jesus_n christ_n the_o pharisy_n through_o notable_a malice_n of_o hart_n and_o unmeasurable_a hatred_n wherewith_o they_o pursue_v christ_n do_v move_v a_o question_n concern_v the_o law_n and_o demand_v of_o jesus_n which_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n in_o the_o law_n for_o in_o much_o as_o christ_n condemn_v the_o pharisy_n which_o esteem_v themselves_o to_o live_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o will_v bring_v in_o baptism_n whereof_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v in_o the_o law_n they_o think_v that_o he_o will_v speak_v something_o rash_o against_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n may_v have_v occasion_n to_o accuse_v he_o and_o take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o way_n christ_n on_o the_o other_o side_n have_v compassion_n on_o the_o great_a blindenes_n of_o the_o pharise_n ask_v they_o what_o they_o think_v of_o christ_n &_o who_o son_n he_o be_v and_o that_o thing_n he_o do_v with_o this_o intent_n that_o a_o occasion_n may_v be_v give_v he_o whereby_o he_o may_v instruct_v and_o teach_v they_o forth_o of_o the_o scripture_n what_o they_o shall_v esteem_v of_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o he_o who_o god_n promise_v to_o adam_n abraham_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n furthermore_o that_o these_o question_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o christ_n may_v the_o more_o commodious_o serve_v we_o to_o the_o furtherance_n &_o instruction_n of_o salvation_n i_o will_v choose_v from_o hence_o three_o doctrine_n which_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n assist_v i_o will_v declare_v in_o order_n first_z of_o the_o cause_n by_o which_o the_o pharisy_n be_v move_v go_v about_o to_o take_v christ_n out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o what_o craft_n they_o use_v to_o bring_v this_o wicked_a purpose_n to_o effect_v second_o of_o the_o true_a understanding_n and_o use_v of_o the_o law_n the_z third_z of_o christ_n namely_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v of_o he_o and_o how_o we_o obtain_v salvation_n through_o he_o the_o first_o doctrine_n the_o jews_n and_o chief_o the_o pharise_n go_v about_o this_o thing_n with_o great_a indevor_n 22._o that_o they_o may_v tangle_v christ_n in_o his_o word_n &_o be_v catch_v they_o may_v quarrel_v with_o he_o and_z at_o the_o length_n deliver_v he_o to_o death_n behold_v therefore_o how_o great_a the_o diversity_n of_o mind_n be_v of_o the_o one_o towards_o the_o other_o in_o christ_n &_o in_o the_o pharise_n jesus_n seek_v this_o only_a thing_n y_z t_z they_o be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n he_o may_v save_v they_o but_o the_o pharise_n crafty_o catch_v his_o word_n whereby_o they_o may_v accuse_v and_o oppress_v he_o this_o waywardness_n of_o mind_n be_v at_o this_o day_n alas_o for_o sorrow_n find_v in_o many_o which_o persecute_v those_o which_o wish_v well_o unto_o

on_o either_o part_n the_o pharise_n go_v about_o this_o business_n not_o because_o they_o will_v learn_v but_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o quarrel_v and_o to_o destroy_v but_o christ_n by_o his_o question_n intend_v this_o thing_n that_o he_o may_v thorough_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o possession_n of_o assure_a salvation_n let_v we_o hear_v therefore_o what_o be_v do_v on_o either_o side_n christ_n demand_v what_o think_v you_o of_o christ_n who_o son_n be_v he_o they_z faith_n unto_o he_o 22_o the_o son_n of_o david_n this_o answer_n they_o give_v because_o they_o know_v y_o t_o christ_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n according_a to_o y_z e_z promise_v make_v unto_o he_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o suffice_v not_o to_o the_o true_a know_v of_o christ_n christ_n by_o this_o question_n infer_v another_o by_o the_o which_o he_o indevore_v to_o lead_v they_o into_o a_o full_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n therefore_o he_o say_v how_o then_o do_v david_n in_o spirit_n call_v he_o lord_n say_n the_o lord_n say_v unto_o my_o lord_n sit_v thou_o on_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n the_o footestole_n of_o thy_o foot_n if_o david_n therefore_o call_v he_o lord_n how_o be_v he_o then_o his_o son_n as_o if_o christ_n will_v say_v the_o father_n be_v superior_a to_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o father_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v superior_a to_o the_o servant_n and_o the_o servant_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o his_o lord_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o david_n acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v his_o lord_n to_o who_o with_o all_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n he_o whole_o submit_v himself_o here_o if_o the_o jew_n have_v admit_v to_o counsel_v the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v of_o christ_n and_o have_v a_o little_a while_n consider_v with_o themselves_o what_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n they_o have_v easy_o find_v this_o answer_n christ_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n which_o he_o take_v unto_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god._n as_o far_o forth_o therefore_o as_o appertain_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n he_o be_v in_o appearance_n base_a and_o poor_a but_o as_o far_o forth_o as_o appertain_v to_o the_o

receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n righteousness_n and_o life_n everlasting_a of_o this_o christ_n his_o lord_n david_n speak_v in_o the_o psalm_n 51._o where_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v purge_v i_o

the_o humane_a nature_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o he_o but_o after_o the_o divine_a nature_n very_a god_n from_o everlasting_a after_o this_o manner_n christ_n by_o the_o question_n propound_v by_o he_o will_v reduce_v the_o jew_n to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n wherein_o as_o i_o have_v say_v consist_v eternal_a life_n and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o salvation_n as_o paul_n teach_v 1._o

subject_v to_o most_o bitter_a passion_n and_o death_n it_o seem_v unto_o man_n not_o wisdom_n but_o foolishness_n forasmuch_o as_o god_n by_o his_o omnipotency_n can_v easy_o find_v another_o way_n to_o save_v mankind_n but_o it_o seem_v far_o otherwise_o unto_o god_n yea_o that_o which_o man_n esteem_v foolishness_n that_o god_n esteem_v and_o account_v for_o wisdom_n but_o that_o we_o may_v
