same_o redemption_n secondlie_o what_o mean_v he_o use_v in_o gevinge_v it_o unto_o us._n and_o therdlie_o with_o what_o pass_v great_a love_n he_o give_v it_o unto_o us._n how_o pass_v great_a that_o be_v which_o our_o saviour_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o by_o this_o benefit_n of_o our_o redemption_n there_o be_v no_o tongue_n able_a to_o express_v howbeit_o we_o may_v conceive_v somewhat_o thereof_o by_o two_o way_n the_o first_o way_n be_v by_o consider_v all_o the_o evil_n and_o misery_n whereinto_o mankind_n incur_v through_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o first_o man_n adam_n for_o all_o these_o misery_n be_v sufficient_o remedy_v by_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n who_o bestow_v upon_o we_o all_o such_o benefit_n as_o be_v contrary_a unto_o these_o misery_n forsomuch_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v a_o universal_a reparer_fw-la of_o all_o the_o evilles_n and_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n now_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o reckon_v how_o many_o the_o misery_n be_v whereinto_o the_o world_n have_v fall_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o first_o man_n adam_n may_v also_o understande_v how_o many_o the_o benefit_n be_v that_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o second_o adam_n to_o wit_n by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n which_o benefit_n be_v undoutedlie_o innumerable_a the_o second_o way_n be_v by_o consider_v not_o all_o the_o misery_n which_o our_o first_o father_n adam_n bring_v unto_o we_o but_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n forsomuch_o as_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o all_o those_o benefitte_v by_o mean_n of_o communicatinge_v his_o spirit_n unto_o we_o for_o all_o such_o as_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v partaker_n also_o of_o the_o virtue_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o the_o apostle_n saithe_v 3.27_o galat._n 3.27_o that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n have_v put_v on_o christ_n gevinge_v we_o thereby_o to_o understande_v that_o they_o all_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v adorn_v with_o his_o virtue_n and_o merit_n and_o that_o so_o be_v clothe_v with_o this_o liverey_n they_o seem_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o heavenly_a father_n to_o be_v such_o after_o a_o sort_n in_o their_o degree_n as_o his_o own_o very_a son_n seem_v before_o he_o and_o therefore_o for_o good_a cause_n do_v ecclesiasticus_fw-la allege_v this_o wonderful_a title_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o his_o prayer_n 36.14_o eccl._n 36.14_o sayeinge_v have_v mercy_n o_o lord_n upon_o thy_o people_n israel_n who_o thou_o have_v make_v equal_a and_o like_a to_o thy_o first_o beget_v son_n what_o dignity_n what_o glory_n can_v be_v great_a than_o this_o now_o accord_v hereunto_o he_o that_o can_v reckon_v how_o many_o the_o virtue_n and_o merit_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v be_v may_v likewise_o understande_v how_o many_o the_o benefit_n have_v be_v that_o be_v come_v unto_o we_o by_o he_o forsomuch_o as_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o they_o all_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o his_o passion_n to_o conclude_v by_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n grace_n glory_n liberty_n peace_n salvation_n redemption_n sanctification_n justice_n satisfaction_n sacrament_n merit_n doctrine_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o
