and_o thus_o they_o change_v both_o word_n and_o meaning_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v they_o false_a witness_n by_o this_o we_o must_v be_v advertise_v to_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o

our_o redeemer_n and_o in_o christ_n example_n we_o must_v note_v that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a duty_n to_o know_v when_o to_o speak_v and_o when_o to_o be_v silent_a the_o order_n of_o the_o

be_v hard_o for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v when_o his_o speech_n or_o silence_n will_v serve_v for_o these_o two_o end_n therefore_o we_o must_v pray_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v teach_v and_o

the_o wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n for_o though_o caiphas_n take_v hence_o the_o occasion_n of_o condemn_v christ_n yet_o have_v he_o withal_o draw_v from_o he_o a_o most_o excellent_a

of_o he_o and_o then_o the_o condemnation_n of_o christ_n in_o both_o court_n ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a of_o these_o in_o order_n in_o christ_n accusation_n we_o must_v consider_v many_o point_n the_o first_o be_v who_o be_v his_o accuser_n namely_o the_o high_a priest_n the_o scribes_z and_o pharisy_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o common_a people_n all_o these_o conspire_v together_o to_o accuse_v he_o the_o cause_n that_o move_v the_o pharisee_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n hereunto_o be_v note_v by_o saint_n matthew_n â—8_o who_o say_v of_o envy_n they_o

more_o account_n among_o the_o people_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n &_o high_a priest_n repine_v and_o grudge_v at_o he_o now_o their_o example_n serve_v to_o admonish_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o sin_n as_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o many_o mischief_n and_o we_o must_v rather_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o moses_n who_o when_o josua_n desire_v he_o to_o forbid_v eldad_n and_o medad_n to_o prophesy_v answer_v 27,28_o envy_v thou_o for_o my_o sake_n yea_o i_o will_v to_o god_n all_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v prophet_n and_o we_o must_v be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n with_o john_n baptist_n who_o hear_v by_o his_o disciple_n that_o the_o people_n leave_v he_o and_o follow_v christ_n say_v 3.29_o his_o joy_n be_v fulfil_v for_o christ_n must_v

common_a people_n join_v with_o they_o be_v 27.20_o because_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o the_o scribe_n &_o elder_n have_v persuade_v they_o to_o a_o bad_a conceit_n of_o christ._n hence_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v most_o requisite_a for_o any_o people_n

to_o another_o from_o the_o toe_n to_o the_o foot_n from_o the_o foot_n to_o the_o leg_n from_o the_o leg_n to_o the_o thigh_n till_o it_o have_v waste_v and_o destroy_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n

use_v many_o mean_n to_o deliver_v he_o and_o none_o will_v prevail_v than_o he_o absolve_v he_o by_o give_v diverse_a testimony_n of_o his_o innocency_n for_o he_o come_v forth_o three_o time_n and_o

whereunto_o we_o be_v incline_v the_o last_o motive_n which_o cause_v pilate_n to_o absolve_v christ_n be_v a_o speech_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o say_v that_o christ_n ought_v to_o die_v by_o

who_o gate_n letter_n from_o the_o high_a priest_n to_o damascus_n that_o if_o he_o find_v any_o either_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o believe_v in_o christ_n he_o may_v bring_v they_o bind_v to_o

body_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o be_v themselves_o also_o in_o he_o in_o some_o unspeakable_a manner_n glorify_v but_o indeed_o it_o rather_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o truth_n to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v quite_o abolish_v because_o they_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o ignominious_a and_o base_a estate_n in_o which_o our_o saviour_n be_v upon_o the_o cross_n which_o after_o his_o entrance_n into_o

into_o heaven_n which_o be_v not_o cause_v by_o constraint_n or_o by_o any_o violent_a motion_n but_o by_o a_o property_n agree_v to_o all_o body_n glorify_v yet_o in_o the_o exaltation_n of_o christ_n manhood_n we_o must_v remember_v two_o caveat_n first_o that_o he_o do_v never_o lay_v aside_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o a_o true_a body_n as_o length_n breadth_n thickness_n visibilitie_n locallitie_n which_o be_v to_o be_v in_o one_o place_n at_o once_o and_o no_o more_o but_o keep_v all_o these_o still_o because_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o be_v of_o his_o body_n second_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o gift_n of_o glory_n in_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o infinite_a but_o finite_a for_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v but_o a_o creature_n and_o therefore_o finite_a can_v not_o receive_v infinite_a grace_n and_o gift_n of_o glory_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a that_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o man_n be_v false_a which_o hold_v that_o christ_n body_n glorify_v be_v omnipotent_a and_o infinite_a every_o way_n able_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v for_o this_o be_v to_o make_v a_o creature_n to_o be_v the_o creator_n thus_o much_o of_o christ_n exaltation_n in_o general_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o degree_n thereof_o as_o they_o be_v note_v in_o the_o creed_n which_o be_v in_o number_n three_o i._o he_o

the_o use_v thereof_o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v rise_v again_o and_o that_o for_o three_o especial_a cause_n first_o that_o hereby_o he_o may_v show_v to_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v full_o overcome_v death_n for_o else_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o rise_v how_o shall_v we_o have_v be_v persuade_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o he_o have_v make_v a_o full_a &_o perfect_a satisfaction_n for_o we_o nay_o rather_o we_o shall_v have_v reason_v thus_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v &_o therefore_o he_o have_v not_o overcome_v death_n but_o death_n have_v overcome_v he_o second_o christ_n which_o die_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o author_n of_o life_n itself_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v neither_o meet_v nor_o possible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v hold_v of_o death_n but_o he_o must_v needs_o rise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n three_o christ_n priesthood_n have_v two_o part_n one_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o sin_n by_o his_o one_o only_a sacrifice_n upon_o the_o cross_n the_o other_o to_o apply_v the_o virtue_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n unto_o every_o believer_n now_o he_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n upon_o the_o cross_n before_o the_o last_o pang_n of_o his_o death_n and_o in_o die_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v dead_a must_v needs_o rise_v again_o to_o

heaven_n unto_o his_o father_n for_o we_o here_o on_o earth_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o point_n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n five_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o it_o the_o first_o that_o christ_n rise_v again_o not_o as_o every_o private_a man_n do_v but_o as_o a_o public_a person_n represent_v all_o man_n that_o be_v to_o come_v to_o life_n eternal_a for_o as_o in_o his_o passion_n so_o also_o in_o his_o resurrection_n he_o stand_v in_o our_o room_n and_o place_n 2.6_o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o rise_v from_o death_n we_o all_o yea_o the_o whole_a church_n rise_v in_o he_o and_o together_o with_o he_o and_o this_o point_n not_o consider_v we_o do_v not_o conceive_v aright_o of_o christ_n resurrection_n neither_o can_v we_o reap_v sound_a comfort_n by_o it_o the_o second_o be_v that_o christ_n himself_o and_o no_o other_o for_o he_o do_v by_o his_o own_o power_n raise_v himself_o to_o life_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o mean_v when_o he_o say_v destroy_v

100l_n be_v good_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v evil_a to_o this_o purpose_n augustine_n say_v excellent_o by_o a_o unspeakable_a manner_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o that_o which_o be_v against_o

to_o decree_v sin_n that_o be_v to_o will_v and_o appoint_v the_o permission_n of_o it_o again_o it_o may_v be_v object_v thus_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v determine_v by_o the_o unchangeable_a decree_n

the_o same_o but_o only_o incline_v and_o turn_v they_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o one_o part_n an_o other_o example_n hereof_o we_o may_v have_v in_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o state_n and_o
