counsel_n the_o speech_n must_v be_v resolve_v thus_o whereas_o i_o have_v translate_v by_o strive_v to_o help_v the_o faith_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o endeavour_n to_o keep_v the_o faith_n and_o to_o endure_v strong_o the_o contrary_a assault_n of_o satan_n for_o he_o teach_v that_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v remain_v steadfast_a in_o the_o faith_n they_o must_v undergo_v many_o conflict_n and_o that_o continual_a trouble_n wait_v upon_o they_o he_o say_v the_o faith_n once_o give_v that_o they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o it_o upon_o this_o condition_n that_o they_o never_o faint_v or_o fall_v away_o creptein_n albeit_o that_o satan_n be_v always_o malicious_a against_o the_o godly_a and_o therefore_o do_v not_o cease_v to_o provoke_v they_o yet_o he_o admonish_v they_o to_o who_o he_o write_v of_o the_o present_a necessity_n now_o he_o say_v satan_n do_v especial_o set_v upon_o you_o and_o provoke_v you_o you_o must_v therefore_o take_v armour_n to_o resist_v he_o here_o we_o gather_v that_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a pastor_n must_v wifely_a foresee_v what_o the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o church_n do_v require_v that_o he_o may_v thereto_o apply_v his_o doctrine_n the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o he_o use_v do_v note_v a_o sinister_a and_o secret_a creep_v in_o whereby_o the_o minister_n of_o satan_n

the_o end_n they_o may_v the_o easely_o fall_v in_o condemn_a before_o he_o call_v the_o judgement_n either_o damnation_n or_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n whereby_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o perverte_v the_o doctrine_n of_o goodliness_n and_o that_o can_v no_o man_n do_v but_o to_o his_o own_o destruction_n further_o this_o metaphour_n be_v take_v from_o thence_o whereby_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n by_o which_o the_o faithful_a be_v ordain_v to_o salvation_n be_v call_v a_o book_n and_o when_o the_o faiethfull_a hear_v that_o they_o be_v avow_a to_o eternal_a death_n they_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n to_o themselves_o lest_o they_o endanger_v themselves_o with_o the_o same_o destruction_n albeit_o jude_n mean_v also_o to_o meet_v with_o a_o peril_n lest_o the_o strangeness_n of_o the_o matter_n may_v move_v or_o trouble_v any_o for_o if_o they_o be_v of_o old_a ordain_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n be_v not_o exercise_v but_o by_o the_o assure_a counsel_n of_o god_n the_o grace_n of_o our_o god_n now_o he_o show_v more_o plain_o what_o manner_n of_o mischief_n it_o be_v for_o he_o say_v that_o they_o abuse_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o may_v give_v over_o themselves_o and_o other_o to_o a_o impure_a and_o profane_a liberty_n to_o sin_n but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v far_o to_o a_o other_o end_n that_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldelie_o lust_n and_o live_v sober_o just_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n let_v we_o therefore_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o pestilent_a than_o this_o kind_n of_o man_n which_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n pretend_v a_o liberty_n to_o sin_n because_o we_o teach_v that_o by_o the_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n we_o obtain_v salvation_n the_o papist_n accuse_v we_o of_o this_o fault_n but_o what_o avail_v it_o to_o refel_v their_o impudency_n with_o word_n when_o every_o where_o we_o urge_v repentance_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o they_o do_v not_o only_o corrupt_v the_o whole_a world_n with_o most_o vile_a example_n but_o also_o they_o take_v from_o the_o world_n by_o their_o wicked_a doctrine_n true_a holiness_n and_o the_o right_a worship_n of_o god_n albeit_o i_o think_v that_o they_o of_o who_o jude_n speak_v be_v like_a to_o the_o libertine_n of_o our_o time_n as_o it_o will_v more_o plain_o appear_v by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o text_n god_n which_o be_v only_a lord_n certain_a old_a copy_n have_v christ_n which_o be_v only_a god_n and_o lord_n and_o in_o deed_n in_o the_o second_o epistle_n of_o peter_n there_o be_v only_a mention_n of_o christ_n and_o there_o he_o be_v call_v lord_n he_o mean_v that_o christ_n be_v deny_v when_o they_o who_o be_v redeem_v with_o his_o blood_n do_v again_o embondage_n themselves_o to_o the_o devil_n and_o make_v void_a as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o they_o that_o inestimable_a price_n therefore_o that_o christ_n may_v retain_v we_o in_o his_o own_o possession_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o he_o therefore_o die_v for_o we_o and_o rise_v again_o that_o he_o may_v rule_v over_o our_o life_n and_o death_n 5_o i_o will_v put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n for_o as_o much_o as_o you_o know_v this_o how_o that_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v his_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n he_o destroy_v they_o afterwards_o which_o believe_v not_o 6_o and_o the_o angel_n which_o keep_v not_o their_o first_o estate_n but_o leave_v their_o own_o habitation_n he_o have_v reserve_v in_o everlasting_a chain_n under_o darkness_n unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n 7_o as_o sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n and_o the_o citee_n about_o they_o which_o in_o like_a manner_n as_o they_o do_v commit_v and_o follow_v strange_a flesh_n be_v set_v forth_o for_o a_o example_n and_o endure_v the_o like_a vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n 5_o to_o put_v in_o mind_n he_o either_o excuse_v for_o modesty_n sake_n lest_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o teach_v they_o as_o rude_a people_n of_o thing_n which_o they_o know_v not_o or_o in_o deed_n which_o like_v i_o better_o for_o the_o more_o vehemency_n he_o testify_v that_o he_o do_v not_o bring_v they_o any_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o before_o to_o the_o end_n that_o that_o which_o he_o be_v to_o speak_v may_v have_v the_o more_o credit_n and_o authority_n he_o say_v i_o only_o bring_v to_o your_o remembrance_n those_o thing_n which_o you_o have_v learn_v already_o but_o as_o he_o do_v attribute_n unto_o they_o knowledge_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o watchful_a to_o take_v heed_n so_o jest_n they_o may_v think_v the_o labour_n which_o he_o undertake_v towards_o they_o to_o be_v needless_a he_o say_v they_o have_v need_n of_o admonition_n for_o this_o be_v not_o only_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v never_o teach_v but_o also_o that_o it_o may_v stir_v we_o up_o to_o meditate_v earnest_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v already_o and_o may_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v drowsy_a in_o fruitless_a knowledge_n and_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n that_o after_o we_o be_v call_v of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o scarce_o boast_v of_o his_o grace_n but_o rather_o walk_v careful_o in_o his_o fear_n because_o if_o any_o do_v mock_v god_n after_o this_o sort_n the_o contempt_n of_o his_o glory_n shall_v not_o go_v in_o vain_a he_o show_v this_o by_o three_o example_n for_o first_o he_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o punishment_n which_o god_n execute_v upon_o the_o unbeliever_n who_o be_v redeem_v by_o his_o power_n he_o have_v choose_v to_o be_v his_o people_n almost_o the_o like_a comparison_n be_v in_o paul_n in_o his_o first_o to_o the_o corinth_n the_o ten_o chapter_n the_o effect_n be_v those_o who_o god_n have_v adorn_v with_o great_a benefit_n who_o he_o have_v advance_v into_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o honour_n which_o he_o vouchsave_v we_o at_o this_o day_n he_o afterwards_o severe_o punish_v therefore_o they_o in_o vain_a boast_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n who_o soever_o do_v not_o answer_v unto_o his_o call_n the_o name_n of_o people_n be_v honourable_o take_v for_o a_o holy_a and_o choose_a nation_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v that_o it_o do_v not_o profit_v they_o that_o they_o be_v take_v into_o the_o covenaunt_n by_o a_o singular_a privilege_n when_o he_o call_v they_o unbelever_n he_o note_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o evilles_n for_o from_o thence_o say_v moses_n do_v proceed_v all_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o do_v not_o yield_v themselves_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o where_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n be_v it_o be_v together_o of_o necessity_n that_o there_o remain_v obedience_n towards_o god_n in_o every_o part_n of_o this_o life_n 6_o if_o not_o the_o angel_n a_o argument_n from_o the_o more_o to_o the_o less_o for_o the_o condition_n of_o angel_n be_v
now_o he_o say_v by_o faith_n we_o know_v the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o us._n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o fatherly_a love_n of_o god_n be_v apprehend_v in_o christ_n and_o that_o they_o know_v not_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o in_o christ_n for_o certain_a except_o it_o be_v only_o such_o as_o acknowledge_v themselves_o by_o his_o grace_n to_o be_v the_o child_n o●_n god_n for_o therefore_o the_o father_n do_v set_v forth_o his_o son_n unto_o we_o that_o he_o may_v adopt_v we_o in_o he_o god_n be_v love_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o less_o proposition_n in_o the_o syllogism_n because_o he_o reason_v from_o faith_n to_o love_n after_o this_o manner_n god_n dwell_v in_o we_o by_o faith_n but_o god_n be_v love_n therefore_o wheresoever_o god_n remain_v there_o love_n must_v needs_o flourish_v hereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o love_n be_v necessary_o knit_v unto_o faith_n 17_o in_o this_o be_v love_n perfect_a in_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v boldness_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o as_o he_o be_v we_o also_o be_v in_o this_o world_n 18_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n but_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o all_o fear_n because_o fear_n have_v painfulness_n in_o it_o and_o he_o that_o fear_v be_v not_o perfect_a in_o love_n 17_o there_o be_v two_o member_n of_o this_o speech_n that_o then_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a adoption_n when_o we_o so_o resemble_v god_n as_o child_n do_v their_o father_n and_o then_o that_o this_o boldness_n be_v a_o incomparable_a good_a because_o that_o without_o it_o we_o be_v most_o miserable_a therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o show_v upon_o what_o condition_n god_n have_v embrace_v we_o in_o love_n and_o how_o in_o effect_n we_o enjoy_v this_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o in_o christ_n therefore_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o be_v here_o to_o be_v understand_v he_o say_v it_o be_v perfect_a because_o it_o be_v pour_v out_o in_o full_a measure_n and_o perform_v so_o thorough_o as_o if_o it_o be_v absolute_a on_o all_o part_n but_o he_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v none_o partaker_n of_o this_o good_a except_o such_o as_o be_v conformable_a unto_o god_n do_v approve_v themselves_o to_o be_v his_o child_n the_o argument_n therefore_o be_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v join_v together_o that_o we_o may_v have_v boldness_n now_o he_o begin_v to_o show_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o albeit_o he_o will_v afterward_o show_v it_o more_o clear_o by_o the_o contrary_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v inestimable_a felicity_n that_o we_o dare_v stand_v bold_o before_o god_n for_o by_o nature_n we_o fly_v from_o the_o ●ight_n of_o god_n and_o worthy_o for_o see_v he_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n and_o our_o sin_n do_v press_v we_o with_o guiltiness_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o together_o with_o god_n death_n and_o hell_n come_v into_o our_o mind_n hence_o be_v the_o fear_n which_o i_o speak_v off_o that_o man_n fly_v from_o god_n as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o they_o john_n deni_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v afraid_a when_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v to_o they_o of_o the_o last_o judgement_n but_o rather_o to_o come_v bold_a and_o cheerful_a to_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v assure_o persuade_v of_o his_o fatherly_a love_n therefore_o so_o much_o have_v every_o one_o profit_v in_o the_o faith_n as_o he_o be_v right_o prepare_v in_o mind_n to_o wait_v for_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n as_o he_o be_v by_o these_o word_n as_o i_o say_v already_o he_o do_v mean_a again_o that_o this_o be_v require_v of_o we_o that_o we_o resemble_v the_o image_n of_o god_n such_o therefore_o as_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n such_o do_v he_o command_v we_o to_o be_v in_o this_o world_n that_o we_o may_v be_v account_v his_o child_n for_o the_o image_n of_o god_n when_o it_o do_v appear_v in_o we_o it_o be_v as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o adoption_n but_o so_o he_o seem_v to_o place_v part_n of_o our_o trust_n in_o work_n therefore_o here_o the_o papist_n do_v stroute_v themselves_o as_o if_o john_n deny_v that_o trust_n to_o have_v a_o assure_a confidence_n of_o salvation_n by_o the_o alone_a grace_n of_o god_n except_o work_n do_v help_v together_o but_o they_o be_v deceive_v in_o that_o that_o they_o weigh_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o here_o fetch_v his_o argument_n from_o the_o cause_n but_o the_o place_n be_v of_o thing_n join_v together_o and_o we_o willingly_v confess_v that_o no_o man_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o christ_n except_o together_o he_o be_v reform_v and_o make_v agreeable_a to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o conformable_a that_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o say_v this_o most_o fit_o for_o he_o do_v drive_v all_o they_o from_o the_o assurance_n of_o grace_n in_o who_o there_o be_v not_o see_v any_o likeness_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o such_o be_v utter_o stranger_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o to_o his_o son_n christ_n neither_o also_o do_v we_o deny_v that_o the_o newness_n of_o life_n avayl_v to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o a_o assurance_n but_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v so_o that_o it_o be_v take_v as_o a_o second_o help_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o be_v ground_v upon_o only_a grace_n neither_o indeed_o otherways_o shall_v johns_n doctrine_n agree_v with_o itself_o for_o common_a experience_n do_v show_v and_o the_o papist_n themselves_o be_v constrain_v to_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v always_o a_o cause_n of_o fearfulness_n in_o the_o respect_n of_o work_n wherefore_o no_o man_n shall_v ever_o come_v with_o a_o quiet_a and_o persuade_v mind_n to_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n except_o he_o determine_v first_o with_o himself_o and_o willynglye_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v of_o he_o even_o free_o belove_v but_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n that_o any_o man_n shall_v marvel_v that_o the_o papist_n taste_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n see_v the_o miserable_a man_n know_v no_o faith_n but_o that_o which_o be_v full_a of_o doubt_v and_o further_o that_o hypocrisy_n do_v over_o spread_v they_o with_o darkness_n lest_o they_o shall_v earnest_o bethink_v how_o fearful_a be_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n where_o christ_n be_v not_o present_v a_o mediator_n other_o pass_v by_o the_o resurrection_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o tale_n but_o that_o we_o may_v go_v forth_o glad_a and_o chéereful_a to_o meet_v christ_n it_o do_v behoove_v we_o to_o have_v our_o faith_n fix_v in_o his_o grace_n alone_o 18_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n now_o by_o contrary_n he_o commend_v the_o excellency_n of_o that_o good_a for_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v continual_o torment_v until_o god_n do_v deliver_v we_o from_o that_o miserable_a torment_n with_o the_o remedy_n of_o his_o love_n towards_o us._n the_o effect_n be_v see_v nothing_o be_v more_o miserable_a than_o to_o be_v vex_v with_o continual_a disquiet_n that_o we_o attain_v unto_o this_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o be_v know_v that_o we_o may_v quiet_o rest_v without_o fear_n whence_o appear_v how_o singular_a a_o benefit_n it_o be_v that_o god_n do_v vouchsafe_v we_o worthy_a of_o his_o love_n further_o of_o this_o doctrine_n he_o will_v immediate_o raise_v a_o exhortation_n but_o before_o he_o exhort_v we_o to_o our_o duty_n he_o commend_v this_o guifte_n of_o god_n to_o we_o which_o by_o faith_n take_v fear_n from_o us._n i_o know_v that_o all_o this_o place_n be_v other_o way_n expound_v of_o many_o but_o i_o respect_v what_o the_o apostle_n mean_v not_o what_o other_o think_v they_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n in_o love_n because_o when_o of_o our_o own_o accord_n we_o love_v god_n we_o be_v not_o constrain_v to_o his_o obedience_n by_o force_n and_o fear_n therefore_o according_a to_o they_o a_o servile_a fear_n be_v here_o oppose_v to_o a_o voluntary_a reverence_n whence_o also_o be_v rise_v the_o distinction_n of_o servile_a &_o child_o fear_v i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o that_o be_v true_a when_o we_o willing_o love_v god_n as_o a_o father_n that_o we_o be_v no_o more_o urge_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o punishment_n but_o that_o doctrine_n have_v no_o agreement_n with_o this_o place_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v only_o teach_v that_o when_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v perceive_v and_o know_v unto_o we_o by_o faith_n peace_n be_v give_v unto_o our_o conscience_n jest_n they_o be_v any_o more_o disquiet_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v when_o perfect_a love_n cast_v out_o fear_n because_o be_v endue_v with_o some_o taste_n only_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n
