of_o faith_n so_o the_o best_a canonist_n and_o casuist_n define_v a_o promise_n though_o we_o for_o thy_o better_a understanding_n define_v it_o otherwise_o and_o the_o perform_v of_o a_o promise_n

the_o effect_n of_o both_o god_n testament_n of_o the_o old_a and_o the_o new_a of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n to_o justify_v in_o their_o kind_n but_o these_o two_o testament_n be_v apparent_o

it_o can_v be_v true_o say_v of_o the_o new_a that_o it_o be_v a_o better_a testament_n because_o of_o two_o thing_n that_o have_v no_o difference_n neither_o can_v be_v better_o than_o the_o other_o this_o difference_n then_o between_o these_o two_o testament_n breed_v such_o a_o repugnancy_n between_o they_o that_o they_o can_v both_o subsist_v for_o when_o one_o and_o the_o same_o testator_n

come_v by_o the_o law_n then_o there_o have_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o make_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o therefore_o no_o cause_n why_o christ_n shall_v die_v to_o testify_v confirm_v and_o execute_v it_o for_o if_o a_o man_n first_o testament_n be_v faultless_a there_o can_v be_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v make_v a_o second_o because_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o make_v a_o second_o be_v to_o

be_v the_o effect_n of_o either_o must_v be_v also_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o other_o then_o the_o first_o testament_n and_o the_o last_o must_v equal_o justify_v unto_o the_o same_o blessedness_n then_o the_o right_n thereto_o must_v come_v by_o the_o law_n and_o consequent_o christ_n die_v without_o cause_n for_o what_o cause_n can_v there_o be_v why_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o the_o last_o testament_n if_o the_o first_o stand_v still_o in_o force_n and_o can_v effect_v as_o much_o as_o the_o last_o but_o if_o no_o discreet_a man_n will_v make_v two_o testament_n that_o shall_v be_v

be_o to_o suffer_v for_o although_o christ_n suffer_v a_o death_n in_o a_o manner_n somewhat_o like_a to_o that_o death_n which_o i_o deserve_v to_o suffer_v and_o suffer_v it_o for_o that_o end_n to_o free_v i_o from_o that_o death_n which_o i_o deserve_v to_o suffer_v and_o from_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v free_v unless_o he_o have_v suffer_v death_n yet_o first_o he_o suffer_v not_o that_o very_a death_n which_o i_o deserve_v to_o suffer_v for_o the_o death_n which_o i_o deserve_v to_o suffer_v be_v eternal_a death_n which_o kind_n of_o death_n christ_n suffer_v not_o for_o his_o death_n last_v but_o three_o day_n neither_o can_v he_o suffer_v it_o because_o god_n have_v decree_v and_o promise_v the_o contrary_n and_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v it_o than_o can_v i_o

your_o faith_n be_v vain_a you_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o sin_n then_o they_o also_o which_o be_v fall_v asleep_a in_o christ_n be_v perish_v and_o second_o the_o death_n which_o christ_n suffer_v be_v not_o in_o stead_n or_o lieu_n of_o i_o for_o the_o temporal_a death_n which_o christ_n suffer_v do_v not_o free_v i_o from_o temporal_a death_n because_o i_o shall_v suffer_v that_o kind_n of_o
