with_o as_o little_a cost_n or_o trouble_v to_o he_o as_o if_o he_o give_v he_o nothing_o but_o because_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o take_v a_o trial_n how_o well_o and_o love_o man_n will_v bestow_v

tell_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o little_a bread_n to_o comfort_v they_o that_o way_n his_o meaning_n be_v to_o make_v they_o good_a cheer_n but_o least_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o put_v

therefore_o he_o give_v they_o occasion_n to_o come_v that_o way_n we_o see_v how_o courteous_o he_o behave_v himself_o towards_o they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v behold_v to_o they_o and_o not_o they_o to_o he_o for_o come_v into_o his_o house_n it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n not_o to_o be_v somewhat_o insolent_a and_o to_o think_v that_o they_o may_v somewhat_o over_o look_v the_o party_n to_o

have_v assurance_n that_o god_n do_v love_v we_o which_o love_n of_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o he_o then_o may_v we_o give_v cheerful_o 8_o and_o god_n be_v able_a to_o make_v all_o grace_n to_o abound_v towards_o you_o that_o you_o always_o have_v all_o sufficiency_n in_o all_o thing_n may_v abound_v in_o every_o good_a work_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o uncheerefulnesse_n in_o the_o giver_n be_v because_o he_o fear_v himself_o shall_v want_v the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o that_o god_n be_v of_o tha_z power_n that_o they_o need_v not_o fear_v any_o such_o matter_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v enough_o both_o for_o themselves_o and_o other_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o error_n be_v because_o man_n do_v not_o believe_v the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n tell_v the_o saducee_n he_o do_v first_o therefore_o commend_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o they_o and_o afterward_o the_o scripture_n the_o principal_a prop_n that_o abraham_n have_v to_o uphold_v his_o faith_n be_v to_o persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o which_o promise_v be_v able_a also_o to_o perform_v in_o all_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v persuade_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n for_o how_o shall_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n but_o by_o beleve_v that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o high_a do_v overshadow_v she_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o the_o other_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o have_v therefore_o the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n to_o warrant_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o believe_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o to_o reason_v only_o from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v when_o they_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n because_o god_n be_v able_a to_o make_v it_o so_o for_o christ_n can_v have_v turn_v stone_n into_o bread_n as_o satan_n will_v have_v have_v he_o to_o have_v do_v but_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o so_o that_o although_o it_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o reason_n from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v already_o certify_v of_o his_o willingness_n in_o the_o thing_n yet_o when_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v of_o his_o willingness_n in_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o speak_v of_o his_o power_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o have_v his_o body_n to_o be_v make_v of_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n that_o the_o heaven_n must_v hold_v he_o until_o his_o second_o come_v the_o word_n of_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n wrought_v they_o be_v apparent_a to_o the_o outward_a sense_n of_o man_n in_o so_o much_o that_o they_o be_v astonish_v and_o say_v we_o never_o see_v the_o like_a in_o israel_n in_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n see_v in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o transubstantiation_n but_o in_o a_o thousand_o place_n we_o be_v teach_v that_o god_n will_v abundant_o recompense_v the_o liberal_a person_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v good_a although_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v not_o good_a the_o lord_n be_v able_a to_o fill_v they_o will_v all_o sufficiency_n for_o he_o be_v call_v the_o god_n of_o all_o sufficient_a by_o sufficiency_n he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o their_o own_o use_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o soul_n and_o body_n for_o we_o see_v how_o many_o torment_n themselves_o that_o have_v not_o a_o content_a mind_n they_o be_v never_o satisfy_v for_o he_o that_o love_v silver_n shall_v never_o be_v satisfy_v with_o silver_n as_o ecclesiastes_n say_v neither_o shall_v such_o have_v any_o use_n of_o that_o they_o have_v ecclesiaste_v 5._o 9_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o who_o heart_n god_n fill_v with_o sufficiency_n have_v as_o much_o joy_n continual_o as_o any_o other_o man_n have_v for_o that_o little_a time_n he_o be_v at_o a_o feast_n prov._n 15._o 15._o for_o the_o lord_n therefore_o to_o give_v we_o a_o content_a mind_n be_v a_o great_a benefit_n even_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o own_o private_a use_n but_o the_o sufficiency_n that_o be_v here_o

sufficiency_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o nam_o to_o abound_v in_o every_o good_a work_n we_o see_v what_o good_a thought_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n when_o
