seem_v not_o to_o bear_v any_o rule_n at_o the_o first_o but_o after_o the_o corn_n grow_v and_o promise_v to_o yield_v fruit_n then_o grow_v they_o uppe_o aloft_o therefore_o all_o man_n must_v diligent_o apply_v themselves_o to_o root_v uppe_o the_o thorn_n out_o of_o their_o heart_n lest_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v choke_v for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n which_o be_v not_o fill_v with_o great_a abundance_n of_o thorn_n as_o with_o a_o thick_a wood_n and_o certain_o we_o see_v very_o few_o come_v to_o ripeness_n because_o scarce_o the_o ten_o man_n apply_v himself_o to_o root_v they_o uppe_o no_o nor_o to_o lop_v or_o cut_v they_o and_o the_o great_a abundance_n which_o shall_v move_v man_n to_o be_v more_o diligent_a cause_v many_o to_o be_v more_o careless_a christ_n use_v the_o phrase_n of_o deceitfulness_n of_o richesse_n for_o covetousness_n and_o he_o purposely_o call_v richesse_n beguilfull_a or_o deceitful_a that_o man_n may_v thereby_o learn_v the_o rather_o to_o take_v heed_n and_o to_o beware_v of_o their_o snare_n but_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o as_o many_o affection_n as_o there_o be_v of_o our_o flesh_n the_o abundance_n &_o variety_n whereof_o be_v innumerable_a so_o many_o let_v and_o hindrance_n there_o be_v to_o corrupt_v the_o seed_n of_o life_n 23._o he_o that_o receive_v the_o seed_n in_o the_o good_a ground_n christ_n compare_v they_o only_o to_o good_a and_o fruitful_a ground_n in_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n not_o only_o take_v root_n and_o those_o deep_a and_o sound_a but_o which_o do_v also_o overcome_v all_o let_v lest_o they_o shall_v hinder_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o same_o if_o any_o man_n object_n that_o there_o can_v any_o be_v find_v void_a and_o free_a from_o thorn_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a christ_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o perfection_n of_o faith_n but_o only_o show_v in_o who_o the_o word_n do_v fructify_v therefore_o though_o the_o fruit_n be_v but_o small_a yet_o who_o soever_o degenerate_v not_o from_o the_o sincere_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v count_v good_a and_o fruitful_a ground_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v diligent_a in_o root_a uppe_o of_o thorn_n but_o because_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o bring_v to_o pass_v no_o not_o by_o our_o daily_a labour_n but_o that_o some_o remnante_n will_v always_o remain_v yet_o let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o endeavour_n to_o mortify_v and_o to_o kill_v they_o lest_o they_o hinder_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o word_n that_o which_o follow_v next_o where_o christ_n teach_v that_o all_o bring_v not_o forth_o fruit_n in_o like_a measure_n confirm_v this_o sentence_n for_o though_o the_o frutefulnes_n of_o that_o ground_n which_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o thirty_o fold_n be_v but_o small_a in_o comparison_n of_o a_o hundred_o fold_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n join_v all_o those_o ground_n together_o which_o do_v not_o altogether_o deceive_v the_o labour_n and_o hope_n of_o the_o husband_n man_n and_o we_o be_v hereby_o teach_v not_o to_o despise_v they_o which_o grow_v not_o to_o great_a excellency_n when_o the_o householder_n himself_o though_o he_o prefer_v some_o one_o above_o the_o rest_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o high_a

plentiful_a in_o bring_v forth_o all_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n this_o be_v also_o to_o be_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o christ_n speak_v not_o hyperbolical_o of_o increase_n of_o a_o hundred_o fold_n for_o there_o be_v diverse_a region_n at_o that_o time_n so_o fruitful_a as_o it_o appear_v by_o many_o historiographer_n which_o be_v eye_n witness_n of_o the_o same_o mathewe_n 13._o mark_n luke_n 24._o an_o other_o parable_n put_v he_o forth_o unto_o they_o say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o man_n which_o sow_v good_a seed_n in_o his_o field_n 25._o but_o while_o man_n sleep_v there_o come_v his_o enemy_n and_o sow_v tare_n among_o the_o wheat_n and_o go_v his_o way_n 26._o and_o when_o the_o blade_n be_v spring_v up_o and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n than_o

have_v it_o tare_n 28._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o the_o envious_a man_n have_v do_v this_o then_o the_o servant_n say_v unto_o he_o will_v thou_o then_o that_o we_o go_v and_o gather_v they_o up_o 29._o but_o he_o say_v nay_o lest_o while_o you_o go_v about_o to_o gather_v the_o tare_n you_o pluck_v up_o also_o with_o they_o the_o wheat_n 30._o let_v both_o grow_v together_o until_o the_o

into_o my_o barn_n somewhat_o after_o 36._o then_o send_v jesus_n the_o multitude_n away_o &_o go_v into_o the_o house_n and_o his_o disciple_n come_v unto_o he_o say_v declare_v to_o we_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o tare_n of_o the_o field_n 37._o then_o answer_v he_o and_o say_v to_o they_o he_o that_o sow_v the_o good_a seed_n be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n 38._o and_o the_o field_n be_v the_o world_n and_o the_o good_a seed_n they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o tare_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a 39_o and_o the_o enemy_n that_o sow_v they_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o the_o harvest_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o reaper_n be_v the_o angel_n 40._o as_o then_o the_o tare_n be_v gather_v and_o burn_v in_o the_o fire_n so_o shall_v it_o

the_o labour_n to_o consider_v to_o what_o purpose_n christ_n apply_v it_o some_o think_v lest_o the_o confuse_a multitude_n shall_v flatter_v themselves_o in_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o he_o say_v that_o in_o his_o field_n there_o be_v often_o mix_v bad_a seed_n with_o the_o good_a but_o that_o a_o day_n shall_v come_v wherein_o the_o tare_n shall_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o wheat_n and_o therefore_o they_o join_v this_o parable_n with_o the_o last_o as_o if_o they_o both_o have_v one_o cause_n and_o one_o end_n but_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v otherwise_o for_o he_o do_v therefore_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o separation_n lest_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o godly_a shall_v wax_v faint_a with_o weariness_n in_o behold_v a_o confuse_a mixture_n of_o the_o good_a with_o the_o evil_n for_o though_o christ_n have_v cleanse_v his_o church_n with_o his_o blood_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v without_o wrinkle_n and_o spot_n yet_o he_o suffer_v many_o fault_n to_o remain_v i_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o remnante_n of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o which_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v subject_a after_o they_o be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n but_o assoon_o as_o christ_n have_v gather_v a_o little_a flock_n unto_o himself_o many_o hypocrite_n insinuate_v themselves_o perverse_a man_n creep_v in_o and_o many_o wicked_a man_n thrust_v themselves_o in_o and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o holy_a company_n which_o christ_n have_v separate_v unto_o himself_o be_v pollute_v with_o many_o filthy_a pollution_n also_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o absurd_a unto_o many_o that_o either_o ungodly_a or_o profane_a or_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v nourish_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n furthermore_o there_o be_v many_o which_o under_o pretence_n of_o zeal_n be_v more_o froward_a than_o need_n if_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o order_v according_a to_o their_o desire_n because_o there_o do_v not_o appear_v a_o absolute_a purity_n they_o do_v either_o tumultuous_o depart_v from_o the_o church_n or_o else_o they_o overthrow_v and_o destroy_v the_o same_o through_o their_o outrageous_a rigour_n wherefore_o in_o

my_o judgement_n this_o be_v the_o simple_a meaning_n of_o the_o parable_n so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n wander_v in_o this_o world_n there_o shall_v hypocrite_n and_o wicked_a man_n be_v mix_v with_o the_o good_a and_o sincere_a in_o the_o same_o that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n may_v arm_v themselves_o with_o patience_n and_o hold_v their_o faith_n strong_a and_o sure_a amongst_o the_o offence_n with_o which_o they_o may_v be_v trouble_v and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o apt_a comparison_n when_o the_o lord_n call_v the_o church_n his_o field_n because_o the_o faithful_a be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o same_o and_o though_o that_o christ_n do_v say_v afterward_o that_o the_o field_n be_v the_o world_n yet_o without_o doubt_n he_o proper_o apply_v this_o name_n to_o his_o church_n whereof_o he_o begin_v his_o speech_n but_o because_o he_o be_v to_o draw_v his_o ploughe_n through_o all_o the_o coast_n of_o the_o world_n and_o till_o field_n for_o himself_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o life_n in_o the_o same_o he_o apply_v that_o by_o a_o figure_n to_o the_o world_n which_o rather_o agree_v to_o a_o part_n of_o the_o same_o now_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o wheat_n and_o what_o by_o the_o tare_n this_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o doctrine_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v where_o soever_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v it_o be_v present_o corrupt_v and_o defile_v with_o wicked_a invention_n for_o christ_n will_v never_o have_v forbid_v they_o to_o labour_v strong_o in_o purge_v such_o a_o corruption_n neither_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o deal_v in_o this_o as_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n to_o tolerate_v those_o vice_n which_o they_o can_v not_o punish_v for_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a to_o bear_v with_o wicked_a error_n which_o overthrow_n the_o purity_n of_o faith_n then_o christ_n take_v away_o the_o doubt_n when_o he_o do_v by_o name_n call_v the_o tare_n the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a yet_o again_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o this_o can_v be_v simple_o understode_v of_o the_o person_n of_o man_n as_o if_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n have_v sow_v good_a man_n and_o the_o devil_n evil_a man_n which_o thing_n i_o do_v therefore_o give_v warning_n of_o because_o the_o manichee_n have_v abuse_v this_o place_n that_o they_o may_v cast_v a_o colour_n upon_o their_o feign_a device_n of_o two_o beginning_n but_o we_o know_v that_o what_o soever_o corruption_n be_v in_o the_o devil_n or_o in_o man_n the_o same_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o corruption_n of_o sound_n and_o pure_a nature_n therefore_o as_o god_n make_v not_o his_o elect_v which_o be_v infect_v with_o original_a sin_n good_a seed_n by_o creation_n but_o regenerate_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n so_o the_o devil_n creat_v not_o evil_a man_n but_o deprave_v they_o that_o be_v create_v of_o god_n and_o thrust_v into_o the_o field_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o defile_v the_o pure_a seed_n 36._o he_o that_o sow_v good_a seed_n he_o have_v say_v before_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v like_a to_o a_o sour_a but_o unproper_o yet_o the_o sense_n be_v evident_a that_o the_o same_o do_v oft_o befall_v in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o in_o the_o sow_v of_o the_o field_n that_o the_o tear_v over_o grow_v the_o wheat_n but_o he_o set_v down_o one_o special_a thing_n say_v that_o the_o field_n be_v sow_v with_o tare_n by_o the_o deceit_n of_o the_o enemy_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o this_o come_v not_o by_o chance_n nor_o natural_o that_o many_o wicked_a man_n shall_v mix_v themselves_o amongst_o the_o faithful_a as_o if_o they_o be_v all_o one_o corn_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o impute_v the_o fault_n of_o this_o mischief_n to_o the_o devil_n not_o that_o the_o condemn_v of_o he_o shall_v deliver_v man_n from_o guiltiness_n but_o first_o that_o we_o lay_v no_o fault_n upon_o god_n for_o this_o offence_n befalling_a to_o his_o church_n then_o that_o we_o wonder_v not_o that_o tare_n do_v grow_v up_o in_o the_o lord_n field_n since_o satan_n do_v always_o watch_v to_o annoy_v it_o also_o it_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n that_o christ_n say_v not_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n do_v sow_v but_o himself_o only_o for_o though_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a that_o this_o be_v restrain_v to_o his_o person_n yet_o because_o he_o use_v our_o help_n and_o apply_v we_o as_o instrument_n in_o tillinge_v of_o his_o field_n so_o that_o he_o alone_o woork_v by_o we_o and_o in_o we_o he_o do_v right_o challenge_v that_o to_o himself_o which_o after_o a_o sort_n be_v common_a unto_o his_o minister_n therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o only_o preach_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n but_o by_o his_o direction_n and_o guide_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o as_o the_o only_a author_n of_o the_o work_n 39_o the_o harvest_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v a_o very_a troublesome_a estate_n that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v load_v with_o the_o reprobate_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o christ_n do_v therefore_o prescribe_v we_o this_o time_n to_o prepare_v we_o to_o patience_n lest_o we_o shall_v feed_v ourselves_o with_o vain_a hope_n it_o behoove_v the_o pastor_n diligent_o to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o the_o purge_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o this_o behalf_n all_o good_a man_n be_v to_o help_v they_o so_o far_o as_o their_o call_n will_v suffer_v but_o when_o all_o man_n have_v general_o put_v to_o their_o help_a hand_n yet_o they_o shall_v not_o profit_v so_o much_o as_o utter_o to_o purge_v away_o all_o filth_n from_o the_o church_n therefore_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o purpose_n of_o christ_n be_v nothing_o less_o then_o by_o sufferance_n to_o nourish_v sin_n his_o only_a purpose_n be_v to_o exhort_v the_o faithful_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o faint_a because_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o have_v the_o wicked_a amongst_o they_o then_o it_o do_v also_o serve_v to_o bridle_v and_o to_o moderate_v their_o zeal_n which_o think_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o keep_v company_n but_o with_o pure_a angel_n the_o anabaptiste_n also_o and_o such_o like_a have_v wicked_o abuse_v this_o text_n that_o they_o may_v drive_v away_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sword_n from_o the_o church_n but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_o make_v for_o they_o themselves_o do_v admit_v excommunication_n which_o root_v out_o the_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_a for_o a_o time_n why_o shall_v not_o the_o godly_a magistrate_n exercise_v the_o sword_n against_o the_o wicked_a so_o oft_o as_o need_v shall_v require_v they_o take_v exception_n against_o this_o say_v that_o

for_o god_n do_v promise_n that_o even_o the_o false_a prophet_n shall_v sometime_o work_v miracle_n and_o we_o know_v that_o satan_n do_v imitate_v the_o work_n of_o god_n like_o a_o ape_n that_o

sluggishness_n but_o also_o through_o malicious_a contempt_n refuse_v he_o worthy_a to_o be_v give_v over_o of_o god_n unto_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o we_o must_v seek_v god_n with_o the_o sincere_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o he_o may_v reveal_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n that_o we_o must_v obedient_o

the_o evangelist_n have_v their_o answer_n to_o be_v account_v a_o oracle_n he_o do_v only_o bring_v to_o light_n the_o wicked_a stubbornness_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n who_o catch_v at_o

may_v easy_o answer_v that_o the_o only_a intent_n and_o purpose_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o bring_v all_o man_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v but_o the_o dissension_n do_v arise_v and_o proceed_v from_o their_o wickedness_n who_o have_v no_o desire_n to_o come_v unto_o god_n therefore_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v cut_v the_o church_n in_o piece_n by_o

of_o the_o common_a sort_n set_v nought_o by_o their_o threaten_n do_v bold_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o prophet_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v thank_v for_o this_o so_o that_o

that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o shameful_a be_v their_o unbelief_n who_o be_v discourage_v with_o fear_n do_v either_o deny_v he_o or_o keep_v silence_n when_o as_o they_o know_v that_o
