plain_a word_n of_o christ_n how_o he_o overthrow_v all_o the_o work_n of_o man_n as_o meritorious_a to_o deserve_v any_o thanks_n from_o god_n he_o say_v playnelye_o to_o all_o the_o world_n aswell_o as_o to_o his_o apostle_n when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o yet_o say_v you_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n and_o deserve_v nothing_o for_o that_o which_o we_o do_v be_v but_o our_o bind_a duty_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n as_o if_o a_o master_n command_v his_o servant_n to_o do_v a_o thing_n and_o the_o servant_n do_v not_o that_o which_o he_o be_v command_v to_o do_v do_v not_o the_o master_n lay_v he_o on_o with_o stripe_n then_o must_v the_o do_v of_o his_o master_n commandment_n be_v not_o only_o for_o obedience_n due_a according_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o servant_n towards_o his_o master_n but_o also_o to_o save_v he_o from_o many_o stripe_n which_o he_o shall_v deserve_v according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n he_o that_o know_v his_o master_n will_v and_o do_v it_o not_o shall_v be_v 47_o beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n now_o not_o that_o the_o servant_n in_o do_v his_o master_n commandment_n shall_v therefore_o deserve_v to_o have_v his_o master_n inheritance_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v maintain_v that_o by_o their_o good_a work_n they_o merit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o so_o stand_v it_o with_o we_o towards_o god_n yea_o much_o more_o for_o no_o earthly_a master_n can_v ever_o do_v for_o his_o servant_n that_o our_o master_n christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o do_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o our_o power_n yet_o be_v we_o still_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o deserve_v nothing_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o behold_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n what_o person_n he_o have_v choose_v by_o who_o to_o make_v this_o similitude_n touch_v this_o matter_n a_o ploughman_n a_o servant_n plough_v or_o serve_v his_o cattle_n which_o kind_n of_o people_n of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n best_a deserve_v their_o hire_n and_o yet_o unprofitable_a servant_n &_o deserve_v nothing_o for_o the_o lord_n say_v do_v he_o thank_v that_o servant_n because_o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v command_v unto_o he_o i_o trow_v not_o here_o be_v a_o question_n demand_v by_o the_o lord_n whether_o thanks_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o a_o servant_n that_o do_v his_o master_n commandment_n the_o lord_n make_v the_o answer_n himself_o say_v i_o trow_v not_o then_o be_v it_o thus_o much_o to_o say_v if_o a_o temporal_a master_n be_v not_o to_o geve_v thank_n unto_o his_o servant_n for_o do_v his_o commandment_n much_o less_o our_o lord_n and_o god_n unto_o who_o no_o temporal_a master_n be_v to_o be_v compare_v be_v to_o geeve_v thanks_n to_o any_o person_n that_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v his_o commandment_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o thanks_n to_o be_v give_v by_o god_n to_o man_n for_o do_v his_o come_v maundement_n which_o man_n in_o duty_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v then_o be_v it_o clear_a that_o man_n do_v not_o merit_n heaven_n by_o his_o good_a work_n nor_o deserve_v thanks_n for_o the_o same_o and_o thus_o have_v the_o lord_n himself_o overthrow_v the_o popish_a error_n of_o merit_a heaven_n by_o work_n do_v after_o grace_n and_o now_o for_o final_a conclusion_n if_o to_o much_o obstinate_a wilfulness_n do_v not_o remain_v within_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o adversary_n &_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o utter_o cast_v they_o of_o as_o reprobate_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o that_o these_o word_n so_o plain_o set_v down_o and_o write_v with_o the_o pen_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n and_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o here_o insert_v must_v needs_o pierce_v their_o flinty_a heart_n and_o mollify_v the_o same_o which_o if_o grace_n be_v allot_v unto_o they_o whereby_o they_o may_v have_v fleshy_a heart_n and_o yield_a spirit_n to_o god_n truth_n it_o can_v not_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o hold_v out_o against_o this_o truth_n but_o will_v yield_v themselves_o unto_o christ_n acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o only_a sufficient_a saviour_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a without_o any_o help_n of_o man_n and_o so_o repose_v their_o whole_a trust_n and_o confidence_n only_o in_o christ_n and_o cast_v off_o their_o good_a work_n as_o not_o meritorious_a and_o think_v that_o if_o they_o can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o great_a perfection_n than_o the_o best_a that_o live_v be_v able_a to_o do_v that_o yet_o they_o shall_v do_v no_o more_o but_o that_o which_o in_o duty_n they_o ought_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v no_o doubt_n but_o as_o the_o lord_n be_v altogether_o merciful_a so_o will_v he_o in_o mercy_n receive_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o into_o his_o fold_n even_o upon_o his_o shoulder_n as_o he_o do_v the_o stray_a sheep_n and_o embrace_v they_o as_o he_o do_v the_o forlorn_a son_n if_o they_o can_v depart_v from_o their_o error_n and_o embrace_v this_o truth_n which_o lead_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o for_o that_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v make_v prayer_n a_o mean_n to_o obtain_v any_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v ask_v of_o he_o by_o faith_n and_o according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o also_o for_o that_o prayer_n may_v be_v make_v for_o such_o as_o we_o know_v not_o but_o may_v yet_o stand_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n whereby_o the_o lord_n may_v draw_v they_o to_o himself_o and_o for_o that_o also_o many_o number_n of_o papist_n have_v willing_o depart_v from_o their_o popish_a religion_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o hope_v that_o a_o great_a number_n of_o they_o by_o prayer_n and_o by_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o such_o good_a book_n as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o acknowledge_v ing_z of_o their_o

and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o guide_v they_o into_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v cast_v off_o their_o heresy_n and_o vain_a popish_a opinion_n
