yet_o shall_v we_o beside_o likewise_o see_v what_o cruelty_n they_o use_v against_o the_o poor_a child_n of_o god_n lay_v continual_o strange_a platfourme_n to_o the_o devise_v of_o edict_n upon_o edict_n to_o bring_v this_o doctrine_n utter_o to_o naught_o we_o shall_v also_o see_v at_o this_o day_n what_o vile_a and_o scornful_a speech_n profane_a man_n will_v have_v because_o they_o will_v abolish_v all_o religion_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o god_n be_v above_o they_o all_o &_o the_o doctrine_n victorious_a &_o proceed_v from_o he_o wherefore_o this_o aught_o to_o confirm_v we_o that_o although_o we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n to_o advance_v the_o dominion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o gospel_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n rather_o hinder_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o find_v a_o entrance_n &_o keep_v his_o course_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o be_v convince_v of_o unthankfulnes_n if_o we_o take_v any_o offence_n thereat_o see_v god_n call_v we_o unto_o himself_o &_o show_v we_o that_o it_o be_v his_o handy_a work_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v miraculous_a to_o see_v the_o gospel_n thus_o prosper_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n how_o we_o must_v put_v in_o practice_v this_o doctrine_n in_o these_o day_n yet_o there_o be_v something_o more_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v disfigure_v the_o prophet_n have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o a_o small_a twig_n but_o that_o which_o be_v more_o he_o shall_v be_v contemn_v refuse_v &_o not_o once_o vouchsafe_v to_o be_v look_v on_o neither_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v and_o this_o be_v to_o declare_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v be_v vile_o esteem_v of_o the_o world_n and_o suffer_v all_o reproach_n and_o shame_n as_o if_o man_n have_v not_o only_o forsake_v he_o but_o god_n also_o now_o to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o great_o to_o be_v desire_v in_o he_o in_o who_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o likelihood_n this_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v overcome_v this_o temptation_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a point_n first_o because_o the_o jew_n look_v for_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n for_o this_o be_v so_o covetous_a &_o proud_a a_o nation_n as_o that_o they_o think_v god_n can_v not_o show_v himself_o merciful_a unto_o they_o except_o he_o heap_v on_o they_o great_a riches_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v live_v glorious_o &_o in_o all_o pleasure_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o redeemer_n it_o be_v that_o they_o look_v for_o and_o yet_o have_v god_n thorough_o advertise_v they_o that_o the_o redeemer_n shall_v be_v like_a unto_o a_o little_a twig_n who_o the_o world_n shall_v refuse_v and_o this_o admonition_n be_v not_o only_o necessary_a for_o they_o but_o also_o as_o necessary_a for_o we_o even_o at_o this_o day_n for_o this_o offence_n remain_v after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o s._n luke_n say_v that_o the_o gentile_n make_v a_o mock_n as_o it_o be_v at_o jesus_n christ_n &_o the_o jew_n be_v venimous_o &_o malicious_o arm_v against_o he_o &_o stumble_v at_o he_o as_o at_o a_o stumble_a stone_n and_o of_o these_o example_n we_o have_v enough_o even_o at_o this_o day_n with_o us._n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o consider_v so_o much_o the_o more_o of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v be_v thus_o misshapen_v and_o ill_o favour_v and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o in_o he_o worthy_a commendation_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n for_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v always_o have_v this_o note_n which_o s._n john_n speak_v of_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o he_o howbeit_o there_o be_v many_o blind_a fool_n which_o never_o understand_v thus_o much_o now_o when_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shalbée_v like_o a_o misshapen_a &_o forlorn_a man_n &_o full_a of_o deformity_n he_o signify_v hereby_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o natural_a man_n to_o understande_v that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o save_v they_o &_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v all_o power_n both_o of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o that_o the_o fullness_n of_o all_o righteousness_n wisdom_n and_o holiness_n shall_v be_v in_o he_o no_o man_n i_o say_v be_v able_a to_o conceive_v this_o in_o his_o head_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v many_o notable_a miracle_n which_o testify_v his_o heavenly_a power_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o remain_v still_o disfigure_v and_o the_o faithless_a perceive_v it_o never_o a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o this_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n have_v full_o be_v accomplish_v 45.3_o psal_n 45.3_o that_o there_o be_v no_o gloriousnes_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o draw_v man_n to_o like_v of_o he_o it_o be_v very_o right_o say_v of_o the_o psalmist_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v glorious_o and_o

in_o he_o even_o unto_o all_o those_o that_o have_v have_v their_o eye_n and_o be_v able_a to_o see_v he_o loe_o then_o how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v surpass_v all_o man_n in_o beauty_n because_o god_n have_v give_v he_o infallible_a mark_n &_o token_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v know_v that_o he_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o lively_a image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n 1.14_o john_n 1.14_o we_o have_v then_o sufficient_a reason_n enough_o to_o magnify_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n howbeit_o the_o world_n know_v it_o not_o and_o so_o we_o must_v come_v back_o again_o unto_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o every_o man_n have_v turn_v his_o back_n and_o close_v up_o his_o eye_n as_o against_o a_o most_o horrible_a and_o detestable_a thing_n what_o to_o seek_v for_o

we_o all_o know_v &_o have_v have_v too_o too_o much_o experience_n in_o ourselves_o that_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v abase_v in_o his_o death_n even_o so_o will_v our_o faith_n he_o

because_o we_o be_v stubborn_a &_o that_o none_o of_o we_o think_v once_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n but_o be_v altogether_o blind_v in_o our_o offence_n howbeit_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o peace_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v to_o be_v reconcile_v by_o a_o other_o mean_a i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o of_o very_a right_n hate_n and_o detest_v we_o for_o as_o shall_v be_v

and_o therefore_o i_o say_v must_v god_n in_o this_o respect_n rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o we_o because_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v his_o very_a office_n to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v

we_o feel_v in_o despite_n of_o our_o tooth_n that_o we_o be_v altogether_o malicious_a and_o unthankful_a wherefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o we_o to_o be_v assure_v to_o find_v favour_n with_o he_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o feel_v his_o correction_n not_o that_o god_n be_v desirous_a of_o revenge_n as_o man_n be_v for_o a_o man_n

only_o cause_v he_o to_o suffer_v the_o most_o gréevous_a torment_n in_o body_n that_o may_v be_v but_o also_o so_o extreme_o afflict_v his_o soul_n as_o that_o he_o make_v he_o to_o cry_v out_o and_o

day_n hear_v the_o gospel_n preach_v we_o ought_v to_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v the_o charge_n which_o god_n commit_v unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o thing_n which_o come_v from_o himself_o as_o indeed_o it_o do_v moreover_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v bear_v great_a reverence_n unto_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v not_o say_v only_o that_o jesus_n christ_n deliver_v it_o but_o that_o it_o be_v also_o do_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o very_a natural_a son_n of_o god_n even_o so_o likewise_o be_v he_o man_n and_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o our_o flesh_n and_o nature_n now_o under_o this_o shadow_n as_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o the_o world_n be_v wicked_a a_o man_n may_v under_o a_o colour_n take_v occasion_n to_o

for_o our_o salvation_n moreover_o because_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n be_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o most_o principal_a point_n we_o have_v therefore_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o order_n as_o it_o follow_v s._n luke_n then_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n after_o he_o have_v suffer_v show_v himself_o alive_a unto_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o by_o many_o manifest_a proof_n which_o be_v not_o without_o good_a cause_n for_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n speak_v on_o our_o faith_n will_v still_o hang_v in_o suspense_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v assure_v

we_o have_v no_o more_o hope_n then_o very_a beast_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o our_o hope_n be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n indeed_o which_o he_o have_v get_v yea_o even_o to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o life_n and_o death_n 4.15_o rom._n 4.15_o saint_n paul_n also_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v

of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o principal_a point_n of_o christianity_n we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o

saint_n luke_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v we_o such_o proof_n of_o his_o resurrection_n let_v we_o not_o call_v that_o thing_n into_o question_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v so_o

also_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o speech_n which_o a_o fourd_v a_o argument_n that_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o present_a proof_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v what_o pain_n the_o evangelist_n have_v take_v in_o this_o matter_n for_o when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n they_o lay_v forth_o all_o the_o circumstance_n and_o beside_o they_o recyte_v all_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o

he_o set_v down_o this_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n wherein_o he_o show_v that_o when_o god_n will_v punish_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o world_n

down_o all_o creature_n into_o the_o bottomeles_a depth_n because_o that_o when_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o in_o we_o save_o sin_n and_o

a_o few_o which_o will_v travel_v to_o seek_v for_o he_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o the_o prophet_n stand_v always_o upon_o this_o

ground_v we_o see_v then_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v down_o so_o abundant_o that_o it_o be_v to_o none_o other_o end_n but_o that_o all_o such_o as_o be_v estrange_v from_o the_o

this_o place_n we_o must_v lay_v open_a the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v say_v he_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n that_o i_o will_v pour_v my_o spirit_n upon_o all_o

that_o although_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o all_o flesh_n yet_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v not_o receive_v he_o because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a many_o be_v bereave_v thereof_o nevertheless_o god_n call_v we_o all_o but_o we_o unthankeful_o and_o wicked_o withstand_v he_o and_o this_o be_v always_o a_o true_a say_n that_o none_o come_v to_o he_o but_o such_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n draw_v by_o this_o also_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o if_o we_o come_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o humble_o hold_v we_o there_o we_o shall_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o abundant_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o communicate_v they_o unto_o our_o neighbour_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o all_o in_o general_a howbeit_o it_o be_v very_o far_o of_o that_o all_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o because_o we_o refuse_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v offer_v

of_o god_n wherefore_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o many_o receive_v not_o the_o grace_n which_o be_v offer_v they_o although_o they_o be_v all_o call_v here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o prophet_n than_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n in_o very_a deed_n the_o prophet_n his_o meaning_n be_v to_o use_v this_o general_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o show_v that_o god_n will_v bring_v some_o of_o all_o estate_n and_o age_n to_o know_v he_o and_o also_o because_o he_o make_v now_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_a for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v every_o where_n we_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v even_o the_o very_a first_o among_o all_o other_o nation_n who_o know_v the_o true_a god_n and_o although_o the_o

thus_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v no_o wonder_n in_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n now_o the_o doctrine_n which_o at_o the_o beginning_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n come_v first_o of_o all_o to_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_n of_o ezechiel_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o river_n shall_v overflowe_v even_o unto_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n wherein_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n have_v never_o be_v spread_v abroad_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o be_v send_v unto_o the_o apostle_n to_o have_v disperse_v their_o doctrine_n throughout_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o right_o consider_v how_o god_n by_o his_o incomprehensible_a wisdom_n have_v wonderful_o wrought_v to_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v publish_v for_o although_o jesus_n christ_n have_v very_o sufficient_o instruct_v the_o apostle_n yet_o be_v they_o but_o gross_a head_a until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o after_o they_o have_v receive_v he_o see_v how_o they_o become_v of_o simple_a soul_n such_o great_a and_o learned_a clerk_n as_o that_o they_o understand_v the_o diversity_n of_o tongue_n the_o want_n of_o which_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o prophet_n joel_n say_v that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o his_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n moreover_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v here_o in_o this_o place_n this_o say_n that_o the_o old_a man_n and_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v whereby_o he_o declare_v that_o both_o old_a and_o young_a shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o now_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o gloze_n to_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o this_o speech_n all_o flesh_n because_o the_o very_a text_n sufficient_o show_v his_o meaning_n now_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o young_a man_n shall_v prophesy_v he_o speak_v then_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o time_n in_o those_o day_n because_o god_n use_v these_o two_o kind_n of_o mean_n with_o his_o servant_n either_o in_o vision_n or_o else_o in_o dream_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 12.6_o num._n 12.6_o that_o god_n will_v show_v himself_o unto_o his_o prophet_n by_o vision_n &_o speak_v unto_o they_o in_o dream_n but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v with_o his_o servant_n moses_n mouth_n to_o

use_v these_o term_n yet_o do_v he_o it_o only_o to_o fit_v himself_o unto_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o be_v because_o we_o shall_v not_o say_v but_z that_o we_o have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o

appoint_v the_o offering_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o the_o old_a law_n which_o be_v but_o figure_n and_o shadow_n to_o be_v oftentimes_o use_v that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o man_n can_v not_o

fulfil_v every_o thing_n by_o his_o alone_a sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v now_o no_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o purge_n and_o sanctifi_v of_o sin_n 1.11_o mala._n 1.11_o but_o only_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n unto_o our_o god_n who_o therewith_o be_v well_o please_v through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o although_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n

leave_v the_o figure_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o truth_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o altar_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v do_v all_o the_o world_n through_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n shall_v universal_o be_v worship_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o the_o pope_n with_o all_o his_o college_n of_o cardinal_n and_o all_o

that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o appear_v nor_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v yet_o come_v nevertheless_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o see_v the_o prophet_n have_v thus_o say_v it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o show_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v universal_o worship_v in_o spirit_n &_o truth_n and_o not_o in_o figure_n moreover_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o say_n of_o prophecy_n be_v not_o mean_v by_o the_o prophet_n to_o tell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o in_o the_o old_a time_n it_o be_v take_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v have_v

christ_n must_v whole_o alter_v their_o nature_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v the_o latter_a day_n moreover_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v for_o a_o day_n

the_o holy_a ghost_n let_v we_o then_o conclude_v hereupon_o that_o unto_o the_o time_n that_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o be_v reprobate_a and_o the_o child_n of_o perdition_n because_o it_o be_v he_o which_o sanctifi_v and_o make_v we_o holy_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o then_o until_o such_o time_n we_o be_v as_o call_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a

be_v in_o hell_n and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v 8.14_o rom._n 8.14_o that_o they_o which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n guide_v themselves_o

their_o carnal_a affection_n give_v themselves_o over_o to_o their_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o all_o those_o that_o will_v be_v

unto_o all_o but_o we_o be_v so_o accurse_v as_o that_o we_o forsake_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o will_v bestow_v upon_o us._n and_o herein_o be_v know_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o we_o ward_n that_o although_o we_o strive_v always_o against_o his_o will_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o offer_v himself_o unto_o all_o as_o it_o be_v here_o say_v by_o the_o prophet_n that_o

in_o such_o sort_n neither_o but_o that_o he_o always_o have_v a_o great_a prerogative_n over_o his_o child_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n he_o shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o

that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v such_o slander_n and_o reproach_n that_o we_o may_v look_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o seek_v for_o our_o triumph_n and_o victory_n there_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v

if_o we_o shall_v desire_v it_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v too_o too_o faint_a heart_a wherefore_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_v that_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o

even_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o which_o cause_n let_v not_o we_o fear_v but_o that_o the_o glory_n which_o he_o will_v give_v we_o shall_v so_o terrify_v our_o enemy_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v our_o footstool_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o scripture_n howbéet_fw-mi saint_n paul_n here_o namely_o set_v down_o who_o they_o be_v that_o must_v

that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n we_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o his_o come_n but_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o of_o health_n and_o joy_n for_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a number_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a throat_n say_v what_o i_o beseech_v you_o good_a sir_n think_v you_o that_o we_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o the_o rest_n thus_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o

their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o

also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a

help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o

all_o government_n over_o we_o and_o we_o to_o be_v only_o he_o see_v he_o seek_v only_o our_o salvation_n now_o to_o conclude_v it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v bring_v

before_o a_o earthly_a judge_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o condemnation_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o feel_v 45.23_o isai_n 45.23_o before_o the_o

and_o therefore_o since_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o can_v stand_v before_o his_o face_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o must_v needs_o be_v enforce_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n and_o although_o we_o have_v live_v but_o one_o year_n yet_o have_v we_o commit_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o fault_n which_o deserve_v everlasting_a condemnation_n and_o be_v so_o engrave_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o we_o can_v deny_v it_o wherefore_o since_o god_n be_v clear_a

we_o have_v here_o before_o already_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n so_o willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v make_v a_o sheriffee_n for_o the_o repair_n and_o blot_v out_o of_o our_o iniquity_n

6.15_o but_o yet_o no_o earthly_a prince_n for_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v crown_v he_o he_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o hide_v he_o in_o a_o mountain_n and_o thereby_o he_o
