be_v the_o stay_n we_o leave_v unto_o that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o light_n if_o we_o do_v but_o only_o keep_v this_o name_n diligent_o well_o and_o not_o go_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

the_o same_o yet_o for_o their_o sake_n in_o who_o there_o be_v some_o good_a hope_n of_o amendment_n i_o will_v answer_v somewhat_o to_o this_o doubt_n or_o question_n first_o of_o all_o the_o papist_n themselves_o must_v needs_o grant_n that_o these_o friend_n of_o who_o christ_n speak_v here_o be_v man_n reason_n which_o be_v conversant_a among_o us._n for_o otherwise_o can_v we_o geve_v

the_o word_n of_o christ_n which_o can_v not_o be_v change_v nor_o call_v into_o question_n make_v you_o friend_n of_o wicked_a mammon_n say_v he_o that_o when_o you_o fail_v they_o may_v receive_v you_o into_o the_o everlasting_a tabernacle_n but_o how_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v christ_n teach_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o s._n matthew_n where_o he_o say_v 25._o that_o he_o himself_o at_o the_o last_o day_n will_v come_v forth_o &_o testify_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v do_v in_o our_o life_n time_n to_o his_o poor_a member_n we_o do_v it_o unto_o he_o and_o that_o he_o will_v abundantlye_o recompense_v it_o with_o the_o reward_n of_o everlasting_a life_n not_o that_o you_o have_v deserve_v the_o same_o by_o our_o work_n but_o for_o his_o promise_n sake_n as_o he_o say_v come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n possess_v the_o kingdom_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o you_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n but_o here_o be_v a_o difference_n to_o be_v make_v in_o this_o question_n for_o the_o right_n and_o true_a friend_n which_o be_v both_o able_a &_o also_o will_v geve_v we_o heaven_n be_v christ_n this_o be_v without_o all_o peradventure_o as_o for_o the_o poor_a beggar_n who_o we_o have_v holpen_v with_o our_o good_n in_o this_o world_n they_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o but_o here_o rise_v a_o other_o question_n whether_o we_o by_o our_o almose_n and_o other_o good_a work_n be_v able_a to_o deserve_v heaven_n and_o everlasting_a life_n this_o question_n be_v soon_o answer_v paul_n say_v whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n 4._o be_v sin_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o god_n do_v not_o allow_v thou_o almose_n of_o the_o unfaithful_a again_o that_o he_o will_v not_o geve_v heaven_n and_o everla_a life_n for_o that_o but_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o afterward_o declare_v their_o faith_n by_o their_o work_n their_o work_n please_v god_n for_o their_o faith_n sake_n and_o he_o will_v also_o reward_v such_o work_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o this_o do_v not_o hereof_o follow_v that_o everlasting_a life_n be_v give_v we_o for_o our_o work_n sake_n for_o that_o be_v annex_v only_o unto_o faith_n as_o in_o the_o gospel_n he_o do_v oftentimes_o testify_v he_o that_o beleve_v in_o i_o say_v he_o shall_v never_o see_v death_n i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n 14._o god_n deliver_v his_o son_n that_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n this_o be_v a_o true_a certain_a and_o sure_a solution_n for_o paul_n sentence_n be_v 14._o as_o we_o hear_v before_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n therefore_o if_o any_o almose_n shall_v please_v god_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v first_o of_o all_o faith_n in_o christ._n faith_n that_o faith_n have_v everlasting_a life_n follow_v it_o it_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o cause_v that_o god_n alow_v our_o work_n although_o they_o be_v

labourer_n and_o geve_v they_o their_o hire_n begin_v at_o the_o last_o until_o the_o first_o and_o when_o they_o do_v come_v that_o come_v about_o the_o eleven_o hour_n they_o receyve_v every_o man_n

which_o have_v bear_v the_o burden_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n but_o he_o answer_v unto_o one_o of_o they_o and_o say_v friend_n i_o do_v thou_o no_o wrong_n do_v thou_o not_o agree_v with_o i_o for_o a_o penny_n take_v that_o thy_o be_v and_o go_v thy_o way_n i_o will_v geve_v unto_o this_o last_o even_o as_o unto_o thou_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v as_o i_o lu_v with_o

the_o exposition_n the_o mean_v of_o this_o gospel_n be_v very_o profound_a &_o high_a whereby_o youth_n and_o the_o rude_a people_n can_v not_o learn_v much_o and_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v learn_v at_o this_o time_n we_o will_v speak_v somewhat_o thereof_o we_o hear_v in_o this_o parable_n how_o the_o householder_n go_v forth_o in_o the_o morning_n and_o hire_v

but_o one_o hour_n as_o to_o the_o first_o that_o agree_v with_o he_o for_o a_o penny_n a_o day_n this_o seem_v against_o reason_n to_o the_o world_n which_o follow_v this_o rule_n he_z that_o do_v much_o work_n must_v have_v much_o reward_n or_o wage_n he_o that_o do_v little_a must_v have_v little_a and_o yet_o can_v no_o man_n there_o complain_v of_o wrong_n if_o that_o be_v pay_v to_o any_o that_o be_v due_a to_o one_o and_o to_o a_o other_o that_o be_v not_o due_a howbeit_o to_o geve_v equal_a wage_n where_o as_o be_v not_o equal_a labour_n be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n that_o bid_v to_o geve_v to_o every_o man_n his_o due_n christ_n reherse_v this_o parable_n to_o show_v a_o difference_n between_o his_o kingdom_n &_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o teach_v that_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o his_o kingdom_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o world_n whereas_o can_v not_o be_v have_v such_o equality_n unlyke_a by_o reason_n that_o the_o degree_n &_o

have_v no_o more_o interest_n in_o this_o kingdom_n than_o the_o other_z but_o in_o the_o corporal_n &_o civil_a life_n it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v inequality_n even_o as_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o degree_n the_o husband_n life_n be_v unlike_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o citisen_n likewise_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o knight_n here_o can_v be_v no_o equality_n neither_o must_v we_o go_v about_o to_o seek_v it_o but_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n whether_o he_o be_v king_n or_o prince_n lord_n or_o seruamt_v mastresse_n or_o handmaid_n or_o any_o such_o like_a they_o be_v all_o equal_a for_o we_o all_o have_v one_o baptism_n one_o faith_n one_o gospel_n one_o sacrament_n one_o christ_n one_o god_n for_o all_o alike_o aswell_o the_o great_a

we_o be_v all_o equal_a but_o before_o the_o world_n this_o difference_n must_v needs_o be_v have_v that_o the_o father_n be_v better_o than_o the_o son_n &_o the_o master_n better_o than_o the_o
