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

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

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

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 shall_v be_v draw_v unto_o he_o whereunto_o he_o incourage_v yea_o and_o beseech_v we_o as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o corinthian_n 20._o it_o be_v not_o a_o great_a shame_n 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 have_v he_o do_v on_o his_o side_n what_o have_v he_o offend_v we_o nay_o contrariwise_o we_o cease_v not_o to_o provoke_v he_o daily_o against_o we_o and_o yet_o he_o come_v too_o say_v unto_o we_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 damn_v and_o forlorn_a and_o yet_o come_v he_o to_o seek_v unto_o we_o and_o desire_v nothing_o but_o too_o have_v th●_n atonement_n make_v after_o that_o manner_n speak_v saint_n paul_n word_n for_o

thereupon_o he_o conclude_v in_o the_o end_n that_o if_o we_o seek_v rightuousnesse_n in_o the_o law_n jesus_n chryst_n die_v in_o vain_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o if_o we_o iutende_v to_o

he_o come_v because_o god_n utter_v his_o power_n most_o manifest_o in_o he_o so_o then_o when_o as_o s._n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n he_o presuppose_v that_o it_o be_v already_o sufficient_o justify_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o office_n of_o he_o and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o pretend_v be_v not_o a_o false_a surmise_n after_o the_o

in_o many_o as_o well_o of_o ephesus_n of_o colossus_n and_o of_o philippos_n as_o of_o other_o place_n and_o where_o be_v all_o this_o succession_n now_o if_o any_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v up_o &_o send_v by_o he_o now_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v erst_o say_v there_o ought_v to_o be_v cause_n why_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v discern_v and_o not_o

to_o the_o intent_n to_o wind_v themselves_o in_o by_o their_o presumptuousnesse_n but_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o try_v what_o be_v in_o they_o that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o god_n call_v and_o

on_o the_o behalf_n of_o man_n for_o thereby_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v authorize_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v his_o servant_n the_o second_o point_n where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v

all_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o world_n be_v nothing_o nay_o rather_o it_o shall_v always_o turn_v to_o our_o harm_n because_o that_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n receyve_v we_o into_o his_o

although_o such_o manner_n of_o man_n do_v seek_v unto_o god_n yet_o do_v they_o set_v the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n for_o they_o ought_v to_o set_v god_n love_n in_o the_o first_o &_o chief_a

we_o mark_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o s._n paul_n have_v here_o set_v down_o two_o thing_n joint_o together_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o god_n must_v first_o receyve_v we_o

now_o such_o manner_n of_o prosperity_n may_v as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o be_v well_o wish_v for_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n must_v be_v our_o

content_v with_o this_o that_o god_n accept_v us._n and_o therewithal_o he_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v favour_v we_o but_o for_o his_o own_o son_n sake_n in_o who_o be_v his_o whole_a delight_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v 6._o as_o well_o in_o the._n xuj_o chapter_n of_o s._n matthew_n as_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o ephesian_n then_o if_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n but_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n it_o will_v make_v we_o afraid_a and_o we_o can_v not_o

and_o to_o enjoy_v all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o for_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o any_o other_o than_o to_o his_o own_o only_a son_n who_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o all_o

it_o be_v certain_a that_o nothing_o put_v we_o out_o of_o god_n favour_n but_o our_o own_o sinfulness_n for_o we_o see_v that_o his_o mercy_n extend_v itself_o even_o to_o the_o sparowe_n that_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n and_o unto_o the_o brute_n beast_n for_o when_o as_o god_n bring_v forth_o grass_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o make_v other_o fodder_n too_o grow_v for_o cattle_n 8._o it_o be_v

whereby_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o transgression_n be_v blot_v out_o so_o that_o god_n have_v now_o forget_v all_o our_o wretchedness_n behold_v we_o as_o his_o own_o and_o as_o those_o on_o

the_o force_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n how_o that_o therein_o we_o find_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o that_o whereas_o we_o be_v erst_o

by_o fasten_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v offer_v for_o if_o we_o have_v not_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v

and_o merciful_a before_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o what_o will_v he_o do_v now_o when_o we_o have_v so_o sure_a a_o warrant_n and_o that_o the_o gospel_n also_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o to_o

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

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

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 salvation_n of_o free_a gift_n because_o it_o be_v give_v we_o simple_o of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o bring_v not_o any_o thing_n with_o we_o to_o the_o attainment_n thereof_o but_o only_a a_o eager_a

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

dispatch_v the_o mynd_n of_o our_o own_o desert_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o utter_a wretchedness_n in_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n have_v yet_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 they_o be_v make_v too_o believe_v what_o other_o man_n ly_v and_o thereby_o bring_v in_o subjection_n too_o a_o slavishe_a bondage_n too_o be_v rob_v of_o the_o quietness_n of_o conscience_n which_o

the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n under_o the_o which_o we_o be_v hilde_n in_o bondage_n as_o for_o example_n according_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o hereafter_o for_o as_o now_o i_o do_v

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

to_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n without_o waver_v one_o way_n or_o other_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o christian_n no_o nor_o yet_o to_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o baptism_n but_o we_o must_v continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o our_o lord_n

of_o god_n his_o father_n now_o the_o gospel_n show_v wherefore_o he_o be_v come_v what_o his_o office_n be_v the_o benefit_n that_o we_o receyve_v by_o he_o and_o what_o his_o power_n be_v towards_o

when_o we_o be_v plunge_v in_o so_o many_o error_n trumperye_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v utter_o unknown_a too_o us._n see_v that_o god_n have_v now_o of_o his_o own_o

this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n furthermore_o to_o put_v the_o galathians_n to_o the_o great_a shame_n he_o set_v before_o they_o their_o call_n

in_o the_o matter_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o say_v therefore_o he_o cast_v the_o galathians_n in_o the_o
christ_n and_o thereupon_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o among_o they_o which_o trouble_v they_o and_o will_v overthrow_v the_o gospel_n of_o

that_o go_v about_o to_o disguise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o thrust_v in_o some_o mingling_n and_o addition_n use_v two_o argument_n the_o one_o be_v that_o he_o have_v behave_v

of_o his_o own_o head_n but_o have_v receive_v his_o matter_n by_o heavenly_a revelation_n from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v well_o these_o two_o argument_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v perceyve_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v not_o without_o cause_n declare_v heretofore_o that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o he_o ought_v too_o be_v of_o good_a credit_n &_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o live_a creature_n to_o strive_v against_o it_o herupon_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o general_a rule_n how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v sure_a of_o our_o faith_n for_o the_o angel_n shall_v not_o come_v down_o to_o speak_v to_o we_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n but_o we_o must_v be_v teach_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o as_o i_o

from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o perceive_v that_o by_o the_o two_o reason_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o whereof_o the_o one_o be_v that_o such_o as_o teach_v we_o have_v a_o desire_n and_o zeal_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o arm_v not_o themselves_o with_o the_o title_n &_o name_n of_o man_n no_o nor_o hauè_fw-fr any_o thing_n at_o all_o of_o man_n

for_o one_o point_n second_o beside_o their_o good_a zeal_n they_o must_v also_o have_v a_o certainty_n of_o doctrine_n so_o as_o he_o that_o speak_v may_v not_o take_v any_o thing_n upon_o he_o nor_o

and_o all_o mouth_n else_o be_v stop_v save_v only_o in_o way_n of_o harken_v that_o his_o doctrine_n may_v be_v know_v unto_o us._n now_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o where_o s._n paul_n protest_v his_o good_a mind_n he_o say_v that_o he_o do_v not_o council_n or_o persuade_v according_o to_o man_n but_o according_a to_o god_n ▪_o and_o hereby_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o go_v not_o to_o work_v with_o a_o worldly_a affection_n but_o have_v labour_v to_o apply_v himself_o simple_o unto_o god_n see_v he_o have_v be_v call_v by_o he_o &_o also_o that_o he_o have_v take_v jesus_n christ_n for_o his_o master_n so_o as_o he_o lay_v not_o forth_o any_o thing_n but_o he_o nor_o take_v any_o backfence_n of_o man_n as_o those_o do_v which_o will_v allure_v simple_a &_o ignorant_a folk_n unto_o

open_v we_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n too_o show_v we_o that_o he_o hold_v we_o all_o for_o his_o child_n and_o that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o

then_o must_v god_n utter_v yet_o a_o second_o work_v and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o both_o twain_o of_o they_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n first_o that_o he_o have_v

wherein_o god_n have_v set_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n grant_v a_o singular_a grace_n too_o such_o as_o have_v charge_n too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n when_o he_o voutchsafe_v too_o apply_v they_o thereunto_o and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o which_o be_v in_o that_o state_n and_o office_n shall_v walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n

tolerable_a and_o easly_a receyve_v of_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o among_o the_o papist_n many_o be_v so_o wilful_a as_o they_o will_v never_o abide_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v varye_v

but_o he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v reprove_v and_o confess_v his_o fault_n see_v we_o have_v such_o a_o precedent_n in_o the_o person_n of_o peter_n it_o follow_v that_o our_o case_n be_v good_a

but_o with_o such_o as_o have_v be_v convert_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o live_v familiar_o with_o they_o account_v they_o as_o member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o behold_v

the_o evil_a that_o be_v to_o great_a already_o in_o respect_n whereof_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o peter_n be_v blameworthy_a and_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v this_o thing_n well_o and_o diligent_o because_o some_o have_v think_v in_o time_n past_a that_o it_o be_v do_v by_o agreement_n bytwixt_a they_o &_o that_o s._n peter_n be_v sorry_a that_o some_o of_o his_o countryman_n be_v to_o hard_o to_o be_v please_v &_o therefore_o have_v tell_v s._n paul_n secret_o that_o he_o be_v content_v to_o be_v rebuke_v of_o he_o but_o
folk_n their_o apsie_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v come_v in_o above_o he_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o state_n of_o perfection_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v see_v how_o the_o pope_n make_v

continue_v still_o do_v likewise_o darken_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n speak_v express_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o

without_o exception_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o first_o reason_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o so_o to_o be_v short_a let_v we_o keep_v ourselves_o true_a scholar_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

trial_n too_o know_v whither_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o be_v if_o we_o perceyve_v how_o great_a need_n we_o have_v that_o god_n shall_v pour_v out_o his_o mercy_n upon_o we_o too_o succour_v we_o by_o

by_o only_a violence_n it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o welfare_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o note_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o matter_n after_o that_o sort_n aforehand_o 23._o according_a also_o as_o saint_n peter_n treat_v thereof_o more_o full_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n where_o he_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v so_o crucify_v by_o the_o

he_o be_v not_o ignorant_a what_o shall_v happen_v afterward_o for_o he_o have_v already_o determine_v and_o ordain_v it_o then_o must_v we_o match_v these_o two_o thing_n toogither_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o
god_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n say_v determinate_o that_o who_o soever_o hang_v upon_o tree_n shall_v be_v accurse_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o that_o it_o be_v his_o will_n therewithal_o that_o his_o own_o son_n shall_v be_v hang_v on_o tree_n and_o why_o so_o too_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v bear_v our_o burden_n according_a as_o he_o be_v our_o pledge_n &_o ordain_v to_o be_v the_o principal_a debtor_n in_o our_o behalf_n to_o the_o end_n than_o that_o we_o may_v be_v set_v free_a from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n jesus_n christ_n become_v accurse_v now_o at_o the_o first_o fight_v it_o may_v seem_v hard_a and_o strange_a that_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n he_o that_o have_v all_o sovereign_a dominion_n and_o before_o who_o majesty_n the_o very_a angel_n of_o heaven_n do_v tremble_v and_o be_v abash_v shall_v be_v subject_a too_o curse_v but_o we_o must_v go_v back_o too_o that_o which_o s._n paul_n have_v treat_v of_o in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n 23._o namely_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v foolishness_n too_o mankind_n yea_o even_o too_o the_o wyze_a of_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v god_n will_v too_o humble_v we_o after_o that_o manner_n because_o of_o our_o unthankfulness_n for_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o good_a instruction_n to_o lead_v we_o unto_o god_n yea_o even_o in_o wisdom_n if_o we_o can_v profit_v ourselves_o by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v show_v we_o in_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o heaven_n &_o earth_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o man_n be_v blind_a and_o shut_v their_o eye_n against_o this_o wisdom_n that_o god_n set_v afore_o they_o therefore_o he_o be_v fain_o too_o take_v a_o new_a way_n to_o the_o wood_n and_o too_o draw_v they_o to_o he_o as_o it_o be_v by_o folly_n so_o then_o let_v we_o not_o judge_v after_o our_o own_o mother_n wit_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v declare_v here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v put_v under_o the_o curse_n but_o rather_o let_v we_o be_v

they_o and_o so_o little_a ought_v this_o thing_n to_o imbace_v the_o majesty_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o to_o deface_v that_o which_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o rather_o have_v cause_n too_o glorify_v he_o the_o more_o for_o it_o 6._o and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o say_v s._n paul_n commit_v no_o robbery_n when_o he_o

man_n but_o also_o submit_v himself_o to_o a_o death_n that_o be_v both_o shameful_a before_o man_n yea_o and_o accurse_v before_o god_n then_o must_v it_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v very_o dear_a unto_o he_o see_v he_o yield_v himself_o too_o such_o extremity_n for_o our_o redemption_n if_o we_o can_v taste_v the_o meen_a hereof_o sure_o we_o will_v give_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o the_o magnify_n of_o that_o grace_n which_o can_v be_v sufficient_o express_v by_o word_n and_o surpass_v all_o wisdom_n of_o man_n see_v therefore_o that_o we_o comprehend_v it_o not_o nor_o can_v utter_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o it_o let_v we_o yet_o be_v as_o it_o be_v astonish_v at_o it_o in_o consider_v so_o much_o of_o it_o as_o we_o be_v able_a too_o comprehend_v but_o here_o we_o see_v

clean_o from_o the_o church_n when_o they_o hear_v this_o manner_n of_o our_o reedeme_a set_n afore_o us._n what_o say_v they_o be_v it_o of_o necessity_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o aught_o too_o make_v we_o all_o holy_a shall_v be_v curse_v it_o seem_v too_o they_o that_o god_n in_o so_o do_v mean_v too_o pervert_v all_o order_n and_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o not_o only_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n and_o the_o mirror_n of_o all_o rightuousnesse_n holiness_n and_o perfection_n but_o also_o the_o very_a wellspring_n thereof_o

be_v ransome_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n god_n intend_v thereby_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o true_a humility_n but_o that_o can_v be_v unless_o man_n be_v utter_o confound_v in_o themselves_o so_o as_o they_o be_v ashamed_a too_o look_v upon_o themselves_o and_o therewithal_o also_o afraid_a and_o dismay_v know_v that_o god_n wrath_n wait_v ready_a for_o they_o till_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v remedy_n the_o matter_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o all_o our_o whole_a life_n be_v loathsome_a before_o god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n for_o we_o too_o come_v too_o atonement_n

thing_n but_o it_o be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o that_o be_v pay_v for_o our_o ransom_n therefore_o
that_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v give_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o in_o to_o diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o fullness_n nature_n and_o force_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n when_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n nevertheless_o it_o suffice_v that_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n that_o by_o his_o mean_n man_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n now_o if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v more_o than_o need_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v some_o change_n and_o variableness_n in_o god_n purpose_n see_v the_o law_n come_v in_o saint_n paul_n discuss_v the_o same_o in_o place_n convenient_a and_o we_o must_v not_o huddle_n up_o thing_n together_o for_o all_o can_v be_v utter_v at_o once_o neither_o in_o a_o hour_n nor_o in_o a_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o at_o this_o time_n too_o have_v this_o point_n make_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o promise_n whereby_o

the_o suffice_v of_o a_o mediator_n to_o make_v we_o way_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n this_o be_v grant_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o promise_n have_v abide_v and_o shall_v abide_v for_o ever_o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o be_v say_v express_o because_o the_o jew_n glory_v of_o their_o auncetrie_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o their_o father_n abraham_n have_v not_o the_o law_n but_o be_v content_v though_o he_o use_v sacrifise_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o although_o he_o be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o end_n yet_o when_o he_o

that_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o bounteousness_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o say_a lineage_n of_o abraham_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v already_o

the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a promise_n unto_o abraham_n be_v not_o for_o his_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fullness_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o seed_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o of_o mo_z than_o one_o but_o of_o one_o only_a seed_n which_o must_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v jesus_n christ_n here_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o saint_n paul_n buzy_v his_o head_n about_o a_o needless_a matter_n for_o the_o word_n seed_n import_v a_o lineage_n or_o offspring_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o some_o one_o man_n or_o ten_o or_o forty_o but_o a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n that_o it_o be_v just_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v twelve_o nation_n for_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o people_n it_o will_v be_v think_v enough_o to_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o they_o together_o and_o there_o be_v many_o mo_z in_o the_o only_a tribe_n of_o juda_n so_o than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o sufficient_o consider_v what_o god_n mean_v by_o the_o word_n seed_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o only_a man_n but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o

one_o son_n alone_o but_o after_o ishmael_n he_o have_v isaac_n also_o and_o what_o become_v of_o his_o elder_a son_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o house_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v within_o a_o while_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v behold_v then_o ishmael_n which_o have_v the_o birthright_n in_o abraham_n house_n be_v nevertheless_o put_v out_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a

no_o mo_z leave_v but_o jacob_n yea_o and_o although_o the_o father_n bliss_v his_o son_n jacob_n through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n 37_o yet_o he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o

of_o his_o household_n but_o the_o heritage_n be_v take_v quite_o and_o clean_o from_o they_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v consider_v after_o a_o peculiar_a
fashion_n let_v we_o go_v forward_o with_o the_o whole_a process_n we_o see_v that_o without_o faith_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o bond_n to_o knit_v any_o church_n together_o nor_o any_o assurance_n whereby_o to_o know_v which_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n or_o to_o discern_v it_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n but_o by_o resort_v to_o the_o head_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n to_o our_o

of_o abraham_n as_o he_o discourse_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n 6_o where_o he_o say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o come_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o therefore_o israelites_n and_o why_o for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o promise_a child_n which_o be_v isaac_n 19_o so_o then_o we_o must_v come_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o all_o god_n promise_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o and_o in_o who_o they_o have_v their_o substance_n for_o without_o he_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o soatter_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n to_o the_o colossian_n 20._o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n office_n be_v to_o gather_v together_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v scatter_v as_o well_o in_o

to_o the_o world_n whereupon_o be_v put_v and_o add_v this_o condition_n that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o that_o be_v contain_v therein_o god_n have_v yield_v a_o record_n of_o his_o will_n before_o hand_n which_o be_v that_o because_o he_o see_v mankind_n damn_v and_o forlorn_a he_o intend_v to_o draw_v out_o a_o choose_a sort_n to_o himself_o and_o to_o be_v merciful_a to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v not_o for_o one_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o nation_n as_o the_o scripture_n express_v and_o there_o of_o the_o foundation_n be_v lay_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v already_o in_o the_o time_n of_o abraham_n ordain_v to_o be_v a_o mediator_n to_o make_v atonement_n between_o god_n and_o we_o so_o that_o if_o we_o go_v in_o his_o name_n to_o seek_v favour_n it_o be_v ready_a for_o we_o and_o we_o can_v be_v disappoint_v of_o our_o hope_n see_v it_o be_v so_o establish_v there_o be_v no_o

covenant_n which_o be_v so_o ratify_v in_o his_o name_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v endure_v for_o ever_o and_o be_v always_o of_o force_n you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o may_v come_v free_o before_o god_n and_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n because_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o for_o his_o chidren_n which_o thing_n he_o have_v not_o do_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a mercy_n and_o because_o we_o be_v make_v one_o with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o way_n like_v as_o we_o must_v reject_v all_o

before_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o glass_n by_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v accurse_v for_o us._n faith_n therefore_o can_v be_v without_o repentance_n for_o it_o be_v unpossible_a that_o we_o shall_v seek_v our_o welfare_n in_o god_n or_o desire_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n till_o misery_n touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a and_o make_v we_o to_o mislike_v of_o it_o and_o so_o these_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 faith_n but_o god_n give_v abraham_n all_o thing_n in_o respect_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v too_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o law_n must_v needs_o cease_v when_o man_n go_v about_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 good_n among_o you_o but_o yet_o how_o soever_o the_o father_n deal_v with_o they_o he_o have_v none_o other_o respect_n than_o too_o his_o own_o kinship_n he_o labour_v and_o take_v great_a pain_n 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 thief_n and_o must_v yield_v account_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o good_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v of_o god_n even_o too_o the_o last_o drop_n of_o water_n because_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v 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 we_o be_v make_v clean_o 5._o that_o be_v the_o way_n for_o we_o too_o use_v they_o lawful_o but_o let_v faith_n be_v away_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o unclennesse_n for_o why_o if_o my_o hand_n be_v foul_a and_o i_o handle_v the_o pretious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n with_o they_o they_o shall_v be_v ray_v with_o the_o filthiness_n of_o my_o hand_n even_o so_o be_v it_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 abuse_v they_o if_o we_o possess_v they_o not_o with_o faith_n
you_o see_v then_o that_o we_o can_v enjoy_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o unless_o we_o be_v god_n child_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o four_o too_o the_o roman_n 13._o think_v it_o not_o enough_o too_o set_v down_o the_o heavenly_a life_n and_o everlasting_a salvation_n but_o also_o name_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o world_n and_o say_v that_o abraham_n be_v

that_o he_o will_v be_v gracious_a untoo_o we_o it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o while_o we_o live_v here_o beneath_o we_o shall_v be_v feed_v by_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o in_o give_v we_o food_n make_v we_o too_o taste_v aforehand_o of_o the_o love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o and_o of_o the_o care_n that_o he_o have_v over_o us._n too_o be_v short_a we_o may_v and_o ought_v also_o too_o

they_o here_o to_o be_v short_a look_v how_o many_o help_v god_n have_v give_v we_o too_o draw_v we_o too_o he_o so_o many_o let_v have_v we_o too_o hold_v we_o back_o in_o the_o world_n for_o we_o

that_o it_o stand_v we_o great_o on_o hand_n too_o perceyve_v that_o god_n do_v already_o in_o this_o world_n show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o and_o intend_v too_o do_v we_o too_o wit_n what_o a_o care_n he_o have_v of_o we_o too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v too_o refer_v ourselves_o whole_o untoo_o he_o and_o there_o too_o rest_n you_o see_v then_o that_o by_o this_o word_n heritage_n or_o inheritance_n god_n show_v first_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o offer_v we_o be_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a bounteousness_n and_o second_o that_o we_o be_v so_o curse_v that_o we_o

so_o as_o they_o be_v fain_o too_o die_v too_o give_v we_o sustenance_n and_o too_o clothe_v we_o and_o keep_v we_o warm_v again_o we_o see_v how_o the_o earth_n yield_v we_o fruit_n therefore_o the_o

whereas_o he_o use_v these_o two_o speech_n and_o cupple_v they_o toogither_o they_o be_v thing_n flat_o contrary_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o not_o that_o the_o law_n be_v contrary_a

of_o the_o law_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v a_o remedy_n for_o it_o which_o be_v to_o run_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o all_o our_o need_n who_o be_v make_v subject_a

will_v well_o enough_o grant_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v untoo_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o welfare_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n

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
