from_o our_o father_n adam_n as_o it_o be_v by_o inheritance_n the_o manner_n therefore_o that_o we_o be_v of_o jesus_n christ_n flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n be_v that_o we_o be_v graff_v into_o his_o body_n according_o as_o saint_n paul_n also_o use_v the_o same_o similitude_n of_o graff_v 6._o like_a as_o a_o sine_fw-la that_o be_v set_v into_o a_o stock_n take_v his_o sustenance_n from_o the_o same_o so_o must_v we_o by_o be_v graff_v into_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n trew_n it_o be_v that_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n of_o ourselves_o for_o his_o purpose_n here_o be_v but_o too_o show_v that_o as_o a_o branch_n wither_v which_o be_v break_v of_o from_o the_o root_n and_o so_o let_v alone_o but_o receive_v sap_n and_o nourishment_n from_o the_o

because_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o we_o be_v incorporate_v into_o he_o and_o it_o please_v he_o too_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o then_o do_v we_o feel_v in_o very_a deed_n that_o bread_n do_v not_o more_o nourish_v we_o when_o we_o eat_v it_o nor_o wine_n strengthen_v we_o better_v when_o we_o drink_v it_o than_o we_o very_o receive_v life_n and_o strength_n by_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o then_o that_o this_o be_v a_o high_a mystery_n every_o man_n be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o himself_o when_o we_o have_v debate_v never_o so_o much_o and_o scan_v the_o matter_n in_o our_o heart_n be_v there_o any_o of_o we_o that_o can_v comprehend_v how_o we_o be_v knit_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

that_o even_o at_o this_o day_n we_o live_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a too_o this_o say_n of_o he_o 19_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n for_o as_o i_o live_v so_o shall_v you_o also_o can_v this_o say_v i_o enter_v into_o so_o small_a a_o room_n as_o our_o sensual_a reason_n be_v no_o sure_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o a_o number_n of_o man_n can_v admit_v this_o point_n that_o we_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n but_o content_v themselves_o with_o their_o own_o imagination_n which_o be_v a_o abace_n of_o god_n grace_n which_o saint_n paul_n be_v not_o able_a too_o express_v but_o rather_o show_v we_o that_o it_o ought_v too_o ravish_v our_o wit_n too_o wonder_v at_o it_o many_o then_o may_v happen_v too_o have_v a_o rove_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o heathenish_a imagination_n that_o we_o be_v knit_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v too_o say_v that_o we_o be_v save_v by_o his_o grace_n but_o the_o scripture_n go_v further_a and_o though_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o say_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n yet_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o limit_v it_o after_o our_o own_o fancy_n for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o will_v make_v saint_n paul_n a_o liar_n all_o such_o as_o despise_v this_o spiritual_a conjunction_n which_o we_o have_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o secret_a nor_o wonderful_a power_n of_o god_n nor_o aught_o else_o as_o we_o hear_v speak_v of_o here_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v such_o speech_n too_o humble_v we_o and_o afterward_o ●oo_o exalt_v we_o again_o therefore_o we_o must_v on_o the_o one_o side_n confess_v that_o all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o wit_n which_o we_o have_v do_v fail_v we_o in_o that_o behalf_n and_o afterward_o rise_v up_o again_o for_o that_o we_o hear_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v we_o too_o he_o and_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v so_o knit_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o which_o he_o make_v not_o common_a too_o we_o and_o whereof_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o be_v partaker_n therefore_o if_o we_o have_v any_o contrary_a motion_n in_o ourselves_o and_o it_o come_v into_o our_o head_n too_o say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v in_o heaven_n shall_v nourish_v we_o with_o his_o own_o substance_n so_o as_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v our_o meat_n and_o his_o blood_n our_o drink_n i_o say_v if_o we_o fall_v into_o such_o fancy_n we_o must_v repulse_v they_o all_o with_o that_o which_o be_v say_v here_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a secret_n and_o we_o must_v rebuke_v our_o own_o folly_n and_o rashness_n in_o intend_v too_o measure_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v infinite_a our_o lord_n show_v we_o that_o when_o he_o have_v knit_v we_o too_o his_o only_a son_n he_o have_v do_v so_o high_a and_o profound_a a_o work_n as_o surmount_v all_o our_o capacity_n see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o always_o conclude_v that_o although_o we_o find_v it_o a_o strange_a matter_n yet_o must_v we_o rest_v upon_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o god_n himself_o special_o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v work_v after_o so_o high_a a_o fashion_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o ravish_v at_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v general_o upon_o this_o text_n that_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thereby_o too_o attain_v too_o the_o heavenly_a life_n be_v and_o do_v proceed_v of_o the_o fayed_a fountain_n of_o god_n incomprehensible_a wisdom_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o be_v so_o foolish_a and_o presumptuous_a as_o too_o say_v i_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o again_o i_o will_v see_v what_o please_v i_o let_v we_o restrain_v ourselves_o from_o such_o presumption_n for_o it_o will_v make_v we_o unworthy_a of_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v a_o say_n that_o import_v a_o great_a secret_a the_o end_n say_v i_o whereat_o we_o must_v begin_v if_o we_o mind_n too_o fare_v the_o better_a by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o too_o be_v partaker_n of_o all_o his_o grace_n be_v too_o understand_v that_o god_n work_v in_o our_o salvation_n be_v a_o great_a mystery_n or_o secret_a according_a too_o the_o text_n that_o i_o allege_v heretofore_o out_o of_o the_o epistle_n too_o timothy_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n say_v saint_n paul_n that_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n 16._o for_o what_o a_o great_a distance_n be_v there_o between_o god_n and_o man_n we_o be_v but_o worm_n and_o rottenness_n and_o god_n majesty_n be_v so_o high_a as_o no_o man_n can_v say_v what_o it_o be_v nor_o conceive_v the_o hundred_o part_n of_o it_o in_o thought_n but_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o be_v ravish_v too_o wonder_n at_o it_o see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v so_o link_v himself_o unto_o we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a emanuel_n as_o he_o be_v name_v in_o isaiah_n 14._o and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o far_o asunder_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o mystery_n and_o secret_n in_o all_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o receive_v of_o our_o god_n and_o special_o in_o our_o incorporate_n or_o graft_n into_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o flesh_n will_v have_v we_o too_o be_v graff_v into_o he_o as_o into_o our_o root_n too_o be_v quicken_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o too_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o life_n so_o as_o he_o have_v nothing_o peculiar_a too_o himself_o alone_o but_o will_v have_v all_o to_o be_v common_a unto_o we_o will_v we_o then_o receive_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o bring_v we_o and_o will_v we_o by_o his_o mean_n overcome_v all_o the_o temptation_n that_o can_v cross_v we_o we_o must_v taste_v thorough_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n tell_v we_o and_o set_v afore_o we_o and_o give_v such_o reverend_a credit_n unto_o they_o by_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n work_v in_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o same_o may_v content_v we_o and_o make_v we_o too_o forsake_v all_o our_o own_o natural_a understanding_n now_o let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o sin_n pray_v he_o too_o vouchsafe_v too_o

saint_n paul_n too_o redress_v it_o say_v that_o we_o have_v our_o wash_n warrant_v in_o baptim_n under_o the_o figure_n of_o water_n yea_o but_o yet_o must_v we_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o word_n

and_o think_v that_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o baptism_n be_v inclose_v in_o those_o word_n it_o be_v a_o abuse_n and_o true_o it_o can_v not_o serve_v we_o but_o for_o a_o charm_n and_o

the_o papist_n be_v destitute_a of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sacrament_n through_o their_o own_o misbeleef_n because_o they_o have_v rob_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o his_o power_n and_o

think_v themselves_o too_o have_v the_o sacrament_n still_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o without_o the_o word_n as_o for_o example_n in_o deed_n in_o baptyze_a they_o mumble_v enough_o and_o they_o

forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v shut_v he_o up_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o as_o a_o man_n will_v have_v judge_v in_o common_a opinion_n that_o he_o swerve_v not_o a_o side_n even_o too_o the_o death_n but_o he_o content_v not_o himself_o with_o his_o only_a be_v of_o a_o faithful_a witness_n and_o martyr_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o he_o think_v therewithal_o that_o it_o become_v he_o

by_o example_n now_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o serve_v god_n in_o such_o wise_n even_o too_o the_o last_o gasp_n of_o our_o life_n as_o we_o may_v have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o neighbour_n also_o and_o procure_v their_o welare_v as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v accordingly_z as_z god_n have_v bind_v we_o thereunto_o and_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o tychicus_n shall_v be_v receive_v he_o call_v he_o

so_o as_o they_o may_v have_v authority_n as_o be_v requisite_a that_o be_v the_o example_n which_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o for_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o vainglory_n or_o favour_n of_o man_n that_o he_o commend_v tychicus_n after_o that_o manner_n but_o his_o desire_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v know_v christ_n faithful_a minister_n too_o their_o own_o benefit_n so_o as_o he_o may_v have_v

epistle_n withal_o saint_n paul_n pray_v that_o the_o brethren_n may_v have_v peace_n love_n and_o faith_n from_o god_n and_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o this_o word_n peace_n be_v common_o take_v in_o saint_n paul_n for_o all_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n in_o deed_n it_o signify_v proper_o concord_n but_o the_o apostle_n be_v accustom_v too_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n have_v use_v the_o word_n that_o import_v both_o and_o when_o saint_n paul_n say_v grace_n and_o peace_n be_v give_v unto_o you_o by_o the_o first_o he_o wish_v god_n favour_n and_o mercy_n and_o by_o the_o
