that_o we_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o death_n and_o that_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v our_o enemy_n yea_o even_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v conceive_v yet_o be_v not_o god_n cruel_a neither_o hate_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o his_o own_o make_n that_o be_v true_a if_o we_o have_v such_o pureness_n in_o we_o as_o be_v in_o our_o forefather_n adam_n according_a too_o this_o say_n that_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n make_v be_v good_a god_n then_o shall_v hate_v his_o own_o workmanship_n in_o we_o but_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o sith_o he_o hate_v we_o and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v arm_v to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o we_o all_o we_o have_v well_o deserve_v it_o and_o that_o although_o sin_n can_v be_v point_a out_o with_o the_o ●inger_n as_o you_o will_v say_v yet_o do_v god_n know_v

paul_n meaning_n for_o if_o the_o jew_n which_o seem_v too_o have_v or_o aught_o too_o have_v some_o peculiar_a prerogative_n be_v nevertheless_o include_v under_o the_o general_a state_n of_o man_n what_o can_v we_o allege_v which_o be_v bear_v gentile_n if_o we_o will_v presume_v too_o bring_v any_o bravery_n before_o god_n so_o then_o we_o have_v well_o wherewith_o to_o be_v confound_v double_a see_v that_o they_o in_o comparison_n of_o who_o we_o be_v nothing_o have_v notwithstanding_o no_o entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o by_o his_o only_a free_a mercy_n an●_z by_o be_v reconcile_v by_o mean_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n but_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o question_n or_o doubt_v more_o for_o how_o shall_v the_o jew_n be_v god_n enemy_n see_v he_o have_v avow_a himself_o already_a to_o be_v their_o father_n some_o man_n will_v say_v that_o the_o see_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v figure_v and_o the_o truth_n ●nd_v substance_n of_o they_o remain_v as_o yet_o too_o be_v accomplish_v but_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v yet_o further_o that_o although_o god_n have_v adopt_v the_o jew_n in_o abraham_n yet_o they_o be_v receive_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o that_o grace_n be_v ground_v upon_o he_o according_a too_o this_o say_n in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v bliss_v 28_o and_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o

asunder_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v marvel_v that_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o jew_n into_o the_o church_n as_o well_o as_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v father_v here_o by_o saint_n paul_n upon_o the_o only_a free_a bestow_v goodness_n of_o god._n howbeit_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n which_o be_v not_o too_o be_v forget_v which_o be_v that_o although_o the_o jew_n have_v obtain_v such_o grace_n yet_o they_o abide_v in_o suspen_v till_o the_o come_n of_o the_o redeemer_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o shall_v see_v in_o another_o place_n that_o those_o which_o be_v near_o and_o those_o that_o be_v far_o of_o be_v reconcile_v by_o he_o for_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o atonement_n too_o be_v make_v with_o god_n without_o shed_v of_o blood_n now_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o put_v away_o sin_n 22._o nor_o pacify_v god_n wrath_n and_o curse_v when_o man_n offer_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o ox_n or_o of_o a_o calf_n or_o of_o a_o lamb_n it_o be_v not_o too_o make_v atonement_n with_o god_n there_o be_v no_o such_o power_n in_o the_o brute_n beast_n for_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v corruptible_a attain_v not_o too_o the_o soul_n therefore_o it_o be_v too_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v god_n child_n by_o hope_n and_o yet_o that_o they_o be_v utter_o separate_v from_o he_o till_o the_o atonement_n be_v make_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o redeemer_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n do_v god_n show_v himself_o favourable_a towards_o they_o as_o he_o do_v towards_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o do_v s._n paul_n add_v that_o god_n be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n have_v quicken_v they_o as_o he_o do_v the_o gentile_n even_o according_a too_o his_o great_a love_n wherewith_o he_o love_v they_o the_o chief_a point_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o morning_n that_o s._n paul_n handle_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v learn_v too_o be_v ashamed_a yea_o and_o too_o loath_a our_o own_o wretchedness_n by_o resort_v too_o our_o original_n and_o by_o consider_v in_o what_o plight_n god_n find_v we_o and_o out_o of_o what_o a_o dungeon_n we_o pass_v when_o god_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o second_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v magnify_v his_o goodness_n so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o it_o be_v a_o uncredible_a thing_n that_o he_o shall_v vouchsafe_v too_o cause_v the_o doctrine_n of_o life_n too_o come_v down_o too_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n too_o quicken_v we_o for_o we_o be_v sink_v down_o thither_o therefore_o we_o must_v mark_v well_o these_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n quicken_v we_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a according_a too_o the_o great_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o trew_n it_o be_v that_o this_o title_n may_v always_o agree_v unto_o god_n because_o he_o neither_o abate_v nor_o increase_v and_o so_o shall_v god_n be_v evermore_o rich_a in_o goodness_n but_o we_o must_v therewithal_o mark_v the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n and_o the_o matter_n that_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o here_o which_o be_v that_o god_n have_v utter_v the_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o his_o mercy_n upon_o we_o according_a too_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n also_o he_o add_v the_o great_a love_n wherewith_o he_o love_v us._n for_o needs_o must_v there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o goodness_n in_o god_n as_o be_v able_a to_o ravish_v we_o see_v it_o surmount_v all_o our_o capacity_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o taste_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o it_o though_o we_o give_v ourselves_o never_o so_o much_o unto_o it_o and_o why_o for_o when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o god_n love_v we_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o himself_o and_o of_o such_o like_a which_o have_v be_v choose_v from_o among_o that_o people_n when_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v cut_v of_o for_o although_o the_o jew_n be_v the_o first_o bear_v and_o have_v pre-eminence_n above_o we_o as_o by_o right_a of_o inheritance_n &_o that_o we_o be_v but_o as_o silly_a thing_n bear_v out_o of_o season_n 8._o as_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o himself_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o they_o be_v now_o banish_v from_o god_n kingdom_n and_o be_v become_v as_o a_o precedent_n that_o ought_v too_o make_v the_o hair_n stand_v up_o upon_o our_o head_n when_o we_o behold_v the_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n of_o god_n that_o be_v utter_v upon_o they_o therefore_o whereas_o s._n paul_n and_o some_o small_a number_n more_o be_v choose_v from_o among_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v through_o god_n love_n which_o have_v the_o great_a appearance_n towards_o they_o likewise_o now_o adays_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v pure_o through_o the_o whole_a world_n &_o faith_n give_v indifferent_o too_o all_o man_n so_o as_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o shall_v be_v touch_v immediate_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o all_o of_o we_o be_v alike_o it_o woold_v seem_v to_o be_v as_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o like_v as_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n so_o it_o woold_v seem_v that_o we_o have_v this_o of_o our_o own_o natural_a motion_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n but_o when_o we_o see_v so_o many_o country_n hunger-starved_a so_o as_o there_o rain_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o good_a doctrine_n upon_o they_o but_o rather_o the_o wretched_a people_n be_v feed_v with_o lie_n and_o trumpery_n of_o satan_n and_o that_o on_o the_o other_o side_n god_n inlyghten_v we_o here_o and_o water_v we_o with_o his_o word_n whereof_o come_v that_o but_o of_o the_o great_a love_n whereof_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o again_o many_o man_n have_v their_o ear_n beat_v with_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v apparent_a too_o man_n eye_n that_o they_o become_v hard_o heart_v by_o it_o and_o wax_v worse_a and_o worse_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o see_v so_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

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

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

we_o learn_v too_o father_n it_o altogether_o upon_o god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o too_o be_v god_n child_n and_o heir_n it_o behove_v we_o too_o be_v of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

a_o presumptuousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o make_v so_o many_o overween_a folk_n too_o break_v their_o own_o neck_n for_o that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o grant_v that_o god_n govern_v man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o will_n as_o of_o good_a right_a he_o may_v full_o well_o furthermore_o also_o s._n paul_n have_v heretofore_o set_v the_o jew_n and_o

you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n say_v express_o that_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o time_n past_a be_v comprehend_v under_o god_n election_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o &_o

they_o bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n therefore_o like_v as_o in_o those_o text_n s._n paul_n have_v show_v that_o man_n beguile_v themselves_o if_o they_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v any_o desert_n or_o worthiness_n in_o they_o so_o now_o for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o too_o take_v away_o all_o dispute_v and_o too_o

before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o effect_n be_v that_o all_o man_n from_o the_o most_o too_o the_o least_o be_v

the_o like_a must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n jesus_n christ_n must_v rule_v and_o all_o man_n must_v quiet_o obey_v he_o and_o so_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o this_o text_n first_o that_o our_o salvation_n do_v so_o depend_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o angel_n nor_o man_n how_o holy_a soever_o they_o be_v which_o have_v not_o need_v too_o receive_v at_o his_o

instrument_n or_o covenant_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hudder_v mudther_n but_o have_v pass_v a_o solemn_a conveyance_n or_o evidence_n which_o serve_v too_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n in_o condemnation_n therefore_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v advance_v abraham_n lineage_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confound_v like_a as_o if_o some_o prince_n or_o some_o city_n shall_v make_v a_o league_n all_o other_o that_o

here_o too_o bethink_v ourselves_o furthermore_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o be_v short_a witted_a in_o magnify_v god_n grace_n let_v we_o weigh_v well_o this_o word_n which_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o remembrance_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v forget_v for_o when_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o too_o give_v we_o some_o good_a

be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v importunate_a 1._o according_a too_o the_o similitude_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o widow_n which_o have_v too_o do_v with_o a_o judge_n that_o

say_v we_o must_v be_v importunate_a upon_o our_o god_n not_o that_o he_o be_v slow_a in_o succour_v we_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o because_o he_o will_v try_v the_o constancy_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o they_o that_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o fall_n to_o stomack_v chafe_a and_o impatiency_n if_o he_o relieve_v they_o not_o out_o of_o hand_n do_v not_o pray_v unto_o he_o but_o as_o you_o will_v

likewise_o too_o morrow_n for_o those_o that_o may_v come_v then_o and_o so_o we_o must_v pray_v ordinary_o every_o day_n and_o besides_o this_o if_o god_n listen_v not_o too_o deliver_v we_o so_o

go_v out_o of_o ourselves_o too_o employ_v ourselves_o in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n yea_o though_o we_o do_v nothing_o else_o all_o our_o life_n long_o but_o sigh_n and_o lament_v before_o god_n for_o our_o offence_n and_o pray_v he_o to_o reach_v we_o his_o hand_n too_o the_o end_n that_o satan_n may_v not_o overcome_v we_o as_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v have_v matter_n enough_o in_o ourselves_o but_o now_o that_o we_o must_v extend_v our_o prayer_n further_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n too_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n and_o understand_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v i_o too_o think_v alone_a upon_o myself_o but_o also_o too_o be_v mindful_a of_o all_o his_o choose_v inasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v knit_v i_o too_o they_o so_o as_o i_o must_v endeavour_n too_o comprehend_v they_o in_o my_o prayer_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o i_o see_v
say_v i_o that_o we_o be_v resolve_v hereof_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v too_o blockish_a if_o we_o be_v not_o touch_v yet_o more_o to_o the_o quick_a and_o set_v on_o fire_n with_o this_o carefulness_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o therewithal_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o howbeit_o saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o express_o of_o the_o saint_n or_o faithful_a but_o yet_o be_v that_o no_o impediment_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o pray_v general_o for_o all_o man_n for_o the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n and_o the_o ignorant_a sort_n have_v great_a need_n too_o be_v sew_v for_o unto_o god_n for_o behold_v they_o be_v in_o the_o high_a way_n too_o destruction_n if_o we_o see_v a_o beast_n at_o the_o point_n to_o perish_v we_o will_v have_v pity_n of_o it_o and_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v when_o we_o see_v a_o soul_n in_o peril_n which_o be_v so_o precious_a before_o god_n as_o he_o have_v show_v in_o that_o he_o have_v ransom_v they_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o

so_o then_o saint_n paul_n meaning_n in_o this_o text_n be_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v let_v the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n alone_o without_o care_n of_o they_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v pray_v general_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o he_o show_v we_o therewithal_o that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v knit_v unto_o we_o by_o a_o straight_a bond_n

a_o knot_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o then_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v express_o that_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o the_o saint_n now_o be_v this_o well_o print_v in_o

that_o satan_n thrust_v in_o by_o his_o champion_n we_o see_v how_o a_o great_a sort_n seek_v nothing_o else_o but_o too_o put_v the_o gospel_n too_o all_o shame_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n the_o poor_a servant_n of_o god_n which_o employ_v themselves_o in_o his_o service_n be_v trouble_v and_o vex_v by_o all_o mean_n then_o if_o we_o gather_v together_o all_o the_o misery_n and_o adversity_n wheretoo_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a and_o consider_v well_o the_o distress_n of_o every_o of_o our_o brethren_n must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v dull_a than_o brut_v beast_n if_o we_o be_v not_o move_v too_o pray_v unto_o god_n yea_o even_o with_o a_o right_a perseverance_n in_o the_o same_o for_o though_o i_o be_v at_o my_o ease_n too_o day_n there_o be_v many_o

shall_v pray_v for_o i_o also_o say_v he_o that_o god_n give_v i_o boldness_n in_o open_v my_o mouth_n so_o as_o i_o may_v utter_v the_o secret_a of_o the_o gospel_n according_o when_o saint_n paul_n

be_v of_o such_o abilttie_n that_o he_o can_v forbear_v too_o be_v succour_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o his_o neighbour_n when_o saint_n paul_n exempt_v not_o himself_o from_o it_o now_o then_o let_v every_o man_n in_o his_o pray_n unto_o god_n desire_n too_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v make_v throughout_o the_o church_n 18._o both_o general_o and_o particular_o
