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

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

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

that_o shall_v be_v edify_v by_o they_o curse_a be_v he_o therefore_o that_o shall_v cast_v such_o a_o stumblingblocke_n in_o their_o way_n so_o then_o let_v we_o by_o all_o mean_v indever_n too_o

too_o god_n because_o that_o whereas_o they_o profess_v to_o hold_v of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o despyze_v and_o spite_v he_o and_o be_v as_o dung_n and_o filthiness_n too_o mar_v all_o thing_n baptism_n then_o make_v we_o not_o all_o christian_n and_o again_o we_o know_v that_o too_o be_v make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v too_o great_a a_o benefit_n to_o be_v father_v upon_o a_o corruptible_a element_n what_o be_v the_o water_n too_o say_v that_o the_o water_n beget_v or_o regenerate_v we_o again_o and_o that_o thereby_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o death_n and_o obtain_v the_o glory_n wherein_o god_n lift_v we_o up_o too_o himself_o as_o say_v i_o a_o pervert_v of_o all_o order_n but_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o mark_v here_o that_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o baptism_n he_o presuppose_v that_o we_o receyve_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v offer_v unto_o we_o in_o it_o many_o that_o be_v baptize_v do_v wipe_v away_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o yet_o they_o make_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o it_o through_o their_o unbeleef_n lewdness_n and_o rebellion_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o baptism_n be_v disfeat_v in_o many_o man_n but_o when_o there_o happen_v
there_o be_v nothing_o but_o spottinesse_n &_o rebelliousnesse_n in_o we_o till_o god_n have_v change_v we_o how_o so_o answer_n they_o and_o what_o shall_v then_o become_v of_o our_o own_o free_a will_n to_o be_v short_a jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v name_v oft_o enough_o and_o man_n will_v reserve_v unto_o he_o the_o title_n of_o redeemer_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n his_o office_n shall_v be_v part_v and_o put_v too_o the_o spoil_n and_o every_o man_n shall_v catch_v a_o portion_n of_o it_o too_o himself_o beside_o this_o they_o imagine_v that_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n of_o

that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v just_o avow_v they_o to_o be_v backslider_n and_o to_o have_v give_v over_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o be_v become_v stranger_n to_o he_o for_o they_o false_o abuse_v his_o name_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o variable_a 19_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v how_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o corinthian_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v yea_o

paul_n blame_v the_o galathians_n for_o be_v so_o carry_v away_o now_o if_o a_o man_n demand_v the_o reason_n how_o it_o be_v in_o that_o some_o will_v have_v make_v they_o to_o observe_v the_o

old_a time_n so_o as_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v all_o cease_v at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forasmuch_o therefore_o as_o the_o galathians_n mingle_v the_o old_a figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n saint_n paul_n be_v not_o able_a too_o suffer_v it_o say_v that_o they_o be_v turn_v aside_o from_o god_n yea_o and_o utter_o fall_v away_o from_o he_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o worse_a thing_n than_o that_o namely_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v thereby_o disannul_v because_o man_n do_v always_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o deserve_v and_o earn_v righteousness_n before_o god_n to_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o their_o serve_v of_o he_o and_o so_o when_o these_o deceiver_n have_v bring_v in_o the_o say_a error_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o keep_v the_o old_a forworne_a figure_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v threaped_a a_o meritorious_a service_n upon_o god_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n but_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v of_o free_a gift_n or_o else_o jesus_n christ_n be_v nothing_o worth_a i_o term_v it_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n for_o if_o we_o imagine_v never_o so_o small_a a_o drop_n of_o deserve_v in_o ourselves_o it_o stop_v we_o from_o come_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v a_o ancient_a doctor_n say_v that_o we_o can_v receyve_v the_o salvation_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n except_o we_o have_v first_o

more_o just_a reason_n too_o say_v that_o the_o galathians_n be_v carry_v away_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o his_o father_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o this_o clog_n more_o namely_o that_o

in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o act_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n why_o saint_n paul_n blame_v the_o galathians_n for_o fall_v away_o like_o perjure_a person_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o our_o

declare_v already_o it_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o s._n paul_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n in_o general_a except_o he_o have_v show_v therewith_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a &_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n can_v well_o enough_o away_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o very_o great_a estimation_n among_o we_o but_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n the_o gospel_n be_v and_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n chalendge_v that_o faithfulness_n of_o teach_v the_o gospel_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v change_v let_v the_o same_o be_v accurse_v and_o this_o yet_o again_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o when_o the_o papist_n read_v this_o place_n they_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o it_o and_o god_n also_o have_v dull_v they_o so_o as_o there_o be_v less_o wit_n in_o they_o than_o in_o little_a child_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o namely_o that_o paul_n mean_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v another_o gospel_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v write_v a_o book_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v write_v by_o he_o than_o they_o shall_v utter_o

whit_n of_o it_o gospel_n but_o they_o rather_o surmise_v that_o he_o have_v write_v some_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o any_o other_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o refuzall_n thereof_o the_o same_o that_o have_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o credit_n nor_o reputation_n but_o we_o see_v that_o in_o that_o case_n these_o wretched_a beast_n have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o understanding_n nor_o any_o taste_n at_o all_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v even_o to_o show_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_fw-la the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o will_v we_o be_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o accept_v what_o soever_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o his_o name_n but_o we_o must_v put_v that_o thing_n in_o â—re_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n 5_o which_o be_v too_o be_v able_a by_o herken_v unto_o his_o voice_n too_o discern_v his_o voice_n from_o

which_o care_v not_o which_o end_n go_v forward_o in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o we_o must_v rest_v to_o have_v any_o

therefore_o let_v we_o shun_v it_o as_o a_o poison_n for_o sure_o no_o poison_n can_v be_v so_o deadly_a as_o a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o if_o man_n do_v natural_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o

too_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n have_v pass_v upon_o he_o therefore_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o know_v what_o all_o man_n

if_o god_n work_v in_o he_o with_o such_o power_n as_o it_o be_v see_v that_o he_o mind_v too_o set_v he_o forewarder_n in_o one_o day_n than_o some_o other_o man_n in_o ten_o year_n his_o so_o do_v

what_o man_n have_v be_v aforetimes_o must_v not_o be_v to_o despyze_v they_o still_o for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n give_v he_o the_o bridle_n for_o a_o time_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o bring_v

that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v that_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o pacify_v god_n his_o father_n be_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n that_o he_o persuade_v he_o to_o alter_v

tell_v we_o express_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o jesus_n christ_n be_v deliver_v for_o our_o sin_n be_v for_o that_o god_n have_v so_o ordain_v it_o for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v angry_a with_o his_o

since_o do_v both_o hate_v we_o and_o love_v we_o before_o the_o reconciliation_n be_v make_v and_o why_o love_v he_o we_o because_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o again_o although_o he_o see_v we_o

here_o which_o be_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o world_n and_o those_o two_o thing_n be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v some_o fantastical_a person_n have_v imagine_v such_o a_o perfection_n

fain_o keep_v aloof_o from_o he_o insomuch_o that_o the_o faithful_a must_v needs_o feel_v both_o those_o two_o motion_n in_o themselves_o namely_o that_o when_o on_o the_o one_o side_n as_o saint_n

many_o wicked_a affection_n so_o as_o we_o can_v come_v near_o unto_o god_n as_o we_o fain_o will_v do_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o seven_o 19_o chapter_n too_o the_o roman_n sigh_v and_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v unhappy_a because_o he_o can_v do_v the_o good_a that_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o do_v nor_o utter_o eschew_v the_o evil_a that_o he_o hate_v &_o abhor_v thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v concern_v the_o deliverance_n that_o be_v mention_v here_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o so_o

come_v which_o be_v when_o our_o lord_n god_n shall_v have_v thorough_o repair_v his_o image_n in_o us._n now_o by_o the_o way_n although_o the_o galathians_n be_v partly_o slip_v away_o and_o have_v give_v ear_n to_o the_o buzibody_n that_o have_v disguise_v the_o gospel_n and_o make_v such_o a_o mingle_v mangle_v of_o it_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o good_a as_o overwhelm_v and_o bury_v yet_o notwithstanding_o s._n paul_n match_v they_o still_o with_o the_o faithful_a for_o who_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v according_a also_o as_o he_o place_v they_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o renegate_n that_o have_v forsake_v jesus_n christ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v anon_o show_v they_o their_o fault_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o mind_v not_o to_o exclude_v they_o utter_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o he_o to_o write_v to_o they_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o draw_v they_o back_o again_o and_o to_o win_v they_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o again_o into_o the_o good_a way_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o s._n paul_n labour_v to_o bring_v back_o the_o galathians_n into_o the_o way_n of_o

of_o the_o gospel_n in_o they_o and_o although_o they_o be_v snarl_a in_o some_o error_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o utter_o forsake_v god_n nor_o go_v quite_o away_o from_o the_o gospel_n for_o that_o

will_v god_n reckon_v we_o as_o of_o his_o household_n for_o his_o word_n sake_n which_o be_v preach_v among_o us._n no_o doubt_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o our_o sore_a damnation_n if_o god_n

saint_n paul_n use_v of_o such_o mildene_a 〈◊〉_d towards_o the_o galathians_n be_v not_o to_o foad_v they_o in_o their_o vice_n nor_o too_o soothe_v they_o up_o with_o fond_a flattery_n after_o the_o

by_o his_o authority_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n which_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v these_o namely_o that_o man_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n that_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n be_v open_v untoo_o we_o and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v we_o for_o our_o heritage_n so_o as_o we_o be_v make_v pattaker_n of_o all_o the_o

than_o that_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o such_o as_o come_v too_o set_v trouble_n after_o we_o have_v be_v

you_o see_v then_o that_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o confess_v in_o general_a term_n that_o the_o gospel_n ought_v too_o be_v preach_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o know_v not_o what_o

a_o day_n but_o that_o we_o may_v stand_v out_o too_o the_o end_n this_o be_v in_o effect_n
be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v so_o for_o asmuch_o as_o the_o devil_n do_v always_o indever_n too_o bring_v the_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v well_o like_v of_o to_o

notwithstanding_o whensoever_o they_o be_v compare_v with_o god_n then_o must_v all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o term_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o why_o for_o else_o it_o shall_v come_v in_o question_n too_o know_v whether_o the_o apostle_n may_v by_o their_o own_o worthiness_n and_o excellency_n prejudice_n the_o gospel_n as_o the_o foresay_a

any_o of_o the_o gift_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o but_o that_o god_n may_v always_o have_v his_o preeminence_n and_o every_o of_o we_o learn_v too_o glorify_v he_o for_o it_o when_o we_o see_v any_o of_o his_o gracious_a gift_n in_o any_o man_n and_o that_o be_v very_o needful_a for_o there_o have_v always_o be_v such_o spytefulnesse_n among_o man_n that_o everye_o man_n enuy_v

that_o i_o speak_v of_o afore_o now_o in_o such_o heave_n at_o man_n there_o will_v always_o be_v some_o strife_n and_o hartburn_n and_o too_o be_v short_a all_o must_v needs_o go_v too_o wrack_n because_o god_n be_v offend_v at_o it_o for_o at_o who_o do_v these_o wrong_n am_z true_a it_o be_v that_o i_o do_v wrong_v too_o my_o neighbour_n who_o i_o disgrace_n after_o that_o sort_n but_o therewithal_o i_o do_v also_o blaspheme_v god_n so_o as_o we_o can_v deface_v the_o gift_n and_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o any_o man_n but_o that_o our_o do_v be_v forthwith_o match_v with_o

very_a deed_n and_o therefore_o must_v we_o take_v so_o much_o the_o better_a heed_n of_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v here_o namely_o that_o the_o faithful_a glorified_a god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o saint_n paul_n when_o they_o see_v he_o have_v wrought_v after_o that_o manner_n in_o he_o and_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o yield_v god_n his_o due_a honour_n whensoever_o he_o offer_v or_o show_v we_o any_o of_o his_o gift_n for_o the_o reproach_n or_o wrong_n be_v not_o do_v too_o the_o creature_n but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o be_v unregarded_a in_o so_o do_v because_o he_o be_v defraud_v and_o rob_v of_o the_o right_n that_o belong_v untoo_o he_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o remember_v this_o lesson_n because_o we_o see_v this_o naughtiness_n too_o be_v as_o great_a nowadays_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o commend_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o be_v

unthankfulness_n hinder_v himself_o too_o receyve_v the_o fruit_n of_o god_n gift_n whereof_o he_o may_v be_v parttaker_n so_o than_o if_o we_o have_v honest_a and_o well_o meen_a heart_n sure_o we_o shall_v always_o fare_v the_o better_a when_o we_o see_v any_o good_a example_n and_o where_o any_o man_n be_v endue_v with_o god_n gift_n we_o shall_v apply_v the_o same_o too_o our_o own_o profit_n

some_o so_o spiteful_a that_o of_o very_a malice_n they_o will_v fain_o make_v man_n believe_v that_o the_o sun_n shine_v not_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o so_o divelishe_a that_o it_o spyte_v they_o at_o the_o heart_n too_o see_v god_n name_n glorify_v by_o another_o man_n mean_n must_v that_o fellow_n have_v the_o honour_n say_v they_o very_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o every_o man_n ought_v not_o too_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o abace_n of_o himself_o that_o god_n may_v be_v honour_v as_o he_o deserve_v in_o the_o gift_n that_o he_o give_v man_n as_o he_o himself_o list_v but_o there_o

they_o see_v then_o that_o man_n be_v nowadays_o so_o full_a of_o malice_n and_o venom_n we_o have_v the_o more_o need_n too_o bear_v in_o mind_n what_o be_v show_v we_o here_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n

of_o let_v too_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v have_v his_o free_a course_n and_o full_a scope_n yea_o &_o that_o he_o be_v not_o lead_v thereunto_o by_o vain_a presumptuousnesse_n as_o we_o see_v this_o morning_n but_o consider_v that_o the_o wicked_a sort_n will_v lay_v to_o his_o charge_n that_o yet_o at_o length_n he_o come_v too_o submit_v himself_o too_o the_o apostle_n too_o

gospel_n it_o a_o very_a notable_a say_n and_o which_o import_v a_o very_a profitable_a doctrine_n for_o he_o may_v well_o have_v say_v simple_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o gospel_n may_v abide_v among_o you_o i_o will_v not_o give_v place_n too_o they_o so_o much_o as_o one_o minute_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n howbeit_o not_o that_o there_o be_v one_o true_a and_o another_o false_a but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v continue_v true_a he_o speak_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o man_n and_o why_o so_o for_o although_o man_n make_v a_o fair_a show_n to_o be_v christian_n yet_o do_v they_o always_o labour_v to_o have_v some_o medley_n according_a as_o we_o see_v many_o geerish_v head_n in_o this_o world_n who_o can_v abide_v that_o god_n alone_o shall_v govern_v we_o but_o every_o man_n will_v cast_v in_o his_o own_o collop_n or_o morsel_n and_o thereof_o come_v the_o confusion_n that_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o papacy_n a_o

man_n be_v not_o content_v to_o obey_v god_n but_o will_v needs_o add_v this_o and_o that_o of_o their_o own_o fancy_n so_o then_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o purposely_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o simplicity_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o corinthian_n 3._o and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o simplicity_n or_a singleness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v match_v agein_v all_o the_o mingling_n that_o man_n make_v for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o they_o have_v a_o foolish_a fancy_n of_o set_v forth_o thing_n

world_n have_v be_v so_o blind_a that_o it_o can_v not_o perceyve_v it_o these_o kind_n of_o man_n have_v expound_v this_o say_n that_o we_o be_v not_o iustify_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n

he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v so_o by_o his_o word_n and_o also_o give_v we_o a_o good_a pledge_n and_o earnest_a penny_n of_o it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n insomuch_o that_o there_o he_o

too_o the_o promise_n insomuche_o that_o god_n free_a offering_n of_o himself_o untoo_o abraham_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o abraham_n be_v count_v righteous_a because_o he_o accept_v the_o favour_n that_o be_v offer_v he_o of_o free_a gift_n be_v well_o assure_v that_o of_o himself_o he_o have_v nothing_o but_o all_o iniquity_n and_o cursednesse_n and_o thereupon_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v that_o such_o as_o be_v of_o faith_n be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o abraham_n be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o of_o all_o god_n child_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o we_o must_v be_v fashion_v after_o his_o example_n or_o else_o the_o gate_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v shette_v against_o we_o and_o we_o be_v quite_o

all_o untoo_o he_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o be_v of_o his_o race_n the_o only_a way_n whereof_o be_v to_o be_v partner_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o

god_n choze_n abraham_n and_o his_o offspring_n so_o then_o be_v we_o shut_v out_o from_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n for_o his_o chooze_v import_v a_o forsake_v of_o all_o those_o who_o he_o

shall_v we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v miserable_a but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o in_o the_o second_o
yet_o can_v he_o not_o love_n god_n as_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o it_o will_v behoove_v all_o our_o wit_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o love_n of_o he_o but_o now_o let_v we_o mark_v if_o we_o

you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o the_o inheritance_n come_v by_o the_o law_n it_o shall_v not_o come_v by_o

to_o get_v favour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o the_o praise_n of_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v yield_v all_o whole_o untoo_o he_o s._n paul_n in_o speak_v here_o of_o inheritance_n meen_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o what_o soever_o god_n have_v at_o any_o time_n promise_v we_o be_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a goodness_n for_o a_o inheritance_n be_v not_o a_o wage_n or_o hire_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o father_n in_o give_v his_o child_n their_o heritage_n may_v well_o say_v see_v how_o i_o take_v pain_n for_o you_o mark_v what_o shall_v come_v of_o it_o you_o shall_v have_v my_o

too_o provide_v for_o such_o as_o be_v so_o ally_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o heritage_n be_v thing_n of_o free_a gift_n among_o man_n we_o must_v not_o take_v eternal_a life_n as_o a_o deserve_a wage_n or_o hire_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o why_o it_o be_v a_o heritage_n mark_v it_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o here_o all_o worthiness_n of_o man_n be_v exclude_v for_o when_o a_o man_n make_v his_o child_n his_o heir_n he_o pass_v not_o whither_o they_o have_v do_v any_o great_a work_n or_o no_o or_o whither_o they_o be_v fair_a or_o foul_a or_o whither_o they_o be_v one_o thing_n or_o other_o but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o that_o they_o be_v his_o child_n and_o that_o his_o mind_n be_v too_o provide_v for_o they_o another_o point_n be_v that_o saint_n paul_n in_o so_o say_v give_v we_o a_o inkling_n that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o utter_o reject_v of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o can_v no_n not_o even_o in_o this_o transitory_a life_n enjoy_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o by_o the_o only_a mere_a grace_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o sun_n shine_v as_o well_o upon_o the_o faithless_a as_o upon_o the_o faithful_a and_o all_o man_n be_v nurrish_v alike_o with_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n give_v and_o grant_v unto_o they_o but_o yet_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v the_o unbeliever_n possess_v not_o any_o thing_n by_o just_a title_n they_o be_v but_o

but_o defile_v they_o asmuch_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v because_o they_o have_v no_o faith_n which_o as_o say_v saint_n paul_n be_v the_o thing_n whereby_o the_o benefit_n that_o god_n give_v untoo_o

when_o we_o abuse_v god_n benefit_n the_o unbelief_n that_o be_v in_o we_o defile_v all_o and_o in_o the_o end_n all_o creature_n must_v cry_v out_o for_o vengeance_n upon_o we_o because_o we_o

for_o succour_n see_v then_o that_o god_n will_v it_o to_o slay_v we_o by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o give_v we_o to_o make_v we_o righteous_a and_o therefore_o they_o that_o seek_v their_o life_n

though_o god_n alter_v the_o manner_n of_o his_o speech_n at_o the_o first_o blush_n now_o he_o add_v afterward_o that_o the_o scripture_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o â—â—â—der_a sin_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v the_o promise_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o under_o sin_n he_o show_v that_o man_n be_v too-too_o blockishe_a too_o think_v that_o god_n mean_v too_o assign_v they_o a_o due_a wage_n or_o hire_n when_o he_o do_v set_v they_o down_o this_o condition_n he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n

and_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o accuse_v and_o condemn_v all_o man_n from_o the_o most_o to_o the_o
we_o know_v that_o the_o great_a number_n perish_v in_o their_o sin_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o why_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n

that_o pardon_v our_o offence_n and_o receive_v we_o into_o his_o favour_n he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n too_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o heritage_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n we_o see_v

according_a as_o saint_n john_n say_v 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 to_o the_o end_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v

if_o the_o angel_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v before_o god_n they_o can_v not_o answer_v to_o that_o perfection_n of_o rightuousnesse_n &_o much_o less_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o which_o

we_o now_o shall_v we_o be_v wise_a than_o he_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o man_n wit_n have_v be_v so_o tickelishe_a to_o devise_v store_n of_o ceremony_n in_o the_o

why_o for_o he_o bear_v with_o we_o as_o a_o father_n with_o his_o child_n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o freedom_n wherein_o we_o must_v stand_v except_o we_o will_v be_v separate_v from_o our_o

of_o all_o their_o university_n that_o such_o thing_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v count_v sin_n they_o can_v well_o enough_o say_v that_o before_o baptism_n all_o be_v sin_n but_o when_o we_o be_v once_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v we_o never_o so_o much_o provoke_v unto_o evil_a do_v or_o be_v we_o never_o so_o much_o shake_v too_o and_o fro_o all_o be_v well_o to_o be_v short_a though_o we_o be_v

well_o worthy_a to_o be_v cast_v into_o such_o blockishness_n for_o like_a as_o they_o have_v set_v up_o idol_n and_o puppette_n to_o worship_n so_o be_v it_o good_a reason_n that_o they_o shall_v

needs_o become_v stark_a beast_n but_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n mark_v what_o i_o have_v allege_v already_o upon_o the_o other_o sexte_v of_o s._n paul_n namely_o that_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o â—hat_n if_o our_o manifest_a deed_n do_v prove_v we_o too_o be_v rebel_n against_o god_n then_o sure_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v tickle_v with_o any_o wicked_a lust_n inward_o although_o the_o same_o be_v not_o know_v of_o man_n to_o make_v we_o faulty_a to_o the_o worldward_n god_n will_v find_v a_o infinite_a number_n yea_o even_o a_o whole_a sea_n of_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v utter_o drown_v in_o cursednesse_n to_o all_o respect_n till_o god_n look_v mercyful_o upon_o we_o and_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n how_o we_o must_v apply_v this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n too_o our_o instruction_n namely_o that_o for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o consider_v not_o by_o the_o vice_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o we_o that_o god_n come_v to_o examine_v our_o life_n therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o second_o that_o when_o we_o see_v our_o sin_n to_o be_v such_o as_o be_v know_v and_o manifest_a to_o all_o man_n and_o utter_o unexcusable_a yea_o even_o before_o child_n we_o must_v be_v lead_v further_o thereby_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n we_o must_v search_v ourselves_o to_o the_o bottom_n and_o understand_v that_o all_o our_o lust_n and_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v utter_a rebelliousnesse_n against_o god_n now_o if_o every_o man_n be_v diligent_a in_o examine_v himself_o after_o this_o fashion_n sure_o we_o shall_v all_o of_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o sigh_v and_o groan_v all_o pride_n &_o loftiness_n will_v be_v lay_v down_o yea_o and_o we_o will_v be_v

and_o clean_o behind_o our_o back_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n forget_v they_o not_o howbeit_o if_o we_o will_v that_o he_o shall_v forget_v they_o it_o will_v behoove_v we_o to_o remember_v they_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n whereunto_o s._n paul_n incourage_v we_o in_o this_o text_n furthermore_o we_o see_v what_o fondness_n and_o ignorance_n or_o rather_o beastliness_n have_v be_v in_o the_o popish_a doctor_n in_o that_o they_o have_v think_v this_o word_n flesh_n too_o be_v token_n nothing_o else_o in_o man_n but_o fleshliness_n or_o sensuality_n as_o they_o term_v it_o for_o thus_o do_v they_o part_v it_o they_o be_v content_v to_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n in_o all_o our_o lust_n which_o they_o term_v by_o the_o name_n of_o inferior_a or_o low_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n say_v they_o we_o have_v our_o will_n free_a yea_o even_o in_o such_o
according_a to_o god_n will_n to_o be_v short_a the_o examine_n of_o our_o life_n can_v not_o lie_v and_o heerewithall_o s._n paul_n mean_v also_o to_o confirm_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o speak_v

neither_o here_o nor_o there_o before_o god_n according_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o that_o such_o as_o will_v needs_o be_v most_o devout_a have_v neither_o end_n nor_o measure_n of_o their_o

judge_v by_o comparison_n be_v a_o very_a fond_a thing_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v to_o say_v he_o mean_v not_o that_o when_o we_o have_v examine_v our_o life_n we_o have_v wherefore_o too_o commend_v and_o esteem_v ourselves_o but_o that_o all_o the_o praise_n 〈…〉_o challenge_v too_o themselves_o be_v but_o wound_n and_o smoke_n and_o stark_o lie_v because_o their_o gaze_v be_v at_o themselves_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v in_o love_n with_o his_o own_o image_n mark_v i_o a_o little_a child_n when_o one_o show_v he_o a_o glass_n he_o know_v not_o

be_v wondrous_a fellow_n and_o why_o so_o whereupon_o do_v they_o ground_v themselves_o or_o what_o reason_n move_v they_o but_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o themselves_o to_o be_v of_o more_o value_n than_o they_o that_o be_v able_a to_o show_v they_o the_o way_n for_o see_v here_o what_o they_o will_v allege_v o_o say_v they_o such_o a_o man_n be_v well_o esteem_v but_o yet_o he_o have_v such_o a_o fault_n and_o such_o a_o fault_n in_o he_o so_o that_o when_o a_o man_n vice_n be_v search_v out_o if_o they_o be_v condemn_v you_o see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o sport_n of_o little_a child_n therefore_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v s._n paul_n say_v that_o to_o make_v a_o a_o good_a trial_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o well_o ground_a praise_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v stand_v before_o god_n we_o must_v try_v ourselves_o if_o a_o man_n say_v yea_o but_o may_v a_o man_n praise_v himself_o it_o be_v so_o certain_a that_o we_o must_v be_v void_a of_o all_o glory_n to_o put_v in_o ure_n that_o which_o we_o have_v seen_v in_o another_o text_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v glory_v in_o god_n the_o question_n than_o be_v not_o whither_o man_n may_v be_v praise_v or_o no_o but_o s._n paul_n have_v say_v condicional_o that_o if_o any_o man_n will_v be_v praise_v of_o god_n he_o must_v withdraw_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v into_o his_o secret_a chamber_n and_o consider_v what_o manner_n of_o one_o he_o be_v and_o then_o will_v he_o be_v no_o more_o so_o foolish_a as_o to_o commend_v himself_o or_o to_o say_v tush_o i_o be_o worth_a as_o much_o as_o such_o a_o one_o i_o be_o as_o good_a a_o man_n as_o he_o when_o this_o greere_n be_v pull_v down_o then_o shall_v a_o man_n see_v whither_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v praise_v or_o no._n now_o of_o a_o truth_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o spark_n of_o praise_n in_o we_o at_o least_o wise_a that_o we_o may_v challenge_v as_o our_o own_o nevertheless_o we_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o have_v praise_n in_o our_o god_n which_o be_v much_o better_a than_o if_o we_o be_v hoyss_v above_o the_o cloud_n for_o when_o man_n deceive_v themselves_o with_o a_o vain_a opinion_n or_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n laugh_v upon_o they_o it_o seem_v to_o they_o that_o they_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n but_o it_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o make_v they_o tumble_v down_o &_o break_v their_o neck_n lo_o whereuntoo_o all_o this_o presumption_n that_o blind_v we_o serve_v us._n but_o when_o we_o once_o know_v what_o it_o be_v too_o seek_v praise_n in_o god_n then_o be_v we_o in_o the_o way_n too_o be_v right_o knit_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o stand_v upon_o a_o good_a and_o sure_a 〈…〉_o and_o esteem_v according_a whereunto_o we_o see_v how_o s._n paul_n glori_v in_o his_o good_a conscience_n and_o in_o his_o uprightness_n he_o say_v that_o they_o who_o he_o have_v win_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o gospel_n be_v his_o crown_n or_o garland_n and_o all_o god_n servant_n may_v say_v as_o much_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o they_o must_v part_v stake_n with_o god_n as_o they_o do_v which_o allege_v their_o own_o virtue_n and_o deserve_n who_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n do_v make_v as_o it_o be_v ydoll_n of_o themselves_o but_o that_o the_o faithful_a have_v confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o by_o god_n free_a goodness_n rejoice_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o always_o reserve_v too_o he_o his_o due_n therefore_o when_o we_o desire_v not_o too_o have_v any_o thing_n too_o ourselves_o alone_o from_o god_n but_o depend_v upon_o he_o and_o upon_o his_o mere_a grace_n then_o shall_v we_o have_v praise_n howbeit_o in_o ourselves_o say_v s._n paul_n and_o not_o in_o other_o folk_n now_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v but_o in_o ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o the_o praise_n spring_v in_o ourselves_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o sinner_n but_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o that_o which_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o which_o be_v that_o so_o long_o as_o man_n stand_v upon_o compare_v of_o themselves_o with_o other_o folk_n they_o do_v but_o deceive_v themselves_o for_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o we_o be_v little_a angel_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v never_o a_o whit_n better_o than_o devil_n and_o why_o for_o we_o liken_v ourselves_o but_o too_o such_o as_o be_v stark_o nought_o and_o utter_o corrupt_v now_o if_o ever_o this_o warning_n be_v necessary_a it_o be_v most_o necessary_a now_o adays_o for_o although_o there_o have_v be_v much_o
