know_v that_o the_o same_o time_n be_v come_v the_o prophet_n daniel_n come_v very_o never_o the_o matter_n nevertheless_o he_o speak_v thereof_o obscure_o and_o darck_o namely_o at_o what_o time_n christ_n shall_v suffer_v and_o die_v and_o when_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v so_o they_o have_v a_o undoubted_a prophecy_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o jew_n shall_v cease_v before_o christ_n do_v come_v but_o the_o day_n and_o certain_a time_n when_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v fulfil_v be_v not_o express_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o know_v that_o when_o that_o time_n be_v come_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o then_o far_o of_o so_o joel_n in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o his_o prophecy_n fore_o show_v the_o time_n when_o the_o holy_a

and_o thereby_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v foretell_v of_o that_o his_o time_n and_o those_o his_o brethren_n which_o then_o live_v hereby_o thou_o see_v with_o what_o diligence_n always_o the_o apostle_n render_v reason_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o preach_v and_o teach_v approve_v they_o same_o by_o the_o scripture_n but_o counsel_n and_o the_o pope_n will_v do_v all_o thing_n with_o we_o without_o the_o scripture_n command_v we_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o church_n and_o under_o pain_n of_o excommunication_n to_o believe_v they_o the_o apostle_n be_v replenish_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o be_v certain_a both_o that_o they_o be_v send_v of_o christ_n &_o also_o that_o they_o do_v preach_v the_o true_a and_o undoubted_a gospel_n yet_o do_v they_o humble_a and_o submit_v themselves_o thus_o far_o that_o they_o require_v to_o be_v believe_v in_o nothing_o which_o they_o do_v not_o prove_v sound_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v so_o as_o they_o affirm_v that_o the_o mouth_n of_o infidel_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o be_v able_a to_o say_v nothing_o against_o they_o with_o reason_n and_o shall_v we_o believe_v these_o gross_a and_o unlearned_a

shall_v thus_o err_v so_o long_o be_v it_o since_o it_o be_v so_o conclude_v wherefore_o of_o these_o thing_n there_o ought_v now_o no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v to_o any_o man_n we_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v certain_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n that_o none_o be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n so_o that_o these_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o speak_v any_o thing_n there_o against_o and_o also_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v unto_o we_o their_o childish_a trifle_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o namely_o that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o damnable_a ease_n which_o fa_v not_o this_o or_o that_o day_n and_o such_o like_a wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v neither_o ought_v we_o at_o any_o hand_n to_o believe_v they_o sainete_n peter_n now_o say_v moreover_o and_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v follow_v that_o which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o the_o apostle_n may_v be_v understand_v both_o of_o the_o affliction_n which_o christ_n himself_o suffer_v and_o also_o of_o those_o which_o we_o christian_n be_v his_o member_n do_v suffer_v for_o saint_n paul_n call_v that_o the_o suffer_n of_o christ_n which_o every_o christian_a do_v suffer_v as_o the_o affiance_n name_n word_n and_o work_v of_o christ_n be_v my_o forasmuch_o as_o i_o firm_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o be_v my_o affliction_n also_o he_o in_o asmuch_o as_o i_o be_o afflict_v for_o his_o sake_n wherefore_o the_o affliction_n of_o christ_n be_v daily_o accomplish_v in_o christian_n even_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n this_o now_o be_v no_o small_a comfort_n unto_o we_o that_o howsoever_o thing_n fall_v out_o we_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o our_o affliction_n be_v so_o common_a together_o with_o christ_n and_o we_o that_o he_o count_v they_o not_o otherwise_o then_o his_o own_o this_o also_o may_v not_o a_o little_a increase_n our_o comfort_n that_o glory_n shall_v undoubted_o follow_v these_o affliction_n howbeit_o we_o must_v know_v this_o also_o that_o as_o christ_n come_v not_o unto_o glory_n before_o he_o have_v suffer_v so_o we_o also_o must_v first_o bear_v the_o cross_n with_o he_o that_o we_o may_v afterwards_o rejoice_v together_o with_o he_o all_o thing_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o dode_v now_o preach_v the_o prophet_n have_v long_a since_o manifest_o declare_v and_o foretell_v that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v the_o holy_a ghost_n revel_v the_o same_o unto_o they_o now_o whereas_o we_o do_v so_o little_o understande_v the_o prophet_n the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o tongue_n wherein_o they_o do_v write_v for_o they_o have_v write_v very_o plain_o and_o manifest_o wherefore_o to_o they_o that_o be_v skilful_a of_o the_o tongue_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o undoubted_o all_o that_o believe_v have_v it_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o understande_v they_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o know_v where_o unto_o the_o whole_a scripture_n tend_v but_o where_o both_o the_o tongue_n be_v not_o understand_v and_o the_o spirit_n be_v want_v it_o appear_v not_o otherwise_o then_o if_o the_o prophet_n be_v mad_a or_o drunken_a howbeit_o if_o we_o shall_v want_v either_o of_o these_o it_o be_v far_o better_a to_o have_v the_o spirit_n without_o the_o tongue_n than_o the_o tongue_n without_o the_o spirit_n the_o prophet_n speak_v after_o a_o other_o sort_n than_o do_v the_o apostle_n yet_o do_v they_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o afterward_o the_o apostle_n preach_v for_o both_o show_n many_o thing_n of_o the_o affliction_n aswell_o of_o christ_n as_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o also_o of_o the_o glory_n that_o follow_v the_o same_o so_o david_n psal_n 22._o when_o he_o speak_v of_o christ_n in_o this_o sort_n i_o

they_o shall_v minister_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v now_o show_v unto_o you_o by_o they_o which_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n send_v down_o from_o heaven_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o prophet_n that_o they_o know_v these_o thing_n but_o in_o that_o they_o leave_v the_o same_o behind_o they_o in_o writing_n it_o be_v for_o out_o sake_n make_v

thus_o have_v we_o a_o sure_a help_n and_o strengthening_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o our_o further_a and_o better_a instruction_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o all_o false_a doctrine_n which_o thing_n the_o angel_n desire_v to_o behold_v so_o great_a thing_n have_v the_o apostle_n delare_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o come_v down_o upon_o they_o from_o heaven_n that_o even_o the_o very_a angel_n do_v desire_v to_o behold_v and_o see_v they_o here_o we_o must_v with_o great_a attention_n shut_v our_o eye_n and_o see_v what_o the_o gospel_n be_v wherein_o sure_o we_o can_v not_o but_o have_v exceed_a delight_n joy_n and_o consolation_n we_o can_v not_o yet_o see_v these_o thing_n with_o our_o bodily_a eye_n but_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o righteousness_n truth_n salvation_n and_o of_o all_o good_a thing_n which_o god_n have_v for_o inasmuche_o as_o he_o have_v give_v unto_o we_o christ_n his_o only_o beget_v son_n the_o fountain_n and_o head_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n how_o shall_v he_o not_o through_o and_o with_o he_o give_v we_o also_o all_o his_o good_a thing_n riches_n and_o treasure_n whereat_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n do_v take_v marvellous_a joy_n and_o delight_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o if_o we_o believe_v we_o must_v needs_o likewise_o take_v marvellous_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n therein_o howbeit_o our_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n while_o we_o live_v on_o the_o earth_n can_v not_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o that_o of_o the_o angel_n be_v for_o here_o
the_o same_o be_v this_o in_o effect_n which_o saint_n peter_n say_v in_o this_o place_n for_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v we_o certain_o look_v for_o eternal_a life_n although_o we_o live_v here_o on_o the_o earth_n yet_o no_o otherwise_o then_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v even_o therefore_o because_o he_o be_v rise_v again_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n for_o this_o cause_n do_v he_o ascend_v that_o he_o may_v give_v unto_o we_o his_o spirit_n whereby_o be_v regenerate_v we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o go_v to_o the_o father_n and_o say_v behold_v i_o come_v before_o thou_o o_o merciful_a father_n and_o pray_v unto_o thou_o not_o that_o i_o put_v any_o trust_n or_o confidence_n in_o any_o prayer_n of_o my_o own_o but_o for_o that_o my_o lord_n christ_n do_v make_v intercession_n for_o i_o and_o be_v my_o advocate_n all_o these_o word_n carry_v a_o ardent_a efficacy_n and_o

thereby_o we_o may_v here_o also_o judge_v and_o know_v which_o be_v sincere_a doctrine_n and_o true_a christian_a preach_v and_o which_o be_v not_o for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o the_o

whatsoever_o christ_n have_v either_o do_v or_o suffer_v shall_v be_v to_o we_o in_o no_o steed_n and_o therefore_o this_o manner_n of_o teach_v be_v most_o requisite_a behold_v christ_n have_v dye_v for_o we_o and_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o satisfy_v for_o we_o to_o the_o justice_n of_o his_o father_n against_o sin_n death_n and_o hell_n with_o who_o he_o have_v a_o most_o sharp_a and_o bitter_a

of_o they_o this_o if_o we_o steadfast_o believe_v we_o have_v a_o perfect_a assurance_n and_o full_a possession_n of_o all_o these_o benefit_n which_o be_v each_o way_n impossible_a to_o be_v bring_v
