many_o weighty_a reason_n certain_a of_o the_o chief_a of_o which_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o note_v in_o this_o place_n first_o our_o mediator_n god_n and_o man_n must_v be_v one_o person_n that_o he_o may_v make_v god_n and_o man_n one_z therefore_o he_o be_v join_v to_o the_o father_n by_o his_o true_a god_n head_n &_o unto_o man_n by_o true_a manhood_n that_o so_o he_o may_v couple_v both_o together_o the_o second_o cause_n the_o mediator_n shall_v bring_v nothing_o to_o pass_v between_o the_o party_n at_o variance_n if_o he_o cleave_v to_o the_o one_o and_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o wherefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o mediator_n by_o a_o certain_a necessity_n shall_v be_v join_v to_o both_o party_n to_o god_n therefore_o who_o by_o our_o sin_n be_v offend_v our_o mediator_n be_v join_v by_o true_a divinity_n and_o unto_o man_z he_o be_v associate_v by_o true_a humanity_n that_o through_o the_o society_n which_o he_o have_v with_o both_o part_n he_o may_v

must_v needs_o be_v say_v he_o that_o the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o nigh_o affinity_n to_o both_o part_n must_v reduce_v both_o into_o friendship_n and_o concord_n and_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o god_n shall_v take_v man_n unto_o he_o and_o man_n shall_v yield_v over_o himself_o unto_o god_n and_o theodoretus_n say_v even_o as_o he_o 1._o which_o

be_v break_v the_o three_o cause_n if_o the_o mediator_n be_v not_o one_o person_n then_o the_o work_n of_o the_o redemption_n wrought_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o sufficient_a price_n for_o sin_n through_o which_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n be_v offend_v for_o death_n be_v due_a debt_n for_o sin_n but_o pure_a god_n can_v not_o taste_v death_n neither_o man_n

those_o which_o do_v it_o ignoraunt_o the_o other_o of_o those_o which_o know_v themselves_o to_o do_v evil_o and_o wicked_o i_o say_v paul_n be_v a_o persecuter_n 1._o and_o blasphemous_a against_o

have_v be_v illuminate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o have_v have_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o person_n and_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o have_v taste_v the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o have_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o turk_n &_o the_o pope_n which_o otherwise_o be_v execrable_a sinner_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o never_o possess_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v

abound_v above_o sin_n neither_o be_v the_o hugeness_n of_o this_o sin_n so_o great_a but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o our_o lord_n jesu_n christ_n be_v a_o thousand_o fold_n great_a and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n 28._o but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v convert_v &_o live_v i_o affirm_v this_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v forgive_v to_o all_o those_o which_o do_v earnest_o repent_v and_o desire_v forgiveness_n for_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o christ_n do_v manifest_o teach_v this_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v remit_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n neither_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v therefore_o this_o sin_n seem_v to_o be_v great_a than_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n god_n forbid_v yea_o far_o of_o be_v that_o it_o be_v most_o firm_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o y_o e_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v far_o abound_v above_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o

they_o have_v utter_o deny_v the_o true_a foundation_n of_o repentance_n namely_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n without_o the_o which_o neither_o any_o healthful_a repentance_n or_o conversion_n

of_o christ_n which_o alone_o remain_v the_o cleanser_n away_o of_o all_o sin_n these_o thing_n i_o purpose_v brief_o to_o speak_v concern_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o i_o

christ_n say_v if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n keep_v the_o commandment_n but_o to_o keep_v the_o commandment_n be_v to_o declare_v himself_o righteous_a according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o albeit_o no_o man_n fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o we_o before_o have_v show_v neither_o obtain_v righteousness_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o the_o will_n of_o god_n remain_v
