that_o have_v make_v all_o for_o we_o as_o good_a servant_n shall_v be_v more_o careful_a of_o their_o master_n honour_n &_o profit_n they_o of_o their_o own_o now_o let_v we_o give_v thanks_n to_o

we_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v unthankful_a son_n to_o he_o and_o let_v we_o pray_v unto_o he_o to_o confirm_v this_o faith_n and_o to_o increase_v it_o in_o we_o every_o day_n till_o we_o come_v to_o a_o perfect_a man_n in_o jesus_n christ_n let_v we_o desire_v of_o he_o to_o give_v we_o grace_n to_o behold_v this_o his_o wonderful_a and_o divine_a work_n of_o his_o creation_n wherein_o he_o have_v show_v his_o wisdom_n power_n mercy_n and_o justice_n unto_o all_o man_n that_o we_o may_v magnify_v it_o as_o it_o do_v require_v worthy_o with_o our_o heart_n and_o set_v forth_o his_o

second_o lecture_n upon_o the_o creed_n which_o be_v upon_o the_o second_o article_n and_o in_o jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n our_o lord_n which_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o first_o article_n go_v before_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o believe_v as_o concern_v god_n the_o father_n in_o his_o creation_n now_o follow_v consequent_o what_o we_o have_v to_o believe_v of_o god_n the_o son_n jesus_n christ_n as_o concern_v his_o incarnation_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n which_o be_v the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o creed_n as_o we_o divide_v it_o and_o here_o in_o this_o article_n you_o must_v understande_v and_o repeat_v as_o in_o the_o former_a so_o in_o this_o also_o i_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o put_v my_o whole_a confidence_n in_o he_o that_o he_o be_v my_o only_a saviour_n and_o that_o god_n will_v for_o his_o sake_n forgive_v i_o all_o my_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n &_o to_o know_v he_o unless_o we_o also_o believe_v in_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n and_o know_v he_o also_o as_o john_n repeat_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v this_o be_v life_n eternal_a that_o they_o know_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o only_a very_a god_n &_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n joh._n 17._o so_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n join_v and_o match_v in_o one_o the_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n as_o he_o say_v also_o in_o another_o place_n except_o you_o believe_v that_o i_o be_o he_o you_o shall_v die_v in_o your_o sin_n we_o see_v then_o that_o if_o we_o must_v believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v one_o god_n with_o the_o father_n and_o a_o creator_n other_o wise_a it_o be_v idolatry_n to_o believe_v in_o any_o that_o be_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v believe_v in_o he_o this_o be_v warrant_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o own_o commandment_n say_v in_o the_o 19_o of_o johns_n gospel_n to_o his_o disciple_n let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v believe_v you_o in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o a_o notable_a place_n to_o prove_v this_o matter_n where_o we_o may_v also_o learn_v that_o if_o we_o believe_v in_o god_n our_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v trouble_v nor_o waver_v hither_o &_o thither_o not_o have_v any_o place_n to_o rest_v in_o for_o therefore_o in_o our_o misery_n &_o danger_n be_v we_o vex_v &_o trouble_v out_o of_o measure_n because_o we_o put_v not_o our_o full_a trust_n in_o the_o father_n &_o the_o son_n now_o let_v we_o see_v with_o what_o title_n our_o christ_n be_v beautify_v &_o adorn_v with_o for_o our_o comfort_n &_o consolation_n first_o of_o all_o he_o be_v here_o call_v jesus_n which_o be_v a_o hebrew_n word_n &_o sound_v in_o english_a as_o much_o as_o saviour_n which_o name_n the_o angel_n give_v unto_o he_o by_o god_n appointment_n before_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n his_o mother_n as_o we_o read_v notable_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o of_o matth_n she_o shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o son_n and_o call_v his_o name_n jesus_n or_o saviour_n for_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o offence_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n as_o he_o testify_v of_o himself_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v not_o to_o destroy_v soul_n but_o to_o save_v and_o to_o give_v his_o life_n a_o redemption_n for_o many_o luk._n 19_o by_o this_o we_o learn_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o saviour_n appoint_v for_o man_n either_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n but_o only_o jesus_n and_o they_o that_o will_v have_v salvation_n of_o god_n the_o father_n must_v have_v it_o only_o at_o his_o hand_n therefore_o do_v the_o scripture_n pronounce_v of_o he_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n unto_o man_n wherein_o they_o must_v be_v save_v but_o only_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o this_o be_v the_o stone_n which_o be_v become_v the_o head_n stone_n and_o the_o chief_a in_o the_o corner_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o salvation_n in_o any_o other_o act._n 4._o we_o have_v then_o to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n not_o in_o angel_n not_o in_o saint_n not_o in_o man_n or_o in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o he_o only_o that_o have_v the_o key_n of_o david_n that_o shut_v heaven_n and_o no_o man_n open_v it_o and_o open_v it_o &_o no_o man_n shut_v this_o be_v the_o first_o title_n of_o dignity_n and_o honour_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o of_o his_o father_n the_o next_o be_v that_o he_o be_v call_v christ_n which_o be_v a_o greek_a word_n and_o signify_v in_o english_a anoint_v which_o do_v more_o plain_o &_o effectual_o declare_v his_o office_n &_o function_n give_v he_o of_o the_o father_n for_o us._n for_o he_o be_v anoint_a for_o three_o especial_a purpose_n first_o to_o be_v our_o prophet_n to_o teach_v we_o second_o our_o priest_n to_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o and_o three_o our_o king_n to_o rule_v &_o to_o defend_v we_o from_o our_o enemy_n these_o thing_n be_v all_o give_v unto_o we_o to_o understande_v in_o this_o name_n christ_n for_o as_o all_o the_o prophet_n and_o priest_n and_o king_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a law_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v anoint_a with_o oil_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n as_o god_n command_v elias_n to_o anoint_v eliseus_n prophet_n in_o his_o stead_n &_o moses_n be_v command_v to_o anoint_v aaron_n high_a priest_n and_o samuel_n to_o anoint_v saul_n &_o david_n to_o be_v king_n so_o be_v christ_n also_o anoint_a not_o with_o oil_n material_a as_o they_o but_o with_o spiritual_a oil_n of_o gladness_n as_o david_n say_v 7._o above_o his_o fellow_n that_o be_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n above_o all_o man_n for_o he_o have_v it_o without_o measure_n joh._n 3._o 34._o so_o then_o as_o the_o prophet_n &_o priest_n &_o king_n be_v all_o figure_n &_o shadow_n of_o christ_n anoint_a with_o oil_n to_o signify_v that_o they_o must_v be_v gentle_a meek_a &_o soft_a to_o all_o their_o brethren_n so_o it_o be_v also_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v perform_v all_o this_o that_o be_v prefigure_v by_o he_o and_o first_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n of_o a_o prophet_n to_o teach_v the_o people_n his_o father_n will_n not_o thrust_v in_o himself_o as_o the_o false_a prophet_n do_v who_o the_o lord_n send_v not_o at_o all_o but_o be_v thereto_o lawful_o call_v &_o authorise_v by_o his_o father_n from_o heaven_n 35._o say_v hear_v he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v our_o doctor_n and_o teacher_n our_o prophet_n and_o schoolmaster_n be_v thus_o ordain_v a_o prophet_n to_o teach_v we_o he_o execute_v his_o office_n and_o call_v most_o diligent_o most_o paynful_o and_o faithful_o for_o he_o teach_v they_o in_o season_n and_o out_o of_o season_n early_o and_o late_o
himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o if_o this_o be_v so_o we_o may_v bold_o come_v unto_o he_o at_o his_o commandment_n especial_o when_o he_o call_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o do_v labour_n and_o be_v lade_v and_o i_o will_v refresh_v you_o matt._n 11._o the_o whole_a scripture_n both_o of_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n do_v propound_v no_o other_o redeemer_n unto_o we_o than_o jesus_n christ_n all_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v figure_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n alone_o for_o it_o be_v unpossible_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o goat_n and_o

to_o see_v his_o day_n and_o see_v it_o glad_o john_n 8._o there_o be_v but_o one_o temple_n but_o one_o high_a priest_n but_o one_o altar_n so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o christ_n to_o man_n to_o take_v away_o sin_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v shadow_n of_o he_o he_o be_v the_o true_a temple_n in_o who_o we_o must_v pray_v the_o high_a priest_n that_o offer_v his_o body_n for_o we_o and_o the_o true_a altar_n upon_o who_o we_o must_v offer_v all_o our_o sacrifice_n of_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n if_o we_o will_v have_v they_o to_o please_v god_n and_o to_o be_v accept_v of_o he_o we_o have_v say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o altar_n meaning_n christ_n whereof_o they_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o eat_v which_o serve_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n mean_v the_o unbelieve_a jew_n let_v we_o therefore_o by_o he_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n always_o to_o god_n that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n which_o confess_v his_o name_n hebrew_n 13._o our_o saviour_n christ_n when_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o apostle_n to_o preach_v will_v not_o they_o to_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o his_o name_n only_o luke_n 24._o and_o this_o do_v peter_n in_o the_o act_n declare_v unto_o we_o chapter_n 10._o through_o his_o name_n every_o one_o the_o do_v believe_v shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n healing_n of_o the_o body_n be_v do_v &_o wrought_v in_o his_o

his_o hand_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o egypt_n in_o the_o great_a dearth_n and_o famine_n of_o corn_n none_o can_v have_v any_o food_n of_o pharaoh_n the_o king_n but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o joseph_n
