paul_n speak_v that_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o i_o also_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o the_o gospel_n nor_o any_o thing_n which_o serve_v not_o too_o good_a purpose_n and_o whereby_o we_o may_v 〈◊〉_d be_v edify_v both_o in_o faith_n and_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o this_o doctrine_n 〈…〉_o contain_v there_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v it_o loud_a and_o shirle_z 〈◊〉_d therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v manichee_n which_o intend_v too_o nip_v and_o 〈…〉_o the_o gospel_n for_o look_v what_o like_v not_o they_o they_o do_v set_v it_o aside_o 〈…〉_o forge_a a_o gospel_n of_o diverse_a piece_n allow_v nothing_o but_o that_o 〈◊〉_d they_o themselves_o think_v good_a of_o now_o if_o such_o manner_n of_o 〈…〉_o

also_o which_o will_v now_o a_o day_n have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o election_n keep_v in_o silence_n for_o they_o will_v over-rule_v god_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a &_o stop_v his_o mouth_n as_o oft_o as_o he_o utter_v any_o thing_n that_o like_v not_o they_o again_o a_o man_n may_v evident_o see_v their_o beastliness_n in_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v not_o a_o better_a proof_n whereby_o too_o magnify_v god_n goodness_n than_o this_o then_o if_o there_o be_v none_o other_o reason_n yet_o be_v it_o better_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v go_v too_o confusion_n than_o that_o this_o doctrine_n shall_v be_v suppress_v with_o silence_n for_o be_v it_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v set_v the_o infinite_a treasure_n of_o his_o mercy_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o yet_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v speak_v of_o but_o be_v thrust_v under_o foot_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o two_o reason_n more_o which_o show_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o needful_a too_o be_v preach_v and_o that_o we_o reap_v so_o great_a profit_n by_o it_o as_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a that_o we_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v than_o too_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o thing_n that_o s._n paul_n show_v here_o for_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n whereat_o we_o must_v chief_o am_z and_o whereunto_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o apply_v all_o our_o wit_n and_o endeavour_n and_o they_o be_v the_o very_a sum_n of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o god_n teach_v we_o by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o one_o be_v the_o magnify_v of_o god_n as_o he_o deserve_v and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o assuredness_n of_o our_o salvation_n 15._o that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n with_o full_a liberty_n if_o we_o have_v not_o these_o two_o thing_n woe_n worth_a we_o for_o there_o be_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o we_o well_o may_v we_o talk_v of_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o lease_v as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o god_n grace_n be_v not_o sufficient_o know_v but_o by_o se●ting_v god_n election_n as_o it_o be_v before_o our_o eye_n for_o put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n draw_v all_o man_n alike_o and_o that_o such_o as_o intend_v too_o obtain_v salvation_n must_v come_v of_o their_o own_o free_a will_n and_o selfmoving_a if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o we_o deserve_v too_o be_v receive_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v handle_v every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o worthiness_n but_o wherein_o shall_v god_n goodness_n be_v magnify_v even_o in_o this_o that_o he_o prevent_v we_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a good_a will_n and_o love_v we_o nevertheless_o without_o find_v any_o thing_n either_o in_o we_o or_o in_o our_o work_v why_o he_o shall_v love_v we_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o must_v there_o needs_o be_v election_n so_o as_o god_n must_v take_v the_o one_o sort_n because_o he_o think_v it_o good_a so_o to_o do_v &_o leave_v the_o other_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o most_o assure_a point_n that_o god_n glory_n do_v not_o appear_v &_o shine_v forth_o as_o be_v requisite_a except_o it_o be_v know_v that_o he_o shed_v forth_o his_o goodness_n and_o love_n where_o it_o please_v he_o i_o say_v even_o now_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n be_v a_o singular_a benefit_n too_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o

for_o that_o god_n have_v foreordeyn_v they_o too_o salvation_n therefore_o at_o one_o word_n we_o see_v that_o all_o man_n deserve_v must_v cease_v and_o be_v lay_v under_o foot_n or_o else_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v his_o deserve_a praise_n yea_o and_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o faith_n come_v not_o of_o ourselves_o for_o if_o it_o do_v then_o shall_v there_o be_v some_o worthiness_n in_o our_o work_v true_a it_o be_v that_o by_o faith_n we_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o wretchedness_n in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v damn_v and_o accurse_a and_o that_o we_o bring_v

be_v possible_a therefore_o for_o because_o there_o have_v always_o be_v so_o many_o yea_o and_o to_o many_o that_o bring_v their_o own_o conscience_n a_o fleepe_n s._n paul_n in_o this_o place_n like_a as_o also_o in_o the_o ●●ft_n too_o the_o roman_n 〈…〉_o set_v down_o the_o tr●w_a peace_n which_o be_v that_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o must_v present_v ourselves_o before_o his_o

we_o repair_v as_o poor_a beggar_n unto_o god_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o atteynment_n of_o true_a peace_n and_o by_o the_o way_n also_o let_v we_o not_o think_v too_o gain_v any_o thing_n by_o be_v blockish_a ▪_o so_o we_o shall_v fall●_n sleep_v in_o this_o world_n but_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v no_o certain_a time_n appoint_v we_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o summon_v ourselves_o evening_n and_o morning_n before_o god_n and_o too_o examine_v our_o sin_n thorough_o and_o too_o be_v both_o sorry_a and_o ashamed_a of_o they_o when_o we_o have_v once_o learned_a too_o make_v war_n thus_o against_o our_o own_o vice_n and_o too_o ply_v it_o thorough_o without_o hypocrisy_n and_o counterfeit_n then_o be_v we_o in_o

from_o be_v strike_v with_o terror_n of_o their_o sin_n too_o be_v short_a they_o make_v themselves_o wilful_o drunken_a that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o senseless_a conscience_n and_o they_o bereave_v themselves_o of_o all_o understanding_n as_o though_o they_o be_v brute_n beast_n but_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o all_o our_o welfare_n consist_v in_o be_v able_a too_o have_v all_o our_o recourse_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o our_o come_n too_o he_o be_v certain_a also_o yea_o and_o that_o the_o way_n be_v open_a for_o we_o too_o go_v thither_o familiar_o sure_o then_o will_v we_o

if_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o as_o a_o mean_a to_o he_o now_o therefore_o for_o a_o three_o point_n s._n paul_n add_v that_o we_o must_v communicate_v all_o of_o one_o spirit_n for_o although_o the_o

and_o swine_n do_v othersome_a again_o be_v so_o sape_v in_o their_o hypocrisy_n that_o although_o god_n do_v call_v we_o all_o and_o allure_v we_o sweet_o too_o he_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n the_o number_n of_o they_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n be_v very_o small_a for_o this_o cause_n s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o must_v have_v god_n spirit_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o by_o

then_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o christ_n intend_v too_o distribute_v his_o gift_n by_o certain_a measure_n and_o thereupon_o we_o have_v too_o conclude_v that_o he_o which_o presume_v of_o himself_o

therefore_o too_o waken_v we_o thorough_o both_o from_o our_o slothfulness_n and_o from_o our_o retchlessness_n we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o see_v god_n have_v call_v we_o into_o his_o

that_o serve_v for_o one_o point_n again_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n must_v needs_o show_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o glory_n when_o he_o increase_v so_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o we_o by_o

already_o that_o that_o way_n ought_v too_o be_v obsern_v for_o there_o be_v two_o evil_a extremity_n but_o look_v whatsoever_o god_n have_v ordain_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o will_v always_o

very_a cause_n why_o s._n paul_n add_v that_o man_n shall_v bear_v one_o with_o another_o in_o charity_n or_o love_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v brother_n together_o there_o shall_v need_v none_o other_o rule_n than_o that_o too_o make_v we_o as_o well_o kind_a heart_a as_o also_o patient_a and_o low_o and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o he_o say_v in_o the_o thirteen_o

down_o these_o two_o point_n namely_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o our_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o then_o if_o we_o think_v too_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n and_o charity_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o the_o world_n may_v like_v well_o of_o we_o but_o all_o our_o

work_v all_o our_o work_v by_o she_o now_o then_o see_v that_o love_n be_v the_o true_a perfection_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o import_v for_o if_o a_o man_n brag_v that_o he_o have_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v neither_o lowliness_n nor_o gentleness_n nor_o patience_n he_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o liar_n who_o not_o

show_v we_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o namely_o first_o of_o all_o that_o we_o must_v beat_v down_o this_o pride_n which_o beguile_v we_o and_o make_v we_o doss_n with_o our_o horn_n against_o god_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v right_o hard_a for_o we_o too_o be_v low_o mind_v towards_o man_n when_o we_o can_v hold_v ourselves_o meek_o in_o obedience_n under_o god_n now_o then_o let_v we_o fight_v in_o such_o wise_n as_o all_o pride_n may_v be_v correct_v in_o we_o and_o therewithal_o enforce_v ourselves_o always_o too_o humility_n that_o we_o may_v be_v kind_a heart_a and_o fellowlyke_a with_o the_o faithful_a which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o bear_v one_o with_o another_o the_o very_a heathen_a man_n have_v the_o skill_n too_o say_v that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n too_o see_v the_o vice_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v patient_a towards_o other_o for_o why_o i_o have_v need_n too_o be_v bear_v withal_o myself_o and_o if_o i_o do_v not_o the_o

take_v hold_v of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v incomprehensible_a too_o man_n understanding_n &_o to_o be_v short_a 13._o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o extend_v high_a &_o low_a and_o deep_a and_o wide_o as_o we_o have_v see_v herteoofore_o now_o than_o if_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o consider_v what_o faith_n be_v &_o on_o the_o other_o side_n enter_v into_o ourselves_o and_o examine_v ourselves_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o find_v ourselves_o utter_o destitute_a of_o all_o goodness_n it_o be_v good_a reason_n we_o shall_v confess_v that_o until_o god_n give_v we_o faith_n we_o have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v upon_o this_o text_n as_o much_o be_v too_o be_v say_v of_o charity_n for_o be_v it_o not_o apparent_a that_o every_o man_n be_v wed_v too_o the_o love_n of_o himself_o ▪_o and_o that_o 〈◊〉_d affection_n ●arye_v we_o away_o so_o as_o we_o seek_v 〈◊〉_d own_o profit_n continual_o with_o the_o hindrance_n of_o other_o man_n and_o yet_o this_o lust_n and_o 〈…〉_o we_o can_v love_v our_o neighbour_n but_o will_v rather_o oppress_v they_o so_o then_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v charity_n from_o elsewhere_o and_o god_n must_v break_v the_o curse_a inclination_n that_o be_v in_o we_o namely_o the_o over_o excessive_a love_a of_o ourselves_o and_o moreover_o when_o we_o have_v so_o renounce_v ourselves_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o we_o be_v so_o indebt_v too_o our_o neighbour_n as_o we_o must_v endeavour_n too_o do_v our_o duty_n towards_o they_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o faith_n and_o charity_n be_v just_o call_v the_o special_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o saint_n paul_n do_v just_o in_o this_o text_n say_v charity_n and_o faith_n be_v unto_o you_o frow_fw-mi god_n our_o father_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o his_o wish_n be_v not_o make_v feign_o but_o that_o in_o say_v so_o he_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v have_v it_o at_o god_n hand_n wherefore_o let_v we_o lay_v down_o all_o foolish_a overween_a and_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o all_o the_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o we_o have_v be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o show_v and_o declare_v his_o liberality_n effectual_o towards_o we_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o the_o perfection_n of_o christian_n consist_v in_o faith_n and_o charity_n wherefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o belong_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o be_v worthy_a too_o be_v esteem_v and_o commend_v we_o have_v none_o of_o it_o of_o our_o own_o grow_v but_o it_o come_v too_o we_o from_o above_o 17._o according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o confess_v of_o our_o faith_n that_o neither_o flesh_n nor_o blood_n do_v show_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 25._o but_o the_o father_n reveal_v it_o too_o we_o and_o likewise_o also_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v 21._o father_n i_o thank_v thou_o that_o thou_o haste_v hide_v these_o thing_n from_o the_o wise_n and_o revel_v they_o too_o the_o little_a one_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v little_a one_o that_o we_o may_v be_v god_n scholar_n and_o too_o be_v fool_n in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o his_o wisdom_n and_o yield_v he_o honour_n according_a too_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o gift_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v receive_v of_o he_o and_o not_o be_v so_o wicked_a as_o too_o challenge_v the_o praise_n unto_o we_o which_o he_o do_v just_o and_o right_o reserve_v too_o himself_o howbeit_o saint_n paul_n match_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o god_n the_o father_n too_o do_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o can_v obtain_v nothing_o but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o he_o which_o have_v reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n for_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o be_v so_o corrupt_v in_o our_o nature_n as_o we_o be_v void_a of_o all_o goodness_n and_o full_o fraught_v with_o all_o vice_n and_o too_o be_v short_a that_o we_o be_v altogether_o abominable_a but_o for_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o estrange_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 9_o who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v he_o endue_v with_o all_o fullness_n of_o grace_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o father_n have_v not_o give_v he_o the_o spirit_n in_o some_o certain_a portion_n 〈…〉_o but_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o all_o of_o we_o may_v so_o draw_v out_o of_o he_o as_o we_o can_v not_o want_v any_o thing_n for_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n that_o can_v never_o be_v draw_v dry_a then_o can_v we_o not_o have_v one_o drop_n of_o spiritual_a gift_n but_o by_o flow_v down_o upon_o we_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a cundi●pype_n of_o they_o and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o have_v the_o office_n of_o give_v we_o at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n whatsoever_o i●_z requisite_n and_o necessary_a for_o our_o welfare_n in_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v our_o mediator_n as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n but_o also_o saint_n paul_n yield_v he_o here_o moreover_o that_o he_o give_v we_o faith_n and_o charity_n by_o his_o own_o authority_n and_o power_n for_o he_o set_v he_o in_o equal_a degree_n with_o his_o father_n now_o then_o let_v we_o
