what_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o that_o christ_n do_v seem_v to_o receive_v this_o man_n after_o a_o ungentyll_a sort_n which_o give_v such_o a_o excellent_a praise_n as_o concerning_a christ_n uerilye_o there_o be_v a_o very_a deadly_a error_n in_o this_o man_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v over_o pass_v of_o christ_n lest_o that_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o consent_v to_o nicodeme_n in_o such_o a_o great_a matter_n whereof_o yet_o he_o be_v most_o blameless_a for_o as_o touch_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n he_o show_v himself_o here_o to_o be_v very_o perfect_a and_o certain_a in_o this_o that_o he_o pronounce_v that_o he_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v send_v from_o god_n to_o be_v a_o teacher_n &_o in_o that_o he_o take_v the_o miracle_n which_o christ_n do_v for_o the_o very_a work_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n do_v declare_v by_o his_o answer_n wherein_o he_o reprove_v nicodemus_n opinion_n as_o touch_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n what_o this_o knowledge_n prevayl_v nicodemus_n therefore_o thynk_v this_o that_o he_o know_v what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n because_o he_o knowethe_v god_n and_o understand_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v wrought_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o he_o know_v god_n well_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v his_o kingdom_n but_o because_o the_o first_o be_v false_a christ_n rebuke_v he_o in_o the_o last_o that_o

because_o of_o this_o equality_n they_o be_v all_o like_a holy_a and_o righteous_a etc._n etc._n and_o since_o we_o have_v obtain_v this_o let_v we_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o so_o great_a

what_o soever_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n by_o our_o parent_n with_o all_o their_o power_n as_o far_o as_o man_n power_n go_v with_o all_o their_o reason_n will_n &_o do_n with_o their_o law_n study_n discipline_n exercise_n endeavour_n fact_n &_o work_n can_v not_o escape_v damnation_n and_o hereby_o do_v it_o appear_v how_o overthwart_o they_o be_v which_o show_v utter_o as_o though_o they_o teach_v of_o the_o kyngdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o salvation_n and_o yet_o as_o touch_v the_o new_a birth_n they_o speak_v nothing_o salvation_n but_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o pope_n they_o enjoin_v they_o work_v to_o do_v and_o tradition_n to_o follow_v that_o thereby_o they_o may_v get_v salvation_n but_o this_o be_v nothing_o agre_v with_o christ_n doctrine_n which_o teach_v plain_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o bear_v again_o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v and_o this_o thing_n belong_v not_o only_o to_o nicodemus_n but_o it_o pertain_v to_o all_o man_n which_o can_v do_v great_a virtue_n and_o act_n as_o be_v the_o example_n of_o the_o gentile_n concern_v modesty_n and_o love_n toward_o parent_n or_o country_n justice_n and_o liberality_n etc._n etc._n for_o all_o be_v not_o advoutrer_n nor_o fornicator_n thief_n and_o sluggish_a people_n but_o there_o be_v notable_a work_v and_o virtue_n and_o sure_o the_o discipline_n thereof_o be_v not_o to_o

what_o be_v the_o way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o what_o way_n bring_v to_o salvation_n the_o say_n of_o christ_n be_v plain_a that_o all_o other_o thing_n work_v death_n and_o damnation_n that_o be_v without_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o regeneration_n only_o the_o new_a birth_n can_v challenge_v the_o inheritance_n of_o rightousnes_n &_o salvation_n in_o the_o kyngdom_n of_o god_n as_o
