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

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

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

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

and_o why_o for_o sith_o we_o can_v have_v neither_o life_n nor_o soul_n health_n nor_o righteousness_n nor_o ought_v else_o that_o be_v allowable_a but_o in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o utter_a naughtiness_n and_o destruction_n in_o ourselves_o he_o add_v thereunto_o the_o common_a weal_n of_o israel_n show_v thereby_o that_o all_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v too_o the_o jew_n be_v ground_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o belong_v not_o too_o his_o body_n be_v forthwith_o deprive_v of_o all_o god_n promise_n and_o can_v conceive_v any_o hope_n of_o life_n but_o only_o by_o imagination_n wherein_o they_o beguile_v themselves_o and_o very_o he_o add_v the_o
instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o

still_o at_o this_o day_n ought_v too_o beat_v down_o all_o pride_n and_o presumption_n that_o god_n grace_n may_v shine_v the_o bright_a upon_o we_o now_o then_o as_o i_o say_v although_o we_o be_v

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o uprightness_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o mutual_a care_n one_o of_o another_o and_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v no_o serve_v of_o god_n if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o by_o all_o the_o mean_n we_o can_v that_o other_o may_v do_v the_o like_a and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a

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

our_o heart_n too_o show_v that_o we_o be_v he_o for_o be_v once_o baptize_v with_o water_n we_o do_v all_o hair_n jesus_n christ_n according_a as_o it_o show_v we_o by_o that_o visible_a sign_n and_o

for_o that_o he_o be_v above_o all_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o mean_v whereby_o god_n link_v we_o one_o with_o another_o be_v his_o cast_n of_o his_o beam_n as_o it_o be_v sun_n beam_n from_o

that_o god_n receive_v that_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o nor_o too_o his_o own_o use_n for_o we_o know_v he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o his_o receive_n be_v too_o enrich_v his_o

13._o there_o therefore_o david_n show_v that_o god_n be_v not_o glorify_v for_o any_o profit_n or_o advantage_n that_o he_o pretend_v on_o his_o own_o behalf_n according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o

of_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o belong_v too_o our_o salvation_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o his_o gift_n it_o be_v not_o

upon_o that_o string_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o humble_a ourselves_o with_o a_o good_a will_n and_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o saint_n paul_n blame_v man_n nature_n

what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v show_v we_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n a_o long_a time_n and_o yet_o we_o continue_v still_o like_o those_o that_o never_o taste_v of_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o without_o cause_n set_v down_o here_o the_o top_n of_o all_o

through_o with_o they_o and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v cocker_v himself_o when_o he_o have_v hold_v his_o own_o for_o a_o while_n and_o take_v great_a pain_n in_o employ_v himself_o too_o god_n seruis_fw-la but_o that_o he_o shall_v walk_v on_o still_o to_o the_o end_n &_o put_v the_o thing_n in_o ure_n which_o s._n paul_n show_v we_o in_o another_o place_n 13._o even_o by_o his_o own_o example_n for_o although_o he_o have_v do_v so_o notable_a thing_n as_o a_o man_n may_v say_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v hold_v he_o quite_o &_o give_v he_o some_o rest_n for_o his_o often_o fight_a both_o by_o sea_n and_o by_o land_n divers_a way_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v he_o forget_v all_o that_o be_v past_a and_o strain_v and_o enforce_v himself_o still_o forward_o till_o he_o may_v attain_v too_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o what_o cause_v a_o number_n too_o take_v so_o great_a liberty_n but_o that_o they_o think_v themselves_o too_o have_v do_v enough_o and_o may_v give_v other_o leave_v too_o take_v their_o turn_n why_o not_o say_v they_o it_o be_v now_o a_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n that_o i_o have_v take_v extreme_a pain_n without_o cease_v and_o the_o world_n have_v see_v my_o faithfulness_n zeal_n and_o care_v which_o i_o have_v have_v too_o serve_v god_n and_o my_o

too_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o infirmity_n in_o we_o still_o and_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o

have_v finish_v all_o thing_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o all_o that_o have_v live_v in_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o god_n we_o die_v likewise_o when_o it_o please_v he_o and_o according_a too_o his_o will_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o live_v in_o awe_n of_o he_o but_o we_o must_v also_o even_o in_o our_o death_n yield_v record_n that_o we_o be_v whole_o he_o and_o we_o must_v not_o covet_v too_o live_v here_o until_o we_o be_v weary_a of_o our_o life_n but_o we_o must_v always_o have_v one_o foot_n lift_v up_o too_o depart_v when_o it_o please_v god_n so_o then_o all_o be_v then_o finish_v when_o we_o have_v linger_v in_o this_o world_n as_o long_o as_o please_v god_n and_o every_o man_n endeavour_v too_o live_v according_a too_o his_o call_n and_o be_v

we_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o yield_v up_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n into_o god_n hand_n therefore_o let_v we_o stand_v fast_o say_v s._n paul_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o show_v ourselves_o before_o our_o god._n hereupon_o he_o show_v with_o what_o manner_n of_o armour_n we_o must_v be_v fence_v and_o furnish_v that_o be_v too_o wit_n with_o faith_n with_o righteousness_n with_o truth_n with_o god_n word_n and_o with_o the_o gospel_n now_o we_o must_v not_o be_v curious_a in_o seek_v here_o why_o saint_n paul_n give_v the_o title_n of_o helmet_n too_o one_o the_o title_n of_o breastplate_n too_o another_o and_o the_o title_n of_o shield_n too_o another_o for_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n too_o the_o thessalonian_n he_o touch_v the_o same_o
