how_o they_o set_v up_o their_o own_o rule_n above_o god_n rule_n which_o be_v a_o provocation_n to_o christ_n and_o he_o will_v not_o bear_v with_o such_o you_o may_v read_v the_o second_o and_o

commandment_n it_o afford_v something_o to_o we_o for_o our_o instruction_n which_o be_v this_o that_o when_o a_o people_n doctrine_n or_o any_o soul_n shall_v exalt_v their_o own_o tradition_n their_o own_o invention_n and_o make_v they_o equal_a or_o set_v they_o above_o the_o commandment_n and_o rule_n that_o christ_n have_v give_v his_o people_n to_o walk_v by_o christ_n will_v not_o

shall_v be_v any_o good_a do_v by_o such_o a_o people_n when_o they_o decline_v the_o rule_n and_o set_v up_o something_o of_o their_o own_o there_o be_v little_a hope_n that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n shall_v do_v good_a among_o such_o a_o people_n therefore_o christ_n will_v withdraw_v from_o they_o as_o he_o do_v from_o these_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n and_o so_o will_v christ_n withdraw_v his_o special_a presence_n from_o a_o people_n that_o shall_v set_v up_o their_o own_o invention_n for_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a provocation_n to_o christ_n first_o of_o all_o when_o a_o

and_o their_o heart_n be_v harden_v against_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n therefore_o there_o be_v little_a hope_n of_o such_o a_o people_n i_o say_v man_n own_o invention_n thus_o exalt_v and_o lift_v up_o above_o god_n rule_n it_o blind_v the_o mind_n and_o harden_v the_o heart_n against_o christ_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o make_n to_o a_o man_n self_n a_o grave_a image_n whatsoever_o a_o man_n shall_v bring_v in_o of_o his_o own_o as_o a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o to_o worship_n by_o he_o make_v that_o a_o image_n to_o himself_o now_o they_o that_o make_v grave_v image_n be_v like_a to_o they_o say_v the_o psalmist_n they_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o blindness_n decline_v god_n rule_n and_o christ_n institution_n it_o will_v blind_v they_o and_o harden_v they_o against_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n second_o when_o as_o man_n shall_v exalt_v their_o own_o invention_n the_o heart_n be_v so_o fill_v with_o they_o that_o

long_o sweet_a with_o they_o and_o the_o water_n of_o life_n have_v no_o relish_n with_o they_o and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o this_o christ_n will_v not_o stay_v but_o withdraw_v his_o spiritual_a presence_n from_o they_o as_o he_o do_v his_o bodily_a presence_n from_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n three_o christ_n will_v withdraw_v from_o such_o a_o people_n because_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v desperate_a enemy_n and_o persecutor_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o people_n and_o of_o his_o truth_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n christ_n have_v not_o such_o enemy_n in_o all_o the_o world_n as_o they_o be_v because_o they_o be_v most_o zealous_a for_o their_o own_o inventioon_n they_o decline_v the_o rule_n and_o set_v up_o their_o own_o rule_n and_o therefore_o they_o prove_v desperate_a enemy_n to_o christ_n paul_n make_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o it_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o open_v his_o eye_n and_o do_v tell_v you_o that_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o drive_v on_o that_o trade_n of_o persecute_v the_o saint_n with_o so_o much_o earnestness_n because_o he_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n in_o

zealous_a of_o the_o tradition_n of_o my_o father_n the_o zeal_n which_o he_o have_v for_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n be_v that_o which_o carry_v he_o on_o to_o persecute_v the_o christian_n with_o so_o much_o violence_n and_o many_o time_n it_o be_v so_o that_o they_o which_o do_v most_o exalt_v their_o own_o tradition_n they_o become_v very_o zealous_a in_o persecute_v the_o saint_n and_o truth_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o a_o man_n to_o become_v zealous_a for_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o flesh_n that_o which_o be_v a_o kin_n to_o the_o flesh_n the_o flesh_n will_v be_v zealous_a for_o now_o all_o tradition_n they_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n they_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o man_n own_o brain_n and_o therefore_o upon_o that_o account_n man_n be_v many_o time_n very_o zealous_a for_o they_o to_o the_o persecute_v of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n now_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o lord_n christ_n will_v not_o afford_v his_o presence_n with_o such_o as_o lay_v aside_o his_o rule_n for_o they_o many_o time_n prove_v the_o great_a persecuter_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o people_n four_o christ_n will_v not_o continue_v and_o afford_v his_o presence_n with_o such_o a_o people_n as_o set_v up_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o tradition_n in_o the_o place_n of_o god_n rule_n because_o they_o do_v arrogate_v that_o to_o

to_o christ_n to_o give_v a_o rule_n for_o his_o people_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o therefore_o when_o man_n shall_v set_v up_o their_o rule_n in_o the_o place_n of_o christ_n rule_n what_o do_v they_o but_o take_v the_o place_n of_o christ_n the_o office_n of_o christ_n and_o turn_v christ_n out_o of_o his_o office_n and_o set_v themselves_o in_o christ_n chair_n now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a provocation_n to_o christ_n and_o that_o which_o christ_n will_v not_o endure_v but_o depart_v from_o such_o a_o people_n five_o they_o that_o do_v exalt_v their_o own_o invention_n and_o tradition_n in_o the_o place_n of_o christ_n rule_n for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o place_v their_o righteousness_n in_o those_o very_a tradition_n of_o their_o own_o which_o be_v a_o great_a provocation_n unto_o christ_n for_o you_o may_v observe_v this_o in_o the_o pharisee_n they_o that_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o their_o own_o invention_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n they_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n but_o they_o place_v their_o righteousness_n in_o their_o tradition_n in_o their_o invention_n a_o kind_n of_o voluntary_a humility_n they_o have_v and_o willing_o submit_v to_o their_o tradition_n and_o by_o so_o do_v do_v overturn_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n place_v their_o righteousness_n in_o their_o own_o observation_n it_o be_v that_o which_o make_v they_o not_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n let_v a_o man_n do_v never_o so_o much_o let_v he_o walk_v never_o so_o strict_o let_v he_o set_v up_o the_o straight_a rule_n to_o himself_o to_o walk_v by_o though_o a_o man_n do_v never_o so_o much_o though_o he_o afflict_v his_o body_n never_o so_o much_o if_o this_o tend_v to_o
