very_o true_a it_o be_v that_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v which_o have_v beléeve_v and_o not_o see_v wherefore_o we_o must_v believe_v this_o ascension_n rather_o than_o if_o we_o have_v

they_o except_o they_o show_v themselves_o in_o some_o visible_a shape_n we_o see_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o our_o lord_n will_v from_o the_o beginning_n have_v they_o appear_v in_o man_n shape_n howbeit_o he_o leave_v always_o some_o token_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v angel_n for_o if_o we_o understand_v they_o to_o be_v only_o as_o mortal_a man_n we_o will_v

of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o appear_v in_o white_a garment_n herein_o than_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v to_o declare_v that_o we_o shall_v reverent_o receive_v they_o and_o undoubted_o

his_o glorious_a majesty_n be_v not_o only_o as_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o far_o excel_v the_o brightness_n of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o sun_n if_o they_o shoane_v here_o all_o at_o

to_o be_v thus_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n now_o the_o prophet_n namely_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n as_o though_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v utter_o abolish_v and_o

of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o separate_v himself_o from_o it_o 2.11_o heb._n 2.11_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o he_o

like_o a_o hot_a consume_a fire_n to_o cender_v and_o ash_n let_v we_o therefore_o make_v this_o observation_n why_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n appear_v in_o

that_o god_n may_v change_v and_o renew_v they_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n what_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o for_o the_o better_a apply_v of_o this_o history_n to_o our_o use_n howbeit_o over_o

without_o this_o mean_a we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o have_v access_n unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o must_v we_o go_v the_o direct_a way_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n for_o since_o we_o know_v that_o he_o

very_a good_a reason_n to_o admonish_v the_o jew_n that_o the_o redeemer_n be_v come_v to_o wit_n that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v pour_v out_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o beside_o he_o say_v you_o man_n of_o israel_n hear_v these_o word_n jesus_n of_o nazareth_n a_o man_n approve_v of_o god_n among_o you_o with_o wonder_n miracle_n &_o sign_n which_o god_n do_v by_o he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o you_o as_o you_o yourselves_o also_o know_v he_o i_o say_v be_v deliver_v by_o the_o determine_a counsel_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n you_o have_v by_o wicked_a hand_n crucify_v and_o slay_v this_o be_v even_o he_o by_o who_o god_n have_v whole_o give_v himself_o unto_o you_o and_o yet_o have_v you_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o you_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a self_n same_o man_n which_o be_v promise_v you_o in_o the_o law_n he_o come_v to_o be_v your_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n and_o this_o you_o can_v neither_o will_v nor_o choose_v but_o acknowledge_v because_o he_o remain_v not_o in_o death_n for_o god_n give_v he_o victory_n over_o death_n and_o he_o overcome_v it_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o the_o first_o place_n what_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n peter_n tell_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o nothing_o here_o but_o of_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o first_o of_o all_o it_o can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o but_o that_o the_o jew_n must_v needs_o understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v it_o whereby_o saint_n peter_n mean_v to_o prove_v it_o in_o that_o which_o he_o here_o propound_v now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o must_v needs_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n to_o wit_n the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n promise_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o very_a same_o of_o who_o the_o prophet_n have_v write_v and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o suffer_v death_n for_o our_o redemption_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o it_o but_o glorious_o rise_v again_o triumph_v over_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n now_o for_o the_o second_o when_o as_o we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v what_o he_o be_v and_o the_o benefit_n which_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v by_o he_o here_o be_v then_o two_o thing_n thorough_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o we_o for_o if_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o jew_n we_o must_v begin_v to_o instruct_v he_o in_o the_o principle_n of_o christianity_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o god_n have_v promise_v they_o and_o who_o in_o very_a deed_n his_o predecessor_n have_v put_v to_o death_n and_o that_o he_o appoint_v they_o the_o very_a time_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o beside_o that_o he_o have_v give_v he_o a_o testimony_n that_o he_o be_v his_o son_n by_o approve_v it_o with_o the_o sign_n and_o miracle_n which_o he_o do_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o likewise_o that_o after_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o the_o say_n which_o long_o ere_o that_o be_v foretell_v thus_o must_v we_o
