our_o use_n have_v vin_fw-fr turn_v away_o by_o adam_n sin_n all_o be_v restore_v again_o at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n so_o then_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o gather_v all_o

the_o prophet_n now_o then_o saint_n paul_n follow_v the_o common_a phrase_n of_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v create_v new_a again_o in_o jesus_n christ_n howbeit_o that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o church_n the_o world_n itself_o be_v not_o renew_v but_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o we_o be_v partaker_n already_a of_o the_o re●●●rement_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o

be_v a_o faithful_a expounder_n not_o that_o he_o restrain_v it_o too_o he_o alone_o 27._o but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o uncorruptness_n of_o mankind_n be_v

again_o so_o then_o we_o can_v not_o be_v bliss_v of_o god_n neither_o in_o our_o mea●e_n nor_o in_o our_o drink_n nor_o in_o the_o enjoy_n of_o any_o of_o all_o his_o creature_n be_v it_o not_o for_o

saint_n paul_n have_v thought_n that_o the_o angel_n be_v here_o among_o we_o too_o be_v as_o scholar_n and_o to_o hear_v the_o preach_n of_o god_n word_n but_o that_o be_v too_o fond_a and_o

the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n have_v nothing_o too_o do_v neither_o with_o baptism_n nor_o with_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o why_o for_o the_o angel_n be_v altogether_o spiritual_a but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o creep_v here_o beneath_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v convenient_a for_o our_o infirmity_n too_o make_v we_o come_v by_o little_a and_o little_a unto_o god_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v preach_v among_o we_o serve_v not_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o angel_n how_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v teach_v by_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o see_v present_o in_o the_o church_n let_v we_o mark_v first_o of_o all_o that_o although_o the_o angel_n behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n 10._o yet_o be_v it_o not_o mean_v that_o they_o be_v come_v too_o the_o perfection_n which_o be_v promise_v we_o for_o that_o be_v reserve_v too_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v the_o angel_n than_o know_v not_o thing_n yet_o but_o in_o part_n true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v muster_v in_o our_o state_n and_o take_v for_o like_a as_o they_o be_v near_a god_n than_o we_o so_o be_v they_o teach_v more_o familiar_o but_o howsoever_o they_o fa●●_n yet_o must_v they_o be_v fain_o too_o hide_v their_o eye_n as_o be_v show_v we_o in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o isaiah_n in_o the_o vision_n that_o be_v give_v he_o there_o albeit_o then_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v heavenly_a spirit_n and_o be_v familiar_o conversant_a with_o god_n as_o household_n servant_n of_o his_o kingdom_n yet_o have_v they_o their_o eye_n cover_v too_o show_v that_o they_o understand_v not_o all_o thing_n as_o yet_o and_o that_o their_o know_v be_v but_o in_o part_n for_o god_n must_v show_v they_o that_o they_o be_v but_o creature_n that_o they_o may_v thereby_o be_v hold_v in_o continual_a awe_n too_o humble_a themselves_o before_o he_o and_o to_o keep_v themselves_o in_o their_o

therefore_o that_o it_o may_v not_o grieve_v we_o that_o god_n conceal_v many_o thing_n from_o we_o the_o very_a angel_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o as_o not_o know_v all_o thing_n as_o yet_o then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n say_v that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v befall_v and_o come_v too_o pass_v at_o the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o all_o

it_o be_v that_o the_o angel_n know_v well_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o mankind_n but_o how_o that_o shall_v be_v do_v or_o at_o what_o time_n or_o by_o what_o mean_v that_o be_v hide_v from_o they_o that_o be_v the_o manner_n wherein_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o they_o profit_v namely_o by_o behold_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o shed_v forth_o his_o grace_n in_o that_o wise_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o too_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v wonder_v at_o such_o a_o miracle_n as_o ●hat_n god_n shall_v take_v those_o into_o his_o house_n that_o be_v stray_v

it_o see_v how_o god_n utter_v so_o great_a treasure_n it_o serve_v well_o too_o show_v we_o that_o whensoever_o there_o
guide_v i_o withal_o and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v again_o 7._o though_o i_o be_v beset_v round_o about_o with_o a_o million_o of_o enemy_n yet_o shall_v i_o not_o shrink_v and_o why_o for_o god_n be_v with_o i_o be_v we_o then_o as_o well_o persuade_v of_o god_n almyghtinesse_n as_o we_o confess_v it_o with_o our_o mouth_n sure_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o soon_o dismay_v neither_o shall_v our_o faith_n be_v shake_v at_o every_o brunt_n so_o then_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o inasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v so_o weak_a and_o every_o thing_n of_o nothing_o will_v scare_v we_o out_o of_o our_o wit_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n in_o we_o and_o our_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a come_v not_o from_o our_o heart_n so_o much_o the_o more_o therefore_o behove_v it_o we_o too_o put_v this_o lesson_n in_o ure_n and_o too_o exercyze_v it_o night_n and_o day_n that_o we_o may_v taste_v it_o thorough_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v so_o often_o mention_v unto_o we_o for_o we_o take_v it_o not_o too_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n but_o when_o our_o lord_n do_v so_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o dispose_v of_o his_o creature_n as_o he_o list_v himself_o and_o that_o nothing_o be_v able_a too_o let_v his_o determination_n nor_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v yield_v unto_o his_o promise_n that_o which_o they_o behyght_n we_o that_o be_v too_o say_v whensoever_o we_o shall_v seem_v too_o be_v at_o the_o point_n of_o undo_v and_o the_o devil_n shall_v give_v we_o so_o whole_a skirmish_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v no_o way_n too_o escape_v nor_o any_o end_n of_o our_o distress_n let_v we_o think_v thus_o with_o ourselves_o who_o be_v he_o that_o have_v speak_v it_o who_o be_v he_o that_o have_v promise_v too_o be_v our_o defender_n be_v it_o not_o he_o that_o be_v almighty_a can_v not_o he_o with_o one_o blast_n blow_v away_o all_o that_o the_o devil_n practise_v though_o all_o the_o world_n be_v against_o we_o what_o can_v it_o do_v so_o our_o lord_n vouchsafe_v too_o maintain_v our_o part_n after_o that_o manner_n must_v we_o advance_v god_n power_n above_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o may_v rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o god_n word_n and_o the_o power_n of_o bring_v too_o pass_v the_o thing_n contain_v therein_o be_v thing_n unseparable_a and_o we_o blaspheme_v god_n as_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v in_o doubt_n and_o perplexity_n whether_o he_o be_v able_a too_o perform_v his_o defend_n of_o we_o or_o no._n for_o sith_o he_o have_v promise_v it_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n he_o will_v perform_v it_o or_o else_o shall_v his_o power_n be_v shorten_v which_o be_v impossible_a and_o so_o you_o see_v why_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v here_o of_o god_n power_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o prophet_n in_o speak_v of_o the_o succour_n which_o god_n have_v always_o in_o readiness_n too_o rescue_v the_o faithful_a withal_o from_o death_n when_o they_o be_v plunge_a in_o it_o 18._o have_v common_o say_v be_v it_o not_o the_o god_n which_o have_v make_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n this_o shall_v seem_v too_o be_v far_o fetch_v for_o the_o case_n be_v that_o i_o be_o in_o some_o trouble_n and_o have_v none_o other_o refuge_n but_o only_a god_n pity_v of_o i_o whereof_o i_o seek_v too_o be_v assure_v and_o he_o tell_v i_o i_o have_v create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n he_o seem_v too_o send_v i_o very_o far_o and_o too_o make_v i_o leap_v out_o of_o god_n blessing_n into_o the_o warm_a sun_n but_o god_n tell_v of_o we_o that_o he_o create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v too_o do_v we_o too_o understand_v that_o it_o belong_v too_o he_o also_o too_o rule_v his_o creature_n that_o he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o as_o of_o his_o child_n that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n above_o or_o beneath_o which_o be_v not_o subject_a too_o he_o and_o that_o he_o turn_v all_o thing_n round_o about_o &_o too_o and_o fro_o as_o he_o list_v say_v he_o so_o then_o must_v we_o out_o of_o hand_n apply_v it_o too_o our_o benefit_n so_o as_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o his_o power_n have_v such_o pre-eminence_n as_o he_o be_v well_o able_a too_o root_n out_o whatsoever_o seem_v too_o be_v against_o we_o and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o you_o must_v always_o have_v the_o say_a chain_n to_o tie_v god_n promise_n &_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o ring_v of_o they_o to_o pass_v together_o and_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n above_o our_o ask_n and_o our_o think_n not_o without_o cause_n have_v he_o inclose_v here_o all_o that_o belong_v too_o our_o salvation_n for_o he_o that_o trust_v in_o god_n for_o one_o thing_n will_v not_o miss_v too_o enter_v into_o debate_v whether_o he_o will_v add_v a_o second_o benefit_n or_o a_o three_o that_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n will_v have_v we_o too_o look_v for_o all_o thing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n and_o he_o say_v above_o our_o ask_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v not_o fall_v asleep_a when_o we_o will_v be_v succour_v and_o govern_v at_o god_n hand_n or_o be_v fill_v with_o his_o benefit_n but_o if_o we_o believe_v in_o his_o word_n we_o must_v also_o be_v move_v too_o pray_v for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a proof_n of_o our_o faith_n when_o we_o resort_v so_o unto_o our_o god._n 23._o and_o for_o that_o cause_n be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a must_v discharge_v all_o their_o care_n into_o his_o lap_n for_o it_o be_v the_o true_a record_n of_o it_o when_o at_o all_o time_n of_o our_o need_n we_o resort_v too_o he_o who_o will_v have_v we_o too_o seek_v all_o our_o welfare_n in_o he_o alone_o the_o faithful_a therefore_o must_v be_v diligent_a in_o pray_v 2._o according_a as_o s._n paul_n say_v in_o another_o text_n where_o he_o exhort_v we_o too_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n and_o set_v down_o this_o diligence_n also_o too_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o slothfulness_n too_o pluck_v we_o back_o but_o albeit_o we_o give_v over_o all_o our_o wit_n too_o pray_v unto_o god_n yet_o notwithstanding_o consider_v the_o necessity_n that_o compel_v we_o too_o resort_v unto_o he_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o outgo_v our_o request_n and_o too_o do_v much_o more_o for_o we_o than_o we_o require_v and_o for_o proof_n thereof_o when_o any_o of_o the_o faithful_a feel_v his_o own_o infirmity_n he_o will_v strait_n way_n humble_v himself_o and_o thereupon_o repair_v unto_o god_n and_o that_o not_o for_o once_o only_o but_o every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o afterward_o he_o will_v resort_v to_o he_o both_o for_o his_o body_n and_o his_o soul_n and_o think_v thus_o alas_o yet_o want_v i_o such_o a_o thing_n i_o must_v too_o he_o again_o lo_o how_o the_o faithful_a do_v thorough_o sift_v out_o the_o misery_n and_o want_n whereunto_o they_o be_v subject_a thereby_o too_o provoke_v themselves_o too_o pray_v unto_o god_n but_o do_v not_o we_o think_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o wile_n which_o we_o perceive_v not_o and_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o provide_v for_o they_o or_o else_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o for_o although_o we_o feel_v that_o diverse_a thing_n do_v pinch_v we_o yet_o be_v there_o many_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v unknown_a and_o hide_a from_o we_o so_o then_o it_o will_v always_o be_v find_v true_a that_o god_n outgo_v all_o our_o prayer_n and_o all_o our_o wish_n mark_v that_o for_o one_o point_n therefore_o let_v we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v and_o endeavour_n too_o resort_v continual_o unto_o god_n and_o yet_o therewithal_o let_v we_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o watch_v over_o we_o and_o too_o be_v much_o more_o sharp_a syght_v than_o we_o in_o espy_v what_o we_o have_v

wherewith_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o as_o now_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v abse_z for_o he_o shall_v be_v then_o much_o better_a in_o

too_o conceive_v as_o now_o because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a also_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o whereas_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v be_v so_o glorify_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o be_v god_n of_o oneself_o same_o substance_n with_o his_o father_n this_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v full_o know_v then_o whereas_o now_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a shadow_n of_o it_o furthermore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v by_o god_n his_o father_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o advancement_n shall_v serve_v too_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ix_o of_o isaiah_n he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o for_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o also_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o he_o be_v in_o
