he_o like_v well_o of_o and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o the_o child_n of_o adam_n and_o we_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mould_n why_o then_o enlighten_v he_o the_o one_o

to_o excel_v other_o s._n paul_n then_o do_v in_o that_o say_n pull_v down_o all_o loftiness_n of_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v advance_v himself_o nor_o allege_v that_o he_o

be_v with_o his_o finger_n how_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o at_o least_o wise_a if_o we_o play_v not_o the_o churl_n with_o he_o but_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o and_o be_v

that_o be_v too_o say_v for_o that_o he_o have_v reserve_v we_o too_o himself_o as_o his_o own_o child_n now_o than_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n meaning_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o

and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o s._n paul_n fail_v not_o too_o show_v therewithal_o the_o inestimable_a benyfite_n that_o we_o have_v by_o the_o gospel_n in_o that_o he_o term_v it_o the_o word_n of_o

unto_o he_o and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v you_o see_v how_o our_o salvation_n be_v utter_o defeat_v according_a too_o that_o which_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n joel_n 32._o and_o it_o be_v a_o

that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o say_a warrant_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o in_o the_o three_o chapter_n therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o 〈◊〉_d too_o be_v thorough_o assure_v that_o god_n

incline_v s._n paul_n have_v term_v the_o gospel_n the_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v my_o friend_n god_n be_v a_o faithful_a witness_n unto_o you_o of_o his_o own_o will_n for_o the_o gospel_n be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o lay_v forth_o his_o heart_n unto_o you_o and_o therefore_o settle_v yourselves_o upon_o it_o moreover_o also_o he_o say_v that_o our_o salvation_n

of_o ourselves_o be_v far_o of_o and_o unknown_a too_o we_o but_o we_o have_v knowledge_n of_o it_o by_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o mean_n and_o instrument_n thereof_o for_o too_o what_o

it_o by_o faith_n now_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o opinion_n of_o man_n conceive_n in_o his_o own_o brain_n but_o a_o settle_a belief_n that_o god_n can_v lie_v nor_o deceive_v we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o our_o hope_n shall_v not_o come_v too_o good_a end_n if_o we_o wait_v upon_o he_o so_o then_o too_o be_v short_a s._n paul_n intent_n be_v to_o show_v that_o if_o we_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o make_v our_o profit_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o shall_v no_o long_o stand_v in_o a_o mammer_n and_o perplexity_n but_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o call_v

the_o creature_n be_v never_o the_o more_o impair_v though_o jesus_n christ_n overpeere_v they_o as_o their_o head_n that_o then_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v upon_o saint_n paul_n word_n where_o he_o taunteeh_o such_o as_o will_v needs_o exalt_v the_o angel_n without_o end_n or_o cease_v for_o he_o say_v very_o well_o i_o grant_v they_o be_v power_n

now_o then_o what_o a_o ungraciousness_n be_v it_o if_o we_o shall_v leave_v jesus_n christ_n and_o go_v seek_v too_o the_o angel_n see_v that_o even_o they_o do_v wonder_n at_o the_o riches_n which_o
