make_v then selue_o unworthy_a of_o it_o for_o some_o be_v full_a of_o wiliness_n &_o malice_n like_o fox_n some_o be_v full_a of_o pride_n like_o lion_n some_o be_v like_o raven_a wolf_n that_o

off_o from_o the_o array_n &_o company_n of_o neighbour_n but_o in_o this_o case_n we_o may_v observe_v god_n order_n and_o although_o man_n on_o their_o side_n deserve_v not_o to_o be_v count_v &_o

god_n &_o his_o law_n and_o when_o we_o have_v regard_n of_o our_o own_o profit_n it_o be_v rather_o a_o love_a of_o ourselves_o than_o any_o point_n of_o charity_n for_o the_o mark_n that_o

that_o we_o be_v desirous_a to_o love_n god_n when_o we_o indever_n to_o do_v good_a even_o too_o they_o that_o be_v unworthy_a of_o it_o moreover_o the_o add_v of_o this_o say_n as_o ourselves_o be_v not_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v first_o love_v himself_o and_o then_o afterward_o love_v his_o neybour_n next_o but_o our_o lord_n mean_v too_o rip_v up_o the_o sore_a th●●_n hinder_v we_o too_o live_v in_o charity_n which_o be_v as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o if_o man_n be_v not_o so_o give_v to_o selfelove_n as_o they_o be_v there_o will_v be_v good_a love_n &_o agreement_n among_o all_o man_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v so_o much_o give_v to_o love_v ourselves_o and_o the_o excess_n of_o that_o affection_n blind_v we_o in_o such_o wise_a that_o it_o bereeve_v we_o of_o all_o reason_n equity_n and_o uprightness_n therefore_o god_n say_v that_o we_o must_v love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o for_o be_v not_o that_o say_v express_o we_o will_v talk_v much_o of_o love_v our_o neighbour_n &_o say_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v love_v but_o all_o will_v be_v but_o dissimulation_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o protest_v that_o they_o will_v their_o enemy_n no_o harm_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o wish_v they_o good_a and_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o procure_v they_o good_a but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n that_o god_n set_v down_o here_o &_o let_v every_o man_n look_v into_o himself_o &_o then_o let_v he_o judge_v whether_o he_o love_v himself_o to_o much_o or_o no_o or_o whether_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v towards_o his_o neighbour_n be_v not_o overfaynt_a &_o cold_a to_o be_v short_a here_o god_n mean_v to_o remedy_v the_o hypocrisy_n wherewith_o we_o be_v too_o much_o blind_v also_o he_o mean_v to_o waken_v man_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o leave_v their_o flatter_a of_o themselves_o when_o it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o you_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o but_o you_o must_v love_v your_o neighbour_n as_o yourselves_o and_o thereby_o we_o see_v how_o far_o we_o be_v wide_a from_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o fight_v against_o our_o own_o nature_n that_o we_o may_v obey_v god_n what_o be_v then_o the_o true_a exercise_n of_o christian_n it_o be_v to_o acknowledge_v &_o

bountiful_o yea_o and_o of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n 19_o for_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o call_v to_o mind_n how_o saint_n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n say_v that_o we_o love_v not_o

that_o we_o can_v do_v too_o he_o but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o yea_o even_o at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n and_o come_v even_o then_o to_o seek_v we_o out_o in_o the_o very_o deep_a of_o the_o bottomless_a dungeon_n and_o thereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o he_o do_v not_o dispize_n or_o shake_v off_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o knit_n uppe_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v hythertoo_o see_v for_o here_o he_o mean_v too_o show_v that_o the_o devil_n must_v needs_o possess_v those_o that_o make_v none_o account_v of_o god_n mercy_n that_o

to_o be_v full_o resolve_v in_o our_o mind_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o always_o to_o it_o without_o change_v this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n show_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o of_o his_o gospel_n that_o he_o have_v preach_v for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o

declare_v already_o it_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o s._n paul_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n in_o general_a except_o he_o have_v show_v therewith_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a &_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n can_v well_o enough_o away_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o very_o great_a estimation_n among_o we_o but_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n the_o gospel_n be_v and_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n chalendge_v that_o faithfulness_n of_o teach_v the_o gospel_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v change_v let_v the_o same_o be_v accurse_v and_o this_o yet_o again_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o when_o the_o papist_n read_v this_o place_n they_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o it_o and_o god_n also_o have_v dull_v they_o so_o as_o there_o be_v less_o wit_n in_o they_o than_o in_o little_a child_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o namely_o that_o paul_n mean_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v another_o gospel_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v write_v a_o book_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v write_v by_o he_o than_o they_o shall_v utter_o

whit_n of_o it_o gospel_n but_o they_o rather_o surmise_v that_o he_o have_v write_v some_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o any_o other_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o refuzall_n thereof_o the_o same_o that_o have_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o credit_n nor_o reputation_n but_o we_o see_v that_o in_o that_o case_n these_o wretched_a beast_n have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o understanding_n nor_o any_o taste_n at_o all_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v even_o to_o show_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_fw-la the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o will_v we_o be_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o accept_v what_o soever_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o his_o name_n but_o we_o must_v put_v that_o thing_n in_o ●re_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n 5_o which_o be_v too_o be_v able_a by_o herken_v unto_o his_o voice_n too_o discern_v his_o voice_n from_o

they_o may_v not_o profit_v too_o the_o common_a edify_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o if_o it_o be_v late_a ere_o we_o be_v call_v too_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v be_v sorry_a that_o we_o have_v spend_v our_o time_n so_o ill_o and_o special_o that_o we_o have_v live_v like_o wretched_a brute_n

therefore_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v sorry_a for_o that_o again_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n return_v that_o be_v go_v astray_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v such_o change_n too_o be_v a_o miracle_n of_o

too_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n have_v pass_v upon_o he_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o know_v what_o all_o man_n have_v be_v aforetimes_o and_o every_o man_n ought_v too_o be_v his_o own_o judge_n in_o that_o behalf_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v be_v slow_a in_o come_v untoo_o god_n if_o god_n work_v in_o he_o with_o such_o power_n as_o it_o be_v see_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o set_v he_o forewarder_n in_o one_o day_n than_o some_o other_o man_n in_o ten_o year_n his_o so_o do_v

what_o man_n have_v be_v aforetimes_o must_v not_o be_v to_o despyze_v they_o still_o for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n give_v he_o the_o bridle_n for_o a_o time_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o bring_v

too_o gross_a ignorance_n because_o they_o understande_v not_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o word_n person_n but_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n in_o voutchsafe_v too_o chooze_n

of_o the_o whole_a law_n when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o that_o sort_n of_o circumcision_n we_o must_v mark_v that_o he_o talk_v not_o according_a to_o god_n first_o institute_v of_o it_o for_o
