and_o we_o will_v abhor_v he_o but_o he_o wind_v himself_o sly_o in_o and_o creep_v in_o at_o small_a cranny_n so_o as_o we_o shall_v wonder_v that_o he_o can_v prevail_v with_o we_o in_o sundry_a

which_o have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o that_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o intent_n too_o be_v receyve_v ground_v himself_o upon_o the_o

which_o speak_v and_o utter_v the_o word_n from_o above_o you_o see_v then_o that_o s._n paul_n be_v not_o chozen_v by_o mean_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o manner_n of_o chooze_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o be_v no_o fault_n in_o those_o that_o be_v shepeherde_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n but_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o s._n paul_n shall_v be_v privilege_v too_o the_o

too_o many_o variety_n and_o he_o that_o be_v cunning_a among_o man_n shall_v ever_o go_v away_o with_o the_o goal_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o have_v nothing_o certain_a but_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o change_v from_o day_n too_o day_n yea_o even_o every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o man_n allege_v the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o prelate_n or_o of_o bishop_n we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n that_o they_o can_v climb_v any_o high_a than_o too_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v allow_v of_o he_o first_o if_o they_o have_v be_v chozen_v by_o lawful_a order_n with_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o second_o if_o such_o be_v chozen_v as_o be_v meet_v that_o have_v in_o they_o wherewith_o to_o execute_v their_o office_n lo_o here_o the_o mark_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v and_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o they_o be_v such_o shepeherde_n as_o god_n allow_v and_o accept_v and_o herewithal_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n too_o be_v call_v too_o that_o vocation_n but_o he_o must_v also_o execute_v the_o charge_n that_o be_v commit_v too_o he_o according_a as_o s._n paul_n say_v not_o single_o that_o he_o be_v ordain_v a_o apostle_n but_o in_o take_v that_o name_n too_o he_o he_o show_v that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o bear_v abroad_o the_o message_n of_o salvation_n and_o too_o preach_v the_o gospel_n too_o the_o world_n therefore_o they_o that_o will_v be_v take_v for_o bishop_n and_o prelate_n must_v teach_v and_o if_o they_o be_v idol_n and_o dumb_a dog_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o they_o do_v shameful_o mock_v god_n name_n and_o abuse_v his_o majesty_n so_o also_o

have_v to_o mark_v upon_o this_o streyne_v now_o s._n paul_n say_v purposely_o that_o â—e_n be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o god_n his_o father_n who_o rayze_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a whereas_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v too_o bring_v we_o back_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o

too_o it_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o point_n that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o to_o he_o every_o of_o we_o play_v the_o rebel_n we_o be_v so_o wild_a that_o he_o can_v tame_v we_o whereby_o

without_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n reject_v all_o the_o protestation_n that_o we_o can_v make_v of_o our_o desirousnesse_n too_o serve_v and_o honour_v he_o thus_o be_v we_o exhort_v in_o this_o streyne_v to_o give_v ourselves_o whole_o over_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sing_v he_o be_v our_o only_a shepherd_n thereby_o to_o show_v that_o we_o be_v his_o true_a sheep_n and_o that_o we_o harken_v too_o his_o voice_n and_o discern_v it_o from_o the_o voice_n of_o stranger_n now_o sing_v that_o god_n show_v himself_o in_o such_o wise_n unto_o we_o as_o we_o know_v

too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n saint_n paul_n do_v here_o set_v down_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n as_o a_o overplus_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n

that_o we_o have_v suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n wherefore_o if_o we_o purpose_v that_o god_n shall_v allow_v of_o our_o seruis_fw-la let_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v constant_a firm_a and_o fast_o settle_v that_o we_o never_o swerve_v aside_o from_o our_o call_n but_o continue_v and_o go_v forward_o in_o it_o more_o and_o more_o howbeit_o for_o asmuch_o as_o this_o upbraid_v be_v very_o rigorous_a s._n paul_n mitigate_v it_o say_v if_o at_o leastwize_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a wherein_o he_o give_v the_o galathians_n a_o inkling_n that_o he_o hope_v much_o better_a of_o they_o and_o that_o although_o they_o be_v start_v aside_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o endure_v long_o but_o that_o upon_o warning_n and_o exhortation_n they_o will_v return_v again_o into_o the_o right_a way_n and_o in_o this_o text_n we_o see_v that_o when_o we_o be_v rebuke_v by_o god_n spirit_n it_o be_v not_o too_o make_v we_o fumish_a nor_o to_o drive_v we_o too_o such_o a_o desperateness_n that_o we_o shall_v take_v the_o bridle_n in_o our_o tooth_n and_o fall_v too_o chafe_v but_o rather_o too_o draw_v we_o to_o repentance_n god_n then_o intend_v not_o to_o make_v we_o so_o dismay_v as_o too_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o brier_n but_o after_o he_o have_v show_v we_o our_o fault_n he_o call_v we_o always_o home_o again_o too_o he_o and_o call_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a too_o receyve_v and_o take_v we_o too_o mercy_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o true_a lowliness_n to_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n and_o too_o acknowledge_v they_o unfayned_o and_o free_o sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o on_o our_o side_n be_v well_o advize_v that_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o fault_n that_o we_o have_v do_v we_o

as_o too_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v blame_v after_o as_o we_o have_v need_n and_o when_o rebuking_n shall_v seem_v somewhat_o with_o the_o sharp_a &_o prick_v to_o we_o let_v we_o always_o

all_o our_o fault_n afterward_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v as_o if_o s._n paul_n shall_v say_v that_o although_o we_o to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n have_v abolish_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o not_o withstand_v he_o on_o his_o part_n be_v loath_a they_o shall_v perish_v &_o will_v fain_o make_v they_o to_o prosper_v and_o thereunto_o he_o rebuke_v we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v not_o continue_v unamendable_a therefore_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v so_o far_o oversee_v as_o to_o stray_v from_o the_o right_a way_n yet_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o back_o too_o he_o and_o give_v we_o a_o mean_a to_o return_v again_o if_o our_o fault_n be_v not_o match_v with_o wilfulness_n now_o after_o that_o s._n paul_n have_v speak_v so_o he_o add_v again_o that_o god_n have_v deal_v forth_o the_o gift_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n among_o the_o galathians_n yea_o &_o that_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o somuch_o that_o the_o same_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v enough_o to_o hold_v they_o to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v without_o turn_v aside_o or_o wander_a away_o from_o it_o whereas_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o god_n spirit_n he_o meen_v not_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v treat_v of_o this_o morning_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o use_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o reason_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o the_o sequel_n namely_o that_o beside_o god_n show_v of_o himself_o general_o too_o all_o the_o galathians_n that_o he_o have_v adopt_v they_o for_o his_o child_n he_o have_v also_o ordain_v prophet_n among_o they_o and_o man_n endue_v some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n some_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o heal_a &_o othersome_a with_o such_o other_o like_a but_o all_o this_o come_v to_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o their_o turn_n back_o again_o to_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v a_o bury_n of_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o how_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o god_n communicate_v his_o spirit_n to_o all_o his_fw-la for_o without_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v christian_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o our_o nature_n god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o reform_v we_o &_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o may_v become_v as_o it_o be_v new_a creature_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n do_v make_v we_o general_o all_o parttaker_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o he_o enlighten_v with_o faith_n to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o cheer_v up_o to_o resort_v unto_o god_n to_o call_v upon_o he_o &_o to_o yield_v ourselves_o obedient_o to_o his_o will_n &_o to_o be_v short_a so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n spirit_n be_v common_a to_o
of_o the_o church_n at_o the_o come_n of_o the_o anoint_a and_o so_o be_v they_o also_o which_o have_v heretofore_o be_v separate_v a_o great_a way_n off_o not_o only_o from_o god_n but_o also_o one_o from_o another_o now_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n howbeit_o that_o we_o may_v profit_v the_o better_a by_o this_o text_n let_v we_o mark_v that_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o law_n by_o the_o angel_n so_o shall_v they_o bear_v witness_n against_o we_o if_o the_o law_n bear_v no_o sway_n with_o we_o and_o that_o we_o make_v none_o account_v of_o it_o but_o do_v as_o it_o be_v tread_v

god_n will_v his_o angel_n too_o be_v present_a and_o assist_v at_o the_o publish_n of_o his_o law_n therefore_o it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v be_v receyve_v with_o all_o reverence_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o can_v not_o perform_v all_o that_o the_o law_n command_v and_o if_o we_o shall_v stand_v upon_o that_o point_n we_o shall_v be_v plunge_v into_o everlasting_a death_n and_o utter_o overwhelm_v in_o despair_n but_o first_o of_o all_o see_v that_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a too_o we_o as_o too_o teach_v we_o his_o will_n too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_n let_v we_o bow_v down_o our_o neck_n and_o receyve_v the_o yoke_n that_o god_n lay_v upon_o we_o to_o make_v we_o subject_a unto_o he_o let_v that_o serve_v for_o one_o

let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o better_a see_v that_o the_o angel_n keep_v watch_n and_o ward_n about_o we_o &_o will_v not_o now_o after_o that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o in_o charge_n to_o authorise_v his_o law_n suffer_v we_o to_o despise_v it_o and_o misuse_v it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o furthermore_o as_o touch_v that_o the_o law_n curse_v we_o let_v we_o

and_o moreover_o where_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o law_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o resort_v whole_o to_o his_o

fantastical_a fellow_n which_o think_v they_o may_v be_v faithful_a without_o reading_n or_o preach_n bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ought_v to_o reveal_v himself_o too_o

for_o a_o special_a point_n that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v indever_n too_o profit_n in_o god_n word_n because_o that_o that_o be_v the_o place_n where_o all_o our_o

to_o day_n receyve_v that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n let_v we_o become_v true_a child_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o much_o for_o that_o point_n the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o we_o must_v discern_v and_o not_o be_v as_o beast_n that_o be_v drive_v over_o marise_n and_o overthwart_o the_o wide_a field_n but_o consider_v which_o be_v the_o church_n according_a as_o

and_o sanctuary_n then_o be_v it_o the_o true_a church_n and_o our_o mother_n and_o we_o may_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o god_n also_o avow_v and_o accept_v we_o as_o his_o child_n tâ—_n say_v i_o
