but_o the_o faithful_a hasten_v unto_o it_o willing_o because_o it_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v a_o passage_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n this_o be_v it_o that_o paul_n now_o say_v i_o desire_v to_o die_v because_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v join_v with_o christ_n yet_o the_o faithful_a cease_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n but_o when_o they_o turn_v their_o eye_n unto_o that_o life_n that_o follow_v after_o death_n by_o this_o consolation_n they_o easy_o overcome_v that_o fear_n true_o whosoever_o beléeve_v in_o

the_o estate_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v after_o death_n namely_o that_o they_o abide_v and_o dwell_v with_o christ_n we_o be_v also_o with_o christ_n in_o this_o life_n so_o far_o as_o his_o

we_o be_v dissolve_v 25_o and_o this_o be_o i_o sure_a of_o some_o because_o it_o seem_v absurd_a that_o the_o apostle_n shall_v confess_v himself_o to_o be_v frustrate_a of_o his_o expectation_n think_v that_o he_o be_v afterward_o deliver_v out_o of_o band_n and_o that_o he_o pass_v through_o many_o region_n of_o the_o world_n but_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o fear_v that_o for_o the_o saint_n be_v wont_v to_o moderate_v their_o hope_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o in_o their_o mind_n they_o presume_v no_o more_o than_o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v so_o where_o they_o have_v a_o sure_a testimony_n of_o god_n his_o will_n there_o they_o stay_v themselves_o with_o a_o certain_a persuasion_n which_o admit_v no_o doubt_n such_o be_v the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o continual_a

and_o after_o all_o be_v cast_v away_o he_o be_v find_v for_o here_o that_o say_n be_v of_o value_n i_o have_v perish_v if_o i_o have_v not_o perish_v but_o because_o the_o verb_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o passive_a termination_n have_v a_o active_a signification_n &_o then_o it_o signify_v to_o recover_v that_o which_o thou_o have_v willing_o part_v from_o as_o budeus_n show_v by_o many_o example_n i_o have_v not_o doubt_v to_o alter_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o other_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o sense_n shall_v be_v more_o full_a and_o the_o doctrine_n more_o plentiful_a namely_o that_o paul_n renounce_v all_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v that_o he_o may_v recover_v they_o in_o christ_n and_o the_o answer_v better_a to_o the_o word_n gain_v because_o it_o signify_v that_o it_o be_v no_o small_a or_o common_a gain_n see_v that_o christ_n contain_v all_o thing_n in_o himself_o and_o true_o we_o lose_v nothing_o when_o we_o come_v unto_o christ_n naked_a and_o empty_a because_o we_o they_o begin_v to_o obtain_v those_o thing_n which_o before_o we_o false_o think_v that_o we_o have_v therefore_o he_o declare_v better_o how_o great_a the_o riches_n of_o christ_n be_v because_o in_o he_o we_o obtain_v and_o find_v all_o thing_n not_o have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n a_o notable_a place_n if_o any_o desire_n to_o have_v a_o certain_a definition_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o hold_v the_o true_a nature_n thereof_o for_o paul_n here_o compare_v two_o righteousness_n together_o the_o one_o he_o say_v be_v proper_a unto_o man_n the_o which_o he_o call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n the_o other_o he_o teach_v to_o be_v from_o god_n and_o to_o be_v obtain_v through_o faith_n and_o to_o be_v repose_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n these_o he_o make_v so_o contrary_a between_o themselves_o that_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v together_o two_o thing_n therefore_o be_v here_o to_o be_v note_v that_o thou_o must_v give_v over_o and_o resign_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v righteous_a by_o faith_n then_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n proceed_v from_o god_n and_o be_v not_o proper_a unto_o man_n touch_v both_o of_o these_o there_o be_v great_a contention_n at_o this_o day_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n for_o neither_o do_v they_o grant_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v altogether_o from_o god_n but_o they_o attribute_v part_n unto_o man_n and_o they_o mingle_v they_o together_o as_o though_o the_o one_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o other_o therefore_o we_o must_v diligent_o weigh_v all_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n because_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o wherein_o there_o be_v not_o great_a moment_n he_o deni_v that_o the_o faithful_a have_v any_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o but_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o righteousness_n of_o work_n it_o may_v worthy_o be_v call_v we_o therefore_o he_o leave_v no_o place_n at_o all_o for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n why_o he_o call_v it_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n he_o show_v rom._n 10.5_o namely_o because_o this_o be_v the_o edict_n of_o the_o law_n he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o therefore_o the_o law_n do_v pronounce_v a_o man_n to_o be_v just_a by_o his_o work_n neither_o can_v the_o papist_n cavil_v that_o all_o this_o must_v be_v restrain_v unto_o ceremony_n for_o first_o it_o be_v a_o frivolous_a trifle_n that_o paul_n be_v only_o righteous_a by_o ceremony_n then_o by_o this_o reason_n he_o oppose_v these_o two_o righteousness_n the_o one_o be_v proper_a unto_o man_n the_o other_o be_v from_o god_n therefore_o the_o one_o do_v signify_v the_o reward_n of_o work_n the_o other_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n so_o general_o he_o oppose_v the_o merit_n of_o man_n unto_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n for_o when_o the_o law_n bring_v work_n faith_n offer_v a_o naked_a man_n unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v clothe_v with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n whereas_o therefore_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n be_v from_o god_n it_o be_v not_o only_o because_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o because_o god_n of_o his_o goodness_n do_v justify_v we_o or_o else_o because_o by_o faith_n we_o receive_v the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o have_v give_v us._n 10._o that_o i_o may_v know_v he_o he_o describe_v the_o force_n &_o nature_n of_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o not_o naked_a or_o confuse_a but_o while_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v perceive_v he_o put_v resurrection_n for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o redemption_n so_o that_o it_o contain_v death_n under_o it_o but_o because_o it_o be_v little_a to_o know_v christ_n crucify_v and_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a except_o thou_o do_v apprehend_v the_o fruit_n thereof_o he_o speak_v namely_o of_o the_o efficacy_n then_o therefore_o christ_n be_v know_v aright_o when_o we_o feel_v what_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n do_v prevail_v in_o we_o and_o how_o effectual_a he_o be_v in_o we_o for_o there_o all_o thing_n be_v set_v out_o unto_o we_o the_o take_v away_o of_o sin_n delivery_n from_o guiltiness_n satisfaction_n the_o victory_n of_o death_n the_o obtain_n of_o righteousness_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o bless_a immortality_n and_o the_o fellowship_n of_o his_o passion_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o free_a righteousness_n which_o be_v get_v by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n we_o obtain_v through_o faith_n he_o join_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o godly_a &_o that_o lest_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o he_o bring_v in_o a_o idle_a faith_n which_o bring_v forth_o no_o effect_n in_o their_o life_n &_o he_o show_v that_o these_o be_v the_o study_n wherein_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o child_n exercise_v though_o the_o false_a apostle_n thrust_v upon_o they_o the_o bare_a element_n of_o ceremony_n he_o therefore_o that_o by_o faith_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o good_n of_o christ_n let_v he_o know_v that_o this_o
