mighty_a father_n so_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o prayer_n our_o father_n to_o comfort_v we_o but_o it_o be_v say_v also_o in_o heaven_n to_o magnify_v his_o power_n &_o greatness_n over_o all_o thing_n likewise_o in_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v say_v hear_v o_o israel_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n great_a &_o terrible_a no_o doubt_n to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o fear_v he_o reverent_o and_o not_o to_o presume_v upon_o he_o but_o yet_o he_o add_v comfort_n afterward_o say_v thy_o god_n to_o deliver_v thou_o hereafter_o which_o have_v be_v thy_o god_n already_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o both_o must_v go_v together_o god_n justice_n and_o god_n mercy_n as_o david_n say_v thy_o rod_n &_o thy_o staff_n they_o comfort_v i_o psal_n 23._o we_o call_v he_o father_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o creation_n for_o so_o he_o be_v our_o maker_n and_o creator_n neither_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o government_n for_o so_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o those_o name_n be_v not_o so_o comfortable_a unto_o we_o because_o he_o be_v so_o that_o be_v a_o lord_n and_o maker_n even_o to_o the_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_a but_o we_o call_v he_o father_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v his_o only_o beget_v and_o belove_a son_n then_o in_o that_o we_o be_v his_o child_n adopt_v in_o christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n which_o have_v make_v we_o all_o son_n and_o child_n to_o his_o heavenly_a father_n by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n by_o his_o obedience_n by_o his_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o his_o satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n as_o john_n say_v chap._n 3._o behold_v what_o love_n the_o father_n have_v show_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v a_o marvelous_a comfort_n that_o the_o god_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n the_o lord_n of_o lord_n be_v a_o love_a father_n unto_o us._n and_o this_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o we_o have_v this_o dignity_n &_o prerogative_n above_o other_o not_o in_o ourselves_o nor_o by_o birth_n and_o nature_n for_o so_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n ire_n &_o wrath_n of_o condennation_n because_o of_o our_o sinful_a father_n adam_n transgress_v god_n commandment_n when_o we_o name_v he_o almighty_a we_o do_v not_o conceive_v he_o to_o have_v such_o a_o power_n which_o he_o do_v not_o use_v but_o in_o say_v this_o we_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v all_o thing_n &_o creature_n under_o his_o power_n &_o obedience_n even_o the_o devil_n themselves_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o gospel_n how_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o how_o he_o ask_v leave_v before_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o job_n job._n 1._o again_o we_o must_v needs_o grant_v that_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o almighty_a he_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v he_o rule_v &_o govern_v heaven_n &_o earth_n the_o sea_n and_o hell_n &_o all_o thing_n in_o they_o the_o whole_a world_n at_o his_o beck_n do_v bend_v &_o yield_v itself_o so_o that_o our_o god_n be_v so_o mighty_a be_v not_o a_o idle_a god_n in_o heaven_n as_o the_o wicked_a do_v imagine_v but_o dispose_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o just_a &_o wise_a providence_n howsoever_o they_o fall_v out_o nothing_o come_v to_o pass_v wtout_o his_o will_n and_o counsel_n no_o not_o the_o flight_n of_o sparrow_n mat._n 10._o for_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o uphold_v heaven_n and_o earth_n yea_o the_o whole_a world_n with_o his_o power_n it_o will_v fall_v to_o nothing_o to_o dust_n &_o ash_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n do_v sustain_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o might_n hebr._n 1_o and_o here_o our_o faith_n have_v a_o double_a comfort_n by_o the_o providence_n &_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n first_o because_o it_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v sufficient_a power_n to_o defend_v his_o church_n second_o because_o he_o be_v willling_a to_o do_v it_o it_o follow_v maker_n of_o heaven_n &_o earth_n this_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v almighty_a because_o he_o have_v make_v heaven_n &_o earth_n of_o nothing_o when_o it_o be_v not_o gen._n 1._o and_o this_o do_v notable_o confute_v the_o wicked_a &_o false_a opinion_n of_o the_o philosopher_n as_o plato_n &_o aristotle_n who_o great_o to_o the_o derogation_n &_o impair_n of_o god_n glory_n &_o power_n thought_n &_o hold_v that_o the_o world_n be_v eternal_a from_o the_o beginning_n and_o never_o make_v neither_o shall_v have_v end_n but_o this_o be_v false_a &_o blasphemous_a against_o god_n we_o learn_v here_o another_o lesson_n in_o our_o faith_n that_o the_o world_n be_v make_v and_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n as_o moses_n prove_v the_o one_o &_o peter_n the_o other_o 2._o epist_n 3._o chap._n now_o by_o make_v of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n we_o understand_v all_o thing_n contain_v in_o heaven_n &_o earth_n as_o the_o sea_n for_o david_n say_v the_o sea_n be_v he_o and_o he_o make_v it_o 95._o psa_fw-la the_o thing_n in_o heaven_n as_o his_o angel_n the_o thing_n in_o earth_n man_n beast_n fish_n fowl_n worm_n &_o all_o other_o senseless_a creature_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v therefore_o as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v maker_n of_o all_o thing_n visible_a which_o we_o see_v &_o invible_n which_o we_o see_v not_o as_o in_o the_o creed_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o nice_a in_o more_o full_o express_v and_o this_o be_v do_v because_o of_o the_o heretic_n call_v the_o manichee_n which_o do_v appoint_v two_o beginning_n of_o thing_n create_v the_o one_o good_a which_o be_v god_n and_o he_o they_o make_v the_o beginner_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n the_o other_o they_o imagine_v to_o be_v ill_a which_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o they_o set_v over_o the_o evil_a thing_n and_o suppose_v he_o the_o maker_n of_o they_o but_o these_o man_n be_v deceive_v which_o think_v any_o ill_a thing_n to_o be_v create_v and_o make_v ill_o at_o the_o first_o for_o the_o scripture_n do_v otherwise_o pronounce_v of_o all_o thing_n that_o they_o be_v exceed_o good_a genes_n 1._o but_o in_o that_o any_o thing_n be_v ill_a it_o be_v by_o depravation_n and_o corruption_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n of_o adam_n and_o not_o by_o creation_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v make_v a_o angel_n but_o he_o fall_v and_o lose_v his_o first_o estate_n and_o so_o become_v a_o devil_n and_o wicked_a spirit_n by_o his_o own_o corruption_n and_o will_n as_o peter_n prove_v 2._o epistle_n 2._o chap._n now_o if_o the_o devil_n make_v some_o thing_n they_o god_n make_v not_o all_o but_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n he_o say_v not_o some_o thing_n but_o all_o nay_o he_o go_v further_a &_o add_v even_o the_o wicked_a for_o the_o day_n of_o evil_a not_o that_o he_o create_v they_o wicked_a for_o he_o make_v they_o in_o adam_n perfect_a and_o good_a but_o he_o have_v appoint_v they_o to_o serve_v to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n although_o they_o be_v vessel_n of_o wrath_n he_o be_v glorify_v in_o they_o after_o a_o sort_n although_o not_o so_o as_o he_o be_v glorify_v in_o the_o good_a for_o therefore_o do_v he_o stir_v up_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n because_o he_o will_v show_v his_o glory_n upon_o he_o rom._n 9_o see_v then_o god_n have_v make_v heaven_n he_o have_v make_v also_o all_o the_o ornament_n of_o heaven_n as_o the_o heavenly_a spirit_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n the_o star_n to_o govern_v the_o earth_n by_o their_o light_n for_o in_o that_o we_o give_v he_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o great_a we_o must_v needs_o grant_v the_o lesser_a and_o he_o that_o can_v make_v the_o great_a and_o huge_a heaven_n of_o nothing_o be_v able_a also_o to_o make_v the_o thing_n contain_v in_o they_o of_o less_o importance_n as_o concern_v the_o angel_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o they_o be_v all_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o be_v his_o minister_a spirit_n to_o execute_v his_o commandment_n and_o judgement_n against_o the_o wicked_a and_o for_o to_o serve_v for_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v heir_n of_o salvation_n hebr._n 1_o it_o be_v but_o curiosity_n to_o inquire_v of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o creation_n or_o of_o the_o order_n and_o estate_n in_o heaven_n moses_n tell_v we_o a_o good_a and_o short_a lesson_n that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v make_v perfect_a in_o six_o day_n with_o all_o the_o host_n and_o furniture_n of_o they_o and_o say_v no_o more_o of_o this_o matter_n to_o teach_v we_o sobriety_n in_o these_o thing_n to_o wade_v no_o far_o than_o we_o have_v the_o warrant_n of_o the_o word_n
of_o the_o leviticall_a law_n but_o also_o in_o diverse_a man_n as_o samson_n who_o die_v himself_o to_o deliver_v his_o people_n from_o the_o philistines_n so_o christ_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o devil_n die_v himself_o david_n also_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o in_o many_o thing_n here_o we_o see_v then_o what_o a_o grievous_a thing_n sin_n be_v in_o god_n sight_n that_o he_o can_v be_v pacify_v by_o no_o other_o mean_n then_o by_o the_o blood_n &_o death_n of_o his_o only_a and_o well-beloved_a son_n jesus_n sure_o our_o sin_n be_v as_o hard_o as_o the_o adamant_n stone_n which_o can_v not_o be_v break_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n then_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o true_a goat_n jesus_n christ_n consider_v here_o the_o wonderful_a &_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o christ_n he_o will_v die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v escape_v even_o as_o the_o pelicane_n which_o have_v bring_v forth_o her_o young_a one_o dead_a or_o be_v sting_v &_o kill_v by_o serpent_n she_o peck_v forth_o her_o heart_n blood_n to_o revive_v her_o young_a one_o so_o we_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v in_o sin_n and_o altogether_o dead_a in_o our_o trespass_n and_o offence_n ephes_n 2._o sting_v of_o that_o old_a and_o fiery_a serpent_n the_o devil_n which_o first_o beguile_v our_o parent_n in_o paradise_n and_o so_o have_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v death_n we_o i_o say_v in_o this_o case_n be_v reviue_v and_o quicken_v again_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o that_o true_a pelicane_n jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o from_o his_o heart_n have_v shed_v and_o pour_v out_o for_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v how_o deep_o we_o be_v indebt_v to_o christ_n for_o his_o great_a love_n to_o we_o in_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o how_o few_o remember_v this_o death_n many_o not_o once_o in_o a_o day_n nay_o not_o once_o in_o a_o week_n or_o month_n i_o fear_v some_o not_o once_o in_o a_o whole_a year_n do_v remember_v it_o well_o they_o be_v the_o more_o unthankeful_a &_o unkind_a son_n to_o god_n so_o good_a a_o father_n &_o christ_n so_o love_v a_o brother_n it_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o shall_v especial_o be_v remember_v although_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v forget_v believe_v i_o dear_a brethren_n christ_n die_v not_o to_o this_o end_n that_o his_o death_n shall_v be_v forget_v which_o be_v so_o cruel_a to_o he_o or_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v light_o remember_v of_o we_o for_o that_o he_o may_v have_v we_o to_o remember_v it_o the_o better_a he_o institute_v his_o last_o supper_n in_o bread_n &_o wine_n the_o bread_n break_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o most_o pure_a &_o precious_a body_n break_v &_o bruise_v for_o our_o sin_n &_o that_o it_o do_v nourish_v we_o as_o the_o bread_n do_v nourish_v our_o body_n for_o his_o flesh_n be_v meat_n in_o

do_v quench_v our_o thirst_n and_o refresh_v we_o &_o comfort_v our_o heart_n be_v soroweful_a so_o do_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n all_o these_o thing_n unto_o we_o in_o great_a measure_n and_o abundance_n this_o do_v also_o teach_v we_o unity_n &_o love_n together_o that_o as_o many_o grape_n make_v but_o one_o wine_n and_o many_o grain_n of_o corn_n &_o wheat_n make_v but_o one_o lofe_z of_o bread_n so_o shall_v we_o be_v but_o one_o in_o christ_n our_o head_n for_o we_o be_v all_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n the_o other_o sacrament_n also_o of_o baptism_n do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o christ_n death_n for_o as_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n do_v wash_v the_o body_n so_o do_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n wash_v our_o soul_n and_o cleanse_v they_o from_o their_o filthiness_n which_o thing_n be_v represent_v unto_o we_o in_o our_o baptism_n a_o sign_n of_o our_o new_a birth_n and_o regeneration_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n therefore_o in_o our_o baptism_n we_o ought_v to_o remember_v this_o death_n for_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o into_o his_o death_n by_o this_o seal_n and_o sacrament_n of_o our_o baptism_n as_o paul_n prove_v rom._n 6._o now_o we_o see_v that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v remember_v this_o great_a benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n we_o have_v token_n of_o it_o two_o in_o number_n the_o supper_n of_o christ_n and_o baptism_n for_o by_o they_o we_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n until_o he_o come_v again_o to_o judgement_n 1._o cor._n 11._o now_o if_o any_o man_n marvel_v why_o we_o die_v since_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o we_o &_o taste_v death_n once_o for_o all_o man_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n &_o to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n he_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o second_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o not_o this_o first_o &_o natural_a death_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o for_o by_o it_o we_o enter_v into_o life_n and_o although_o it_o be_v sometime_o grievous_a to_o god_n child_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o deadly_a to_o they_o nay_o rather_o joyful_a see_v by_o it_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n their_o head_n as_o it_o be_v to_o paul_n i_o desire_v say_v he_o to_o be_v loose_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n meaning_n to_o die_v for_o albeit_o this_o death_n of_o the_o body_n dwell_v in_o we_o yet_o it_o have_v no_o dominion_n over_o we_o by_o the_o force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v make_v now_o to_o the_o elect_a a_o gate_n to_o pass_v by_o into_o heaven_n we_o shall_v not_o then_o fear_v death_n see_v that_o the_o loss_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n be_v the_o high_a way_n into_o god_n everlasting_a kingdom_n and_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v concern_v sin_n also_o if_o any_o man_n ask_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o have_v sin_n still_o remain_v in_o we_o see_v christ_n have_v die_v for_o it_o to_o take_v it_o away_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o condemnation_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o hurt_v we_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o destruction_n but_o the_o full_a abolish_n of_o sin_n shall_v cease_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n of_o judgement_n when_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v restore_v again_o to_o their_o perfection_n act_n 5._o so_o that_o now_o we_o may_v say_v there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n of_o sin_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n rom._n 8._o for_o see_v the_o wonderful_a

his_o shame_n our_o glory_n his_o descension_n into_o hell_n be_v make_v our_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n and_o final_o his_o misery_n here_o in_o this_o life_n be_v make_v our_o felicity_n and_o

and_o declare_v the_o wonder_n that_o he_o do_v for_o the_o child_n of_o man_n this_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v two_o benefit_n in_o it_o for_o first_o it_o cause_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o die_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o then_o here_o it_o mortify_v our_o earthly_a member_n it_o kill_v our_o old_a man_n adam_n within_o we_o that_o it_o bring_v not_o forth_o his_o accustom_a action_n of_o sin_n within_o us._n thus_o much_o concern_v his_o death_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v brief_o the_o four_o point_n in_o this_o article_n which_o be_v his_o burial_n christ_n be_v bury_v by_o a_o

that_o we_o learn_v by_o this_o burial_n of_o christ_n be_v this_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n teach_v we_o rom._n 6._o and_o colos_n 2._o that_o we_o shall_v so_o through_o baptism_n be_v free_v and_o bury_v from_o sin_n as_o he_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o grave_n that_o like_a as_o christ_n be_v raise_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n so_o we_o also_o shall_v

in_o christ_n he_o give_v they_o power_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n by_o nature_n &_o substance_n and_o we_o by_o

predestinate_v we_o to_o be_v adopt_v for_o son_n in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o this_o then_o that_o we_o be_v son_n to_o so_o high_a &_o great_a a_o god_n a_o lord_n and_o king_n ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v very_o thankful_a aught_o we_o not_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o honour_n &_o glory_n more_o than_o our_o own_o sure_o we_o shall_v do_v so_o for_o how_o will_v i_o love_v

ought_v i_o to_o love_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o have_v make_v i_o son_n to_o his_o father_n by_o his_o death_n &_o satisfaction_n and_o when_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o imagine_v a_o carnal_a or_o gross_a beget_n as_o be_v here_o among_o man_n but_o a_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a incomprehensible_a and_o unspeakable_a to_o our_o capacity_n before_o all_o beginning_n most_o mystical_a &_o secret_a the_o last_o title_n that_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n here_o be_v the_o dignity_n &_o honour_n of_o a_o lord_n we_o call_v he_o our_o lord_n
