judgement_n christ_n do_v not_o here_o assign_v any_o certain_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o he_o take_v a_o testimony_n from_o the_o common_a doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n for_o so_o

that_o we_o must_v not_o discuss_v all_o the_o property_n of_o a_o vine_n but_o that_o we_o must_v only_o see_v summary_o to_o what_o end_n christ_n appli_v this_o similitude_n there_o be_v three_o principal_a part_n thereof_o that_o we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v good_a but_o from_o he_o that_o the_o father_n do_v trim_a we_o by_o purge_v we_o have_v root_n in_o he_o that_o he_o take_v away_o the_o unfruiteful_a branch_n that_o they_o may_v burn_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n all_o man_n almost_o be_v ashamed_a to_o deny_v that_o they_o have_v all_o that_o goodness_n which_o they_o have_v of_o god_n but_o they_o do_v afterward_o feign_v that_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a grace_n give_v they_o as_o if_o it_o be_v natural_o engender_v in_o they_o and_o christ_n stand_v chief_o upon_o this_o point_n that_o the_o vital_a sap_n flow_v from_o he_o alone_o whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v unfruitful_a and_o void_a of_o all_o goodness_n because_o none_o taste_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o vine_n until_o he_o be_v ingraft_v into_o he_o but_o this_o be_v give_v only_o to_o the_o elect_v by_o a_o special_a grace_n therefore_o the_o

themselves_o in_o vain_a in_o seek_v strength_n else_o where_o because_o there_o shall_v come_v no_o profitable_a fruit_n from_o any_o other_o save_v only_o from_o the_o branch_n which_o spring_n

and_o make_v they_o careful_a by_o these_o word_n when_o as_o he_o pronounce_v that_o all_o unfruitefull_a branch_n shall_v be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o vine_n but_o here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v move_v whether_o he_o can_v be_v without_o fruit_n that_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n or_o no._n i_o answer_v that_o man_n do_v think_v that_o many_o be_v in_o the_o vine_n who_o have_v indeed_o no_o root_n in_o the_o vine_n so_o the_o lord_n call_v his_o people_n israel_n in_o the_o prophet_n his_o vineyard_n who_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n in_o external_a profession_n and_o whosoever_o bring_v fruit_n in_o these_o word_n he_o teach_v that_o the_o faithful_a have_v need_v continual_o to_o be_v trim_v lest_o they_o grow_v out_o of_o kind_n and_o that_o they_o can_v bring_v forth_o no_o good_a thing_n unless_o the_o lord_n do_v oftentimes_o set_v to_o his_o hand_n to_o trim_a they_o neither_o shall_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o we_o be_v once_o make_v partaker_n of_o adoption_n unless_o god_n continue_v the_o course_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o us._n he_o make_v mention_n of_o prune_v because_o our_o flesh_n abound_v with_o superfluous_a and_o hurtful_a vice_n and_o be_v too_o full_a of_o they_o which_o grow_v and_o spring_v up_o without_o end_n unless_o we_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n when_o as_o he_o say_v that_o the_o vine_n be_v prune_v that_o they_o may_v bring_v more_o plentiful_a fruit_n he_o teach_v how_o the_o godly_a aught_o to_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o course_n of_o godliness_n 3_o now_o you_o be_v clean_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o have_v already_o try_v that_o which_o he_o have_v say_v because_o be_v plant_v in_o he_o they_o be_v also_o purge_v he_o show_v the_o mean_n of_o this_o purge_n to_o wit_n doctrine_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o external_a preach_n when_o as_o he_o express_v in_o plain_a word_n the_o word_n which_o they_o have_v hear_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n not_o that_o man_n voice_n have_v so_o great_a efficacy_n in_o itself_o when_o it_o be_v utter_v with_o the_o mouth_n but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o christe_o work_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n the_o voice_n itself_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o purge_v nevertheless_o christ_n do_v not_o mean_a that_o the_o apostle_n be_v free_a
have_v appoint_v you_o to_o go_v and_o bring_v fruit_n and_o that_o your_o fruit_n may_v remain_v that_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v ask_v of_o the_o father_n in_o my_o name_n he_o may_v give_v it_o

they_o be_v adopt_v to_o be_v y_z e_z child_n of_o god_n but_o of_o the_o particular_a election_n whereby_o he_o ordain_v the_o disciple_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o if_o the_o apostle_n be_v choose_v free_o and_o for_o no_o merit_n of_o they_o unto_o that_o function_n we_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o the_o election_n be_v far_o more_o free_a whereby_o we_o be_v make_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o a_o accurse_a seed_n moreover_o christ_n do_v so_o commend_v in_o this_o place_n the_o grace_n whereby_o they_o be_v choose_v to_o be_v apostle_n that_o he_o join_v y_fw-mi ●_o former_a grace_n whereby_o they_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n with_o it_o yea_o he_o comprehend_v general_o in_o these_o word_n what_o

we_o have_v receive_v all_o that_o which_o we_o have_v at_o god_n hand_n and_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o that_o as_o well_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o all_o the_o par●es_n which_o follow_v thereupon_o do_v flow_v from_o his_o free_a mercy_n furthermore_o it_o appear_v plain_o thereby_o how_o true_a that_o sentence_n be_v that_o christ_n choose_v those_o to_o be_v apostle_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v most_o unfit_a of_o all_o man_n although_o he_o will_v have_v a_o perpetual_a monument_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o be_v extant_a in_o their_o person_n for_o

about_o their_o work_n the_o dignity_n of_o the_o apostleship_n be_v not_o idle_a but_o they_o be_v to_o strive_v with_o great_a strait_n therefore_o christ_n prick_v they_o forward_o that_o they_o may_v not_o fly_v from_o labour_n grief_n &_o danger_n this_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o end_n second_o christ_n reason_v from_o the_o effect_n when_o as_o he_o say_v and_o that_o you_o may_v
