderful_o wrought_v to_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v publish_v for_o although_o jesus_n christ_n have_v very_o sufficient_o instruct_v the_o apostle_n yet_o be_v they_o but_o gross_a head_a until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o after_o they_o have_v receive_v he_o see_v how_o they_o become_v of_o simple_a soul_n such_o great_a and_o learned_a clerk_n as_o that_o they_o understand_v the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n the_o want_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o prophet_n joel_n say_v that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n moreover_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v here_o in_o this_o place_n this_o say_n that_o the_o old_a man_n and_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o both_o old_a and_o young_a shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o now_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o gloze_n to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o speech_n all_o flesh_n because_o the_o very_a text_n sufficient_o show_v his_o meaning_n now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v he_o speak_v then_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o time_n in_o those_o day_n because_o god_n use_v these_o two_o kind_n of_o mean_n with_o his_o servant_n either_o in_o vision_n or_o else_o in_o dream_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 12.6_o num._n 12.6_o that_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o unto_o his_o prophet_n by_o vision_n &_o speak_v unto_o they_o in_o dream_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v with_o his_o servant_n moses_n mouth_n to_o mouth_n howbeit_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o like_a &_o that_o although_o god_n manifest_v himself_o unto_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n yet_o will_v he_o not_o show_v himself_o unto_o we_o after_o that_o sort_n to_o answer_v this_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o although_o the_o prophet_n
in_o such_o sort_n neither_o but_o that_o he_o always_o have_v a_o great_a prerogative_n over_o his_o child_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n he_o shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n the_o glory_n which_o he_o communicate_v with_o we_o be_v not_o derogatory_n from_o he_o neither_o yet_o be_v it_o thereby_o make_v any_o whit_n less_o howbeit_o we_o must_v be_v transform_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o the_o phillippian_o 3.21_o phil._n 3.21_o and_o where_o we_o be_v now_o so_o full_a of_o infirmity_n as_o be_v lamentable_a it_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o that_o our_o life_n must_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o the_o heavenly_a life_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o that_o manner_n he_o namely_o have_v regard_n unto_o the_o state_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o we_o be_v note_v point_a at_o with_o the_o finger_n and_o our_o tongue_n pull_v out_o we_o see_v how_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a make_v a_o jest_n at_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v be_v make_v thus_o contemptible_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v learn_v to_o look_v for_o no_o glory_n here_o in_o this_o world_n howbeit_o god_n will_v when_o it_o please_v he_o have_v we_o exalt_v above_o they_o all_o but_o his_o meaning_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v such_o slander_n and_o reproach_n that_o we_o may_v look_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o seek_v for_o our_o triumph_n and_o victory_n there_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o we_o to_o be_v glorify_v and_o make_v much_o of_o here_o in_o this_o life_n and_o to_o have_v god_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o be_v dishonour_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o wicked_a with_o open_a mouth_n make_v a_o scorn_n of_o god_n and_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o they_o which_o will_v not_o spit_v in_o his_o majesty_n face_n and_o will_v we_o then_o be_v honour_v by_o they_o sure_o if_o we_o shall_v desire_v it_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v too_o too_o faint_a heart_a wherefore_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_v that_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o faithful_a be_v at_o this_o present_a contemn_v and_o naught_o set_v by_o and_o that_o some_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_n and_o other_o some_o oppress_v they_o so_o that_o their_o flesh_n be_v eat_v to_o the_o bone_n and_o tread_v clean_o under_o foot_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v we_o back_o unto_o the_o latter_a day_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v at_o that_o time_n appear_v wonderful_a even_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o which_o cause_n let_v not_o we_o fear_v but_o that_o the_o glory_n which_o he_o will_v give_v we_o shall_v so_o terrify_v our_o enemy_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v our_o footstool_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o scripture_n howbéet_fw-mi saint_n paul_n here_o namely_o set_v down_o who_o they_o be_v that_o must_v look_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 110._o psal_n 110._o and_o he_o declare_v the_o fruit_n of_o all_o those_o that_o have_v beléeve_v in_o these_o word_n saint_n for_o he_o show_v that_o they_o which_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o pollution_n &_o corruption_n of_o this_o world_n must_v not_o look_v to_o have_v any_o part_n or_o portion_n in_o this_o inheritance_n nor_o yet_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o in_o this_o say_n they_o which_o have_v believe_v he_o show_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o very_a right_a springhead_n and_o beginning_n of_o all_o holiness_n three_o he_o show_v that_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v pure_a and_o right_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n we_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o his_o come_n but_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o of_o health_n and_o joy_n for_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a number_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a throat_n say_v what_o i_o beseech_v you_o good_a sir_n think_v you_o that_o we_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o the_o rest_n thus_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o swine_n and_o examine_v their_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o altogether_o disloyal_a and_o faithless_a like_o fox_n full_a of_o treason_n perjury_n cruelty_n and_o bitterness_n unto_o their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o loser_n they_o will_v keep_v open_a shop_n to_o take_v of_o all_o hand_n insomuch_o that_o they_o will_v not_o only_o sell_v their_o faith_n and_o credit_n but_o their_o honour_n and_o honesty_n also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a contemptuous_a person_n and_o yet_o forsooth_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o brag_v that_o they_o be_v the_o frowarde_a man_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o god_n will_v help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a and_o a_o most_o fearful_a day_n to_o you_o and_o so_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_n we_o have_v to_o note_v out_o of_o this_o place_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n available_a to_o we_o and_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o

the_o first_o point_n but_o to_o the_o attain_n hereof_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v late_o say_v for_o to_o say_v true_o

faith_n and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n to_o show_v that_o whatsoever_o glorious_a show_n we_o make_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v corrupt_a and_o stink_a before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n cleanse_v we_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o for_o the_o three_o point_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a

clean_o forget_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v so_o oftentimes_o manifest_v unto_o they_o now_o this_o their_o ignorance_n shall_v serve_v we_o for_o a_o good_a advertisement_n for_o this_o be_v not_o

by_o the_o ascend_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o as_o touch_v this_o say_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v even_o as_o they_o have_v see_v he_o go_v up_o into_o heaven_n that_o declare_v that_o we_o must_v not_o looâ—e_v for_o he_o here_o below_o but_o when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v seek_v for_o he_o now_o we_o must_v do_v it_o by_o faith_n which_o surpass_v all_o man_n understanding_n this_o then_o be_v the_o first_o point_n of_o this_o place_n that_o be_v worthy_a the_o observation_n for_o since_o we_o natural_o have_v our_o mind_n settle_v here_o below_o it_o will_v go_v very_o hardly_o with_o we_o if_o we_o superstitious_o bend_v not_o ourselves_o whenas_o we_o shall_v hear_v the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v of_o and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v already_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o although_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o that_o it_o be_v write_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v down_o here_o below_o even_o as_o he_o be_v see_v to_o ascend_v yet_o be_v there_o great_a number_n of_o such_o as_o call_v themselves_o christian_n who_o have_v not_o cease_v look_v for_o he_o here_o on_o earth_n so_o that_o it_o have_v come_v thus_o to_o pass_v that_o they_o seek_v for_o jesus_n christ_n in_o bread_n and_o wine_n close_v he_o up_o in_o a_o pipe_n carry_v he_o hither_o &_o thither_o and_o play_v with_o he_o as_o they_o will_v play_v with_o a_o puppet_n and_o from_o whence_o come_v these_o superstition_n but_o because_o our_o nature_n be_v like_o a_o sâ—one_n here_o on_o earth_n now_o when_o i_o say_v that_o we_o be_v give_v to_o be_v altogether_o earthly_a mind_v it_o be_v because_o we_o will_v eftsoon_o draw_v god_n and_o whatsoever_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o he_o to_o we_o and_o make_v he_o like_a unto_o ourselves_o we_o see_v then_o by_o experience_n that_o we_o will_v have_v jesus_n christ_n continual_o in_o the_o flesh_n with_o we_o but_o we_o see_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o the_o angel_n will_v put_v we_o beside_o such_o speculation_n for_o they_o say_v you_o man_n of_o galilée_n why_o stand_v you_o gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n in_o very_a deed_n if_o we_o will_v seek_v for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n we_o must_v lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o heaven_n but_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v for_o he_o after_o our_o own_o mind_n and_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o faith_n must_v at_o this_o present_a bear_n rule_v over_o us._n for_o do_v not_o we_o know_v that_o faith_n surmount_v all_o man_n reason_n neither_o have_v we_o such_o a_o benefit_n by_o inheritance_n but_o it_o be_v a_o grace_n give_v we_o of_o god_n to_o amend_v our_o nature_n we_o must_v then_o seek_v for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o not_o with_o our_o eye_n ear_n foot_n nor_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o must_v supply_v all_o our_o want_n even_o so_o whenas_o we_o shall_v have_v right_o understand_v this_o place_n we_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o fence_v against_o all_o popish_a fantasy_n where_o they_o say_v by_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n behold_v here_o be_v god_n &_o think_v he_o may_v be_v close_v up_o like_o a_o

because_o we_o have_v be_v continual_o infect_v with_o this_o vice_n we_o ought_v the_o more_o wise_o to_o beware_v of_o this_o point_n 32._o exod._n 32._o we_o see_v that_o the_o jew_n say_v unto_o

consider_v of_o this_o place_n that_o we_o may_v be_v arm_v against_o this_o vice_n for_o although_o jesus_n christ_n have_v show_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o be_v our_o brother_n yet_o can_v we_o

he_o be_v ascend_v into_o this_o heavenly_a glory_n let_v we_o mark_v why_o he_o be_v there_o let_v we_o in_o the_o first_o place_n remember_v we_o of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n make_v with_o man_n hand_n 9.24_o heb._n 9.24_o but_o that_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o thereupon_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o unto_o god_n his_o

and_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o our_o prayer_n come_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o they_o be_v hear_v even_o as_o though_o we_o ourselves_o be_v privileged_a to_o speak_v our_o mind_n and_o pour_v out_o

for_o all_o man_n even_o so_o since_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v be_v certain_a and_o sure_a that_o he_o make_v intercession_n for_o us._n for_o when_o the_o high_a priest_n enter_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n he_o have_v upon_o his_o head_n the_o name_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o before_o he_o he_o have_v twelve_o stone_n which_o signify_v the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n which_o declare_v that_o although_o he_o go_v in_o alone_a yet_o he_o do_v it_o for_o all_o the_o rest_n since_o than_o jesus_n christ_n be_v enter_v into_o heaven_n and_o bear_v we_o
