how_o to_o live_v and_o that_o well_o in_o all_o estate_n and_o time_n special_o when_o help_n and_o comfort_n fail_v print_a by_o john_n legat_n printer_n to_o the_o university_n of_o cambridge_n 1601._o and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v at_o the_o crown_n in_o paul_n churchyard_n by_o simon_n waterson_n to_o the_o reader_n good_a reader_n if_o thou_o will_v be_v save_v by_o thy_o faith_n in_o christ_n after_o death_n thou_o must_v here_o live_v by_o it_o before_o death_n and_o faith_n for_o the_o time_n of_o this_o life_n have_v two_o great_a use_n the_o first_o be_v to_o cut_v off_o worldly_a sorrow_n and_o care_n it_o be_v the_o common_a fashion_n of_o man_n to_o multiply_v their_o care_n out_o of_o measure_n and_o thereby_o to_o make_v their_o life_n most_o miserable_a for_o first_o of_o all_o beside_o necessary_a labour_n they_o take_v upon_o they_o many_o needless_a and_o superfluous_a business_n second_o their_o manner_n be_v to_o care_v not_o only_o for_o the_o labour_n to_o be_v do_v but_o also_o for_o the_o event_n and_o success_n of_o their_o labour_n that_o they_o may_v always_o prosper_v and_o never_o be_v cross_v but_o this_o care_n belong_v to_o god_n alone_o three_o they_o content_v not_o themselves_o with_o their_o lot_n and_o condition_n but_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o increase_v their_o estate_n and_o to_o make_v themselves_o rich_a last_o they_o exercise_v themselves_o not_o only_o in_o dispose_v of_o thing_n present_a but_o they_o forecast_v many_o matter_n in_o their_o head_n and_o plot_v the_o success_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v now_o faith_n when_o we_o have_v do_v the_o work_n of_o our_o calling_n according_a to_o the_o prescript_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v i_o say_v make_v we_o commend_v to_o god_n the_o blessing_n success_n &_o event_n thereof_o by_o prayer_n and_o affiance_n in_o his_o promise_n not_o doubt_v but_o he_o will_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n necessary_a and_o if_o we_o want_v the_o blessing_n and_o success_n we_o look_v for_o yet_o faith_n make_v we_o to_o renounce_v our_o own_o desire_n and_o in_o silence_n to_o quiet_v our_o heart_n in_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o many_o worldly_a care_n be_v cut_v off_o second_o when_o a_o man_n at_o his_o wit_n end_n know_v not_o what_o in_o the_o world_n to_o do_v be_v as_o it_o be_v plunge_v into_o a_o sea_n of_o misery_n faith_n give_v direction_n and_o stay_v the_o mind_n for_o when_o all_o temporal_a thing_n fail_v we_o even_o to_o the_o very_a skin_n and_o life_n faith_n preserve_v within_o we_o a_o affiance_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o life_n everlasting_a faith_n show_v we_o hidden_a thing_n not_o to_o be_v discern_v by_o sense_n and_o reason_n life_n everlasting_a be_v promise_v we_o but_o we_o die_v for_o all_o that_o we_o hear_v of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o rot_v in_o our_o grave_n we_o be_v pronounce_v bless_v but_o yet_o we_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o infinite_a misery_n abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v promise_v but_o for_o all_o this_o we_o often_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n god_n promise_v to_o hear_v we_o and_o to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o but_o he_o seem_v oft_o time_n to_o be_v deaf_a as_o it_o be_v at_o our_o cry_n now_o then_o come_v faith_n which_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o thing_n hope_v for_o and_o make_v we_o lift_v our_o mind_n above_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o apprehend_v the_o invisible_a and_o unspeakable_a thing_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v and_o promise_v unto_o us._n these_o thing_n i_o show_v more_o at_o large_a in_o this_o small_a treatise_n follow_v read_v it_o at_o thy_o leisure_n use_v it_o for_o thy_o good_a and_o see_v thou_o be_v a_o doer_n

law_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n have_v in_o it_o all_o the_o point_n and_o part_n of_o justice_n and_o all_o the_o perfection_n of_o all_o part_n and_o it_o be_v never_o find_v in_o any_o upon_o earth_n except_o adam_n and_o christ._n the_o justice_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v all_o the_o part_n of_o true_a justice_n but_o it_o want_v the_o full_a perfection_n of_o part_n as_o a_o child_n have_v all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o man_n in_o the_o infancy_n though_o it_o want_v perfection_n of_o stature_n and_o tallness_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o justice_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n with_o a_o purpose_n will_n &_o endeavour_v to_o please_v god_n according_a to_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n thus_o be_v no_o just_a job_n ●_o zacharie_n and_o elizabeth_n and_o thus_o must_v the_o just_a man_n be_v take_v in_o this_o place_n for_o one_o that_o turn_v to_o god_n &_o by_o grace_n endeavour_n to_o please_v god_n according_a to_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n in_o his_o place_n and_o calling_n the_o second_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o life_n be_v here_o mean_v as_o death_n be_v here_o twofold_a the_o first_o and_o the_o second_o so_o be_v life_n the_o first_o be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n the_o second_o be_v the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n with_o god_n the_o first_o be_v call_v natural_a the_o second_o spiritual_a or_o eternal_a life_n and_o both_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o place_n for_o paul_n bring_v this_o very_a text_n to_o prove_v the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n by_o faith_n 7.11_o and_o justification_n be_v a_o part_n of_o spiritual_a life_n because_o it_o be_v the_o acceptation_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o prophet_n say_v the_o just_a man_n shall_v live_v have_v relation_n not_o only_o to_o the_o time_n of_o affliction_n then_o to_o come_v but_o also_o to_o eternal_a life_n the_o three_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o be_v the_o faith_n here_o mean_v and_o that_o be_v justify_v or_o save_v faith_n because_o we_o must_v live_v by_o the_o same_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v save_v and_o faith_n have_v his_o effect_n not_o only_o after_o this_o life_n but_o also_o in_o this_o life_n we_o must_v live_v first_o by_o it_o before_o we_o can_v be_v save_v by_o it_o paul_n therefore_o in_o his_o own_o example_n expound_v this_o text_n say_v 1.20_o and_o in_o that_o i_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n i_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o the_o four_o point_n be_v the_o construction_n of_o the_o word_n and_o that_o be_v two_o way_n the_o first_o be_v thus_o the_o just_a by_o faith_n shall_v live_v the_o word_n by_o faith_n be_v join_v upon_o the_o word_n lust_n and_o then_o the_o sense_n be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v just_a by_o his_o faith_n shall_v live_v or_o have_v eternal_a life_n the_o second_o be_v thus_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n the_o word_n by_o faith_n be_v join_v to_o the_o word_n shall_v live_v &_o then_o the_o sense_n be_v this_o the_o just_a while_o he_o live_v in_o this_o world_n he_o shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n this_o latter_a construction_n and_o sense_n i_o rather_o choose_v and_o embrace_v because_o paul_n 12._o cven_v in_o this_o sense_n bring_v this_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o life_n eternal_a and_o consequent_o justification_n come_v not_o by_o work_v according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o by_o
