declare_v a_o wonderful_a faith_n and_o love_n towards_o god_n as_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v consider_v all_o the_o whole_a circumstance_n of_o the_o story_n god_n have_v call_v he_o out_o of_o his_o native_a country_n and_o from_o his_o father_n house_n into_o a_o strange_a land_n he_o have_v promise_v he_o a_o son_n by_o his_o wife_n sara_n of_o who_o the_o bless_a seed_n shall_v come_v he_o perform_v this_o promise_n in_o his_o old_a age_n even_o when_o sara_n be_v by_o nature_n past_o childbearing_n 21.12_o gen._n 21.12_o he_o have_v no_o other_o child_n by_o she_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v in_o none_o but_o in_o he_o in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v bless_v each_o man_n shall_v now_o be_v drive_v to_o confess_v that_o here_o be_v a_o great_a trial_n when_o god_n do_v bid_v he_o take_v his_o only_a son_n even_o isaac_n and_o go_v three_o day_n journey_n to_o the_o place_n which_o he_o will_v show_v he_o and_o to_o offer_v he_o upon_o the_o altar_n a_o slay_v sacrifice_n how_o great_a a_o grief_n be_v it_o for_o a_o love_a father_n to_o loose_v a_o son_n which_o he_o love_v dear_o especial_o when_o he_o have_v no_o more_o son_n then_o how_o much_o grief_n may_v this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o see_v his_o son_n slay_v but_o also_o to_o slay_v he_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o most_o of_o all_o that_o child_n in_o who_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v make_v because_o christ_n shall_v come_v of_o he_o who_o be_v dead_a all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n do_v die_v with_o he_o all_o this_o do_v not_o withhold_v but_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n carry_v so_o great_a a_o love_n in_o he_o and_o fear_n towards_o god_n that_o he_o never_o grudge_v at_o the_o matter_n nor_o never_o make_v delay_n but_o go_v indeed_o to_o have_v slay_v his_o son_n have_v bind_v he_o upon_o the_o wood_n and_o have_v take_v in_o his_o hand_n the_o sacrifice_a knife_n to_o kill_v he_o then_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n do_v forbid_v he_o before_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v do_v because_o abraham_n do_v full_o purpose_n to_o do_v it_o then_o we_o see_v plain_o by_o this_o what_o the_o true_a faith_n be_v but_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v object_v and_o say_v this_o example_n be_v not_o fit_a every_o man_n can_v not_o be_v like_o abraham_n nor_o have_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o he_o have_v he_o be_v a_o rare_a man_n few_o or_o none_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o he_o saint_n james_n do_v answer_v if_o you_o think_v this_o example_n to_o be_v too_o high_a and_o that_o you_o be_v not_o to_o be_v measure_v by_o it_o i_o will_v show_v you_o another_o as_o low_a what_o say_v you_o to_o rahab_n the_o harlot_n be_v not_o she_o justify_v by_o work_n do_v not_o her_o faith_n declare_v itself_o by_o good_a work_n can_v you_o take_v any_o exception_n against_o this_o example_n will_v you_o not_o be_v ashamed_a that_o your_o faith_n shall_v not_o be_v like_o she_o as_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n do_v utter_v itself_o to_o the_o world_n so_o do_v she_o whereby_o she_o show_v herself_o to_o be_v a_o right_a daughter_n of_o abraham_n although_o she_o be_v not_o of_o his_o posterity_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o come_v of_o one_o of_o those_o curse_a nation_n which_o god_n have_v command_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n to_o root_v out_o and_o destroy_v yet_o i_o say_v she_o be_v his_o daughter_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n set_v it_o forth_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n not_o only_o of_o they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o circumcision_n but_o also_o of_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o father_n abraham_n like_v as_o all_o his_o child_n both_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n must_v do_v which_o will_v be_v bless_v with_o their_o faithful_a father_n abraham_n then_o we_o have_v here_o the_o example_n of_o the_o father_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a with_o the_o example_n of_o one_o of_o his_o daughter_n which_o have_v be_v a_o poor_a harlot_n what_o excuse_n remain_v or_o what_o can_v we_o pretend_v shall_v we_o not_o blush_v and_o be_v ashamed_a to_o say_v that_o we_o believe_v well_o and_o take_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v no_o more_o like_o he_o than_o as_o the_o common_a say_n be_v a_o apple_n be_v like_o a_o oyster_n christ_n our_o saviour_n do_v use_v this_o reason_n against_o the_o pharisy_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n john_n if_o you_o be_v abraham_n child_n say_v he_o you_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o abraham_n but_o now_o you_o go_v about_o to_o kill_v i_o a_o man_n that_o have_v tell_v you_o the_o truth_n which_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o god_n this_o do_v not_o abraham_n and_o a_o little_a after_o you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o lust_n of_o your_o father_n you_o will_v do_v what_o will_v you_o have_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o even_o the_o very_a seed_n and_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n which_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o child_n of_o god_n yet_o christ_n jesus_n tell_v they_o plain_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o why_o because_o their_o work_n be_v not_o like_o the_o work_n of_o abraham_n their_o belief_n be_v not_o like_o he_o but_o it_o be_v dead_a shall_v we_o not_o then_o as_o bold_o say_v at_o this_o day_n nay_o rather_o do_v not_o christ_n speak_v as_o plain_o as_o he_o do_v and_o tell_v ungodly_a man_n to_o their_o face_n howsoever_o you_o brag_v of_o your_o faith_n it_o be_v but_o dead_a and_o howsoever_o you_o boast_v and_o take_v yourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n yet_o in_o very_a deed_n unless_o you_o return_v from_o your_o ungodly_a way_n and_o show_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o true_a &_o lively_a faith_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n trust_v not_o unto_o your_o vain_a hope_n and_o dead_a faith_n for_o it_o will_v but_o deceive_v you_o dear_o belove_v let_v we_o not_o be_v so_o mad_a when_o god_n tell_v we_o this_o with_o his_o own_o mouth_n as_o to_o believe_v the_o contrary_a and_o to_o persuade_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o although_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o most_o pestilent_a craft_n of_o satan_n and_o come_v from_o the_o root_n of_o infidelity_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o our_o great_a grandmother_n eve_n god_n have_v tell_v she_o and_o adam_n that_o what_o day_n soever_o they_o shall_v eat_v of_o the_o tree_n they_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n the_o devil_n tell_v she_o you_o shall_v not_o die_v she_o believe_v he_o but_o believe_v not_o god_n she_o think_v even_o as_o the_o devil_n tell_v she_o she_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o or_o else_o she_o will_v never_o have_v eat_v thereof_o we_o have_v suck_v this_o poison_n from_o her_o breast_n when_o god_n tell_v we_o if_o your_o faith_n bring_v not_o forth_o good_a work_n it_o be_v dead_a it_o can_v not_o help_v you_o if_o you_o continue_v in_o these_o wicked_a deed_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o must_v speedy_o repent_v for_o you_o can_v not_o when_o you_o will_v no_o no_o say_v the_o devil_n on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o be_v not_o true_a your_o faith_n be_v good_a enough_o go_v on_o you_o shall_v do_v well_o god_n have_v mercy_n in_o store_n you_o may_v repent_v afterward_o now_o the_o most_o do_v believe_v the_o devil_n in_o this_o and_o give_v no_o credit_n at_o all_o unto_o god_n and_o never_o seek_v to_o try_v themselves_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o good_a case_n or_o not_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v here_o that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o that_o rahab_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n etc._n etc._n we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o word_n justify_v be_v take_v diverse_a way_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v one_o cause_n as_o i_o note_v before_o why_o saint_n paul_n and_o saint_n james_n seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a saint_n paul_n prove_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n take_v it_o as_o contrary_a to_o this_o word_n condemn_v for_o be_v by_o our_o sin_n guilty_a and_o to_o receive_v the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n we_o be_v in_o christ_n into_o who_o mystical_a body_n we_o be_v incorporate_v through_o faith_n acquit_v and_o discharge_v which_o be_v call_v justification_n this_o can_v be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n because_o there_o be_v no_o perfection_n in_o the_o deed_n of_o any_o but_o even_o the_o most_o pure_a be_v unclean_a and_o spot_a therefore_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v they_o be_v all_o

blood_n then_o have_v they_o not_o the_o faith_n remove_v that_o effect_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v remoove_v if_o they_o will_v not_o abhor_v so_o wicked_a a_o speech_n but_o affirm_v indeed_o that_o the_o reprobate_n do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o have_v the_o lively_a faith_n then_o let_v they_o see_v how_o they_o overthrow_v also_o the_o whole_a force_n of_o the_o argument_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o he_o prove_v that_o the_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n but_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n your_o father_n say_v he_o do_v eat_v mamna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o how_o stand_v his_o argument_n consider_v of_o it_o i_o pray_v you_o your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o yet_o be_v dead_a in_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v dead_a in_o the_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a death_n for_o of_o that_o death_n he_o speak_v see_v they_o also_o which_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n do_v die_v the_o natural_a death_n therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n for_o that_o which_o some_o do_v eat_v of_o and_o yet_o do_v die_v eternal_o be_v not_o by_o any_o mean_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o thus_o stand_v his_o reason_n whosoever_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n if_o they_o shall_v now_o say_v some_o of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o wilderness_n do_v eat_v the_o manna_n and_o yet_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v and_o thereupon_o christ_n do_v affirm_v that_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o then_o add_v their_o own_o say_n which_o be_v this_o some_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o do_v die_v in_o their_o sin_n what_o will_v then_o follow_v if_o this_o reason_n do_v stand_v in_o force_n your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n then_o shall_v not_o this_o also_o follow_v many_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v damn_v therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o such_o as_o do_v affirm_v that_o any_o of_o the_o reprobate_n have_v the_o livelie_a faith_n do_v gainsay_v christ_n and_o overthrow_v the_o force_n of_o his_o argument_n to_o proceed_v what_o can_v be_v more_o firm_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o reprobate_n can_v have_v the_o true_a lively_a and_o justify_v faith_n then_o that_o which_o saint_n paul_n have_v write_v where_o this_o ground_n be_v first_o to_o be_v lay_v that_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o have_v the_o true_a justify_n faith_n he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n for_o thus_o the_o apostle_n conjoin_v they_o wherein_o also_o after_o that_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o promise_n which_o be_v the_o earnest_n of_o our_o inheritance_n unto_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o purchase_a possession_n unto_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o glory_n ephes_n 1._o ver_fw-la 13.14_o be_v there_o any_o so_o absurd_a as_o to_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v a_o lively_a member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o every_o one_o be_v that_o have_v the_o livelie_a justify_n faith_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o that_o holy_a spirit_n of_o

spirit_n of_o adoption_n or_o without_o this_o seal_n or_o pledge_v then_o do_v we_o hold_v with_o they_o and_o then_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o reprobate_n be_v not_o the_o true_a justify_n and_o sanctify_v say_v which_o purge_v the_o heart_n act._n 15._o but_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o reprobate_n be_v for_o a_o time_n partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o

for_o first_o touch_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n that_o same_o spirit_n bear_v

moreover_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n the_o sanctify_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o all_o that_o have_v the_o true_a lively_a and_o justify_v faith_n bear_v witness_n with_o and_o to_o the_o
