the_o welfare_n and_o benefit_n of_o man_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v very_o good_a and_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a those_o be_v always_o best_o which_o may_v redound_v to_o the_o commodity_n of_o most_o person_n and_o which_o be_v once_o possess_v can_v be_v take_v away_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o possess_a see_v then_o that_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o work_n be_v

before_o any_o one_o jot_n of_o his_o say_n take_v not_o effect_v in_o asmuch_o as_o this_o book_n contain_v not_o worldly_a uncertain_a and_o perish_a but_o heavenly_a assure_v and_o everlasting_a

to_o be_v edify_v and_o strengthen_v in_o christ_n which_o thing_n will_v appear_v yet_o more_o plain_o if_o beside_o these_o generality_n which_o it_o have_v common_a with_o all_o the_o residue_n of_o holy_a scripture_n we_o consider_v the_o work_n more_o peculiarly_a and_o near_o in_o itself_o which_o consist_v of_o twoo_o part_n too_o wit_n of_o text_n and_o of_o exposition_n of_o the_o

effect_n of_o the_o la_o and_o concern_v the_o pure_a conversation_n of_o christian_n life_n for_o the_o order_n which_o the_o writer_n of_o holy_a scripture_n observe_v well_o near_o in_o all_o their_o preach_n and_o exhortation_n be_v first_o to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o faith_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o afterward_o to_o build_v up_o the_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o

receyve_v we_o if_o we_o come_v to_o the_o gospel_n at_o leastwize_n if_o we_o come_v in_o such_o wise_n as_o our_o hope_n be_v ground_v not_o upon_o our_o own_o selfween_n or_o imagination_n but_o upon_o god_n promise_n &_o for_o that_o we_o can_v be_v disappoint_v in_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o hold_v ourselves_o assure_v of_o his_o word_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o it_o be_v too_o be_v faithful_a for_o we_o must_v always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o disputation_n that_o s._n paul_n undertake_v he_o strive_v against_o such_o as_o pretend_v too_o purchase_v rightuousnesse_n before_o god_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o say_n too_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n without_o consider_v what_o matter_n s._n paul_n treat_v of_o here_o that_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v but_o dark_a but_o when_o we_o see_v how_o s._n paul_n declare_v express_o that_o all_o such_o as_o go_v about_o too_o purchase_v favour_n at_o god_n hand_n by_o their_o own_o deserving_n be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o that_o their_o presumptuousnesse_n shet_v the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n against_o they_o and_o that_o god_n vouchsafe_v not_o to_o hear_v they_o because_o they_o defraud_v he_o of_o his_o due_a honour_n and_o will_v fain_v as_o it_o be_v deck_v themselves_o with_o his_o feather_n and_o that_o they_o be_v traitor_n in_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o rightuousnesse_n for_o asmuch_o as_o s._n paul_n handle_v that_o point_n there_o be_v now_o no_o doubt_n but_o he_o take_v all_o those_o too_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n which_o distrust_v themselves_o and_o be_v utter_o out_o of_o all_o hope_n in_o themselves_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v return_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n rest_v leaning_n and_o trust_v whole_o unto_o he_o those_o therefore_o be_v the_o true_a child_n of_o abraham_n but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o few_o christian_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o word_n christian_n run_v roundly_o in_o every_o man_n mouth_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o be_v foul_o defile_v and_o god_n must_v needs_o disclaim_v all_o such_o as_o pretend_v after_o that_o fashion_n too_o be_v he_o like_v as_o in_o the_o popedom_n every_o man_n ground_v himself_o upon_o his_o baptism_n or_o christendom_n and_o sure_o in_o baptism_n we_o have_v on_o god_n behalf_n a_o infallible_a pledge_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o what_o for_o that_o they_o take_v but_o the_o visible_a sign_n and_o separate_v it_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o papist_n know_v nought_o at_o all_o of_o that_o which_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o by_o s._n paul_n but_o which_o worse_o be_v they_o have_v their_o freewill_n their_o merit_n and_o their_o satisfaction_n in_o steed_n of_o god_n seruis_fw-la which_o they_o thrust_v under_o foot_n and_o falsify_v they_o have_v gewgaw_n yea_o and_o abomination_n of_o the_o devil_n own_o forge_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v sufficient_o convict_v too_o have_v no_o christianity_n in_o they_o and_o for_o our_o part_n although_o we_o have_v not_o the_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n that_o reign_n among_o the_o papist_n yet_o be_v we_o not_o so_o ground_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o every_o of_o we_o can_v offer_v himself_o frank_o unto_o god_n and_o full_o and_o free_o call_v upon_o he_o quiet_o suffer_v he_o too_o guide_v we_o but_o we_o shall_v see_v many_o that_o be_v but_o wretched_a beast_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o will_v well_o enough_o protest_v themselves_o too_o hold_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o pope_n abuse_n and_o superstition_n but_o if_o a_o man_n talk_v too_o they_o of_o the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o wot_v not_o what_o thing_n it_o be_v othersome_a which_o ween_v themselves_o too_o be_v great_a clerk_n when_o it_o come_v too_o the_o trial_n do_v show_v that_o all_o be_v but_o a_o countenance_n and_o that_o they_o do_v but_o prate_v like_o pie_n in_o a_o cage_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o behoove_v we_o too_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n how_o saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o here_o that_o we_o can_v be_v abraham_n child_n nor_o member_n of_o the_o church_n except_o we_o come_v thither_o with_o belief_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o as_o every_o of_o we_o renounce_v his_o foreconceyve_v opinion_n of_o his_o own_o merit_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o damn_v and_o drown_v in_o despair_n and_o thereupon_o resort_v too_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o too_o the_o mercy_n which_o he_o offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o we_o fall_v too_o dip_v of_o ourselves_o in_o the_o blood_n which_o he_o have_v shed_v too_o clenze_fw-mi we_o withal_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o there_o all_o our_o dette_n be_v release_v and_o god_n wrath_n and_o vengeance_n so_o appeaze_v as_o we_o can_v fail_v but_o too_o find_v he_o favourable_a howbeit_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n hereof_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o after_o what_o manner_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o have_v the_o definition_n of_o this_o word_n faith_n for_o without_o that_o all_o this_o doctrine_n will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o whereas_o the_o papist_n strive_v against_o we_o they_o know_v neither_o why_o nor_o wherefore_o they_o do_v it_o nor_o whereat_o they_o bend_v themselves_o but_o rush_v forth_o overth_n wart_n awry_o and_o at_o all_o adventure_n for_o they_o never_o wist_v what_o faith_n mean_v &_o that_o do_v they_o show_v well_o enough_o i_o meene_z even_o the_o great_a doctor_n of_o they_o for_o all_o that_o they_o will_v say_v be_v that_o faith_n be_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o if_o they_o believe_v in_o god_n so_o do_v the_o devil_n too_o but_o when_o as_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o faith_n he_o meen_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v but_o only_o some_o guess_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n which_o reign_v in_o heaven_n but_o that_o we_o must_v take_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n assure_v ourselves_o thorough_o of_o it_o by_o the_o promise_n which_o he_o give_v we_o and_o so_o link_v ourselves_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o all_o that_o ever_o he_o have_v be_v proper_a and_o belong_v to_o we_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n but_o when_o the_o papist_n talk_v of_o faith_n they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o confuzed_a thing_n and_o that_o it_o serve_v not_o to_o make_v we_o good_a man_n so_o as_o we_o may_v be_v save_v by_o it_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o papist_n go_v brutish_o to_o work_v as_o folk_n utter_o dull_v by_o satan_n and_o it_o be_v a_o just_a punishment_n of_o god_n upon_o their_o pride_n because_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o humble_a themselves_o by_o confess_v themselves_o to_o owe_v all_o unto_o god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o worthy_a to_o be_v accept_v at_o his_o hand_n but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o receyve_v the_o mere_a grace_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n we_o must_v take_v the_o word_n faith_n but_o here_o be_v yet_o one_o point_n more_o which_o serve_v great_o too_o that_o purpose_n which_o be_v too_o know_v after_o what_o manner_n abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o conclusion_n if_o abraham_n have_v believe_v no_o more_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o heaven_n that_o will_v not_o have_v serve_v too_o have_v justify_v he_o for_o the_o heathenfolke_n believe_v as_o much_o again_o if_o abraham_n have_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v judge_v of_o the_o world_n that_o will_v not_o have_v serve_v his_o turn_n neither_o but_o when_o as_o god_n say_v untoo_o he_o 7._o i_o be_o thy_o plentiful_a reward_n and_o i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o and_o moreover_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bliss_v in_o thou_o by_o accept_v such_o promise_n wherein_o god_n acquaint_v himself_o with_o he_o and_o witness_v too_o he_o that_o he_o take_v he_o for_o one_o of_o his_o household_n and_o as_o his_o own_o child_n and_o become_v his_o father_n abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o accept_v that_o promise_n and_o why_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n offer_v he_o his_o goodness_n and_o grace_n he_o believe_v the_o word_n and_o receyve_v it_o and_o then_o be_v he_o full_a sure_a of_o his_o salvation_n now_o may_v we_o much_o better_a judge_n what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o confuse_a opinion_n of_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n but_o a_o hold_n of_o he_o for_o our_o father_n and_o saviour_n and_o that_o because_o
faith_n which_o we_o hold_v by_o his_o teach_n and_o although_o there_o be_v not_o nowadays_o any_o such_o shameless_a person_n that_o labour_v to_o deface_v he_o or_o to_o abolish_v the_o authority_n
