righteousness_n and_o everlasting_a life_n be_v come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o he_o death_n be_v slay_v whereof_o saint_n paul_n make_v a_o very_a godly_a discourse_n which_o i_o purpose_v to_o set_v down_o here_o follow_v wherefore_o say_v he_o like_v as_o by_o one_o 5._o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n even_o so_o death_n go_v over_o all_o man_n forasmuch_o as_o all_o man_n have_v sin_v for_o until_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o sin_n be_v not_o regard_v as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nevertheless_o death_n reign_v from_o adam_n unto_o moses_n even_o over_o they_o also_o that_o sin_v not_o after_o the_o like_a manner_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n who_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v but_o yet_o the_o gift_n be_v not_o so_o as_o be_v the_o offence_n for_o if_o through_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o many_o be_v dead_a much_o more_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o neither_o be_v the_o gift_n so_o as_o that_o which_o enter_v in_o by_o one_o that_o sin_v for_o the_o fault_n come_v of_o one_o offence_n unto_o condemnation_n but_o the_o gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n to_o justification_n for_o if_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o death_n reign_v through_o one_o much_o more_o shall_v they_o which_o receive_v the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n reign_n in_o life_n through_o one_o that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n likewise_o then_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o that_o fault_n come_v on_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o benefit_n abound_v towards_o all_o man_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v also_o make_v righteous_a moreover_o the_o law_n enter_v thereupon_o that_o the_o offence_n shall_v abound_v nevertheless_o where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_v abound_v much_o more_o that_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n so_o may_v grace_v also_o reign_v by_o righteousness_n unto_o eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n we_o manifest_o perceive_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a which_o we_o have_v say_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o make_v sin_n know_v which_o sin_n we_o do_v also_o know_v not_o to_o be_v of_o great_a force_n than_o christ_n righteousness_n wherethrough_a we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n for_o even_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v strong_a than_o adam_n be_v so_o be_v his_o righteousness_n more_o mighty_a than_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n and_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o to_o make_v all_o man_n sinner_n and_o child_n of_o wrath_n without_o any_o misdeed_n of_o our_o own_o much_o more_o shall_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o make_v we_o all_o righteous_a and_o the_o child_n of_o grace_n without_o any_o of_o our_o own_o good_a work_n which_o can_v be_v good_a unless_o that_o before_o we_o do_v they_o we_o ourselves_o be_v make_v good_a as_o augustine_n also_o affirm_v hereby_o a_o man_n may_v know_v in_o what_o despair_n error_n

those_o that_o will_v needs_o justify_v themselves_o afore_o god_n by_o their_o own_o law_n and_o observance_n i_o will_v wish_v that_o such_o folk_n shall_v a_o little_a compare_v the_o one_o with_o

through_o his_o righteousness_n
baptism_n we_o put_v on_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n affirm_v and_o consequent_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o of_o all_o his_o 3._o good_n and_o under_o this_o precious_a robe_n the_o sin_n that_o our_o frailty_n commit_v lie_v hide_v and_o cover_v and_o be_v not_o impute_v unto_o us._n and_o so_o according_a as_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o 4._o

36._o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o sin_n but_o it_o stand_v a_o christian_a in_o hand_n to_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o upon_o these_o word_n he_o take_v no_o liberty_n to_o sin_n for_o this_o doctrine_n belong_v to_o none_o such_o as_o honour_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n confess_v christ_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o yet_o deny_v he_o in_o their_o deed_n but_o it_o concern_v the_o true_a christian_n who_o though_o they_o fight_v manful_o against_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n do_v notwithstanding_o fall_v daily_o and_o be_v constrain_v to_o say_v lord_n forgive_v we_o our_o offence_n these_o be_v they_o to_o who_o we_o speak_v to_o comfort_v they_o and_o to_o hold_v they_o up_o that_o they_o fall_v not_o into_o despair_n as_o though_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n wash_v we_o not_o from_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o our_o advocate_n and_o the_o atonementmaker_n for_o his_o member_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v provoke_v to_o doubt_v of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o our_o own_o conscience_n begin_v to_o trouble_v we_o then_o must_v we_o furnish_v ourselves_o with_o true_a faith_n and_o out_o of_o hand_n have_v recourse_n to_o the_o precious_a lord_n blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shed_v for_o we_o upon_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o distribute_v to_o his_o apostle_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n under_o the_o veil_n of_o a_o most_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o be_v ordain_v by_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v celebrate_v the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o death_n and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o visible_a sacrament_n our_o trouble_a conscience_n may_v be_v assure_v of_o our_o atonement_n with_o god_n the_o bless_a jesus_n christ_n make_v his_o last_o

forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n we_o know_v that_o a_o 3._o testament_n say_v saint_n paul_n although_o it_o be_v but_o a_o man_n testament_n yet_o nevertheless_o if_o it_o be_v allow_v no_o man_n

do_v jesus_n christ_n make_v his_o testament_n wherein_o he_o promise_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o grace_n and_o good_a favour_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o father_n together_o with_o mercy_n and_o everlasting_a life_n and_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o say_a testament_n shall_v be_v of_o full_a force_n he_o have_v confirm_v it_o with_o his_o own_o precious_a blood_n and_o with_o his_o own_o death_n by_o reason_n whereof_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o by_o his_o 9_o die_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o those_o transgression_n which_o be_v in_o the_o former_a testament_n they_o that_o be_v call_v may_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o eternal_a inheritance_n for_o wheresoever_o be_v a_o testament_n there_o must_v also_o be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n for_o the_o testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o party_n insomuch_o as_o it_o be_v of_o no_o value_n so_o long_o as_o the_o maker_n of_o it_o be_v alive_a wherefore_o we_o be_v very_o certain_a and_o assure_v by_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o his_o testament_n be_v available_a whereby_o all_o our_o mis-deed_n be_v pardon_v and_o we_o make_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o for_o a_o token_n and_o faithful_a pledge_n hereof_o in_o 1._o stead_n of_o a_o seal_n he_o have_v leave_v we_o this_o divine_a sacrament_n which_o not_o only_o give_v our_o soul_n assure_a hope_n of_o their_o everlasting_a salvation_n but_o also_o warrant_v unto_o we_o that_o immortality_n of_o our_o flesh_n

for_o whereas_o he_o repose_v not_o that_o trust_n of_o his_o justification_n in_o the_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o receive_v this_o most_o
