paul_n now_o use_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o argument_n the_o better_a to_o confirm_v we_o in_o this_o hope_n whereunto_o he_o have_v exhort_v we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o which_o be_v that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v so_o light_o set_v by_o by_o the_o contemner_n of_o his_o gospel_n who_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o his_o heavenly_a majesty_n neither_o will_v he_o suffer_v his_o creature_n to_o lift_v themselves_o up_o against_o he_o &_o to_o withstand_v he_o thus_o we_o see_v by_o how_o much_o more_o we_o shall_v be_v confirm_v in_o the_o hope_n of_o our_o salvation_n see_v that_o god_n have_v a_o interest_n therein_o &_o be_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n which_o we_o be_v diligent_o to_o observe_v for_o although_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v god_n exceed_o assure_v we_o that_o he_o have_v great_a care_n of_o our_o salvation_n yet_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o wonderful_a mistrustful_a as_o that_o we_o continual_o stand_v in_o doubt_n

it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v but_o that_o god_n will_v mainteyn_fw-mi his_o majesty_n against_o the_o pride_n and_o enmity_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o diligent_o mark_v that_o jesus_n

himself_o from_o the_o other_o evangelist_n that_o he_o stay_v and_o stand_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n more_o than_o the_o other_o evangelist_n do_v the_o other_o that_o with_o a_o great_a liveliness_n he_o declare_v unto_o we_o jesus_n christ_n virtue_n and_o power_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o other_o evangelist_n speak_v well_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o be_v rather_o brief_o and_o short_o as_o who_o have_v collect_v some_o small_a summary_n and_o abridgemente_n thereof_o 6.1.2_o john_n 6.1.2_o but_o s._n john_n make_v a_o long_a and_o

&_o feed_v so_o great_a a_o multitude_n for_o thereupon_o s._n john_n come_v to_o enter_v into_o speech_n and_o to_o show_v how_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o eternal_a life_n we_o see_v then_o this_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v declare_v at_o large_a by_o s._n john_n and_o that_o with_o a_o more_o great_a dilate_v &_o discourse_v thereon_o then_o be_v set_v out_o by_o the_o other_o evangelist_n yea_o we_o see_v that_o they_o quite_o and_o clean_o omit_v that_o doctrine_n so_o much_o also_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o rest_n for_o after_o that_o he_o have_v touch_v some_o miracle_n and_o history_n 18._o john_n 12._o to_o 18._o he_o always_o come_v back_o to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o take_v occasion_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o matter_n to_o handle_v and_o

evangelist_n the_o gospel_n according_a to_o s._n io._n give_v light_n to_o the_o other_o evangelist_n but_o this_o doctrine_n so_o then_o now_o we_o see_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o s._n john_n &_o the_o other_o three_o evangelist_n insomuch_o that_o to_o speak_v right_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o s._n john_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o key_n to_o give_v we_o some_o entrance_n and_o open_n to_o the_o other_o for_o if_o we_o read_v s._n matthew_n s._n mark_v and_o s._n luke_n we_o shall_v not_o so_o well_o know_v wherefore_o jesus_n

substance_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o read_v this_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o stand_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o history_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o the_o order_n which_o he_o will_v keep_v hereafter_o it_o be_v true_a that_o these_o thing_n right_o deserve_v to_o be_v more_o large_o diduct_v and_o lay_v out_o but_o because_o there_o be_v great_a

withal_o he_o begin_v to_o prepare_v we_o to_o that_o which_o he_o will_v speak_v afterward_o that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o what_o end_n this_o word_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n be_v send_v we_o of_o

gather_v that_o our_o mouth_n must_v always_o be_v stop_v and_o that_o we_o can_v never_o praise_v god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v cause_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o great_a goodness_n for_o to_o say_v true_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o miserable_a sinner_n to_o bless_v and_o magnify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v that_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n that_o

because_o we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v so_o dear_o buy_v we_o aught_o by_o good_a reason_n to_o bestow_v all_o our_o thought_n &_o deed_n in_o the_o blessing_n &_o magnify_v of_o his_o most_o holy_a

that_o it_o have_v so_o please_v he_o to_o accept_v we_o unto_o himself_o and_o therefore_o this_o say_n be_v not_o set_v down_o without_o cause_n that_o peace_n be_v grant_v to_o man_n not_o for_o

seek_v after_o none_o other_o reason_n why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n appear_v to_o
we_o but_o because_o that_o god_n have_v compassion_n of_o our_o misery_n as_o it_o be_v also_o say_v in_o john_n that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n 3.16_o john_n 3.16_o as_o that_o he_o spare_v not_o to_o deliver_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n to_o death_n for_o us._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o after_o this_o manner_n come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o

that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o he_o say_v that_o his_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o his_o blood_n drink_v in_o deed_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v why_o the_o holy_a table_n

we_o consider_v to_o what_o end_n it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n
want_v of_o ability_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n for_o our_o excuse_n yet_o will_v he_o defend_v we_o and_o god_n will_v also_o adjudge_v we_o for_o innocent_n because_o our_o sin_n be_v thus_o repair_v thus_o we_o see_v at_o what_o end_n we_o must_v begin_v and_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v great_a courage_n and_o be_v much_o better_o dispose_v to_o keep_v our_o tongue_n whenas_o we_o shall_v be_v

much_o &_o of_o iudgemet_fw-la there_o be_v some_o which_o expound_v it_o as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o some_o sudden_a violence_n but_o we_o be_v rather_o tell_v that_o death_n overcome_v he_o not_o but_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n his_o father_n now_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o understande_v that_o our_o

if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o speak_v of_o but_o of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v always_o stand_v in_o doubt_n for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o we_o shall_v hope_v for_o life_n at_o his_o hand_n see_v he_o himself_o be_v headlong_o cast_v down_o into_o death_n sure_o we_o shall_v never_o perceive_v any_o divine_a nor_o heavenly_a

now_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v descend_v into_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n before_o such_o time_n as_o he_o shall_v be_v exalt_v into_o the_o glory_n of_o

that_o they_o acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n and_o now_o we_o be_v to_o handle_v that_o which_o follow_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n tell_v they_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n his_o father_n he_o say_v you_o have_v hear_v of_o i_o heretofore_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o that_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n which_o they_o in_o their_o own_o judgement_n think_v to_o be_v best_a but_o for_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o be_v short_a we_o must_v here_o gather_v a_o doctrine_n unto_o ourselves_o which_o

incline_v to_o diverse_a temptation_n it_o be_v meet_a we_o shall_v build_v upon_o god_n and_o upon_o his_o word_n yea_o very_o howbeit_o he_o will_v not_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o speak_v to_o us._n that_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n but_o we_o must_v be_v well_o assure_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o come_v from_o he_o whereof_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o

therefore_o you_o must_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a distrust_v i_o because_o i_o be_o a_o faithful_a witness_n for_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n
in_o doubt_n to_o be_v draw_v this_o way_n and_o that_o we_o must_v altogether_o endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o our_o conscience_n and_o then_o be_v jesus_n christ_n our_o physician_n who_o be_v able_a to_o remedy_n us._n and_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n and_o acknowledge_v our_o offence_n beseech_v he_o not_o to_o remember_v our_o life_n pass_v but_o to_o give_v we_o warning_n thereof_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o it_o will_v please_v he_o so_o to_o

of_o the_o ascension_n act_n first_o 9_o and_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v these_o thing_n while_o they_o behold_v he_o be_v take_v up_o a_o high_a and_o a_o cloud_n receive_v he_o up_o out_o of_o their_o sight_n 10_o and_o while_o they_o look_v up_o steadfast_o toward_o heaven_n as_o he_o go_v behold_v two_o man_n stand_v by_o they_o in_o white_a apparel_n 11_o which_o also_o say_v you_o man_n of_o galilee_n why_o stand_v you_o gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n this_o same_o jesus_n which_o be_v take_v up_o from_o you_o into_o heaven_n shall_v so_o come_v even_o as_o you_o have_v see_v he_o go_v into_o heaven_n now_o we_o have_v at_o this_o time_n to_o handle_v the_o matter_n which_o s._n luke_n here_o set_v down_o of_o the_o apostle_n behold_v of_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n into_o heaven_n now_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o know_v the_o history_n but_o we_o be_v also_o to_o note_v that_o he_o set_v down_o this_o as_o a_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o sure_o the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o only_o profitable_a but_o also_o necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n howbeit_o we_o shall_v never_o profit_v ourselves_o great_o by_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n without_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n and_o therefore_o saint_n luke_n say_v that_o the_o apostle_n see_v he_o ascend_v and_o say_v beside_o that_o they_o abide_v still_o gaze_v there_o until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o be_v tell_v that_o they_o must_v tarry_v no_o long_o but_o return_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o do_v their_o office_n as_o be_v command_v they_o until_o the_o judgement_n day_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o he_o say_v of_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v not_o be_v call_v again_o into_o question_n very_o true_a it_o be_v that_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v which_o have_v beléeve_v and_o not_o see_v wherefore_o we_o must_v believe_v this_o ascension_n rather_o than_o if_o we_o have_v see_v it_o for_o since_o the_o apostle_n see_v it_o 20.29_o john_n 20.29_o and_o tell_v we_o of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o any_o whit_n to_o doubt_v thereof_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o word_n of_o s._n luke_n that_o a_o cloud_n receive_v he_o up_o out_o of_o their_o sight_n now_o here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o heaven_n open_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n may_v have_v see_v the_o glorious_a estate_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o they_o shall_v loose_v the_o sight_n of_o he_o by_o mean_a of_o a_o cloud_n because_o our_o lord_n know_v well_o enough_o our_o condition_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o correct_v of_o our_o high_a mind_n it_o be_v good_a we_o shall_v be_v restrain_v yea_o very_o for_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v see_v into_o heaven_n we_o will_v have_v take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o have_v grow_v haughty_a as_o we_o see_v in_o deed_n we_o be_v thereto_o overmuch_o give_v for_o we_o be_v too_o too_o mad_a head_a and_o without_o modesty_n to_o desire_v to_o understand_v even_o those_o secret_n of_o god_n which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o know_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o this_o cloud_n shall_v be_v between_o they_o and_o he_o by_o this_o than_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o we_o must_v be_v humble_v and_o not_o be_v so_o arrogant_a as_o to_o ascend_v up_o into_o the_o heaven_n to_o search_v after_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o instruction_n be_v we_o to_o learn_v by_o this_o place_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o appear_v two_o angel_n but_o saint_n luke_n call_v they_o man_n according_a to_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o because_o angel_n be_v natural_o spiritual_a we_o can_v see_v they_o except_o they_o show_v themselves_o in_o some_o visible_a shape_n we_o see_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o our_o lord_n will_v from_o the_o beginning_n have_v they_o appear_v in_o man_n shape_n howbeit_o he_o leave_v always_o some_o token_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v angel_n for_o if_o we_o understand_v they_o to_o be_v only_o as_o mortal_a man_n we_o will_v never_o do_v they_o that_o honour_n which_o unto_o they_o appertein_v which_o will_v derogate_v from_o the_o give_a credit_n unto_o their_o message_n and_o therefore_o god_n always_o set_v a_o mark_n on_o they_o that_o we_o may_v know_v they_o for_o behold_v why_o it_o be_v here_o say_v 20.12_o john_n 20.12_o that_o they_o be_v clad_v in_o white_a apparel_n and_o in_o the_o resurrection_n also_o of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o appear_v in_o white_a garment_n herein_o than_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v to_o declare_v that_o we_o shall_v reverent_o receive_v they_o and_o undoubted_o credit_n their_o message_n thus_o i_o say_v we_o see_v why_o s._n luke_n here_o say_v that_o they_o be_v apparel_v in_o white_a garment_n now_o we_o be_v here_o to_o note_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o matter_n for_o god_n will_v not_o have_v any_o one_o of_o they_o to_o be_v lose_v nor_o yet_o overslipt_v such_o be_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n over_o all_o the_o world_n if_o the_o angel_n then_o have_v such_o a_o majesty_n in_o their_o appearance_n unto_o we_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o the_o glorious_a appear_v of_o our_o good_a god_n for_o the_o brightness_n of_o god_n his_o glorious_a majesty_n be_v not_o only_o as_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o far_o excel_v the_o brightness_n of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o sun_n if_o they_o shoane_v here_o all_o at_o once_o in_o the_o world_n so_o then_o whenas_o we_o see_v that_o the_o angel_n shall_v be_v so_o precious_a unto_o we_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o wonderful_o reverence_v they_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o yea_o even_o the_o very_a think_v of_o he_o shall_v cause_v we_o marvellous_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v no_o body_n in_o respect_n of_o he_o who_o be_v majesty_n itself_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o speak_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o angel_n although_o they_o appear_v but_o in_o man_n shape_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o their_o speech_n you_o man_n of_o galilee_n say_v they_o why_o stand_v you_o gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n it_o be_v common_o think_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v here_o call_v galilean_n by_o way_n of_o reproach_n for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o galilean_n be_v of_o no_o great_a estimation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n that_o go_v of_o they_o as_o if_o the_o angel_n shall_v have_v say_v o_o you_o miserable_a blockhead_n know_v you_o not_o that_o as_o he_o be_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n that_o so_o he_o shall_v also_o come_v again_o howbeit_o you_o perceive_v not_o why_o this_o be_v thus_o speak_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o angel_n call_v the_o apostle_n galilean_n because_o they_o be_v take_v to_o be_v such_o &_o jesus_n christ_n be_v also_o so_o call_v and_o when_o the_o disciple_n shall_v have_v be_v accuse_v to_o be_v of_o the_o company_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v ask_v they_o 2d_o matth._n 2d_o be_v not_o you_o also_o of_o galilée_n and_o since_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n the_o wicked_a have_v use_v this_o say_n as_o may_v be_v perceive_v by_o the_o wicked_a apostate_n julian_n who_o at_o his_o death_n say_v thou_o have_v overcome_v i_o o_fw-fr galilean_a being_n

those_o country_n man_n moreover_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o angel_n here_o reprove_v they_o for_o they_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v ascend_v into_o
heaven_n because_o he_o have_v many_o time_n foretell_v they_o and_o also_o say_v unto_o they_o 7._o john_n 16._o 7._o it_o be_v expedient_a for_o you_o that_o i_o depart_v hence_o for_o if_o i_o go_v not_o away_o the_o comforter_n will_v not_o come_v unto_o you_o but_o if_o i_o depart_v i_o will_v send_v he_o unto_o you_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o have_v forget_v it_o see_v they_o stand_v gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n to_o see_v the_o issue_n thereof_o for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v he_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v expedient_a that_o he_o shall_v depart_v from_o they_o and_o have_v also_o foretell_v they_o that_o he_o must_v reign_v and_o that_o they_o shall_v serve_v he_o here_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o have_v likewise_o foretell_v they_o that_o he_o must_v sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n his_o father_n to_o make_v intercession_n for_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o they_o right_o show_v that_o they_o have_v clean_o forget_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v so_o oftentimes_o manifest_v unto_o they_o now_o this_o their_o ignorance_n shall_v serve_v we_o for_o a_o good_a advertisement_n for_o this_o be_v not_o

by_o the_o ascend_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o as_o touch_v this_o say_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v even_o as_o they_o have_v see_v he_o go_v up_o into_o heaven_n that_o declare_v that_o we_o must_v

which_o surpass_v all_o man_n understanding_n this_o then_o be_v the_o first_o point_n of_o this_o place_n that_o be_v worthy_a the_o observation_n for_o since_o we_o natural_o have_v our_o mind_n

which_o be_v the_o very_a mean_a why_o he_o become_v a_o stumble_a block_n unto_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n namely_o say_v that_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n

of_o the_o prophet_n now_o it_o be_v hereupon_o say_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v exalt_v although_o at_o the_o first_o there_o be_v no_o show_n of_o it_o yet_o god_n will_v increase_v

may_v take_v away_o our_o conceive_a offence_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o overthwartnes_n of_o our_o understanding_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o refuse_v to_o come_v unto_o our_o

to_o wit_n jesus_n christ_n neither_o must_v we_o be_v abash_v as_o at_o a_o strange_a &_o unknown_a thing_n although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o in_o so_o base_a a_o state_n

unto_o us._n moreover_o by_o this_o say_n of_o a_o desert_n or_o barren_a land_n the_o prophet_n mean_v that_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v no_o more_o increase_v or_o grow_v up_o than_o a_o tree_n in_o the_o desert_n where_o be_v neither_o moistness_n nor_o any_o goodness_n behold_v than_o he_o be_v like_a unto_o a_o disfigure_a or_o ill_a favour_a tree_n which_o

there_o shall_v be_v no_o mean_n here_o on_o earth_n to_o make_v he_o flourish_v but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v increase_v from_o heaven_n &_o that_o by_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n his_o

to_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o deed_n this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v but_o a_o poor_a twig_n whenas_o he_o can_v not_o get_v a_o place_n to_o be_v lodge_v

the_o faithful_a to_o understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v reject_v &_o contemn_v as_o touch_v the_o world_n but_o the_o principal_a matter_n for_o they_o to_o understand_v be_v when_o

see_v in_o sum_n what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o this_o place_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v at_o this_o day_n come_v to_o voice_n and_o a_o few_o weak_a people_n shall_v behold_v it_o what_o will_v they_o say_v there_o be_v but_o a_o small_a handful_n of_o man_n which_o believe_v the_o gospel_n howbeit_o if_o they_o be_v the_o great_a number_n i_o can_v be_v well_o content_v to_o go_v

here_o then_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n set_v down_o unto_o we_o how_o to_o praise_v god_n the_o one_o be_v because_o he_o show_v we_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n righteousness_n and_o power_n in_o the_o creation_n and_o frame_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o the_o order_n and_o dispose_n of_o the_o same_o therefore_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o honour_n and_o exalt_v he_o not_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o make_v he_o honourable_a but_o the_o scripture_n use_v this_o kind_n of_o speech_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o heaven_n above_o all_o worldly_a thing_n when_o as_o we_o will_v glorify_v our_o god_n according_a unto_o his_o worthiness_n the_o other_o be_v that_o because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o

such_o sort_n lead_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o this_o life_n as_o that_o he_o be_v see_v to_o live_v virtuous_o &_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v he_o never_o able_a to_o refrain_v his_o

and_o mark_v beside_o why_o the_o prophet_n add_v that_o god_n will_v make_v he_o subject_a to_o infirmity_n this_o word_n infirmity_n have_v a_o large_a scope_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o import_v all_o the_o thing_n which_o make_v man_n contemptible_a as_o we_o see_v in_o many_o place_n thereof_o for_o poverty_n sickness_n grief_n of_o mind_n or_o contemptiblenesse_n and_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o good_a grace_n either_o to_o speak_v or_o do_v well_o neither_o yet_o good_a gesture_n or_o behaviour_n nor_o habiltie_a of_o wit_n and_o discretion_n be_v all_o call_v in_o the_o scripture_n infirmity_n to_o be_v short_a this_o be_v to_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o prophet_n have_v already_o touch_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v like_o a_o deform_a creature_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o in_o who_o be_v no_o show_n of_o reputation_n and_o credit_n among_o man_n and_o yet_o not_o such_o a_o one_o neither_o but_o that_o there_o appear_v in_o he_o sure_a and_o certain_a mark_n and_o token_n that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v honour_v as_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n 1.14_o john_n 1.14_o but_o it_o be_v in_o such_o sort_n darken_v by_o his_o suffering_n and_o his_o infirmity_n such_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n or_o virtue_n see_v in_o he_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n nor_o favour_n in_o he_o why_o he_o shall_v be_v esteem_v and_o have_v in_o honour_n we_o must_v also_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v before_o recite_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v beat_v and_o scourge_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n suffer_v the_o horrible_a anguish_n of_o his_o judgement_n &_o in_o his_o body_n bear_v the_o fearful_a torment_n that_o may_v be_v and_o over_o and_o beside_o all_o this_o he_o be_v so_o vile_o think_v of_o as_o that_o he_o be_v not_o esteem_v to_o be_v place_v among_o the_o most_o wicked_a and_o slavishe_a company_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v punish_v wherefore_o since_o the_o case_n thus_o stand_v let_v we_o understande_v that_o forsomuche_o as_o god_n spare_v not_o he_o that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n shall_v not_o be_v spare_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v give_v we_o occasion_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o wax_v proud_a and_o take_v in_o hand_n to_o justify_v ourselves_o or_o else_o not_o cast_v our_o sin_n behind_o our_o back_n but_o daily_o think_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v ashamed_a whenas_o we_o see_v how_o dear_a a_o recompense_n be_v make_v for_o they_o for_o be_v this_o such_o a_o trifle_a matter_n if_o a_o miserable_a and_o wretched_a thief_n shall_v have_v commit_v many_o theft_n and_o robbery_n and_o after_o that_o his_o wicked_a deed_n be_v know_v the_o son_n of_o a_o king_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o be_v arraign_v and_o condemn_v for_o the_o same_o and_o so_o bear_v the_o punishment_n thereof_o &_o the_o thief_n to_o be_v discharge_v and_o pardon_v shall_v he_o rejoice_v and_o make_v a_o scoff_n at_o he_o whenas_o he_o see_v the_o son_n of_o a_o king_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n that_o he_o deserve_v even_o so_o at_o this_o present_a fare_v it_o with_o us._n for_o behold_v how_o jesus_n christ_n the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n be_v imprison_v and_o we_o deliver_v he_o condemn_v and_o we_o pardon_v he_o

have_v he_o thus_o afflict_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v 4.28_o act_n 2.23_o &_o 4.28_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v forsake_v as_o that_o the_o wicked_a one_o may_v torment_v he_o at_o their_o will_n and_o pleasure_n for_o as_o saint_n peter_n say_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n they_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o he_o otherwise_o then_o have_v be_v determine_v before_o by_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o the_o prophet_n bring_v we_o always_o back_o to_o this_o that_o we_o must_v lift_v our_o mind_n unto_o god_n &_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n &_o offence_n even_o in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v discharge_v of_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o rude_o handle_v that_o we_o may_v look_v up_o the_o cherefullier_n and_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o god_n will_v not_o remember_v our_o fault_n with_o make_v we_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v detestable_a in_o his_o sight_n wherefore_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v know_v all_o this_o we_o shall_v have_v great_o profit_v not_o only_o for_o a_o day_n but_o also_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o

we_o must_v not_o cease_v more_o &_o more_o to_o comforme_v ourselves_o thereto_o and_o for_o that_o more_o lively_a express_v here_o of_o see_v why_o the_o prophet_n go_v on_o further_a and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n to_o wit_n that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v forget_v his_o own_o life_n for_o the_o redeem_n of_o our_o life_n &_o the_o price_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n here_o the_o prophet_n again_o set_v before_o we_o the_o willing_a obedience_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o as_o he_o have_v say_v that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v be_v afflict_v even_o so_o likewise_o he_o now_o say_v that_o the_o son_n yield_v himself_o willing_o thereto_o thrust_v himself_o forward_o to_o become_v a_o

and_o therefore_o it_o must_v necessary_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v yield_v and_o offer_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o death_n which_o he_o suffer_v for_o without_o that_o as_o yesterday_o be_v declare_v our_o rebellion_n have_v never_o be_v repare_v before_o god_n but_o when_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o soul_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v press_v and_o ready_a to_o suffer_v the_o condemnation_n that_o we_o deserve_v in_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o we_o have_v by_o his_o death_n full_a assurance_n of_o salvation_n and_o this_o he_o himself_o say_v in_o the_o

hebr._n 5.6_o &_o 7.17_o forsooth_o because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o sacrificer_n of_o god_n his_o father_n and_o how_o true_o even_o with_o a_o

unto_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v in_o this_o say_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o unto_o his_o apostle_n and_o in_o show_v himself_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n among_o they_o but_o here_o we_o be_v to_o understande_v what_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n luke_n mean_v by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v not_o by_o this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n everlasting_a life_n as_o we_o common_o take_v it_o and_o as_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v here_o be_v take_v as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o that_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o we_o wait_v for_o through_o hope_n but_o saint_n luke_n take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o spiritual_a government_n by_o which_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v we_o in_o his_o

meaning_n of_o s._n luke_n but_o to_o make_v the_o matter_n more_o easy_a and_o plain_a let_v we_o take_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n clean_o contrary_a and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o life_n of_o man_n which_o follow_v their_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o in_o deed_n if_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v go_v from_o we_o and_o let_v we_o go_v whether_o we_o list_v ourselves_o sure_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o &_o clean_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v mean_v a_o reformation_n and_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o but_o misery_n &_o corruption_n in_o

god_n have_v reform_v he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o take_v out_o this_o lesson_n to_o know_v what_o we_o be_v until_o such_o time_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reform_v us._n why_o then_o will_v we_o have_v a_o great_a mischief_n than_o this_o as_o to_o have_v satan_n so_o to_o possess_v we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o master_n and_o thus_o i_o say_v we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n unto_o we_o even_o to_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o kingdom_n that_o we_o may_v be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o his_o justice_n now_o by_o the_o way_n we_o be_v also_o to_o see_v how_o high_o we_o ought_v to_o esteem_v of_o this_o grace_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n draw_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o lo_o here_o be_v all_o our_o blessedness_n that_o god_n be_v our_o king_n in_o deed_n although_o king_n covet_v to_o have_v kingdom_n to_o increase_v their_o honour_n and_o wealth_n and_o to_o be_v lord_n over_o nation_n without_o any_o regard_n to_o a_o better_a end_n yet_o if_o any_o prince_n be_v endue_v with_o excellent_a grace_n every_o man_n will_v think_v himself_o bless_v that_o be_v his_o subject_n but_o when_o jesus_n christ_n reign_v over_o we_o we_o have_v a_o king_n that_o be_v not_o only_o endue_v with_o many_o excellent_a grace_n but_o also_o who_o reign_v over_o we_o for_o our_o benefit_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n he_o be_v no_o whit_n better_v by_o we_o for_o we_o can_v no_o more_o increase_n than_o we_o can_v diminish_v 16.2_o psal_n 16.2_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v already_o say_v be_v very_o true_a that_o we_o be_v bless_v when_o as_o god_n set_v up_o his_o kingly_a throne_n among_o we_o to_o reign_v over_o us._n here_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o wit_n to_o esteem_v and_o make_v much_o of_o such_o a_o benefit_n when_o god_n bestow_v it_o upon_o we_o now_o the_o mean_a come_v by_o the_o gospel_n we_o also_o see_v why_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v so_o oftentimes_o of_o the_o gospel_n 13.24.31.33.44.45_o mat._n 13.24.31.33.44.45_o call_v it_o the_o

we_o be_v reform_v which_o thing_n the_o gospel_n work_v by_o call_v we_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o show_v we_o that_o we_o must_v be_v regenerate_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n since_o than_o it_o be_v so_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v like_a unto_o jesus_n christ_n &_o forsake_v whatsoever_o be_v in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n without_o good_a cause_n and_o in_o deed_n as_o without_o it_o the_o devil_n reign_v and_o by_o reason_n thereof_o be_v call_v the_o king_n of_o this_o world_n even_o so_o when_o jesus_n christ_n cause_v his_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v in_o any_o country_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v reign_v over_o you_o and_o be_v your_o king_n but_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o all_o they_o which_o dwell_v in_o that_o country_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v do_v obey_v god_n for_o we_o see_v some_o of_o they_o lift_v themselves_o up_o and_o show_v forth_o their_o iniquity_n which_o before_o lie_v hide_v in_o they_o and_o othersome_a contemn_v the_o doctrine_n in_o who_o be_v no_o fruit_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o christ_n jesus_n have_v always_o a_o little_a congregation_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o how_o so_o forsooth_o because_o there_o be_v no_o king_n but_o have_v subject_n nevertheless_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o inestimable_a benefit_n when_o god_n offer_v we_o his_o gospel_n for_o what_o will_v we_o more_o than_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o us._n loe_o here_o i_o be_o and_o take_v charge_n of_o you_o to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v be_v under_o my_o wing_n and_o protection_n now_o what_o can_v you_o desire_v more_o we_o know_v then_o that_o all_o this_o come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o all_o our_o happiness_n if_o we_o can_v right_o understand_v it_o moreover_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o bring_v we_o into_o his_o kingdom_n and_o take_v we_o unto_o himself_o it_o be_v because_o he_o will_v clothe_v we_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o with_o immortality_n &_o incorruption_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v enter_v into_o his_o promise_a glory_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o receive_v this_o gospel_n we_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o what_o this_o be_v only_o but_o a_o entrance_n howbeit_o we_o must_v go_v on_o a_o great_a deal_n further_o into_o it_o which_o thing_n be_v bring_v to_o pass_v when_o as_o he_o deliver_v we_o from_o this_o curse_a bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o set_v we_o at_o the_o liberty_n which_o he_o promise_v us._n thus_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v a_o entrance_n but_o we_o must_v go_v still_o forward_o
egypt_n we_o shall_v there_o see_v their_o wonderful_a unthankfulness_n for_o when_o god_n command_v they_o to_o go_v against_o their_o enemy_n and_o promise_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v victory_n they_o will_v not_o go_v on_o but_o murmur_v against_o he_o why_o say_v they_o whether_o shall_v we_o go_v it_o shall_v seem_v that_o he_o go_v about_o to_o destroy_v we_o and_o to_o send_v we_o like_o sheep_n to_o the_o butchery_n loe_o such_o be_v their_o rebellion_n contrariwise_o when_o god_n say_v stir_v not_o they_o will_v needs_o march_v on_o and_o will_v not_o be_v stay_v what_o say_v they_o we_o loose_a time_n why_o march_v we_o not_o forward_o here_o we_o see_v how_o that_o we_o will_v march_v when_o god_n say_v we_o shall_v not_o again_o when_o he_o say_v march_v on_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v step_v one_o foot_n forward_o to_o be_v short_a it_o seem_v we_o will_v endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o gainsay_v god_n loe_o here_o our_o deal_n sure_o we_o be_v much_o of_o the_o boldness_n of_o mad_a man_n for_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o a_o mad_a man_n will_v be_v strong_a enough_o both_o to_o kill_v himself_o and_o other_o for_o when_o god_n will_v retire_v we_o we_o be_v mad_a and_o will_v make_v havoc_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o again_o when_o god_n will_v have_v we_o march_v on_o we_o be_v so_o slack_a as_o that_o every_o finger_n be_v a_o

to_o stay_v and_o march_v on_o when_o he_o bid_v us._n thus_o we_o see_v why_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o every_o one_o his_o several_a office_n and_o charge_n when_o he_o ordain_v household_n he_o declare_v what_o authority_n the_o man_n shall_v have_v over_o his_o wife_n and_o family_n and_o what_o the_o woman_n obedience_n be_v unto_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o child_n to_o the_o parent_n so_o he_o ordain_v a_o law_n for_o every_o one_o and_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o effect_n be_v his_o ordinance_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o civil_a government_n for_o he_o declare_v

a_o lesson_n in_o writing_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v so_o well_o order_v we_o 14.25_o rom._n 14.25_o as_o that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o regard_n unto_o he_o we_o will_v attempt_v nothing_o which_o he_o command_v we_o not_o we_o see_v also_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n now_o if_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o doubt_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v we_o can_v but_o continual_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v set_v down_o a_o rule_n unto_o we_o what_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o what_o we_o

here_o a_o pledge_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o want_v his_o help_n so_o that_o we_o stick_v unto_o he_o moreover_o this_o be_v one_o notable_a comfort_n for_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v

else_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o every_o thing_n will_v make_v we_o quail_v because_o we_o be_v as_o frail_a as_o be_v possible_a contrariwise_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n be_v arm_v at_o

that_o although_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v far_o from_o we_o yet_o be_v we_o near_o he_o through_o his_o power_n and_o might_n which_o thing_n he_o show_v we_o in_o the_o

unto_o he_o like_o beast_n but_o let_v we_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v that_o be_v there_o give_v us._n when_o we_o see_v god_n give_v we_o food_n for_o our_o body_n it_o be_v a_o great_a

therein_o for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v 22_o 1._o cor._n 11._o 22_o we_o have_v house_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o and_o therefore_o we_o come_v not_o hither_o to_o fill_v our_o belly_n wherefore_o then_o forsooth_o it_o be_v a_o testimony_n that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v feed_v our_o soul_n what_o shall_v our_o soul_n be_v feed_v with_o bread_n and_o wine_n no_o no_o that_o be_v

christ_n never_o go_v beyond_o his_o bond_n whatsoever_o therefore_o that_o we_o wait_v for_o let_v we_o neither_o look_v this_o way_n nor_o that_o but_o stand_v to_o his_o word_n moreover_o because_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v often_o abuse_v let_v we_o look_v narrow_o and_o wary_o whether_o it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v speak_v unto_o we_o or_o not_o and_o although_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o

the_o doctrine_n why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v allow_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o if_o we_o follow_v this_o doctrine_n we_o can_v do_v amiss_o and_o contrariwise_o this_o be_v a_o trim_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v we_o be_v christian_n when_o in_o very_a deed_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o a_o vain_a opinion_n and_o now_o let_v we_o behold_v the_o faith_n which_o be_v teach_v in_o

be_v it_o that_o teach_v you_o thus_o our_o ancestor_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o certainty_n in_o their_o belief_n but_o a_o vain_a opinion_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o great_a grace_n of_o god_n to_o we_o ward_n in_o that_o he_o have_v pluck_v we_o from_o that_o religion_n for_o we_o go_v not_o now_o by_o think_v and_o guess_v but_o we_o must_v stay_v ourselves_o upon_o this_o infallible_a truth_n which_o he_o have_v give_v us._n in_o very_a deed_n we_o can_v do_v thus_o without_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ratify_v the_o same_o in_o our_o heart_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v a_o jolly_a kind_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v god_n have_v say_v it_o and_o this_o be_v his_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o until_o such_o time_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v wrought_v in_o we_o to_o show_v we_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v authentical_a we_o shall_v but_o stumble_v but_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o faithful_a witness_n of_o god_n his_o

we_o at_o this_o present_a be_v to_o stand_v upon_o for_o jesus_n christ_n promise_v to_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o his_o apostle_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o johns_n gospel_n 15.26_o john_n 14.16.26_o &_o 15.26_o where_o this_o promise_n be_v set_v down_o that_o jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o they_o when_o i_o be_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n i_o will_v send_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o say_n then_o he_o confirm_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o may_v constant_o look_v for_o it_o it_o follow_v john_n baptize_v with_o water_n but_o you_o shall_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o this_o be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o he_o give_v they_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v my_o office_n be_v to_o baptize_v not_o with_o water_n but_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o god_n my_o father_n hâ—th_v not_o give_v i_o this_o office_n in_o vain_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v feel_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o by_o experience_n let_v we_o therefore_o understand_v this_o one_o point_n that_o nothing_o be_v in_o vain_a give_v to_o jesus_n christ_n now_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o this_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v for_o his_o member_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v all_o draw_v grace_n with_o grace_n 1.16_o john_n 1.16_o out_o of_o his_o fullness_n and_o so_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o since_o jesus_n christ_n have_v this_o office_n of_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o must_v needs_o feel_v it_o by_o proof_n and_o be_v partaker_n of_o such_o a_o benefit_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v but_o a_o uncertain_a title_n and_o no_o truth_n in_o it_o which_o be_v very_a blasphemy_n so_o to_o say_v we_o be_v therefore_o to_o understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n acquaint_v we_o with_o such_o a_o baptism_n for_o mark_v what_o it_o be_v that_o he_o say_v to_o his_o apostle_n now_o s._n john_n baptist_n have_v tell_v the_o jew_n before_o that_o he_o baptize_v but_o with_o water_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o so_o say_v be_v this_o that_o they_o will_v have_v give_v overmuch_o honour_n unto_o he_o and_o so_o have_v derogate_a from_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o refuse_v this_o and_o say_v that_o he_o do_v but_o administer_v the_o visible_a sign_n of_o water_n so_o that_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o he_o to_o give_v grace_n to_o baptism_n but_o be_v the_o office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o do_v it_o behold_v say_v he_o i_o baptize_v you_o with_o water_n 1.26_o mat._n 3.11_o mark_n 1.7_o luke_n 3.16_o john_n 1.26_o but_o there_o be_v one_o who_o you_o yet_o know_v not_o that_o have_v power_n to_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o shoe_n latchet_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o untie_v for_o although_o i_o come_v before_o he_o yet_o be_o i_o no_o body_n and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o must_v have_v all_o the_o honour_n and_o this_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o john_n baptist_n and_o now_o jesus_n christ_n use_v the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o aught_o to_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n unto_o you_o for_o it_o be_v know_v unto_o you_o long_o ago_o how_o that_o the_o privilege_n of_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v reserve_v to_o i_o alone_o now_o here_o may_v arise_v a_o question_n why_o jesus_n christ_n rather_o speak_v of_o john_n baptist_n they_o of_o any_o other_o the_o reason_n be_v manifest_a because_o the_o greatness_n of_o john_n baptist_n as_o they_o have_v abuse_v it_o be_v a_o let_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o honour_v as_o he_o ought_v &_o although_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o any_o other_o yet_o will_v it_o have_v be_v think_v notwithstanding_o that_o john_n may_v well_o enough_o have_v be_v compare_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o choose_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o most_o excellent_a man_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v show_v that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o world_n deceive_v but_o that_o it_o be_v himself_o unto_o who_o all_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v give_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o where_o man_n go_v about_o to_o get_v themselves_o credit_n &_o estimation_n among_o man_n saint_n john_n baptist_n here_o do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o abase_v himself_o 30._o john_n 3._o 30._o because_o he_o will_v have_v no_o more_o give_v unto_o he_o than_o become_v he_o and_o after_o he_o have_v use_v many_o speech_n he_o conclude_v that_o he_o must_v be_v abase_v and_o jesus_n christ_n exalt_v neither_o be_v this_o hypocritical_o say_v of_o he_o but_o in_o truth_n and_o in_o deed_n and_o i_o will_v it_o please_v god_n that_o the_o world_n will_v take_v forth_o this_o lesson_n but_o what_o we_o be_v so_o continual_o give_v to_o this_o wicked_a superstition_n as_o that_o we_o look_v still_o unto_o the_o creature_n who_o be_v so_o many_o veil_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o behold_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v what_o the_o cause_n have_v be_v of_o the_o set_n up_o of_o such_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o idol_n in_o the_o world_n for_o look_v how_o many_o holy_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n even_o so_o many_o idol_n have_v be_v set_v up_o yea_o although_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v liberal_o bestow_v upon_o we_o aught_o to_o be_v argument_n sufficient_a to_o have_v we_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o &_o not_o in_o creature_n and_o the_o papist_n when_o they_o will_v honour_v their_o saint_n say_v it_o be_v write_v praise_v god_n in_o his_o saint_n i_o will_v not_o call_v they_o beast_n 150.1_o psal_n 150.1_o for_o take_v of_o this_o place_n after_o this_o sort_n see_v the_o prophet_n in_o say_v praise_n god_n in_o his_o holy_a place_n or_o in_o his_o sanctuary_n mean_v the_o heaven_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v praise_v this_o divine_a majesty_n who_o rule_v in_o his_o heavenly_a throne_n over_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o yet_o they_o so_o magnify_v the_o saint_n among_o they_o as_o that_o as_o they_o themselves_o say_v god_n be_v not_o know_v from_o his_o apostle_n or_o else_o be_v place_v all_o in_o one_o rank_n with_o the_o rest_n now_o this_o devilish_a proverb_n which_o be_v among_o they_o a_o man_n can_v know_v god_n from_o his_o apostle_n will_v be_v a_o testimony_n against_o they_o that_o they_o have_v tear_v in_o piece_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n like_a mastiff_n cur_n &_o
in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o age_n we_o see_v he_o incline_v to_o all_o mischief_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o new_a man_n but_o rather_o like_o a_o bruit_n beast_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v but_o that_o the_o sacrament_n have_v his_o full_a nature_n and_o propriety_n for_o baptism_n of_o itself_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o be_v renew_a and_o then_o if_o we_o be_v not_o so_o the_o fault_n be_v we_o because_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v jesus_n christ_n to_o accomplish_v his_o grace_n in_o we_o and_o so_o for_o want_v of_o belief_n we_o in_o such_o sort_n close_o up_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o entrance_n for_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o will_v large_o bestow_v upon_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v never_o without_o his_o power_n and_o virtue_n howbeit_o we_o receive_v no_o fruit_n nor_o benefit_n by_o it_o because_o it_o can_v enter_v without_o faith_n we_o have_v here_o therefore_o to_o note_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o in_o the_o water_n but_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o beside_o jesus_n christ_n geve_v we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v thorough_o to_o mark_v that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v benefit_v by_o baptism_n we_o must_v not_o stick_v so_o much_o to_o the_o water_n as_o though_o our_o salvation_n be_v enclose_v therein_o but_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o must_v work_v all_o moreover_o we_o see_v that_o the_o world_n have_v receive_v this_o doctrine_n very_o pernicious_o for_o the_o papist_n think_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v tie_v to_o it_o and_o they_o charm_v it_o like_o conjurer_n geve_v to_o the_o water_n the_o power_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o that_o child_n that_o be_v not_o baptize_v be_v damn_v wherefore_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o this_o danger_n they_o be_v not_o only_o content_v to_o

child_n may_v die_v without_o baptism_n and_o so_o they_o think_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o baptism_n consist_v in_o the_o water_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_a the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v lay_v clean_o aside_o but_o as_o for_o we_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o in_o the_o water_n but_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o

when_o we_o speak_v of_o any_o thing_n concern_v our_o salvation_n no_o man_n for_o we_o think_v it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v resign_v his_o office_n

we_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o he_o reprove_v this_o their_o curiosity_n beside_o when_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o you_o shall_v receive_v power_n after_o the_o holy_a

have_v not_o know_v god_n and_o obey_v the_o gospel_n to_o wit_n unto_o all_o incredulous_a person_n now_o by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o only_a port_n or_o gate_n unto_o salvation_n &_o life_n because_o jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v to_o confound_v all_o those_o which_o have_v not_o beléeve_v moreover_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n enlighten_v

moreover_o we_o here_o see_v how_o god_n mean_v to_o certify_v we_o of_o our_o salvation_n for_o if_o jesus_n christ_n must_v come_v to_o do_v vengeance_n upon_o all_o those_o which_o have_v not_o beléeve_v the_o gospel_n but_o resist_v it_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n now_o it_o be_v there_o say_v unto_o we_o that_o when_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n with_o a_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n we_o must_v not_o stand_v in_o doubt_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o love_n to_o we_o ward_n neither_o yet_o doubt_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v not_o stand_v to_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v offer_v for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o redemption_n and_o therefore_o all_o they_o which_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o
