that_o it_o come_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o must_v take_v it_o patient_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n serve_v not_o too_o change_v the_o common_a policy_n of_o the_o world_n and_o too_o make_v law_n that_o belong_v too_o the_o temporal_a state_n it_o be_v true_a that_o king_n prince_n and_o magistrate_n ought_v always_o too_o ask_v counsel_n at_o god_n mouth_n and_o too_o frame_v themselves_o unto_o his_o word_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o our_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o liberty_n too_o make_v such_o law_n as_o they_o shall_v perceive_v too_o be_v meet_a and_o convenient_a for_o the_o government_n that_o be_v commit_v unto_o they_o howbeit_o they_o must_v call_v upon_o god_n too_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n and_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o ability_n too_o rule_v of_o themselves_o they_o must_v take_v advice_n and_o counsel_n at_o god_n word_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o doctrine_n of_o

behave_v themselves_o one_o toward_o another_o be_v sundry_a thing_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n leave_v slavery_n bondage_n or_o seruiship_n as_o it_o be_v and_o he_o

so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v nevertheless_o ordain_v and_o establish_v of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n singleness_n for_o we_o be_v over_o witty_a in_o

from_o do_v of_o their_o duty_n now_o he_o set_v down_o purposely_o these_o word_n as_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a foundation_n that_o we_o have_v too_o lean_a unto_o when_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o do_n of_o any_o duty_n towards_o man_n for_o if_o we_o stick_v too_o creature_n we_o will_v say_v come_v we_o not_o all_o out_o of_o the_o ark_n of_o no_o why_o shall_v

the_o mark_n therefore_o that_o all_o man_n shoot_v at_o be_v that_o every_o man_n will_v be_v a_o lord_n and_o no_o man_n admit_v any_o subjection_n and_o so_o it_o will_v needs_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o wild_a beast_n or_o rather_o as_o dog_n and_o cat_n as_o man_n say_v until_o we_o know_v that_o god_n like_v well_o of_o the_o seruis_fw-la that_o we_o do_v too_o creature_n

paul_n speak_v that_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n therefore_o i_o also_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o superfluity_n in_o the_o gospel_n nor_o any_o thing_n which_o serve_v

shall_v not_o be_v speak_v of_o but_o be_v thrust_v under_o foot_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o two_o reason_n more_o which_o show_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o needful_a too_o be_v preach_v and_o that_o we_o reap_v so_o great_a profit_n by_o it_o as_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a that_o we_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v than_o too_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o thing_n that_o s._n paul_n

of_o our_o salvation_n 15._o that_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n with_o full_a liberty_n if_o we_o have_v not_o these_o two_o thing_n woe_n worth_a we_o for_o there_o be_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o we_o well_o may_v we_o talk_v of_o god_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o lease_v as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o god_n grace_n be_v not_o sufficient_o know_v but_o by_o seâ—ting_v god_n election_n as_o it_o be_v before_o our_o eye_n for_o put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n draw_v all_o man_n alike_o and_o that_o such_o as_o intend_v too_o obtain_v salvation_n must_v come_v of_o their_o own_o free_a will_n and_o selfmoving_a if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o we_o deserve_v too_o be_v

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

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

for_o they_o will_v say_v they_o be_v reform_v and_o yet_o they_o seem_v too_o be_v devil_n incarnate_a and_o we_o need_v not_o too_o go_v far_o to_o see_v such_o sight_n so_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v

gospel_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 the_o first_o place_n be_v that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o he_o have_v

that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n leave_v the_o world_n and_o be_v receive_v up_o into_o his_o heavenly_a glory_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v thenfforth_o enjoy_v his_o

still_o with_o you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v well_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n while_o he_o be_v conversant_a with_o they_o after_o a_o visible_a fashion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v not_o dispute_v of_o this_o matter_n after_o our_o own_o

you_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_n be_v to_o absent_v himself_o from_o we_o in_o his_o body_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v the_o better_o feel_v his_o presence_n through_o his_o dwell_n in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o s._n paul_n treat_v of_o as_o now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o go_v up_o and_o give_v his_o gift_n too_o man_n after_o he_o have_v lead_v away_o his_o enemy_n prisoner_n now_o this_o text_n which_o be_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o threescore_o and_o eight_o psalm_n

begin_v this_o morning_n too_o expound_v the_o text_n of_o the_o psalm_n allege_v here_o by_o s._n paul_n 19_o show_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v there_o agree_v too_o the_o

afterward_o be_v exalt_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n his_o father_n therein_o we_o see_v most_o full_o how_o god_n vouchsafe_v too_o be_v abse_z for_o a_o time_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n and_o too_o be_v in_o a_o state_n despise_v before_o man_n and_o afterward_o will_v be_v crown_v again_o with_o glory_n and_o honour_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o he_o in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v here_o 7._o that_o it_o behove_v he_o first_o too_o descend_v too_o be_v so_o exalt_v 6._o but_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a we_o must_v mark_v that_o here_o s._n paul_n have_v change_v the_o word_n for_o whereas_o david_n say_v that_o god_n receyve_v gift_n and_o present_n that_o be_v too_o say_v tribute_n and_o

that_o ever_o have_v be_v do_v in_o shadow_n and_o figure_n under_o the_o law_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o too_o give_v than_o too_o take_v also_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 2._o that_o god_n receive_v that_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o nor_o too_o his_o own_o use_n for_o we_o know_v he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o his_o receive_n be_v too_o enrich_v his_o

13._o there_o therefore_o david_n show_v that_o god_n be_v not_o glorify_v for_o any_o profit_n or_o advantage_n that_o he_o pretend_v on_o his_o own_o behalf_n according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o

we_o too_o he_o too_o succour_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n and_o want_n according_a too_o this_o say_n of_o he_o by_o his_o prophet_n 1._o come_v all_o you_o that_o be_v thirsty_a and_o drink_v your_o fill_n you_o shall_v have_v your_o fill_n not_o only_o of_o water_n but_o also_o of_o wine_n and_o milk_n too_o be_v short_a he_o show_v that_o they_o can_v want_v nothing_o which_o wait_v

for_o they_o may_v hap_v too_o boast_v that_o they_o have_v get_v the_o whole_a pray_v by_o their_o own_o manhood_n and_o policy_n but_o that_o the_o woman_n which_o never_o stir_v out_o of_o the_o

of_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o belong_v too_o our_o salvation_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o his_o gift_n it_o be_v not_o

as_o our_o life_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o may_v answer_v for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v learn_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o old_a man_n say_v that_o he_o be_v

for_o he_o and_o saint_n paul_n take_v a_o resemblance_n hereof_o in_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o too_o put_v away_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o old_a man_n be_v too_o forsake_v our_o own_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v altogether_o curse_a and_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o from_o our_o moother_n womb_n that_o be_v good_a and_o clean_a therefore_o if_o we_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o imagination_n and_o follow_v our_o own_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o give_v the_o bridle_n too_o our_o affection_n

we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o when_o we_o see_v the_o mischief_n feed_v and_o increase_v by_o our_o unfaithfulness_n let_v we_o provide_v for_o it_o and_o let_v every_o man_n be_v compel_v too_o

the_o very_a mean_a to_o rid_v away_o the_o plague_n that_o satan_n will_v have_v maintain_v still_o by_o silence_n and_o dissimulation_n therefore_o whensoever_o we_o perceive_v any_o imposthume_n

our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n grant_v it_o too_o your_o father_n howbeit_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v fain_o too_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o with_o wild_a

of_o his_o wife_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n require_v nothing_o at_o the_o husband_n hand_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v love_v his_o wife_n in_o another_o text_n too_o the_o

bear_v with_o their_o frailty_n if_o a_o man_n take_v a_o toy_n in_o his_o head_n that_o his_o wife_n be_v unconstant_a and_o light_v or_o too_o be_v short_a if_o he_o despise_v she_o under_o

do_v saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v abide_v in_o the_o state_n that_o god_n have_v put_v they_o in_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o subjection_n and_o that_o they_o must_v not_o
