philosopher_n name_o that_o in_o all_o mankind_n there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o soul_n beside_o this_o these_o wise_a man_n be_v not_o even_o yet_o agree_v upon_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o

reason_v not_o only_o admit_v they_o not_o but_o also_o loathe_v and_o scorn_v they_o yea_o and_o if_o you_o press_v over_o far_o upon_o she_o at_o length_n like_o a_o bedlam_n she_o trample_v all_o

and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o we_o must_v rest_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o only_o obedience_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o we_o by_o faith_n as_o the_o only_a righteousness_n that_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o full_a in_o all_o point_n quest_n nay_o rather_o by_o what_o right_n shall_v nature_n god_n exact_v any_o thing_n at_o man_n hand_n who_o he_o know_v to_o be_v unable_a to_o make_v payment_n even_o by_o nature_n whereof_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o author_n ans_fw-fr that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v payment_n it_o be_v not_o of_o nature_n which_o both_o

and_o much_o less_o pay_v it_o nay_o rather_o all_o of_o we_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o increase_v that_o debt_n but_o too_o speak_v even_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n do_v any_o man_n cease_v

christ_n who_o he_o have_v give_v unto_o we_o most_o liberal_o and_o free_o that_o of_o his_o like_a liberality_n he_o give_v we_o faith_n also_o whereby_o to_o take_v the_o gift_n y_fw-fr he_o offer_v we_o who_o will_v not_o rather_o honour_v the_o father_n so_o infinite_a goodness_n than_o stand_v in_o contention_n with_o he_o quest_n to_o god_n therefore_o the_o sovereign_n man._n good_a be_v glory_n &_o praise_v everlasting_a nevertheless_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v you_o thus_o much_o at_o leastwise_o this_o righteousness_n that_o cleave_v unto_o we_o so_o farforth_o as_o it_o have_v regard_n of_o righteousness_n must_v needs_o please_v god_n who_o delight_v in_o righteousness_n ans_fw-fr i_o perceive_v the_o wiliness_n not_o of_o you_o as_o i_o think_v but_o of_o satan_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o he_o can_v bereave_v christ_n quite_o and_o clean_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o he_o go_v about_o at_o leastwyse_a to_o nip_n of_o some_o piece_n of_o it_o which_o thing_n will_v sure_o come_v to_o pass_v if_o he_o can_v make_v man_n believe_v that_o thing_n which_o the_o filthy_a sophister_n bear_v folk_n in_o hand_n name_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v but_o simp_o that_o which_o be_v want_v in_o our_o righteousness_n thus_o therefore_o stand_v the_o case_n god_n bear_v such_o a_o love_n towards_o righteousness_n that_o whatsoever_o have_v any_o spark_n of_o righteousness_n and_o cleanness_n at_o all_o he_o allow_v it_o after_o a_o sort_n but_o that_o be_v of_o his_o own_o infinite_a 10_o goodness_n and_o not_o for_o any_o desert_n of_o such_o manner_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v but_o shadowish_a so_o allow_v he_o the_o repentance_n of_o the_o ninivite_n and_o of_o achab_n although_o it_o be_v no_o true_a repentance_n but_o a_o certain_a shrink_n of_o themselves_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o he_o be_v so_o exceed_v good_a that_o he_o do_v good_a even_o too_o they_o that_o be_v most_o unworthy_a and_o much_o more_o too_o such_o as_o be_v by_o any_o mean_v touch_v with_o the_o feeling_n of_o his_o majesty_n then_o delight_v he_o much_o more_o in_o the_o work_v of_o they_o that_o be_v regenerate_v although_o they_o be_v unperfect_a but_o first_o i_o say_v that_o these_o work_v of_o the_o regenerate_v do_v please_v he_o not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n of_o they_o but_o of_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o the_o father_n who_o pardon_v that_o which_o be_v miss_v of_o righteousness_n and_o accepth_n that_o which_o proceed_v of_o his_o own_o spirit_n again_o i_o deny_v that_o

they_o god_n never_o so_o much_o through_o his_o mere_a grace_n 2_o for_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a ground_n that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o everlasting_a life_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god._n question_n but_o if_o they_o please_v they_o
the_o one_o man_n offence_n and_o punish_v the_o other_o according_a to_o his_o desert_n shall_v there_o be_v any_o parciality_n in_o the_o matter_n nay_o true_o if_o there_o be_v any_o fault_n in_o such_o deal_n it_o be_v not_o towards_o he_o that_o be_v punish_v but_o towards_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v withal_o &_o that_o be_v but_o a_o gentle_a fault_n muchless_o therefore_o can_v any_o parciality_n or_o regard_n of_o person_n be_v deem_v to_o be_v in_o y_fw-fr case_n which_o we_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n consider_v how_o god_n acquit_v not_o the_o elect_a but_o by_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n &_o if_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v call_v in_o question_n as_o scarce_o indifferent_a in_o this_o behalf_n man_n may_v seem_v to_o cavil_n rather_o upon_o the_o mercy_n towards_o the_o elect_a than_o upon_o the_o rightful_a rigour_n towards_o the_o castaway_n final_o to_o what_o end_n be_v all_o this_o for_o in_o order_n of_o cause_n god_n ornance_n go_v before_o the_o very_a creation_n of_o mankind_n unless_o thou_o will_v make_v god_n so_o unwise_a a_o workman_n as_o too_o create_v mankind_n before_o he_o have_v determine_v with_o himself_o to_o what_o end_n he_o will_v make_v he_o and_o what_o can_v he_o see_v in_o they_o that_o as_o yet_o have_v no_o be_v whereby_o he_o may_v be_v move_v to_o determine_v this_o or_o that_o concern_v they_o therefore_o this_o discourse_n also_o pertain_v not_o to_o the_o ordinance_n but_o to_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o ordinance_n wherein_o notwithstanding_o as_o i_o say_v even_o now_o there_o

whereunto_o even_o the_o very_a creation_n of_o mankind_n be_v submit_v in_o order_n of_o cause_n &_o therefore_o much_o less_o do_v the_o apostle_n put_v the_o foreseen_a corruption_n of_o mankind_n before_o it_o for_o first_o by_o the_o term_n lump_n there_o be_v manifest_o betoken_v a_o substance_n as_o yet_o unshape_a and_o only_o prepare_v too_o work_v upon_o afterward_o again_o in_o liken_v
