that_o this_o perfection_n of_o he_o which_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o redound_v to_o the_o damage_n of_o man_n shall_v no_o less_o redound_v to_o his_o benefit_n than_o all_o the_o other_o he_o do_v

it_o be_v needful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o mortify_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o altogether_o his_o reason_n and_o his_o humane_a prudence_n it_o be_v doubt_v this_o be_v true_a to_o what_o purpose_n god_n put_v reason_n in_o a_o man_n since_o he_o will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o serve_v himself_o thereof_o whilst_o he_o abide_v in_o his_o kingdom_n to_o this_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o i_o may_v answer_v resolute_o that_o god_n put_v reason_n in_o the_o inner_a man_n to_o that_o end_n for_o which_o he_o put_v the_o eye_n in_o the_o outward_a man._n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o outward_a eye_n

in_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v able_a to_o know_v god_n not_o of_o itself_o but_o with_o the_o self_n same_o god_n &_o likewise_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o god_n manifest_v the_o first_o man_n pride_v himself_o of_o his_o reason_n will_v know_v god_n without_o god_n as_o if_o one_o will_v see_v the_o sun_n without_o the_o sun_n and_o he_o deprive_v himself_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o government_n of_o his_o own_o reason_n and_o he_o and_o all_o they_o that_o have_v imitate_v he_o procure_v to_o know_v god_n with_o their_o own_o reason_n only_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o the_o creature_n be_v moreover_o more_o rash_a than_o they_o who_o be_v unwilling_a to_o see_v the_o sun_n with_o the_o sun_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o see_v it_o with_o the_o light_n of_o candle_n now_o this_o be_v true_a we_o may_v understand_v that_o god_n have_v put_v reason_n in_o man_n to_o the_o end_n that_o with_o it_o he_o may_v know_v god_n but_o with_o god_n and_o not_o by_o his_o own_o discourse_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o god_n shall_v require_v of_o man_n that_o he_o mortify_v his_o own_o reason_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o presume_v to_o know_v god_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n by_o itself_o alone_o without_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o so_o be_v he_o desire_v to_o know_v god_n and_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

live_v in_o this_o present_a life_n as_o dead_a and_o raise_v up_o begin_v even_o now_o to_o live_v a_o life_n much_o like_o unto_o that_o which_o they_o have_v to_o live_v in_o life_n everlasting_a in_o such_o manner_n that_o as_o the_o vivification_n be_v a_o imperfect_a resurrection_n so_o the_o christian_a live_v in_o the_o state_n of_o this_o vivification_n be_v imperfect_a albeit_o in_o

to_o believe_v this_o evil_a and_o this_o good_a not_o expect_v for_o all_o that_o to_o feel_v it_o that_o he_o may_v believe_v it_o for_o this_o be_v to_o pervert_v the_o order_n which_o god_n have_v

of_o the_o good_a will_v deprive_v we_o of_o the_o feel_n of_o the_o evil_a in_o this_o present_a life_n in_o part_n and_o altogether_o in_o life_n eternal_a in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v then_o altogether_o free_a from_o the_o evil_a of_o adam_n and_o altogether_o intent_n to_o enjoy_v the_o good_a of_o christ._n the_o other_o thing_n which_o i_o here_o learn_v be_v that_o they_o who_o in_o this_o present_a life_n do_v not_o give_v themselves_o to_o live_v as_o dead_a and_o raise_v up_o imitate_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o believe_v that_o they_o die_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o they_o rise_v again_o in_o christ_n how_o much_o soever_o they_o say_v and_o affirm_v to_o believe_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o thing_n for_o if_o they_o do_v believe_v they_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o will_v apply_v themselves_o to_o live_v as_o dead_a and_o raise_v up_o this_o be_v proper_o the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n to_o reduce_v by_o little_a and_o little_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o truth_n to_o be_v dead_a in_o adam_n and_o raise_v up_o in_o christ_n to_o live_v as_o dead_a and_o as_o raise_v up_o not_o because_o they_o intend_v to_o become_v just_a but_o because_o they_o do_v now_o know_v and_o feel_v themselves_o just_a in_o christ_n and_o because_o they_o hope_v for_o the_o crown_n of_o justice_n that_o be_v immortality_n and_o life_n eternal_a and_o here_o i_o will_v add_v this_o that_o as_o the_o acceptation_n of_o the_o indulgence_n which_o a_o king_n make_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v flee_v for_o some_o excess_n out_o
