our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n grant_v it_o too_o your_o father_n howbeit_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v fain_o too_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o with_o wild_a

must_v needs_o grant_v this_o principle_n that_o we_o have_v neither_o life_n nor_o gladness_n nor_o any_o good_a thing_n but_o only_o in_o god_n alone_o that_o be_v confess_v let_v we_o see_v by_o

too_o his_o death_n all_o man_n seem_v too_o have_v conspire_v against_o he_o therefore_o we_o must_v add_v all_o these_o quality_n too_o know_v how_o jesus_n christ_n descend_v into_o the_o low_a

you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n whereunto_o we_o must_v enforce_v ourselves_o if_o we_o purpose_v too_o please_v god_n be_v that_o be_v rid_v of_o all_o our_o own_o conceit_n and_o affection_n we_o get_v we_o a_o new_a guide_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n god_n spirit_n according_a whâ—â—untoo_o he_o use_v a_o like_a manner_n of_o sentence_n in_o the_o twelve_o too_o the_o roman_n 2._o in_o

that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o we_o shall_v come_v of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o move_v we_o unto_o good_a it_o be_v he_o that_o bring_v we_o to_o it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o give_v

saint_n paul_n therefore_o mean_v not_o that_o we_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n as_o of_o our_o own_o power_n but_o yet_o that_o every_o of_o we_o ought_v too_o strain_v himself_o too_o follow_v

saint_n paul_n say_v that_o the_o new_a man_n be_v create_v after_o god_n and_o his_o image_n and_o therein_o he_o confirm_v the_o matter_n which_o i_o go_v about_o too_o touch_v that_o be_v too_o

overcome_v all_o the_o temptation_n that_o can_v cross_v we_o we_o must_v taste_v thorough_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o and_o set_v afore_o we_o and_o give_v such_o

for_o our_o benefit_n and_o welfare_n for_o we_o can_v reap_v no_o great_a profit_n of_o the_o serve_v of_o creature_n we_o must_v therefore_o resort_v always_o too_o our_o god_n and_o be_o at_o

they_o all_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v that_o our_o fight_a be_v not_o against_o flesh_n and_o blood_n by_o these_o word_n he_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o we_o have_v

it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o devil_n shall_v not_o have_v have_v any_o advantage_n over_o we_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v now_o overwhelm_v with_o darkness_n and_o become_v thrall_n of_o

will_v not_o otherwise_o agree_v but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n for_o saint_n paul_n pray_v not_o god_n too_o give_v faith_n too_o the_o faithless_a and_o charity_n too_o they_o that_o be_v fleshly_a but_o unto_o the_o brethren_n that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n now_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v god_n child_n already_o they_o be_v beget_v again_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a they_o have_v both_o faith_n and_o charity_n but_o herein_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o that_o god_n begin_v faith_n in_o we_o unless_o he_o continue_v in_o it_o too_o the_o end_n and_o that_o like_a as_o we_o call_v faith_n the_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o must_v he_o also_o make_v it_o too_o grow_v and_o increase_v day_n by_o day_n 29._o and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o say_n that_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o not_o only_o too_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o also_o too_o suffer_v for_o he_o therefore_o god_n give_v of_o faith_n unto_o we_o be_v not_o in_o such_o wise_n as_o that_o he_o do_v but_o only_o prepare_v we_o that_o we_o may_v believe_v the_o gospel_n if_o we_o list_v and_o that_o afterward_o we_o shall_v bring_v a_o consent_n of_o our_o own_o &_o go_v forward_o of_o ourselves_o by_o our_o own_o power_n no_o but_o when_o god_n have_v once_o dispose_v we_o too_o believe_v he_o must_v also_o give_v we_o such_o a_o affection_n as_o may_v touch_v we_o too_o the_o quick_a and_o afterward_o drive_v we_o forward_a and_o give_v we_o ability_n too_o persevere_v so_o as_o we_o may_v profit_v &_o go_v forward_o &_o be_v confirm_v even_o to_o the_o end_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v bring_v already_o into_o the_o good_a way_n and_o to_o who_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v say_v nevertheless_o that_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o further_o they_o &_o give_v they_o the_o gift_n to_o hold_v out_o even_o by_o grow_a more_o and_o more_o as_o well_o in_o faith_n as_o in_o love_n and_o thereby_o we_o have_v warning_n to_o pray_v god_n to_o increase_v &_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n and_o to_o inflame_v we_o with_o charity_n and_o therewithal_o to_o make_v we_o know_v our_o imperfection_n so_o as_o although_o we_o see_v a_o number_n that_o come_v not_o near_o we_o yet_o we_o conceive_v not_o any_o pride_n too_o stand_v in_o our_o own_o conceit_n as_o though_o we_o be_v come_v too_o faith_n already_o wherefore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v but_o in_o our_o way_n as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o enforce_v ourselves_o forward_o for_o what_o perfection_n of_o faith_n so_o ever_o we_o can_v find_v among_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n will_v find_v much_o amiss_o in_o it_o and_o how_o far_o forward_o soever_o we_o be_v and_o how_o well_o so_o ever_o we_o have_v profit_v in_o charity_n a_o man_n shall_v come_v far_o short_a of_o find_v that_o any_o of_o we_o have_v forget_v himself_o and_o thrust_v covetousness_n and_o ambition_n under_o

so_o let_v we_o learn_v as_o i_o say_v too_o know_v our_o own_o imperfection_n in_o such_o wise_n as_o we_o may_v mislike_v of_o ourselves_o for_o they_o and_o be_v induce_v thereby_o too_o do_v better_a than_o we_o have_v do_v hitherto_o and_o although_o man_n praise_n and_o commend_v we_o yet_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o confess_v with_o all_o humbleness_n and_o meekness_n that_o we_o be_v yet_o far_o short_a of_o attain_v too_o our_o mark_n now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v again_o grace_n be_v too_o all_o they_o that_o love_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n uncorrupt_o wherein_o

say_v for_o we_o see_v how_o few_o there_o be_v which_o love_n jesus_n christ_n right_o and_o sound_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o that_o pretend_v too_o holdwith_o the_o godspell_n be_v great_a

shall_v see_v they_o overshoot_v themselves_o in_o the_o turn_n of_o a_o hand_n as_o for_o example_n we_o see_v how_o the_o persecution_n now_o adays_o discover_v such_o as_o have_v not_o a_o lyvely_a
