they_o so_o like_o wise_a when_o they_o be_v in_o prosperity_n they_o take_v it_o for_o a_o token_n of_o god_n favour_n whereas_o yet_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v of_o no_o great_a weight_n and_o

the_o damn_a so_o that_o these_o two_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v join_v together_o that_o be_v faith_n &_o obedience_n towards_o god._n faith_n be_v require_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n

and_o that_o we_o provoke_v not_o god_n to_o wrath_n by_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n which_o they_o can_v not_o have_v that_o continewe_v still_o in_o open_a sin_n

then_o shall_v thou_o be_v out_o of_o all_o peril_n for_o such_o faith_n only_o be_v able_a to_o prevail_v against_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n himself_o have_v command_v

the_o phariseis_n in_o in_o comparison_n of_o themselves_o who_o they_o think_v just_a exclude_v sinner_n they_o do_v see_v that_o they_o be_v directe_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o their_o

more_o grevous_a if_o they_o fall_v in_o a_o man_n that_o have_v wisdom_n and_o strength_n to_o resist_v they_o if_o then_o the_o phariseis_n judgement_n be_v true_a that_o god_n do_v turn_v away_o

also_o their_o own_o &_o all_o other_o then_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n have_v place_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o phariseis_n be_v procee_v so_o far_o by_o

doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n and_o phariseis_n which_o take_v not_o here_o seed_n and_o root_n in_o our_o nature_n but_o be_v bring_v from_o heaven_n by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o say_v ihon._n no_o

wherefore_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o wroth_a of_o god_n be_v natural_o join_v with_o sin_n but_o christ_n teach_v we_o here_o by_o his_o gospel_n xv_o that_o god_n be_v otherwise_o mind_v toward_o
