until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v whole_o unite_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o know_v that_o although_o god_n enlighten_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o we_o have_v a_o

against_o a_o number_n of_o temptation_n wherewith_o we_o be_v oftentimes_o overcome_v what_o shall_v become_v then_o of_o all_o this_o gear_n be_v it_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v enter_v no_o no_o

from_o be_v unite_v to_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v wherefore_o this_o be_v a_o token_n that_o god_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o as_o he_o shall_v for_o if_o he_o do_v all_o our_o power_n and_o force_n will_v bend_v itself_o that_o way_n contrariwise_o we_o feel_v even_o as_o great_a rebellion_n as_o may_v be_v when_o as_o we_o will_v go_v about_o to_o do_v that_o which_o god_n teach_v us._n see_v then_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n stand_v against_o god_n and_o his_o justice_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o rule_v not_o we_o peaceable_o for_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v even_o without_o our_o

from_o the_o top_n to_o the_o toe_n but_o horrible_a rebellion_n 15.18_o â—_o cor._n 15.18_o and_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o accomplish_v wherefore_o we_o be_v admonish_v to_o go_v on_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o wit_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o full_a of_o he_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v empty_a of_o ourselves_o namely_o we_o shall_v be_v unclothe_v of_o this_o body_n &_o be_v raise_v up_o into_o that_o glory_n which_o be_v promise_v us._n the_o speech_n then_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v with_o his_o

his_o throne_n and_o guide_v we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v altogether_o agreeable_a unto_o his_o righteousness_n &_o seek_v only_o to_o follow_v he_o as_o our_o sovereign_a and_o liege_n lord_n &_o

a_o note_n unto_o we_o that_o whensoever_o the_o gospel_n be_v deliver_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o leave_v this_o world_n to_o wit_n all_o the_o wicked_a affection_n and_o vanity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o which_o keep_v we_o back_o here_o below_o for_o we_o must_v be_v whole_o change_v &_o god_n must_v give_v we_o a_o new_a life_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n must_v do_v good_a to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v indeed_o the_o very_a kingdom_n of_o god_n &_o bear_v such_o authority_n with_o we_o as_o be_v meet_v and_o by_o the_o way_n god_n call_v we_o not_o unto_o he_o mean_v to_o keep_v we_o always_o in_o one_o state_n but_o will_v continual_o prick_v we_o on_o until_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o to_o perfection_n make_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o this_o present_a life_n be_v like_o a_o sea_n full_a of_o all_o misery_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o jesus_n christ_n bend_v himself_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n after_o we_o be_v once_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o forbid_v they_o go_v from_o jerusalem_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o all_o this_o be_v speak_v for_o the_o build_n up_o of_o our_o faith_n for_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o be_v assure_v and_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o man_n devise_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o god_n send_v it_o from_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n what_o will_v then_o become_v of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o thorough_o declare_v and_o verify_v unto_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n in_o such_o sort_n send_v his_o apostle_n and_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o their_o own_o motion_n counsel_n or_o will_v but_o send_v by_o god_n who_o teach_v they_o their_o lesson_n and_o understand_v not_o of_o their_o own_o wit_n this_o doctrine_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n luke_n be_v here_o to_o be_v well_o mark_v that_o he_o handle_v this_o doctrine_n oftentimes_o among_o they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v the_o better_o instruct_v therein_o and_o not_o run_v at_o random_n over_o and_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o may_v be_v quite_o void_a of_o all_o worldly_a wisdom_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n let_v we_o therefore_o mark_v this_o well_o that_o our_o faith_n may_v always_o cleave_v unto_o god_n as_o a_o fast_a anchor_n hold_v for_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o in_o the_o creature_n but_o shall_v flit_v away_o like_o water_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a foundation_n to_o build_v our_o faith_n on_o they_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v build_v it_o upon_o god_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o réele_v this_o way_n and_o that_o but_o shall_v stand_v fast_o and_o sure_a and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o the_o apostle_n be_v forbid_v to_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n until_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o by_o this_o we_o see_v their_o obedience_n for_o in_o man_n reason_n they_o may_v have_v somewhat_o reply_v and_o say_v what_o be_v not_o we_o the_o apostle_n of_o god_n have_v not_o we_o authority_n to_o preach_v his_o word_n be_v not_o we_o able_a to_o execute_v our_o charge_n they_o have_v some_o show_n why_o they_o may_v thus_o have_v say_v for_o to_o what_o purpose_n have_v god_n justify_v they_o in_o this_o charge_n without_o they_o may_v do_v it_o but_o they_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o they_o must_v obey_v for_o curse_a be_v that_o man_n who_o trust_v in_o himself_o to_o do_v any_o work_n before_o god_n put_v he_o forward_o to_o do_v it_o and_o contrariwise_o when_o god_n send_v he_o he_o must_v not_o strive_v against_o it_o but_o say_v loe_o here_o be_o i_o lord_n employ_v i_o as_o please_v thou_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n luke_n show_v that_o the_o apostle_n obey_v jesus_n christ_n when_o as_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v perform_v his_o promise_n unto_o they_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v already_o wrought_v in_o they_o for_o not_o long_o before_o they_o be_v clean_o out_o of_o the_o way_n they_o have_v forsake_v their_o master_n they_o know_v nothing_o what_o the_o assistance_n &_o safeguard_n of_o god_n mean_v and_o suffer_v satan_n to_o disperse_v they_o abroad_o but_o what_o when_o as_o god_n have_v once_o grant_v they_o the_o grace_n to_o understande_v his_o voice_n and_o meaning_n he_o need_v not_o but_o to_o have_v beckon_v his_o finger_n and_o they_o will_v have_v obey_v he_o and_o if_o he_o have_v forbid_v they_o any_o thing_n they_o will_v not_o have_v attempt_v it_o but_o contrariwise_o when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o go_v neither_o fire_n nor_o water_n can_v stay_v they_o thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o must_v work_v in_o we_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o such_o a_o subjection_n for_o else_o when_o he_o will_v say_v retire_v we_o will_v go_v on_o and_o when_o he_o will_v bid_v we_o march_v on_o 40._o num._n 14.3_o 40._o we_o will_v go_v back_o now_o here_o we_o see_v what_o our_o nature_n be_v and_o this_o notable_a mirror_n have_v we_o even_o in_o the_o jew_n for_o if_o we_o read_v how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o after_o they_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o
content_v to_o submit_v himself_o unto_o all_o shame_n and_o rebuke_v insomuche_o that_o all_o man_n as_o it_o be_v utter_o forsake_v he_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o here_o learn_v also_o by_o the_o way_n humbleness_n and_o lowliness_n if_o we_o mean_v that_o he_o shall_v entertain_v us._n for_o it_o be_v very_o good_a reason_n that_o at_o the_o least_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o conformity_n or_o a_o even_a agreement_n between_o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n neither_o must_v we_o so_o despise_v ourselves_o as_o to_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o ourselves_o for_o we_o shall_v by_o nature_n find_v such_o poverty_n and_o want_n in_o ourselves_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v very_o good_a occasion_n altogether_o to_o abase_v ourselves_o but_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v such_o as_o in_o deed_n we_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v offer_v up_o ourselves_o in_o true_a humility_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o may_v acknowledge_v &_o allow_v we_o for_o his_o we_o have_v moreover_o to_o note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o in_o the_o history_n which_o saint_n luke_n here_o recite_v that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o be_v to_o learn_v that_o the_o

of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o extreme_a poverty_n without_o honour_n without_o reputation_n and_o as_o one_o subject_n to_o all_o bondage_n and_o slavery_n and_o yet_o do_v the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n magnify_v he_o do_v he_o all_o homage_n and_o reverence_n and_o here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n a_o angel_n bring_v tiding_n of_o his_o birth_n but_o he_o be_v soon_o after_o accompany_v with_o a_o whole_a army_n who_o be_v all_o present_a and_o appear_v as_o witness_n send_v from_o god_n to_o show_v that_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o abase_v for_o our_o salvation_n yet_o be_v he_o for_o all_o that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o have_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o power_n and_o rule_v and_o beside_o the_o place_n of_o bethlehem_n yield_v a_o good_a

we_o have_v here_o before_o already_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n so_o willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v make_v a_o sheriffee_n for_o the_o repair_n and_o blot_v out_o of_o our_o iniquity_n through_o his_o obedience_n as_o that_o he_o be_v very_o well_o content_v to_o be_v condemn_v and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o answer_v to_o none_o of_o the_o accusation_n that_o be_v bring_v against_o he_o he_o be_v able_a â—ust_z â—iâ—ally_o to_o have_v do_v it_o but_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n as_o it_o be_v also_o lay_v of_o he_o by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v 7._o isaiah_n 53._o 7._o only_o to_o show_v his_o patience_n but_o also_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a at_o this_o day_n free_o to_o glory_n that_o we_o be_v just_a

for_o the_o set_n forth_o of_o his_o pureness_n of_o life_n now_o in_o very_a deed_n a_o man_n will_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n think_v it_o very_o strange_a that_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n &_o

be_v a_o pagan_a who_o the_o emperor_n have_v send_v thither_o to_o wrath_n in_o deed_n this_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o king_n 6.15_o john_n 6.15_o but_o yet_o no_o earthly_a prince_n for_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v crown_v he_o he_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o hide_v he_o in_o a_o mountain_n and_o thereby_o he_o

to_o say_v the_o truth_n what_o be_v it_o and_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v earthly_a for_o what_o shall_v we_o get_v by_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o 15.19_o 1._o cor._n 15.19_o

rough_o handle_v for_o god_n must_v first_o begin_v to_o chastise_v his_o own_o house_n and_o church_n and_o therefore_o if_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v be_v a_o earthly_a king_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o we_o be_v mere_a stranger_n unto_o he_o moreover_o let_v it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v all_o the_o pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
