we_o see_v that_o this_o say_n very_o well_o declare_v that_o this_o thief_n be_v teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o although_o we_o shall_v out_o of_o all_o cry_n as_o we_o say_v see_v this_o very_a often_o yet_o may_v we_o judge_v by_o this_o say_n what_o a_o good_a schoolmaster_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v when_o as_o he_o so_o well_o instruct_v those_o who_o have_v err_v

they_o to_o be_v of_o that_o mind_n never_o to_o come_v near_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o rather_o altogether_o to_o fly_v his_o company_n now_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o sign_n

thereof_o by_o this_o spectacle_n see_v then_o these_o shepherd_n have_v so_o great_a faith_n that_o it_o strave_v against_o all_o whatsoever_o may_v pull_v they_o back_o from_o come_v unto_o our_o

be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o forewarde_v of_o those_o upon_o who_o god_n have_v enlarge_v the_o grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n must_v notwithstanding_o

yea_o &_o let_v we_o detest_v such_o a_o corruption_n and_o do_v our_o best_a to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o heaven_n and_o seek_v for_o the_o remedy_n which_o be_v

yea_o although_o they_o be_v so_o lively_o stir_v up_o over_o and_o beside_o that_o which_o we_o have_v this_o morning_n speak_v of_o to_o wit_n that_o we_o right_o well_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n choose_v unto_o he_o no_o companion_n for_o the_o help_a of_o he_o to_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n let_v we_o also_o behold_v our_o dulness_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o ableness_n than_o these_o three_o of_o who_o mention_n be_v here_o make_v and_o yet_o be_v they_o the_o most_o notable_a man_n of_o all_o the_o company_n and_o those_o who_o jesus_n christ_n have_v mark_v as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v the_o very_a flower_n of_o the_o twelve_o for_o the_o publishig_n of_o the_o gospel_n throughout_o the_o world_n and_o although_o here_o be_v already_o never_o so_o good_a a_o beginning_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o weak_a they_o be_v and_o this_o be_v set_v down_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v altogether_o have_v recourse_n unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o seek_v for_o our_o want_n in_o he_o and_o not_o to_o be_v faint_a heart_a whenas_o we_o shall_v feel_v such_o weakness_n in_o ourselves_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n must_v not_o give_v we_o occasion_n to_o flatter_v ourselves_o as_o many_o there_o be_v which_o will_v say_v that_o they_o may_v very_o well_o sleep_n because_o that_o peter_n john_n and_o james_n step_v but_o let_v we_o be_v angry_a with_o ourselves_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o know_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v ready_a to_o receive_v we_o if_o that_o we_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o moreover_o this_o have_v always_o be_v the_o most_o special_a reason_n which_o we_o have_v declare_v this_o morning_n that_o what_o soever_o be_v in_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v weak_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o in_o he_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o our_o salvation_n who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n and_o beside_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o the_o near_o we_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o ought_v then_o to_o be_v most_o watchful_a for_o the_o worldling_n and_o such_o as_o god_n have_v cut_v of_o as_o rot_a member_n and_o forsake_v they_o never_o have_v any_o great_a conflict_n because_o the_o devil_n have_v already_o dominion_n over_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o they_o may_v sleep_v at_o pleasure_n but_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v we_o this_o favour_n to_o call_v we_o unto_o himself_o and_o familiar_o to_o come_v near_o we_o even_o so_o likewise_o do_v satan_n prepare_v combat_n for_o we_o because_o he_o will_v retire_v we_o from_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v when_o he_o see_v we_o in_o any_o good_a towardness_n then_o do_v he_o most_o rough_o assail_v us._n wherefore_o let_v every_o man_n make_v ready_a himself_o know_v whereunto_o god_n have_v call_v he_o and_o what_o his_o charge_n be_v this_o then_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v in_o mind_n moreover_o where_o it_o be_v say_v sleep_v hence_o
deal_v with_o he_o who_o god_n have_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o everlasting_a shepherd_n of_o this_o people_n and_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o because_o the_o people_n can_v not_o abide_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v their_o governor_n yet_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v always_o play_v the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n although_o he_o never_o show_v himself_o in_o our_o humane_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o ought_v here_o still_o to_o remember_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n may_v learn_v séeinge_v that_o god_n have_v be_v so_o favourable_a unto_o we_o to_o gather_v we_o together_o as_o it_o be_v under_o his_o protection_n and_o to_o take_v we_o to_o be_v of_o his_o fold_n and_o deliver_v unto_o we_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o shepherd_n let_v not_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n wound_v he_o as_o to_o gréeve_v his_o spirit_n through_o our_o rebellious_a and_o unthankful_a deal_n and_o not_o pay_v he_o as_o we_o say_v with_o nifle_n and_o trifle_n but_o let_v we_o take_v he_o for_o our_o god_n and_o king_n since_o he_o have_v please_v so_o to_o vouchsafe_v it_o and_o consecrate_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o not_o pay_v he_o with_o counterfeit_a coin_n but_o yield_v unto_o he_o both_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n for_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o we_o shall_v yield_v unto_o he_o all_o government_n over_o we_o and_o we_o to_o be_v only_o he_o see_v he_o seek_v only_o our_o salvation_n now_o to_o conclude_v it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v bring_v before_o pilot_n he_o make_v no_o answer_n and_o that_o pilot_n ask_v he_o say_v why_o speak_v thou_o not_o do_v not_o thou_o see_v that_o these_o man_n witness_v against_o thou_o and_o that_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n insomuch_o that_o the_o judge_n wonder_v at_o he_o now_o we_o be_v here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v before_o a_o earthly_a judge_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o condemnation_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o feel_v 45.23_o isai_n 45.23_o before_o the_o heavenly_a judge_n for_o we_o know_v that_o we_o can_v go_v from_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o by_z the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o every_o knee_n must_v bow_v before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o since_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o can_v stand_v before_o his_o face_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o must_v needs_o be_v enforce_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n and_o although_o we_o have_v live_v but_o one_o year_n yet_o have_v we_o commit_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o fault_n which_o deserve_v everlasting_a condemnation_n and_o be_v so_o engrave_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o we_o can_v deny_v it_o wherefore_o since_o god_n be_v clear_a sight_v than_o we_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o condemn_v we_o see_v every_o of_o we_o must_v needs_o in_o sundry_a wise_n condemn_v himself_o howbeit_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v drive_v to_o this_o extremity_n as_o that_o he_o be_v accuse_v before_o a_o earthly_a judge_n and_o so_o profane_a a_o man_n as_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o covetuousnesse_n and_o ambition_n and_o therefore_o since_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v bring_v thus_o low_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v and_o know_v that_o we_o may_v bold_o present_v ourselves_o before_o the_o maiesti_fw-la of_o god_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o we_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o need_v to_o fear_v courageous_o to_o come_v before_o his_o tribunal_n seat_n because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n upon_o us._n moreover_o we_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v power_n authority_n &_o dominion_n to_o be_v judge_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o that_o when_o pilot_n have_v thus_o conden_v he_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v bold_o come_v unto_o he_o because_o we_o know_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v our_o judge_n and_o again_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v because_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n that_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o abide_v to_o be_v condemn_v for_o we_o and_o not_o answer_v for_o his_o justification_n since_o he_o know_v he_o must_v be_v condemn_v for_o our_o sake_n for_o although_o he_o be_v without_o falâ—_n yet_o bear_v he_o all_o our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o be_v overcome_v for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o have_v perform_v the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n without_o he_o have_v be_v condemn_v and_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o die_v for_o our_o cause_n and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hold_v his_o peace_n that_o we_o may_v with_o open_a mouth_n call_v upon_o god_n and_o beseech_v he_o of_o pardon_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n let_v we_o now_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o

it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v his_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v by_o miracle_n preserve_v from_o all_o corruption_n and_o

notwithstanding_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o mislyke_v i_o mean_v he_o correct_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o angel_n who_o he_o appoint_v there_o in_o his_o turn_n we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o

also_o afeard_a but_o they_o be_v forthwith_o comfort_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o terrible_a the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v to_o all_o those_o unto_o who_o he_o show_v himself_o and_o he_o do_v it_o because_o we_o shall_v feel_v our_o fraylnes_n whenas_o god_n manife_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o where_o before_o we_o be_v presumptuos_o puff_v up_o and_o so_o embolden_v as_o that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o too_o be_v no_o mortal_a man_n whenas_o god_n show_v we_o any_o sign_n of_o his_o presence_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o of_o necessity_n we_o shall_v be_v confound_v and_o

wit_n &_o reason_n &_o do_v become_v even_o very_o brutish_a but_o the_o faithful_a although_o they_o be_v terrify_v yet_o be_v they_o reléeve_v and_o take_v good_a courage_n because_o that_o god_n

not_o be_v so_o savage_a as_o though_o distrust_n have_v oppress_v us._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v conform_v himself_o like_o unto_o we_o whenas_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n yea_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o find_v wherewith_o to_o comfort_v and_o glad_v ourselves_o because_o he_o have_v purchase_v the_o kingdom_n and_o

and_o hereby_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o this_o be_v a_o sinful_a affection_n indeed_o we_o must_v as_o i_o have_v say_v fear_v god_n reverence_v his_o majesty_n obey_v he_o and_o whole_o be_v

that_o we_o do_v not_o perceve_v as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v whether_o we_o have_v profit_v any_o whit_n or_o not_o for_o we_o be_v so_o ignorant_a &_o so_o fantastical_a as_o that_o we_o be_v

yet_o we_o find_v some_o taste_n among_o which_o make_v we_o feel_v that_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o although_o there_o be_v but_o a_o spark_n of_o grace_n in_o we_o let_v we_o

which_o we_o be_v as_o yet_o very_o far_o of_o and_o although_o the_o fear_n and_o joy_n which_o these_o woman_n have_v be_v accomt_v and_o condemn_v for_o a_o fault_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o god_n

by_o degree_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v thorough_o confirm_v whereof_o we_o have_v great_a need_n now_o this_o be_v sufficient_a enough_o that_o the_o woman_n have_v hard_o the_o message_n deliver_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o angel_n &_o the_o sign_n and_o token_n be_v such_o as_o that_o they_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o think_v that_o he_o be_v send_v from_o god_n for_o his_o face_n

a_o great_a deal_n the_o more_o assure_v whenas_o they_o have_v see_v our_o lord_n jesus_n who_o they_o before_o know_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o his_o unchaungable_a truth_n and_o this_o more_o full_o ratify_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v before_o hear_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o may_v increase_v in_o faith_n for_o at_o the_o

that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v such_o slander_n and_o reproach_n that_o we_o may_v look_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o seek_v for_o our_o triumph_n and_o victory_n there_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v

if_o we_o shall_v desire_v it_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v too_o too_o faint_a heart_a wherefore_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_v that_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o

even_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o which_o cause_n let_v not_o we_o fear_v but_o that_o the_o glory_n which_o he_o will_v give_v we_o shall_v so_o terrify_v our_o enemy_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v our_o footstool_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o scripture_n howbéet_fw-mi saint_n paul_n here_o namely_o set_v down_o who_o they_o be_v that_o must_v look_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 110._o psal_n 110._o and_o he_o declare_v the_o fruit_n of_o all_o those_o that_o have_v beléeve_v in_o these_o word_n

this_o inheritance_n nor_o yet_o be_v partaker_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n nevertheless_o in_o this_o say_n they_o which_o have_v believe_v he_o show_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o very_a right_a springhead_n and_o beginning_n of_o all_o holiness_n three_o he_o show_v that_o if_o our_o faith_n be_v pure_a and_o right_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n we_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o his_o come_n but_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o of_o health_n and_o joy_n for_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a number_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a throat_n say_v what_o i_o beseech_v you_o good_a sir_n think_v you_o that_o we_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o the_o rest_n thus_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o swine_n and_o examine_v their_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o altogether_o disloyal_a and_o faithless_a like_o fox_n full_a of_o treason_n perjury_n cruelty_n and_o bitterness_n unto_o their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o loser_n they_o will_v keep_v open_a shop_n to_o take_v of_o all_o hand_n insomuch_o that_o they_o will_v not_o only_o sell_v their_o faith_n and_o credit_n but_o their_o honour_n and_o honesty_n also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a contemptuous_a person_n and_o yet_o forsooth_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o brag_v that_o they_o be_v the_o frowarde_a man_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o think_v that_o god_n will_v help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a and_o a_o most_o fearful_a day_n to_o you_o and_o so_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_n we_o have_v to_o note_v out_o of_o this_o place_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n available_a to_o we_o and_o do_v we_o good_a and_o to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o

the_o first_o point_n but_o to_o the_o attain_n hereof_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v late_o say_v for_o to_o say_v true_o

faith_n and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n to_o show_v that_o whatsoever_o glorious_a show_n we_o make_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v corrupt_a and_o stink_a before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n cleanse_v we_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o for_o the_o three_o point_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a
