it_o be_v more_o needful_a to_o have_v be_v hear_v in_o jerusalem_n by_o the_o priest_n scribes_z and_o pharisee_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o but_o rather_o contemn_v and_o despiteful_o use_v he_o first_o it_o be_v requisite_a and_o necessary_a that_o these_o answ_n 1_o disciple_n shall_v hear_v this_o voice_n that_o this_o faith_n which_o they_o be_v to_o confess_v may_v be_v confirm_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o revelation_n and_o voice_n of_o the_o father_n these_o apostle_n be_v to_o be_v christ_n chief_a witness_n and_o be_v indeed_o the_o three_o chief_a apostle_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o need_n that_o they_o shall_v hear_v this_o voice_n both_o for_o their_o own_o further_a confirmation_n in_o faith_n and_o for_o the_o edification_n and_o

that_o none_o may_v judge_v we_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o or_o high_o conceit_v of_o ourselves_o answ_n 2_o second_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v it_o yet_o discover_v lest_o for_o the_o greatness_n and_o wonderfulnesse_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v believe_v and_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o divulge_v it_o until_o as_o wonderful_a a_o thing_n as_o this_o be_v know_v unto_o many_o namely_o that_o by_o his_o own_o power_n he_o conquer_v death_n and_o rise_v from_o the_o grave_n vers._n 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o and_o his_o disciple_n ask_v he_o say_v verse_n 10.11.12.13_o why_o then_o say_v the_o scribe_n that_o elias_n must_v first_o come_v and_o jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o elias_n true_o shall_v first_o come_v and_o

disciple_n understand_v that_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o of_o john_n the_o baptist_n we_o must_v here_o observe_v that_o the_o jew_n expect_v elias_n tishbite_v to_o be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o

they_o have_v do_v to_o he_o what_o they_o please_v object_n not_o only_a jew_n but_o some_o christian_n also_o hold_v that_o elias_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v and_o among_o many_o christopher_z castrus_n the_o jesuite_n on_o malach._n 4.8_o conclude_v it_o because_o it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o expectation_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n who_o say_v that_o elias_n shall_v come_v before_o christ_n glorious_a appear_v answ_n 1_o first_o the_o jew_n do_v expect_v the_o come_n of_o their_o messiah_n to_o be_v glorious_a in_o all_o worldly_a pomp_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o they_o expect_v the_o come_n of_o elias_n therefore_o he_o must_v come_v answ_n 2_o second_o our_o saviour_n indeed_o say_v here_o elias_n true_o shall_v first_o come_v and_o restore_v all_o thing_n but_o though_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v after_o john_n th●_n baptist_n be_v behead_v yet_o christ_n mean_v not_o that_o elias_n shall_v come_v corporal_o but_o in_o answer_v his_o disciple_n he_o propound_v the_o objection_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o they_o before_o allege_v more_o brief_o and_o speak_v according_a to_o their_o opinion_n elias_n indeed_o shall_v come_v and_o then_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v he_o say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n thus_o in_o effect_n by_o way_n of_o correction_n whatsoever_o the_o scribe_n say_v or_o affirm_v concern_v elias_n his_o bodily_a come_n be_v not_o literal_o to_o be_v understand_v but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o elias_n be_v come_v already_o and_o what_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n here_o he_o say_v to_o the_o people_n matth._n 11.14_o if_o you_o will_v receive_v it_o this_o be_v elias_n which_o be_v for_o to_o come_v he_o fore-knew_a that_o some_o will_v not_o believe_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o say_v if_o you_o will_v receive_v it_o this_o be_v elias_n this_o john_n who_o then_o do_v live_v be_v elias_n not_o which_o shall_v come_v for_o this_o be_v the_o exposition_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o

i_o §_o 1._o o_o faithless_a generation_n sect._n 1_o what_o faith_n be_v this_o which_o christ_n desire_v in_o his_o disciple_n quest_n and_o for_o the_o want_n whereof_o he_o upbraid_v they_o for_o if_o this_o faith_n be_v the_o faith_n of_o miracle_n than_o christ_n seem_v to_o be_v to_o blame_v to_o be_v angry_a for_o the_o want_n of_o this_o faith_n in_o any_o see_v neither_o every_o believer_n have_v this_o faith_n nor_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v it_o again_o if_o this_o faith_n which_o christ_n desire_v be_v the_o justify_v faith_n than_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o less_o to_o blame_v because_o he_o require_v of_o they_o who_o have_v justify_v faith_n that_o they_o believe_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o object_n of_o a_o justify_v faith_n namely_o miraculous_a effect_n as_o to_o cast_v out_o devil_n and_o the_o like_a first_o hereunto_o we_o answer_v that_o faith_n in_o general_a answ_n 1_o be_v a_o firm_a sure_a and_o constant_a assent_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o we_o give_v unto_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n second_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v either_o declare_v answ_n 2_o and_o show_v or_o promise_v and_o hence_o arise_v a_o distinction_n of_o faith_n for_o we_o either_o believe_v god_n when_o he_o show_v any_o thing_n unto_o we_o or_o when_o he_o promise_v any_o thing_n unto_o we_o i._o we_o believe_v those_o thing_n which_o god_n declare_v and_o show_v unto_o we_o whether_o bypass_a or_o to_o come_v as_o that_o the_o world_n be_v create_v and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o

in_o need_n thereof_o here_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v distinguish_v or_o particular_o observe_v namely_o first_o that_o the_o church_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o reformation_n which_o appear_v thus_o i._o the_o whole_a truth_n be_v not_o reveal_v unto_o the_o church_n at_o once_o but_o by_o little_a and_o little_a for_o there_o be_v nothing_o altogether_o perfect_a ii_o there_o daily_o

either_o unto_o the_o former_a error_n or_o unto_o worse_a and_o therefore_o every_o particular_a national_a church_n ever_o and_o anon_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o reformation_n second_o the_o leader_n
