The life to come which is in heauē Q. For which of these thrée doe wée praye in this petition A. Not for the first because that is alwaies ouer all the worlde and euer was and euer shall bee though all should conspire against him Q. But all things are not gouerned by the power of GOD some thinges come by chaunce and fortune doe they not A. Not so for in those thinges that are most casuall as we say God hath the greatest stroke as in the casting of lots the comming of Saule to ease himselfe in the caue where Dauid hid himselfe And the same may we say of those that are borne blinde and deafe and du●● c. the loosing of a hayre from our head the lighting of a sparrowe vpon the grounde and a thousand such like Q.

No for when Adam transgressed Gods image was defaced and his happines forfeited according to the doctrine of the Apostle By one man came sinne and by sin death entred ouer all vnto condemnation Q. How is it now then with man A. Now it is otherwise for Sinne is entred Sathan ruleth Death followeth Our familiaritie with GOD turned into mortall hatred Our wisedome into folly and our happines into euerlasting cursednesse Rom. 8. 7. Q. And doe we thus continue A. No for God in a cōtrary course of loue 1. Takes away our corruption by little and little 2. Begettes vs anew to a better life 3. By Christ restoreth his image againe 4. Lighteneth our mindes to knowe him aright 5. Strengtheneth our willes to embrace his worde 6. Purgeth our harts to loue the Lord. 7. Maketh all our members in measure to become weapons of righteousnes And so Sinne dieth Grace liueth Wee loue him and are loued of him And this is now the kingdome of grace Q.

Where may we read of the kingdome of Sathan A. In Rom. 6. 12. Ioh. 12. 31. 2. Cor. 4. 4. Ephes. 6. 12. Luk. 11. 21. Q.
