profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n require_v for_o thereof_o it_o come_v that_o many_o do_v faint_a in_o the_o most_o light_a temptation_n because_o they_o promise_v unto_o themselves_o nothing_o but_o mere_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n as_o though_o they_o shall_v be_v always_o in_o case_n and_o rest_n for_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o meet_a servant_n for_o chryst_n which_o have_v not_o a_o long_a time_n before_o prepare_v himself_o for_o the_o war_n so_o that_o the_o simylitude_n which_o chryste_n bring_v here_o serve_v very_o well_o for_o the_o purpose_n it_o be_v a_o paynetull_n and_o tedious_a thing_n to_o build_v and_o require_v great_a cost_n and_o charge_n also_o no_o man_n without_o he_o be_v constrain_v will_v take_v war_n in_o hand_n because_o it_o bring_v so_o many_o incommodity_n with_o it_o yea_o it_o threaten_v almost_o destruction_n to_o all_o man_n kind_a and_o yet_o notwythstandinge_v the_o profit_n of_o inhabit_v allure_v man_n to_o spend_v their_o substance_n about_o the_o same_o necessity_n also_o constrain_v that_o man_n refuse_v no_o expense_n in_o mayntayninge_v war_n but_o there_o remain_v a_o far_o more_o excellent_a reward_n for_o the_o builder_n of_o the_o lord_n temple_n &_o for_o the_o soldier_n of_o christ_n for_o christian_o labour_v not_o for_o a_o transitory_a buildinge_n or_o for_o a_o momentany_a triumph_n but_o where_o as_o christ_n say_v that_o if_o a_o king_n be_v not_o able_a to_o encounter_n with_o his_o enemy_n seek_v peace_n jest_n he_o be_v overcome_v to_o his_o ignominy_n &_o shame_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o present_a cause_n as_o though_o we_o shall_v have_v any_o reconciliation_n with_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n if_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o match_v he_o for_o it_o be_v fond_a to_o strain_v all_o thing_n in_o parable_n to_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v in_o hand_n but_o the_o lord_n mean_v simple_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o appoint_v lest_o we_o be_v find_v unarm_v turn_v our_o back_n in_o the_o conflict_n and_o as_o by_o this_o doctrine_n their_o rashness_n be_v reprove_v which_o pass_v their_o bound_n without_o wit_n or_o discretion_n or_o which_o promise_n unto_o themselves_o pleasure_n not_o consider_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o cross_n so_o also_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n lest_o this_o meditation_n to_o the_o which_o christ_n exhort_v do_v terrify_v or_o discourage_v us._n many_o because_o they_o be_v not_o by_o &_o by_o deliver_v out_o of_o prison_n abandon_v all_o patience_n and_o forsake_v their_o course_n for_o they_o can_v abide_v to_o be_v christian_n unless_o they_o may_v be_v free_a from_o the_o cross_n othersome_a have_v a_o straight_a and_o unsaverye_n condition_n of_o life_n set_v before_o they_o dare_v not_o come_v unto_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o our_o need_n or_o poverty_n shall_v dyscourage_v we_o who_o the_o lord_n help_v in_o due_a time_n we_o confess_v that_o if_o we_o weigh_v the_o cost_n and_o charge_n we_o be_v so_o poor_a and_o unprovided_a that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o lay_v one_o stone_n toward_o the_o foundation_n nor_o yet_o to_o lift_v up_o the_o sword_n against_o the_o enemy_n but_o see_v the_o lord_n trom_n heaven_n do_v bear_v our_o cost_n and_o do_v arm_n and_o fortify_v we_o against_o the_o enemy_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o excuse_n to_o cloak_n our_o sloth_n and_o negligence_n withal_o therefore_o the_o purpose_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o put_v his_o disciple_n in_o mind_n concern_v the_o bear_n of_o the_o cross_n the_o they_o may_v arm_v themselves_o with_o fortitude_n they_o be_v deceive_v which_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n forbid_v we_o here_o to_o enterprise_v more_o than_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discharge_v we_o be_v to_o slow_a in_o take_v in_o hand_n any_o good_a act_n 33._o so_o likewise_o whosoever_o he_o be_v of_o you_o that_o all_o that_o he_o have_v he_o can_v be_v my_o dysciple_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n shall_v he_o be_v laugh_v to_o scorn_v which_o forsake_v i_o after_o he_o have_v follow_v i_o because_o he_o do_v weigh_v and_o consider_v with_o himself_o as_o make_v his_o account_n before_o he_o

but_o also_o of_o his_o life_n c._n therefore_o in_o these_o word_n christ_n declare_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o castinge_v of_o a_o account_n with_o the_o which_o he_o command_v his_o dysciple_n to_o begin_v namely_o that_o they_o must_v have_v ever_o in_o their_o mind_n to_o forsake_v all_o that_o they_o have_v for_o they_o do_v in_o vain_a intrude_v themselves_o to_o profess_v christianisme_n who_o be_v delight_v with_o a_o life_n that_o be_v sweet_a pleasant_a and_o unexercised_a with_o the_o cross_n 3.12_o act._n 14.22_o 2._o ti._n 3.12_o a._n for_o we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o
