s._n paul_n say_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v settle_v his_o glory_n in_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v quite_o forsake_v and_o give_v over_o the_o world_n now_o by_o the_o world_n he_o mean_v all_o that_o be_v delightsome_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o when_o man_n think_v neither_o upon_o god_n nor_o upon_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n so_o as_o one_o be_v give_v to_o covetousness_n another_o to_o ambition_n and_o every_o man_n be_v drive_v by_o his_o own_o natural_a sway_n and_o there_o be_v not_o any_o that_o pass_v further_a than_o this_o world_n when_o man_n follow_v their_o own_o swinge_n and_o god_n have_v not_o yet_o touch_v they_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o draw_v they_o too_o he_o sure_o although_o they_o do_v all_o fling_n over_o the_o field_n and_o run_v astray_o yet_o be_v there_o great_a diversity_n in_o their_o affection_n so_o that_o if_o the_o matter_n come_v to_o trial_n one_o draw_v one_o way_n and_o another_o another_o way_n clean_o contrary_a and_o to_o be_v short_a man_n seem_v to_o differ_v quite_o &_o clean_o one_o from_o another_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o alike_o in_o one_o thing_n that_o 〈◊〉_d

here_o that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n but_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v set_v all_o our_o glory_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n know_v that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o cross_n he_o have_v dedicate_v we_o unto_o his_o father_n and_o purchace_v we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n than_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o we_o to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o from_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o it_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o whosoever_o have_v be_v touch_v and_o wound_v to_o the_o quick_a with_o the_o feel_n of_o his_o sin_n will_v so_o pursue_v the_o grace_n that_o have_v be_v give_v he_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v nothing_o with_o he_o and_o in_o good_a sooth_n we_o show_v that_o all_o the_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o god_n offer_v we_o &_o whereunto_o the_o call_v we_o be_v as_o thing_n of_o nothing_o unto_o we_o in_o that_o we_o esteem_v they_o not_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o trumpery_n and_o enticement_n of_o satan_n what_o be_v this_o world_n if_o a_o man_n view_v it_o in_o itself_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o see_v how_o frail_a our_o life_n be_v and_o how_o it_o be_v but_o as_o a_o smoke_n that_o pass_v and_o vanish_v away_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v man_n fry_v still_o in_o their_o

little_a child_n for_o you_o buzie_a your_o head_n about_o moonshine_n in_o the_o water_n and_o about_o pelt_a trifle_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o foolishness_n &_o you_o be_v whole_o wed_v unto_o they_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n when_o i_o offer_v you_o perfect_a happiness_n you_o make_v none_o account_v of_o it_o all_o be_v one_o to_o you_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o be_v so_o cold_a &_o negligent_a now_o a_o day_n in_o receive_v the_o benefit_n which_o god_n offer_v we_o by_o his_o gospel_n be_v for_o that_o the_o world_n have_v get_v the_o possession_n of_o we_o aforehand_o and_o on_o the_o other_o part_n we_o also_o do_v set_v too_o much_o store_n by_o the_o world_n and_o why_o do_v we_o so_o because_o we_o know_v not_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n that_o god_n offer_v us._n therefore_o let_v we_o join_v these_o two_o together_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o we_o be_v crucify_v to_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n to_o

their_o state_n be_v so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v separate_v from_o jesus_n christ_n must_v needs_o be_v scare_v with_o the_o feel_v of_o god_n wrath_n which_o they_o have_v deserve_v when_o they_o

and_o let_v the_o world_n also_o be_v nothing_o unto_o us._n now_o whereas_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o the_o world_n be_v crucify_v to_o he_o &_o he_o to_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o

and_o that_o be_v for_o one_o point_n again_o the_o world_n must_v be_v crucify_v unto_o us._n as_o how_o by_o esteem_v all_o worldly_a thing_n as_o chaff_n and_o corruption_n according_a as_o in_o very_a deed_n there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o they_o which_o be_v not_o corruptible_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o spiritual_a benefit_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v bring_v we_o and_o which_o we_o enjoy_v by_o this_o mean_n for_o in_o very_a deed_n all_o worldly_a thing_n be_v corruptible_a and_o moreover_o what_o else_o be_v all_o the_o thing_n which_o man_n covet_v so_o sore_a and_o so_o vehement_o that_o they_o be_v utter_o entangle_v in_o they_o but_o snare_n

there_o so_o then_o as_o touch_v those_o that_o will_v have_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n keep_v as_o if_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v precise_o bind_v to_o they_o upon_o pain_n of_o deadly_a sin_v as_o they_o term_v it_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o their_o meen_n be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o seruis_fw-la of_o god_n contrary_a too_o his_o will_n and_o meen_a and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o cousiner_n for_o why_o they_o pervert_v the_o natural_a meen_n of_o the_o law_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o school_n point_n another_o be_v that_o they_o teach_v man_n to_o set_v up_o their_o bristle_n &_o to_o glory_n in_o themselves_o &_o that_o be_v a_o abolish_n of_o god_n glory_n for_o we_o can_v challenge_v aught_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a to_o ourselves_o but_o we_o rob_v and_o rend_v away_o that_o which_o belong_v unto_o he_o you_o see_v then_o how_o it_o be_v a_o devilish_a trayterousnesse_n when_o man_n presume_v upon_o their_o own_o power_n as_o though_o they_o have_v any_o spark_n of_o righteousness_n in_o themselves_o and_o besides_o that_o it_o be_v a_o enter_v into_o the_o gulf_n of_o hell_n when_o we_o ween_v to_o get_v

devil_n make_v we_o to_o believe_v wonder_n â–ª_o howbeit_o it_o be_v but_o to_o make_v we_o to_o fall_v into_o destruction_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o s._n paul_n treat_v here_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o justification_n before_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o his_o favour_n because_o it_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o learn_v and_o without_o that_o all_o the_o religion_n or_a devotion_n that_o can_v be_v name_v be_v but_o smoke_n and_o leazing_n and_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o saint_n paul_n enter_v into_o that_o question_n for_o many_o man_n make_v this_o allegation_n â–ª_o how_o now_o the_o case_n concern_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o why_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n as_o you_o will_v say_v fling_v himself_o overthwart_o the_o field_n why_o speak_v he_o of_o righteousness_n of_o man_n salvation_n of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o final_o of_o all_o the_o whole_a law_n now_o on_o the_o one_o part_n it_o behove_v he_o too_o deal_v with_o all_o those_o thing_n â–ª_o as_o for_o example_n when_o we_o in_o these_o day_n teach_v that_o man_n must_v not_o keep_v the_o superstition_n of_o the_o papist_n nor_o any_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v so_o devise_v by_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o debate_v whither_o flesh_n may_v be_v eat_v upon_o friday_n or_o whither_o such_o a_o wake_n vigil_n or_o saint_n even_o be_v too_o be_v keep_v or_o whither_o this_o thing_n or_o that_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o we_o shall_v treat_v general_o whither_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o mortal_a man_n to_o make_v law_n to_o bring_v man_n conscience_n into_o tyrannical_a bondage_n 22_o for_o god_n have_v reserve_v to_o himself_o alone_o the_o authority_n and_o prerogative_n to_o be_v call_v the_o lawmaker_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v usurp_v any_o such_o pre-eminence_n in_o the_o church_n then_o see_v that_o the_o spiritual_a government_n of_o our_o soul_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v out_o of_o god_n pure_a word_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o pope_n nor_o any_o other_o man_n of_o what_o call_v soever_o he_o be_v have_v power_n to_o burden_n we_o with_o any_o law_n or_o aught_o to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v against_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v of_o god_n then_o may_v we_o well_o enter_v into_o that_o general_a discourse_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o be_v alike_o in_o all_o point_n if_o we_o shall_v dispute_v only_o about_o the_o eat_n of_o fish_n or_o flesh_n it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o fond_a disputation_n for_o every_o man_n must_v eat_v according_a as_o be_v for_o his_o health_n or_o as_o he_o can_v get_v and_o therefore_o such_o disputation_n shall_v not_o concern_v the_o health_n of_o man_n soul_n or_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o they_o to_o rest_v their_o conscience_n upon_o but_o when_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n too_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o live_a creature_n to_o advance_v himself_o so_o high_a as_o to_o lay_v law_n upon_o man_n neck_n the_o other_o disputation_n be_v full_o resolve_v and_o dispatch_v again_o when_o as_o man_n say_v that_o in_o babble_a paternoster_n to_o buy_v out_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o gad_v on_o pilgrimage_n to_o get_v there_o the_o thing_n which_o in_o popery_n be_v term_v the_o work_n of_o supererogation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v work_v of_o overplus_n that_o man_n do_v more_o than_o god_n command_v they_o they_o ransom_n themselves_o and_o make_v he_o some_o recompense_n for_o the_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v if_o we_o speak_v simple_o of_o pilgrimage_n and_o go_v not_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o wellspring_n of_o the_o matter_n it_o will_v be_v a_o cold_a and_o slender_a discourse_n but_o if_o we_o declare_v how_o all_o our_o satisfaction_n be_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v purchace_v for_o we_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therewithal_o that_o god_n utter_o mislike_v all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o own_o invention_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v serve_v with_o

he_o regard_v not_o only_o what_o the_o jew_n say_v how_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o forbear_v the_o eat_n of_o swine_n flesh_n and_o to_o keep_v such_o a_o feast_n or_o such_o a_o feast_n and_o all_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o ceremony_n but_o he_o mark_v to_o what_o end_n they_o say_v it_o namely_o how_o they_o go_v about_o too_o show_v that_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n be_v of_o necessity_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v a_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n upon_o man_n conscience_n that_o can_v not_o be_v bear_v again_o he_o see_v how_o the_o liberty_n that_o be_v purchace_v we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v take_v away_o and_o that_o be_v another_o point_n that_o compel_v he_o to_o enter_v into_o that_o discourse_n but_o the_o chief_a point_n that_o he_o treat_v of_o here_o be_v that_o such_o as_o will_v have_v have_v man_n to_o keep_v the_o ceremony_n have_v a_o secret_a meen_n that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o acceptable_a seruis_fw-la unto_o god_n and_o of_o such_o importance_n as_o man_n shall_v purchase_v righteousness_n and_o soulehealth_n by_o it_o and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o it_o be_v a_o meritorious_a thing_n but_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o purchase_v righteousness_n before_o god_n by_o their_o work_n now_o therefore_o we_o see_v for_o what_o cause_n s._n paul_n treat_v general_o of_o our_o justification_n when_o as_o notwithstanding_o his_o adversary_n pretend_v no_o more_o but_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o the_o continue_v thereof_o still_o as_o before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o man_n shall_v still_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o do_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o shadow_n and_o ancient_a figure_n and_o hereby_o we_o see_v also_o what_o a_o folly_n it_o be_v for_o the_o papist_n to_o think_v themselves_o escape_v in_o say_v that_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o but_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o not_o of_o the_o moral_a work_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o first_o founder_n of_o that_o dotage_n for_o the_o devil_n have_v always_o have_v his_o minister_n to_o cousin_n the_o people_n but_o we_o must_v not_o rest_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n special_o of_o such_o as_o have_v neither_o religion_n nor_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o they_o although_o that_o many_o of_o the_o monk_n have_v be_v report_v to_o be_v

to_o answer_v they_o to_o the_o end_n to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o railer_n and_o of_o all_o such_o as_o do_v false_o slander_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o when_o the_o wicked_a sort_n say_v that_o we_o give_v a_o inordinate_a liberty_n to_o all_o such_o as_o seek_v nothing_o but_o to_o do_v lewd_o let_v we_o look_v back_o to_o s._n paul_n who_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o liberty_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o serve_v for_o none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o namely_o through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o aught_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o warn_n to_o all_o such_o as_o imagine_v a_o liberty_n after_o their_o own_o like_n therefore_o let_v they_o understande_v that_o first_o of_o all_o it_o behove_v they_o to_o become_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v we_o then_o eat_v quiet_o without_o make_v any_o 〈…〉_o will_v we_o be_v exempt_v from_o all_o 〈…〉_o which_o do_v now_o a_o day_n vex_v the_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a sort_n in_o the_o papacy_n let_v we_o understande_v what_o jesus_n christ_n be_v and_o let_v we_o be_v thorough_o he_o let_v he_o govern_v we_o and_o let_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n show_v their_o power_n and_o effectualness_n in_o our_o whole_a life_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o bind_v in_o this_o text_n and_o here_o s._n paul_n show_v again_o that_o the_o true_a perfection_n of_o god_n child_n consist_v in_o abace_v themselves_o so_o as_o they_o follow_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o affection_n for_o we_o be_v utter_o corrupt_v then_o can_v we_o not_o be_v but_o rebel_n against_o god_n all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n till_o we_o have_v kill_v all_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n that_o our_o life_n shall_v never_o be_v frame_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n except_o we_o be_v utter_o change_v both_o in_o our_o thought_n and_o in_o our_o affection_n second_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o that_o can_v not_o be_v do_v but_o by_o communicate_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o use_v this_o word_n crucify_a for_o thereby_o he_o declare_v that_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o cast_v off_o from_o he_o and_o not_o knit_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n our_o nature_n will_v always_o bring_v forth_o her_o own_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o naughtiness_n and_o vice_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o first_o of_o all_o freewill_n be_v beat_v down_o second_o it_o be_v show_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o of_o god_n gift_n nor_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o we_o must_v all_o draw_v of_o his_o fullness_n for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n that_o be_v able_a too_o suffice_v us._n and_o if_o we_o seek_v never_o so_o far_o about_o elsewhere_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o drythe_o and_o we_o shall_v continue_v a_o thirst_n still_o and_o if_o we_o think_v too_o fill_v ourselves_o it_o will_v be_v but_o wyndinesse_n and_o misween_a wherewith_o we_o shall_v burst_v and_o yet_o not_o gather_v any_o good_a nourishment_n or_o substance_n now_o heereuppon_o saint_n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o shall_v also_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v a_o more_o easy_a declaration_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o too_o have_v avouch_v that_o we_o can_v not_o be_v set_v free_a but_o by_o crucify_a all_o our_o wicked_a lust_n how_o be_v it_o for_o as_o 〈◊〉_d 〈…〉_o hypocrisy_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o do_v always_o find_v ●●a●ting_v hole_n and_o 〈…〉_o man_n will_v be_v esteem_v as_o a_o angel_n though_o his_o life_n be_v out_o of_o order_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n intend_v for_o a_o confirmation_n too_o add_v this_o say_n ▪_o that_o if_o we_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v therewithal_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o man_n too_o protest_v themselves_o to_o have_v god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o they_o must_v show_v that_o he_o be_v there_o for_o he_o be_v not_o idle_a therefore_o if_o a_o man_n will_v discern_v whether_o god_n spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o or_o no_o he_o must_v come_v to_o our_o work_n and_o to_o our_o life_n and_o according_a as_o our_o conversation_n be_v so_o may_v he_o see_v what_o we_o be_v and_o what_o be_v within_o we_o and_o give_v judgement_n by_o our_o outward_a work_n that_o be_v apparent_a as_o for_o example_n if_o one_o will_v bear_v i_o in_o hand_n that_o a_o block_n be_v a_o live_a a_o man_n too_o see_v too_o it_o stir_v neither_o head_n nor_o foot_n thrust_v at_o it_o and_o shove_v at_o it_o and_o yet_o there_o appear_v no_o life_n in_o it_o and_o shall_v he_o then_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o piece_n of_o stone_n remove_v from_o place_n too_o place_n or_o have_v any_o power_n in_o it_o or_o be_v a_o creature_n that_o have_v a_o soul_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o those_o that_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v spiritual_a for_o although_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o enemy_n of_o god_n be_v alive_a as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o be_v they_o dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n because_o their_o soul_n be_v utter_o corrupt_v but_o we_o live_v to_o godward_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o if_o this_o grace_n be_v in_o we_o it_o can_v not_o be_v idle_a as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o our_o conversation_n will_v show_v whether_o we_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o no._n the_o word_n walk_n be_v very_o rife_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o our_o life_n be_v mention_v nevertheless_o here_o be_v not_o only_o walk_v the_o word_n that_o s._n paul_n use_v import_v more_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n too_o walk_v orderly_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o we_o must_v frame_v ourselves_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v conformable_a too_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o our_o life_n must_v be_v so_o well_o rule_v as_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o god_n govern_v we_o in_o deed_n and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hold_v we_o too_o himself_o as_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o that_o he_o have_v true_o witness_v that_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o at_o a_o word_n this_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v know_v now_o to_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n mean_v here_o to_o bewray_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o all_o such_o as_o make_v fair_a protestation_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o will_v have_v man_n to_o believe_v wondrous_a well_o of_o their_o zeal_n and_o yet_o in_o all_o their_o whole_a life_n do_v show_v 〈…〉_o at_o all_o too_o
