be_v that_o they_o shall_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n under_o invocation_n or_o call_n upon_o he_o contain_v faith_n also_o for_o say_v paul_n 1●_n rom._n 1●_n how_o shall_v they_o call_v upon_o he_o who_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v notwithstanding_o he_o have_v rather_o use_v the_o term_n of_o call_v upon_o then_o of_o faith_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o his_o meaning_n be_v of_o that_o faith_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o vain_a and_o dead_a opinion_n but_o of_o that_o that_o utter_v itself_o by_o open_a confession_n &_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v the_o prophet_n manner_n of_o speak_v that_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v rather_o say_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n namely_o that_o he_o may_v put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o invocation_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v indeed_o and_o they_o that_o be_v but_o hypocrite_n and_o profane_a gentile_n for_o all_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o boast_v of_o their_o call_n upon_o god_n when_o as_o by_o common_a reason_n they_o be_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o govern_v all_o the_o world_n and_o that_o we_o owe_v unto_o he_o worship_n and_o invocation_n yet_o notwithstanding_o not_o all_o do_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v they_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v such_o as_o the_o scripture_n declare_v he_o to_o be_v and_o as_o he_o have_v make_v himself_o manifest_a in_o his_o son_n but_o they_o devise_v god_n unto_o themselves_o of_o their_o own_o brain_n which_o indeed_o be_v no_o go_n but_o the_o godly_a be_v teach_v by_o the_o scripture_n do_v call_v upon_o the_o true_a god_n even_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o only_o may_v be_v count_v for_o the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n the_o second_o duty_n be_v that_o they_o serve_v he_o with_o one_o shoulder_n this_o may_v be_v understand_v two_o way_n first_o thus_o that_o they_o be_v without_o hypocrisy_n do_v worship_n the_o only_a one_o true_a god_n and_o halt_v not_o on_o both_o side_n as_o elyas_n speak_v of_o the_o israelite_n 18._o 1._o reg._n 18._o the_o german_a phrase_n of_o speak_v be_v

thus_o to_o wit_n here_o be_v note_v a_o agreement_n because_o they_o be_v not_o divide_v into_o diverse_a sect_n and_o opinion_n whereby_o they_o may_v overthrow_v the_o faith_n of_o many_o but_o rather_o join_v their_o study_n and_o labour_n in_o one_o that_o true_a religion_n may_v come_v unto_o many_o the_o third_o be_v they_o humble_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o offer_v he_o a_o gift_n namely_o that_o that_o he_o require_v and_o that_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o but_o man_n owe_v themselves_o whole_o unto_o god_n they_o give_v themselves_o therefore_o whole_o unto_o he_o by_o
