into_o the_o world_n to_o wit_n by_o incarnation_n this_o article_n contain_v two_o thing_n the_o conception_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o nativity_n of_o both_o which_o i_o will_v orderly_a speak_v after_o that_o i_o have_v brief_o declare_v unto_o you_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o lord_n his_o incarnation_n man_n be_v in_o a_o miserable_a take_n incarnation_n and_o all_o mankind_n shall_v utter_o have_v perish_v for_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v all_o draw_v from_o the_o first_o man_n adam_n for_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o that_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v into_o hell_n can_v not_o enter_v into_o heaven_n unless_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v descend_v unto_o we_o and_o become_v god_n with_o we_o immanuel_n have_v with_o himself_o draw_v we_o into_o heaven_n therefore_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o his_o incarnation_n be_v to_o be_v a_o mediator_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n and_o by_o intercession_n to_o join_v or_o bring_v into_o one_o they_o that_o be_v sever_v for_o where_o a_o mediator_n mediator_n be_v there_o also_o must_v needs_o be_v discord_n and_o party_n the_o party_n be_v god_n and_o man_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o discord_n be_v sin_n now_o the_o office_n of_o the_o mediator_n be_v to_o bring_v to_o agreement_n the_o party_n disagree_v which_o very_o can_v be_v do_v unless_o that_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o variance_n be_v take_v clean_o away_o but_o sin_n be_v neither_o cleanse_v nor_o take_v away_o except_o that_o blood_n be_v shed_v and_o death_n do_v follow_v this_o witness_v paul_n in_o his_o 9_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n the_o mediator_n ought_v therefore_o to_o take_v on_o he_o our_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o he_o may_v both_o die_v &_o shed_v his_o blood_n furthermore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o this_o advocate_n or_o mediator_n be_v indifferent_o common_a to_o both_o the_o party_n who_o he_o have_v to_o reconcile_v wherefore_o our_o lord_n christ_n ought_v to_o be_v very_a god_n and_o very_a man_n if_o he_o have_v be_v god_n alone_o then_o shall_v he_o have_v be_v terrible_a to_o man_n and_o have_v stand_v they_o in_o little_a steed_n if_o he_o have_v be_v mere_a man_n than_o can_v he_o not_o have_v have_v access_n to_o god_n which_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n wherefore_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n be_v a_o fit_a mediator_n for_o both_o the_o party_n which_o thing_n the_o apostle_n witness_v say_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n of_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o the_o price_n of_o

the_o remnant_n and_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v remain_v behind_o and_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v behind_o he_o a_o example_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v

i_o be_o nothing_o for_o upon_o this_o they_o infer_v therefore_o not_o faith_n only_o but_o also_o charity_n yea_o rather_o charity_n than_o faith_n do_v justify_v but_o we_o say_v that_o paul_n in_o this_o sentence_n do_v neither_o deny_v that_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v nor_o yet_o do_v attribute_v the_o justification_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o charity_n for_o when_o we_o affirm_v that_o

free_a gift_n of_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n do_v paul_n use_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n when_o he_o affirm_v that_o faith_n do_v justify_v but_o in_o this_o place_n of_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o do_v not_o so_o take_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n but_o put_v it_o for_o the_o power_n of_o work_a miracle_n as_o be_v manifest_a by_o that_o

in_o all_o thing_n to_o do_v service_n to_o god_o his_o maker_n therefore_o for_o the_o unseparable_a knot_n betwixt_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n which_o always_o keep_v company_n and_o attend_v upon_o faith_n we_o say_v that_o justification_n be_v sometime_o somewhat_o unproper_o attribute_v to_o work_n which_o be_v somewhat_o more_o proper_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o faith_n but_o most_o

that_o faith_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o justify_n and_o the_o obey_v faith_n of_o the_o justify_n faith_n saint_n paul_n make_v mention_v where_o he_o say_v be_v justify_v by_o say_v we_o have_v

say_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o begin_v and_o stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n because_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o when_o he_o speak_v a_o lie_n he_o speak_v 8._o of_o

create_v in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n do_v not_o stand_v fast_o in_o truth_n and_o goodness_n but_o degenerate_v from_o his_o nature_n wherein_o he_o be_v make_v good_a and_o fall_v into_o another_o nature_n corrupt_a and_o wicked_a and_o have_v out_o of_o himself_o disperse_v all_o evil_a as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o history_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n into_o the_o world_n to_o wit_v murder_n

beginning_n satan_n come_v and_o whether_o god_n make_v he_o or_o no_o our_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n in_o deed_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n and_o those_o also_o which_o afterward_o do_v become_v reprobate_n and_o wicked_a devil_n but_o we_o do_v not_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o evil_a do_v redound_v to_o god_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n make_v all_o the_o angel_n good_a for_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o make_v be_v good_a furthermore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n stand_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v that_o he_o revolt_v from_o the_o truth_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v revolt_v if_o he_o have_v never_o stand_v in_o it_o therefore_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n do_v place_v all_o his_o angel_n in_o the_o truth_n he_o require_v of_o they_o truth_n faith_n or_o fidelity_n and_o the_o duty_n that_o they_o ought_v he_o which_o they_o be_v able_a to_o have_v do_v if_o they_o themselves_o will_v but_o they_o do_v disloyal_o fall_v from_o their_o allegiance_n and_o sin_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n testify_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n of_o their_o falsehood_n and_o of_o all_o

the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o sinner_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o sin_n to_o this_o also_o may_v this_o note_n be_v add_v that_o of_o

we_o read_v that_o the_o saint_n do_v simple_o attribute_v the_o benefit_n of_o justification_n or_o satisfaction_n unto_o their_o affliction_n i_o confess_v that_o daniel_n the_o prophet_n give_v

with_o all_o man_n therefore_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o sin_n before_o god_n but_o before_o man_n for_o there_o be_v salvation_n in_o none_o other_o than_o in_o christ_n alone_o but_o if_o any_o man_n do_v stubborn_o stick_v upon_o the_o letter_n we_o say_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christian_n be_v faith_n by_o which_o their_o sin_n be_v proper_o cleanse_v

very_a body_n &_o blood_n to_o be_v eat_v &_o drunken_a under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n &_o wine_n therefore_o it_o must_v by_o all_o mean_n and_o without_o all_o contradiction_n be_v believe_v

and_o wine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v very_o real_o and_o essential_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o truth_n they_o say_v must_v simple_o he_o believe_v although_o reason_n itself_o the_o whole_a world_n all_o sense_n and_o nature_n itself_o be_v against_o it_o we_o answer_v the_o in_o deed_n all_o thing_n be_v very_o true_a which_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v who_o be_v truth_n

must_v search_v out_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o lord_n word_n in_o the_o supper_n this_o be_v my_o body_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n etc_n etc_n these_o man_n cry_v out_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n

we_o shall_v overthrow_v the_o whole_a scripture_n &_o the_o true_a faith_n or_o we_o shall_v seem_v to_o go_v about_o to_o reprove_v the_o scripture_n of_o lie_n or_o contradiction_n i_o will_v bring_v forth_o one_o of_o two_o example_n of_o this_o sort_n the_o evangelist_n s_o john_n write_v the_o word_n become_v flesh_n now_o if_o we_o will_v cleave_v to_o the_o very_a word_n then_o must_v we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v change_v into_o man_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o sense_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o scripture_n for_o god_n be_v immutable_a and_o christ_n be_v

that_o the_o word_n take_v flesh_n and_o that_o god_n be_v make_v man_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v not_o against_o scripture_n for_o paul_n say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n never_o take_v upon_o

by_o christ_n blood_n we_o be_v wash_v from_o sin_n &_o our_o soul_n be_v as_o it_o be_v with_o drink_n spiritual_o drunken_a therefore_o the_o lord_n speak_v nothing_o here_o of_o the_o bread_n of_o
