behold_v god_n have_v provide_v for_o our_o infirmity_n in_o that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o too_o make_v to_o long_a wyndlass_n too_o be_v teach_v his_o word_n faithful_o for_o he_o make_v the_o wellspring_n too_o come_v home_o too_o we_o which_o be_v hide_v and_o far_o of_o from_o we_o i_o say_v he_o make_v it_o to_o come_v home_o too_o we_o as_o it_o be_v by_o cundite_n so_o as_o we_o need_v do_v no_o more_o but_o open_a our_o mouth_n too_o receive_v it_o like_a as_o when_o there_o be_v fair_a cundite_n that_o run_v with_o continual_a water_n abundant_o man_n will_v come_v too_o draw_v at_o they_o for_o their_o need_n so_o be_v it_o our_o lord_n will_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o ordain_v of_o man_n too_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o hold_v we_o too_o it_o and_o if_o we_o will_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n let_v we_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v preach_v to_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n this_o say_v i_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n too_o the_o intent_n we_o be_v not_o so_o foolish_a as_o too_o say_v why_o have_v not_o god_n give_v i_o such_o grace_n or_o gift_n why_o be_v it_o his_o will_n too_o use_v such_o mean_a let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o this_o namely_o that_o his_o ordinance_n ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o and_o that_o if_o we_o will_v needs_o fall_v too_o reason_v of_o the_o matter_n we_o shall_v ever_o be_v put_v too_o shame_n because_o there_o be_v be_v no_o wisdom_n but_o only_o his_o good_a will._n also_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o which_o be_v say_v immediate_o in_o this_o text_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v order_n of_o ministry_n or_o service_n as_o if_o it_o be_v say_v god_n can_v well_o bring_v we_o too_o perfection_n by_o himself_o without_o any_o other_o mean_a or_o help_v howbeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o will_v be_v serve_v by_o man_n and_o he_o apply_v they_o too_o such_o use_n as_o he_o make_v they_o minister_n so_o as_o man_n perceive_v that_o the_o praise_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v always_o due_a to_o he_o &_o that_o all_o goodness_n come_v of_o he_o it_o behove_v man_n to_o submit_v themselves_o thereto_o but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v think_v strange_a why_o saint_n paul_n in_o stead_n of_o speak_v of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bring_v we_o unto_o office_n for_o he_o begin_v with_o this_o matter_n namely_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n give_v gift_n according_a too_o the_o measure_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v fit_a for_o we_o and_o that_o in_o divers_a manner_n by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o fill_v all_o thing_n now_o to_o confirm_v this_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v apostle_n shepherdess_n teacher_n and_o evangelist_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o s._n paul_n do_v not_o well_o continue_v ●he_z process_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o he_o treat_v of_o but_o here_o we_o have_v too_o note_n as_o we_o see_v also_o more_o large_o in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o corinthian_n 2._o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v establish_v the_o order_n that_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o already_o and_o continue_v the_o same_o still_o in_o his_o church_n so_o as_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v shepherdess_n prophet_n and_o thecher_n he_o do_v also_o furnish_v they_o out_o of_o hand_n with_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o execute_n of_o their_o office_n for_o he_o deal_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n we_o for_o our_o part_n may_v choose_v one_o man_n to_o be_v in_o office_n of_o magistrate_n and_o another_o too_o be_v a_o preacher_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o can_v give_v they_o that_o which_o be_v requisite_a for_o they_o for_o we_o can_v make_v a_o new_a man_n of_o he_o that_o be_v advance_v too_o honour_n but_o he_o must_v abide_v still_o the_o same_o that_o he_o be_v for_o all_o we_o also_o when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o election_n every_o man_n give_v his_o voice_n very_a well_o he_o that_o be_v choose_v shall_v be_v officer_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n he_o shall_v continue_v still_o the_o same_o he_o be_v before_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o shepherdess_n we_o may_v well_o choose_v a_o man_n and_o he_o shall_v perchance_o prove_v a_o beast_n for_o we_o can_v cause_v he_o too_o be_v qualify_v as_o he_o ought_v too_o be_v but_o when_o man_n be_v of_o god_n own_o choose_v so_o as_o he_o bear_v the_o whole_a sway_n then_o be_v the_o gift_n join_v inseparable_o with_o their_o charge_n 18._o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n choose_v his_o apostle_n he_o choose_v silly_a fisherman_n &_o such_o as_o be_v unlearned_a &_o yet_o do_v he_o serve_v his_o turn_n with_o they_o for_o the_o publish_n he_o of_o gospel_n howbeit_o not_o too_o teach_v as_o yet_o but_o too_o go_v abroad_o as_o his_o herawlte_n too_o give_v warning_n that_o the_o king_n be_v come_v but_o when_o he_o intend_v too_o send_v they_o forth_o too_o their_o office_n for_o ado_n he_o send_v they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 4._o show_v thereby_o as_o be_v say_v in_o many_o other_o text_n that_o all_o thing_n requisite_a for_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o church_n must_v needs_o come_v of_o his_o free_a gift_n because_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n proceed_v of_o he_o too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o praise_n shall_v be_v give_v unto_o he_o then_o be_v it_o no_o marvel_n that_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o diversity_n of_o gift_n and_o of_o the_o measure_n that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n too_o deal_v too_o every_o man_n do_v send_v we_o purposely_o too_o the_o office_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o god_n distribute_v not_o his_o gift_n in_o alike_o too_o all_o for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v all_o man_n shepherdess_n or_o prophet_n or_o teacher_n or_o apostle_n or_o evangelist_n but_o he_o call_v who_o he_o think_v good_a and_o therein_o try_v our_o humility_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v willing_a too_o be_v subject_a too_o he_o let_v we_o not_o stick_v to_o take_v all_o authority_n in_o good_a worth_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o he_o and_o upon_o his_o ordinance_n now_o it_o be_v so_o god_n let_v many_o man_n alone_o in_o priute_v state_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n choose_v who_o he_o think_v good_a too_o preach_v his_o word_n therefore_o man_n must_v hold_v they_o there_o furthermore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o man_n proceed_v too_o their_o election_n with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o seek_v too_o obey_v he_o sure_o he_o also_o will_v show_v by_o effect_n that_o they_o who_o he_o have_v call_v too_o teach_v and_o to_o who_o the_o charge_n of_o rule_v the_o flock_n be_v commit_v shall_v not_o be_v destitute_a of_o his_o power_n but_o that_o he_o will_v furnish_v they_o with_o all_o thing_n requisite_a as_o experie●nce_n show_v well_o enough_o and_o it_o be_v witness_v unto_o we_o that_o if_o we_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 20._o so_o it_o be_v true_o and_o unfeigned_o he_o will_v be_v in_o the_o mid_n of_o we_o thus_o you_o se●_z what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v that_o the_o papacy_n have_v so_o contrive_v man_n and_o frame_v they_o too_o their_o own_o lure_n as_o they_o be_v utter_o go_v away_o from_o the_o order_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o the_o manner_n of_o govern_v the_o church_n which_o be_v know_v of_o the_o apostle_n let_v we_o look_v back_o again_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n treat_v of_o here_o his_o meaning_n be_v too_o bring_v we_o too_o the_o unity_n afore_o mention_v therefore_o he_o will_v have_v we_o too_o be_v of_o one_o accord_n too_o link_v together_o like_o brethren_n and_o too_o shoot_v all_o at_o one_o mark_n as_o have_v but_o one_o head_n which_o knit_v we_o all_o together_o so_o as_o there_o be_v neither_o envy_n nor_o ill_a will_n nor_o sect_n nor_o aught_o else_o that_o may_v divide_v we_o now_o too_o bring_v we_o heruntoo_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o one_o lord_n too_o who_o all_o sovereintie_a be_v give_v 5._o and_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o baptism_n and_o one_o faith_n and_o that_o we_o be_v call_v all_o too_o one_o inheritance_n after_o the_o say_n of_o this_o he_o add_v that_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o better_a ratify_v of_o that_o unity_n will_v that_o one_o man_n alone_o shall_v teach_v the_o rest_n &_o that_o the_o company_n shall_v
in_o honour_n and_o the_o mouth_n be_v more_o than_o the_o leg_n mark_v it_o then_o for_o one_o point_n that_o there_o be_v such_o diversity_n that_o our_o lord_n exalt_v and_o honour_v who_o he_o list_v more_o than_o other_o there_o be_v both_o great_a and_o small_a in_o the_o church_n and_o all_o must_v not_o be_v teacher_n and_o prophet_n but_o yet_o this_o diversity_n let_v not_o but_o that_o every_o member_n have_v his_o desire_n and_o that_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o it_o so_o as_o the_o foot_n envy_v not_o the_o hand_n nor_o the_o hand_n the_o foot_n no_o more_o than_o any_o of_o they_o both_o envy_v the_o eye_n too_o what_o purpose_n shall_v it_o serve_v the_o hand_n too_o have_v sight_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o not_o only_a can_v do_v it_o no_o good_a but_o also_o shall_v do_v it_o harm_n if_o every_o member_n have_v all_o office_n in_o itself_o sure_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v confound_v and_o come_v to_o nought_o so_o then_o the_o hand_n have_v his_o perfection_n in_o that_o which_o belong_v unto_o he_o i_o mean_v in_o his_o degree_n and_o likewise_o the_o foot_n howbeit_o s._n paul_n meaning_n be_v that_o it_o ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o that_o the_o church_n be_v edify_v in_o common_a ▪_o for_o if_o our_o neighbour_n be_v enrich_v with_o god_n gift_n the_o same_o redound_v partly_o unto_o we_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o have_v receive_v a_o large_a measure_n of_o grace_n we_o be_v the_o more_o bind_v too_o impart_v the_o same_o too_o such_o as_o have_v need_n of_o it_o that_o therefore_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o set_v down_o in_o this_o text_n say_v that_o if_o the_o knit_v be_v after_o that_o manner_n the_o body_n shall_v be_v well_o build_v and_o make_v up_o and_o here_o we_o see_v how_o he_o continue_v his_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o we_o must_v be_v so_o link_v together_o according_a too_o the_o doctri●e_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o jesus_n christ_n may_v reign_v over_o we_o and_o we_o know_v that_o the_o heavenly_a father_n have_v give_v we_o he_o with_o condition_n that_o we_o shall_v all_o link_v together_o under_o he_o and_o maintain_v a_o brotherly_a unity_n among_o we_o but_o yet_o afore_o all_o thing_n we_o must_v be_v subject_a too_o he_o that_o have_v all_o sovereign_a dominion_n and_o consider_v that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o the_o heavenly_a father_n have_v set_v he_o in_o that_o degree_n we_o must_v all_o am_z at_o he_o and_o continue_v in_o his_o obedience_n unto_o the_o end_n and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o that_o can_v be_v do_v without_o love_n that_o be_v too_o say_v unless_o every_o of_o we_o rid_v himself_o of_o the_o curse_a affection_n of_o seek_v too_o much_o our_o own_o profit_n for_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v easy_a too_o perceive_v that_o that_o affection_n do_v so_o blind_v we_o that_o it_o make_v we_o too_o despise_v our_o neighbour_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o behoove_v every_o of_o we_o too_o endeavour_n too_o give_v over_o his_o own_o right_a and_o too_o know_v that_o god_n have_v not_o so_o distribute_v his_o gift_n that_o every_o man_n may_v be_v a_o world_n or_o a_o church_n of_o himself_o but_o that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o every_o man_n have_v need_n of_o his_o neighbour_n the_o same_o be_v the_o very_o mean_v whereby_o he_o will_v hold_v we_o together_o and_o that_o ought_v also_o too_o provoke_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o do_v what_o we_o can_v one_o for_o another_o although_o then_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o fountain_n from_o whence_o we_o draw_v all_o spiritual_a gift_n namely_o even_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n make_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v put_v in_o jesus_n christ_n too_o flow_v forth_o as_o it_o be_v by_o channel_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v every_o man_n his_o portion_n as_o be_v expedient_a for_o we_o and_o so_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v here_o now_o be_v this_o doctrine_n well_o put_v in_o ure_n sure_o all_o the_o trouble_n that_o be_v now_o adays_o in_o the_o world_n will_v soon_o be_v appease_v and_o there_o will_v no_o more_o be_v so_o many_o bicker_n and_o dispute_n but_o we_o shall_v easy_o agree_v all_o together_o for_o ambition_n or_o uaynglorye_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o heresy_n for_o when_o man_n will_v needs_o exalt_v themselves_o they_o must_v needs_o thereby_o thrust_v down_o christ_n if_o they_o can_v again_o whence_o spring_n superstition_n but_o of_o this_o that_o man_n know_v not_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n that_o be_v bring_v we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v daily_o offer_v unto_o we_o in_o he_o by_o the_o gospel_n this_o have_v make_v the_o world_n always_o wanton_a and_o wander_a after_o his_o own_o lust_n this_o have_v make_v man_n too_o forge_v so_o many_o patron_n and_o advocate_n this_o have_v make_v man_n too_o advance_v their_o own_o deserve_n this_o have_v make_v folk_n too_o devise_v so_o many_o satisfaction_n so_o many_o mean_n wherewith_o too_o please_v god_n and_o so_o many_o new_a service_n namely_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o content_v with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o for_o want_v of_o know_v what_o manner_n a_o one_o he_o be_v and_o that_o when_o we_o once_o have_v he_o he_o ought_v too_o suffice_v we_o and_o we_o too_o hold_v ourselves_o too_o he_o because_o the_o father_n have_v so_o glorify_v he_o as_o we_o ought_v of_o duty_n too_o do_v he_o homage_n and_o too_o honour_v he_o as_o our_o sovereign_n king_n for_o asmuch_o then_n as_o we_o see_v the_o wretched_a unbeliever_n to_o be_v scatter_v here_o &_o there_o by_o reason_n that_o they_o turn_v away_o from_o jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n to_o be_v warn_v to_o hold_v we_o simple_o to_o his_o obedience_n &_o to_o know_v that_o all_o our_o welfare_n come_v of_o he_o &_o therefore_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o return_v to_o he_o to_o yield_v he_o his_o due_a honour_n &_o therewithal_o put_v our_o whole_a trust_n in_o he_o &_o that_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v so_o do_v we_o must_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o ●●lth_n in_o we_o &_o that_o we_o hold_v our_o spiritual_a life_n of_o he_o &_o that_o not_o for_o once_o &_o away_o but_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o work_v continual_o in_o we_o

cause_n be_v the_o holy_a supper_n leave_v we_o as_o a_o remembrance_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o in_o who_o we_o must_v whole_o seek_v all_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o life_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o there_o we_o profess_v that_o he_o be_v our_o nourishment_n even_o to_o satisfy_v we_o to_o the_o full_a and_o therefore_o the_o cause_n why_o we_o come_v thither_o to_o eat_v &_o drink_v be_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o we_o have●●_n jesus_n christ_n not_o the_o half_a of_o our_o life_n only_o but_o the_o whole_a of_o it_o &_o that_o when_o we_o be_v feed_v with_o he_o we_o must_v content_v ourselves_o with_o he_o &_o not_o seek_v one_o drop_n nor_o mite_n as_o they_o say_v elsewhere_o after_o this_o manner_n than_o must_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a

and_o how_o we_o may_v keep_v our_o way_n thither_o even_o till_o we_o be_v perfect_o knit_v unto_o he_o namely_o by_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v we_o and_o that_o in_o he_o we_o

christ_n which_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o faith_n but_o yet_o can_v we_o not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n except_o god_n draw_v we_o thereto_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o we_o see_v that_o he_o deal_v not_o alike_o with_o all_o man_n for_o he_o can_v very_o well_o inlyghten_v all_o the_o world_n and_o bring_v too_o pass_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o unbeliever_n at_o all_o but_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_n therefore_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o be_v choose_v who_o he_o list_v for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v ask_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v it_o it_o be_v too_o lofty_a a_o presumptuousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o make_v so_o many_o overween_a folk_n too_o break_v their_o own_o neck_n for_o that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o grant_v that_o god_n govern_v man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o will_n as_o of_o good_a right_a he_o may_v full_o well_o furthermore_o also_o s._n paul_n have_v heretofore_o set_v the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n both_o on_o one_o even_o ground_n and_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o require_v yet_o long_o discourse_n for_o sing_v that_o god_n have_v choose_v abraham_n offspring_n it_o may_v have_v be_v think_v that_o there_o have_v be_v some_o worthiness_n in_o they_o sure_o if_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n too_o the_o special_a favour_n that_o god_n show_v too_o the_o jew_n they_o be_v well_o worthy_a too_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n but_o if_o a_o man_n take_v they_o as_o they_o be_v of_o themselves_o he_o shall_v find_v they_o void_a of_o all_o righteousness_n for_o we_o must_v always_o come_v back_o too_o this_o point_n that_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v nor_o behold_v too_o any_o man_n at_o all_o and_o his_o receive_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o free_a adoption_n be_v not_o for_o that_o they_o be_v better_a worth_n than_o other_o man_n or_o for_o that_o they_o may_v make_v any_o manner_n of_o vaunt_n at_o all_o of_o themselves_o therefore_o you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n say_v express_o that_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o time_n past_a be_v comprehend_v under_o god_n election_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o &_o that_o the_o other_o can_v boast_v themselves_o too_o be_v more_o worthy_a or_o too_o have_v deserve_v more_o than_o they_o but_o that_o all_o must_v come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o as_o well_o of_o the_o jew_n as_o of_o the_o gentile_n god_n choze_n who_o he_o like_v and_o list_v too_o the_o end_n that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v consider_v in_o that_o behalf_n but_o his_o only_a mercy_n and_o that_o all_o mouth_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o no_o man_n be_v able_a too_o allege_v that_o be_v bring_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o howbeit_o when_o s._n paul_n enter_v into_o this_o comparison_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n he_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o eye_n too_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o jew_n for_o his_o own_o peculiar_a heritage_n they_o be_v a_o holy_a

forsake_v and_o shake_v of_o but_o if_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n unto_o god_n all_o man_n glory_n must_v needs_o be_v lay_v awater_o but_o s._n paul_n in_o that_o place_n speak_v alone_o of_o the_o forgive_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o our_o embrace_n of_o god_n grace_n by_o faith_n which_o thing_n he_o show_v can_v be_v father_v upon_o any_o other_o cause_n than_o only_a god_n pity_v of_o we_o also_o we_o have_v ●eene_v heretofore_o in_o the_o epistle_n too_o the_o galatian_n 15._o how_o s._n paul_n ●ayd_v unto_o peter_n we_o be_v jew_n by_o nature_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v a_o common_a opinion_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o holy_a lineage_n because_o they_o be_v descend_v of_o abraham_n race_n very_o well_o say_v he_o howsoever_o ●he_z case_n stand_v we_o have_v none_o other_o refuge_n nor_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n but_o too_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o wist_v well_o that_o man_n be_v utter_o fordo_v and_o lose_v in_o themselves_o because_o they_o bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n therefore_o like_v as_o in_o those_o text_n s._n paul_n have_v show_v that_o man_n beguile_v themselves_o if_o they_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v any_o desert_n or_o worthiness_n in_o they_o so_o now_o for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o too_o take_v away_o all_o dispute_v and_o too_o beat_v back_o all_o replying_n he_o bring_v we_o too_o this_o wellspring_n namely_o that_o god_n not_o only_o give_v faith_n too_o who_o he_o list_v but_o also_o have_v elect_v and_o choose_v we_o before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o effect_n be_v that_o all_o man_n from_o the_o most_o too_o the_o least_o be_v endanger_v unto_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o so_o holy_a or_o excellent_a that_o can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o that_o general_a state_n of_o man_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n magnify_v god_n goodness_n in_o that_o the_o ephesian_n be_v gather_v together_o and_o make_v all_o one_o with_o those_o that_o be_v hold_v and_o account_v afore_o for_o god_n people_n and_o for_o the_o household_n folk_n of_o his_o church_n before_o the_o ephesian_n believe_v the_o gospel_n there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o they_o as_o shall_v be_v declare_v yet_o more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o second_o chapter_n but_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o believe_a jew_n which_o have_v already_o be_v convert_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o brethren_n too_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n for_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v member_n of_o the_o head_n that_o be_v common_a too_o they_o both_o whereas_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o ephesian_n be_v poor_a wretch_n shut_v out_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n enemy_n of_o god_n and_o plunge_v in_o all_o cursedness_n behold_v god_n take_v away_o that_o diversity_n and_o raundged_a they_o both_o in_o one_o array_n god_n goodness_n therefore_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o manifest_a in_o that_o he_o do_v so_o 〈◊〉_d they_o back_o which_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n to_o match_v they_o with_o his_o

in_o jesus_n christ_n afore_o tell_v we_o express_o that_o god_n have_v gather_v and_o establish_v his_o church_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o it_o well_o appear_v that_o the_o great_a depend_v whole_o

have_v inquire_v of_o it_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a sure_o they_o must_v needs_o quail_v in_o their_o own_o imagination_n if_o they_o mind_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o say_v everlasting_a
