shall_v not_o suffer_v only_o in_o his_o body_n but_o in_o his_o soul_n also_o now_o we_o know_v that_o this_o say_n to_o be_v satisfy_v or_o to_o be_v content_v import_v or_o carry_v with_o it_o a_o great_a desire_n for_o many_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v which_o shall_v touch_v we_o no_o whit_n and_o we_o overslip_v they_o yea_o and_o although_o they_o be_v for_o our_o commodity_n yet_o

that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o principal_a or_o else_o that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o whole_a but_o the_o prophet_n show_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v thorough_o satisfy_v never_o

and_o so_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v here_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n never_o respect_v his_o own_o person_n but_o be_v ravish_v with_o the_o love_n of_o we_o wherein_o he_o seek_v his_o whole_a contentment_n and_o felicity_n as_o if_o that_o have_v be_v his_o only_a desire_n love_n and_o care_n now_o we_o have_v again_o here_o to_o note_v that_o if_o so_o be_v we_o look_v for_o the_o benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n purchase_v for_o we_o by_o faith_n which_o be_v daily_o offer_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v void_a of_o our_o hope_n for_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v by_o which_o he_o express_v that_o god_n do_v not_o only_o mean_a to_o show_v his_o mercy_n unto_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o son_n when_o as_o he_o deliver_v he_o to_o death_n but_o will_v bring_v it_o also_o to_o pass_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o this_o

the_o rest_n that_o as_o his_o will_n be_v that_o his_o son_n shall_v be_v our_o redeemer_n even_o so_o also_o shall_v we_o true_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o and_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o suffer_v such_o cruel_a torment_n for_o us._n and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o out_o of_o this_o place_n as_o for_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v propound_v it_o be_v here_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v beat_v scourge_v and_o afflict_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n his_o father_n that_o he_o may_v bear_v the_o chastisement_n which_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o but_o that_o his_o soul_n also_o shall_v be_v grieve_v and_o vex_v it_o be_v not_o here_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o stripe_n affliction_n and_o death_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v before_o say_v but_o also_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o travail_n and_o grief_n of_o his_o soul_n for_o the_o word_n which_o he_o use_v import_v as_o much_o and_o therefore_o he_o mean_v to_o express_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o crucify_v after_o he_o have_v abode_n the_o gréevous_a torment_n in_o his_o body_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v go_v a_o great_a deal_n far_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v heavy_a and_o sorry_a for_o we_o and_o suffer_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v even_o subject_a thereto_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o to_o say_v true_o to_o what_o purpose_n have_v it_o be_v if_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v but_o open_o suffer_v &_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v but_o in_o body_n he_o shall_v then_o have_v be_v a_o redeemer_n of_o body_n only_o but_o because_o the_o principal_a matter_n why_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o be_v that_o we_o may_v feel_v and_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o death_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o deadly_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v feel_v these_o point_n in_o himself_o &_o so_o come_v before_o god_n may_v be_v as_o a_o wretched_a malefactor_n before_o his_o judge_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n bring_v not_o with_o it_o a_o temporal_a death_n only_o but_o also_o a_o feel_v of_o the_o enmity_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o horrible_a judgement_n against_o us._n and_o what_o be_v that_o forsooth_o the_o most_o insupportable_a and_o terrible_a thing_n that_o possible_o may_v be_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v drive_v thereto_o for_o our_o deliverance_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o the_o prophet_n at_o this_o present_a declare_v unto_o us._n and_o here_o we_o see_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o better_a how_o god_n have_v love_v we_o and_o what_o the_o infinite_a treasure_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o goodness_n be_v which_o he_o have_v pour_v out_o upon_o us._n moreover_o we_o may_v also_o very_a well_o understande_v what_o care_n and_o zeal_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v over_o our_o salvation_n when_o as_o he_o force_v not_o to_o make_v his_o own_o body_n answer_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o also_o to_o bring_v himself_o into_o such_o a_o horrible_a fear_n as_o one_o that_o shall_v feel_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n who_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o as_o upon_o he_o who_o have_v deserve_v the_o curse_n which_o god_n have_v pronounce_v from_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n to_o swallow_v we_o up_o into_o hell_n and_o a_o gulf_n utter_o to_o destroy_v us._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v feel_v all_o this_o now_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n when_o we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v thereby_o sweat_v water_n and_o blood_n 22.3_o luk._n 22.3_o and_o that_o the_o angel_n come_v down_o to_o comfort_v he_o this_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v a_o wonderful_a extreme_a sorrow_n and_o grief_n see_v the_o like_a example_n have_v never_o be_v see_v all_o the_o world_n over_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n of_o the_o travail_n or_o grief_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o it_o be_v true_a as_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o the_o sorrow_n of_o hell_n can_v not_o hold_v he_o under_o howbeit_o it_o be_v meet_v he_o shall_v strive_v with_o they_o 2.24_o act._n 2.24_o and_o in_o the_o end_n he_o have_v the_o victory_n over_o they_o but_o it_o be_v not_o without_o great_a and_o painful_a fight_n moreover_o we_o be_v present_o to_o gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o although_o we_o must_v die_v we_o must_v
not_o therefore_o say_v that_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o effectual_a nor_o yet_o profit_v we_o so_o much_o as_o be_v expedient_a because_o the_o death_n whereunto_o we_o be_v now_o subject_a be_v but_o a_o warn_n unto_o we_o of_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n for_o if_o we_o be_v clear_o exempt_a from_o death_n we_o shall_v then_o never_o know_v the_o grace_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o also_o know_v what_o need_n we_o have_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o that_o god_n make_v we_o always_o to_o feel_v his_o wrath_n for_o although_o we_o be_v altogether_o exempt_a thereof_o yet_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v still_o of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v groan_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o magnify_v his_o mercy_n so_o much_o the_o more_o wherefore_o the_o death_n to_o speak_v proper_o which_o all_o man_n now_o die_v as_o it_o be_v be_v not_o deadly_a to_o those_o which_o have_v faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o they_o pass_v out_o of_o this_o life_n to_o live_v unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o die_v we_o be_v to_o comfort_v ourselves_o and_o rejoice_v because_o we_o know_v that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o convert_v the_o evil_a into_o good_a &_o make_v death_n which_o before_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o mortal_a wound_n to_o serve_v for_o a_o plaster_n and_o how_o be_v that_o forsooth_o because_o we_o shall_v understande_v that_o god_n will_v not_o become_v a_o severe_a judge_n unto_o we_o &_o pour_v out_o his_o vengeance_n upon_o we_o when_o as_o we_o bring_v jesus_n christ_n with_o we_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o us._n and_o therefore_o death_n have_v not_o take_v such_o fearful_a hold_n on_o we_o as_o to_o confound_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o to_o despair_v 10.28_o joh._n 6.39_o &_o 10.28_o but_o do_v come_v free_o to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o as_o it_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n commend_v his_o soul_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o make_v he_o gardaine_v of_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o may_v we_o commend_v they_o most_o assure_o into_o his_o hand_n because_o he_o have_v say_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v give_v to_o he_o to_o keep_v shall_v never_o perish_v thus_o than_o we_o see_v to_o what_o end_n this_o anguish_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n serve_v and_o that_o over_o and_o beside_o he_o abode_n death_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o torment_n yet_o have_v he_o also_o this_o terror_n of_o the_o feel_v of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o judge_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n now_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o this_o be_v any_o whit_n derogatory_n from_o his_o majesty_n as_o that_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o a_o great_a deal_n the_o better_a understand_v how_o great_o he_o esteem_v of_o our_o salvation_n and_o how_o dear_a and_o precious_a we_o and_o our_o soul_n be_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o although_o he_o be_v make_v of_o no_o reputation_n as_o before_o have_v be_v see_v and_o have_v neither_o form_n nor_o fashion_n why_o man_n shall_v be_v desirous_a of_o he_o yet_o be_v this_o his_o light_a estimation_n of_o he_o to_o exalte_n he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o and_o in_o deed_n although_o god_n show_v his_o highness_n and_o infinite_a majesty_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o have_v we_o a_o far_o more_o large_a cause_n to_o glorify_v god_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o jesus_n christ_n abase_v and_o humble_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o be_v not_o rob_v of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n yet_o lie_v it_o hyd_fw-we for_o a_o time_n and_o be_v never_o perceive_v by_o any_o man_n and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n that_o which_o the_o prophet_n here_o handle_v as_o concern_v the_o pain_n and_o grief_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n now_o we_o see_v herein_o that_o he_o forget_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v and_o never_o care_v for_o himself_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v altogether_o give_v to_o save_v we_o and_o so_o answer_v for_o we_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o be_v our_o only_a pledge_n and_o in_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o very_a cur_n who_o will_v at_o this_o day_n abolish_v this_o doctrine_n have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o but_o bark_n at_o it_o like_o mastiff_n they_o know_v not_o why_o nor_o wherefore_o and_o although_o our_o popish_a hypocrite_n who_o understand_v this_o but_o by_o half_n be_v yet_o notwithstanding_o howsoever_o the_o world_n go_v drive_v to_o confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n feel_v most_o terrible_a pang_n in_o deed_n they_o be_v never_o able_a full_o to_o define_v of_o all_o that_o be_v in_o it_o but_o yet_o how_o ever_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v they_o jumble_v partly_o at_o it_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v here_o a_o company_n of_o villain_n more_o monkish_a they_o they_o which_o live_v in_o their_o cell_n &_o in_o those_o stew_n out_o of_o which_o they_o come_v who_o have_v bring_v their_o stench_n &_o infection_n into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o these_o dog_n which_o at_o this_o day_n carry_v the_o name_n of_o minister_n and_o do_v also_o occupy_v that_o place_n and_o yet_o make_v a_o swine_n sty_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v like_o dog_n without_o all_o religion_n and_o go_v about_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o deface_v and_o put_v out_o of_o man_n mind_n all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v for_o us._n now_o when_o we_o see_v that_o satan_n have_v thus_o push_v they_o forward_o as_o to_o become_v like_o shameless_a whore_n we_o ought_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o consider_v of_o this_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o condemn_v of_o pilot_n be_v a_o earthly_a judge_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v pardon_v before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o not_o only_o crucify_v that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o curse_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o suffer_v death_n that_o we_o may_v be_v free_v from_o it_o but_o also_o that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n may_v have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o be_v glad_a in_o that_o we_o feel_v the_o fatherly_a love_n of_o our_o god_n and_o so_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o open_a mouth_n be_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v plunge_v in_o these_o horror_n which_o he_o feel_v it_o be_v also_o meet_a that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o immaculate_a lamb_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o a_o wretched_a malefactor_n and_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o mirror_n &_o pattern_n of_o all_o holiness_n &_o perfection_n shall_v answer_v for_o we_o and_o become_v our_o borrow_n even_o to_o that_o very_a pinch_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v condemn_v unto_o the_o bottomless_a

the_o meaning_n of_o isaiah_n be_v when_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v see_v travel_n &_o grief_n in_o his_o soul_n howbeit_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v notwithstanding_o well_o

let_v not_o we_o doubt_v when_o jesus_n christ_n bid_v we_o to_o this_o table_n although_o we_o can_v perceive_v nothing_o else_o but_o bread_n &_o wine_n but_o that_o he_o very_o dwell_v in_o we_o

with_o how_o dear_a a_o price_n it_o be_v purchase_v for_o us._n and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o mean_a to_o suffer_v death_n and_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o appease_v the_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n but_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v true_o and_o indeed_o be_v our_o pledge_n he_o

and_o condemnation_n before_o god_n let_v we_o then_o hear_v right_o note_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o content_v to_o offer_v up_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o yield_v himself_o unto_o death_n but_o will_v withal_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n in_o the_o name_n and_o person_n of_o all_o sinner_n ready_a there_o to_o be_v condemn_v and_o that_o because_o he_o bear_v our_o burden_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v ashamed_a see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v submit_v himself_o to_o such_o a_o infirmity_n neither_o be_v it_o without_o

our_o suffering_n sin_n except_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v be_v ready_a at_o this_o day_n to_o help_v us._n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o feel_v in_o his_o own_o person_n the_o fear_n doubt_n and_o

will_v never_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o have_v compassion_n upon_o those_o that_o feel_v it_o because_o they_o have_v always_o take_v their_o ease_n and_o live_v in_o pleasure_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o although_o god_n in_o his_o own_o nature_n suffer_v not_o any_o of_o our_o passion_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o be_v courteous_a unto_o we_o but_o that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n nevertheless_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n know_v our_o weakness_n to_o help_v it_o &_o that_o we_o may_v come_v the_o bold_o unto_o he_o &_o have_v a_o more_o familiar_a access_n the_o apostle_n say_v 2.10_o hebr._n 2.10_o that_o he_o will_v for_o the_o same_o cause_n be_v tempt_v even_o as_o we_o be_v so_o then_o we_o have_v to_o observe_v in_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v read_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v come_v into_o this_o village_n of_o gethsamene_n &_o namely_o into_o the_o mount_n olivet_n it_o be_v to_o offer_v himself_o willing_o to_o death_n and_o herein_o his_o will_n be_v to_o be_v discharge_v of_o the_o office_n &_o charge_n that_o be_v commit_v unto_o he_o for_o why_o clothe_v he_o himself_o with_o our_o flesh_n &_o nature_n without_o it_o be_v to_o repair_v all_o our_o rebellion_n through_o his_o obedience_n to_o the_o end_n to_o purchase_v we_o full_a &_o perfect_a righteousness_n before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o therefore_o offer_v he_o himself_o to_o death_n because_o we_o may_v not_o be_v reconcile_v by_o any_o other_o mean_v neither_o yet_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n provoke_v by_o sin_n but_o by_o this_o only_a obedience_n thus_o we_o see_v why_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v free_o unto_o the_o place_n where_o he_o know_v that_o judas_n shall_v find_v he_o and_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o because_o our_o father_n adam_n through_o his_o transgression_n have_v throw_v we_o all_o down_o headlong_o into_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v power_n over_o all_o creature_n may_v be_v subject_a and_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o state_n of_o a_o

when_o we_o call_v upon_o god_n with_o full_a assurance_n &_o be_v hear_v as_o his_o child_n say_v that_o we_o be_v repute_v righteous_a through_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 5.19_o rom._n 5.19_o for_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v all_o our_o sin_n &_o offence_n so_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o grace_n may_v not_o come_v into_o a_o reckon_n before_o god_n but_o we_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n see_v that_o the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n cost_v very_o dear_a when_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o torment_v that_o he_o abode_n the_o very_a terror_n &_o fear_n of_o death_n insomuch_o that_o he_o sweat_v drop_n of_o blood_n &_o be_v as_o it_o be_v like_o one_o beside_o himself_o desire_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o may_v escape_v that_o distress_n and_o therefore_o since_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o come_v to_o the_o

nothing_o but_o pureness_n and_o righteousness_n be_v not_o able_a to_o submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n without_o he_o have_v deny_v himself_o be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v doubt_v that_o we_o be_v any_o way_n able_a thorough_o to_o perform_v it_o let_v we_o then_o learn_v to_o fight_v more_o courageous_o but_o because_o we_o see_v we_o can_v and_o that_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o

here_o we_o then_o see_v how_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v which_o be_v this_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v that_o there_o want_v nothing_o to_o the_o finish_n of_o our_o

that_o since_o god_n his_o father_n have_v make_v he_o a_o shephearde_n for_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o be_v at_o peace_n come_v life_n come_v death_n know_v that_o all_o shall_v be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o turn_v to_o our_o benefit_n and_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o when_o he_o have_v jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v riches_n enough_o 1.21_o phil._n 1.21_o and_o care_v neither_o for_o life_n nor_o death_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v gain_n unto_o he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o now_o learn_v that_o when_o death_n shall_v assail_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v break_v the_o sting_n which_o may_v have_v sting_v we_o deadly_a to_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o death_n shall_v no_o long_o hurt_v we_o and_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n yield_v up_o his_o

be_v that_o triumph_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v which_o already_o profit_v us._n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v how_o precious_a his_o death_n be_v when_o as_o he_o go_v so_o free_o unto_o

bold_a to_o come_v before_o god_n his_o father_n so_o that_o death_n itself_o be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o harm_n nor_o hurt_v us._n and_o although_o we_o see_v many_o thing_n in_o we_o which_o may_v

let_v we_o account_v it_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o glory_n and_o let_v we_o also_o understande_v that_o although_o we_o be_v put_v to_o shame_v under_o his_o conduct_n yet_o that_o we_o have_v whereof_o to_o rejoice_v because_o our_o estate_n shall_v be_v always_o bless_v forsomuch_o as_o that_o whatsoever_o misery_n affliction_n and_o rebuke_n we_o shall_v abide_v be_v

have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o this_o place_n but_o because_o god_n work_v after_o a_o strange_a &_o incomprehensible_a manner_n it_o shall_v confirm_v we_o a_o great_a deal_n the_o more_o for_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v by_o man_n of_o great_a estimation_n so_o that_o king_n and_o prince_n and_o all_o honourable_a estate_n every_o where_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o it_o &_o that_o

to_o all_o his_o force_n and_o substance_n now_o this_o be_v like_a unto_o a_o far_a ground_n well_o tyll_v plant_v with_o tree_n &_o vine_n &_o sow_v with_o wheat_n which_o at_o the_o world_n help_v

when_o we_o see_v what_o disputation_n and_o resistance_n be_v at_o this_o day_n to_o oppress_v the_o gospel_n &_o what_o a_o number_n of_o hire_a tongue_n for_o the_o same_o purpose_n for_o not_o only_o the_o popish_a hypocrite_n at_o this_o day_n let_v out_o their_o tongue_n like_o common_a harlot_n to_o blaspheme_v god_n &_o his_o word_n but_o also_o a_o many_o of_o cur_n even_o among_o we_o yet_o shall_v we_o beside_o likewise_o see_v what_o cruelty_n they_o use_v against_o the_o poor_a child_n of_o god_n lay_v continual_o strange_a platfourme_n to_o the_o devise_v of_o edict_n upon_o

abolish_v all_o religion_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o god_n be_v above_o they_o all_o &_o the_o doctrine_n victorious_a &_o proceed_v from_o he_o wherefore_o this_o aught_o to_o confirm_v we_o that_o although_o we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n to_o advance_v the_o dominion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o the_o doctrine_n of_o his_o gospel_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n rather_o hinder_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o find_v a_o entrance_n &_o keep_v his_o course_n in_o the_o

therefore_o we_o must_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v miraculous_a to_o see_v the_o gospel_n thus_o prosper_v thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n how_o we_o must_v put_v in_o practice_v this_o doctrine_n in_o these_o day_n yet_o there_o be_v something_o more_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v disfigure_v the_o prophet_n have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o a_o small_a twig_n but_o that_o which_o be_v more_o he_o shall_v be_v contemn_v refuse_v &_o not_o once_o vouchsafe_v to_o be_v look_v on_o neither_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v and_o this_o be_v to_o declare_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v be_v vile_o esteem_v of_o the_o world_n and_o suffer_v all_o reproach_n and_o shame_n as_o if_o man_n have_v not_o only_o forsake_v he_o but_o god_n also_o now_o to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o great_o to_o be_v desire_v in_o he_o in_o who_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o likelihood_n this_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o great_a abuse_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v overcome_v this_o temptation_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a point_n first_o because_o the_o jew_n look_v for_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n for_o this_o be_v so_o covetous_a &_o proud_a a_o nation_n as_o that_o they_o think_v god_n can_v not_o show_v himself_o merciful_a unto_o they_o except_o he_o heap_v on_o they_o great_a riches_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v live_v glorious_o &_o in_o all_o pleasure_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o redeemer_n it_o be_v that_o they_o look_v for_o and_o yet_o have_v god_n thorough_o advertise_v they_o that_o the_o redeemer_n shall_v be_v like_a unto_o a_o little_a twig_n who_o the_o world_n shall_v refuse_v and_o this_o admonition_n be_v not_o only_o necessary_a for_o they_o but_o also_o as_o necessary_a for_o we_o even_o at_o this_o day_n for_o this_o offence_n remain_v after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o s._n luke_n say_v that_o the_o gentile_n make_v a_o mock_n as_o it_o be_v at_o jesus_n christ_n &_o the_o jew_n be_v venimous_o &_o malicious_o arm_v against_o he_o &_o stumble_v at_o he_o as_o at_o a_o stumble_a stone_n and_o of_o these_o example_n we_o have_v enough_o even_o at_o this_o day_n with_o us._n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o consider_v so_o much_o the_o more_o of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o be_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v be_v thus_o misshapen_v and_o ill_o favour_v and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v nothing_o in_o he_o worthy_a commendation_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n for_o by_o the_o way_n we_o must_v always_o have_v this_o note_n which_o s._n john_n speak_v of_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o he_o howbeit_o there_o be_v many_o blind_a fool_n which_o never_o

that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o natural_a man_n to_o understande_v that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o save_v they_o &_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v all_o power_n both_o of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o that_o the_o fullness_n of_o all_o righteousness_n wisdom_n and_o holiness_n shall_v be_v in_o he_o no_o man_n i_o say_v be_v able_a to_o conceive_v this_o in_o his_o head_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v many_o notable_a miracle_n which_o testify_v his_o heavenly_a power_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o remain_v still_o disfigure_v and_o the_o faithless_a perceive_v it_o never_o a_o whit_n and_o therefore_o this_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n have_v full_o be_v accomplish_v 45.3_o psal_n 45.3_o that_o there_o be_v no_o gloriousnes_n in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o draw_v man_n to_o like_v of_o he_o it_o be_v very_o right_o say_v of_o the_o psalmist_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v glorious_o and_o

because_o god_n have_v give_v he_o infallible_a mark_n &_o token_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v know_v that_o he_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n the_o lively_a image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n 1.14_o john_n 1.14_o we_o have_v then_o sufficient_a reason_n enough_o to_o magnify_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n howbeit_o the_o world_n know_v it_o not_o and_o so_o we_o must_v come_v back_o again_o unto_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o every_o man_n have_v turn_v his_o back_n and_o close_v up_o his_o eye_n as_o against_o a_o most_o horrible_a and_o detestable_a thing_n what_o to_o seek_v for_o

we_o all_o know_v &_o have_v have_v too_o too_o much_o experience_n in_o ourselves_o that_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v abase_v in_o his_o death_n even_o so_o will_v our_o faith_n he_o

such_o sort_n lead_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o this_o life_n as_o that_o he_o be_v see_v to_o live_v virtuous_o &_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v he_o never_o able_a to_o refrain_v his_o

and_o mark_v beside_o why_o the_o prophet_n add_v that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o subject_a to_o infirmity_n this_o word_n infirmity_n have_v a_o large_a scope_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o

perceive_v how_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o now_o see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o his_o son_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n let_v not_o we_o be_v ashamed_a of_o that_o which_o

we_o see_v then_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o say_n be_v when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v his_o disciple_n brethren_n to_o wit_n he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n shall_v have_v the_o like_a privilege_n with_o they_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v nothing_o derogatorye_n from_o the_o power_n and_o majesty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o he_o thus_o conjoin_v himself_o with_o such_o wretched_a creature_n as_o we_o be_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v one_o of_o our_o company_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o a_o admiration_n with_o the_o matter_n whenas_o we_o see_v he_o use_v such_o his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o as_o that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v purchase_v for_o we_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n for_o the_o purchase_n whereof_o he_o abase_v himself_o &_o become_v of_o no_o reputation_n since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n vouchsave_v to_o allow_v we_o for_o his_o brethren_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v come_v unto_o god_n let_v we_o bold_o seek_v he_o and_o come_v unto_o he_o while_o he_o thus_o gentle_o invile_v we_o neither_o do_v he_o marvelous_a

to_o say_v the_o truth_n let_v it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a &_o blockishe_a yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o excuse_v our_o slackness_n if_o we_o come_v not_o unto_o our_o

wherefore_o when_o we_o daily_o eat_v and_o drink_v it_o witness_v thus_o much_o unto_o we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v his_o goodness_n unto_o we_o but_o in_o this_o table_n there_o be_v a_o special_a consideration_n to_o be_v have_v for_o it_o show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v the_o brethren_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n 17.21_o john_n 17.21_o that_o because_o as_o s._n

of_o god_n be_v show_v in_o they_o &_o man_n be_v free_v &_o pardon_v by_o they_o and_o how_o can_v jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v our_o life_n if_o he_o have_v not_o swallow_v up_o death_n by_o his_o

wherewith_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o be_v hold_v under_o for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o god_n must_v be_v our_o judge_n for_o ever_o &_o this_o be_v the_o most_o fearful_a thing_n that_o may_v be_v to_o have_v god_n our_o enemy_n and_o it_o behove_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v enter_v into_o it_o as_o our_o pledge_n &_o as_o one_o that_o shall_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o

again_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o that_o in_o this_o last_o point_n 1.4_o 1._o tim._n 3.16_o 2._o cor._n 13._o 4._o rom._n 1.4_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v he_o show_v himself_o to_o

the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o also_o in_o his_o gospel_n for_o how_o be_v jesus_n christ_n know_v and_o what_o obedience_n do_v the_o world_n yield_v he_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v we_o see_v that_o they_o unto_o who_o the_o great_a authority_n be_v give_v do_v not_o only_o scorn_v &_o condemn_v man_n but_o also_o beat_v they_o and_o scourge_v they_o and_o in_o the_o

we_o consider_v to_o what_o end_n it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n
and_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o stable_a lead_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n like_o a_o miserable_a poor_a handicrafte_n man_n and_o at_o last_o we_o see_v that_o all_o man_n set_v themselves_o

which_o be_v the_o very_a mean_a why_o he_o become_v a_o stumble_a block_n unto_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n namely_o say_v that_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n because_o the_o world_n can_v not_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o reasonable_a thing_n neither_o yet_o allow_v that_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n the_o very_a glory_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v

of_o the_o prophet_n now_o it_o be_v hereupon_o say_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v exalt_v although_o at_o the_o first_o there_o be_v no_o show_n of_o it_o yet_o god_n will_v increase_v

may_v take_v away_o our_o conceive_a offence_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o overthwartnes_n of_o our_o understanding_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o refuse_v to_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o see_v he_o thus_o disfigure_v the_o prophet_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n why_o for_o to_o say_v true_o if_o we_o come_v once_o to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o forthwith_o conceive_v of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o the_o same_o then_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o desire_v he_o to_o help_v we_o &_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_a to_o receive_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n for_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o most_o necessary_a remedy_n that_o may_v be_v for_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o thus_o in_o sum_n we_o see_v here_o the_o proceed_v of_o the_o prophet_n now_o when_o he_o make_v comparison_n between_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o a_o small_a twig_n or_o branch_n &_o a_o root_n in_o a_o dry_a and_o barren_a ground_n it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o beginning_n shall_v be_v base_a &_o of_o no_o valour_n so_o that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v scoff_n &_o

for_o when_o we_o here_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v of_o we_o must_v take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n wherewith_o god_n the_o father_n be_v appeal_v because_o

some_o such_o like_a thing_n that_o be_v offer_v now_o all_o this_o be_v do_v in_o the_o law_n under_o a_o figure_n so_o then_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v call_v sin_n because_o he_o bear_v our_o

see_v they_o to_o be_v very_o strange_a yet_o have_v we_o not_o the_o wit_n and_o understanding_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o edify_n for_o since_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o

here_o execute_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o accurse_a and_o damnable_a because_o he_o have_v falsify_v &_o stain_v the_o holy_a bible_n in_o say_v that_o all_o this_o be_v prophesy_v of_o cyrus_n a_o heathen_a idolater_n and_o rob_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o so_o proper_o belong_v unto_o he_o as_o that_o when_o isaiah_n have_v fasten_v this_o as_o it_o be_v

his_o just_a reward_n for_o the_o same_o howbeit_o this_o be_v a_o fearful_a falsifi_v of_o this_o godly_a prophecy_n and_o to_o say_v true_o never_o man_n alive_a ever_o once_o think_v of_o any_o

wherefore_o we_o be_v here_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o note_v that_o when_o the_o prophet_n bring_v we_o back_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o and_o beside_o that_o we_o may_v magnify_v the_o inestimable_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n because_o he_o will_v have_v his_o only_a son_n to_o become_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o refuse_v it_o not_o but_o as_o one_o forget_v himself_o have_v such_o care_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o that_o he_o descend_v into_o the_o bottomeles_a depth_n of_o horror_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v bear_v our_o curse_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v here_o also_o to_o consider_v of_o this_o point_n that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o be_v discharge_v before_o god_n but_o to_o set_v before_o we_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o we_o once_o for_o all_o indeed_o this_o be_v very_o true_a that_o the_o world_n always_o have_v a_o meaning_n to_o devise_v some_o one_o thing_n or_o a_o other_o i_o know_v not_o what_o wherewith_o to_o pay_v god_n as_o have_v heretofore_o be_v say_v and_o for_o example_n we_o see_v what_o store_n of_o pretty_a fond_a trifle_a babble_n many_o papist_n use_v wherewith_o to_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o in_o deed_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o be_v forgive_v without_o we_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o say_v they_o although_o god_n of_o his_o free_a mercy_n &_o goodness_n forgive_v we_o the_o fault_n yet_o he_o reserve_v always_o the_o punishment_n until_o such_o time_n as_o every_o of_o we_o have_v discharge_v himself_o before_o he_o and_o hereupon_o we_o see_v from_o whence_o come_v the_o foundation_n of_o purgatory_n for_o because_o we_o can_v while_o we_o live_v here_o make_v satisfaction_n but_o that_o there_o must_v remain_v always_o some_o remnant_n and_o arrearage_n we_o must_v therefore_o say_v they_o bear_v the_o punishment_n out_o of_o this_o world_n &_o that_o be_v it_o that_o must_v pay_v god_n loe_o here_o how_o the_o miserable_a world_n have_v be_v deceive_v and_o blin_o lead_v with_o the_o leasinge_n and_o dote_a dream_n of_o
satan_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o make_v a_o observation_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o as_o god_n have_v not_o set_v down_o in_o the_o law_n and_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o serve_v i_o this_o way_n and_o that_o as_o please_v you_o but_o place_v and_o ordain_v the_o sacrifice_n &_o ceremony_n contain_v in_o the_o law_n &_o thereon_o stay_v themselves_o without_o devise_v any_o new_a and_o strange_a kind_n of_o service_n &_o mean_v to_o obtain_v favour_n &_o grace_n even_o so_o likewise_o must_v we_o at_o this_o day_n be_v content_v with_o the_o

which_o also_o he_o will_v receive_v &_o adopt_v we_o unto_o himself_o thus_o we_o namely_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n mean_v to_o offer_v here_o unto_o us._n now_o it_o be_v moreover_o say_v that_o he_o will_v prolong_v his_o day_n &_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n to_o be_v permanent_a &_o that_o the_o will_v or_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n here_o he_o bring_v we_o yet_o once_o again_o back_o unto_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o glory_n &_o excellency_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v

of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o separate_v himself_o from_o it_o 2.11_o heb._n 2.11_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o he_o

because_o he_o have_v receyve_v most_o perfect_o 16._o john_n 1._o 4._o john_n 1._o 16._o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o be_v make_v man_n we_o be_v to_o receive_v from_o out_o of_o his_o fullness_n grace_n for_o grace_n wherefore_o by_o he_o it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v have_v favour_n before_o god_n for_o if_o we_o will_v draw_v near_o unto_o his_o majesty_n without_o this_o mean_a we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o have_v access_n unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o must_v we_o go_v the_o direct_a way_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n for_o since_o we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v most_o perfect_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o must_v be_v all_o partaker_n of_o they_o by_o he_o and_o through_o he_o and_o so_o saint_z peter_n use_v here_o a_o very_a good_a reason_n to_o admonish_v the_o jew_n that_o the_o redeemer_n be_v come_v to_o wit_n that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v pour_v out_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o beside_o he_o say_v you_o man_n of_o israel_n hear_v these_o word_n jesus_n of_o nazareth_n a_o man_n approve_v of_o god_n among_o you_o with_o wonder_n miracle_n &_o sign_n which_o god_n do_v by_o he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o you_o as_o you_o yourselves_o also_o know_v he_o i_o say_v be_v deliver_v by_o the_o determine_a counsel_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n you_o have_v by_o wicked_a hand_n crucify_v and_o slay_v this_o be_v even_o he_o by_o who_o god_n have_v whole_o give_v himself_o unto_o you_o and_o yet_o have_v you_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o you_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a self_n same_o man_n which_o be_v promise_v you_o in_o the_o law_n he_o come_v to_o be_v your_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n and_o this_o you_o can_v neither_o will_v nor_o choose_v but_o acknowledge_v because_o he_o remain_v not_o in_o death_n for_o god_n give_v he_o victory_n over_o death_n and_o he_o overcome_v it_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n what_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n peter_n tell_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o nothing_o here_o but_o of_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o first_o of_o all_o it_o can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o but_o that_o the_o jew_n must_v needs_o understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v it_o whereby_o saint_n peter_n mean_v to_o prove_v it_o in_o that_o which_o he_o here_o propound_v now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n to_o wit_n the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n promise_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o very_a same_o of_o who_o the_o prophet_n have_v write_v and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o suffer_v death_n for_o our_o redemption_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o it_o but_o glorious_o rise_v again_o triumph_v over_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n now_o for_o the_o second_o when_o as_o we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v what_o he_o be_v and_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v by_o he_o here_o be_v then_o two_o thing_n thorough_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o we_o for_o if_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o jew_n we_o must_v begin_v to_o instruct_v he_o in_o the_o principle_n of_o christianity_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o god_n have_v promise_v they_o and_o who_o in_o very_a deed_n his_o predecessor_n have_v put_v to_o death_n and_o that_o he_o appoint_v they_o the_o very_a time_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o beside_o that_o he_o have_v give_v he_o a_o testimony_n that_o he_o be_v his_o son_n by_o approve_v it_o with_o the_o sign_n and_o miracle_n which_o he_o do_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o likewise_o that_o after_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o the_o say_n which_o long_o ere_o that_o be_v foretell_v thus_o must_v we_o
deal_v with_o a_o jew_n to_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n moreover_o we_o must_v let_v he_o understand_v that_o when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o messiah_n be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v deceive_v to_o think_v he_o to_o be_v a_o earthly_a king_n as_o all_o the_o jew_n imagine_v and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o cause_v they_o to_o refuse_v jesus_n christ_n forsomuch_o as_o he_o reign_v not_o over_o the_o people_n as_o they_o think_v he_o shall_v have_v do_v now_o for_o the_o first_o point_n we_o have_v nothing_o wherefore_o to_o stand_v against_o the_o papist_n but_o for_o the_o second_o for_o they_o grant_v unto_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o same_o that_o be_v promise_v in_o the_o law_n and_o that_o he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o rise_v again_o and_o herein_o we_o easy_o agree_v but_o they_o be_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o what_o end_n he_o come_v for_o they_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o same_o man_n in_o deed_n that_o he_o be_v we_o know_v that_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o our_o salvation_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o &_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n and_o the_o papist_n clean_o contrary_a attribute_v it_o unto_o their_o work_n and_o meritte_n and_o other_o their_o invention_n and_o think_v by_o that_o mean_a to_o be_v sanctify_v wherefore_o they_o seek_v in_o their_o work_n the_o thing_n which_o can_v no_o way_n be_v find_v but_o in_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o teach_v the_o papist_n any_o thing_n as_o concern_v the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o only_o to_o show_v they_o what_o his_o power_n and_o virtue_n be_v wherefore_o he_o come_v and_o what_o benefit_n we_o may_v reap_v thereby_o now_o saint_n peter_n have_v here_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o set_v forth_o these_o two_o point_n for_o the_o jew_n know_v not_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o messiah_n send_v from_o god_n and_o therefore_o much_o less_o know_v they_o his_o power_n and_o why_o he_o come_v and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n among_o they_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o rise_v again_o so_o that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n they_o may_v know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o because_o he_o be_v deliver_v from_o death_n and_o overcome_v it_o and_o therefore_o that_o life_n and_o salvation_n must_v be_v have_v in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o saint_n peter_n mean_v to_o declare_v in_o this_o first_o place_n he_o will_v also_o show_v we_o what_o fruit_n we_o have_v by_o his_o resurrection_n which_o we_o mean_v to_o declare_v hereafter_o as_o it_o come_v in_o order_n to_o be_v handle_v now_o see_v we_o at_v this_o present_a understand_v the_o purpose_n of_o saint_n peter_n and_o the_o order_n of_o his_o sermon_n let_v we_o follow_v it_o and_o learn_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o god_n bestow_v any_o benefit_n upon_o we_o that_o it_o be_v because_o we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o for_o our_o work_n nor_o yet_o for_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v any_o way_n able_a to_o offer_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o have_v no_o more_o these_o royl_v imagination_n in_o our_o head_n as_o to_o be_v persuade_v this_o way_n and_o that_o but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o they_o as_o we_o see_v saint_n peter_n go_v about_o to_o bring_v the_o jew_n thereto_o here_o in_o this_o place_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o accuse_v they_o say_v you_o have_v slay_v he_o now_o we_o may_v very_o well_o see_v that_o he_o mean_v not_o by_o this_o speech_n to_o flatter_v they_o and_o indeed_o s._n peter_n do_v cast_v this_o in_o their_o dish_n as_o we_o say_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v prick_v their_o heart_n and_o wound_v they_o to_o the_o quick_a as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o it_o so_o stick_v &_o grieve_v they_o at_o the_o heart_n as_o that_o they_o be_v therewith_o convert_v thus_o and_o by_o this_o mean_a must_v man_n be_v win_v to_o come_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o bring_v to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o their_o offence_n for_o if_o we_o continual_o preach_v unto_o they_o pleasant_a and_o delightful_a thing_n they_o will_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o toy_n and_o trifle_n and_o be_v god_n fellow_n and_o play_v with_o he_o even_o as_o they_o will_v do_v with_o a_o mortal_a man_n we_o see_v how_o it_o fare_v with_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n when_o she_o speak_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o he_o tell_v she_o of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n whereof_o he_o say_v if_o she_o drink_v 11._o john_n 4._o 11._o that_o she_o shall_v never_o thirst_v she_o mock_v he_o like_o a_o naughty_a pack_n as_o she_o be_v but_o after_o he_o have_v once_o bring_v she_o to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o her_o sin_n and_o tell_v she_o that_o she_o go_v to_o seek_v her_o husband_n and_o remember_v she_o of_o her_o wicked_a life_n past_a she_o be_v more_o mild_a in_o her_o speech_n than_o she_o be_v at_o the_o first_o for_o when_o he_o simp_o and_o plain_o lay_v before_o she_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n she_o laugh_v he_o to_o scorn_v and_o say_v why_o where_o shall_v we_o have_v a_o bucket_n wherewith_o to_o draw_v the_o water_n see_v the_o well_o be_v so_o very_o deep_a but_o when_o he_o have_v say_v unto_o she_o thou_o be_v a_o harlot_n thou_o have_v have_v five_o husband_n and_o he_o who_o thou_o now_o haste_n be_v not_o thy_o husband_n she_o then_o acknowledge_v her_o

unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o make_v saint_n peter_n accuse_v the_o jew_n of_o the_o slay_v of_o christ_n not_o that_o he_o take_v any_o pleasure_n in_o thus_o

use_v such_o a_o bitter_a reprehension_n unto_o the_o jew_n whenas_o he_o say_v that_o they_o
have_v crucify_v and_o slay_v jesus_n christ_n and_o afterward_o say_v be_v deliver_v by_o the_o determine_a counsel_n and_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v although_o

of_o who_o thou_o so_o much_o speak_v of_o be_v the_o messiah_n why_o have_v he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v thus_o torment_v and_o put_v to_o death_n and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o will_v hardly_o persuade_v they_o for_o we_o see_v even_o at_o this_o day_n how_o they_o mock_v &_o scorn_v at_o it_o say_v if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o will_v abide_v the_o shameful_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o thus_o do_v the_o wicked_a vomit_n out_o this_o blasphemy_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o object_n of_o the_o cross_n because_o they_o think_v to_o be_v a_o thing_n derogatory_n from_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o s_n peter_n prevent_v these_o fantasy_n which_o may_v be_v a_o let_v unto_o the_o

if_o we_o right_o consider_v of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v clean_o void_a of_o all_o these_o fond_a imagination_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v not_o without_o wit_n and_o reason_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o do_v it_o mere_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n his_o resurrection_n also_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v observe_v of_o we_o for_o as_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v give_v we_o occasion_n of_o offence_n if_o we_o consider_v of_o it_o only_o by_o itself_o even_o so_o in_o his_o resurrection_n we_o see_v the_o wonderful_a power_n &_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o may_v make_v we_o not_o to_o be_v offend_v whatsoever_o trouble_n and_o fantasy_n arise_v and_o therefore_o s._n peter_n say_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n suffer_v be_v do_v by_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v the_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n to_o blot_v out_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n wherefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n tend_v to_o such_o a_o end_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v be_v do_v for_o our_o benefit_n &_o never_o inquire_v why_o jesus_n christ_n suffer_v because_o we_o see_v therein_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o god_n we_o see_v as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o love_n which_o appear_v unto_o we_o 3.4_o tit._n 3.4_o in_o that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n but_o deliver_v he_o to_o death_n for_o our_o sake_n on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o see_v how_o obedient_a jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o god_n his_o father_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a as_o to_o enter_v into_o these_o foolish_a thought_n and_o say_v why_o do_v god_n this_o or_o that_o for_o we_o know_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o have_v ordain_v be_v ground_v upon_o the_o fatherly_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v us._n and_o so_o when_o we_o look_v at_o this_o we_o they_o see_v why_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n jesus_n suffer_v this_o therefore_o be_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o s._n peter_n say_v the_o god_n have_v decree_v this_o in_o his_o unchangeable_a counsel_n moreover_o he_o be_v content_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wicked_a &_o ungodly_a wherein_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wicked_a to_o hurt_v the_o godly_a but_o that_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o wtout_o the_o sufferance_n of_o god_n neither_o can_v we_o have_v a_o more_o excellent_a spectacle_n héerin_o they_o the_o very_a person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o know_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o suffer_v be_v long_o ago_o foretell_v by_o the_o prophet_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v nail_v on_o the_o cross_n because_o it_o be_v so_o foretell_v thus_o we_o see_v how_o these_o théevish_a romanist_n crucify_v he_o to_o wit_n the_o soldier_n unto_o who_o the_o execution_n be_v commit_v because_o it_o be_v so_o prophesy_v they_o give_v he_o very_o sharp_a &_o bitter_a drink_n to_o drink_v 19.24.28_o john_n 19.24.28_o they_o part_v his_o garment_n &_o all_o this_o they_o do_v because_o it_o be_v so_o write_v to_o be_v short_a there_o be_v nothing_o do_v in_o this_o but_o that_o which_o god_n have_v before_o ordain_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o wicked_a can_v do_v nothing_o without_o god_n give_v they_o leave_v for_o we_o see_v that_o these_o ungodly_a one_o can_v go_v no_o far_o than_o god_n have_v license_v they_o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v say_v of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o our_o use_n for_o he_o himself_o have_v say_v that_o the_o little_a sparrow_n shall_v not_o fall_v on_o the_o ground_n without_o his_o ordnance_n if_o so_o be_v then_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n extend_v itself_o unto_o these_o small_a fowl_n 10.29_o mat._n 10.29_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o nothing_o come_v to_o pass_v without_o his_o

be_v the_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o touch_v he_o very_o near_o he_o will_v have_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n for_o although_o the_o world_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o he_o the_o goodman_n of_o the_o household_n yet_o do_v he_o singuler_o reverence_v and_o like_v his_o church_n and_o have_v a_o special_a care_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v to_o think_v of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o s._n peter_n will_v have_v no_o fantastical_a thing_n set_v down_o nor_o yet_o have_v we_o search_v after_o subtlety_n with_o edify_v not_o his_o meaning_n then_o be_v not_o to_o proceed_v after_o any_o such_o sort_n but_o show_v that_o god_n have_v so_o well_o provide_v for_o our_o salvation_n as_o that_o we_o need_v not_o seek_v for_o any_o other_o mean_v but_o that_o only_a which_o he_o have_v appoint_v and_o beside_o he_o will_v have_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o be_v so_o sure_a under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n &_o his_o protection_n as_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v against_o we_o but_o that_o which_o he_o have_v determine_v for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o if_o we_o be_v guide_v by_o fortune_n as_o mad_a man_n think_v we_o be_v sure_o our_o estate_n be_v more_o accurse_v than_o the_o estate_n of_o brute_n beast_n but_o whenas_o we_o understand_v that_o god_n be_v the_o governor_n of_o all_o thing_n this_o aught_o great_o to_o comfort_v we_o &_o we_o may_v thereon_o very_o well_o stay_v ourselves_o wherefore_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v a_o necessary_a virtue_n to_o know_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o as_o jesus_n christ_n suffer_v nothing_o but_o by_o god_n
