in_o he_o puryfi_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a 1_o the_o second_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o dignity_n and_o excellency_n of_o our_o call_n our_o heavenlye_a father_n say_v he_o have_v

the_o mean_a time_n we_o be_v teach_v that_o as_o i_o say_v the_o adoption_n of_o all_o the_o godly_a be_v free_a and_o depend_v not_o upon_o any_o respect_n of_o work_n for_o that_o which_o the_o

and_o that_o the_o apostle_n witness_v that_o the_o same_o do_v issue_n from_o the_o mere_a and_o alone_a love_n of_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o remain_v to_o our_o own_o worthiness_n or_o the_o desert_n of_o work_n for_o why_o be_v we_o son_n very_o because_o god_n have_v begin_v to_o love_v we_o free_o when_o we_o be_v more_o worthy_a of_o hatred_n then_o of_o love_n and_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o pledge_n of_o our_o adoption_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o good_a thing_n in_o we_o it_o must_v not_o be_v so_o set_v against_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o rather_o it_o must_v be_v ascribe_v unto_o it_o as_o receive_v from_o it_o the_o name_n whereof_o he_o speak_v can_v be_v a_o vain_a title_n for_o it_o be_v god_n who_o pronounce_v we_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o be_v his_o son_n as_o he_o give_v a_o name_n to_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o thing_n itself_o therefore_o the_o world_n this_o temptation_n do_v vehement_o assail_v our_o faith_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o so_o be_v account_v for_o the_o child_n of_o god_n or_o have_v any_o note_n of_o such_o excellency_n see_v in_o we_o that_o rather_o the_o whole_a world_n almost_o do_v hold_v we_o for_o a_o mock_a stock_n therefore_o by_o the_o present_a condition_n it_o can_v hardly_o be_v gather_v that_o god_n be_v our_o father_n for_o the_o devil_n invent_v all_o way_n to_o darken_v his_o blessing_n he_o give_v a_o remedy_n to_o this_o offence_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o man_n we_o be_v because_o the_o world_n know_v not_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o it_o contemn_v his_o child_n of_o which_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o notable_a pattern_n in_o isaac_n &_o jacob_n for_o when_o each_o of_o they_o be_v elect_v of_o god_n the_o one_o ishmael_n scoff_v and_o jest_v at_o gen._n 21.9_o &_o 27.41_o the_o other_o esau_n persecute_v which_o threaten_n &_o with_o sword_n therefore_o

the_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o infinite_a evil_n so_o that_o we_o always_o find_v hell_n in_o ourselves_o how_o much_o more_o need_n be_v their_o that_o all_o our_o sense_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o

the_o apostle_n counsel_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v foolishlye_a if_o we_o measure_v what_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o we_o by_o our_o present_a condition_n but_o that_o we_o must_v hold_v fast_o by_o a_o assure_a faith_n that_o which_o yet_o appear_v not_o and_o we_o know_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a this_o condition_n must_v be_v change_v into_o a_o adverb_n of_o time_n where_o or_o when_o further_o this_o word_n shall_v appear_v be_v take_v otherwise_o then_o before_o the_o apostle_n say_v a_o little_a before_o that_o it_o appear_v not_o yet_o what_o we_o shall_v be_v since_o the_o fruit_n of_o our_o adoption_n be_v hide_v because_o our_o felicity_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o be_v stranger_n far_o from_o thence_o in_o the_o earth_n &_o because_o this_o frail_a life_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o hundred_o death_n be_v far_o unlike_a to_o that_o eternal_a glory_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n because_o be_v shut_v up_o after_o a_o slavishe_a manner_n in_o the_o prison_n of_o flesh_n we_o be_v far_o distant_a from_o the_o free_a dominion_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n but_o now_o he_o refer_v this_o note_n to_o christ_n when_o he_o shall_v appear_v for_o he_o teach_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o paul_n do_v unto_o the_o collos_n chapter_n 3._o verse_n 3._o where_o he_o say_v your_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n but_o when_o christ_n which_o be_v your_o life_n shall_v appear_v then_o shall_v you_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n and_o indeed_o our_o faith_n can_v no_o other_o way_n remain_v steady_a then_o while_o it_o look_v unto_o the_o come_v of_o christ_n for_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n do_v defer_v the_o manifestation_n of_o our_o glory_n because_o christ_n be_v not_o yet_o make_v

soon_o as_o any_o one_o do_v turn_v aside_o but_o a_o little_a from_o christ_n it_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o he_o shall_v faint_v by_o the_o word_n knowe_n he_o note_v out_o the_o certainty_n of_o

that_o he_o may_v know_v of_o a_o truth_n that_o he_o shall_v once_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o christ_n therefore_o howsoever_o the_o give_v forth_o of_o our_o glory_n be_v defer_v to_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n yet_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o be_v most_o excellent_o assure_v like_a he_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v equal_a but_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o difference_n

for_o the_o apostle_n go_v about_o to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v the_o last_o end_n of_o our_o adoption_n that_o that_o which_o by_o order_n go_v before_o in_o christ_n be_v at_o the_o last_o

and_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o our_o sight_n unless_o the_o spirit_n do_v open_a unto_o we_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n now_o the_o reader_n do_v understand_v why_o john_n have_v bring_v the_o spirit_n

1._o verse_n 22._o where_o peter_n use_v almost_o the_o same_o speech_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v purge_v our_o soul_n by_o the_o sprinkeling_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o by_o these_o word_n we_o may_v gather_v that_o faith_n do_v not_o take_v hold_n of_o christ_n bare_a or_o naked_a but_o with_o all_o his_o quicken_a power_n for_o what_o profit_n be_v it_o that_o christ_n be_v send_v into_o the_o earth_n unless_o he_o have_v pacify_v god_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n unless_o the_o office_n of_o cleanse_v have_v be_v enjoin_v he_o of_o his_o father_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o distinction_n be_v superfluous_a which_o be_v here_o set_v down_o because_o christ_n by_o put_v away_o sin_n have_v make_v we_o clean_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n name_v one_o thing_n twice_o i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o in_o the_o put_n away_o of_o sin_n there_o be_v also_o include_v a_o wash_n therefore_o i_o have_v not_o set_v a_o difference_n of_o water_n and_o blood_n as_o though_o they_o be_v diverse_a thing_n but_o if_o every_o one_o of_o we_o do_v weigh_v his_o own_o weakness_n he_o shall_v easelye_o acknowledge_v that_o blood_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a or_o without_o cause_n discern_v from_o water_n further_o as_o it_o have_v be_v already_o say_v the_o apostle_n allude_v unto_o the_o rite_n of_o the_o law_n but_o god_n do_v in_o time_n past_a institute_n not_o only_o sacrifice_v but_o also_o wash_n because_o of_o the_o weakness_n of_o man_n the_o apostle_n will_v plainelye_o express_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o both_o part_n be_v offer_v we_o in_o christ_n by_o which_o reason_n he_o say_v a_o little_a before_o not_o in_o water_n only_o for_o he_o do_v signify_v that_o not_o only_o some_o part_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v find_v in_o christ_n but_o also_o all_o part_n full_a so_o that_o nothing_o more_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v otherwhere_o 9_o if_o the_o witness_n of_o man_n he_o reason_v from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o

which_o can_v lie_v and_o deceive_v how_o unséem_o shall_v it_o be_v that_o god_n have_v loss_n credit_n with_o we_o in_o his_o own_o matter_n wherein_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a judge_n therefore_o only_a iniquity_n do_v let_v that_o we_o receive_v not_o christ_n when_o as_o he_o give_v creditte_v to_o his_o power_n by_o a_o lawful_a proof_n further_o he_o call_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n not_o only_o that_o which_o the_o spirit_n do_v give_v into_o our_o heart_n but_o that_o also_o which_o we_o have_v from_o water_n &_o blood_n for_o that_o power_n of_o purge_v and_o put_v away_o sin_n be_v not_o earthly_a but_o heavenly_a wherefore_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v esteem_v after_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o man_n but_o we_o must_v rather_o respect_v the_o purpose_n of_o god_n wherein_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n and_o that_o heavenlye_a power_n which_o have_v flow_v from_o thence_o further_o this_o be_v the_o witness_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v testify_v of_o his_o son_n 10_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v the_o witness_n in_o himself_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o god_n have_v make_v he_o a_o liar_n because_o he_o believe_v not_o the_o witness_n which_o god_n have_v testify_v of_o his_o son_n 11_o and_o this_o be_v the_o witness_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o eternal_a life_n and_o this_o life_n be_v
