so_o see_v christ_n have_v suffer_v to_o abolish_v sin_n curse_a shall_v that_o man_n or_o that_o woman_n be_v that_o build_v it_o up_o again_o therefore_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o weaken_v

be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o make_v christ_n so_o to_o fear_v first_o fear_n because_o he_o be_v to_o stand_v before_o god_n in_o judgement_n clothe_v and_o

suffer_v of_o good_a but_o of_o bad_a man_n divers_a be_v well_o enough_o content_v to_o suffer_v of_o good_a man_n as_o david_n psalm_n 141._o let_v the_o righteous_a smite_v i_o lord_n and_o that_o

into_o all_o the_o world_n then_o though_o the_o jew_n may_v have_v corrupt_v the_o book_n that_o be_v in_o their_o own_o hand_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o corrupt_v all_o the_o book_n that_o be_v in_o so_o many_o sundry_a hand_n scatter_v all_o the_o world_n over_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o corrupt_v any_o philo_n and_o josephus_n report_n that_o the_o jew_n live_v two_o thousand_o year_n under_o the_o law_n when_o there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n corrupt_v nay_o they_o say_v that_o the_o the_o jew_n will_v suffer_v a_o hundred_o death_n before_o they_o will_v have_v corrupt_v any_o one_o word_n so_o then_o this_o reason_n stand_v good_a that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v before_o christ_n time_n nor_o after_o his_o time_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v in_o the_o original_a the_o five_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a 5._o say_v saint_n jerome_n if_o we_o make_v any_o doubt_n of_o any_o question_n in_o our_o bibles_n we_o straight_o run_v to_o be_v resolve_v of_o it_o in_o the_o original_a tongue_n if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o go_v to_o the_o greek_a if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o go_v to_o the_o hebrew_n likewise_o saint_n augustine_n say_v if_o any_o man_n make_v any_o doubt_n or_o question_n of_o this_o or_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n by_o and_o by_o we_o go_v to_o the_o hebrew_n bible_n to_o clear_v our_o controversy_n as_o to_o the_o canon_n law_n hence_o we_o conclude_v by_o these_o reason_n that_o the_o church_n have_v preserve_v the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n without_o any_o corruption_n whereof_o we_o shall_v make_v that_o use_n that_o paul_n teach_v use_v 2_o cor_fw-la 6._o 1._o we_o as_o worker_n together_o with_o

make_v quest_n indeed_o the_o lord_n have_v preserve_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o original_a tongue_n without_o any_o corruption_n but_o in_o the_o latin_a and_o other_o tongue_n they_o have_v be_v corrupt_v and_o therefore_o what_o be_v this_o to_o we_o we_o can_v understand_v hebrew_a again_o there_o be_v a_o popish_a priest_n who_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n because_o we_o have_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o faith_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v he_o be_v write_v in_o hebrew_n and_o in_o greek_a which_o translate_v into_o a_o other_o tongue_n be_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n how_o then_o shall_v we_o in_o this_o case_n know_v it_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v sol._n that_o the_o lord_n do_v by_o we_o as_o joseph_n do_v by_o his_o brethren_n gen._n simile_n 42._o 12._o first_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o by_o a_o interpreter_n and_o afterward_o by_o his_o own_o mouth_n so_o the_o

wherein_o it_o differ_v not_o a_o hair_n from_o the_o other_o so_o it_o please_v god_n to_o proclaim_v his_o will_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o the_o greek_a tongue_n at_o first_o after_o which_o they_o be_v translate_v into_o all_o tongue_n by_o his_o servant_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o hair_n difference_n between_o they_o in_o substance_n ay_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v they_o be_v right_o translate_v hereto_o i_o answer_v first_o out_o of_o chrysostome_n quest._n that_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o whatsoever_o be_v needful_a to_o salvation_n be_v set_v down_o plain_o and_o clear_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o augustine_n add_v translation_n that_o all_o those_o place_n in_o the_o scripture_n which_o speak_v of_o faith_n and_o good_a manner_n be_v plain_a and_o easy_a therefore_o in_o plain_a and_o easy_a place_n the_o interpreter_n can_v not_o be_v deceive_v second_o translation_n a_o man_n may_v know_v it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o our_o tongue_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n they_o may_v know_v it_o in_o hebrew_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o purity_n sincerity_n majesty_n and_o the_o power_n thereof_o to_o work_v on_o the_o

and_o majesty_n they_o may_v safe_o say_v it_o be_v god_n speak_v and_o not_o man_n it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o my_o well-beloved_a that_o speak_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o canticle_n if_o one_o

to_o express_v it_o therefore_o the_o divers_a translator_n go_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v to_o express_v it_o 1_o some_o in_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o in_o a_o other_o and_o all_o to_o make_v know_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o we_o so_o that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o difference_n of_o translation_n be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o expound_v the_o scripture_n second_o i_o

so_o to_o crake_v their_o soul_n and_o deface_v they_o second_o 2._o see_v there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o have_v release_n and_o pardon_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o by_o forgiveness_n therefore_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o keep_v god_n our_o friend_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o offend_v nor_o grieve_v he_o with_o our_o sin_n if_o our_o life_n shall_v depend_v upon_o any_o man_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o he_o may_v take_v it_o away_o at_o his_o pleasure_n simile_n how_o careful_a will_v we_o be_v to_o please_v he_o we_o will_v not_o speak_v a_o word_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o shall_v offend_v he_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n depend_v on_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o save_v or_o condemn_v we_o it_o be_v his_o mercy_n to_o save_v we_o and_o his_o justice_n to_o condemn_v we_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v careful_a to_o keep_v god_n our_o friend_n howsoever_o the_o world_n do_v little_o regard_v it_o now_o yet_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v before_o he_o every_o man_n will_v be_v glad_a at_o that_o time_n to_o have_v he_o his_o friend_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v our_o judge_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v stand_v or_o fall_v all_o according_a to_o his_o sentence_n three_o 3_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n will_v seek_v it_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o for_o that_o all_o man_n sin_n be_v not_o pardon_v yet_o we_o believe_v if_o man_n will_v seek_v forgiveness_n they_o may_v have_v it_o so_o david_n say_v psal_n 32._o 5._o i_o confess_v my_o sin_n and_o thou_o forgave_v the_o punishment_n of_o they_o so_o isaiah_n 55._o 7._o let_v the_o wicked_a forsake_v his_o way_n and_o the_o unrighteous_a his_o own_o imagination_n and_o return_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o our_o god_n for_o he_o will_v abundant_o pardon_v so_o also_o micah_n 7._o say_v the_o prophet_n who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o unto_o thou_o that_o take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o his_o heritage_n etc._n etc._n so_o than_o it_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n will_v seek_v it_o the_o use_n be_v first_o 1_o see_v there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n seek_v it_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o seek_v it_o and_o not_o rest_v till_o we_o have_v find_v it_o as_o isaiah_n 55._o 6._o say_v he_o seek_v you_o the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v call_v you_o upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o and_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v mercy_n and_o forgive_v therefore_o do_v not_o live_v in_o thy_o sin_n for_o than_o thou_o shall_v perish_v but_o seek_v unto_o god_n and_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v forgive_v thou_o if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o king_n write_v simile_n if_o he_o be_v wise_a he_o will_v labour_v to_o compound_v the_o matter_n as_o soon_o as_o may_v be_v so_o if_o we_o be_v in_o god_n danger_n and_o stand_v not_o in_o clear_a term_n god_n writ_n come_v out_o against_o we_o from_o day_n to_o day_n if_o we_o be_v wise_a we_o will_v seek_v to_o god_n to_o compound_v the_o matter_n so_o soon_o as_o may_v

thou_o lâ—t_v we_o put_v sackcloth_n about_o our_o loin_n and_o rope_n about_o our_o neck_n and_o go_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v save_v thy_o life_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o we_o hear_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v why_o do_v we_o not_o seek_v to_o he_o and_o humble_v ourselves_o that_o so_o we_o may_v find_v mercy_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n second_o 2._o see_v there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n will_v seek_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o same_o sin_n again_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o o_o lord_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v fear_v it_o be_v a_o strong_a conclusion_n that_o david_n gather_v because_o god_n be_v merciful_a therefore_o david_n be_v loath_a to_o offend_v god_n and_o afraid_a to_o do_v evil_a he_o have_v find_v such_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o the_o world_n frame_v another_o conclusion_n clean_o contrary_a to_o this_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a therefore_o they_o will_v sin_v the_o more_o bless_a therefore_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o the_o more_o merciful_a god_n be_v and_o the_o more_o he_o love_v they_o the_o more_o they_o labour_v to_o please_v he_o and_o be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v he_o if_o a_o man_n do_v lie_v in_o prison_n many_o a_o cold_a winter_n and_o a_o friend_n shall_v come_v to_o he_o and_o knock_v off_o his_o fetter_n simile_n open_v the_o prison_n door_n for_o he_o and_o let_v he_o out_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v lay_v hold_n on_o he_o after_o that_o to_o carry_v he_o to_o the_o prison_n again_o o_o how_o will_v he_o cry_v out_o and_o be_v afraid_a to_o come_v there_o any_o more_o so_o we_o be_v lock_v up_o here_o in_o the_o prisonhouse_n of_o sin_n and_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n the_o lord_n have_v knock_v off_o our_o bolt_n and_o fetter_n unlock_v the_o prison_n door_n and_o let_v we_o out_o therefore_o if_o sin_n shall_v lay_v hold_n on_o we_o to_o carry_v we_o back_o again_o o_o how_o shall_v we_o cry_v out_o for_o mercy_n and_o favour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o be_v grieve_v that_o we_o have_v offend_v so_o good_a a_o god_n three_o 3_o see_v that_o there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o therefore_o as_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v we_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v to_o

second_o 2_o if_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v than_o we_o know_v that_o all_o that_o god_n â—â—nds_v unto_o we_o come_v of_o love_n love_n and_o that_o all_o our_o cross_n and_o trouble_v he_o will_v
