christ_n do_v not_o only_o receive_v we_o into_o his_o own_o protection_n but_o commend_v we_o also_o to_o man_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o faithful_a be_v teach_v how_o they_o shall_v each_o

offend_v this_o seem_v to_o be_v add_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o godly_a lest_o their_o estate_n shall_v seem_v troublesome_a unto_o they_o if_o the_o world_n do_v despise_v they_o for_o this_o

hard_a if_o we_o be_v not_o only_o loathe_v but_o also_o tread_v under_o foot_n of_o proud_a man_n therefore_o christ_n encourage_v his_o disciple_n with_o this_o comfort_n that_o if_o the_o world_n despise_v their_o baseness_n yet_o god_n do_v not_o neglect_v they_o yet_o it_o also_o seem_v to_o tend_v to_o a_o other_o end_n for_o the_o strife_n begin_v of_o their_o superiority_n in_o honour_n whereof_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v infect_v with_o a_o wicked_a desire_n to_o be_v aloft_o also_o it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v reproachful_a to_o his_o brethren_n who_o soever_o please_v himself_o too_o much_o or_o desire_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o man_n to_o heal_v this_o disease_n christ_n denounce_v a_o horrible_a punishment_n if_o any_o man_n in_o his_o pride_n shall_v cast_v down_o poor_a man_n already_o humble_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n but_o he_o comprehend_v more_o under_o this_o word_n offence_n then_o if_o he_o have_v forbid_v the_o contempt_n of_o they_o though_o it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v careless_o offend_v the_o weak_a but_o because_o he_o yield_v not_o that_o regard_n &_o honour_n unto_o they_o that_o he_o shall_v now_o when_o there_o be_v sundry_a kind_n of_o offence_n yet_o what_o kind_n of_o thing_n a_o offence_n be_v be_v brief_o to_o be_v consider_v if_o through_o our_o defaut_n any_o man_n either_o stumble_v or_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o a_o right_a course_n or_o be_v hinder_v he_o we_o be_v say_v to_o offend_v therefore_o who_o soever_o desire_v to_o escape_v this_o punishment_n which_o christ_n denounce_v so_o severe_o let_v he_o reach_v his_o hand_n unto_o those_o little_a one_o which_o be_v hold_v as_o abject_n before_o the_o world_n &_o help_v they_o to_o run_v their_o course_n well_o for_o christ_n commend_v they_o unto_o we_o that_o they_o may_v be_v to_o we_o a_o example_n of_o willing_a humility_n even_o as_o paul_n give_v this_o rule_n to_o

himself_o and_o because_o christ_n set_v down_o that_o kind_n of_o punishment_n which_o be_v they_o most_o fearful_a &_o wherewith_o most_o heinous_a offence_n be_v punish_v we_o do_v thereby_o gather_v how_o dear_a &_o precious_a they_o be_v to_o god_n which_o be_v vile_a &_o despise_v before_o y_o e_o world_n 7._o woe_n be_v to_o the_o world_n because_o of_o offence_n this_o place_n may_v be_v expound_v ●_o way_n of_o the_o doer_n as_o if_o christ_n shall_v curse_v the_o author_n of_o the_o offence_n &_o so_o under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v all_o unbelever_n be_v

shall_v have_v say_v no_o pestilence_n shall_v be_v more_o dangerus_a nor_o shall_v bring_v mo_z misery_n then_o y_z t_z it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o in_o any_o shall_v be_v trouble_v or_o fall_v away_o through_o offence_n and_o this_o sense_n do_v better_a agree_v with_o the_o place_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v of_o offence_n in_o the_o other_o sense_n he_o will_v have_v speak_v more_o at_o large_a that_o he_o may_v make_v his_o more_o diligent_a &_o careful_a to_o beware_v therefore_o lest_o satan_n shall_v take_v we_o or_o we_o be_v aware_a the_o lord_n cry_v out_o that_o nothing_o be_v more_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o we_o than_o offence_n for_o as_o sathan_n have_v many_o at_o hand_n so_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o throw_v new_a before_o we_o almost_o at_o every_o step_n &_o we_o as_o creature_n too_o weak_a or_o sluggish_a do_v easy_o fall_v at_o they_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o do_v make_v any_o mean_a proceeding_n in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o those_o few_o which_o do_v enter_v into_o the_o course_n of_o salvation_n scarce_o every_o 10._o do_v come_v to_o the_o

baptism_n but_o the_o end_n which_o he_o propose_v here_o be_v large_a for_o so_o it_o become_v to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n the_o word_n righteousness_n do_v often_o signify_v as_o much_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o observe_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o this_o place_n may_v be_v expound_v that_o it_o become_v christ_n in_o that_o he_o willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o law_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o in_o every_o point_n yet_o i_o have_v rather_o take_v the_o same_o more_o simple_o in_o this_o manner_n as_o if_o christ_n shall_v have_v say_v omit_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o my_o dignity_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o which_o of_o we_o two_o excel_v other_o but_o we_o must_v rather_o look_v what_o our_o calling_n require_v &_o what_o be_v enjoin_v we_o of_o god_n the_o father_n for_o this_o be_v the_o general_a cause_n why_o christ_n be_v baptize_v that_o he_o may_v perform_v obedience_n to_o his_o father_n &_o the_o special_a cause_n be_v that_o he_o in_o his_o own_o body_n may_v consecrate_v baptism_n that_o it_o may_v be_v common_a to_o we_o with_o he_o 14._o i_o have_v need_n to_o be_v baptize_v of_o thou_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o john_n know_v christ_n to_o be_v not_o only_o a_o notable_a prophet_n as_o many_o do_v foolish_o dream_v but_o for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v otherwise_o he_o shall_v have_v 〈…〉_o to_o god_n submit_v his_o holy_a call_n to_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o how_o he_o know_v this_o let_v the_o reader_n learn_v out_o of_o the_o 1._o cha_n 15._o of_o john_n and_o this_o be_v a_o probable_a cause_n of_o refusal_n that_o christ_n have_v no_o need_n of_o baptism_n but_o in_o this_o do_v john_n fail_v that_o he_o consider_v not_o that_o he_o demand_v baptism_n for_o other_o sake_n therefore_o christ_n command_v he_o to_o consider_v what_o belong_v to_o he_o that_o occupi_v the_o place_n of_o a_o servant_n because_o that_o a_o voluntary_a subjection_n do_v derogate_v nothing_o from_o his_o glory_n and_o although_o in_o that_o so_o great_a a_o man_n some_o part_n of_o his_o office_n be_v hide_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o that_o particular_a error_n shall_v not_o hinder_v the_o baptist_n but_o that_o

sometime_o take_v for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o here_o also_o it_o signify_v a_o division_n of_o the_o visible_a heaven_n so_o that_o john_n may_v see_v somewhat_o above_o the_o planet_n &_o the_o star_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o mark_n word_n can_v be_v other_o who_o say_v that_o he_o see_v the_o heaven_n cleave_v in_o twain_o but_o more_o narow_o to_o

a_o token_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n further_n when_o the_o evangelist_n say_v that_o john_n see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o heaven_n be_v especial_o open_v for_o

of_o all_o power_n thirdlye_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o we_o have_v not_o a_o baptism_n common_a to_o christ_n &_o to_o we_o see_v it_o sufficient_o appear_v that_o by_o this_o seal_n he_o

which_o i_o say_v before_o that_o john_n here_o simple_o discern_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n from_o himself_o and_o all_o other_o minister_n of_o baptism_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v above_o the_o servant_n and_o here_o be_v gather_v a_o general_a doctrine_n what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n in_o baptism_n and_o what_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o the_o only_a

improper_o assign_v that_o to_o man_n which_o john_n here_o challenge_v to_o christ_n alone_o &_o affirm_v that_o belong_v not_o to_o man_n but_o they_o the_o scripture_n wai_v not_o what_o special_o man_n have_v of_o himself_o but_o simple_o teach_v the_o power_n &_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o how_o god_n work_v with_o his_o spirit_n through_o the_o same_o but_o here_o be_v a_o

more_o bend_v to_o any_o thing_n then_o to_o adorn_v the_o creature_n with_o those_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o this_o observation_n shall_v help_v we_o out_o of_o many_o difficulty_n we_o know_v how_o great_a jar_n there_o be_v in_o our_o age_n about_o the_o use_n &_o effecacy_n of_o the_o sign_n all_o which_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o whole_a institution_n of_o the_o lord_n comprehend_v the_o author_n himself_o and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n together_o with_o the_o figure_n and_o the_o minister_n but_o whereas_o the_o minister_n be_v compare_v with_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v all_o &_o the_o minister_n bring_v to_o nothing_o ●●_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n it_o be_v demand_v why_o john_n also_o say_v not_o that_o it_o be_v only_a christ_n which_o wash_v our_o soul_n with_o his_o blood_n namely_o because_o that_o the_o wash_n also_o itself_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v sufficient_a by_o the_o only_a name_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o express_v the_o whole_a effect_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o meaning_n be_v plain_a that_o christ_n alone_o do_v geve_v what_o grace_n so_o ever_o the_o outward_a baptism_n do_v figure_n because_o that_o he_o sprinkle_v the_o conscience_n with_o his_o blood_n and_o he_o himself_o mortify_v the_o old_a man_n and_o geve_v the_o

since_o many_o hypocrite_n do_v proud_o refuse_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n offer_v they_o it_o be_v also_o necessary_a to_o pronounce_v unto_o they_o that_o vengeance_n which_o remain_v for_o they_o for_o this_o cause_n john_n do_v here_o describe_v christ_n as_o a_o severe_a judge_n against_o the_o unbelever_n and_o this_o order_n of_o teach_v must_v be_v observe_v of_o we_o that_o the_o

gospel_n therefore_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o fan_n because_o that_o before_o the_o lord_n sift_v we_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v full_a of_o confusion_n every_o man_n seek_v to_o

while_o he_o reprove_v the_o conscience_n and_o cit_v to_o the_o tribunal_n seat_n of_o god_n the_o chaff_n be_v fan_v away_o which_o before_o cover_v the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o floor_n and_o though_o the_o gospel_n purge_v every_o man_n from_o chaff_n yet_o john_n here_o compare_v the_o reprobate_a to_o chaff_n and_o the_o faithful_a to_o wheat_n furthermore_o the_o floor_n be_v not_o

john_n warn_v they_o that_o they_o do_v foolish_o to_o be_v proud_a because_o that_o they_o possess_v a_o place_n for_o a_o time_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n out_o of_o the_o which_o they_o be_v short_o to_o be_v throw_v as_o chaff_n out_o of_o the_o floor_n in_o this_o manner_n he_o reprehend_v the_o corrupt_a state_n of_o the_o church_n because_o that_o it_o be_v full_a of_o husk_n weed_n and_o other_o filthy_a thing_n but_o be_v present_o to_o be_v purge_v with_o the_o lively_a voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o how_o be_v christ_n say_v to_o purge_v the_o chaff_n from_o the_o wheat_n who_o can_v find_v nothing_o in_o man_n but_o mere_a chaff_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a the_o elect_n be_v make_v into_o wheat_n that_o they_o be_v take_v from_o the_o chaff_n may_v be_v gather_v
