out_o of_o his_o grave_n and_o his_o eye_n by_o miracle_n open_v so_o as_o god_n send_v a_o man_n untoo_o he_o of_o no_o great_a fame_n name_v ananias_n who_o baptize_v he_o strengthen_v he_o and_o make_v he_o too_o receyve_v the_o vis●ble_a token_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o thereupon_o he_o go_v his_o way_n into_o arabia_n a_o country_n where_o jesus_n christ_n have_v never_o be_v speak_v of_o afore_o for_o although_o the_o jew_n have_v be_v somewhat_o disperse_v yet_o be_v the_o gospel_n utter_o unknowen_a i_o say_v when_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n paul_n go_v that_o way_n too_o work_v who_o be_v he_o that_o can_v say_v that_o he_o learn_v aught_o of_o man_n or_o that_o he_o have_v be_v win_v too_o it_o by_o disputation_n or_o by_o reason_n or_o by_o any_o other_o manner_n of_o worldly_a mean_n at_o all_o nay_o rather_o we_o shall_v be_v constrain_v too_o grant_v that_o what_o soever_o be_v too_o be_v find_v in_o he_o be_v of_o god_n put_v intoo_o he_o that_o then_o be_v the_o special_a reason_n why_o saint_n paul_n commune_v not_o with_o the_o apostle_n and_o true_o here_o he_o speak_v of_o they_o as_o it_o be_v in_o way_n of_o scorn_n term_v they_o flesh_n and_o blood_n howbeit_o it_o be_v not_o a_o deface_a of_o the_o gift_n which_o they_o have_v receyve_v of_o god_n when_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o and_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v that_o well_o for_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o man_n sure_o they_o may_v well_o be_v call_v flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o we_o see_v they_o be_v call_v in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n 13_o you_o see_v then_o that_o man_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o they_o will_v fain_o presume_v to_o much_o of_o their_o own_o wisdom_n and_o power_n or_o of_o their_o own_o rightuousnesse_n and_o courage_n therefore_o too_o put_v away_o all_o that_o pride_n and_o fond_a overween_a god_n say_v what_o be_v you_o 6._o flesh_n and_o blood_n yea_o and_o sometime_o by_o this_o say_n flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o holy_a scripture_n mean_v this_o sinful_a nature_n of_o we_o which_o we_o have_v since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n for_o we_o have_v no_o more_o the_o uncorruptnesse_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o contrariwise_o we_o be_v utter_o ignorant_a or_o rather_o beastly_a and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o filthiness_n in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v aught_o worth_a furtherfoorth_o than_o god_n govern_v us._n lo_o in_o what_o wize_n we_o be_v term_v flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o be_v enlighten_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v not_o to_o we_o by_o heritage_n nor_o be_v have_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o that_o we_o be_v mad●_n the_o child_n of_o god_n through_o his_o beget_n of_o we_o new_a again_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n yea_o even_o after_o a_o special_a manner_n for_o we_o will_v hold_v altogether_o with_o the_o world_n if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o too_o ourselves_o again_o in_o the_o sixteen_o of_o saint_n matthew_n it_o be_v say_v that_o fl●she_n and_o blood_n have_v not_o tell_v peter_n and_o his_o fellow_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 18._o but_o the_o heavenly_a father_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o man_n be_v call_v flesh_n and_o blood_n namely_o when_o they_o be_v compare_v untoo_o god_n to_o show_v that_o we_o have_v not_o aught_o but_o corruption_n in_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v immortal_a nevertheless_o the_o scripture_n speak_v so_o of_o we_o in_o way_n of_o contempt_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v void_a of_o presumption_n but_o as_o for_o the_o apostle_n they_o be_v already_o regenerate_v by_o god_n spirit_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v more_o in_o they_o than_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o we_o have_v see_v by_o the_o text_n last_o allege_v yet_o notwithstanding_o whensoever_o they_o be_v compare_v with_o god_n then_o must_v all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o term_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o why_o for_o else_o it_o shall_v come_v in_o question_n too_o know_v whether_o the_o apostle_n may_v by_o their_o own_o worthiness_n and_o excellency_n prejudice_n the_o gospel_n as_o the_o foresay_a troubler_n pretend_v to_o shroud_v themselves_o withal_o but_o saint_n paul_n show_v that_o if_o god_n withdraw_v that_o which_o be_v his_o there_o shall_v remain_v nothing_o either_o in_o peter_n john_n or_o james_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n as_o other_o man_n be_v so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o corruption_n so_o then_o let_v we_o not_o abuse_v the_o gration_n gift_n that_o god_n have_v put_v into_o they_o to_o deface_v the_o majesty_n of_o he_o and_o the_o gospel_n thus_o you_o see_v after_o what_o manner_n saint_n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o apostle_n for_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o he_o say_v heeretoofore_o that_o if_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v gainsay_v the_o gospel_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v hate_v and_o curse_a as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o devil_n and_o how_o so_o be_v it_o meet_v that_o man_n shall_v speak_v so_o reproachful_o of_o the_o angel_n which_o be_v so_o noble_a creature_n and_o which_o be_v call_v the_o heavenly_a principality_n and_o power_n of_o god_n 2d_o it_o be_v no_o wrong_n at_o all_o too_o do_v so_o too_o they_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o yield_a of_o sovereign_a dominion_n too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v their_o head_n for_o it_o behove_v they_o too_o be_v place_v under_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v we_o have_v any_o wrong_n offer_v we_o though_o we_o be_v tread_v a_o hundred_o time_n under_o foot_n so_o it_o be_v to_o the_o exalt_v of_o god_n name_n and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v have_v his_o duty_n and_o supremacy_n reserve_v unto_o he_o so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v hear_v both_o of_o great_a and_o small_a and_o all_o man_n submit_v themselves_o too_o he_o in_o true_a obedience_n of_o faith_n now_o hereuppon_o we_o may_v gather_v how_o blind_a the_o wretched_a papist_n be_v in_o honour_v the_o apostle_n and_o martyr_n in_o such_o wise_a that_o god_n be_v rob_v of_o his_o honour_n and_o service_n insomuch_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o all_o that_o belong_v and_o be_v reserve_v to_o he_o be_v put_v to_o the_o spoil_n and_o pray_v among_o they_o for_o what_o difference_n make_v they_o between_o he_o and_o his_o creature_n and_o beside_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o good_a as_o bury_v because_o they_o pluck_v away_o the_o office_n from_o he_o that_o be_v give_v he_o for_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v our_o advocate_n too_o give_v we_o entrance_n untoo_o god_n his_o father_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v go_v right_a forth_o untoo_o he_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o have_v our_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n hear_v they_o have_v set_v up_o a_o infinite_a multitude_n of_o advocate_n patroness_n and_o intercessor_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v jacke_n out_o of_o office_n now_o when_o we_o see_v that_o the_o creature_n have_v obtain_v such_o honour_n among_o man_n that_o by_o that_o mean_v god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v thrust_v back_o and_o his_o word_n bear_v down_o thereby_o we_o perceyve_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v turn_v all_o upside_o down_o therefore_o how_o soever_o the_o world_n go_v let_v our_o esteem_v of_o man_n be_v after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o god_n may_v hold_v still_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o and_o if_o we_o compare_v he_o with_o his_o creature_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o all_o be_v but_o vanity_n and_o whatsoever_o commendation_n they_o have_v here_o the_o same_o be_v a_o record_n which_o god_n give_v we_o of_o his_o love_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v keep_v onward_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o be_v exalt_v yea_o and_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o we_o can_v honour_v god_n as_o he_o deserve_v but_o by_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o his_o word_n for_o all_o they_o that_o make_v many_o ceremony_n to_o bear_v man_n in_o hand_n that_o they_o desire_v to_o serve_v god_n be_v mislike_v of_o he_o until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v subdue_v to_o he_o and_o also_o to_o his_o word_n and_o that_o also_o be_v a_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n stryve_v for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o he_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o too_o have_v god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n talk_v of_o but_o he_o will_v also_o have_v every_o man_n to_o receyve_v the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n without_o gainsay_v and_o hereby_o we_o see_v how_o that_o nowadays_o all_o religion_n be_v decay_v and_o
it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o bring_v in_o man_n opinion_n in_o that_o case_n to_o wrap_v ourselves_o in_o any_o doubt_n as_o the_o papist_n do_v now_o adays_o who_o have_v none_o other_o buckler_n against_o we_o but_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n counsel_n and_o antiquity_n howbeit_o when_o they_o have_v throng_v all_o the_o world_n together_o will_v it_o be_v able_a to_o countervail_v the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n no_o certain_o now_o than_o we_o may_v well_o mock_v at_o their_o foolishness_n after_o the_o example_n of_o s._n paul_n and_o say_v that_o if_o the_o pope_n and_o all_o the_o rabble_n of_o his_o stink_a clergy_n have_v the_o angel_n on_o their_o side_n it_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o comparison_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v all_o sovereign_a power_n and_o before_o who_o all_o knee_n ought_v to_o bow_v not_o only_o of_o mortal_a creature_n but_o also_o even_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v aloft_o in_o heaven_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o philippian_n 23._o where_o this_o say_n be_v apply_v to_o his_o person_n in_o that_o god_n swear_v that_o all_o knee_n shall_v bow_v before_o he_o &_o all_o tongue_n confess_v that_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v glorify_v you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o way_n for_o we_o to_o commend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o abide_v unremoved_a by_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n &_o when_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n or_o that_o to_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o sing_v god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o grace_n to_o be_v full_o resolve_v in_o our_o mind_n it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o always_o to_o it_o without_o change_v this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o this_o sentence_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n show_v how_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o of_o his_o gospel_n that_o he_o have_v preach_v for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o teach_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o set_v forth_o man_n nor_o counsel_n they_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n but_o that_o he_o set_v forth_o god_n and_o seek_v not_o to_o please_v man_n but_o jesus_n christ_n afterward_o he_o add_v that_o his_o gospel_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o that_o it_o be_v revel_v to_o he_o from_o above_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o it_o have_v not_o be_v enough_o for_o s._n paul_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n in_o general_a except_o he_o have_v show_v therewith_o that_o he_o have_v be_v a_o true_a &_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n can_v well_o enough_o away_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v of_o very_o great_a estimation_n among_o we_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o know_v what_o it_o mean_v nor_o cease_v to_o be_v entangle_v in_o store_n of_o error_n &_o to_o have_v our_o wit_n rove_a here_n &_o there_o then_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n the_o gospel_n be_v and_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n chalendge_v that_o faithfulness_n of_o teach_v the_o gospel_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o whit_n of_o it_o be_v change_v let_v the_o same_o be_v accurse_v and_o this_o yet_o again_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o when_o the_o papist_n read_v this_o place_n they_o do_v nothing_o but_o scoff_n at_o it_o and_o god_n also_o have_v dull_v they_o so_o as_o there_o be_v less_o wit_n in_o they_o than_o in_o little_a child_n for_o they_o understand_v it_o thus_o namely_o that_o paul_n mean_v that_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v another_o gospel_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v write_v a_o book_n and_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v write_v by_o he_o than_o they_o shall_v utter_o reject_v it_o because_o the_o gospel_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v already_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o think_v not_o that_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o paul_n epistle_n be_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o gospel_n but_o they_o rather_o surmise_v that_o he_o have_v write_v some_o story_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o if_o any_o other_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o upon_o the_o refuzall_n thereof_o the_o same_o that_o have_v be_v so_o bring_v in_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o credit_n nor_o reputation_n but_o we_o see_v that_o in_o that_o case_n these_o wretched_a beast_n have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o understanding_n nor_o any_o taste_n at_o all_o so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o do_v it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n too_o mark_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v good_a cause_n too_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v even_o to_o show_v as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o finger_fw-la the_o doctrine_n which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o will_v we_o be_v of_o the_o flock_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o accept_v what_o soever_o be_v tell_v we_o in_o his_o name_n but_o we_o must_v put_v that_o thing_n in_o ●re_n which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o ten_o of_o saint_n john_n 5_o which_o be_v too_o be_v able_a by_o herken_v unto_o his_o voice_n too_o discern_v his_o voice_n from_o the_o voice_n of_o stranger_n and_o too_o be_v always_o full_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o other_o than_o he_o too_o who_o we_o ought_v too_o yield_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o way_n to_o be_v under_o the_o guide_n of_o our_o good_a shepherd_n be_v that_o we_o swerve_v not_o one_o way_n nor_o other_o when_o man_n assail_v we_o but_o every_o of_o we_o indever_n to_o draw_v home_o to_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o become_v not_o like_o waver_a reed_n but_o stand_v steadfast_a in_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v learn_v in_o so_o do_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v avow_v we_o to_o be_v of_o the_o company_n and_o number_n of_o his_o sheep_n and_o always_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o us._n but_o if_o we_o play_v those_o man_n which_o care_v not_o which_o end_n go_v forward_o in_o somuch_o that_o if_o a_o man_n tell_v they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_o he_o upon_o who_o we_o must_v rest_v to_o have_v any_o trust_n of_o salvation_n it_o be_v well_o they_o can_v like_v well_o enough_o of_o that_o doctrine_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n if_o a_o man_n set_v store_n of_o trumpery_n before_o they_o and_o go_v about_o too_o trouble_v their_o wit_n with_o this_o and_o that_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o away_o with_o that_o too_o and_o all_o be_v one_o to_o they_o if_o there_o be_v no_o discretion_n in_o we_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o have_v no_o certainty_n of_o faith_n for_o we_o must_v be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a master_n sing_v that_o that_o charge_n be_v commit_v to_o he_o by_o god_n his_o father_n and_o also_o that_o he_o have_v full_o perform_v the_o same_o if_o we_o be_v not_o at_o that_o point_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o opinion_n and_o imagination_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o in_o us._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o why_o s._n paul_n declare_v that_o the_o gospel_n which_o he_o have_v preach_v be_v the_o same_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n command_v to_o be_v preach_v and_o publish_v and_o whereof_o he_o be_v the_o author_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n his_o father_n see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o to_o it_o and_o so_o consequent_o when_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o another_o gospel_n he_o mean_v the_o minglemangle_n and_o corruption_n that_o may_v be_v put_v unto_o it_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v whatsoever_o be_v add_v or_o patch_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o man_n device_n so_o as_o they_o can_v not_o content_v themselves_o with_o the_o simpleness_n thereof_o but_o that_o they_o do_v vary_v from_o it_o be_v every_o whit_n of_o it_o mere_a lease_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o shun_v it_o as_o a_o poison_n for_o sure_o no_o poison_n can_v be_v so_o deadly_a as_o a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o if_o man_n do_v natural_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o thing_n that_o may_v hurt_v this_o transitory_a life_n ought_v not_o our_o soul_n to_o be_v much_o more_o precious_a too_o we_o what_o care_n ought_v we_o to_o have_v that_o they_o be_v not_o poison_v

that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v just_o avow_v they_o to_o be_v backslider_n and_o to_o have_v give_v over_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o be_v become_v stranger_n to_o he_o for_o they_o false_o abuse_v his_o name_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o variable_a 19_o according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v how_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o corinthian_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v yea_o

paul_n blame_v the_o galathians_n for_o be_v so_o carry_v away_o now_o if_o a_o man_n demand_v the_o reason_n how_o it_o be_v in_o that_o some_o will_v have_v make_v they_o to_o observe_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n as_o thing_n necessary_a and_o yet_o have_v god_n command_v they_o yea_o very_o howbeit_o that_o be_v but_o with_o a_o temporal_a condition_n for_o the_o people_n of_o old_a time_n so_o as_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v all_o cease_v at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forasmuch_o therefore_o as_o the_o galathians_n mingle_v the_o old_a figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n with_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n saint_n paul_n be_v not_o able_a too_o suffer_v it_o say_v that_o they_o be_v turn_v aside_o from_o god_n yea_o and_o utter_o fall_v away_o from_o he_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o worse_a thing_n than_o that_o namely_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v thereby_o disannul_v because_o man_n do_v always_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o deserve_v and_o earn_v righteousness_n before_o god_n to_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o their_o serve_v of_o he_o and_o so_o when_o these_o deceiver_n have_v bring_v in_o the_o say_a error_n that_o man_n ought_v to_o keep_v the_o old_a forworne_a figure_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o have_v threaped_a a_o meritorious_a service_n upon_o god_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n but_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v of_o free_a gift_n or_o else_o jesus_n christ_n be_v nothing_o worth_a i_o term_v it_o salvation_n of_o free_a gift_n because_o it_o be_v give_v we_o simple_o of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o bring_v not_o any_o thing_n with_o we_o to_o the_o attainment_n thereof_o but_o only_a a_o eager_a desire_n too_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o want_v therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n too_o come_v as_o poor_a beggar_n untoo_o god_n if_o we_o mind_n too_o be_v justify_v for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n for_o if_o we_o imagine_v never_o so_o small_a a_o drop_n of_o deserve_v in_o ourselves_o it_o stop_v we_o from_o come_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o without_o cause_n do_v a_o ancient_a doctor_n say_v that_o we_o can_v receyve_v the_o salvation_n that_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n except_o we_o have_v first_o dispatch_v the_o mynd_n of_o our_o own_o desert_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o utter_a wretchedness_n in_o ourselves_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n have_v yet_o more_o just_a reason_n too_o say_v that_o the_o galathians_n be_v carry_v away_o from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o from_o his_o father_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o this_o clog_n more_o namely_o that_o they_o be_v make_v too_o believe_v what_o other_o man_n ly_v and_o thereby_o bring_v in_o subjection_n too_o a_o slavishe_a bondage_n too_o be_v rob_v of_o the_o quietness_n of_o conscience_n which_o

the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n under_o the_o which_o we_o be_v hilde_n in_o bondage_n as_o for_o example_n according_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o hereafter_o for_o as_o now_o i_o do_v

in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o the_o act_n now_o we_o see_v in_o effect_n why_o saint_n paul_n blame_v the_o galathians_n for_o fall_v away_o like_o perjure_a person_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o our_o

to_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n and_o simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n without_o waver_v one_o way_n or_o other_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o christian_n no_o nor_o yet_o to_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o baptism_n but_o we_o must_v continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v heretofore_o our_o lord_n

of_o god_n his_o father_n now_o the_o gospel_n show_v wherefore_o he_o be_v come_v what_o his_o office_n be_v the_o benefit_n that_o we_o receyve_v by_o he_o and_o what_o his_o power_n be_v towards_o

when_o we_o be_v plunge_v in_o so_o many_o error_n trumperye_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v utter_o unknown_a too_o us._n see_v that_o god_n have_v now_o of_o his_o own_o

this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v in_o this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n furthermore_o to_o put_v the_o galathians_n to_o the_o great_a shame_n he_o set_v before_o they_o their_o call_n by_o grace_n these_o word_n from_o he_o that_o have_v call_v you_o may_v be_v refer_v as_o well_o too_o jesus_n christ_n as_o too_o god_n the_o father_n for_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o matter_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o saint_n paul_n mean_v too_o say_v therefore_o he_o cast_v the_o galathians_n in_o the_o
by_o his_o authority_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n which_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v these_o namely_o that_o man_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n that_o the_o gate_n of_o paradise_n be_v open_v untoo_o we_o and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v we_o for_o our_o heritage_n so_o as_o we_o be_v make_v pattaker_n of_o all_o the_o

than_o that_o all_o this_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o such_o as_o come_v too_o set_v trouble_n after_o we_o have_v be_v

parttaker_n of_o all_o heavenly_a benefit_n or_o if_o we_o make_v account_n of_o our_o own_o welfare_n ought_v not_o every_o of_o we_o too_o shun_v those_o troubler_n and_o too_o cast_v they_o out_o

you_o see_v then_o that_o they_o can_v well_o enough_o confess_v in_o general_a term_n that_o the_o gospel_n ought_v too_o be_v preach_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o know_v not_o what_o

the_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o by_o the_o way_n it_o ought_v too_o make_v paul_n doctrine_n of_o the_o more_o authority_n that_o he_o speak_v so_o bold_o in_o the_o

that_o we_o must_v rather_o hold_v they_o accurse_v than_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v of_o the_o gospel_n he_o do_v well_o too_o speak_v of_o himself_o first_o and_o

of_o all_o the_o world_n without_o gaynsay_v therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o saint_n paul_n shall_v use_v that_o protestation_n for_o if_o any_o man_n exempt_v his_o own_o doctrine_n by_o

owe_v too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n according_a as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o how_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o bring_v down_o all_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o man_n may_v not_o presume_v too_o set_v up_o their_o bristle_n nor_o too_o challenge_v aught_o to_o themselves_o but_o that_o such_o as_o ween_v themselves_o too_o be_v most_o excellent_a may_v

have_v good_a reason_n to_o hold_v they_o so_o at_o the_o staff_n end_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o any_o such_o promise_n what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o we_o know_v that_o the_o

we_o now_o shall_v we_o be_v wise_a than_o he_o howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o man_n wit_n have_v be_v so_o tickelishe_a to_o devise_v store_n of_o ceremony_n in_o the_o

yet_o must_v we_o always_o continue_v in_o the_o unity_n which_o god_n have_v set_v among_o us._n scythe_n we_o here_o this_o must_v we_o not_o 〈◊〉_d be_v worse_o than_o 〈…〉_o and_o cruel_a than_o the_o brute_n and_o wild_a beast_n if_o we_o be_v not_o move_v too_o bestow_v god_n gift_n too_o the_o relief_n of_o our_o neighbour_n i_o mean_v of_o the_o faithful_a now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o saint_n paul_n meaning_n in_o effect_n be_v that_o see_v god_n have_v bind_v we_o too_o do_v good_a too_o all_o man_n because_o they_o be_v our_o own_o flesh_n no_o malice_n ought_v too_o hinder_v any_o of_o we_o from_o indever_v too_o discharge_v himself_o general_o towards_o all_o such_o as_o god_n offer_v too_o he_o and_o in_o who_o it_o be_v his_o will_n too_o try_v our_o kindness_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v gather_v we_o into_o his_o flock_n and_o knit_v we_o together_o in_o his_o name_n and_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n with_o one_o mouth_n it_o behove_v we_o of_o duty_n too_o be_v as_o brother_n one_o too_o another_o so_o that_o if_o we_o mind_n that_o he_o shall_v allow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n we_o must_v so_o

who_o god_n have_v so_o gather_v into_o his_o house_n and_o church_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n wherefore_o let_v we_o no_o more_o use_v these_o fond_a excuse_n too_o say_v i_o wot_v not_o who_o he_o be_v i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o he_o be_v not_o know_v of_o god_n yes_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o disdayne_v too_o open_a thy_o eye_n to_o

with_o all_o humility_n you_o see_v then_o that_o god_n our_o sovereign_a lord_n look_v down_o upon_o we_o that_o be_v but_o wretched_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n &_o filthiness_n yea_o and_o he_o not_o only_o voutsafe_v to_o say_v i_o know_v you_o but_o also_o protest_v i_o have_v adopt_v you_o for_o my_o child_n you_o be_v my_o workmanship_n you_o be_v my_o heir_n you_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n my_o member_n god_n voutsafe_v too_o speak_v after_o that_o fashion_n and_o we_o be_v so_o full_a of_o pride_n and_o stateliness_n that_o we_o despise_v such_o as_o be_v as_o good_a as_o

you_o see_v in_o effect_n what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o how_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o practice_v this_o lesson_n wherein_o the_o household_n folk_n of_o faith_n be_v chief_o
