a_o outcry_n and_o with_o a_o pitiful_a lamentation_n say_v o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o 24_o body_n of_o this_o death_n where_o be_v now_o saint_n paul_n righteousness_n wherein_o he_o be_v to_o repose_v as_o the_o papist_n say_n his_o hope_n of_o merit_n by_o his_o righteous_a work_n he_o cry_v out_o on_o it_o account_v and_o judge_v all_o thing_n as_o afore_o to_o be_v but_o dung_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o excellent_a knowledge_n of_o christ._n thus_o you_o see_v s._n paul_n behold_v nothing_o but_o christ_n only_o and_o lay_v all_o his_o righteousness_n aside_o have_v no_o hope_n at_o all_o thereby_o to_o merit_v heaven_n then_o if_o s._n paul_n righteousness_n be_v lay_v aside_o as_o not_o meritorious_a to_o purchase_v heaven_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o all_o your_o popish_a righteousness_n but_o even_o be_v lay_v aside_o as_o s._n paul_n have_v lay_v he_o nay_o rather_o commit_v it_o to_o the_o dunghill_n as_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o s._n paul_n righteousness_n but_o methinks_v i_o hear_v one_o demand_n a_o question_n the_o same_o that_o be_v demand_v in_o the_o 3._o to_o the_o gala._n which_o be_v this_o wherefore_o they_o serve_v the_o law_n if_o when_o we_o have_v do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n we_o shall_v not_o merit_v by_o they_o nor_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o s._n paul_n make_v ●…4_n the_o answer_n it_o be_v add_v say_v he_o because_o of_o the_o transgression_n till_o the_o seed_n come_v unto_o the_o which_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v etc._n etc._n be_v the_o law_n they_o against_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n god_n forbid_v for_o if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o law_n give_v which_o can_v have_v give_v life_n sure_o righteousness_n shall_v have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n but_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o all_o that_o believe_v but_o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n and_o shut_v up_o unto_o the_o faith_n which_o shall_v afterward_o be_v reveal_v wherefore_o the_o law_n be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v righteous_a by_o faith_n now_o here_o you_o see_v wherefore_o the_o law_n serve_v it_o be_v as_o a_o glass_n for_o we_o wherein_o to_o behold_v our_o sin_n for_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o law_n be_v add_v and_o the_o law_n show_v we_o our_o sin_n &_o we_o find_v no_o help_n thereby_o but_o damnation_n because_o no_o man_n can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o can_v give_v life_n therefore_o it_o teach_v we_o like_o a_o good_a schoolmaster_n to_o who_o we_o shall_v resort_v for_o life_n point_v we_o as_o with_o a_o finger_n unto_o christ_n jesu._n for_o the_o scripture_n have_v conclude_v all_o under_o sin_n man_n &_o all_o his_o work_n no_o hope_n in_o ourselves_o nor_o in_o our_o work_n but_o to_o run_v to_o god_n promise_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o this_o be_v our_o last_o refuge_n and_o the_o very_a upshot_n of_o our_o game_n whereby_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n &_o salvation_n be_v win_v for_o ever_o and_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o little_a work_n i_o will_v join_v 3._o verse_n of_o te_fw-la deum_fw-la which_o the_o papist_n sing_v daily_a in_o their_o church_n but_o in_o the_o lattin_a tongue_n so_o as_o neither_o the_o singer_n nor_o the_o hearer_n can_v understand_v the_o same_o but_o bless_v be_v our_o god_n that_o have_v plant_v among_o we_o such_o teacher_n who_o have_v give_v unto_o we_o which_o be_v unlearned_a the_o same_o in_o our_o natural_a tongue_n so_o as_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o same_o to_o our_o comfort_n and_o find_v therein_o that_o you_o papist_n do_v teach_v we_o false_a doctrine_n when_o you_o teach_v we_o that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n salvation_n be_v merit_v whereby_o you_o make_v christ_n no_o redeemer_n nor_o saviour_n but_o the_o mean_n whereby_o we_o receive_v grace_n and_o by_o which_o grace_n we_o do_v good_a work_n by_o which_o work_v say_v you_o but_o false_o we_o merit_v salvation_n but_o you_o shall_v hear_v what_o te_fw-la deum_fw-la teach_v you_o to_o say_v to_o christ_n thus_o it_o teach_v when_o thou_o take_v upon_o thou_o to_o deliver_v man_n thou_o do_v not_o abhor_v the_o virgin_n womb_n when_o thou_o have_v overcome_v the_o sharpness_n of_o death_n thou_o do_v open_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o all_o believer_n we_o therefore_o pray_v thou_o help_v thy_o servant_n who_o thou_o have_v redeem_v with_o thy_o most_o precious_a blood_n in_o the_o 1._o verse_n of_o the_o three_o we_o say_v to_o christ_n when_o thou_o take_v upon_o thou_o to_o deliver_v man_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o deliver_v man_n from_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n from_o death_n hell_n and_o damnation_n before_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o before_o any_o of_o you_o papist_n be_v create_v which_o will_v be_v justify_v by_o your_o work_n and_o deliver_v you_o from_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n if_o any_o of_o you_o be_v deliver_v before_o you_o do_v any_o good_a work_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v that_o he_o will_v deliver_v those_o who_o he_o know_v not_o he_o know_v they_o who_o he_o will_v deliver_v &_o that_o before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o unto_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o agree_v but_o the_o difference_n be_v in_o this_o as_o aforesaid_a that_o you_o papist_n will_n say_v that_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o deliver_v man_n because_o he_o know_v before_o that_o they_o will_v do_v good_a work_n to_o merit_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o perpetual_a death_n to_o eternal_a life_n but_o we_o by_o saint_n paul_n do_v maintain_v the_o contrary_a as_o before_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v but_o if_o it_o be_v as_o you_o say_v then_o shall_v it_o have_v be_v say_v thus_o when_o thou_o with_o the_o help_n of_o our_o good_a work_n take_v upon_o thou_o to_o deliver_v man_n etc._n etc._n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o say_v but_o when_o thou_o take_v upon_o thou_o to_o deliver_v man_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o christ_n alone_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o deliverance_n of_o man_n without_o man_n work_n but_o if_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n merit_v salvation_n they_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n do_v set_v open_v the_o king_n doom_n of_o heaven_n to_o all_o good_a worker_n by_o grace_n and_o then_o what_o need_n have_v we_o of_o christ_n but_o because_o this_o be_v false_a therefore_o we_o say_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n when_o thou_o have_v overcome_v the_o sharpness_n of_o death_n thou_o not_o thou_o and_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o thou_o do_v set_v open_a the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o who_o i_o pray_v you_o to_o who_o to_o all_o good_a worker_n by_o grace_n no_o but_o to_o all_o believer_n that_o believe_v in_o the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o three_o verse_n we_o pray_v our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o help_v his_o servant_n who_o what_o that_o have_v merit_v heaven_n by_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n sure_o that_o be_v forget_v no_o no_o but_o those_o who_o thou_o haste_v redeem_v with_o thy_o precious_a blood_n here_o be_v not_o with_o thy_o precious_a blood_n and_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o with_o thy_o precious_a blood_n alone_o without_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o confirm_v all_o this_o most_o true_a and_o unreprovable_a doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o in_o the_o passion_n and_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n and_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o all_o the_o adversary_n of_o god_n truth_n from_o cavil_v any_o more_o against_o the_o same_o let_v we_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o which_o he_o speak_v unto_o his_o 10._o apostle_n say_v who_o be_v yet_o also_o of_o you_o have_v a_o servant_n plough_v or_o feed_v cattle_n will_v say_v unto_o he_o by_o and_o by_o when_o he_o be_v come_v from_o the_o field_n go_v and_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o table_n and_o will_v not_o rather_o say_v to_o he_o dress_v wherewith_o i_o may_v sup_v &_o gird_v thyself_o and_o serve_v i_o till_o i_o have_v eat_v and_o drunken_a &_o afterward_o eat_v thou_o &_o drink_v thou_o 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 so_o likewise_o you_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v note_v here_o the_o most_o

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
