Iohn Caluin vpon the first Epistle of Sainct Ihon, and vpon the Epistle of Iude wherein accordyng to the truthe of the woordes of the holie Ghost, he most excellently openeth and cleareth the poinct of true iustification with God, and sanctification by the Spirit of Christ, by the effects that he bryngeth forthe in the regeneration.

have_v add_v this_o for_o amplification_n sake_n that_o the_o faithful_a may_v be_v assure_o persuade_v that_o the_o redemption_n get_v by_o christ_n be_v extend_v to_o all_o which_o shall_v receive_v the_o gospel_n in_o faith_n but_o here_o be_v move_v a_o question_n how_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v do_v away_o i_o omit_v the_o dotage_n of_o such_o frantic_a fellow_n who_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o this_o admit_v to_o salvation_n all_o the_o reprobate_n moreover_o satan_n himself_o such_o a_o monstrous_a fantasy_n be_v not_o worthy_a the_o refutation_n they_o that_o will_v escape_v this_o absurdity_n have_v say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v sufficient_o for_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o only_o effectual_o for_o the_o elect_a this_o solution_n have_v common_o prevail_v in_o the_o school_n albeit_o that_o i_o grant_v that_o say_n to_o be_v true_a yet_o i_o deny_v that_o it_o agree_v with_o this_o place_n for_o john_n have_v none_o other_o purpose_n then_o to_o make_v this_o good_a common_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n therefore_o under_o the_o word_n all_o he_o do_v not_o comprehend_v the_o reprobate_a but_o point_v out_o those_o which_o together_o be_v to_o believe_v &_o be_v scatter_v into_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o world_n for_o than_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n make_v manifest_a as_o be_v meet_v when_o he_o be_v preched_a to_o be_v the_o only_o save_v health_n of_o the_o world_n 3_o and_o in_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v know_v he_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 4_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o 5_o but_o he_o that_o keep_v his_o word_n in_o he_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n perfect_a indeed_o in_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o he_o 6_o he_o that_o say_v that_o he_o abide_v in_o he_o ought_v even_o so_o to_o walk_v as_o he_o have_v walk_v 3_o after_o he_o have_v handle_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o free_a remission_n of_o sin_n he_o come_v again_o to_o the_o exhortation_n annex_v &_o depend_v upon_o it_o &_o first_o he_o admonish_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n which_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o idle_a but_o do_v of_o itself_o bring_v forth_o obedience_n afterward_o he_o show_v what_o god_n do_v especial_o require_v of_o we_o what_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o our_o life_n namely_o that_o we_o love_v god_n that_o which_o we_o read_v here_o of_o the_o effectual_a knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o everye_o where_n repeat_v without_o cause_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o common_a to_o the_o world_n then_o to_o draw_v the_o doctrine_n of_o godliness_n to_o vain_a speculation_n after_o this_o manner_n be_v divinity_n adulterate_v among_o the_o sophistical_a sorbonist_n that_o of_o all_o their_o knowledge_n not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o spark_n of_o godliness_n can_v appear_v and_o vain_a man_n every_o where_o do_v only_o learn_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o which_o they_o may_v babble_v out_o for_o ostentation_n sake_n final_o in_o all_o age_n this_o be_v too_o common_a a_o evil_a to_o talk_v vain_o of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n john_n therefore_o choose_v this_o principle_n that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v effectual_a whereupon_o he_o gather_v that_o they_o do_v not_o know_v god_n that_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n plato_n though_o grepe_v in_o the_o dark_a in_o phaedro_n and_o other_o place_n deni_v that_o that_o excellent_a beauty_n which_o he_o imagine_v can_v be_v know_v but_o that_o it_o will_v forcible_o carry_v a_o man_n into_o the_o admiration_n of_o it_o therefore_o how_o may_v it_o be_v that_o thou_o can_v know_v god_n &_o be_v touch_v with_o no_o affection_n neither_o indeed_o do_v this_o proceed_v only_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o we_o immediatelye_a love_v he_o who_o we_o know_v but_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o do_v lighten_v our_o mind_n do_v like_o wise_a breath_n into_o our_o heart_n a_o affection_n like_o unto_o our_o knowledge_n albeit_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n bring_v this_o with_o it_o the_o we_o fear_v &_o love_v he_o for_o neither_o can_v we_o acknowledge_v he_o as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v lord_n &_o father_n except_o we_o yield_v ourselves_o again_o to_o he_o obedyent_a child_n and_o dutiful_a servant_n brief_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o lively_a glass_n wherein_o we_o behold_v the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v change_v into_o it_o as_o paul_n teach_v 2._o cor._n 3.18_o wherefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o present_v a_o good_a conscience_n the_o show_v of_o knowledge_n can_v be_v but_o vain_a this_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v know_v for_o he_o note_v that_o obedience_n of_o god_n be_v so_o knit_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n that_o yet_o knowledge_n be_v first_o in_o order_n as_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o cause_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n but_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o do_v keep_v they_o in_o every_o part_n by_o that_o mean_n than_o shall_v be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o at_o odds_n with_o himself_o when_o therefore_o he_o have_v late_o set_v all_o man_n in_o guiltiness_n before_o god_n he_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o commandment_n which_o satisfy_v the_o law_n in_o all_o point_n which_o example_n can_v no_o where_n be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n but_o those_o which_o labour_n to_o conform_v their_o life_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n so_o much_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n infirmity_n they_o can_v for_o so_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o exclude_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n that_o rather_o it_o do_v take_v the_o beginning_n from_o it_o neither_o indeed_o be_v it_o to_o be_v gather_v from_o thence_o that_o faith_n do_v lean_a upon_o work_n for_o albeit_o that_o every_o one_o have_v the_o witness_n of_o his_o faith_n from_o work_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o it_o be_v found_v there_o see_v that_o this_o latter_a proof_n be_v add_v for_o a_o sign_n the_o assurance_n therefore_o of_o faith_n rest_v in_o the_o alone_a grace_n of_o christ_n but_o godliness_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n discern_v true_a faith_n from_o a_o counterfeit_n &_o dead_a knowledge_n of_o god_n because_o this_o truth_n be_v in_o christ_n as_o paul_n say_v to_o have_v put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n etc._n etc._n 4_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o whereby_o proove_v he_o that_o they_o lie_v which_o boast_v of_o faith_n without_o godliness_n very_o by_o the_o contrary_a because_o he_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v a_o effectual_a thing_n for_o god_n be_v not_o know_v by_o a_o ●a●e_a imagination_n but_o when_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o inward_o make_v himself_o know_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o because_o that_o many_o hypocrite_n do_v vain_o pamper_v themselves_o with_o the_o title_n of_o faith_n the_o apostle_n do_v convince_v such_o of_o a_o lie_n for_o that_o which_o he_o say_v shall_v be_v superfluous_a except_o the_o false_a &_o vain_a profession_n of_o christianity_n do_v rule_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o many_o 5_o but_o he_o that_o keep_v now_o he_o show_v which_o be_v the_o true_a observe_v of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o love_v god_n this_o place_n in_o my_o judgement_n be_v evil_o expound_v of_o they_o which_o understand_v that_o they_o true_o please_v god_n which_o keep_v his_o word_n rather_o expound_v it_o thus_o to_o love_n god_n with_o a_o sincere_a affection_n of_o hart_n be_v to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o brief_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o show_v what_o god_n do_v require_v of_o us._n the_o same_o also_o do_v moses_n say_v when_o he_o gather_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n deut_n 10._o now_o israel_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o law_n which_o be_v spiritual_a do_v not_o only_o give_v commandment_n of_o external_a thing_n but_o chief_o it_o do_v commend_v unto_o we_o this_o that_o we_o love_v god_n with_o our_o whole_a hart_n because_o that_o here_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o man_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v for_o a_o absurd_a thing_n for_o brotherly_a love_n do_v always_o issue_n from_o the_o love_v of_o god_n as_o afterward_o we_o shall_v see_v whosoever_o therefore_o desire_v to_o approve_v his_o life_n unto_o god_n let_v he_o direct_v all_o the_o part_n thereof_o to_o this_o end_n if_o any_o object_n that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o man_n find_v that_o so_o

i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a trial_n of_o doctrine_n private_a and_o publyke_a private_a whereby_o every_o one_o do_v establish_v his_o own_o faith_n that_o he_o may_v rest_v safe_o in_o that_o doctrine_n which_o he_o know_v to_o have_v come_v from_o god_n neither_o shall_v conscience_n find_v other_o where_o safe_a and_o quiet_a rest_a place_n then_o in_o god_n the_o publyke_a trial_n belong_v to_o the_o common_a consent_n and_o good_a of_o the_o church_n for_o because_o there_o be_v peril_n least_o fantastical_a man_n shall_v rise_v up_o which_o may_v rash_o boast_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n this_o remedy_n be_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o faithful_a come_v together_o and_o seek_v the_o mean_a of_o a_o holy_a and_o pure_a consent_n but_o see_v that_o that_o old_a proverb_n be_v too_o ●rue_a how_o many_o head_n so_o many_o wit_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o be_v the_o singular_a work_n of_o god_n that_o all_o overthwart_a be_v master_v he_o make_v we_o to_o think_v all_o one_o thing_n and_o to_o grow_v into_o a_o holy_a unity_n of_o faith_n and_o whereas_o under_o this_o pretence_n whatsoever_o thing_n be_v at_o any_o time_n decree_v in_o counsel_n the_o papist_n will_v have_v to_o be_v take_v for_o true_a oracle_n because_o the_o church_n do_v once_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v of_o god_n that_o be_v too_o childish_a for_o howsoever_o that_o be_v a_o ordinary_a way_n to_o seek_v a_o consent_n to_o gather_v a_o godly_a and_o a_o holy_a counsel_n where_o the_o controversy_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v determine_v yet_o god_n have_v never_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o decree_n of_o every_o counsel_n nor_o yet_o so_o soon_o as_o a_o hundred_o or_o more_o bishop_n be_v come_v together_o into_o one_o certain_a place_n it_o by_o and_o by_o follow_v that_o they_o have_v right_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o ask_v at_o his_o mouth_n what_o be_v the_o truth_n yea_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o apparent_a then_o that_o they_o have_v often_o go_v a_o side_n from_o the_o sincere_a word_n of_o god_n therefore_o here_o also_o ought_v the_o trial_n which_o the_o apostle_n prescribe_v to_o be_v of_o force_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v try_v 2_o in_o this_o know_v you_o he_o annex_v a_o special_a mark_n whereby_o one_o may_v better_o discern_v true_a prophet_n from_o false_a albeit_o he_o here_o only_o repeat_v that_o we_o have_v before_o that_o be_v that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o mark_n whereto_o true_a faith_n nime_v so_o he_o be_v the_o rock_n at_o who_o all_o heretic_n do_v stumble_v therefore_o so_o long_o as_o we_o remain_v in_o christ_n the_o matter_n be_v safe_a but_o when_o we_o go_v aside_o from_o he_o faith_n be_v perysh_v and_o all_o truth_n be_v make_v void_a but_o we_o may_v remember_v what_o this_o confession_n contain_v for_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v hence_o we_o gather_v that_o he_o be_v with_o the_o father_n before_o whereby_o be_v show_v his_o eternal_a deity_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o signify_v that_o in_o put_v on_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v make_v a_o very_a man_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o we_o that_o he_o may_v be_v our_o brother_n save_v that_o he_o be_v free_a from_o all_o sin_n and_o corruption_n final_o when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v come_v we_o must_v consider_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o come_n for_o he_o be_v not_o send_v of_o his_o father_n in_o vain_a héereuppon_o depend_v the_o office_n and_o power_n of_o christ_n therefore_o even_o as_o the_o old_a heretic_n have_v err_v from_o this_o faith_n part_o deny_v the_o divine_a nature_n and_o part_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n even_o so_o do_v the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n albeit_o they_o do_v confess_v christ_n to_o be_v god_n and_o man_n yet_o they_o hold_v ●ot_n this_o confession_n which_o the_o apostle_n require_v because_o they_o spoil_v christ_n of_o his_o pow●r_n and_o authority_n for_o when_o they_o have_v establish_v their_o free_a will_n their_o merit_n of_o cork_n their_o feign_a worship_n satisfac●ions_n and_o the_o supportation_n of_o saint_n ●owe_o small_a a_o remainder_n be_v leave_v to_o christ_n this_o therefore_o mean_v the_o apostle_n see_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n compre●endeth_v in_o itself_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o godliness_n therefore_o we_o must_v fix_v and_o cast_v our_o eye_n thither_o lest_o we_o be_v deceive_v and_o in_o truth_n christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n neither_o learn_v we_o any_o other_o thing_n by_o the_o gospel_n than_o his_o power_n and_o grace_n 2_o and_o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n this_o the_o apostle_n add_v to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v make_v the_o sleyghtes_n which_o seduce_v we_o from_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o more_o detestable_a for_o we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n be_v usual_a and_o well_o know_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v admonysh_v of_o the_o dispearsion_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v to_o come_v may_v careful_o take_v heed_n to_o

with_o false_a and_o untrue_a assertion_n superstition_n have_v not_o yet_o prevail_v to_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o world_n have_v not_o yet_o fall_v from_o christ_n by_o a_o wicked_a distrust_n the_o tyranny_n set_v against_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o yet_o manifest_o show_v itself_o therefore_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v to_o come_v 4_o little_a
