that_o he_o will_v have_v the_o very_a heaven_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n thereof_o by_o hang_v up_o the_o body_n upon_o a_o gibbet_n and_o he_o will_v have_v all_o the_o element_n to_o be_v there_o

he_o you_o see_v how_o the_o jew_n pervert_v the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n which_o he_o bestow_v on_o they_o and_o yet_o he_o exercise_v they_o in_o as_o sundry_a sort_n as_o he_o may_v to_o

only_o make_v a_o buckler_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o of_o the_o other_o gift_n and_o benefit_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o continue_v a_o heathenish_a kind_n of_o people_n

then_o if_o a_o man_n look_v upon_o the_o outward_a appearance_n of_o the_o matter_n it_o will_v seem_v that_o moses_n behave_v himself_o faithful_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v condemn_v both_o he_o &_o his_o brother_n aaron_n and_o why_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o we_o must_v not_o always_o weigh_v our_o sin_n in_o our_o own_o balance_n

unto_o he_o that_z y_z e_z land_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a heritage_n whereunto_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n be_v to_o attain_v here_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a record_n that_o although_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o receive_v he_o with_o such_o reverence_n as_o to_o become_v like_o poor_a hungry_a soul_n so_o then_o we_o see_v how_o we_o have_v need_n of_o this_o warning_n that_o we_o must_v be_v gather_v up_o with_o who_o with_o those_o which_o have_v go_v before_o us._n and_o without_o that_o what_o comfort_n shall_v we_o have_v less_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n

hence_o will_v we_o have_v a_o infallible_a hope_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n let_v we_o have_v our_o eye_n upon_o the_o promise_n let_v we_o not_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o as_o a_o number_n

a_o immortality_n which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o as_o now_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o say_v i_o with_o this_o word_n of_o god_n mouth_n for_o all_o other_o thing_n &_o let_v we_o not_o scan_v after_o our_o own_o foolish_a fancy_n how_o the_o matter_n shall_v go_v but_o have_v god_n once_o speak_v the_o word_n let_v we_o hold_v we_o to_o it_o and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o moses_n mean_v here_o in_o say_v god_n swear_v to_o your_o father_n moreover_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n serve_v not_o for_o one_o age_n only_o but_o for_o all_o ever_o and_o keep_v his_o force_n and_o strength_n continual_o abraham_n isaak_n and_o jacob_n be_v dead_a and_o rot_a in_o the_o earth_n when_o these_o thing_n be_v speak_v

and_o we_o receive_v it_o with_o all_o reverence_n likewise_o at_o this_o day_n although_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v dead_a yet_o do_v god_n work_v still_o by_o they_o &_o the_o word_n

of_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n when_o as_o mention_n be_v make_v here_o of_o the_o promise_n that_o god_n swear_v to_o the_o ancient_a father_n that_o be_v

have_v a_o desire_n to_o follow_v it_o and_o to_o give_v ourselves_o over_o unto_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v draw_v unto_o he_o 6.44_o john_n 6.44_o and_o indeed_o moses_n say_v not_o the_o lord_n will_v circumcise_v thy_o heart_n to_o the_o end_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v able_a to_o love_v he_o but_o he_o say_v to_o the_o end_n that_o thou_o love_v

wherein_o the_o papist_n do_v abuse_v themselves_o too_o gross_o for_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n they_o understande_v that_o god_n in_o deed_n give_v we_o the_o power_n if_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o we_o but_o yet_o that_o all_o the_o same_o lie_v in_o our_o discretion_n and_o that_o god_n work_v in_o we_o be_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o both_o

of_o our_o salvation_n for_o can_v man_n in_o such_o frailty_n as_o we_o do_v feel_v and_o amidst_o so_o many_o combatte_n as_o satan_n do_v deliver_v we_o have_v one_o only_o firm_a and_o constant_a will_n it_o be_v impossible_a moses_n therefore_o say_v not_o that_o god_n will_v circumcise_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v have_v power_n to_o fear_v he_o but_o he_o put_v the_o

for_o all_o their_o whole_a seek_n be_v to_o rob_v god_n of_o all_o that_o ever_o the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v to_o be_v he_o and_o which_o he_o reserve_v to_o himself_o and_o to_o spoil_v he_o of_o his_o honour_n usurp_v it_o every_o man_n to_o himself_o let_v we_o therefore_o beware_v of_o this_o devilish_a arrogancy_n and_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o say_v without_o cause_n 2.13_o phil._n 2.13_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o woork_v in_o we_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n saint_n paul_n say_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o papist_n that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o the_o mean_a we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o will_n that_o which_o be_v good_a but_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v put_v the_o will_n in_o us._n and_o then_o he_o add_v

therefore_o whereas_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o god_n have_v respect_n whether_o we_o be_v able_a to_o use_v his_o grace_n well_o or_o no_o and_o that_o according_a as_o every_o man_n behave_v and_o

that_o we_o be_v block_n of_o wood_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o what_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v that_o be_v that_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o fear_n and_o wariness_n 1â—_n phil._n 2_o 1â—_n work_v our_o salvation_n what_o be_v it_o in_o we_o to_o do_v it_o no_o but_o he_o show_v that_o we_o be_v instrument_n of_o god_n and_o that_o when_o he_o give_v we_o the_o will_n and_o power_n to_o

for_o the_o fantastical_a fellow_n of_o our_o day_n which_o will_v take_v away_o the_o baptism_n of_o little_a child_n never_o understand_v the_o use_n of_o circumcision_n it_o seem_v unto_o they_o

neither_o do_v the_o father_n know_v god_n but_o worship_v a_o angel_n which_o be_v there_o in_o a_o visible_a shape_n in_o stead_n of_o god._n these_o be_v the_o horrible_a blasphemy_n which_o

that_o we_o be_v bless_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o whereas_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o accursednesse_n by_o the_o heritage_n of_o adam_n we_o be_v sanctify_v to_o be_v adopt_v

a_o similitude_n and_o a_o portraiture_n of_o death_n that_o we_o may_v
be_v change_v to_o serve_v our_o god._n the_o same_o be_v likewise_o in_o circumcision_n and_o moses_n do_v show_v in_o this_o place_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o vain_a figure_n it_o be_v not_o a_o

and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o baptism_n at_o this_o day_n succeed_v circumcision_n like_v as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n 2.12_o col._n 2.12_o after_o he_o have_v show_v that_o circumcision_n remain_v not_o at_o this_o day_n as_o touch_v the_o outward_a use_n he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v circumcise_a not_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n but_o in_o that_o we_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o baptism_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n whereby_o the_o old_a man_n be_v mortify_v that_o from_o henceforth_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v govern_v us._n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o although_o the_o father_n which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n be_v as_o little_a child_n under_o their_o tutor_n and_o overseer_n 4.2_o gal._n 3.23_o &_o 4.2_o yet_o be_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o we_o be_v and_o have_v the_o very_a same_o promise_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o sacrament_n which_o god_n deliver_v they_o tend_v to_o the_o self_n same_o end_n and_o so_o consequent_o be_v spiritual_a thus_o much_o concern_v one_o point_n now_o furthermore_o it_o be_v here_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o circumcision_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o malice_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o show_v also_o that_o god_n will_v do_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o regenerate_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o at_o this_o day_n

call_v we_o to_o y_z e_z hope_v of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n wherein_o we_o shall_v be_v renew_v so_o then_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o god_n humble_v we_o by_o death_n and_o that_o we_o must_v

to_o comfort_v we_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o all_o our_o heaviness_n at_o leastwise_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v our_o sorrow_n that_o it_o pass_v not_o the_o bound_n and_o so_o
