that_o we_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o but_o because_o he_o have_v gather_v we_o all_o together_o under_o jesus_n christ._n that_o therefore_o be_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o concord_n and_o brotherhood_n between_o we_o and_o the_o angel_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n add_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v obtain_v a_o name_n that_o be_v too_o say_v a_o majesty_n which_o be_v above_o all_o name_n as_o well_o in_o heaven_n as_o in_o earth_n here_o s._n paul_n show_v we_o brief_o that_o all_o our_o wisdom_n be_v to_o know_v the_o benefit_n that_o be_v bring_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o which_o we_o possess_v in_o he_o alone_o so_o our_o faith_n be_v settle_v whole_o upon_o he_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n 12._o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o must_v be_v save_v for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o morning_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v incomprehensible_a and_o dwell_v in_o light_n which_o we_o can_v approach_v unto_o 16._o as_o s._n paul_n term_v it_o jesus_n christ_n must_v as_o it_o be_v step_n in_o betwixt_o he_o and_o we_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v press_v bold_o unto_o he_o and_o know_v that_o he_o be_v not_o far_o distant_a nor_o far_o separate_v from_o we_o wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o whereas_o here_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o name_n it_o be_v because_o god_n will_v be_v know_v in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o only_a son_n 39_o it_o be_v say_v herewithal_o 6._o that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o godhead_n as_o touch_v the_o essence_n or_o be_v we_o have_v but_o only_o one_o god_n and_o yet_o in_o jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v the_o lively_a and_o express_a image_n of_o the_o father_n etc_n so_o as_o there_o we_o find_v whatsoever_o be_v expedient_a and_o requisite_a for_o our_o salvation_n 24._o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o ought_v too_o glory_n in_o our_o know_v of_o the_o only_a one_o god_n but_o yet_o that_o be_v accomplish_v in_o the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o when_o man_n go_v about_o too_o seek_v god_n they_o enter_v into_o a_o terrible_a maze_n unless_o jesus_n christ_n be_v their_o way_n and_o leader_n thus_o we_o see_v now_o whereat_o s._n paul_n amed_z and_o it_o be_v add_v also_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o only_o for_o this_o world_n but_o also_o for_o the_o other_o whereby_o be_v mean_v that_o the_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v suffice_v we_o for_o the_o heavenly_a life_n now_o it_o shall_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n that_o there_o be_v some_o contrariety_n between_o this_o text_n and_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o the_o fifteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o epistle_n too_o the_o corinthian_n for_o there_o he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n too_o god_n his_o father_n of_o who_o he_o hold_v it_o and_o here_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v establish_v in_o all_o authority_n yea_o even_o for_o the_o world_n too_o come_v but_o these_o two_o agree_v very_o well_o for_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n his_o father_n that_o be_v because_o of_o our_o rudeness_n and_o infirmity_n according_a also_o as_o when_o he_o be_v call_v god_n lieutenant_n that_o be_v because_o we_o can_v not_o be_v in_o rest_n except_o we_o know_v that_o god_n have_v his_o hand_n stretch_v out_o too_o succour_v we_o at_o our_o need_n and_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o better_a in_o jesus_n christ_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v come_v near_o unto_o we_o and_o be_v become_v our_o brother_n god_n than_o do_v not_o so_o reign_v by_o the_o mean_a of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o shall_v give_v over_o his_o own_o office_n and_o sit_v idle_a in_o heaven_n himself_o it_o be_v a_o lewd_a dotage_n too_o think_v so_o and_o true_o we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o fifteen_o of_o s._n john_n my_o father_n and_o i_o say_v he_o have_v always_o our_o hand_n at_o work_n there_o he_o show_v that_o the_o ordain_v of_o he_o too_o be_v ruler_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o too_o the_o end_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n sit_v unoccupied_a in_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v say_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o god_n be_v continual_o near_a at_o hand_n too_o we_o when_o we_o seek_v he_o in_o faith_n at_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o after_o the_o judgement_n we_o shall_v have_v new_a eye_n as_z sai_v s._n john_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o god_n 2._o and_o be_v transfigure_v into_o his_o glory_n we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v which_o thing_n we_o can_v not_o do_v now_o because_o we_o have_v too_o dull_a wit_n wherefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o now_o 12._o that_o we_o behold_v he_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n and_o dark_o as_o say_v s._n paul_n and_o that_o we_o know_v he_o in_o part_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o yield_v up_o of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v behold_v god_n majesty_n and_o substance_n which_o be_v incomprehensible_a too_o we_o as_o now_o for_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o nature_n change_v and_o we_o shall_v be_v new_a fashion_v in_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o and_o clean_o rid_v of_o all_o the_o corruption_n wherewith_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o as_o now_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v abse_z for_o he_o shall_v be_v then_o much_o better_a in_o his_o perfection_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o too_o the_o colossian_n that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o god_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n appear_v they_o shall_v our_o life_n be_v discover_v likewise_o too_o be_v short_a when_o we_o be_v come_v too_o the_o soverein_o bliss_n that_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v the_o thing_n that_o lie_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o hope_n &_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v gather_v all_o thing_n too_o himself_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v then_o partaker_n of_o his_o glory_n every_o man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o degree_n and_o measure_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o these_o two_o text_n agree_v very_o well_o namely_o that_o god_n have_v give_v christ_n a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n and_o also_o that_o he_o shall_v yield_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o why_o for_o we_o shall_v then_o see_v his_o heavenly_a majesty_n which_o we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o conceive_v as_o now_o because_o we_o be_v fleshly_a also_o we_o shall_v perceive_v that_o whereas_o jesus_n christ_n be_v appear_v unto_o we_o a_o mortal_a man_n he_o have_v be_v so_o glorify_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o be_v god_n of_o oneself_o same_o substance_n with_o his_o father_n this_o say_v i_o shall_v be_v full_o know_v then_o whereas_o now_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a shadow_n of_o it_o furthermore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v exalt_v by_o god_n his_o father_n it_o be_v too_o the_o end_n that_o his_o advancement_n shall_v serve_v too_o our_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ix_o of_o isaiah_n he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v not_o only_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o for_o this_o transitory_a life_n but_o also_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o there_o we_o shall_v feel_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o hide_a and_o which_o we_o taste_v as_o yet_o but_o in_o part_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v enter_v into_o full_a possession_n of_o all_o the_o good_n that_o be_v give_v too_o he_o already_o thus_o you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n have_v purposely_o make_v express_a mention_n of_o the_o world_n too_o come_v he_o add_v immediate_o that_o god_n have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n his_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v too_o show_v that_o what_o soever_o thing_n we_o have_v need_n of_o if_o we_o can_v resort_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v able_a too_o
