too_o each_o man_n by_o certain_a measure_n &_o not_o to_o every_o man_n alike_o but_o as_o he_o himself_o think_v good_a he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v by_o our_o lord_n lesus_fw-la christ_n

for_o he_o god_n have_v not_o give_v he_o his_o spirit_n by_o measure_n and_o why_o for_o he_o be_v the_o head_n and_o every_o man_n must_v take_v his_o lyvelines_n from_o thence_o and_o he_o therewithal_o have_v all_o power_n over_o we_o wherefore_o let_v we_o be_v content_v that_o every_o of_o we_o have_v his_o portion_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o fear_n before_o god_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o perfectness_n be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 16._o because_o god_n spirit_n rest_v in_o he_o and_o both_o great_a and_o small_a must_v be_v fain_o too_o

that_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o good_a thing_n furthermore_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o too_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a in_o this_o world_n &_o prove_v the_o same_o by_o his_o wonder_n miracle_n and_o gift_n yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o show_v himself_o too_o be_v the_o very_a party_n in_o deed_n which_o have_v commission_n of_o god_n his_o father_n 8._o too_o deal_v unto_o we_o all_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o seven_o of_o saint_n john_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o yet_o give_v 39_o because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o yet_o glorify_v it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o our_o lord_n wrought_v even_o then_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n 16._o for_o when_o saint_n peter_n confess_v he_o too_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n it_o be_v answer_v he_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v not_o revel_v this_o thing_n unto_o thou_o but_o my_o heavenly_a father_n too_o be_v short_a we_o know_v well_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o we_o and_o that_o the_o good_a which_o god_n give_v we_o be_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v commit_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o it_o belong_v too_o he_o too_o deal_v forth_o his_o doctrine_n unto_o we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v his_o office_n and_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o special_a commission_n too_o deal_v his_o gift_n unto_o we_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v a_o cause_n also_o why_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o god_n spirit_n rest_v upon_o he_o namely_o too_o show_v that_o if_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o he_o we_o must_v needs_o perish_v as_o it_o be_v through_o drought_n and_o emptiness_n but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o his_o point_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v then_o pour_v out_o upon_o all_o the_o faithful_a when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o other_o text_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n leave_v the_o world_n and_o be_v receive_v up_o into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v thenfforth_o enjoy_v his_o good_n so_o much_o the_o better_o and_o that_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v too_o his_o disciple_n 7._o it_o be_v erpedient_a for_o you_o that_o i_o go_v away_o for_o if_o i_o tarry_v still_o with_o you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v well_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a fashion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v not_o dispute_v of_o this_o matter_n after_o our_o own_o fancy_n ●_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v humble_v for_o a_o time_n yea_o and_o utter_o empty_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o at_o length_n again_o hereafter_o but_o yet_o be_v he_o receive_v into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n too_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v have_v soverein_o dominion_n and_o be_v so_o exalt_v as_o all_o creature_n may_v stoop_v too_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_n be_v to_o absent_v himself_o from_o we_o in_o his_o body_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v the_o better_o feel_v his_o presence_n through_o his_o dwell_n in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o as_o now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o go_v up_o and_o give_v his_o gift_n too_o man_n after_o he_o have_v lead_v away_o his_o enemy_n prisoner_n now_o this_o text_n which_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o threescore_o and_o eight_o psalm_n show_v that_o god_n be_v very_o exalt_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o deed_n in_o that_o song_n david_n preach_v and_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n because_o that_o

and_o why_o for_o sith_o we_o can_v have_v neither_o life_n nor_o soul_n health_n nor_o righteousness_n nor_o ought_v else_o that_o be_v allowable_a but_o in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o utter_a naughtiness_n and_o destruction_n in_o ourselves_o he_o add_v thereunto_o the_o common_a weal_n of_o israel_n show_v thereby_o that_o all_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v too_o the_o jew_n be_v ground_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o belong_v not_o too_o his_o body_n be_v forthwith_o deprive_v of_o

instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

the_o more_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o mark_v well_o all_o the_o text_n wherein_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o when_o we_o once_o know_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n what_o power_n he_o have_v and_o what_o treasure_n he_o utter_v towards_o we_o then_o we_o have_v the_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o without_o jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v nothing_o and_o very_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v the_o more_o provoke_v thereunto_o by_o the_o example_n of_o those_o which_o name_n themselves_o christian_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o wot_v not_o too_o what_o saint_n too_o vow_v themselves_o as_o they_o say_v as_o for_o example_n see_v how_o the_o papist_n gad_n up_o and_o down_o without_o any_o certainty_n and_o be_v as_o reed_n that_o

furthermore_o he_o say_v if_o you_o have_v learn_v he_o well_o according_a as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o this_o be_v set_v down_o of_o purpose_n because_o there_o

of_o they_o that_o know_v in_o good_a earnest_n what_o belong_v too_o jesus_n christ._n too_o say_v that_o man_n may_v lawful_o eat_v flesh_n upon_o friday_n and_o too_o mock_v at_o all_o the_o

the_o very_a substance_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v not_o now_o adays_o only_o for_o s._n paul_n show_v well_o that_o even_o in_o his_o time_n many_o folk_n abuse_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n &_o

you_o be_v not_o quite_o strip_v out_o of_o he_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o a_o double_a garment_n about_o you_o before_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o labour_v the_o earnestly_o as_o now_o too_o lie_v away_o the_o residue_n that_o remain_v of_o it_o still_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o tell_v they_o also_o that_o it_o must_v not_o grieve_v they_o too_o be_v exhort_v

for_o too_o know_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o do_v this_o or_o that_o be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o we_o must_v also_o show_v that_o our_o life_n be_v well_o acquaint_v

then_o may_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v well_o learned_a but_o if_o our_o former_a life_n bewray_v we_o too_o have_v be_v as_o stray_v sheep_n or_o rather_o as_o utter_o peak_a away_o after_o

as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o there_o be_v a_o far_a other_o reason_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o for_o how_o enjoy_v we_o all_o the_o good_n and_o riches_n whereof_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a god_n
