37._o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o can_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o who_o be_v it_o

as_o also_o when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o god_n have_v deliver_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v live_v perfect_o and_o undefiled_a before_o he_o it_o be_v not_o for_o

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

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

they_o vouchsafe_v not_o too_o take_v it_o but_o do_v thrust_v it_o from_o they_o so_o then_o whereas_o s._n paul_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o galathians_n it_o be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o

and_o so_o consequent_o faith_n therefore_o to_o be_v
they_o be_v both_o one_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o but_o in_o this_o text_n the_o word_n faith_n have_v yet_o a_o more_o peculiar_a signification_n which_o be_v the_o revelation_n or_a

then_o by_o god_n mere_a grace_n and_o goodness_n for_o the_o great_a one_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o stoop_v and_o to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o the_o little_a one_o must_v needs_o wonder_v at_o

the_o everlasting_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n his_o father_n to_o wash_v away_o all_o our_o offence_n and_o misdeed_n now_o like_a as_o god_n show_v we_o that_o favour_n so_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n

to_o see_v man_n so_o beastly_a as_o they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v for_o our_o taste_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o god_n ought_v to_o tame_a us._n sure_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v good_a

he_o mean_v not_o too_o impeach_v the_o natural_a sense_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o we_o see_v how_o some_o have_v do_v who_o through_o their_o foolish_a curiosity_n of_o seek_v fond_a

to_o be_v his_o child_n they_o do_v he_o avow_v we_o to_o be_v the_o spiritual_a offspring_n of_o abraham_n how_o then_o can_v we_o be_v abraham_n child_n except_o we_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o faith_n you_o see_v then_o that_o paul_n handle_v of_o this_o point_n here_o be_v to_o good_a purpose_n namely_o to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o from_o all_o time_n out_o of_o mind_n then_o have_v not_o be_v any_o other_o mean_a to_o renew_v man_n to_o salvation_n and_o too_o bring_v they_o into_o god_n favour_n and_o love_n than_o by_o trust_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o flee_v altogether_o unto_o he_o for_o refuge_n thus_o you_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o young_a child_n be_v master_n of_o the_o house_n and_o that_o the_o inheritance_n belong_v to_o they_o though_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o enjoy_v it_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o age_n and_o here_o we_o have_v also_o to_o mark_v further_o that_o it_o be_v great_a wrong_n to_o the_o father_n of_o old_a time_n to_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o the_o fellowship_n and_o onement_n of_o the_o faith_n that_o be_v show_v here_o by_o saint_n paul_n for_o their_o life_n be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a because_o god_n keep_v they_o occupy_v with_o many_o affliction_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o father_n special_o of_o those_o who_o god_n mark_v out_o too_o make_v they_o excellent_a be_v all_o mirror_n of_o invincible_a patience_n for_o what_o thing_n endure_v abraham_n how_o hard_a and_o great_a encounter_n do_v he_o hear_v out_o what_o manner_n of_o temptation_n do_v isaac_n and_o likewise_o jacob_n abide_v again_o what_o virtue_n see_v we_o in_o david_n now_o if_o they_o have_v set_v their_o mind_n upon_o this_o world_n they_o have_v be_v in_o worse_a plight_n than_o the_o brute_n beast_n therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o look_v high_o and_o that_o do_v they_o witness_v sufficient_o not_o only_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n but_o also_o by_o deed_n then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o the_o point_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o father_n hope_v for_o the_o selfsame_o heritage_n that_o we_o look_v for_o even_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o we_o agree_v with_o abraham_n david_n &_o the_o other_o holy_a king_n &_o prophet_n in_o faith_n we_o shall_v be_v gather_v into_o the_o heavenly_a life_n with_o they_o &_o obtain_v the_o same_o crown_n of_o salvation_n with_o they_o 9_o which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o faith_n as_o s._n peter_n term_v it_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n furthermore_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n he_o do_v it_o always_o to_o magnify_v god_n grace_n towards_o we_o and_o the_o privilege_n which_o we_o obtain_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v much_o for_o we_o to_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o when_o it_o be_v say_v of_o we_o that_o god_n have_v advance_v we_o to_o a_o high_a degree_n by_o the_o gospel_n than_o ever_o abraham_n come_v unto_o for_o in_o asmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v he_o be_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n but_o we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v free_a from_o it_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n have_v exalt_v we_o above_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n and_o well_o ought_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o grace_n and_o to_o esteem_v it_o as_o it_o deserve_v to_o the_o end_n weâ—â—â—ay_v give_v ourselves_o to_o the_o serve_v of_o god_n with_o the_o earnest_a affection_n and_o zele_n 4._o but_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o s._n paul_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o any_o several_a person_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o he_o ought_v to_o confess_v himself_o to_o be_v much_o raw_a and_o weak_a in_o faith_n then_o be_v the_o prophet_n and_o patriarch_n and_o that_o do_v their_o life_n show_v full_a well_o then_o if_o we_o be_v not_o come_v to_o such_o perfection_n as_o they_o be_v how_o be_v it_o say_v that_o they_o be_v as_o little_a child_n and_o that_o we_o be_v nowadays_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o state_n of_o man_n i_o tell_v you_o before_o how_o s._n paul_n speak_v not_o of_o one_o man_n or_o other_o but_o of_o the_o common_a government_n of_o the_o church_n for_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o man_n themselves_o but_o of_o the_o fashion_n that_o god_n use_v in_o guide_v those_o that_o be_v he_o this_o will_v be_v show_v the_o better_a by_o
