so_o i_o can_v undertake_v to_o defend_v it_o therefore_o i_o deliver_v it_o up_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o reader_n without_o any_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v own_o innocency_n to_o protect_v

be_v call_v the_o principal_a mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n viz._n because_o in_o these_o two_o consist_v our_o whole_a happiness_n the_o one_o be_v happiness_n itself_o the_o other_o the_o way_n to_o it_o he_o that_o know_v these_o two_o mystery_n as_o he_o ought_v know_v enough_o though_o he_o know_v nothing_o else_o because_o he_o know_v all_o that_o be_v requisite_a to_o make_v he_o happy_a and_o he_o that_o know_v not_o these_o know_v nothing_o though_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n beside_o though_o he_o know_v all_o philosophy_n though_o he_o know_v how_o to_o heap_v together_o mountain_n of_o riches_n though_o he_o know_v how_o to_o conquer_v kingdom_n because_o he_o do_v not_o know_v that_o which_o only_o concern_v he_o to_o know_v i._n e._n wherein_o consist_v his_o eternal_a welfare_n a_o christian_n shall_v have_v always_o two_o thing_n in_o his_o mind_n viz._n god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n god_n in_o who_o and_o jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o he_o be_v to_o be_v happy_a god_n who_o be_v his_o end_n and_o christ_n who_o be_v his_o way_n the_o knowledge_n and_o due_a consideration_n of_o these_o two_o point_n be_v the_o source_n of_o life_n everlasting_a as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o john_n 17._o v_o 3._o this_o be_v life_n everlasting_a that_o they_o know_v thou_o the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o want_n of_o this_o knowledge_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o the_o want_n of_o a_o true_a reflection_n upon_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o perdition_n to_o all_o those_o that_o perish_v traveller_n must_v needs_o lose_v themselves_o that_o neither_o know_v their_o end_n nor_o their_o way_n these_o two_o mystery_n do_v contain_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o creed_n whether_o we_o regard_v the_o importance_n of_o the_o matter_n or_o the_o number_n of_o article_n for_o of_o the_o twelve_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o these_o be_v eight_o therefore_o at_o

and_o that_o shall_v fill_v up_o the_o time_n we_o have_v leave_v for_o this_o day_n entertainment_n it_o be_v to_o tell_v you_o how_o we_o may_v keep_v a_o perpetual_a memory_n of_o these_o two_o

i_o have_v not_o authority_n to_o define_v but_o certain_a it_o be_v first_o that_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o shall_v be_v a_o mark_n of_o distinction_n between_o the_o elect_a and_o the_o reprobate_n at_o the_o great_a discern_a day_n second_o it_o be_v no_o less_o certain_a that_o the_o holy_a father_n do_v take_v they_o both_o for_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o reason_n persuade_v into_o this_o belief_n otherwise_o i_o think_v no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o this_o sign_n shall_v have_v the_o name_n of_o tau_n a_o letter_n which_o at_o that_o time_n the_o prophet_n write_v do_v represent_v the_o cross_n as_o our_o capital_a t_o do_v at_o present_a and_o what_o sign_n peculiar_a to_o the_o live_a god_n beside_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o why_o it_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o forehead_n of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v a_o cross_n i_o think_v no_o body_n can_v determine_v hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o all_o that_o be_v find_v mark_v with_o the_o cross_n at_o the_o great_a day_n shall_v be_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o almighty_a god._n but_o those_o that_o be_v find_v

be_v leave_v a_o prey_n to_o they_o but_o now_o i_o must_v desire_v you_o not_o to_o mistake_v i_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o bare_a sign_n of_o the_o cross_n separate_v from_o faith_n and_o other_o pious_a disposition_n of_o the_o mind_n shall_v be_v a_o protection_n to_o any_o body_n in_o the_o day_n of_o revenge_n and_o therefore_o to_o perform_v what_o i_o promise_v in_o the_o

of_o it_o st._n paul_n rom._n 2._o blame_v the_o jew_n for_o put_v too_o much_o confidence_n in_o the_o outward_a circumcision_n of_o their_o flesh_n as_o if_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v
