think_v well_o if_o it_o be_v so_o conclude_v in_o the_o council_n of_o god_n then_o be_v not_o we_o guilty_a of_o his_o death_n he_o answer_v unto_o the_o same_o &_o say_v unrighteous_a man_n bring_v he_o thereto_o &_o it_o be_v you_o yourselves_o that_o slay_v he_o &_o crucify_v he_o as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v yea_o even_o so_o behove_v it_o to_o be_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n may_v be_v satisfy_v christ_n must_v needs_o die_v to_o recompense_v and_o wash_v away_o with_o his_o blood_n the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o you_o jew_n which_o have_v betray_v christ_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o cross_n be_v not_o unjust_o accuse_v you_o can_v through_o the_o fore_a ordinance_n of_o god_n discharge_v yourselves_o that_o you_o be_v without_o sin_n see_v you_o have_v slay_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n he_o be_v guiltless_a by_o this_o now_o we_o learn_v that_o when_o we_o do_v wrong_a and_o evil_a we_o may_v not_o excuse_v ourselves_o with_o the_o free_a ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o god_n but_o the_o devil_n and_o our_o own_o wickedness_n that_o provoke_v we_o to_o sin_n and_o here_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o gospel_n be_v offer_v unto_o the_o world_n the_o sin_n and_o vice_n also_o wherein_o the_o world_n be_v entangle_v must_v be_v speak_v of_o and_o touch_v for_o no_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v and_o come_v to_o the_o health_n of_o his_o soul_n through_o christ_n which_o do_v not_o first_o know_v &_o confess_v his_o sin_n &_o wickedness_n how_o can_v he_o be_v make_v whole_a that_o will_n will_v not_o know_v his_o own_o disease_n and_o sickness_n therefore_o do_v peter_n set_v before_o their_o eye_n their_o great_a sin_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v against_o the_o innocent_a son_n of_o god_n say_v the_o innocent_a and_o righteous_a who_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o you_o have_v you_o slay_v and_o crucify_v which_o be_v a_o great_a wickedness_n &_o sin_n now_o go_v to_o on_o your_o behalf_n it_o be_v evil_o do_v and_o grevous_o offend_v but_o on_o his_o behalf_n it_o be_v so_o ordain_v before_o therefore_o at_o his_o death_n which_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o shameful_a and_o vile_a you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v offend_v that_o you_o therefore_o will_v hold_v the_o less_o of_o he_o or_o not_o receive_v and_o know_v he_o for_o a_o saviour_n for_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o his_o former_a conversation_n the_o same_o be_v innocent_a pure_a and_o holy_a therefore_o can_v you_o doubt_v but_o he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n beside_o this_o you_o have_v perceyve_v and_o see_v god_n to_o be_v every_o where_o in_o his_o work_n for_o the_o token_n and_o wonder_n which_o he_o show_v and_o declare_v among_o you_o give_v evident_a knowledge_n that_o god_n be_v in_o he_o &_o wrought_v in_o he_o present_o for_o no_o man_n have_v be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o token_n that_o he_o do_v unless_o god_n have_v be_v with_o he_o which_o token_n also_o be_v speak_v of_o before_o by_o the_o prophet_n concern_v christ_n and_o by_o those_o token_n must_v you_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v even_o the_o true_a messiah_n of_o who_o the_o prophet_n speak_v wherefore_o consider_v that_o by_o his_o former_a doctrine_n &_o godly_a power_n you_o know_v that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a messiah_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v offend_v that_o he_o as_o a_o evil_a doer_n be_v crucify_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o it_o be_v the_o special_a determination_n of_o god_n that_o messiah_n shall_v be_v crucify_v according_a to_o the_o foresaying_n of_o the_o prophet_n consider_v you_o also_o that_o the_o prophet_n likewise_o speak_v of_o his_o resurrection_n from_o death_n by_o the_o which_o you_o may_v well_o perceive_v that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a messiah_n thus_o earnest_n be_v peter_n beat_v into_o they_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o that_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n for_o christ_n resurrection_n from_o death_n be_v a_o strong_a argument_n to_o prove_v his_o godhead_n as_o it_o be_v teach_v rom._n 1._o john_n 20._o yea_o he_o die_v say_v peter_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o now_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o rise_v again_o from_o death_n death_n have_v no_o more_o power_n over_o he_o for_o he_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o his_o kingdom_n be_v everlasting_a yea_o unpossible_a it_o be_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v corrupt_v in_o the_o earth_n &_o sepulchre_n namely_o he_o that_o be_v the_o firstling_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o that_o from_o his_o own_o godly_a power_n see_v that_o these_o word_n of_o peter_n concern_v the_o resurrection_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n be_v little_o credit_v among_o the_o jew_n he_o allege_v the_o 15._o psalm_n of_o david_n who_o among_o they_o be_v in_o great_a reputation_n but_o now_o may_v the_o jew_n say_v or_o think_v david_n speak_v these_o word_n of_o himself_o and_o not_o of_o christ_n that_o weapon_n therefore_o do_v peter_n take_v from_o they_o and_o prove_v that_o the_o same_o word_n may_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v refer_v unto_o david_n but_o that_o david_n as_o a_o prophet_n have_v knowledge_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v speak_v they_o of_o christ_n in_o who_o they_o be_v now_o fulfil_v and_o thus_o he_o say_v ye_o man_n and_o brethren_n let_v i_o free_o speak_v unto_o you_o of_o the_o patriarch_n david_n for_o he_o be_v both_o dead_a and_o bury_v and_o his_o sepulchre_n remain_v with_o we_o until_o this_o day_n therefore_o see_v he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o know_v that_o god_n have_v swear_v unto_o he_o with_o a_o oath_n that_o christ_n as_o concern_v the_o flesh_n shall_v come_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o loin_n and_o shall_v sit_v on_o his_o seat_n he_o know_v this_o before_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o soul_n shall_v not_o be_v leave_v in_o hell_n neither_o his_o flesh_n shall_v see_v corruption_n this_o jesus_n have_v god_n raise_v up_o whereof_o we_o all_o be_v witness_n doctrine_n and_o fruit_n the_o prophet_n david_n speak_v of_o one_o who_o flesh_n shall_v not_o corrupt_v now_o can_v not_o he_o have_v speak_v this_o of_o himself_o for_o his_o flesh_n corrupt_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n which_o we_o yet_o have_v and_o his_o bone_n lie_v yet_o in_o the_o sepulchre_n by_o the_o which_o it_o may_v well_o be_v perceive_v that_o david_n as_o a_o prophet_n know_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v speak_v of_o another_o which_o shall_v be_v bear_v out_o of_o his_o own_o loin_n and_o seed_n 7._o who_o god_n with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n have_v promise_v to_o sit_v upon_o his_o seat_n and_o reign_v after_o he_o not_o only_o for_o a_o season_n but_o also_o that_o his_o governance_n kingdom_n and_o dominion_n shall_v be_v perpetual_a and_o endure_v for_o ever_o and_o this_o king_n be_v christ_n the_o true_a messiah_n who_o as_o concern_v the_o flesh_n be_v bear_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n and_o be_v his_o son_n if_o this_o son_n now_o of_o david_n have_v after_o death_n remain_v still_o in_o death_n and_o not_o rise_v from_o death_n again_o how_o can_v he_o then_o reign_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o david_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o have_v open_v this_o unto_o he_o prophesy_v it_o of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n his_o son_n the_o eternal_a king_n for_o though_o he_o as_o a_o very_a man_n die_v indeed_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o be_v then_o bury_v yet_o his_o soul_n or_o life_n remain_v not_o in_o death_n neither_o do_v his_o body_n resolve_v into_o corruption_n as_o other_o man_n but_o on_o the_o three_o day_n he_o rise_v again_o from_o death_n to_o life_n this_o must_v we_o needs_o testify_v for_o after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o appear_v do_v unto_o us._n we_o see_v he_o we_o hear_v he_o we_o handle_v he_o we_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v with_o he_o here_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n understand_v &_o know_v by_o faith_n the_o resurrection_n and_o eternal_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n see_v they_o prophesy_v of_o it_o so_o evident_o here_o be_v also_o prove_v that_o christ_n die_v in_o very_a deed_n &_o yet_o abide_v not_o still_o in_o death_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o overcome_v it_o also_o that_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o holy_a passion_n and_o death_n come_v not_o only_o to_o the_o live_n upon_o earth_n but_o unto_o all_o those_o that_o die_v before_o he_o according_a as_o saint_n peter_n in_o his_o epistle_n and_o the_o article_n of_o our_o belief_n he_o descend_v into_o hell_n declare_v whereof_o in_o the_o catechism_n upon_o the_o creed_n there_o be_v make_v mention_n sufficient_a since_o now_o that_o he_o by_o the_o
right_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v exalt_v and_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o father_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o have_v shed_v forth_o this_o gift_n which_o you_o now_o see_v and_o

he_o send_v down_o from_o on_o high_a such_o a_o excellent_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n upon_o those_o that_o be_v he_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a evidence_n that_o he_o mighty_o reign_v at_o the_o

in_o visible_a manner_n for_o the_o glorious_a triumpher_n ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n with_o great_a victory_n 4_o do_v after_o the_o custom_n of_o great_a king_n and_o let_v fall_v his_o gift_n down_o upon_o we_o and_o part_v they_o among_o we_o namely_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o he_o as_o man_n receive_v of_o the_o father_n but_o after_o the_o godhead_n he_o have_v he_o always_o for_o of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n there_o be_v one_o only_a spirit_n neither_o may_v this_o be_v apply_v unto_o david_n for_o though_o he_o as_o a_o just_a friend_n of_o god_n be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o heaven_n yet_o do_v not_o he_o immediate_o after_o death_n ascend_v into_o heaven_n with_o body_n and_o soul_n that_o he_o may_v be_v report_v to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n 22._o for_o his_o word_n speak_v of_o another_o who_o he_o call_v his_o lord_n namely_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o nine_o psalm_n he_o say_v god_n the_o father_n say_v unto_o

the_o same_o anoint_a saviour_n and_o king_n who_o of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v first_o promise_v &_o then_o give_v for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o of_o all_o
