the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n his_o resurrection_n and_o also_o the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o shall_v have_v by_o he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n that_o make_v the_o man_n good_a but_o the_o man_n that_o make_v the_o work_n good_a for_o you_o must_v well_o know_v that_o if_o abraham_n have_v not_o believe_v the_o lord_n he_o have_v not_o be_v count_v righteous_a speak_v for_o although_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o chapter_n work_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o thereby_o have_v somewhat_o wherein_o to_o rejoice_v yet_o have_v he_o not_o so_o in_o no_o respect_n with_o god_n for_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n do_v it_o not_o tell_v you_o how_o that_o abraham_n believe_v the_o lord_n and_o he_o count_v that_o unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n so_o that_o y_z e_z work_n which_o he_o do_v have_v be_v but_o as_o dead_a work_n and_o rot_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n have_v he_o not_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o seed_n that_o shall_v come_v of_o he_o again_o you_o must_v as_o well_o know_v that_o israel_n obtain_v 7._o not_o that_o which_o they_o seek_v through_o work_n but_o the_o election_n obtain_v it_o neither_o be_v they_o

boast_v himself_o 11._o and_o therefore_o the_o scrip●…ure_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o so_o man_n may_v see_v plain_o how_o they_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o

forgeven_v and_o who_o 6._o sin_n be_v cover_v bless_a be_v that_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o sin_n and_o good_a cause_n the_o holy_a prophet_n have_v so_o to_o say_v f●…r_o if_o

no_o 23._o man_n but_o he_o have_v sin_v and_o go_v a_o stray_n therefore_o no_o man_n 23._o but_o he_o deserve_v the_o wage_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n but_o if_o man_n do_v look_v for_o eternal_a

to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o who_o he_o 10._o have_v elect_v in_o christ_n shall_v walk_v in_o they_o but_o not_o in_o any_o respect_n for_o man_n to_o think_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o

to_o come_v from_o man_n if_o they_o have_v not_o first_o take_v care_n for_o the_o sound_n plant_v of_o the_o tree_n that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v not_o first_o teach_v man_n the_o sound_n

by_o such_o thing_n god_n will_v have_v be_v please_v yes_o in_o deed_n have_v he_o for_o you_o see_v he_o be_v 14_o circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n &_o of_o the_o kindred_n of_o israel_n and_o of_o

upon_o this_o point_n even_o upon_o this_o that_o the_o sound_n knowledge_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o to_o have_v be_v more_o accept_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o all_o the_o work_n which_o

whereby_o be_v mean_v that_o whosoever_o be_v a_o tree_n plant_v 10._o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o water_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v

according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o own_o most_o perfect_a word_n as_o the_o faithful_a company_n of_o christian_n ought_v to_o do_v upon_o they_o i_o say_v that_o will_v not_o so_o do_v shall_v fall_v no_o part_n of_o that_o gracious_a 11._o rain_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o moreover_o it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o whosoever_o they_o be_v that_o shall_v

with_o 5._o the_o low_a and_o likewise_o a_o certain_a time_n shall_v continue_v it_o against_o the_o high_a therefore_o we_o be_v here_o to_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o rome_n and_o to_o mark_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v reserve_v they_o as_o a_o corporation_n of_o most_o filthy_a beast_n and_o as_o a_o cage_n of_o unleane_a 2._o kite_n for_o his_o wrath_n to_o aim_v at_o while_n the_o
