babble_n that_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v dispose_v ourselves_o to_o receive_v our_o salvation_n when_o soever_o god_n offer_v it_o unto_o we_o it_o be_v so_o far_o of_o that_o it_o can_v be_v

unto_o we_o heap_v upon_o we_o at_o the_o day_n of_o our_o marriage_n so_o great_a and_o precious_a joy_n although_o he_o receive_v nothing_o of_o we_o in_o dowry_n but_o old_a baggage_n altogether_o cover_v with_o thick_a and_o filthy_a dirt_n to_o wit_n even_o our_o imperfection_n and_o iniquity_n we_o receive_v then_o in_o do_v this_o thing_n two_o great_a commodity_n of_o his_o righteousness_n life_n which_o serve_v we_o for_o two_o purpose_n to_o wit_n first_o to_o draw_v we_o out_o from_o the_o mire_z and_o clay_n wherein_o we_o be_v bury_v to_o deck_v we_o with_o goodly_a robe_n wherewith_o we_o be_v clad_v to_o make_v we_o beautiful_a that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o malediction_n and_o curse_n wherinto_o we_o be_v fall_v and_o then_o on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o bless_v we_o and_o to_o bring_v we_o into_o favour_n with_o god_n his_o father_n to_o draw_v we_o back_o from_o poverty_n and_o to_o enrich_v we_o to_o raise_v we_o up_o from_o

from_o fear_n terror_n and_o torment_n of_o conscience_n spar_v and_o shut_v up_o hell_n gate_n so_o on_o the_o other_o he_o have_v set_v we_o in_o a_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a hope_n of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o of_o a_o bless_a rest_n open_v his_o paradise_n unto_o us._n 18._o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o keep_v the_o key_n of_o

we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v always_o lock_v and_o shut_v against_o we_o by_o mean_a whereof_o at_o his_o death_n the_o veil_n that_o let_v the_o entrance_n into_o the_o sanctuary_n be_v break_v and_o cleave_v into_o two_o part_n 51._o to_o the_o end_n that_o that_o way_n may_v be_v make_v open_a for_o we_o and_o that_o every_o one_o may_v have_v a_o mean_a and_o liberty_n to_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o present_v themselves_o before_o he_o with_o confidence_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o paul_n write_v to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v 10._o that_o by_o his_o flesh_n he_o have_v prepare_v a_o way_n for_o we_o to_o heaven_n to_o attain_v unto_o life_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v in_o that_o flesh_n render_v unto_o god_n for_o we_o perfect_a obedience_n and_o by_o his_o death_n have_v satisfy_v his_o righteousness_n for_o our_o sin_n obtain_v for_o we_o by_o this_o mean_n the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o through_o this_o remission_n righteousness_n and_o by_o righteousness_n the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o by_o grace_n life_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o may_v now_o present_v ourselves_o to_o he_o in_o all_o assurance_n 14._o who_o
