&_o in_o die_v may_v redeem_v we_o from_o death_n this_o place_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v well_o observe_v because_o it_o not_o only_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n his_o humane_a nature_n

without_o christ_n doubtless_o it_o must_v be_v very_o horrible_a and_o terrible_a to_o as_o many_o as_o look_v upon_o it_o without_o christ_n because_o without_o he_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v

in_o death_n for_o howsoever_o necessity_n be_v lay_v upon_o we_o to_o pass_v through_o death_n yet_o notwithstanding_o both_o in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n we_o be_v at_o peace_n death_n we_o have_v

in_o whosoever_o it_o be_v death_n in_o this_o place_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n but_o also_o the_o punishment_n which_o be_v send_v we_o

for_o the_o angel_n in_o as_o much_o then_o as_o there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o special_a remedy_n to_o repair_v that_o exceed_a fearful_a ruin_n of_o mankind_n it_o be_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n herein_o to_o manifest_v the_o excellent_a and_o incomparable_a pledge_n of_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v we_o which_o may_v not_o be_v communicate_v no_o not_o to_o the_o

man_n he_o often_o appear_v so_o in_o old_a time_n under_o the_o form_n of_o a_o angel_n and_o then_o where_o be_v the_o difference_n but_o because_o it_o can_v be_v affirm_v that_o even_a christ_n be_v indeed_o a_o very_a angel_n clothe_v with_o their_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v rather_o say_v that_o he_o take_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n than_o of_o the_o angel_n the_o apostle_n therefore_o speak_v of_o this_o nature_n and_o show_v that_o christ_n have_v take_v flesh_n be_v true_a man_n so_o as_o now_o in_o two_o nature_n there_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o person_n for_o this_o place_n do_v nothing_o at_o all_o favour_n nestorius_n who_o forge_v two_o christ_n as_o if_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v not_o be_v true_a man_n but_o have_v only_o dwell_v in_o the_o

all_o point_n but_o this_o perfection_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v nothing_o in_o it_o which_o be_v not_o full_a in_o all_o point_n by_o dead_a work_n he_o understand_v those_o work_n which_o beget_v death_n or_o which_o be_v fruit_n of_o death_n for_o even_o as_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n consist_v in_o the_o conjunction_n that_o we_o have_v with_o god_n so_o those_o who_o be_v estrange_v from_o he_o by_o sin_n be_v very_o right_o esteem_v dead_a now_o we_o be_v to_o note_v the_o end_n of_o this_o purgation_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o shall_v serve_v the_o live_a god_n for_o although_o we_o be_v wash_v by_o christ_n christ_n nothing_o we_o do_v be_v acceptable_a in_o god_n sight_n till_o we_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o that_o we_o

that_o nothing_o proceed_v from_o we_o which_o can_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n till_o we_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o see_v we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o enemy_n of_o god_n before_o we_o be_v reconcile_v he_o must_v in_o his_o justice_n hate_v all_o our_o work_n the_o beginning_n therefore_o of_o the_o true_a and_o lawful_a service_n of_o god_n be_v reconciliation_n furthermore_o see_v there_o be_v no_o work_n of_o we_o so_o pure_a and_o clean_a without_o spot_n that_o of_o itself_o can_v be_v acceptable_a and_o well_o please_v unto_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v

he_o make_v between_o the_o live_a god_n and_o dead_a work_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n ver._n 15_o etc._n etc._n he_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v not_o now_o to_o look_v for_o any_o other_o priest_n because_o christ_n full_o and_o absolute_o perform_v this_o office_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o he_o attribute_n not_o this_o honour_n of_o the_o mediatorship_n to_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o other_o shall_v join_v with_o he_o in_o that_o office_n but_o he_o contend_v and_o with_o forcible_a argument_n maintain_v that_o all_o other_o be_v depose_v when_o the_o office_n be_v once_o give_v to_o christ_n but_o to_o confirm_v this_o more_o full_o he_o also_o recite_v how_o christ_n obtain_v this_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n to_o wit_n through_o death_n which_o be_v for_o the_o transgression_n if_o this_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n alone_o and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o any_o other_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a and_o only_a mediator_n he_o also_o touch_v the_o virtue_n &_o efficacy_n of_o his_o death_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o price_n be_v pay_v for_o sin_n which_o can_v not_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n under_o the_o former_a testament_n by_o which_o word_n he_o will_v have_v the_o jew_n to_o pass_v from_o the_o law_n to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o if_o the_o weakness_n

because_o while_o they_o rest_v still_o in_o that_o it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o they_o must_v fall_v into_o a_o perpetual_a anxiety_n of_o conscience_n la_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o
