strengthen_v &_o make_v joyful_a and_o that_o be_v not_o do_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o by_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v a_o cheerful_a &_o happy_a tiding_n that_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n this_o belong_v to_o the_o poor_a say_v christ_n this_o be_v my_o intent_n for_o with_o the_o righteouse_a i_o have_v no_o place_n which_o will_v not_o be_v rebuke_v as_o sinner_n which_o persecute_v the_o gospel_n &_o condemn_v it_o as_o heresi_n say_v that_o good_a work_n be_v forbid_v thereby_o &_o that_o these_o word_n be_v blasphemous_a against_o moses_n &_o the_o law_n wherefore_o christ_n say_v after_o bless_a be_v he_o that_o be_v not_o offend_v by_o i_o you_o true_o bless_v for_o all_o the_o world_n be_v offend_v with_o this_o king_n offence_n &_o wish_v that_o he_o may_v soon_o be_v confound_v for_o they_o say_v that_o he_o turn_v all_o up_o side_n down_o that_o he_o condemn_v the_o righteous_a and_o suffer_v they_o not_o to_o be_v in_o his_o kingdom_n that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o geve_v heaven_n to_o the_o sinner_n what_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n be_v this_o say_v they_o wherein_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o good_a work_n and_o wherein_o the_o wicked_a have_v such_o a_o easy_a way_n to_o heaven_n christ_n can_v not_o be_v scotfree_a from_o this_o slander_n amongst_o his_o own_o neither_o can_v we_o be_v where_o as_o we_o be_v so_o bacbit_v of_o our_o adversary_n that_o we_o teach_v against_o good_a work_n &_o make_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n to_o easy_a but_o in_o this_o place_n be_v a_o sentence_n bless_a be_v he_o that_o be_v not_o offend_v in_o i_o for_o if_o thou_o consider_v christ_n doctrine_n well_o thou_o shall_v perceive_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o against_o good_a work_n as_o the_o papistical_a do_v false_o report_v this_o by_o us._n this_o we_o teach_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v necessary_a and_o earnest_o to_o be_v care_v for_o that_o nothing_o may_v be_v do_v against_o the_o word_n and_o conscience_n wherefore_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o disannul_v the_o civil_a power_n it_o do_v not_o abrogate_v the_o office_n of_o the_o magistrate_n why_o then_o do_v it_o offend_v thou_o and_o why_o do_v thou_o imagine_v that_o it_o forbid_v good_a work_v the_o gospel_n do_v not_o disallow_v neither_o forbydde_v good_a work_n they_o but_o it_o forbid_v this_o that_o when_o we_o must_v now_o dye_v and_o depart_v into_o a_o other_o life_n and_o when_o we_o be_v bring_v to_o our_o straits_n that_o then_o we_o put_v no_o trust_n in_o our_o own_o rightuousnes_n &_o work_n &_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o succour_n remain_v but_o only_o in_o christ_n and_o must_v stycke_v to_o his_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n only_o that_o by_o he_o we_o obtain_v grace_n and_o everlasting_a life_n for_o god_n geve_v such_o a_o body_n unto_o we_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v idle_a as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v that_o we_o walk_v on_o our_o foot_n put_v our_o hand_n to_o work_v that_o we_o speak_v with_o the_o mouth_n and_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n etc._n etc._n and_o for_o this_o have_v he_o put_v forth_o his_o word_n the_o ten_o commandment_n that_o we_o may_v compare_v all_o our_o work_n with_o they_o and_o not_o do_v contrary_a to_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o profit_n of_o our_o neighbour_n this_o gospel_n do_v not_o only_a permyt_n but_o also_o command_v we_o to_o do_v it_o diligent_o but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n be_v alone_o and_o void_a of_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o goth_v out_o of_o the_o world_n to_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n then_o do_v the_o gospel_n teach_v the_o to_o go_v a_o other_o way_n about_o wherefore_o if_o thou_o haste_v do_v that_o be_v godly_a in_o thy_o life_n thou_o can_v not_o maintain_v otherways_o the_o name_n of_o godliness_n in_o this_o life_n thou_o must_v thank_v god_n for_o that_o gift_n but_o in_o death_n beware_v that_o thou_o put_v no_o trust_n in_o this_o godliness_n as_o though_o thou_o have_v deserve_v heaven_n thereby_o but_o yield_v thyself_o whole_o to_o this_o king_n jesus_n christ_n who_o office_n it_o be_v as_z say_v the_o evangelist_n to_o help_v the_o blind_a lame_a lepres_n the_o deaf_a and_o dead_a to_o preach_v to_o the_o poor_a that_o be_v to_o comfort_v the_o trouble_v conscience_n for_o he_o be_v send_v from_o god_n the_o father_n not_o to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o to_o profit_v we_o to_o susteyn_a and_o comfort_n us._n they_o that_o will_v not_o use_v he_o after_o this_o sort_n but_o be_v offend_v rather_o with_o he_o and_o despise_v he_o as_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v yet_o to_o this_o day_n those_o shall_v he_o repress_v at_o his_o tyme._n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o offence_n that_o be_v to_o be_v avoid_v then_o also_o be_v christ_n a_o offence_n when_o man_n dare_v not_o confess_v he_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o fall_v from_o he_o in_o temptation_n furthermore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o offence_n when_o we_o have_v more_o respect_n to_o our_o hart_n and_o conscience_n &_o what_o be_v their_o intent_n than_o to_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v when_o the_o sorrow_n of_o our_o work_n &_o sin_v be_v great_a than_o comfort_n for_o christ_n mercy_n sake_n this_o be_v the_o common_a offence_n whereby_o all_o christian_a man_n at_o vex_a preacher_n so_o be_v christ_n every_o where_o in_o the_o world_n a_o offenceful_a teacher_n as_o he_o will_v show_v more_o plain_o after_o this_o gospel_n that_o man_n by_o this_o doctrine_n be_v offend_v &_o begin_v to_o despise_v and_o persecute_v it_o and_o that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v for_o this_o the_o sermon_n of_o the_o three_o city_n capernaum_n corazim_n &_o bethsaida_n do_v declare_v likewise_o the_o grevous_a complaint_n of_o christ_n against_o the_o jew_n be_v this_o where_o he_o declare_v john_n that_o rigorouse_a teacher_n of_o repentance_n do_v eat_v only_a honey_n and_o locust_n drink_v water_n &_o live_v a_o hard_a life_n but_o what_o prevail_v he_o thereby_o you_o say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o devil_n but_o i_o say_v he_o eat_v drink_v &_o show_v myself_o most_o full_a of_o humanity_n to_o all_o man_n &_o they_o call_v i_o a_o drinker_n of_o wine_n the_o adder_n be_v so_o froward_a that_o no_o man_n can_v satisfy_v they_o if_o a_o man_n live_v at_o liberty_n he_o be_v blame_v if_o he_o lyve_v straight_o he_o can_v not_o please_v they_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o to_o please_v the_o froward_a world_n it_o will_v be_v please_v very_o well_o if_o all_o that_o it_o do_v be_v allow_v where_o as_o never_o the_o less_o it_o do_v nothing_o that_o good_a be_v such_o offence_n must_v be_v patient_o suffer_v for_o if_o it_o be_v in_o such_o a_o hard_a case_n when_o christ_n teach_v himself_o thereof_o &_o all_o thing_n be_v full_a of_o his_o miracle_n that_o the_o blind_a do_v see_v the_o lame_a go_v the_o dead_a rise_n &_o it_o yet_o can_v nothing_o prevail_v hereby_o but_o that_o the_o word_n be_v despise_v yea_o rather_o christ_n the_o auctor_fw-la of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o shameful_o crucify_v the_o apostle_n drive_v out_o of_o jury_n &_o no_o where_o safe_a in_o all_o the_o world_n for_o this_o word_n sake_n what_o marvel_n be_v it_o then_o if_o the_o world_n hate_v the_o gospel_n without_o mercy_n &_o resist_v it_o &_o handle_v it_o most_o vilainous_o such_o be_v the_o fortune_n of_o christ_n &_o his_o apostle_n at_o that_o time_n so_o that_o it_o may_v seem_v more_o marvellous_a in_o they_o because_o they_o do_v not_o only_o preach_v but_o also_o wrought_v many_o notable_a &_o famous_a miracle_n wherefore_o we_o must_v endevoure_v oure self_o to_o bear_v this_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o take_v this_o rudeness_n well_o a_o worth_n for_o the_o fortune_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v never_o be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n wherewith_o man_n be_v always_o offend_v and_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n but_o man_n very_o holy_a righteous_a wise_a and_o mighty_a in_o the_o world_n as_o experience_n teach_v bless_a be_v they_o that_o knowledge_n that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v in_o good_a case_n and_o have_v both_o comfort_n and_o help_n against_o these_o offence_n but_o they_o that_o know_v it_o not_o be_v inflame_v for_o their_o good_a work_n sake_n they_o fall_v from_o this_o word_n to_o

that_o we_o shall_v follow_v they_o and_o not_o geve_v ourselves_o to_o our_o own_o wisdom_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v deceive_v and_o this_o have_v we_o speak_v as_o touch_v the_o circumcision_n of_o

be_v subject_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o circumcision_n because_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o the_o law_n have_v power_n on_o he_o for_o sin_n but_o christ_n be_v no_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o

and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v wherefore_o it_o be_v almost_o one_o with_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o last_o sunday_n and_o contain_v the_o same_o doctrine_n except_o that_o the_o matter_n be_v set_v

every_o man_n follow_v his_o own_o devise_n and_o go_v forth_o in_o his_o own_o way_n that_o may_v bring_v he_o to_o heaven_n wherefore_o god_n talk_v with_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o protest_v that_o he_o allow_v not_o that_o as_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o but_o that_o he_o put_v forth_o his_o word_n to_o show_v we_o the_o true_a way_n that_o be_v his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n salvation_n

think_n this_o with_o themselves_o we_o must_v so_o work_v by_o fast_o alm_n &_o prayer_n that_o we_o may_v be_v with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o think_v that_o this_o craftesman_n can_v save_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n take_v this_o order_n john_n that_o john_n shall_v come_v as_o a_o trompetter_n before_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_a of_o the_o trumpet_n that_o all_o
