you_o see_v then_o that_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o confess_v in_o general_a term_n that_o the_o gospel_n ought_v too_o be_v preach_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o know_v not_o what_o the_o gospel_n be_v now_o too_o correct_v such_o fault_n s._n paul_n say_v namely_o the_o gospel_n that_o i_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o and_o hereby_o as_o i_o say_v he_o show_v we_o that_o we_o

the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o by_o the_o way_n it_o ought_v too_o make_v paul_n doctrine_n of_o the_o more_o authority_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o bold_o in_o the_o

now_o saint_n paul_n add_v immediate_o that_o it_o be_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o this_o wicked_a world_n here_o he_o show_v why_o we_o be_v call_v too_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o also_o why_o he_o have_v set_v so_o great_a store_n by_o we_o as_o to_o redeem_v we_o as_o he_o have_v do_v namely_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o our_o filth_n and_o

at_o the_o free_a favour_n which_o god_n bear_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o determine_v in_o his_o everlasting_a purpose_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v back_o again_o unto_o he_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n another_o cause_n thereof_o be_v jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o we_o find_v all_o that_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o

we_o from_o come_v too_o god_n that_o be_v the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v here_o now_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o embrace_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o true_a faith_n for_o the_o faithless_a have_v no_o profit_n at_o all_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o rather_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o damnable_a because_o they_o reject_v the_o mean_a that_o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o their_o unthankfulness_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_o punish_v because_o they_o have_v tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o ransom_n for_o their_o soul_n therefore_o it_o

the_o scan_n of_o our_o salvation_n now_o remain_v that_o god_n be_v glorify_v in_o we_o as_o good_a reason_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o third_o to_o the_o roman_n say_v that_o whereas_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o mean_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n
it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o bring_v in_o man_n opinion_n in_o that_o case_n to_o wrap_v ourselves_o in_o any_o doubt_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v now_o adays_o who_o have_v none_o other_o buckler_n against_o we_o but_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n counsel_n and_o antiquity_n howbeit_o when_o they_o have_v throng_v all_o the_o world_n together_o will_v it_o be_v able_a to_o countervail_v the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n no_o certain_o now_o than_o we_o may_v well_o mock_v at_o their_o foolishness_n after_o the_o example_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o say_v that_o if_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o the_o rabble_n of_o his_o stink_a clergy_n have_v the_o angel_n on_o their_o side_n it_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o comparison_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v all_o sovereign_a

in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o philippian_n 23._o where_o this_o say_n be_v apply_v to_o his_o person_n in_o that_o god_n swear_v that_o all_o knee_n shall_v bow_v before_o he_o &_o all_o tongue_n confess_v that_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v glorify_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o way_n for_o we_o to_o commend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o abide_v unremoved_a by_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n &_o when_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n or_o that_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o sing_v god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o be_v full_o resolve_v in_o our_o mind_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o always_o to_o it_o without_o change_v this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n show_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o of_o his_o gospel_n that_o he_o have_v preach_v for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o

seek_v not_o to_o please_v man_n but_o jesus_n christ_n afterward_o he_o add_v that_o his_o gospel_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v revel_v to_o he_o from_o above_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o it_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o s._n paul_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n in_o general_a except_o he_o have_v show_v therewith_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a &_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n can_v well_o enough_o away_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o very_o great_a estimation_n among_o we_o but_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n the_o gospel_n be_v and_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n chalendge_v that_o faithfulness_n of_o teach_v the_o gospel_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v change_v let_v the_o same_o be_v accurse_v and_o this_o yet_o again_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o when_o the_o papist_n read_v this_o place_n they_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o it_o and_o god_n also_o have_v dull_v they_o so_o as_o there_o be_v less_o wit_n in_o they_o than_o in_o little_a child_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o namely_o that_o paul_n mean_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v another_o gospel_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v write_v a_o book_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v write_v by_o he_o than_o they_o shall_v utter_o reject_v it_o because_o the_o gospel_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o think_v not_o that_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o paul_n epistle_n be_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o gospel_n but_o they_o rather_o surmise_v that_o he_o have_v write_v some_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o any_o other_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o refuzall_n thereof_o the_o same_o that_o have_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o credit_n nor_o reputation_n but_o we_o see_v that_o in_o that_o case_n these_o wretched_a beast_n have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o understanding_n nor_o any_o taste_n at_o all_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v even_o to_o show_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_fw-la the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o will_v we_o be_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o accept_v what_o soever_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o his_o name_n but_o we_o must_v put_v that_o thing_n in_o â—re_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n 5_o which_o be_v too_o be_v able_a by_o herken_v unto_o his_o voice_n too_o discern_v his_o voice_n from_o

way_n to_o be_v under_o the_o guide_n of_o our_o good_a shepherd_n be_v that_o we_o swerve_v not_o one_o way_n nor_o other_o when_o man_n assail_v we_o but_o every_o of_o we_o indever_n to_o draw_v

which_o care_v not_o which_o end_n go_v forward_o in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o we_o must_v rest_v to_o have_v any_o trust_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v well_o they_o can_v like_v well_o enough_o of_o that_o doctrine_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o a_o man_n set_v store_n of_o trumpery_n before_o they_o

the_o author_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n his_o father_n see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o to_o it_o and_o so_o consequent_o when_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o another_o gospel_n he_o mean_v the_o minglemangle_n and_o corruption_n that_o may_v be_v put_v unto_o it_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v whatsoever_o be_v add_v or_o patch_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o

therefore_o let_v we_o shun_v it_o as_o a_o poison_n for_o sure_o no_o poison_n can_v be_v so_o deadly_a as_o a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o if_o man_n do_v natural_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o

gospel_n it_o a_o very_a notable_a say_n and_o which_o import_v a_o very_a profitable_a doctrine_n for_o he_o may_v well_o have_v say_v simple_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v abide_v

all_o that_o ever_o man_n presume_v to_o bring_v unto_o god_n to_o win_v his_o favour_n with_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v against_o all_o deserve_a when_o s._n paul_n avouch_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a than_o by_o faith_n we_o shall_v see_v more_o plain_o hereafter_o why_o faith_n be_v so_o compare_v with_o the_o law_n as_o a_o

pay_v we_o the_o wage_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o faith_n presuppose_v we_o to_o be_v wretched_a damn_a &_o forlorn_a folk_n and_o that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o seek_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o want_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v two_o man_n that_o desire_v to_o be_v board_v and_o lodge_v whereof_o the_o one_o bring_v money_n with_o he_o and_o look_n to_o be_v well_o entertain_v for_o his_o well_o pay_v and_o both_o of_o they_o require_v meat_n &_o drink_v howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v but_o the_o second_o man_n be_v poor_a &_o have_v neither_o

both_o need_n but_o the_o first_o have_v money_n to_o content_v his_o host_n and_o like_a as_o he_o shall_v have_v fare_v well_o and_o be_v well_o and_o courteous_o interteyn_v so_o shall_v his_o

he_o nothing_o but_o a_o charge_n so_o then_o if_o we_o will_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o the_o law_n we_o must_v deserve_v it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v receyve_v of_o we_o and_o we_o of_o he_o and_o there_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o interchaunge_v betwixt_o us._n and_o be_v that_o possible_a no_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o at_o large_a hereafter_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o we_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o if_o we_o think_v to_o bring_v any_o thing_n to_o bind_v god_n withal_o we_o do_v but_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n then_o be_v there_o none_o other_o shift_n but_o to_o go_v to_o he_o like_o poor_a beggar_n and_o so_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n not_o as_o by_o a_o virtue_n that_o be_v of_o ourselves_o but_o because_o we_o confess_v with_o all_o lowliness_n that_o we_o can_v not_o obtain_v salvation_n but_o by_o his_o free_a gift_n ▪_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n be_v set_v here_o full_o but_o against_o faith_n as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o they_o which_o go_v about_o to_o win_v god_n favour_n by_o their_o own_o merit_n forsake_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o shall_v be_v declare_v more_o at_o length_n hereafter_o ▪_o but_o now_o if_o any_o man_n say_v that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v of_o god_n so_o as_o it_o can_v not_o have_v any_o contrariety_n against_o faith_n whereof_o god_n be_v the_o author_n also_o the_o answer_n thereunto_o be_v easy_a for_o god_n make_v both_o day_n and_o night_n fire_n and_o water_n cold_a and_o heat_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o day_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o night_n but_o we_o see_v the_o wonderful_a order_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n in_o that_o man_n have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o do_v then_o work_n in_o by_o day_n and_o the_o darkness_n as_o it_o be_v a_o covert_n to_o rest_v in_o by_o night_n so_o than_o although_o the_o day_n differ_v from_o the_o night_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o contrariety_n betwixt_o they_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o between_o fire_n and_o water_n so_o each_o creature_n be_v put_v to_o his_o own_o proper_a use_n but_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v very_o well_o agree_v the_o fire_n and_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o 〈◊〉_d behold_v they_o fight_v together_o then_o be_v there_o great_a

to_o he_o do_v but_o turmoil_n and_o mingle_v thing_n together_o and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v set_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v much_o easy_a too_o mingle_v fire_n and_o water_n together_o than_o too_o say_v that_o we_o can_v purchase_v any_o grace_n at_o god_n hand_n by_o our_o own_o deserve_n and_o therewithal_o also_o have_v need_n to_o be_v succour_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o a_o man_n consider_v what_o the_o law_n be_v and_o too_o what_o purpose_n it_o be_v give_v he_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o whit_n at_o all_o repugnant_a too_o the_o gospel_n nor_o consequent_o untoo_o faith_n but_o that_o they_o agree_v very_o well_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o difficulty_n be_v

staff_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v he_o as_o he_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a then_o can_v not_o abraham_n bring_v aught_o of_o himself_o for_o look_v what_o

draw_v diverse_o with_o many_o vanity_n yea_o put_v the_o case_n that_o a_o man_n be_v as_o perfect_a as_o a_o angel_n
that_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v give_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o in_o to_o diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o fullness_n nature_n and_o force_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n when_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n nevertheless_o it_o suffice_v that_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n that_o by_o his_o mean_n man_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n now_o if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v more_o than_o need_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v some_o change_n and_o variableness_n in_o god_n purpose_n see_v the_o law_n come_v in_o saint_n paul_n discuss_v the_o same_o in_o place_n convenient_a and_o we_o must_v not_o huddle_n up_o thing_n together_o for_o all_o can_v be_v utter_v at_o once_o neither_o in_o a_o hour_n nor_o in_o a_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o at_o this_o time_n too_o have_v this_o point_n make_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o intoo_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n be_v before_o the_o law_n and_o also_o that_o the_o same_o promis_fw-fr have_v not_o any_o respect_n to_o our_o deserve_n nor_o too_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o person_n but_o too_o god_n mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o without_o look_v for_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o because_o he_o see_v welynough_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a misery_n and_o finallye_o that_o the_o say_a promise_n be_v ground_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryste_n who_o have_v already_o do_v the_o suffice_v of_o a_o mediator_n to_o make_v we_o way_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n this_o be_v grant_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o promise_n have_v abide_v and_o shall_v abide_v for_o ever_o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o be_v say_v express_o because_o the_o jew_n glory_v of_o their_o auncetrie_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o their_o father_n abraham_n have_v not_o the_o law_n but_o be_v content_v though_o he_o use_v sacrifise_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o although_o he_o be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o end_n yet_o when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n there_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o they_o any_o law_n write_v no_o nor_o any_o circumcision_n at_o all_o for_o abraham_n be_v uncircumcised_a when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v iustify_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v and_o all_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n saint_n paul_n therefore_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v great_o oversee_v too_o shoal_n out_o themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a woâ—ld_n and_o to_o rest_v continual_o upon_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n see_v that_o abraham_n their_o father_n and_o the_o chief_a patriarch_n of_o the_o church_n be_v iustify_v the_o sefsame_a way_n that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o this_o day_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o god_n mere_a mercy_n because_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o accurse_v and_o damn_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o blissednesse_n to_o be_v hope_v for_o other_o than_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v he_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o here_o too_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o abraham_n that_o all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bliss_v in_o his_o seed_n 3._o now_o there_o be_v here_o two_o principal_a point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n be_v promise_v not_o only_o to_o abraham_n fleshly_a offspring_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o but_o also_o to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o general_n we_o therefore_o be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v issue_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o be_v heathenfolke_n and_o banish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n although_o then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o of_o that_o holy_a lineage_n which_o god_n have_v choose_v at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v salvation_n to_o be_v extend_v unto_o us._n and_o why_o so_o â–ª_o for_o it_o have_v hin_a promise_v before_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bliss_v see_v it_o be_v so_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o bounteousness_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o say_a lineage_n of_o abraham_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v already_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o time_n convenient_a you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a promise_n unto_o abraham_n be_v not_o for_o his_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fullness_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o seed_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o of_o mo_z than_o one_o but_o of_o one_o only_a seed_n which_o must_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v jesus_n christ_n here_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o saint_n paul_n buzy_v his_o head_n about_o a_o needless_a matter_n for_o the_o word_n seed_n import_v a_o lineage_n or_o offspring_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o some_o one_o man_n or_o ten_o or_o forty_o but_o a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n that_o it_o be_v just_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v twelve_o nation_n for_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o people_n it_o will_v be_v think_v enough_o to_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o they_o together_o and_o there_o be_v many_o mo_z in_o the_o only_a tribe_n of_o juda_n so_o than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o sufficient_o consider_v what_o god_n mean_v by_o the_o word_n seed_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o only_a man_n but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v here_o as_o full_o certain_a and_o resolute_a and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceyve_v his_o argument_n to_o be_v utter_o infallible_a abraham_n have_v not_o one_o son_n alone_o but_o after_o ishmael_n he_o have_v isaac_n also_o and_o what_o become_v of_o his_o elder_a son_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o house_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v within_o a_o while_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v behold_v then_o ishmael_n which_o have_v the_o birthright_n in_o abraham_n house_n be_v nevertheless_o put_v out_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a stranger_n 10._o yea_o and_o as_o a_o rot_a member_n in_o somuch_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o 1._o cast_v out_o the_o son_n of_o the_o handseruante_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o inherit_v in_o my_o house_n afterward_o abraham_n have_v other_o child_n but_o every_o of_o they_o have_v their_o portion_n give_v unto_o they_o and_o be_v send_v away_o 23._o thus_o be_v only_a isaac_n leave_v at_o home_n untoo_o he_o anon_o after_o isaac_n have_v a_o couple_n of_o child_n and_o they_o be_v twin_n of_o one_o womb_n esau_n the_o firstborne_v which_o ought_v too_o have_v have_v the_o preferment_fw-mi be_v likewise_o cast_v off_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o count_v for_o the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n nor_o yet_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_a blessing_n there_o be_v no_o mo_z leave_v but_o jacob_n yea_o and_o although_o the_o father_n bliss_v his_o son_n jacob_n through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n 37_o yet_o he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o revoke_v or_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o all_o those_o that_o come_v of_o his_o race_n the_o ismaelite_n or_o agarenes_n as_o they_o be_v call_v and_o such_o other_o like_a and_o moreover_o the_o edomite_n also_o shall_v be_v of_o his_o household_n but_o the_o heritage_n be_v take_v quite_o and_o clean_o from_o they_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v consider_v after_o a_o peculiar_a
with_o the_o law_n and_o wherefore_o be_v it_o give_v to_o prove_v man_n double_v guilty_a before_o god_n that_o their_o hypocrisy_n may_v not_o stand_v they_o in_o any_o more_o stead_n nor_o they_o

why_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o four_o too_o the_o roman_n 15_o reason_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n for_o say_v he_o the_o law_n bring_v nothing_o but_o wrath_n and_o by_o the_o word_n wrath_n he_o meen_v god_n vengeance_n life_n and_o death_n can_v come_v both_o of_o the_o law_n but_o in_o sundry_a respect_n now_o the_o law_n be_v deathful_a untoo_o all_o of_o we_o so_o that_o it_o condemn_v we_o and_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v all_o curse_a and_o abominable_a before_o god_n and_o therefore_o what_o a_o fondness_n be_v it_o to_o seek_v rightuousnesse_n by_o it_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o take_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o but_o he_o declare_v this_o matter_n more_o familiar_o in_o the_o vii_o to_o the_o roman_n when_o he_o say_v that_o by_o the_o law_n sin_n become_v out_o of_o measure_n sinful_a 8_o for_o there_o be_v enough_o to_o condemn_v we_o though_o there_o be_v no_o law_n at_o all_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o which_o sin_n without_o law_n 12._o shall_v perish_v without_o law_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n although_o the_o heathen_a folk_n have_v no_o instruction_n whereby_o to_o be_v rebuke_v yet_o have_v they_o a_o record_n engrave_v in_o their_o conscience_n which_o do_v find_v they_o guilty_a you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n be_v sufficient_o worthy_a to_o

thereof_o carri_v we_o to_o such_o confusion_n that_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v find_v to_o be_v double_a sinner_n and_o be_v more_o condemn_v and_o less_o excusable_a than_o before_o so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o we_o but_o a_o bottomless_a gulf_n lo_o to_o what_o end_n the_o law_n be_v give_v us._n but_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v add_v too_o the_o promise_n whereby_o we_o be_v do_v too_o understand_v that_o the_o add_v of_o it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o the_o promise_n be_v weak_a of_o itself_o and_o unable_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o salvation_n so_o as_o there_o shall_v need_v some_o other_o incomme_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o say_v saint_n paul_n but_o it_o be_v add_v too_o make_v man_n know_v that_o god_n have_v rightful_o condemn_v they_o all_o and_o that_o they_o can_v

until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o scare_v us._n by_o his_o promise_n he_o call_v we_o gentle_o and_o after_o a_o fatherly_a manner_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o make_v we_o

then_o that_o upon_o god_n make_v of_o the_o promise_n man_n have_v cause_n
we_o know_v that_o the_o great_a number_n perish_v in_o their_o sin_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o why_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n

according_a as_o saint_n john_n say_v that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v

that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n favourable_a and_o merciful_a to_o we_o we_o must_v bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o only_a faith_n no_o but_o only_a faith_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o

if_o the_o angel_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v before_o god_n they_o can_v not_o answer_v to_o that_o perfection_n of_o rightuousnesse_n &_o much_o less_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o which_o

faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o till_o the_o faith_n be_v revel_v here_o the_o word_n law_n and_o faith_n will_v be_v somewhat_o darksome_a if_o

at_o all_o adventure_n but_o accept_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o offer_v us._n then_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n promise_n depend_v not_o upon_o our_o desert_n but_o be_v altogether_o free_o and_o

or_o how_o we_o may_v come_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o
they_o be_v both_o one_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o but_o in_o this_o text_n the_o word_n faith_n have_v yet_o a_o more_o peculiar_a signification_n which_o be_v the_o revelation_n or_a

already_o that_o abraham_n be_v iustify_v because_o he_o believe_v god_n &_o that_o we_o also_o must_v be_v fashion_v like_o to_o his_o example_n in_o that_o behalf_n as_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v his_o child_n to_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n then_o have_v faith_n his_o full_a strength_n at_o all_o time_n and_o there_o never_o be_v any_o other_o mean_n to_o set_v god_n and_o man_n at_o one_o but_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o faith_n revel_v in_o abraham_n time_n because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o very_a pledge_n and_o substance_n thereof_o be_v not_o

believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n 10_o have_v all_o the_o whole_a and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n our_o believe_v with_o our_o hart_n make_v we_o ryghtuouse_a and_o our_o confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n make_v we_o safe_a but_o now_o have_v abraham_n have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n discover_v unto_o

with_o we_o but_o it_o be_v yet_o after_o a_o sort_n overcover_v that_o be_v to_o say_v although_o abraham_n trust_v in_o jesus_n christ_n hope_v for_o salvation_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o although_o he_o utter_o disinherit_v himself_o know_v that_o there_o be_v virtue_n in_o he_o that_o may_v go_v for_o payment_n before_o god_n yet_o be_v he_o hold_v still_o under_o shadow_n &_o be_v fain_o to_o

saint_n paul_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v namely_o that_o the_o convenient_a time_n of_o the_o revel_a of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v nowadays_o by_o the_o

that_o abraham_n perceive_v how_o it_o stand_v he_o on_o hand_n to_o put_v his_o whole_a trust_n in_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n give_v over_o himself_o and_o so_o his_o believe_v be_v reckon_v

fantastical_a fellow_n which_o think_v they_o may_v be_v faithful_a without_o reading_n or_o preach_n bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ought_v to_o reveal_v himself_o too_o

for_o a_o special_a point_n that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v indever_n too_o profit_n in_o god_n word_n because_o that_o that_o be_v the_o place_n where_o all_o our_o

to_o day_n receyve_v that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n let_v we_o become_v true_a child_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o much_o for_o that_o point_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o we_o must_v discern_v and_o not_o be_v as_o beast_n that_o be_v drive_v over_o marise_n and_o overthwart_o the_o wide_a field_n but_o consider_v which_o be_v the_o church_n according_a as_o

we_o be_v no_o better_a than_o dust_n and_o smoke_n when_o we_o see_v such_o thing_n let_v we_o wait_v patient_o till_o god_n gather_v together_o those_o who_o he_o have_v choose_v and_o let_v it_o content_v we_o that_o he_o avow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n though_o the_o world_n disdeyn_a we_o and_o shake_v we_o off_o after_o that_o sort_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o must_v not_o bring_v

why_o for_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o as_o a_o father_n with_o his_o child_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o freedom_n wherein_o we_o must_v stand_v except_o we_o will_v be_v separate_v from_o our_o

of_o that_o freedom_n be_v too_o be_v able_a too_o carry_v a_o cheerful_a and_o quiet_a mind_n before_o god_n for_o without_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v the_o hart_n to_o obey_v he_o but_o

and_o when_o i_o resort_v to_o he_o i_o may_v come_v with_o my_o head_n bolt_n upright_o as_o have_v my_o quit_v est_fw-la and_o clear_a discharge_n which_o be_v give_v i_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n

far_o oversee_v as_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o have_v perform_v the_o whole_a law_n then_o if_o all_o of_o we_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o offence_n against_o god_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o

upon_o this_o text_n where_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v make_v unprofitable_a if_o man_n hope_v to_o justify_v themselves_o by_o the_o law_n for_o it_o have_v be_v too_o common_a a_o error_n in_o all_o age_n that_o at_o the_o first_o set_v forth_o and_o first_o brunt_n man_n will_v needs_o pay_v god_n all_o that_o be_v due_a too_o he_o and_o in_o the_o end_n seek_v

all_o except_o we_o seek_v the_o fullness_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v we_o he_o as_o a_o help_n to_o

will_v well_o enough_o grant_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v untoo_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o welfare_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n

the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n be_v let_v alone_o and_o no_o man_n make_v account_n of_o he_o but_o they_o rather_o hie_v they_o to_o some_o stock_n or_o stone_n which_o they_o call_v their_o

the_o one_o be_v that_o what_o soever_o god_n have_v at_o any_o time_n promise_v we_o be_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a goodness_n for_o a_o inheritance_n be_v not_o a_o wage_n or_o hire_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o father_n in_o give_v his_o child_n their_o heritage_n may_v well_o say_v see_v how_o i_o take_v pain_n for_o you_o mark_v what_o shall_v come_v of_o it_o you_o shall_v have_v my_o

too_o provide_v for_o such_o as_o be_v so_o ally_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o heritage_n be_v thing_n of_o free_a gift_n among_o man_n we_o must_v not_o take_v eternal_a life_n as_o a_o deserve_a

give_v we_o a_o inkling_n that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o utter_o reject_v of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o can_v no_n not_o even_o in_o this_o transitory_a life_n enjoy_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o by_o the_o only_a mere_a grace_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o sun_n shine_v as_o well_o upon_o the_o faithless_a as_o upon_o the_o faithful_a and_o all_o man_n be_v nurrish_v alike_o

the_o manner_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v to_o term_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o

bear_v with_o the_o fault_n of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o well_o confirm_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o be_v requisite_a too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v bring_v they_o back_o again_o into_o

any_o fault_n we_o shall_v as_o it_o be_v plunge_v he_o in_o despair_n and_o this_o be_v see_v too_o much_o for_o that_o cause_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o meekness_n or_o

our_o friend_n have_v offend_v god_n in_o so_o much_o that_o even_o when_o he_o have_v give_v some_o cause_n of_o stumble_v we_o let_v it_o slip_v because_o we_o be_v loath_a too_o purchase_v his_o displeasure_n by_o rebuke_v he_o and_o now_o adays_o you_o see_v that_o the_o common_a way_n of_o maynteyn_v friendship_n in_o the_o world_n as_o too_o give_v leave_v and_o licence_n of_o all_o misdo_v through_o divelishe_a dissimulation_n for_o no_o man_n can_v abide_v too_o have_v his_o gall_a back_n rub_v neither_o do_v any_o man_n take_v warning_n in_o good_a worth_n save_v they_o who_o

from_o the_o fountain_n which_o be_v too_o beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o too_o hasty_a in_o find_v fault_n we_o wot_v not_o why_o nor_o too_o what_o end_n but_o that_o we_o have_v a_o care_n too_o

that_o god_n may_v be_v serve_v of_o we_o all_o and_o maintain_v in_o his_o state_n if_o we_o be_v so_o mind_v sure_o the_o rest_n will_v follow_v after_o but_o under_o the_o word_n spirit_n we_o be_v warn_v moreover_o as_o i_o say_v even_o now_o that_o we_o must_v be_v fashion_v like_o untoo_o god_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o choose_v we_o for_o his_o child_n accordingly_z as_z our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n tell_v we_o say_v be_v you_o like_v untoo_o your_o heavenly_a father_n 45._o who_o have_v pity_n even_o on_o they_o that_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o wherefore_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v hilde_n and_o avow_a for_o god_n child_n let_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o he_o which_o call_v we_o too_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o own_o image_n which_o be_v that_o we_o be_v meeld_v and_o gentle_a now_o god_n in_o his_o gentleness_n flatter_v not_o such_o as_o have_v do_v amiss_o for_o he_o hate_v iniquity_n and_o must_v needs_o always_o show_v himself_o a_o enemy_n to_o it_o but_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v namely_o that_o god_n do_v in_o such_o wise_a correct_v his_o child_n 6._o that_o the_o chastizement_n which_o he_o use_v begin_v at_o his_o own_o house_n 17._o and_o at_o his_o own_o household_n folk_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o thunder_v not_o against_o poor_a sinner_n but_o wait_v for_o they_o patient_o encourage_v they_o

if_o they_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o first_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v be_v that_o we_o must_v fashion_v our_o 〈…〉_o example_n of_o our_o god_n so_o as_o we_o oppress_v 〈…〉_o the_o first_o dathe_n in_o who_o we_o see_v any_o infirmity_n but_o rather_o labour_v to_o win_v they_o because_o they_o be_v as_o lose_v soul_n and_o hereupon_o we_o may_v also_o gather_v that_o such_o as_o nowadays_o will_v have_v vice_n cloak_v yea_o and_o bear_v out_o under_o pretence_n that_o god_n be_v patient_a and_o gentle_a do_v false_o corrupt_v the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o nowadays_o if_o never_o so_o detestable_a crime_n be_v commit_v by_o and_o by_o they_o allege_v mercy_n o_o they_o must_v be_v pity_v yea_o but_o such_o folk_n blaspheme_v god_n in_o that_o they_o will_v have_v we_o too_o be_v more_o merciful_a than_o he_o be_v sure_o we_o know_v he_o too_o be_v the_o welspringâ—_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o if_o

god_n promise_v not_o his_o grace_n but_o to_o such_o as_o return_v untoo_o he_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o touch_v they_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o change_v their_o mind_n but_o yet_o must_v repentance_n always_o be_v match_v with_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n now_o after_o what_o manner_n be_v it_o that_o man_n will_v be_v pitiful_a it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v mock_v god_n too_o his_o face_n that_o man_n shall_v wink_v at_o their_o lewdness_n yea_o and_o soothe_v they_o up_o in_o it_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v reject_v and_o that_o such_o as_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v still_o

after_o that_o fashion_n then_o according_a to_o saint_n paul_n exhortation_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o bring_v a_o mekenesse_n that_o may_v be_v of_o god_n spirit_n not_o too_o allow_v of_o the_o

〈…〉_o god_n and_o if_o i_o mind_n to_o tell_v a_o man_n his_o fault_n i_o come_v not_o to_o he_o in_o 〈◊〉_d private_a name_n as_o his_o superior_a but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n now_o then_o see_v

again_o as_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n and_o herewithal_o we_o must_v mark_v also_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o such_o as_o be_v sape_v in_o wickedness_n in_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o in_o rebelliousnesse_n but_o of_o such_o as_o be_v overtake_v so_o as_o they_o have_v some_o good_a will_n to_o do_v well_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v fall_n through_o infirmity_n therefore_o this_o matter_n must_v be_v handle_v very_o skilful_o and_o discrete_o for_o if_o we_o will_v deal_v alike_o with_o all_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v oftentimes_o do_v wrong_a too_o such_o as_o have_v need_n too_o be_v bear_v withal_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n do_v nothing_o but_o inflame_v the_o despyzer_n of_o god_n and_o make_v they_o more_o malapart_n than_o they_o be_v before_o then_o as_o i_o say_v we_o must_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o when_o the_o prophet_n ezechiell_n speak_v of_o the_o good_a shepherd_n 4_o he_o say_v that_o he_o must_v bear_v with_o the_o sheep_n that_o be_v weak_a and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o be_v infect_v he_o must_v

to_o be_v a_o shepherd_n in_o so_o do_v in_o like_a case_n be_v it_o with_o all_o such_o as_o deal_v with_o the_o rebuke_v of_o their_o neighbour_n that_o have_v do_v amiss_o as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o shameless_a naughtipacke_n that_o daily_o run_v headlong_o into_o all_o naughtiness_n which_o make_v none_o account_v of_o god_n word_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o mar_v other_o
