to_o particular_n you_o shall_v find_v how_o exceed_o they_o be_v out_o of_o order_n come_v to_o love_n and_o hatred_n we_o little_o think_v we_o hate_v what_o be_v good_a and_o love_v sin_n come_v

justification_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o point_n worth_a your_o consideration_n that_o you_o may_v be_v more_o in_o christ._n it_o be_v true_a justification_n in_o this_o

that_o whereas_o before_o there_o be_v in_o man_n such_o a_o strong_a appetite_n such_o a_o strong_a propensity_n to_o ill_a such_o a_o strong_a inclination_n that_o will_v over-weigh_a all_o the_o

manner_n christ_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v to_o repeat_v it_o we_o come_v to_o draw_v some_o consectary_n from_o the_o point_n that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n the_o first_o be_v for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o our_o faith_n if_o god_n have_v say_v it_o only_o it_o have_v be_v enough_o god_n that_o can_v lie_v but_o i_o tell_v you_o he_o have_v not_o only_o say_v it_o but_o swear_v it_o and_o not_o only_o swear_v it_o but_o have_v put_v to_o his_o seal_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v he_o only_o i_o tell_v you_o what_o be_v require_v if_o we_o will_v partake_v of_o christ_n first_o we_o must_v take_v he_o by_o faith_n second_o that_o be_v not_o all_o we_o must_v take_v he_o in_o deed_n aswell_o as_o in_o word_n that_o be_v we_o must_v obey_v he_o and_o live_v by_o his_o law_n we_o must_v lay_v down_o the_o arm_n of_o rebellion_n and_o come_v in_o if_o we_o will_v have_v pardon_n three_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o do_v this_o but_o we_o must_v do_v all_o out_o of_o love_n now_o when_o a_o man_n hear_v of_o this_o that_o all_o this_o be_v require_v in_o take_v of_o christ_n here_o i_o tell_v you_o all_o the_o world_n be_v at_o a_o stand_n there_o be_v no_o body_n will_v be_v content_a to_o take_v he_o when_o they_o hear_v these_o condition_n that_o they_o must_v deny_v themselves_o in_o every_o thing_n in_o their_o profit_n in_o their_o pleasure_n in_o their_o credit_n and_o must_v take_v up_o every_o cross_n and_o when_o they_o meet_v a_o cross_n they_o must_v not_o balk_v the_o way_n but_o they_o must_v go_v through_o when_o they_o hear_v they_o must_v follow_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o i_o say_v when_o man_n hear_v this_o they_o refuse_v christ_n they_o will_v not_o come_v in_o to_o god_n now_o what_o be_v our_o business_n but_o to_o invite_v man_n to_o come_v in_o to_o god_n and_o to_o compel_v they_o as_o he_o say_v that_o my_o house_n may_v be_v full_a we_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o lord_n send_v that_o we_o may_v invite_v man_n to_o this_o banquet_n i_o mean_v not_o to_o this_o sacrament_n but_o to_o the_o thing_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v make_v it_o the_o second_o consectary_n and_o so_o proceed_v if_o there_o be_v here_o a_o real_a communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n then_o here_o be_v the_o gift_n or_o offer_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n consider_v therefore_o the_o greatness_n of_o christ_n love_n that_o he_o shall_v regard_v we_o so_o much_o as_o to_o take_v our_o nature_n to_o clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o he_o may_v be_v crucify_v in_o that_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a love_n compare_v but_o our_o condition_n with_o the_o angel_n that_o be_v fall_v and_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o greatness_n of_o this_o love_n the_o angel_n that_o be_v fall_v and_o we_o be_v sink_v in_o the_o same_o mire_n when_o god_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o see_v the_o miserable_a condition_n of_o both_o say_v the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n he_o have_v compassion_n on_o we_o but_o on_o the_o angel_n he_o have_v not_o compassion_n which_o difference_n show_v his_o liberty_n and_o magnify_v his_o mercy_n towards_o we_o as_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o malachy_n the_o lord_n reason_v with_o israel_n thus_o have_v ●●oved_v you_o and_o yet_o you_o say_v wherein_o have_v thou_o love_v we_o say_v he_o be_v not_o esau_n jacob_n brother_n and_o yet_o jacob_n have_v i_o love_v and_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v so_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v love_v we_o in_o do_v this_o for_o we_o in_o give_v this_o body_n of_o he_o to_o be_v break_v and_o his_o blood_n to_o be_v shed_v he_o have_v love_v we_o and_o hate_v they_o and_o why_o have_v he_o put_v this_o difference_n but_o because_o he_o love_v we_o and_o therefore_o paul_n as_o he_o be_v excellent_a when_o he_o come_v to_o set_v forth_o this_o
