and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o perceive_v such_o fullness_n of_o god_n grace_n as_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v therefore_o s._n paul_n send_v we_o to_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n

and_o all_o our_o enemy_n now_o than_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o may_v be_v cast_v down_o and_o our_o faith_n at_o least_o wise_a sore_o shake_v if_o we_o shall_v

unseen_a in_o ourselves_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n god_n inestimable_a power_n which_o surmount_v the_o whole_a world_n for_o first_o he_o be_v raze_v from_o death_n and_o second_o he_o be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n now_o the_o speak_n of_o god_n right_a hand_n be_v a_o resemblance_n take_v of_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v neither_o right_a hand_n nor_o

must_v needs_o grant_v this_o principle_n that_o we_o have_v neither_o life_n nor_o gladness_n nor_o any_o good_a thing_n but_o only_o in_o god_n alone_o that_o be_v confess_v let_v we_o see_v by_o

if_o we_o once_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o some_o one_o naughty_a touch_n but_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o evil_n in_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o mislike_n of_o

that_o we_o be_v naughty_a in_o deed_n and_o that_o our_o nature_n be_v altogether_o sinful_a and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v to_o age_n what_o can_v we_o do_v as_o i_o say_v afore_o to_o fall_v to_o

all_o the_o earth_n over_o about_o other_o science_n what_o profit_n will_v come_v of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v but_o vanity_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o seek_v any_o thing_n

live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o all_o uprightness_n but_o we_o must_v also_o have_v a_o mutual_a care_n one_o of_o another_o and_o be_v full_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v no_o serve_v of_o god_n if_o we_o endeavour_n not_o by_o all_o the_o mean_n we_o can_v that_o other_o may_v do_v the_o like_a and_o so_o we_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a first_o that_o every_o man_n look_v too_o himself_o and_o though_o all_o the_o world_n be_v mad_a in_o do_v evil_a yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o which_o be_v teach_v in_o god_n school_n do_v

must_v not_o only_o be_v do_v in_o every_o town_n and_o village_n but_o also_o we_o must_v look_v yet_o further_o of_o and_o consider_v that_o they_o who_o we_o know_v not_o be_v neverthelater_o of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v serve_v they_o for_o look_v glass_n and_o example_n and_o confirm_v they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o too_o lead_v a_o

when_o other_o folk_n march_v on_o so_o fast_o afore_o and_o run_v so_o cheerful_o toward_o god_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n in_o effect_n which_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v away_o here_o be_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o eft_o one_o man_n alone_o and_o eft_o another_o as_o though_o he_o mean_v too_o set_v we_o a_o sunder_o but_o direct_v his_o voice_n too_o

our_o heart_n too_o show_v that_o we_o be_v he_o for_o be_v once_o baptize_v with_o water_n we_o do_v all_o hair_n jesus_n christ_n according_a as_o it_o show_v we_o by_o that_o visible_a sign_n and_o

we_o must_v not_o do_v so_o but_o when_o we_o see_v the_o mischief_n feed_v and_o increase_v by_o our_o unfaithfulness_n let_v we_o provide_v for_o it_o and_o let_v every_o man_n be_v compel_v too_o

the_o very_a mean_a to_o rid_v away_o the_o plague_n that_o satan_n will_v have_v maintain_v still_o by_o silence_n and_o dissimulation_n therefore_o whensoever_o we_o perceive_v any_o imposthume_n

of_o the_o similitude_n that_o s._n paul_n use_v here_o now_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o ill_o put_v in_o ure_n everywhere_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v the_o better_a of_o it_o if_o

that_o it_o become_v we_o too_o be_v occupy_v in_o blessing_n his_o holy_a name_n yet_o will_v not_o we_o see_v it_o one_o whit_n again_o as_o touch_v the_o body_n we_o bear_v ourselves_o on_o hand_n that_o our_o good_n come_v too_o we_o either_o by_o our_o own_o cunning_a or_o by_o good_a fortune_n or_o by_o favour_n of_o the_o world_n as_o for_o god_n he_o be_v always_o let_v alone_o and_o as_o

too_o humble_v we_o and_o afterward_o â—oo_o exalt_v we_o again_o therefore_o we_o must_v on_o the_o one_o side_n confess_v that_o all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o wit_n which_o we_o have_v do_v fail_v we_o

so_o then_o we_o must_v needs_o have_v charity_n from_o elsewhere_o and_o god_n must_v break_v the_o curse_a inclination_n that_o be_v in_o we_o namely_o the_o over_o excessive_a love_a of_o

of_o christian_n consist_v in_o faith_n and_o charity_n wherefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o belong_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o be_v worthy_a too_o be_v esteem_v and_o commend_v we_o have_v none_o of_o it_o of_o our_o own_o grow_v but_o it_o come_v too_o we_o from_o above_o 17._o according_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o confess_v of_o our_o faith_n that_o

will_v not_o otherwise_o agree_v but_o here_o by_o the_o way_n a_o man_n may_v ask_v a_o question_n for_o saint_n paul_n pray_v not_o god_n too_o give_v faith_n too_o the_o faithless_a and_o charity_n too_o they_o that_o be_v fleshly_a but_o unto_o the_o brethren_n that_o be_v too_o say_v too_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n now_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v god_n child_n already_o they_o be_v beget_v again_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a they_o have_v both_o faith_n and_o charity_n but_o herein_o saint_n paul_n show_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o that_o god_n begin_v faith_n in_o we_o unless_o he_o continue_v in_o it_o too_o the_o end_n and_o that_o like_a as_o we_o call_v faith_n the_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o must_v he_o also_o make_v it_o too_o grow_v and_o increase_v day_n by_o day_n 29._o and_o that_o be_v it_o which_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o say_n that_o it_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o not_o only_o too_o believe_v in_o

when_o god_n have_v once_o dispose_v we_o too_o believe_v he_o must_v also_o give_v we_o such_o a_o affection_n as_o may_v touch_v we_o too_o the_o quick_a and_o afterward_o drive_v we_o forward_a and_o give_v we_o ability_n too_o persevere_v so_o as_o we_o may_v profit_v &_o go_v forward_o &_o be_v confirm_v even_o to_o the_o end_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o faithful_a which_o be_v bring_v already_o into_o the_o good_a way_n and_o to_o who_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v say_v nevertheless_o that_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o further_o they_o &_o give_v they_o the_o gift_n to_o hold_v out_o even_o by_o grow_a more_o and_o more_o as_o well_o in_o faith_n as_o in_o love_n and_o thereby_o we_o have_v warning_n to_o pray_v

we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v but_o in_o our_o way_n as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o enforce_v ourselves_o forward_o for_o what_o perfection_n of_o faith_n so_o ever_o we_o can_v find_v among_o man_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n will_v find_v much_o amiss_o in_o it_o and_o how_o far_o forward_o soever_o we_o be_v and_o how_o well_o so_o
