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 â—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 by_o any_o trumpery_n of_o man_n too_o be_v short_a
yet_o for_o all_o that_o for_o asmuch_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v untoo_o we_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n and_o be_v conversant_a in_o this_o world_n and_o there_o despize_v yea_o and_o abace_v even_o too_o a_o most_o shameful_a death_n wherein_o he_o receyve_v all_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o we_o give_v not_o ear_n too_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o father_n be_v prejudice_v thereby_o accord_v also_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o declare_v in_o that_o he_o say_v 16._o he_o that_o despize_v you_o despize_v i_o and_o he_o that_o reject_v i_o reject_v the_o live_a god_n that_o send_v i_o mark_v then_o whereunto_o the_o order_n tend_v which_o s._n paul_n keep_v namely_o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o willing_o honour_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o accept_v his_o doctrine_n for_o certain_a and_o infallible_a god_n be_v set_v at_o naught_o and_o we_o can_v say_v that_o our_o intent_n be_v too_o worship_n he_o for_o he_o will_v reject_v all_o our_o doing_n and_o why_o for_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o be_v enough_o too_o prove_v we_o rebel_n if_o we_o separate_v the_o son_n from_o his_o father_n and_o s._n paul_n add_v express_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rayze_v from_o the_o dead_a too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o apostleship_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o less_o esteem_v and_o also_o that_o man_n shall_v match_v he_o with_o the_o number_n &_o company_n of_o the_o other_o apostle_n according_a also_o as_o he_o be_v add_v too_o they_o after_o that_o jesus_n christ_n cease_v too_o be_v any_o more_o upon_o earth_n for_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o the_o thing_n wherewith_o the_o false_a apostle_n which_o come_v too_o overthrow_v all_o upbray_v he_o be_v this_o how_o now_o say_v they_o he_o have_v not_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o peter_n and_o john_n be_v he_o be_v a_o thing_n bear_v out_o of_o seazon_n and_o how_o can_v he_o show_v that_o he_o have_v receyve_v his_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n s._n paul_n declare_v that_o if_o they_o will_v needs_o inquyre_v of_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o ryze_a again_o ought_v not_o too_o have_v diminish_v it_o sure_o though_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v bring_v low_a while_o he_o have_v the_o veil_n of_o man_n nature_n upon_o he_o whereby_o his_o glory_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n hide_v yet_o be_v he_o not_o abace_v in_o himself_o 13._o for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o angel_n acknowledge_v he_o for_o their_o soverayne_a king_n and_o although_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o stable_n and_o lay_v upon_o the_o ground_n as_o a_o creature_n destitute_a of_o all_o help_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n bare_a record_n of_o he_o 2._o to_o be_v short_a the_o majesty_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v always_o sufficient_o avouch_v as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o this_o world_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o there_o be_v a_o much_o excellent_a glory_n in_o his_o resurrection_n accord_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o first_o too_o the_o roman_n 4_o that_o then_o he_o be_v show_v too_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o we_o also_o have_v see_v in_o the_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 14._o that_o as_o he_o suffer_v under_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o he_o be_v rayze_v again_o through_o the_o wonderful_a power_n of_o god_n spirit_n so_o then_o s._n paul_n show_v that_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o conversant_a with_o we_o nowadays_o yet_o must_v not_o his_o majesty_n therefore_o be_v diminish_v nor_o deface_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o yield_v he_o his_o due_a and_o deserve_a obedience_n and_o receyve_v his_o word_n reverent_o without_o all_o gaynesay_n this_o warning_n be_v very_o behooveful_a for_o us._n for_o what_o a_o number_n of_o lightheaded_a person_n do_v we_o see_v which_o will_v have_v jesus_n christ_n too_o be_v here_o in_o visible_a shape_n their_o say_n be_v that_o they_o will_v fain_o see_v jesus_n christ_n conversant_a here_o beneathe_v and_o that_o then_o they_o will_v at_o the_o first_o push_n accept_v what_o soever_o he_o speak_v to_o they_o so_o as_o there_o shall_v need_v but_o one_o word_n of_o his_o mouth_n to_o ravish_v they_o and_o there_o shall_v need_v none_o other_o teach_v nor_o any_o other_o man_n to_o be_v much_o with_o us._n yea_o but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o come_v down_o have_v perform_v his_o charge_n which_o be_v commit_v to_o he_o of_o god_n his_o father_n that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o have_v preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o sufficient_o confirm_v it_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n afterward_o be_v rise_v again_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o apostle_n and_o now_o that_o he_o have_v all_o sovereign_a dominion_n so_o as_o the_o angel_n bow_v their_o knee_n before_o he_o and_o that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o majesty_n as_o surmount_v all_o glory_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n ought_v not_o all_o that_o which_o he_o have_v do_v to_o suffice_v we_o thorough_o when_o it_o please_v he_o too_o send_v we_o mortal_a man_n and_o too_o send_v forth_o the_o message_n and_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o his_o gospel_n in_o brittle_a vessel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o will_v have_v we_o to_o receyve_v they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o mockery_n to_o say_v that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v with_o we_o and_o in_o our_o company_n we_o will_v obey_v he_o for_o if_o heaven_n and_o earth_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o quake_v under_o he_o and_o his_o majesty_n be_v know_v even_o to_o the_o devil_n of_o hell_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o continue_v blockish_a and_o pretend_v that_o he_o be_v to_o far_o of_o from_o we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v sufficient_o that_o he_o have_v not_o forsake_v we_o see_v we_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o although_o he_o dwell_v not_o with_o we_o here_o by_o low_a in_o visible_a shape_n yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o shall_v be_v continual_o join_v with_o he_o and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v our_o head_n he_o will_v govern_v his_o body_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o unseparable_a bond_n betwixt_o he_o and_o us._n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o ought_v of_o right_a to_o yield_v he_o obedience_n and_o his_o resurrection_n ought_v to_o touch_v we_o to_o the_o quick_a &_o to_o work_v such_o a_o reverend_a awefulnesse_n in_o we_o that_o whensoever_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v speak_v of_o 16_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v the_o name_n whereof_o the_o prophet_n speak_v whereby_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o swear_v and_o whereat_o they_o ought_v to_o bow_v their_o knee_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o effect_n that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o measure_v the_o gospel_n after_o the_o respect_n and_o reputation_n of_o those_o that_o speak_v unto_o we_o for_o why_o they_o be_v frail_a man_n neither_o be_v that_o the_o thing_n whereon_o we_o ought_v to_o stay_v for_o that_o be_v as_o much_o too_o say_v as_o we_o shall_v settle_v our_o salvation_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o man_n which_o may_v cause_v we_o too_o rest_n upon_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n which_o speak_v and_o how_o in_o the_o majesty_n that_o be_v give_v he_o by_o god_n his_o father_n for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v then_o show_v too_o the_o full_a when_o he_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a then_o sing_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v obtain_v such_o authority_n when_o he_o be_v lift_v up_o into_o heaven_n as_o too_o have_v superiority_n over_o all_o creature_n let_v we_o learn_v too_o submit_v ourselves_o too_o he_o and_o let_v the_o same_o serve_v to_o hold_v we_o in_o awe_n that_o his_o word_n may_v be_v receyve_v of_o we_o and_o we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o he_o govern_v we_o and_o that_o it_o become_v we_o too_o suffer_v ourselves_o too_o be_v teach_v in_o his_o name_n and_z too_o understand_v that_o although_o the_o word_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n &_o our_o salvation_n must_v be_v ground_v thereupon_o as_o well_o as_o though_o heaven_n open_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n too_o show_v we_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n lo_o say_v i_o how_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o be_v teach_v in_o this_o world_n until_o god_n have_v gather_v we_o into_o his_o
