teach_v we_o to_o expound_v the_o scripture_n not_o literal_o only_a but_o also_o allegorical_o mystical_o or_o figurative_o so_o he_o expound_v those_o word_n 9.9_o thou_o shall_v not_o mosel_n the_o

beside_o that_o it_o declare_v god_n power_n and_o providence_n for_o his_o child_n be_v in_o distress_n it_o prefigure_v the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o flow_v out_o of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n unto_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o for_o so_o the_o apostle_n expound_v it_o 10.3_o where_o he_o say_v our_o father_n do_v eat_v the_o same_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o do_v drink_v the_o same_o spiritual_a drink_n for_o they_o drink_v of_o the_o spiritual_a rock_n that_o follow_v they_o and_o the_o rock_n be_v christ_n and_o the_o serpent_n that_o moses_n set_v up_o at_o the_o

of_o our_o faith_n unto_o our_o saviour_n lift_v up_o upon_o the_o cross_n seek_v deliverance_n by_o he_o from_o the_o deadly_a sting_n of_o the_o serpent_n the_o devil_n for_o that_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n 3.14_o as_o he_o himself_o expound_v it_o in_o the_o gospel_n moreover_o where_o moses_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o god_n will_v raise_v unto_o they_o a_o prophet_n like_o unto_o himself_o even_o of_o their_o brethren_n 18.15_o unto_o who_o they_o shall_v harken_v the_o letter_n teach_v we_o nothing_o else_o but_o that_o josua_n shall_v govern_v the_o israelite_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o land_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v they_o but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o person_n of_o josua_n who_o name_n signify_v a_o saviour_n teach_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v our_o saviour_n who_o bring_v we_o into_o the_o everlasting_a rest_n promise_v unto_o all_o the_o faithful_a for_o so_o the_o apostle_n peter_n expound_v the_o word_n of_o moses_n ●_o also_o even_o as_o the_o bonbage_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o egypte_n and_o their_o peregrination_n in_o the_o wilderness_n beside_o that_o be_v plain_o express_v by_o the_o letter_n do_v represent_v the_o state_n of_o christian_n in_o this_o life_n be_v full_o of_o affliction_n even_o so_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n promise_v unto_o god_n people_n in_o the_o which_o they_o have_v a_o great_a conquest_n over_o the_o wicked_a &_o after_o quiet_o enjoy_v the_o country_n beside_o the_o declaration_n of_o god_n exceed_a power_n and_o excellent_a benefit_n bestow_v upon_o they_o do_v represent_v unto_o we_o the_o everlasting_a rest_n in_o heaven_n which_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v when_o almighty_a god_n have_v destroy_v all_o the_o wicked_a upon_o the_o earth_n so_o the_o apostle_n expound_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n who_o concern_v the_o same_o matter_n 95.10_o say_v forty_o year_n long_o be_v i_o gréeve_v with_o this_o generation_n &_o say_v it_o be_v a_o people_n that_o do_v err_v in_o their_o heart_n for_o they_o have_v not_o know_v my_o way_n unto_o who_o i_o swear_v in_o my_o wrath_n 14.23_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o my_o rest_n which_o word_n write_v both_o in_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o prophet_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n do_v show_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n but_o according_a to_o the_o allegory_n they_o teach_v all_o the_o faithful_a the_o everlasting_a rest_n by_o christ_n in_o heaven_n 4.9_o but_o for_o the_o further_a

yet_o saul_n persecute_v not_o christ_n in_o his_o own_o person_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v do_v before_o but_o in_o the_o christian_n which_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1.5_o as_o the_o affliction_n of_o christ_n do_v abound_v in_o we_o so_o our_o consolation_n abound_v through_o christ_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o call_v our_o affliction_n christ_n affliction_n both_o because_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n &_o also_o because_o we_o suffer_v like_o affliction_n with_o he_o for_o his_o sake_n therefore_o as_o long_o as_o there_o remain_v one_o alive_a that_o shall_v suffer_v for_o christ_n sake_n so_o long_o there_o remain_v behind_o unfulfilled_a some_o of_o christ_n affliction_n which_o his_o saint_n suffer_v for_o the_o church_n and_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o true_a faith_n that_o it_o may_v continue_v unto_o the_o end_n &_o be_v save_v this_o be_v the_o commodity_n that_o we_o receive_v by_o the_o suffering_n of_o they_o that_o be_v persecute_v for_o christ_n sake_n as_o we_o learn_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o say_v 1.5_o whether_o we_o be_v afflict_v it_o be_v for_o your_o consolation_n &_o salvation_n which_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o endure_a of_o the_o same_o suffering_n which_o we_o also_o suffer_v or_o whether_o we_o be_v comfort_v it_o be_v for_o your_o consolation_n &_o salvation_n 21.7_o salvation_n be_v wrought_v say_v the_o apostle_n by_o endure_v affliction_n because_o except_o we_o overcome_v our_o enemy_n the_o flesh_n the_o world_n &_o the_o devil_n by_o continue_v steadfast_a unto_o the_o end_n we_o can_v not_o be_v save_v therefore_o salvation_n be_v wrought_v by_o suffering_n not_o that_o it_o be_v meritorious_a but_o conditional_a if_o we_o continue_v unto_o the_o end_n in_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n suffer_v all_o the_o torment_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o to_o withdraw_v we_o from_o the_o same_o there_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o we_o in_o heaven_n a_o everlasting_a crown_n which_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n &_o goodness_n will_v give_v we_o and_o not_o for_o the_o desert_n of_o our_o own_o work_n for_o as_o god_n for_o his_o promise_n sake_n will_v give_v everlasting_a blessedness_n to_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o 10.32_o so_o he_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n that_o we_o confess_v he_o before_o man_n that_o we_o continue_v his_o faithful_a servant_n unto_o the_o end_n &_o that_o we_o do_v not_o shrink_v from_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n for_o any_o worldy_a respect_n for_o this_o cause_n if_o we_o endure_v affliction_n our_o suffering_n do_v serve_v to_o the_o salvation_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a both_o of_o ourselves_o &_o of_o our_o brethren_n thus_o if_o the_o true_a sense_n &_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n may_v be_v call_v a_o letter_n it_o may_v appear_v what_o be_v the_o true_a letter_n of_o the_o former_a word_n recite_v out_o of_o the_o first_o chap._n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o coloss_n there_o be_v also_o a_o false_a letter_n which_o the_o roman_n have_v devise_v upon_o the_o same_o text_n that_o be_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o

they_o ground_n the_o merit_n of_o saint_n satisfaction_n by_o our_o own_o work_n make_v christ_n passion_n unsufficient_a of_o itself_o for_o our_o redemption_n contrary_a to_o other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n 2.24_o as_o this_o by_o christ_n stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v &_o those_o 25._o christ_n be_v able_a perfect_o to_o save_v they_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o see_v he_o ever_o
