mercy_n and_o truth_n alone_o not_o by_o our_o strength_n and_o industry_n forasmuch_o as_o our_o way_n be_v order_v hereby_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n before_o god_n and_o do_v deserve_v his_o wrath_n according_a to_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n say_v esai_n 55_o as_o far_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a than_o the_o earth_n so_o far_o do_v my_o way_n exceed_v you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v your_o righteousness_n be_v earthly_a and_o of_o no_o value_n wherefore_o you_o must_v bid_v it_o farewell_n and_o walk_v in_o i_o if_o you_o hope_v for_o salvation_n but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v us._n it_o be_v marvel_n how_o the_o credit_n of_o these_o word_n can_v stand_v wherein_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v that_o we_o be_v already_o save_v although_o live_v yet_o in_o earth_n and_o therefore_o in_o continual_a misery_n but_o he_o do_v so_o speak_v that_o he_o may_v more_o full_o express_v the_o power_n of_o the_o divine_a grace_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n against_o hypocrite_n who_o as_o though_o salvation_n be_v yet_o far_o of_o do_v in_o vain_a endeavour_n to_o get_v and_o obtain_v it_o by_o their_o work_n christ_n we_o be_v already_o save_v by_o christ_n for_o christ_n have_v already_o save_v we_o he_o have_v perform_v all_o thing_n which_o be_v require_v hereunto_o that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v he_o have_v overcome_v and_o subdue_v sin_n death_n hell_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o he_o have_v leave_v nothing_o for_o any_o man_n to_o care_n for_o he_o have_v also_o give_v all_o these_o thing_n unto_o we_o in_o baptism_n that_o who_o soever_o beleve_v in_o christ_n that_o he_o have_v perform_v they_o have_v they_o together_o in_o the_o same_o moment_n so_o that_o he_o have_v need_n of_o nothing_o more_o unto_o salvation_n but_o faith_n alone_o that_o he_o may_v firm_o believe_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o perform_v but_o mark_v how_o incomparable_a riches_n of_o his_o grace_n god_n have_v pour_v upon_o we_o in_o baptism_n who_o have_v deliver_v we_o even_o from_o those_o work_n whereby_o those_o foolish_a holy_a one_o go_v about_o to_o merit_v heaven_n and_o to_o be_v save_v for_o we_o must_v have_v heaven_n and_o be_v save_v before_o we_o can_v do_v any_o good_a work_n for_o that_o work_n can_v not_o merit_v heaven_n but_o heaven_n be_v before_o give_v of_o mere_a grace_n cause_v we_o to_o do_v good_a

from_o sin_n and_o death_n baptism_n what_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v after_o baptism_n wherefore_o all_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a after_o baptism_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o expectation_n of_o salvation_n and_o felicity_n to_o be_v reveal_v which_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n do_v now_o possess_v although_o hide_v they_o have_v all_o thing_n now_o certain_o but_o they_o be_v yet_o hide_v in_o faith_n which_o when_o as_o it_o be_v change_v knowledge_n be_v reveal_v all_o thing_n as_o they_o now_o have_v they_o shall_v appear_v which_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v when_o pleasant_a and_o wish_a death_n come_v 3.2_o 1._o joh._n 3.2_o according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o john_n dear_o belove_v now_o be_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o we_o know_v that_o when_o he_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o and_o every_o man_n that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purge_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a wherefore_o suffer_v not_o thyself_o to_o be_v deceive_v and_o to_o be_v seduce_v from_o this_o truth_n by_o those_o hypocrite_n which_o contemn_v faith_n do_v false_o affirm_v that_o salvation_n be_v far_o from_o thou_o and_o teach_v thou_o to_o endeavour_n in_o vain_a to_o attain_v unto_o it_o by_o thy_o work_n it_o be_v in_o thyself_o if_o thou_o believe_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v perform_v by_o christ_n even_o as_o he_o himself_o witness_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v within_o you_o luke_n 17._o so_o that_o all_o our_o life_n after_o baptism_n ought_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o expectation_n that_o that_o shall_v be_v reveal_v which_o be_v already_o in_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v comprehend_v as_o we_o be_v comprehend_v as_o paul_n

extinguish_v the_o knowledge_n of_o faith_n and_o carry_v man_n from_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o salvation_n we_o must_v cleave_v unto_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o say_v he_o have_v

after_o baptism_n that_o he_o may_v chastise_v our_o body_n by_o our_o ministry_n and_o declare_v the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o fight_n against_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o

himself_o say_v matth._n 5_o be_v you_o perfect_a as_o your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v perfect_a now_o god_n be_v perfect_a in_o this_o that_o he_o take_v away_o and_o pardon_v our_o

god_n of_o his_o mercy_n turn_v from_o we_o amen_o all_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o principal_a point_n follow_a 1_o christ_n reign_v when_o by_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o work_v the_o goodness_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o make_v they_o like_a unto_o god_n 2_o in_o such_o a_o kingdom_n the_o conscience_n enjoy_v peace_n consolation_n and_o rest_n when_o it_o understand_v and_o know_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o it_o and_o impute_v not_o sin_n 3_o therefore_o man_n bear_v all_o kind_n of_o tribulation_n and_o affliction_n by_o

second_o for_o that_o he_o lay_v the_o cross_n upon_o they_o that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v weaken_v and_o they_o bring_v to_o amendment_n 5_z he_o that_o forgive_v his_o debtor_n pertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o he_o that_o do_v not_o forgive_v they_o remain_v under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n these_o thing_n i_o think_v good_a to_o speak_v in_o this_o present_a place_n concern_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n or_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o same_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kingdom_n in_o

amen_n a_o sermon_n of_o d._n martin_n luther_n of_o prayer_n that_o prayer_n may_v be_v good_a in_o deed_n and_o may_v also_o be_v hear_v we_o must_v first_o consider_v that_o two_o thing_n be_v

that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o even_o all_o creature_n can_v not_o obtain_v so_o much_o as_o a_o grain_n by_o their_o petition_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n do_v obtain_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n for_o his_o own_o worthiness_n or_o the_o worthiness_n of_o his_o prayer_n but_o by_o the_o only_a goodness_n of_o god_n who_o prevent_v all_o our_o petition_n and_o desire_n provoke_v we_o to_o pray_v and_o desire_v of_o he_o by_o his_o gentle_a and_o bounteous_a promise_n and_o commandment_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v how_o great_a care_n he_o have_v over_o we_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o

the_o promise_n of_o the_o true_a and_o faithful_a god_n for_o therefore_o he_o have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v hear_v we_o yea_o and_o have_v command_v we_o to_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o sure_a and_o strong_a faith_n that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v be_v so_o hear_v as_o he_o say_v matth._n 21._o and_o mark_v 11_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v ask_v in_o prayer_n if_o you_o believe_v
