paul_n do_v set_v forth_o abraham_n to_o the_o roman_n &_o to_o the_o galatian_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n chap._n xi_o recite_v a_o great_a scroll_n &_o number_n

general_o for_o out_o of_o both_o these_o example_n we_o must_v learn_v obedience_n unto_o god_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o in_o his_o word_n also_o in_o this_o treatise_n of_o thexample_n of_o person_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o papist_n &_o especial_o the_o monk_n have_v dangerous_o err_v who_o &_o their_o sermon_n have_v lay_v before_o we_o i_o know_v not_o what_o counterfeit_a petty_a saint_n &_o have_v feign_v they_o to_o have_v live_v all_o their_o life_n long_o so_o blameless_a that_o they_o never_o offend_v no_o not_o in_o the_o least_o thing_n such_o a_o feign_a description_n of_o person_n make_v rather_o to_o disperation_n they_o to_o the_o edify_v of_o the_o conscience_n wrestle_v with_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n &_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god._n therefore_o let_v we_o take_v unto_o we_o true_a example_n and_o let_v we_o leave_v feign_a example_n for_o the_o poet_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v handle_v of_o they_o which_o be_v

hearer_n true_a godliness_n but_o also_o the_o form_n of_o live_v according_a to_o their_o kind_n of_o call_v therefore_o the_o godly_a preacher_n must_v remember_v to_o show_v forth_o example_n profitable_a unto_o godliness_n and_o not_o those_o which_o seem_v to_o cause_v desperation_n now_o it_o be_v time_n that_o we_o declare_v those_o thing_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v with_o a_o

believe_a man_n ought_v to_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o imitation_n of_o paul_n to_o observe_v two_o thing_n in_o example_n to_o wit_n the_o fact_n in_o itself_o and_o then_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o person_n and_o of_o the_o fact_n the_o fact_n in_o itself_o do_v teach_v that_o true_a righteousness_n do_v consist_v of_o faith_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o person_n and_o of_o the_o fact_n do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o many_o thing_n first_o that_o circumcision_n of_o necessity_n be_v not_o require_v to_o justification_n for_o abraham_n be_v justify_v before_o circumcision_n but_o afterward_o circumcision_n be_v add_v as_o a_o seal_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o faith_n second_o the_o profession_n of_o abraham_n his_o life_n before_o justification_n witness_v that_o he_o be_v receive_v of_o god_n not_o for_o his_o own_o proper_a merit_n or_o work_n go_v before_o but_o by_o the_o

the_o word_n themselves_o as_o the_o form_n or_o particular_a sentence_n be_v include_v in_o their_o kind_n or_o general_a sentence_n and_o what_o thing_n soever_o be_v necessary_o join_v with_o the_o matter_n or_o else_o be_v take_v out_o of_o they_o which_o be_v annex_v and_o join_v to_o the_o condition_n and_o state_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o in_o this_o example_n lay_v before_o we_o be_v include_v two_o simple_a place_n one_o of_o honour_n the_o other_o of_o superior_n these_o be_v to_o be_v handle_v a_o sunder_o by_o the_o simple_a kind_n of_o teach_v of_o thing_n after_o the_o same_o sort_n as_o i_o have_v handle_v before_o second_o out_o of_o the_o division_n of_o this_o general_a sentence_n superior_n be_v to_o be_v honour_v many_o particular_a sentence_n do_v arise_v according_a to_o the_o contrary_a division_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o predicate_v the_o subject_n may_v be_v divide_v into_o these_o form_n that_o of_o superior_n some_o be_v private_a which_o be_v either_o natural_a as_o parent_n or_o else_o not_o natural_a as_o schoolmaster_n patroness_n and_o householder_n some_o be_v public_a as_o the_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a magistrate_n with_o their_o difference_n further_o more_o the_o predicate_v to_o be_v honour_v may_v be_v divide_v into_o part_n of_o honour_n for_o he_o which_o honour_v a_o other_o do_v reverence_v he_o obey_v he_o and_o be_v thankful_a unto_o he_o so_o there_o be_v three_o part_n or_o difference_n of_o the_o predicate_a from_o hence_o as_o out_o of_o a_o grove_n we_o may_v gather_v particular_a sentence_n as_o we_o must_v reverence_v our_o parent_n we_o must_v obey_v our_o parent_n we_o must_v be_v thankful_a to_o our_o parent_n we_o must_v reverence_v our_o master_n we_o must_v obey_v our_o master_n we_o

sentence_n be_v to_o be_v frame_v out_o of_o the_o rest_n which_o i_o have_v declare_v from_o whence_o may_v ensue_v a_o most_o great_a plenty_n of_o needful_a question_n over_o and_o beside_o this_o place_n oftentimes_o be_v proffitable_o take_v out_o of_o they_o which_o consist_v of_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n as_o if_o parent_n schoolmaster_n patroness_n be_v froward_a or_o overthwart_o

of_o predicable_n predicament_n and_o proposition_n ¶_o of_o a_o plenteous_a confirmation_n a_o plenteous_a confirmation_n consist_v in_o the_o kind_n of_o proof_n in_o heap_v and_o in_o dilate_v of_o

not_o of_o work_n because_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o pronounce_v we_o hold_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n the_o second_o kind_n be_v reason_v as_o oftentimes_o as_o it_o be_v not_o pronounce_v by_o plain_a word_n but_o be_v gather_v by_o a_o strong_a and_o unmovable_a consequence_n and_o this_o kind_n be_v double_a straight_o and_o indirect_a the_o straight_o be_v when_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v be_v gather_v plain_o in_o the_o first_o conclusion_n which_o kind_n be_v borrow_v from_o the_o place_n of_o invention_n of_o the_o kind_n of_o the_o form_n of_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o destinate_v &_o of_o thing_n adjoin_v as_o if_o this_o question_n be_v ask_v whether_o schoolmaster_n be_v to_o be_v

not_o simple_o that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o to_o be_v prove_v but_o do_v gather_v a_o inconvenience_n out_o of_o the_o opposite_a or_o contrary_n wherewith_o he_o overthrow_v the_o antecedent_n which_o be_v overthrow_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o opposite_a immediate_o flow_v as_o if_o superior_n be_v not_o to_o be_v honour_v neither_o parent_n be_v to_o be_v honour_v but_o this_o be_v false_a

the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v attribute_v to_o christ_n ergo_fw-la he_o be_v god_n by_o the_o indirect_a way_n if_o christ_n be_v only_o a_o creature_n every_o one_o only_o be_v accurse_v that_o

furthermore_o this_o our_o distinction_n of_o proof_n want_v neither_o reason_n nor_o example_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o whatsoever_o be_v prove_v or_o disprove_v in_o sacred_a thing_n it_o be_v
