i_o say_v at_o the_o beginning_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o whereas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v we_o too_o here_o those_o that_o come_v in_o his_o name_n as_o if_o he_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o person_n he_o mean_v not_o thereby_o too_o make_v they_o idol_n among_o man_n too_o the_o end_n that_o such_o as_o have_v charge_n to_o speak_v in_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v exalt_v too_o have_v any_o tyranny_n but_o he_o mean_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v receyve_v reverent_o and_o without_o gaynsay_v and_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v here_o that_o he_o be_v receyve_v as_o a_o angel_n or_o rather_o as_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o he_o come_v not_o in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o indever_v too_o preach_v god_n grace_n pure_o and_o too_o make_v man_n too_o follow_v jesus_n christ_n &_o to_o frame_v themselves_o whole_o unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v have_v his_o due_a pre-eminence_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v receyve_v without_o gaynsay_v and_o that_o it_o may_v bring_v forth_o such_o fruit_n as_o it_o ought_v too_o do_v 16._o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n too_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o believer_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o roman_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o

may_v please_v he_o to_o bear_v with_o our_o infirmity_n till_o he_o have_v rid_v we_o quite_o and_o clean_o of_o all_o and_o so_o renew_v we_o according_a too_o his_o own_o image_n so_o as_o all_o may_v be_v pure_a and_o clean_a in_o we_o and_o his_o glory_n show_v itself_o there_o and_o we_o more_o and_o more_o fight_n in_o such_o wise_a against_o our_o own_o sinfulness_n as_o it_o may_v be_v

common_a consent_n indever_n to_o serve_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o give_v over_o ourselves_o whole_o thereunto_o and_o so_o let_v we_o all_o say_v almighty_a god_n heavenly_a father_n etc._n etc._n

he_o may_v give_v we_o skill_n to_o discern_v what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v serve_v he_o and_o have_v our_o mind_n so_o whole_o set_v upon_o he_o as_o we_o may_v never_o be_v remove_v special_o for_o somuch_o as_o it_o oftentimes_o fall_v out_o that_o such_o as_o be_v take_v to_o be_v very_o wise_a to_o the_o worldward_n become_v like_o little_a child_n according_a to_o the_o alteration_n of_o their_o desire_n give_v up_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v set_v much_o store_n by_o and_o gad_v after_o some_o pelt_a trifle_n that_o come_v in_o their_o sight_n

afore_o all_o of_o we_o with_o one_o common_a accord_n hold_v this_o principle_n that_o we_o desire_v too_o seek_v our_o own_o profit_n there_o be_v neither_o great_a nor_o small_a but_o he_o be_v

shall_v see_v the_o great_a number_n as_o you_o will_v say_v rack_n themselves_o and_o their_o mind_n never_o cease_v day_n nor_o night_n too_o run_v still_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o come_v afore_o

know_v why_o or_o wherefore_o now_o then_o sing_v that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o we_o be_v prove_v not_o to_o discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o evil_a as_o be_v requisite_a and_o expedient_a we_o have_v need_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n pray_v he_o too_o guide_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o special_o when_o the_o soverayne_a felicity_n or_o welfare_n come_v in_o question_n sure_o whereas_o we_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o and_o ravish_v in_o love_n with_o it_o we_o be_v hale_v another_o way_n and_o do_v nothing_o but_o fiske_n too_o and_o fro_o and_o there_o be_v so_o

that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n do_v in_o this_o text_n upbrayde_v the_o galathians_n with_o their_o forget_v of_o their_o own_o happiness_n 21._o for_o this_o say_n of_o our_o

nevertheless_o they_o can_v easy_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o forbear_v though_o a_o man_n see_v a_o fair_a and_o costly_a thing_n yet_o can_v he_o content_v himself_o quiet_o with_o his_o own_o state_n still_o if_o he_o have_v wherewith_o too_o maintain_v himself_o but_o if_o we_o esteem_v our_o life_n unhappy_a or_o unfortunate_a without_o the_o enjoy_n of_o any_o welfare_n at_o all_o sure_o we_o shall_v be_v toss_v with_o continual_a unquietness_n till_o we_o have_v
we_o express_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n give_v himself_o and_o he_o content_v not_o himself_o too_o say_v that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o the_o world_n in_o common_a for_o that_o have_v be_v but_o a_o slender_a say_n but_o show_v that_o every_o of_o we_o must_v apply_v too_o himself_o particular_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v crucify_v we_o must_v not_o only_o think_v that_o the_o same_o be_v do_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n but_o also_o every_o of_o we_o must_v on_o his_o own_o behalf_n join_v himself_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o conclude_v it_o be_v for_o i_o that_o he_o have_v suffer_v likewise_o when_o we_o be_v baptize_v as_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o one_o man_n alone_o so_o be_v not_o the_o water_n sprinkle_v upon_o all_o man_n in_o common_a but_o every_o man_n be_v baptize_v several_o in_o his_o own_o behalf_n too_o the_o end_n that_o every_o of_o we_o may_v apply_v it_o particular_o too_o himself_o too_o say_v that_o we_o be_v all_o member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n also_o when_o we_o receyve_v the_o holy_a supper_n every_o man_n take_v his_o own_o portion_n too_o show_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v communicate_v untoo_o we_o yea_o even_o to_o every_o one_o of_o us._n s._n paul_n therefore_o do_v purposely_o use_v that_o manner_n of_o speech_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o cold_a imagination_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o diverse_a ignorant_a person_n which_o take_v themselves_o too_o be_v christian_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n be_v as_o wretched_a beast_n but_o when_o we_o once_o know_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v for_o the_o

so_o dear_o that_o he_o have_v give_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o i_o furthermore_o the_o word_n love_n be_v not_o superfluous_a here_o for_o saint_n paul_n intent_n be_v too_o magnify_v the_o gracious_a goodness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o we_o be_v very_a wretch_n if_o we_o accept_v not_o such_o a_o benefit_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o see_v that_o god_n in_o send_v we_o his_o son_n have_v none_o other_o respect_n but_o to_o our_o misery_n which_o he_o intend_v too_o relieve_v also_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v so_o neglect_v himself_o that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o life_n for_o our_o welfare_n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bare_a us._n see_v it_o be_v so_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o be_v worse_o than_o out_o of_o our_o wit_n if_o we_o accept_v not_o such_o a_o benefit_n 16_o but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a common_a doctrine_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n but_o give_v he_o too_o death_n for_o we_o and_o also_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n at_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n 8_o do_v confirm_v a_o marvelous_a love_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o he_o offer_v himself_o in_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o too_o do_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n so_o as_o they_o may_v no_o more_o come_v to_o account_v lo_o here_o a_o warrant_n of_o our_o salvation_n so_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v our_o self_n thorough_o assure_v of_o it_o howbeit_o s._n paul_n mean_v purposely_o here_o too_o rebuke_v man_n unthankfulness_n in_o that_o they_o accept_v not_o the_o benefit_n which_o god_n grant_v they_o so_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 god_n first_o as_o if_o shall_v say_v we_o do_v not_o prevent_v he_o as_o those_o think_v they_o do_v which_o say_v i_o have_v do_v he_o such_o service_n and_o such_o for_o alas_o what_o be_v it_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 be_v utter_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o daily_o offer_v we_o in_o his_o gospel_n for_o look_v how_o oft_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v preach_v untoo_o we_o and_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n talk_v of_o so_o oft_o be_v this_o message_n renew_v untoo_o we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o untoo_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v forsake_v the_o world_n and_o be_v out_o of_o all_o hope_n in_o ourselves_o fasten_v and_o settle_v our_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o reject_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o s._n paul_n in_o say_v so_o mean_v to_o call_v back_o such_o as_o have_v go_v astray_o before_o and_o too_o show_v they_o the_o way_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v whereas_o the_o poor_a ignorant_a soul_n that_o never_o hear_v word_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v excuze_v we_o must_v needs_o be_v worse_o than_o damnable_a see_v we_o refuze_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o for_o it_o smell_v of_o such_o a_o unthankfulness_n as_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v excuse_v saint_n paul_n therefore_o do_v here_o make_v mention_n of_o those_o who_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v too_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o his_o gospel_n and_o yet_o do_v still_o welter_v in_o their_o own_o

yet_o seek_v no_o remedy_n nor_o comfort_n yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o they_o too_o who_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o preach_v his_o gospel_n shall_v not_o fail_v to_o perish_v without_o mercy_n they_o can_v defend_v themselves_o by_o ignorance_n i_o say_v that_o all_o the_o heathen_a folk_n and_o idolater_n that_o ever_o be_v must_v have_v their_o mouth_n stop_v and_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o then_o which_o have_v have_v our_o ear_n beat_v daily_o with_o the_o message_n that_o god_n send_v we_o which_o be_v that_o he_o require_v nothing_o but_o that_o we_o

for_o we_o that_o god_n shall_v so_o far_o abase_v himself_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n that_o he_o shall_v beseech_v we_o let_v we_o fall_v to_o atonement_n say_v he_o and_o what_o

i_o will_v fall_v too_o atonement_n with_o you_o whereas_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o spitefulnesse_n in_o we_o we_o be_v like_o little_a fiend_n and_o to_o be_v short_a we_o be_v

let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o henceforth_o we_o may_v free_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o heaven_n and_o prefer_v our_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n unto_o god_n 16_o because_o he_o have_v

now_o saint_n paul_n add_v immediate_o that_o it_o be_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o this_o wicked_a world_n here_o he_o show_v why_o we_o be_v call_v too_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

at_o the_o free_a favour_n which_o god_n bear_v unto_o we_o when_o he_o determine_v in_o his_o everlasting_a purpose_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v back_o again_o unto_o he_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n another_o cause_n thereof_o be_v jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o we_o find_v all_o that_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o

we_o from_o come_v too_o god_n that_o be_v the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v here_o now_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o embrace_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o true_a faith_n for_o the_o faithless_a have_v no_o profit_n at_o all_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o rather_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o damnable_a because_o they_o reject_v the_o mean_a that_o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o their_o unthankfulness_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_o punish_v because_o they_o have_v tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v the_o ransom_n for_o their_o soul_n therefore_o it_o

the_o scan_n of_o our_o salvation_n now_o remain_v that_o god_n be_v glorify_v in_o we_o as_o good_a reason_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v and_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o third_o to_o the_o roman_n say_v that_o whereas_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o mean_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n
say_v express_o that_o he_o persecute_v the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o he_o make_v havoc_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o play_v the_o cutthroat_n as_o you_o will_v say_v until_o god_n have_v

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o coin_v in_o the_o doctrine_n that_o he_o preach_v forsomuch_o as_o it_o behove_v he_o too_o have_v quite_o and_o clean_o

that_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v to_o the_o worldward_n and_o which_o he_o have_v high_o esteem_v before_o 8._o than_o of_o dung_n &_o dirt_n as_o he_o himself_o protest_v to_o the_o philippian_n and_o

by_o his_o own_o good_a work_n all_o these_o thing_n he_o reject_v as_o abominable_a know_v well_o that_o he_o be_v blind_v with_o pride_n in_o that_o he_o have_v imagine_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v

also_o to_o have_v abhor_v they_o as_o he_o himself_o protest_v forsomuch_o then_o as_o we_o see_v this_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o better_o confirm_v in_o that_o which_o he_o say_v namely_o that_o in_o execute_v his_o office_n of_o apostleship_n he_o have_v nothing_o of_o man_n nor_o of_o himself_o for_o he_o have_v be_v quite_o &_o clean_o strip_v out_o of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v make_v great_a account_n of_o before_o for_o in_o that_o he_o confess_v himself_o to_o have_v be_v a_o persecuter_n of_o god_n church_n we_o see_v that_o to_o the_o intent_n to_o maintain_v
