these_o word_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v rich_a in_o mercy_n quicken_v we_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a according_a too_o the_o great_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v we_o trew_n it_o be_v

such_o like_a which_o have_v be_v choose_v from_o among_o that_o people_n when_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v cut_v of_o for_o although_o the_o jew_n be_v the_o first_o bear_v and_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

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 se●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 receive_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v handle_v every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o worthiness_n but_o wherein_o shall_v god_n goodness_n be_v magnify_v even_o in_o this_o that_o he_o

if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o must_v there_o needs_o be_v election_n so_o as_o god_n must_v take_v the_o one_o sort_n because_o he_o think_v it_o good_a so_o to_o do_v &_o leave_v the_o other_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o most_o assure_a point_n that_o god_n glory_n do_v not_o appear_v &_o shine_v forth_o as_o be_v requisite_a except_o it_o be_v know_v that_o he_o shed_v forth_o his_o

to_o be_v gospeler_n and_o even_o among_o ourselves_o what_o a_o number_n be_v there_o which_o will_v show_v sign_n great_a enough_o that_o they_o be_v willing_a too_o follow_v god_n word_n but_o

and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o hereupon_o saint_n paul_n add_v further_a that_o we_o must_v be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o charity_n this_o word_n charity_n or_o love_n may_v be_v take_v as_o well_o for_o the_o love_n that_o god_n bear_v we_o as_o for_o the_o mutual_a love_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v one_o towards_o another_o but_o the_o very_a true_a and_o native_a sense_n of_o saint_n paul_n here_o be_v that_o he_o mean_v too_o have_v we_o knit_v together_o for_o as_o he_o speak_v heretofore_o of_o god_n free_a love_n towards_o we_o so_o now_o he_o show_v how_o faith_n import_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v brotherly_a love_v one_o towards_o another_o and_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bring_v we_o always_o to_o that_o point_n insomuch_o that_o when_o there_o be_v any_o speak_n of_o the_o full_a perfection_n of_o good_a life_n faith_n go_v before_o &_o then_o come_v charity_n next_o unto_o it_o for_o the_o end_n that_o we_o

of_o heaven_n therefore_o do_v he_o of_o good_a right_a say_v that_o man_n must_v not_o only_a praise_n god_n for_o once_o and_o away_o but_o also_o that_o there_o be_v cause_n too_o continue_v the_o

too_o understand_v that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v preserve_v for●_n ever_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v always_o remain_v some_o seed_n of_o it_o in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o the_o record_n of_o

strengthen_v in_o such_o hope_n by_o it_o as_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o merciful_a toward_o we_o ever_o after_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v too_o he_o that_o be_v able_a too_o do_v all_o thing_n exceed_v abundant_o above_o our_o ask_n or_o think_v now_o we_o see_v here_o how_o s._n paul_n warn_v we_o that_o if_o god_n have_v use_v great_a mercifulness_n towards_o we_o heretofore_o we_o must_v not_o doubt_v of_o his_o continue_v of_o the_o same_o because_o he_o be_v not_o like_o mortal_a man_n which_o be_v fickle_a mind_v neither_o must_v we_o be_v afraid_a that_o his_o fountain_n will_v dry_v when_o he_o shall_v have_v bestow_v great_a benefit_n upon_o we_o already_o why_o so_o for_o he_o have_v such_o store_n of_o they_o that_o the_o more_o we_o take_v to_o our_o contentation_n the_o great_a abundance_n have_v he_o still_o we_o see_v then_o the_o mean_v too_o dispose_v ourselves_o too_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a

will_v grant_v well_o enough_o that_o god_n be_v almighty_a but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o trust_v never_o the_o more_o in_o he_o too_o their_o seem_n he_o take_v his_o rest_n in_o

if_o a_o man_n brag_v that_o he_o have_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v neither_o lowliness_n nor_o gentleness_n nor_o patience_n he_o make_v the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o liar_n who_o not_o

insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v right_o hard_a for_o we_o too_o be_v low_o mind_v towards_o man_n when_o we_o can_v hold_v ourselves_o meek_o in_o obedience_n under_o god_n now_o then_o let_v we_o fight_v in_o such_o wise_n as_o all_o pride_n may_v be_v correct_v in_o we_o and_o therewithal_o enforce_v ourselves_o always_o too_o humility_n that_o we_o may_v be_v kind_a heart_a and_o fellowlyke_a with_o

which_o need_v not_o the_o help_n of_o one_o that_o seem_v his_o inferior_a yea_o and_o a_o rascal_n in_o comparison_n of_o himself_o neither_o can_v we_o live_v one_o day_n in_o this_o world_n without_o communicate_v together_o our_o lord_n bridle_v we_o in_o this_o aforehand_o because_o he_o see_v we_o be_v as_o it_o be_v harebrayn_v and_o will_v hardly_o be_v keep_v in_o unity_n but_o here_o he_o treat_v of_o the_o spiritual_a gift_n whereby_o god_n show_v that_o he_o be_v a_o father_n too_o we_o and_o hold_v we_o as_o the_o housholdfolke_n of_o his_o church_n let_v the_o perfect_a man_n that_o be_v examine_v himself_o and_o he_o shall_v find_v that_o his_o receive_n of_o more_o than_o other_o man_n have_v be_v in_o such_o wise_n that_o it_o be_v by_o measure_n howsoever_o the_o

when_o we_o have_v our_o measure_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o two_o point_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v afore_o 43._o namely_o that_o he_o which_o have_v receive_v the_o large_a measure_n be_v the_o more_o strait_o bind_v too_o employ_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o too_o the_o common_a benefit_n of_o the_o church_n and_o moreover_o that_o he_o must_v help_v himself_o by_o his_o neighbour_n and_o consider_v that_o he_o can_v forbear_v they_o and_o therefore_o conform_v himself_o quiet_o unto_o they_o and_o seek_v no_o more_o but_o to_o be_v as_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n that_o all_o of_o we_o may_v hold_v on_o together_o too_o our_o head_n desirous_a that_o jesus_n christ_n may_v have_v such_o pre-eminence_n over_o we_o as_o every_o of_o we_o may_v obey_v he_o and_o he_o lead_v we_o too_o god_n his_o father_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v in_o speak_v of_o the_o say_a measure_n now_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o mark_v well_o how_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v he_o in_o who_o we_o be_v link_v together_o for_o as_o have_v be_v show_v heretofore_o what_o be_v our_o spiritual_a kindred_n although_o it_o spring_v of_o god_n as_o of_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n yet_o can_v it_o not_o flow_v down_o unto_o we_o except_o jesus_n christ_n be_v among_o we_o 10._o and_o that_o we_o be_v gather_v together_o by_o his_o means_n according_o also_o as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n how_o it_o be_v his_o office_n too_o gather_v all_o thing_n together_o both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n that_o be_v scatter_v asunder_o before_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v not_o give_v man_n such_o perfection_n that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o can_v live_v of_o himself_o alone_o we_o must_v cling_v together_o in_o peace_n and_o concord_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n can_v well_o have_v make_v we_o perfect_a out_o of_o hand_n so_o as_o nothing_o shall_v have_v want_v in_o we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v no_o niggard_n in_o enrich_v we_o with_o his_o good_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o know_v too_o be_v for_o our_o behoof_n see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v infirmity_n in_o we_o why_o do_v not_o god_n knit_v we_o too_o he_o
assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o god_n son_n have_v not_o come_v down_o unto_o we_o there_o have_v be_v no_o mean_a for_o we_o too_o have_v come_v unto_o god_n his_o father_n for_o besyd_n that_o we_o be_v plunge_a here_o in_o mire_n and_o have_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a frailty_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o bear_v as_o good_a as_o a_o hell_n about_o we_o because_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n call_v the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n 11._o so_o then_o see_v we_o be_v under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o satan_n and_o of_o sin_n how_o can_v we_o mount_v upward_o if_o jesus_n christ_n draw_v we_o not_o but_o first_o it_o behove_v christ_n too_o come_v down_o hither_o and_o thereby_o be_v we_o teach_v to_o worship_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n always_o in_o the_o person_n which_o he_o have_v take_v of_o the_o mediator_n and_o whereas_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o unholy_a folk_n take_v occasion_n too_o despise_v he_o because_o he_o be_v crucify_v let_v we_o honour_v he_o still_o as_o he_o deserve_v for_o whereas_o his_o greatness_n and_o majesty_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n darken_v for_o a_o time_n that_o be_v too_o give_v the_o great_a beauty_n too_o his_o mercy_n

the_o dungeon_n of_o death_n and_o so_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o consider_v upon_o the_o apostle_n word_n where_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o abse_z and_o whereas_o he_o add_v that_o he_o go_v up_o above_o all_o the_o heaven_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o in_o one_o word_n that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o mean_v too_o exempt_v he_o

for_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o go_v whether_o soever_o god_n appoint_v they_o now_o see_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o tie_v too_o any_o place_n notwithstanding_o that_o their_o essence_n be_v not_o

insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n it_o intend_v not_o too_o assign_v he_o some_o peculiar_a place_n the_o respect_n be_v far_o differ_v and_o

speak_v of_o god_n we_o must_v always_o lay_v this_o ground_n that_o he_o have_v a_o infinite_a essence_n which_o fill_v all_o thing_n 1._o so_o that_o heaven_n be_v as_o his_o royal_a throne_n &_o the_o earth_n be_v his_o footstool_n not_o that_o he_o have_v any_o foot_n nor_o any_o seat_n to_o sit_v on_o but_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n so_o far_o or_o wide_o that_o can_v contain_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n which_o be_v infinite_a as_o i_o say_v that_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n when_o god_n be_v speak_v of_o unto_o we_o and_o why_o then_o be_v it_o say_v that_o god_n be_v above_o all_o the_o heaven_n and_o why_o do_v saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n here_o of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v because_o that_o we_o be_v dull_a and_o earthly_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v not_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v his_o temple_n &_o palace_n in_o heaven_n we_o will_v tie_v he_o too_o every_o pillar_n to_o

every_o thing_n that_o we_o see_v therefore_o too_o correct_v such_o vice_n our_o lord_n say_v too_o we_o mount_v up_o mount_v up_o aloft_o as_o though_o he_o lift_v we_o by_o the_o chi●●es_n and_o

how_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o he_o 9_o and_o when_o we_o say_v our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o he_o as_o he_o call_v we_o at_o all_o hour_n not_o that_o we_o must_v imagine_v as_o the_o papist_n do_v who_o think_v too_o please_v god_n with_o their_o much_o babble_n and_o with_o their_o use_n of_o many_o

in_o respect_n of_o his_o essence_n he_o be_v equal_a too_o his_o father_n so_o as_o he_o fill_v all_o thing_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o have_v put_v on_o a_o humane_a body_n he_o be_v above_o the_o heaven_n so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v too_o fond_a a_o grossness_n too_o say_v why_o then_o and_o be_v not_o the_o two_o nature_n so_o knit_v together_o as_o

saint_n paul_n have_v exhort_v we_o too_o thing_n that_o be_v very_o hard_a yea_o and_o utter_o repugnant_a too_o man_n nature_n and_o which_o can_v be_v bring_v too_o pass_v except_o god_n work_v

admit_v that_o another_o man_n have_v offend_v i_o what_o then_o can_v i_o try_v myself_o righteous_a and_o guiltless_a when_o i_o shall_v come_v before_o god_n alas_o there_o be_v so_o many_o

this_o warning_n of_o s._n paul_n whensoever_o we_o be_v move_v too_o impatiency_n for_o any_o displeasure_n or_o wrong_n so_o as_o we_o have_v any_o desire_n of_o revenge_n let_v we_o learn_v let_v

ourselves_o do_v the_o like_a or_o far_o worse_a on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o god_n have_v redeem_v we_o yea_o and_o special_o by_o that_o most_o precious_a pledge_n of_o the_o blood_n shed_v of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o have_v we_o deserve_v that_o again_o what_o cause_n have_v move_v god_n too_o be_v so_o merciful_a towards_o we_o nothing_o else_o but_o our_o wretchedness_n now_o see_v that_o he_o which_o be_v so_o good_a and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o of_o our_o nature_n have_v notwithstanding_o have_v compassion_n of_o our_o wretchedness_n wherein_o we_o be_v plunge_a what_o shall_v we_o do_v aught_v not_o we_o too_o have_v much_o more_o compassion_n one_o of_o another_o because_o we_o find_v the_o thing_n in_o ourselves_o which_o we_o pardon_v in_o

we_o than_o there_o be_v and_o we_o will_v not_o so_o soon_o fall_v out_o for_o every_o wrong_n that_o be_v do_v we_o for_o aught_o we_o not_o too_o think_v early_o and_o late_o and_o day_n and_o

then_o if_o we_o be_v loath_a too_o forgive_v our_o unthankfulness_n bewray_v itself_o therein_o how_o that_o we_o consider_v not_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n as_o he_o show_v it_o

therefore_o be_v utter_o against_o he_o for_o that_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o belong_v nothing_o at_o all_o too_o he_o true_o as_o in_o respect_n that_o we_o be_v but_o only_a man_n adam_n sin_n have_v so_o alienate_v we_o from_o god_n that_o theroutof_o spring_v malice_n spitefulness_n pride_n excessive_a passion_n and_o wicked_a desire_n of_o revenge_a and_o it_o separate_v we_o from_o

which_o make_v his_o son_n too_o shine_v both_o upon_o good_a and_o bad_a for_o too_o say_v that_o we_o be_v god_n child_n too_o call_v upon_o he_o too_o pretend_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n and_o

daily_o according_o as_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o teach_v we_o too_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o that_o say_n be_v too_o be_v understand_v now_o furthermore_o s._n paul_n add_v as_o we_o have_v see_v already_o to_o the_o galatian_n that_o covetous_a folk_n be_v idolater_n 20._o true_o this_o matter_n be_v well_o worthy_a too_o be_v

galatian_n i_o declare_v there_o why_o s._n paul_n call_v covetous_a folk_n idolater_n it_o shall_v suffice_v too_o touch_v the_o pith_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o few_o word_n for_o as_o touch_v other_o vice_n they_o do_v in_o deed_n make_v we_o too_o forget_v god_n what_o be_v the_o inordinate_a lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n everywhichone_o of_o they_o but_o idol_n for_o every_o man_n be_v harry_v away_o after_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o desire_v so_o as_o he_o set_v all_o his_o heart_n and_o mind_n upon_o they_o and_o forget_v god_n therefore_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o all_o

unto_o satan_n nevertheless_o covetousness_n be_v just_o call_v idolatry_n because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v once_o give_v himself_o thereunto_o he_o jet_v his_o whole_a

there_o be_v yet_o some_o shamefastness_n in_o they_o and_o why_o because_o they_o can_v so_o blind_v man_n but_o that_o they_o will_v speak_v shame_n of_o they_o for_o it_o and_o although_o the_o whole_a world_n clap_v their_o hand_n at_o they_o and_o know_v no_o whit_n of_o their_o lewdness_n yet_o shall_v they_o themselves_o be_v enforce_v too_o have_v some_o hartbyte_n you_o see_v then_o that_o all_o such_o as_o offend_v god_n any_o other_o way_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v shall_v yet_o be_v hold_v in_o awe_n by_o some_o fear_n and_o have_v some_o remnant_n of_o discretion_n leave_v in_o

another_o thereupon_o when_o he_o cast_v up_o his_o account_n he_o will_v say_v bliss_v be_v god_n that_o have_v prosper_v i_o so_o well_o insomuch_o that_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o great_a

folk_n be_v at_o that_o point_n that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o fear_n of_o god_n too_o stay_v they_o and_o hold_v they_o back_o therefore_o be_v they_o term_v idolater_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o mischief_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o worse_a point_n which_o be_v that_o they_o set_v all_o their_o felicity_n in_o their_o riches_n and_o do_v so_o forget_v themselves_o as_o they_o think_v there_o can_v no_o harm_n happen_v too_o they_o wherethrough_o they_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o such_o pride_n that_o they_o thrust_v god_n a_o hundred_o league_n of_o from_o they_o as_o the_o proverb_n

which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o this_o world_n and_o too_o live_v at_o ease_n be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v too_o desire_v but_o too_o know_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v we_o

let_v we_o have_v it_o well_o print_v in_o our_o heart_n now_o than_o if_o we_o be_v desirous_a too_o enjoy_v this_o promise_n of_o god_n let_v every_o of_o

the_o disobedience_n and_o sin_n of_o our_o father_n adam_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v turn_v topsiteruie_o also_o on_o the_o other_o part_n inasmuch_o as_o servant_n be_v in_o such_o subjection_n it_o

as_o they_o can_v not_o be_v blame_v for_o it_o saint_n paul_n then_o counsel_v master_n too_o assuage_v the_o excess_n of_o their_o superiority_n but_o yet_o will_v he_o have_v their_o servant_n too_o submit_v themselves_o too_o it_o and_o too_o bear_v the_o yoke_n that_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o heavy_a now_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o he_o do_v servant_n wrong_v therein_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v cry_v out_o against_o the_o common_a abuse_n that_o such_o outrage_n may_v have_v be_v lay_v down_o but_o we_o have_v two_o principle_n to_o remember_v to_o restrain_v we_o from_o attempt_v of_o any_o change_n the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o have_v be_v god_n will_v too_o put_v maynkynd_n into_o confusion_n and_o that_o all_o man_n both_o great_a and_o small_a shall_v be_v put_v in_o mind_n that_o adam_n have_v pervert_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n therefore_o s._n paul_n counsel_v servant_n to_o bear_v such_o subjection_n assure_v themselves_o 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 exhort_v servant_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n in_o fear_n and_o tremble_a that_o be_v too_o say_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o reverence_n yea_o and_o he_o add_v further_o with_o singleness_n of_o

the_o state_n wherein_o they_o be_v assure_v themselves_o that_o god_n allow_v of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o superiority_n which_o their_o master_n have_v over_o they_o how_o hard_a and_o grievous_a 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

mark_v the_o general_a article_n which_o i_o come_v now_o to_o touch_v which_o be_v that_o when_o we_o have_v superior_n over_o we_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v they_o as_o enforce_v 1._o but_o
because_o god_n have_v ordain_v they_o and_o there_o be_v no_o pre-eminence_n but_o of_o he_o as_o saint_n paul_n declare_v to_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o he_o speak_v express_o of_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o extend_v too_o all_o authority_n as_o too_o that_o which_o parent_n have_v over_o their_o child_n husband_n over_o wife_n and_o

come_v too_o pass_v if_o there_o be_v no_o restraint_n but_o that_o some_o shall_v rule_v and_o have_v authority_n too_o command_v other_o and_o that_o they_o which_o be_v under_o they_o shall_v obey_v then_o be_v it_o a_o unrevocable_a sentence_n of_o god_n whereunto_o we_o must_v hold_v ourselves_o and_o be_v content_v for_o if_o we_o protest_v ourselves_o too_o be_v willing_a too_o obey_v god_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n will_v needs_o remove_v all_o order_n that_o he_o have_v set_v among_o we_o all_o that_o we_o speak_v with_o our_o mouth_n be_v but_o hypocrisy_n therefore_o we_o

who_o have_v give_v he_o more_o authority_n than_o i_o but_o see_v god_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o hold_v our_o peace_n therefore_o if_o we_o be_v

among_o man_n yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o worth_a before_o god_n and_o why_o for_o god_n will_v be_v honour_v at_o our_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v man_n too_o enjoy_v their_o right_a in_o such_o wise_n as_o neither_o he_o be_v forget_v nor_o they_o as_o it_o be_v deface_v therefore_o if_o we_o will_v but_o only_o obey_v man_n and_o despise_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n will_v have_v too_o be_v as_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n too_o himself_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v that_o then_o let_v we_o tend_v always_o too_o he_o and_o dedicate_v ourselves_o too_o he_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v his_o
