and_o all_o our_o enemy_n now_o than_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o may_v be_v cast_v down_o and_o our_o faith_n at_o least_o wise_a sore_o shake_v if_o we_o shall_v look_v no_o further_o than_o too_o ourselves_o therefore_o he_o set_v jesus_n christ_n before_o we_o as_o the_o true_a pattern_n wherein_o we_o may_v see_v the_o thing_n that_o as_o yet_o be_v unseen_a in_o ourselves_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n god_n inestimable_a power_n which_o surmount_v the_o whole_a world_n for_o first_o he_o be_v raze_v from_o death_n and_o second_o he_o be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n now_o the_o speak_n of_o god_n right_a hand_n be_v a_o resemblance_n take_v of_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v neither_o right_a hand_n nor_o

that_o he_o fill_v all_o thing_n with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o dwell_v in_o we_o himself_o and_o that_o we_o be_v nourish_v by_o his_o own_o substance_n 55._o according_a to_o this_o say_n that_o

whereas_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n damn_v he_o have_v vouchsafe_v too_o have_v we_o too_o be_v his_o child_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o overween_a as_o too_o think_v that_o we_o

a_o matter_n of_o heaviness_n too_o they_o because_o they_o conceive_v nothing_o but_o rigour_n in_o he_o but_o when_o his_o grace_n and_o fatherly_a goodness_n be_v utter_v unto_o we_o as_o he_o have_v show_v it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o come_v we_o bold_o unto_o he_o and_o we_o be_v no_o more_o afraid_a of_o his_o seat_n but_o have_v familiar_a access_n to_o it_o and_o

here_o and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o this_o say_n the_o love_n of_o god_n import_v and_o he_o say_v purposely_o in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o without_o he_o we_o can_v not_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n for_o let_v jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v let_v alone_o and_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n and_o that_o we_o do_v apply_v all_o our_o wit_n thereabout_o and_o therewithal_o that_o we_o bethink_v we_o of_o ourselves_o also_o what_o be_v all_o this_o we_o shall_v find_v such_o a_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n in_o god_n as_o shall_v swallow_v we_o up_o like_o a_o deep_a gulf_n again_o his_o justice_n be_v so_o perfect_a as_o it_o will_v be_v much_o less_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o stand_v before_o it_o than_o for_o snow_n to_o abide_v against_o the_o sun_n now_o when_o we_o come_v too_o ourselves_o we_o must_v needs_o see_v a_o sea_n of_o all_o misery_n before_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o sense_n be_v blind_a that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o virtue_n that_o we_o be_v give_v too_o all_o evil_a that_o we_o be_v hold_v down_o under_o the_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o nothing_o in_o we_o no_o not_o even_o of_o the_o excellent_a thing_n that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v which_o be_v not_o loathsome_a before_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o once_o know_v these_o two_o

afterward_o go_v seek_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o can_v be_v and_o let_v we_o call_v the_o angel_n too_o help_v and_o they_o will_v come_v never_o the_o near_o we_o for_o all_o that_o let_v we_o

no_o but_o contrariwise_o he_o must_v needs_o abhor_v we_o so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v here_o express_o of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o do_v just_o hate_v we_o so_o long_o as_o he_o behold_v we_o in_o our_o own_o natural_a state_n add_v immediate_o that_o the_o same_o love_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o

our_o triumph_n of_o it_o and_o so_o we_o see_v brief_o how_o god_n have_v love_v we_o in_o jesus_n christ._n again_o when_o we_o know_v this_o we_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o we_o must_v not_o

what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v show_v we_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n a_o long_a time_n and_o yet_o we_o continue_v still_o like_o those_o that_o never_o taste_v of_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o without_o cause_n set_v down_o here_o the_o top_n of_o all_o

there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o uprightness_n in_o we_o that_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n be_v rebellious_a against_o

here_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n in_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o in_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v

must_v be_v cut_v of_o before_o god_n do_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o which_o also_o be_v the_o very_a order_n that_o

his_o holy_a spirit_n according_a too_o this_o say_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o grace_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o of_o we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o he_o and_o

that_o which_o we_o want_v according_a too_o the_o measure_n that_o it_o please_v he_o too_o deal_v unto_o we_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o second_o too_o the_o corinthian_n say_v 9_o that_o he_o become_v poor_a too_o the_o intent_n too_o fill_v we_o with_o his_o riches_n then_o if_o we_o desire_v too_o be_v receive_v too_o

you_o be_v not_o quite_o strip_v out_o of_o he_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o a_o double_a garment_n about_o you_o before_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o labour_v the_o earnestly_o as_o now_o too_o lie_v away_o the_o residue_n that_o remain_v of_o it_o still_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o tell_v they_o also_o that_o it_o must_v not_o grieve_v they_o too_o be_v exhort_v

for_o too_o know_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o do_v this_o or_o that_o be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o we_o must_v also_o show_v that_o our_o life_n be_v well_o acquaint_v

then_o may_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v well_o learned_a but_o if_o our_o former_a life_n bewray_v we_o too_o have_v be_v as_o stray_v sheep_n or_o rather_o as_o utter_o peak_a away_o after_o

and_o harken_v willing_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v too_o be_v profitable_a yea_o and_o needful_a for_o we_o and_o so_o saint_n paul_n speak_v not_o alone_a for_o the_o ephesian_n but_o

as_o our_o life_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o may_v answer_v for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v learn_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o old_a man_n say_v that_o he_o be_v

for_o he_o and_o saint_n paul_n take_v a_o resemblance_n hereof_o in_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o too_o put_v away_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o old_a man_n be_v too_o forsake_v our_o own_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v altogether_o curse_a and_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o from_o our_o moother_n womb_n that_o be_v good_a and_o clean_a therefore_o if_o we_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o imagination_n and_o follow_v our_o own_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o give_v the_o bridle_n too_o our_o affection_n

righteousness_n he_o mean_v soundness_n and_o uprightness_n so_o as_o we_o live_v with_o our_o neighbour_n without_o deceit_n &_o without_o malice_n or_o harm_n do_v yield_v too_o every_o man_n that_o which_o be_v he_o now_o when_o such_o a_o soundness_n reign_v in_o we_o they_o shall_v we_o show_v by_o our_o deed_n that_o we_o be_v fashion_v again_o after_o god_n image_n in_o righteousness_n but_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o man_n have_v their_o right_a except_o god_n also_o have_v he_o for_o too_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o we_o too_o be_v no_o thief_n towards_o man_n and_o yet_o to_o be_v traitorous_a towards_o god_n or_o to_o abstain_v from_o steal_v away_o our_o neighbour_n good_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n to_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n therefore_o must_v righteousness_n be_v match_v with_o holiness_n for_o the_o two_o table_n of_o the_o law_n be_v inseparable_a and_o under_o the_o word_n holiness_n s._n paul_n comprehend_v all_o thing_n that_o

too_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o all_o the_o defylemente_n of_o the_o world_n and_o too_o offer_v ourselves_o in_o sacrifyzce_n unto_o god_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n too_o walk_v sound_o

that_o god_n law_n have_v not_o teach_v we_o by_o half_n what_o we_o have_v too_o do_v but_o god_n have_v there_o show_v we_o a_o right_a rule_n whereunto_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o add_v nor_o

that_o we_o serve_v one_o another_o without_o do_v any_o harm_n again_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n be_v incline_v piteous_o too_o feign_v and_o do_v ever_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o set_v some_o fair_a

nor_o have_v any_o bombast_n in_o we_o but_o that_o we_o go_v on_o in_o right_a meaning_n simplicity_n before_o he_o so_o then_o although_o our_o hand_n be_v clear_a from_o theft_n extortion_n &_o

yea_o and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o except_o he_o have_v be_v of_o our_o nature_n for_o he_o can_v not_o have_v amend_v our_o misdo_n wherethrough_o we_o be_v bind_v too_o endless_a damnation_n unless_o he_o have_v clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o body_n and_o have_v also_o a_o soul_n too_o the_o end_n too_o present_v himself_o in_o the_o person_n of_o all_o man_n and_o so_o it_o behove_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o be_v our_o flesh_n in_o our_o body_n we_o may_v say_v that_o he_o be_v of_o our_o bone_n and_o of_o our_o flesh_n and_o why_o he_o be_v descend_v of_o adam_n race_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v he_o be_v conceive_v marvellous_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n howbeit_o there_o be_v another_o

be_v set_v again_o and_o the_o deadly_a fall_n wherethrough_o we_o be_v all_o forlorn_a he_o say_v that_o the_o first_o adam_n do_v by_o his_o transgression_n make_v we_o enemy_n too_o god_n so_o as_o we_o have_v no_o access_n to_o he_o but_o shall_v be_v thrust_v back_o if_o we_o preace_z to_o he_o and_o that_o just_o for_o where_o sin_n reign_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v as_o it_o be_v unrecoucylable_a division_n god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o righteousness_n can_v match_v with_o our_o iniquity_n and_o corruption_n then_o be_v there_o also_o a_o second_o adam_n which_o

shall_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o too_o think_v too_o press_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o though_o we_o be_v link_v too_o he_o of_o our_o own_o nature_n but_o that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n &_o not_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n behold_v then_o jesus_n christ_n be_v become_v very_a man_n and_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o selfsame_o humane_a nature_n that_o we_o be_v but_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o of_o nature_n that_o we_o be_v his_o flesh_n and_o his_o bone_n for_o we_o be_v not_o descend_v of_o he_o as_o touch_v our_o own_o substance_n but_o it_o be_v of_o his_o divine_a power_n then_o must_v we_o come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o we_o be_v bone_n of_o the_o bone_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o we_o be_v restore_v in_o he_o and_o have_v in_o he_o as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a and_o second_o creation_n and_o saint_n paul_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o original_n of_o eve_n for_o she_o be_v take_v out_o of_o adam_n substance_n and_o shape_v of_o one_o of_o his_o rib_n now_o then_o be_v we_o restore_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o consider_v our_o first_o birth_n whereby_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o this_o world_n too_o be_v mortal_a man_n we_o can_v say_v such_o be_v our_o flesh_n unless_o we_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o they_o that_o be_v afore_o we_o but_o whatsoever_o we_o be_v in_o that_o
begin_v this_o morning_n too_o expound_v the_o text_n of_o the_o psalm_n allege_v here_o by_o s._n paul_n 19_o show_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v there_o agree_v too_o the_o person_n of_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n for_o although_o he_o say_v oftentimes_o by_o way_n of_o similitude_n that_o god_n go_v up_o when_o he_o show_v himself_o judge_v of_o the_o world_n and_o defender_n of_o his_o church_n yet_o notwithstanding_o inasmuch_o as_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v down_o he_o be_v abse_z as_o one_o that_o be_v beneath_o all_o man_n and_o afterward_o be_v exalt_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n his_o father_n therein_o we_o see_v most_o full_o how_o god_n vouchsafe_v too_o be_v abse_z for_o a_o time_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n and_o too_o be_v in_o a_o state_n despise_v before_o man_n and_o afterward_o will_v be_v crown_v again_o with_o glory_n and_o honour_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o he_o in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o hebrew_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v here_o 7._o that_o it_o behove_v he_o first_o too_o descend_v too_o be_v so_o exalt_v 6._o but_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a we_o must_v mark_v that_o here_o s._n paul_n have_v change_v the_o word_n for_o whereas_o david_n say_v that_o god_n receyve_v gift_n and_o present_n that_o be_v too_o say_v tribute_n and_o homage_n of_o those_o who_o he_o have_v subdue_v too_o his_o majesty_n s._n paul_n in_o stead_n thereof_o say_v that_o he_o give_v and_o so_o this_o be_v not_o rehearse_v as_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o psalm_n but_o the_o apostle_n mean_v too_o show_v that_o the_o triumph_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v when_o he_o rise_v from_o death_n surmount_v all_o david_n victory_n and_o all_o that_o ever_o have_v be_v do_v in_o shadow_n and_o figure_n under_o the_o law_n for_o it_o be_v much_o more_o too_o give_v than_o too_o take_v also_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 2._o that_o god_n receive_v that_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o nor_o too_o his_o own_o use_n for_o we_o know_v he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o his_o receive_n be_v too_o enrich_v his_o church_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v say_v 28._o that_o the_o woman_n which_o never_o step_v out_o of_o their_o door_n shall_v have_v their_o part_n of_o the_o pray_v or_o booty_n 13._o there_o therefore_o david_n show_v that_o god_n be_v not_o glorify_v for_o any_o profit_n or_o advantage_n that_o he_o pretend_v on_o his_o own_o behalf_n according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v content_v with_o his_o own_o perfection_n for_o he_o can_v neither_o increase_v nor_o diminish_v but_o all_o redound_v too_o the_o welfare_n of_o his_o church_n for_o god_n show_v of_o himself_o too_o be_v rich_fw-fr be_v not_o by_o keep_v of_o his_o treasure_n under_o double_a lock_n as_o man_n say_v but_o by_o set_v they_o forth_o for_o all_o comer_n at_o leastwise_o if_o we_o seek_v they_o with_o true_a faith_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o his_o riches_n diminish_v not_o nor_o yet_o his_o liberality_n which_o he_o use_v towards_o we_o thereby_o we_o know_v that_o he_o pass_v all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n then_o if_o we_o will_v define_v in_o one_o word_n how_o god_n be_v rich_fw-fr it_o be_v in_o be_v liberal_a unto_o we_o use_v bountifulness_n and_o by_o allure_a we_o too_o he_o too_o succour_v we_o in_o all_o our_o need_n and_o want_n according_a too_o this_o say_n of_o he_o by_o his_o prophet_n 1._o come_v all_o you_o that_o be_v thirsty_a and_o drink_v your_o fill_n you_o shall_v have_v your_o fill_n not_o only_o of_o water_n but_o also_o of_o wine_n and_o milk_n too_o be_v short_a he_o show_v that_o they_o can_v want_v nothing_o which_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o all_o shall_v have_v their_o part_n of_o the_o spoil_n 10._o not_o only_o the_o man_n of_o war_n for_o they_o may_v hap_v too_o boast_v that_o they_o have_v get_v the_o whole_a pray_v by_o their_o own_o manhood_n and_o policy_n but_o that_o the_o woman_n which_o never_o stir_v out_o of_o the_o house_n 13._o and_o which_o do_v nothing_o but_o spin_v upon_o their_o distave_n shall_v have_v part_n of_o the_o booty_n as_o though_o they_o have_v get_v the_o victory_n hereby_o i_o say_v he_o show_v that_o god_n receive_v of_o tribute_n and_o tax_n of_o such_o as_o he_o have_v subdue_v too_o his_o dominion_n be_v not_o too_o increase_v himself_o withal_o but_o too_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o belong_v too_o our_o salvation_n and_o herewithal_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o when_o god_n give_v we_o his_o gift_n it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o may_v father_n any_o thing_n upon_o our_o own_o virtue_n or_o prowess_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v think_v ourselves_o beholden_a too_o his_o mere_a free_a goodness_n for_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o must_v all_o thing_n be_v refer_v too_o his_o glory_n for_o the_o more_o that_o he_o bestow_v upon_o we_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o too_o be_v forward_o and_o ready_a too_o confess_v how_o much_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o he_o but_o the_o chief_a point_n be_v that_o we_o endeavour_n too_o make_v the_o gift_n that_o we_o have_v receive_v available_a too_o the_o common_a edify_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o god_n may_v still_o be_v more_o and_o more_o exalt_v and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n increase_v and_o augment_v among_o man_n and_o so_o the_o condition_n say_v i_o whereupon_o our_o lord_n distribute_v too_o every_o of_o we_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v too_o he_o and_o be_v his_o own_o and_o which_o he_o can_v keep_v still_o too_o himself_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v do_v he_o homage_n for_o they_o both_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n add_v he_o say_v that_o it_o behove_v jesus_n christ_n to_o descend_v according_a also_o as_o he_o descend_v into_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o thereupon_o he_o be_v exalt_v many_o have_v make_v over_o violent_a gloze_n upon_o this_o place_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n go_v down_o not_o only_o into_o the_o grave_n but_o also_o even_o into_o limbo_n 8._o a_o place_n forge_v of_o their_o own_o brain_n but_o saint_n paul_n speak_v simple_o namely_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o second_o too_o the_o philippian_n that_o because_o jesus_n christ_n be_v abse_z therefore_o god_n his_o father_n exalt_v he_o too_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o give_v he_o a_o soverein_o dominion_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o knee_n shall_v thensfoorthe_o bow_v before_o he_o therefore_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v abse_z he_o mean_v it_o of_o his_o clothing_n of_o himself_o with_o our_o nature_n wherein_o he_o become_v despise_v without_o any_o dignity_n and_o without_o any_o reputation_n too_o the_o worldward_n 7._o according_a whereunto_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o he_o be_v count_v as_o a_o worm_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o not_o as_o a_o man_n insomuch_o that_o man_n take_v scorn_v too_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o say_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o that_o man_n can_v like_o of_o 2._o you_o see_v then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v so_o submit_v himself_o to_o all_o reproach_n that_o he_o be_v disfigure_v 65._o and_o man_n do_v spit_v at_o he_o and_o mock_v he_o and_o do_v he_o all_o the_o wrong_n that_o they_o can_v and_o afterward_o he_o be_v exalt_v and_o no_o dubt_n but_o saint_n paul_n have_v touch_v the_o thing_n here_o which_o he_o discourse_v more_o at_o the_o length_n in_o the_o foreallege_a place_n 8._o which_o be_v that_o the_o example_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n ought_v too_o teach_v we_o lowliness_n and_o too_o make_v we_o walk_v plain_o without_o take_v any_o thing_n upon_o we_o above_o other_o man_n for_o who_o be_v we_o what_o be_v our_o state_n when_o every_o of_o we_o have_v sift_v himself_o thorough_o what_o shall_v he_o find_v in_o he_o too_o boast_v of_o we_o have_v many_o thing_n too_o thank_v god_n for_o but_o too_o take_v upon_o we_o that_o which_o be_v he_o be_v a_o villainous_a treachery_n so_o be_v there_o nothing_o for_o we_o
