the_o scripture_n in_o some_o respect_n all_o thing_n be_v easy_a they_o be_v hard_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o they_o can_v be_v assent_v to_o till_o god_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o our_o heart_n as_o he_o do_v to_o his_o disciple_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v set_v down_o in_o term_n plain_a enough_o so_o we_o use_v diligence_n to_o understand_v they_o i_o say_v all_o thing_n all_o the_o mystery_n of_o religion_n without_o as_o they_o call_v it_o any_o mental_a reservation_n yet_o so_o besot_v be_v they_o with_o this_o foolish_a device_n of_o they_o as_o that_o they_o stumble_v even_o at_o the_o plain_a scripture_n s._n matthew_n report_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n come_v to_o judgement_n he_o shall_v say_v to_o the_o reprobate_n nescio_fw-la vos_fw-la i_o know_v you_o not_o and_o here_o say_v the_o friar_n christ_n use_v a_o mental_a reservation_n wherein_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v more_o ridiculous_a or_o impious_a for_o christ_n there_o allude_v to_o a_o usual_a form_n of_o speech_n among_o the_o jew_n who_o when_o they_o mislike_v a_o man_n give_v he_o a_o nescio_fw-la that_o be_v i_o know_v you_o not_o which_o form_n of_o speech_n be_v use_v at_o

significant_o have_v express_v his_o mind_n or_o purpose_n of_o reject_v they_o then_o in_o say_v nescio_fw-la vos_fw-la so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o equivocation_n or_o mental_a reservation_n when_o we_o tell_v they_o hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v figurative_o to_o be_v understand_v they_o say_v figure_n be_v not_o use_v in_o matter_n of_o will_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v plain_a and_o can_v they_o not_o remember_v how_o the_o sentence_n of_o judge_n ought_v to_o be_v plain_a but_o these_o man_n in_o some_o respect_n may_v be_v pardon_v for_o because_o they_o when_o they_o be_v cite_v &_o appear_v at_o the_o bar_n do_v equivocate_v and_o dissemble_v they_o think_v also_o that_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o pronounce_v sentence_n of_o salvation_n or_o damnation_n he_o shall_v speak_v doubtful_o but_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o and_o make_v we_o of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o to_o who_o he_o shall_v say_v come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n for_o certain_o they_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v nescio_fw-la i_o know_v you_o not_o shall_v not_o only_o understand_v it_o but_o feel_v it_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v a_o commentary_n to_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n who_o word_n they_o gross_o &_o childish_o wrest_v to_o the_o maintenance_n and_o defence_n of_o their_o deceit_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o wade_v further_o and_o have_v not_o this_o violence_n be_v use_v to_o this_o text_n i_o shall_v have_v abstain_v at_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v conclude_v this_o point_n with_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 15._o psalm_n add_v withal_o s._n jeromes_n observation_n on_o it_o he_o in_o the_o 15._o psalm_n describe_v a_o righteous_a man_n add_v among_o other_o thing_n who_o swear_v to_o his_o neighbour_n and_o disappoint_v he_o not_o though_o it_o be_v to_o his_o hindrance_n such_o a_o man_n say_v david_n shall_v stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o which_o be_v mean_v not_o only_o he_o that_o swear_v promissoriê_a that_o take_v a_o promissory_a oath_n but_o even_o he_o that_o swear_v assertiuè_fw-fr that_o formal_o affirm_v

conclude_v he_o that_o do_v this_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v out_o of_o which_o s._n i_o infer_v this_o therefore_o he_o that_o do_v shall_v be_v move_v if_o he_o that_o swear_v and_o that_o true_o shall_v stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n then_o he_o that_o forswear_v himself_o that_o elude_v all_o other_o by_o lie_v and_o dissemble_v and_o such_o trick_n as_o the_o heathen_a man_n do_v abhor_v shall_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n sure_o i_o be_o it_o be_v no_o way_n to_o get_v heaven_n the_o whole_a scripture_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n in_o every_o place_n condemn_v

that_o there_o be_v particular_a duty_n give_v i_o leave_v i_o pray_v you_o to_o be_v somewhat_o particular_a as_o the_o text_n the_o time_n and_o this_o present_a honourable_a audience_n do_v in_o

it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o man_n of_o eminent_a place_n great_a birth_n and_o in_o high_a favour_n will_v know_v that_o it_o be_v one_o part_n of_o their_o duty_n to_o employ_v their_o

they_o profess_v to_o renounce_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o ornament_n and_o attire_n they_o wear_v be_v against_o their_o vow_n in_o baptism_n but_o here_o i_o be_o not_o

the_o practice_n of_o some_o of_o their_o professor_n it_o will_v go_v hard_a with_o they_o in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n among_o other_o thing_n they_o have_v establish_v invocation_n of_o

to_o redeem_v our_o christian_a profession_n from_o these_o scandalous_a imputation_n with_o which_o diverse_a do_v too_o true_o tax_v we_o and_o to_o adorn_v our_o call_n with_o good-worke_n that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v not_o blaspheme_v by_o we_o and_o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o enemy_n may_v be_v stop_v this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o confute_v the_o suppose_a opinion_n which_o take_v away_o the_o necessity_n of_o good_a life_n that_o be_v not_o by_o word_n but_o by_o work_n 5.16_o matth._n 5.16_o let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n say_v our_o saviour_n that_o

8.13_o act._n 8.13_o of_o his_o baptism_n there_o can_v be_v no_o question_n for_o it_o be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o express_a term_n and_o why_o shall_v any_o make_v doubt_n of_o his_o faith_n for_o saint_n luke_n do_v not_o only_o say_v he_o believe_v but_o he_o say_v it_o with_o a_o emphasis_n now_o simon_n himself_o also_o believe_v that_o great_a sorcerer_n that_o notable_a impostor_n and_o that_o which_o be_v more_o that_o he_o with_o other_o believe_v and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o think_v that_o all_o other_o be_v hypocrite_n and_o that_o saint_n luke_n be_v deceive_v in_o they_o all_o we_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o simon_n magus_n believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v for_o both_o do_v the_o evangelist_n affirm_v yet_o his_o end_n as_o be_v think_v be_v most_o miserable_a and_o damnable_a and_o therefore_o faith_n and_o baptism_n without_o good-worke_n profit_v not_o nay_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o both_o these_o i_o mean_v faith_n and_o baptism_n without_o good-worke_n when_o we_o grow_v up_o to_o year_n of_o discretion_n do_v but_o increase_v our_o damnation_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o procure_v our_o salvation_n for_o it_o be_v better_a never_o

bound_v ourselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n god_n contract_v with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o he_o he_o covenant_n with_o we_o to_o be_v our_o god_n yet_o conditional_o so_o we_o serve_v he_o we_o covenant_n with_o he_o to_o renounce_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o contract_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o service_n true_a it_o be_v that_o without_o this_o contract_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o same_o duty_n for_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o in_o regard_n both_o of_o our_o creation_n and_o redemption_n be_v bind_v to_o serve_v he_o but_o yet_o by_o our_o contract_n in_o baptism_n we_o bring_v a_o special_a bond_n and_o obligation_n upon_o ourselves_o for_o ever_o for_o even_o those_o thing_n which_o of_o themselves_o do_v bind_v we_o if_o we_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o they_o by_o special_a obligation_n do_v bind_v we_o more_o forcible_o for_o example_n 21.22_o genes_n 28.20_o 21.22_o jacob_n do_v make_v a_o vow_n and_o promise_n that_o if_o god_n will_v be_v

then_o shall_v the_o lord_n be_v his_o god_n then_o of_o all_o that_o god_n give_v he_o will_v he_o give_v he_o the_o ten_o to_o which_o duty_n he_o be_v bind_v without_o a_o vow_n but_o by_o this_o

these_o be_v two_o bond_n of_o a_o wonderful_a force_n the_o one_o of_o oath_n the_o other_o of_o vow_n and_o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o be_v the_o great_a bond_n the_o casuist_n observe_v

sanctior_fw-la holy_a because_o we_o vow_v to_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a then_o that_o the_o contract_n we_o make_v in_o baptism_n which_o be_v as_o strong_a as_o any_o oath_n or_o vow_n in_o the_o world_n do_v tie_v we_o more_o strong_o to_o that_o duty_n which_o of_o itself_o without_o any_o vow_n or_o promise_n be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a but_o let_v we_o yet_o a_o little_a consider_v what_o manner_n of_o bond_n and_o obligation_n it_o be_v that_o by_o baptism_n we_o bring_v upon_o ourselves_o we_o call_v this_o mystery_n by_o the_o name_n of_o sacrament_n which_o be_v
