no_o trust_n in_o the_o flesh_n for_o under_o the_o name_n of_o flesh_n he_o comprehend_v whatsoever_o be_v outward_a in_o a_o man_n from_o whence_o glory_n be_v seek_v as_o it_o shall_v appear_v

of_o the_o law_n because_o not_o content_v with_o christ_n they_o fly_v unto_o the_o glory_n of_o other_o he_o put_v to_o rejoice_v and_o to_o have_v trust_n for_o the_o same_o for_o through_o

to_o insult_v upon_o christ_n but_o let_v we_o refuse_v our_o own_o glory_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o envy_v that_o we_o do_v not_o esteem_v yea_o rather_o that_o we_o willing_o cast_v away_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o make_v most_o account_n of_o let_v this_o notwithstanding_o be_v always_o a_o clause_n that_o all_o trust_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v vain_a

see_v by_o and_o by_o which_o he_o have_v not_o in_o like_a manner_n common_a with_o they_o and_o in_o some_o thing_n he_o do_v far_o surpass_v they_o he_o say_v improper_o that_o he_o have_v trust_v who_o without_o trust_n be_v endue_v with_o carnal_a glory_n wherewith_o other_o be_v puff_v up_o 5_o circumcise_a the_o eight_o day_n word_n for_o word_n it_o be_v the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o

that_o he_o be_v circumcise_v touch_v that_o ordinary_a circumcision_n it_o be_v have_v in_o great_a estimation_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o their_o kindred_n whereof_o he_o add_v

be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o pharise_n in_o opinion_n of_o holiness_n and_o doctrine_n be_v famous_a above_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o sect_n he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v it_o be_v a_o common_a opinion_n that_o they_o be_v call_v pharise_n of_o division_n but_o i_o rather_o allow_v that_o which_o i_o hear_v sometime_o of_o capito_n a_o man_n of_o holy_a memory_n that_o they_o have_v their_o name_n from_o hence_o because_o they_o boast_v that_o they_o excel_v in_o the_o gift_n of_o interpret_n the_o scripture_n for_o phares_n among_o the_o hebrew_n be_v

true_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o antiquity_n they_o corrupt_v the_o whole_a scripture_n by_o their_o gloss_n yet_o because_o they_o keep_v still_o certain_a interpretation_n deliver_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o father_n the_o great_a honour_n be_v give_v unto_o they_o but_o what_o mean_v this_o clause_n according_a to_o the_o law_n for_o true_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n than_o sect_n for_o there_o one_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v delyver_v which_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o unity_n moreover_o that_o all_o sect_n spring_v up_o when_o jonathas_n be_v high_a priest_n josephus_n witness_v in_o his_o first_o book_n of_o antiquity_n and_o 13._o chapter_n paul_n use_v improper_o the_o name_n of_o the_o law_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n because_o it_o be_v very_o corrupt_a at_o that_o time_n as_o at_o this_o day_n be_v the_o christianity_n in_o the_o papacy_n but_o because_o there_o be_v many_o of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o doctor_n less_o skilful_a and_o exercise_v he_o make_v mention_n of_o his_o own_o zeal_n this_o be_v a_o heinous_a offence_n in_o paul_n to_o persecute_v the_o church_n but_o because_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o varlet_n who_o by_o mingle_v christ_n with_o moses_n do_v pretend_v the_o zeal_n of_o the_o law_n he_o show_v of_o the_o contrary_a side_n that_o he_o be_v so_o earnest_o zealous_a for_o the_o law_n that_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o be_v a_o persecutor_n of_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o here_o he_o understand_v the_o whole_a righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n for_o it_o be_v too_o barren_a to_o take_v it_o for_o the_o ceremony_n only_o the_o sense_n therefore_o be_v more_o general_a that_o he_o embrace_v integrity_n of_o life_n so_o much_o as_o can_v be_v require_v of_o a_o professor_n of_o the_o law_n again_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v perfect_a before_o god_n for_o the_o sum_n be_v that_o man_n altogether_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o god_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o desire_v unto_o perfection_n i_o answer_v that_o paul_n here_o speak_v of_o righteousness_n which_o may_v satisfy_v the_o common_a estimation_n of_o man_n for_o he_o separate_v the_o law_n from_o christ_n and_o what_o be_v the_o law_n without_o christ_n but_o a_o dead_a letter_n that_o the_o matter_n may_v appear_v more_o plain_o i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o double_a righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n one_o be_v spiritual_a namely_o the_o perfect_a love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o neighbour_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o doctrine_n and_o be_v never_o in_o the_o life_n of_o any_o man_n the_o other_o be_v liberal_a which_o appear_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n hypocrisy_n reign_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o god_n but_o iniquity_n so_o the_o law_n have_v two_o respect_n the_o one_o of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o of_o man_n paul_n therefore_o be_v holy_a in_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n and_o free_a from_o all_o reprehension_n a_o rare_a praise_n true_o and_o almost_o singular_a yet_o let_v we_o consider_v how_o much_o he_o esteem_v it_o 7_o but_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v advantage_n unto_o i_o the_o same_o i_o count_v loss_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n 8_o yea_o i_o think_v all_o thing_n but_o loss_n for_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n my_o lord_n for_o who_o i_o have_v make_v loss_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o i_o
