shall_v be_v offer_v to_o they_o and_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o receive_v of_o it_o this_o will_v not_o sink_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o nature_n they_o think_v they_o must_v do_v something_o precedent_o or_o else_o this_o righteousness_n be_v not_o offer_v they_o but_o my_o belove_a we_o must_v learn_v to_o believe_v this_o and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o sanctify_v we_o after_o he_o have_v justify_v us._n i_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v still_o some_o action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o gain_v this_o or_o that_o habit_n or_o ability_n as_o you_o see_v in_o natural_a thing_n there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o habit_n that_o we_o get_v by_o some_o precedent_a action_n of_o our_o own_o habit_n as_o the_o learning_n of_o art_n and_o science_n to_o learn_v to_o write_v well_o etc._n etc._n here_o there_o be_v some_o action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o fit_v we_o for_o it_o and_o then_o we_o get_v the_o ability_n to_o do_v it_o but_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v other_o habit_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o nature_n in_o we_o as_o a_o ability_n to_o hear_v to_o see_v to_o taste_v etc._n etc._n now_o for_o these_o we_o need_v not_o any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o for_o the_o attain_n of_o they_o because_o they_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v in_o these_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o salvation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o may_v get_v habit_n of_o moral_a virtue_n by_o labour_n and_o pain_n of_o our_o own_o there_o be_v action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o they_o and_o in_o that_o the_o philosopher_n say_v right_a that_o we_o learn_v to_o be_v temperate_a and_o sober_a and_o chaste_a etc._n etc._n but_o now_o for_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o it_o be_v not_o so_o those_o habit_n that_o nature_n have_v plant_v in_o we_o we_o exercise_v they_o natural_o without_o do_v any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o to_o attain_v they_o as_o we_o do_v not_o by_o see_v oft_o learn_v to_o see_v but_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n natural_o plant_v in_o we_o so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o work_n that_o we_o must_v do_v which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o salvation_n god_n work_v they_o in_o we_o he_o infuse_v those_o habit_n into_o us._n therefore_o this_o conclusion_n be_v good_a that_o it_o be_v faith_n alone_o by_o which_o this_o righteousness_n be_v make_v we_o to_o salvation_n this_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 2._o ult._n say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n if_o righteousness_n have_v be_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n than_o christ_n have_v die_v without_o a_o cause_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o by_o something_o that_o we_o do_v ourselves_o some_o action_n that_o we_o ourselves_o have_v wrought_v or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v mere_o by_o faith_n now_o if_o it_o have_v be_v attainable_a by_o any_o work_n of_o our_o own_o christ_n die_v without_o a_o cause_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v christ_n can_v have_v give_v you_o ability_n to_o do_v those_o work_n without_o his_o die_a but_o for_o this_o very_a cause_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o die_v that_o he_o may_v work_v righteousness_n and_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n so_o that_o you_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v for_o the_o first_o attain_v of_o it_o but_o to_o receive_v it_o by_o faith_n faith_n and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n that_o may_v have_v find_v out_o many_o other_o way_n to_o lead_v man_n to_o salvation_n yet_o have_v choose_v this_o way_n above_o all_o other_o to_o save_v man_n only_o by_o faith_n receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o you_o shall_v find_v these_o four_o reason_n for_o it_o in_o the_o scripture_n two_o of_o they_o be_v set_v down_o rom._n 4.16_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n reason_n mark_v it_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v it_o by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v wrought_v by_o we_o as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n it_o must_v have_v be_v give_v as_o wage_n and_o so_o it_o have_v be_v receive_v by_o debt_n and_o not_o by_o favour_n but_o this_o be_v god_n end_n in_o it_o to_o make_v know_v the_o exceed_a length_n and_o breadth_n of_o his_o love_n and_o how_o unsearchable_a the_o riches_n of_o christ_n be_v his_o end_n be_v to_o have_v his_o grace_n magnify_v now_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o action_n of_o we_o require_v but_o mere_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n it_o have_v not_o be_v mere_o of_o grace_n for_o faith_n empty_v a_o man_n it_o take_v a_o man_n quite_o off_o his_o own_o bottom_n faith_n come_v as_o a_o empty_a hand_n and_o receive_v all_o from_o god_n and_o give_v all_o to_o god._n now_o that_o it_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v free_a and_o to_o be_v altogether_o of_o grace_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v have_v salvation_n propound_v to_o man_n to_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n only_o second_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n so_o also_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a if_o it_o have_v be_v any_o other_o way_n it_o have_v never_o be_v sure_a put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n have_v put_v we_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o have_v give_v we_o grace_n and_o ability_n as_o he_o do_v to_o adam_n yet_o the_o law_n be_v strict_a and_o the_o least_o fail_a will_v have_v breed_v fear_n and_o doubt_n and_o will_v have_v cause_v death_n but_o now_o when_o the_o righteousness_n that_o save_v we_o be_v wrought_v already_o by_o god_n and_o offer_v to_o we_o by_o he_o and_o offer_v free_o and_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o offer_n be_v the_o sure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o conjectural_a thing_n now_o we_o may_v build_v infallible_o upon_o it_o for_o unless_o faith_n have_v foot_v on_o the_o word_n we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v sure_a all_o thing_n else_o be_v mutable_a and_o subject_a to_o change_v therefore_o when_o god_n have_v once_o say_v it_o we_o may_v firm_o rest_v in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v sure_a and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v only_o by_o faith_n reason_n three_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n not_o only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o law_n if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n than_o salvation_n have_v be_v shut_v up_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o gentile_n be_v stranger_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o be_v unclean_a man_n shut_v out_o from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n but_o when_o it_o be_v now_o free_o propound_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o nothing_o be_v require_v but_o only_a faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o it_o when_o there_o be_v no_o more_o look_v for_o but_o believe_v and_o receive_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n for_o abraham_n himself_o before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v he_o be_v as_o a_o common_a man_n the_o veil_n be_v not_o then_o set_v up_o yet_o even_o then_o his_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n the_o last_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n reason_n be_v that_o no_o man_n may_v boast_v that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rejoice_v in_o itself_o for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n by_o any_o thing_n do_v in_o ourselves_o we_o have_v have_v cause_n to_o rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o but_o for_o this_o cause_n say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1.30_o 1.30_o christ_n be_v make_v to_o we_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n that_o he_o that_o rejoice_v may_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o wisdom_n of_o our_o own_o we_o have_v have_v cause_n to_o have_v rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o but_o we_o be_v darkness_n eph._n 4._o 4._o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o foolishness_n and_o weakness_n in_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rejoice_v in_o his_o presence_n again_o if_o we_o have_v have_v grace_n put_v into_o ourselves_o though_o it_o have_v be_v but_o little_a for_o which_o god_n may_v have_v accept_v we_o the_o flesh_n will_v have_v boast_v therefore_o his_o righteousness_n be_v make_v we_o but_o when_o this_o be_v do_v yet_o if_o after_o justification_n it_o have_v be_v in_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n
and_o redemption_n that_o no_o flesh_n shall_v rejoice_v in_o itself_o now_o if_o that_o be_v god_n end_n if_o that_o be_v his_o aim_n why_o he_o will_v have_v we_o save_v by_o faith_n let_v not_o we_o disappoint_v he_o of_o his_o aim_n let_v we_o not_o take_v from_o he_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n but_o let_v we_o glory_n in_o the_o lord_n this_o point_n we_o shall_v especial_o look_v to_o not_o to_o rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o god_n for_o my_o belove_a we_o be_v all_o natural_o exceed_v apt_a to_o rejoice_v in_o ourselves_o we_o will_v fain_o find_v some_o excellency_n in_o ourselves_o every_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o reflect_v upon_o himself_o and_o he_o will_v fain_o see_v some_o worth_n there_o that_o he_o may_v rejoice_v in_o and_o if_o he_o be_v no_o body_n at_o all_o there_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n to_o think_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v accept_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n that_o we_o be_v so_o backward_o to_o as_o this_o it_o be_v adam_n fault_n in_o paradise_n whereas_o he_o shall_v have_v trust_v god_n and_o have_v be_v whole_o dependent_a upon_o he_o for_o all_o he_o will_v needs_o know_v good_a and_o evil_a he_o will_v have_v something_o of_o his_o own_o and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o lose_v he_o all_o and_o bring_v the_o curse_n upon_o he_o because_o he_o will_v not_o be_v dependent_a now_o in_o the_o gospel_n god_n come_v by_o a_o second_o mean_n of_o save_v man_n and_o in_o this_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o creature_n to_o have_v nothing_o in_o himself_o to_o glory_n in_o but_o man_n be_v hardly_o bring_v to_o this_o but_o exalt_v and_o lift_v up_o himself_o and_o will_v fain_o have_v some_o worth_n and_o excellency_n of_o his_o own_o but_o as_o long_o as_o we_o do_v thus_o we_o can_v be_v save_v that_o be_v the_o argument_n that_o be_v use_v rom._n 6.4_o 6.4_o why_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o other_o way_n abraham_n have_v have_v wherein_o to_o rejoice_v in_o himself_o but_o faith_n exclude_v this_o rejoice_a and_o only_a faith_n we_o shall_v i_o say_v learn_v to_o do_v this_o in_o good_a earnest_n to_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o worth_n in_o ourselves_o to_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v to_o we_o all_o in_o all_o col._n 3.11_o be_v a_o excellent_a place_n to_o this_o purpose_n say_v the_o apostle_n there_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o salvation_n there_o be_v neither_o jew_n nor_o gentile_a bond_n nor_o free_a but_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o that_o be_v when_o we_o come_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o salvation_n god_n look_v at_o nothing_o in_o a_o man_n he_o look_v at_o no_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o man_n one_o man_n be_v virtuous_a another_o man_n be_v wicked_a one_o man_n be_v a_o jew_n and_o have_v all_o those_o privilege_n another_o man_n be_v a_o gentile_a a_o alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n one_o man_n be_v circumcise_v another_o man_n be_v uncircumcised_a but_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o why_o for_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o mark_v it_o first_o he_o be_v all_o that_o be_v there_o be_v nothing_o else_o require_v to_o justify_v indeed_o if_o we_o be_v something_o and_o he_o be_v not_o all_o we_o may_v then_o look_v at_o something_o beside_o but_o he_o be_v all_o again_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o that_o be_v go_v through_o all_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v think_v will_v help_v you_o to_o salvation_n in_o all_o those_o thing_n christ_n be_v only_o to_o be_v respect_v and_o nothing_o but_o christ_n whatsoever_o be_v do_v without_o christ_n god_n regard_v it_o not_o if_o you_o will_v do_v any_o work_n of_o your_o own_o to_o help_v yourselves_o in_o salvation_n if_o you_o will_v rest_v upon_o any_o privilege_n christ_n be_v not_o all_o in_o all_o but_o christ_n must_v be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o every_o thing_n and_o if_o only_a christ_n be_v all_o than_o we_o must_v come_v only_o with_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v faith_n only_o that_o lay_v hold_v upon_o christ._n now_o a_o natural_a man_n he_o will_v not_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v all_o but_o himself_o will_v be_v something_o or_o if_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o some_o thing_n he_o will_v not_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v all_o in_o every_o thing_n to_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o wisdom_n his_o righteousness_n his_o sanctification_n to_o do_v nothing_o but_o by_o christ_n to_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o redemption_n not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o help_v himself_o without_o christ_n but_o that_o christ_n must_v help_v he_o out_o of_o every_o trouble_n and_o bestow_v upon_o he_o every_o comfort_n this_o i_o say_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v thorough_o empty_v of_o ourselves_o in_o this_o matter_n of_o rejoice_v aswell_o as_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o take_v for_o in_o what_o measure_n any_o man_n set_v any_o price_n upon_o himself_o so_o far_o as_o he_o have_v any_o opinion_n

altogether_o such_o a_o man_n will_v stand_v amaze_v at_o the_o height_n and_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n such_o a_o man_n will_v be_v able_a to_o see_v that_o

be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o believe_v and_o therefore_o god_n pity_v moses_n god_n see_v when_o thing_n be_v hard_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o pity_v man_n god_n bear_v with_o moses_n in_o that_o case_n because_o the_o thing_n be_v difficult_a and_o high_a there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o hope_n and_o in_o such_o case_n god_n be_v willing_a that_o his_o people_n shall_v ask_v

ask_v he_o a_o sign_n god_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v they_o a_o sign_n indeed_o when_o man_n will_v ask_v a_o sign_n to_o tempt_v god_n a_o adulterous_a generation_n ask_v a_o sign_n that_o be_v

but_o i_o say_v when_o either_o the_o thing_n be_v high_a or_o else_o when_o the_o mean_n of_o persuasion_n be_v weak_a and_o slender_a as_o we_o know_v christ_n say_v unto_o nathaniel_n do_v thou_o

hope_n when_o there_o be_v great_a difficulty_n in_o this_o sense_n faith_n admit_v degree_n three_o extent_n faith_n admit_v degree_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n of_o it_o
when_o there_o be_v more_o thing_n reveal_v to_o they_o and_o i_o take_v it_o this_o place_n will_v carry_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v reveal_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n it_o be_v reveal_v obscure_o and_o there_o be_v a_o little_a say_v among_o they_o to_o believe_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o save_v they_o but_o when_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o there_o be_v great_a revelation_n as_o we_o know_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o prophet_n their_o faith_n be_v great_a as_o there_o be_v more_o revelation_n so_o there_o be_v more_o faith_n so_o i_o say_v it_o admit_v degree_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n of_o revelation_n as_o the_o apostle_n when_o christ_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n they_o have_v a_o degree_n of_o faith_n but_o when_o christ_n ascend_v then_o there_o be_v more_o revelation_n than_o they_o grow_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n because_o they_o grow_v from_o revelation_n to_o revelation_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v send_v into_o their_o heart_n to_o reveal_v all_o thing_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n you_o know_v they_o have_v abundance_n of_o revelation_n afterward_o so_o in_o this_o regard_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n faith_n receive_v degree_n not_o because_o the_o habit_n be_v increase_v but_o because_o the_o revelation_n and_o object_n be_v more_o and_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o poor_a christian_n those_o that_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a they_o may_v have_v a_o true_a habit_n and_o as_o true_a a_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o though_o a_o man_n be_v more_o conversant_a in_o scripture_n and_o know_v more_o than_o they_o he_o have_v more_o revelation_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n though_o he_o have_v a_o great_a faith_n than_o the_o other_o yet_o the_o other_o have_v a_o like_a precious_a faith_n with_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o grace_n so_o we_o

be_v nothing_o but_o a_o reflect_v act_n by_o which_o we_o know_v and_o be_v persuade_v that_o we_o have_v take_v christ_n and_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v this_o admit_v of_o degree_n of_o proof_n and_o here_o as_o the_o evidence_n of_o sanctification_n be_v more_o so_o be_v the_o assurance_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o spirit_n witness_v to_o our_o spirit_n he_o discover_v good_a thing_n to_o we_o we_o have_v need_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o judge_v aright_o of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o grace_n that_o we_o have_v we_o shall_v go_v amiss_o else_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a except_o we_o have_v the_o spirit_n to_o help_v and_o assist_v we_o and_o so_o we_o grow_v from_o assurance_n to_o assurance_n now_o for_o the_o second_o part_n that_o we_o must_v grow_v in_o all_o these_o first_o as_o faith_n admit_v of_o degree_n so_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o grow_v in_o all_o these_o degree_n first_o labour_n to_o grow_v to_o a_o more_o full_a and_o

so_o that_o the_o more_o strong_a assent_n the_o mind_n and_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n give_v to_o those_o truth_n which_o concern_v justification_n deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o strong_a his_o will_n be_v in_o take_v christ_n as_o in_o the_o act_n of_o marriage_n a_o woman_n take_v such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v her_o husband_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v degree_n in_o the_o will_n

the_o assent_n be_v that_o we_o give_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n wherein_o christ_n be_v offer_v free_o unto_o we_o the_o more_o

to_o suffer_v a_o little_a for_o christ_n sake_n when_o they_o come_v to_o such_o a_o action_n as_o confess_v his_o name_n when_o they_o come_v to_o endure_v but_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o to_o be_v

when_o the_o praise_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o competition_n with_o any_o command_n of_o god_n when_o god_n shall_v put_v he_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o

four_o thing_n you_o may_v conclude_v that_o your_o faith_n be_v effectual_a the_o last_o thing_n i_o propound_v be_v to_o show_v how_o this_o be_v wrought_v wrought_v how_o our_o faith_n be_v make_v

we_o strive_v against_o it_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o resist_v it_o so_o that_o if_o god_n

what_o you_o will_v to_o he_o when_o any_o such_o exigent_n come_v you_o shall_v never_o draw_v he_o from_o his_o wealth_n from_o his_o friend_n from_o his_o worldly_a credit_n because_o he_o make_v

may_v be_v it_o will_v not_o be_v enough_o i_o will_v come_v a_o little_a to_o instance_n instance_n suppose_v a_o man_n come_v to_o such_o a_o turn_n as_o those_o in_o john_n 12.12_o 12.12_o many_o of_o the_o chief_a ruler_n believe_v in_o he_o but_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n put_v the_o case_n that_o thou_o be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o that_o thou_o be_v bring_v now_o to_o such_o a_o trial_n now_o if_o thy_o faith_n be_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o they_o have_v that_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o thou_o want_v faith_n indeed_o take_v two_o man_n the_o one_o will_v be_v content_a to_o be_v cast_v out_o he_o will_v confess_v christ_n come_v what_o will_v of_o it_o another_o man_n when_o it_o come_v to_o such_o a_o competition_n that_o either_o he_o must_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n or_o deny_v christ_n he_o will_v rather_o leave_v that_o then_o the_o other_o he_o will_v rather_o part_v with_o christ_n he_o will_v rather_o forsake_v he_o &_o the_o confession_n of_o he_o then_o endure_v such_o trouble_n so_o again_o instance_n come_v to_o a_o matter_n of_o praise_n of_o man_n to_o a_o matter_n of_o credit_n when_o a_o man_n see_v that_o this_o be_v his_o condition_n in_o the_o place_n he_o live_v in_o and_o consider_v if_o i_o serve_v god_n indeed_o if_o i_o go_v through_o in_o

for_o to_o be_v hate_v of_o some_o man_n a_o man_n may_v bear_v it_o well_o enough_o but_o to_o have_v all_o man_n hand_n against_o he_o to_o be_v exclude_v of_o all_o good_a company_n as_o they_o say_v such_o a_o thing_n a_o man_n shall_v have_v much_o ado_n to_o bear_v to_o lose_v all_o his_o worldly_a credit_n all_o his_o friend_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o such_o a_o case_n one_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o bear_v these_o because_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v trust_v say_v paul_n therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o undergo_v all_o shame_n to_o endure_v imprisonment_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n another_o man_n do_v not_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v not_o endure_v he_o will_v leave_v religion_n he_o will_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o may_v breed_v this_o trouble_n he_o will_v mince_v the_o matter_n he_o will_v leave_v that_o that_o he_o may_v secure_v himself_o and_o keep_v his_o credit_n that_o he_o have_v among_o man_n instance_n so_o again_o come_v to_o matter_n of_o commodity_n let_v matter_n of_o profit_n or_o advantage_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o man_n estate_n be_v offer_v see_v the_o different_a condition_n

they_o will_v be_v advantage_n to_o he_o he_o see_v they_o present_a that_o be_v the_o thing_n he_o feel_v he_o believe_v not_o the_o other_o therefore_o he_o do_v that_o and_o so_o for_o balaam_n when_o the_o case_n come_v that_o either_o he_o must_v curse_v the_o people_n or_o else_o forsake_v the_o wage_n of_o unrighteousness_n sure_o he_o will_v have_v respect_n to_o the_o wage_n of_o
