when_o s._n paul_n avouch_v that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a than_o by_o faith_n we_o shall_v see_v more_o plain_o hereafter_o why_o faith_n be_v so_o compare_v with_o the_o law_n as_o a_o

pay_v we_o the_o wage_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o faith_n presuppose_v we_o to_o be_v wretched_a damn_a &_o forlorn_a folk_n and_o that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o seek_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o want_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v two_o man_n that_o desire_v to_o be_v board_v and_o lodge_v whereof_o the_o one_o bring_v money_n with_o he_o and_o look_n

both_o need_n but_o the_o first_o have_v money_n to_o content_v his_o host_n and_o like_a as_o he_o shall_v have_v fare_v well_o and_o be_v well_o and_o courteous_o interteyn_v so_o shall_v his_o

and_o there_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o interchaunge_v betwixt_o us._n and_o be_v that_o possible_a no_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o at_o large_a hereafter_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o we_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o if_o we_o think_v to_o bring_v any_o thing_n to_o bind_v god_n withal_o we_o do_v but_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n then_o be_v there_o none_o other_o shift_n but_o to_o go_v to_o he_o like_o poor_a beggar_n and_o so_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n not_o as_o by_o a_o virtue_n that_o be_v of_o ourselves_o but_o because_o we_o confess_v with_o all_o lowliness_n that_o we_o can_v not_o obtain_v salvation_n but_o by_o his_o free_a gift_n ▪_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n be_v set_v here_o full_o but_o

now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o day_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o night_n but_o we_o see_v the_o wonderful_a order_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n in_o that_o man_n have_v the_o

to_o he_o do_v but_o turmoil_n and_o mingle_v thing_n together_o and_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v set_v heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o by_o the_o ear_n to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v

have_v need_n to_o be_v succour_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o if_o a_o man_n consider_v what_o the_o law_n be_v and_o too_o what_o purpose_n it_o be_v give_v he_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o whit_n at_o all_o repugnant_a too_o the_o gospel_n nor_o consequent_o untoo_o faith_n but_o that_o they_o agree_v very_o well_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o difficulty_n be_v

there_o may_v be_v any_o deserve_n at_o all_o but_o by_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n have_v make_v 5._o in_o say_v that_o he_o which_o fulfil_v the_o law_n shall_v obtain_v life_n and_o salvation_n for_o as_o much_o as_o god_n have_v speak_v that_o word_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o accept_v the_o obedience_n that_o be_v yield_v unto_o he_o as_o if_o it_o deserve_a salvation_n but_o yet_o be_v not_o

will_v be_v too_o no_o purpose_n or_o at_o least_o wise_a it_o will_v be_v unavaylable_a so_o as_o it_o shall_v never_o take_v effect_n unless_o god_n give_v we_o another_o remedy_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n unless_o he_o forgive_v our_o offence_n and_o accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a although_o we_o be_v not_o so_o but_o how_o so_o ever_o the_o case_n stand_v when_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o iustify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o claim_v favour_n and_o salvation_n because_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o such_o as_o keep_v his_o law_n shall_v be_v righteous_a and_o so_o take_v to_o be_v that_o will_v not_o serve_v our_o turn_n because_o none_o of_o we_o fulfil_v the_o law_n but_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o gyltie_n before_o god_n and_o must_v receyve_v sentence_n of_o damnation_n upon_o our_o head_n and_o for_o the_o better_a express_v hereof_o he_o make_v a_o comparison_n between_o the_o jew_n &_o

believe_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o it_o may_v peradventure_o seem_v that_o although_o man_n be_v corrupt_v in_o adam_n can_v not_o deserve_v aught_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o special_a privilege_n because_o god_n have_v adopt_v they_o as_o it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o child_n and_o account_v they_o to_o be_v as_o his_o household_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o the_o jew_n deceyve_v themselves_o for_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v
look_v into_o his_o own_o life_n what_o it_o be_v now_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mite_n as_o you_o will_v say_v amiss_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o be_v forthwith_o in_o danger_n of_o

in_o infinite_a sort_n of_o fault_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v perceive_v never_o so_o many_o misery_n in_o ourselves_o god_n know_v yet_o many_o mo_z without_o comparison_n than_o we_o can_v for_o he_o see_v much_o clear_a than_o we_o do_v 20._o as_o say_v saint_n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n thus_o then_o be_v our_o plead_n utter_o void_a thus_o be_v sentence_n give_v that_o we_o can_v be_v iustify_v by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o faith_n only_o and_o now_o the_o apostle_n go_v forward_o with_o his_o matter_n use_v another_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o if_o we_o seek_v righteousness_n in_o the_o law_n the_o same_o will_v be_v a_o clean_a contrary_a one_o to_o the_o rightuousnesse_n which_o god_n child_n and_o choose_a people_n obtain_v by_o faith_n for_o what_o

be_v ready_a to_o recompense_v all_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v serve_v and_o honour_v he_o by_o keep_v of_o his_o law_n it_o seem_v to_o we_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a that_o we_o have_v

yea_o but_o when_o we_o have_v compare_v our_o life_n too_o his_o doctrine_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o his_o show_v of_o himself_o so_o liberal_a and_o bountiful_a towards_o we_o too_o bound_v himself_o to_o we_o for_o our_o serve_v of_o he_o and_o for_o our_o keep_n of_o his_o law_n be_v a_o plunge_v of_o we_o much_o deep_a into_o the_o gulf_n wherein_o we_o be_v before_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o we_o must_v resort_v to_o the_o remedy_n which_o the_o apostle_n set_v down_o here_o before_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o abacuk_n which_o be_v that_o the_o rightuouse_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n therefore_o let_v we_o refuse_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n because_o it_o be_v not_o for_o our_o behoof_n 4._o &_o take_v the_o freegiven_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n who_o reach_v out_o his_o arm_n to_o receive_v we_o so_o we_o be_v clear_o rid_v of_o all_o selfween_a that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v set_v down_o unto_o we_o here_o by_o s._n paul_n and_o it_o be_v a_o reason_n that_o hold_v of_o contrary_n as_o they_o term_v it_o as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o fire_n heat_v and_o another_o wilful_a body_n shall_v hold_v the_o

if_o it_o shall_v be_v demand_v whither_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v behooveful_a for_o this_o life_n or_o no_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sun_n in_o the_o world_n

god_n that_o be_v too_o say_v if_o we_o be_v well_o like_v at_o god_n hand_n our_o come_n into_o his_o favour_n must_v be_v through_o his_o own_o freebestowed_a goodness_n because_o he_o love_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n that_o can_v be_v in_o ourselves_o howbeit_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o mark_v well_o how_o it_o be_v tell_v we_o here_o that_o the_o ryghteousnesse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o god_n commandment_n and_o hereby_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o we_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v we_o for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n have_v rehearse_v the_o ten_o commandment_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n have_v final_o tell_v we_o that_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n whereby_o we_o shall_v live_v the_o thing_n whereby_o we_o shall_v direct_v our_o life_n the_o infallible_a rule_n and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o seek_v any_o other_o

that_o he_o which_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v no_o man_n shall_v live_v at_o the_o first_o blush_n as_o i_o say_v we_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v win_v the_o

can_v fail_v but_o when_o we_o have_v cast_v our_o card_n we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o no_o man_n can_v atteyne_v to_o life_n by_o his_o own_o purchase_n or_o earn_n for_o why_o no_o man_n perform_v the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o that_o do_v but_o some_o one_o part_n or_o other_o of_o the_o law_n shall_v live_v but_o he_o that_o do_v all_o that_o be_v

that_o be_v give_v we_o in_o the_o law_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v say_v that_o god_n mock_v we_o when_o he_o hold_v we_o at_o the_o staff_n end_n because_o man_n deceyve_v themselves_o through_o their_o own_o pride_n by_o boast_v of_o their_o own_o deserve_n he_o
from_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n be_v too_o show_v that_o they_o be_v unmatchable_a and_o can_v no_o more_o be_v join_v together_o than_o fire_n and_o water_n true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n betwixt_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o for_o we_o know_v that_o both_o twain_o of_o they_o do_v come_v of_o god_n but_o here_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o take_v god_n meen_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o declare_v it_o to_o we_o which_o be_v that_o by_o set_v the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o the_o law_n before_o we_o he_o intend_v to_o humble_v

what_o plight_n we_o be_v for_o when_o we_o once_o perceive_v our_o own_o need_n then_o will_v we_o seek_v our_o want_n at_o his_o hand_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o law_n lead_v we_o to_o faith_n but_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a kind_n of_o lead_v howsoever_o the_o case_n stand_v there_o be_v always_o this_o contrariety_n which_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o here_o namely_o that_o we_o can_v be_v

that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o damnation_n in_o us._n now_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o s._n paul_n have_v stretch_v this_o say_n of_o abacuck_n too_o far_o see_v he_o

&_o scourge_v he_o yet_o shall_v he_o not_o quail_v if_o he_o ground_n himself_o upon_o god_n promise_n and_o here_o the_o case_n concern_v not_o god_n comfort_v and_o deliver_v of_o we_o from_o the_o

therefore_o that_o s._n paul_n appli_v not_o this_o text_n of_o the_o prophet_n aright_o howbeit_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o if_o the_o prophet_n have_v look_v no_o further_a than_o too_o this_o

thus_o you_o see_v what_o they_o esteem_v to_o be_v pureness_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o we_o know_v that_o the_o cheefseruice_n which_o god_n require_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v whole_o

of_o salvation_n and_o that_o be_v a_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n upon_o man_n conscience_n that_o can_v not_o be_v bear_v again_o he_o see_v how_o the_o liberty_n that_o be_v purchace_v we_o by_o our_o

when_o as_o notwithstanding_o his_o adversary_n pretend_v no_o more_o but_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o the_o continue_v thereof_o still_o as_o before_o the_o come_n of_o our_o

world_n have_v be_v so_o blind_a that_o it_o can_v not_o perceyve_v it_o these_o kind_n of_o man_n have_v expound_v this_o say_n that_o we_o be_v not_o iustify_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n

he_o say_v we_o have_v a_o clear_a and_o sure_a proof_n of_o our_o righteousness_n namely_o that_o we_o be_v rightuous_a before_o god_n through_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o by_o

that_o man_n can_v allege_v too_o bind_v god_n withal_o as_o though_o they_o be_v able_a to_o become_v righteouse_a of_o themselves_o for_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o although_o we_o be_v

which_o he_o have_v make_v with_o we_o in_o say_v he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o so_o then_o if_o we_o can_v perform_v the_o law_n to_o the_o full_a sure_o we_o shall_v

furthermore_o s._n paul_n debate_v of_o the_o case_n of_o ceremony_n be_v because_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o match_v themselves_o with_o god_n and_o too_o have_v the_o

then_o all_o these_o hypocrite_n which_o will_v needs_o become_v righteous_a by_o their_o own_o work_n have_v nothing_o but_o gewgaw_n and_o dotage_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o think_v

the_o thing_n which_o the_o jew_n have_v too_o consider_v in_o that_o visible_a sacrament_n be_v that_o man_n nature_n be_v curse_v before_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v well_o seek_v but_o never_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o seem_v that_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v sin_n intoo_o the_o world_n true_o so_o will_v man_n judge_v of_o he_o after_o their_o own_o opinion_n howbeit_o foolish_o for_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o bring_v sin_n but_o bewray_v sin_n for_o although_o the_o jew_n exercise_v themselves_o in_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o do_v that_o serve_v but_o to_o prove_v unto_o they_o still_o more_o and_o more_o that_o god_n will_v never_o show_v they_o mercy_n but_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o redeemer_n no_o doubt_n but_o that_o in_o live_v chaste_o &_o sober_o &_o therewithal_o in_o walk_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n they_o have_v some_o show_n of_o righteousness_n but_o that_o come_v whole_o of_o

be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n have_v some_o willingness_n and_o desire_n to_o lead_v a_o holy_a life_n it_o must_v not_o come_v in_o account_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n be_v behold_v to_o they_o for_o it_o for_o contrariwise_o they_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o bind_v unto_o god_n but_o on_o the_o otherside_n we_o have_v too_o mark_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o full_o in_o

the_o jew_n can_v not_o be_v so_o well_o take_v and_o accept_v at_o god_n hand_n but_o that_o they_o have_v need_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o their_o salvation_n must_v needs_o be_v ground_v whole_o upon_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n also_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o ceremony_n they_o bear_v themselves_o on_o hand_n that_o there_o be_v great_a holiness_n in_o they_o as_o whereof_o hypocrite_n have_v always_o make_v their_o cloak_n but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o jew_n be_v more_o damnable_a than_o all_o other_o man_n and_o why_o for_o as_o saint_n paul_n say_v without_o the_o law_n sin_n do_v not_o upbrayde_v man_n 13._o insomuch_o that_o man_n fall_v asleep_a and_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o their_o vice_n when_o they_o have_v not_o that_o sumner_n to_o cyte_v they_o before_o god_n judgement_n seat_n then_o whereas_o the_o wretched_a gentile_n may_v have_v some_o defence_n and_o excuse_n at_o least_o wise_a that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o guilty_a before_o god_n the_o jew_n in_o offer_v their_o sacrifize_v have_v it_o witness_v too_o their_o face_n that_o all_o of_o they_o be_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o so_o consequent_o double_a guilty_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o collossian_n s_o paul_n use_v this_o similitude_n 14._o that_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v as_o evidence_n to_o bind_v a_o man_n the_o more_o true_o like_a as_o although_o a_o debtor_n be_v not_o condemn_v by_o order_n of_o law_n nor_o have_v bind_v himself_o before_o

although_o the_o gentyle_n have_v not_o any_o authentical_a matter_n of_o record_n whereby_o to_o be_v condemn_v yet_o cease_v they_o not_o too_o be_v still_o worthy_a of_o death_n but_o as_o for_o the_o man_n that_o have_v pass_v bond_n by_o order_n of_o law_n and_o enter_v his_o debt_n in_o the_o common_a record_n what_o shall_v he_o say_v more_o there_o be_v no_o shift_n for_o he_o he_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o answer_v the_o debt_n out_o of_o hand_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v in_o the_o like_a plight_n for_o their_o wash_n of_o themselves_o when_o they_o go_v intoo_o the_o temple_n and_o in_o their_o own_o house_n and_o every_o where_o else_o be_v a_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o uncleanness_n in_o they_o again_o when_o they_o kill_v the_o beast_n and_o see_v they_o slay_v before_o they_o sure_o the_o same_o be_v as_o a_o lively_a picture_n of_o their_o own_o death_n and_o curse_a state_n and_o yet_o can_v not_o the_o brute_n beast_n nor_o the_o shed_n of_o their_o blood_n set_v they_o clear_a nor_o likewise_o the_o water_n which_o be_v a_o corruptible_a element_n and_o can_v come_v at_o the_o soul_n so_o then_o the_o wash_n which_o they_o use_v have_v be_v a_o fond_a thing_n if_o it_o have_v not_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o spiritual_a wash_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n likewise_o in_o baptism_n at_o these_o day_n if_o we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v make_v clean_o by_o the_o water_n what_o a_o abuse_n be_v it_o all_o these_o thing_n must_v serve_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o whereas_o the_o jew_n be_v exercyse_v in_o the_o law_n the_o same_o be_v a_o great_a evidence_n against_o they_o and_o bind_v they_o straightly_a to_o subjection_n unto_o god_n judgement_n and_o eternal_a death_n than_o the_o gentile_n be_v and_o so_o we_o see_v how_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o a_o bringer_n in_o of_o sin_n but_o a_o discoverer_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o jew_n think_v themselves_o well_o shroud_v under_o the_o ceremony_n and_o make_v a_o shield_v of_o they_o to_o fence_v themselves_o from_o god_n displeasure_n esteem_v all_o other_o nation_n unholy_a upon_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o uncleanness_n in_o all_o the_o world_n besides_o and_o that_o all_o holiness_n be_v in_o themselves_o lo_o what_o their_o bravery_n be_v yea_o but_o when_o jesus_n christ_n come_v and_o put_v they_o in_o order_n he_o show_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v fain_o too_o show_v other_o man_n by_o their_o

too_o confess_v that_o they_o on_o their_o part_n bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o utter_a cursednesse_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n discover_v the_o mischief_n that_o

what_o a_o unthankfulness_n be_v that_o therefore_o here_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o beat_v back_o the_o blasphemy_n and_o grudge_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o burst_v

then_o be_v there_o no_o speak_n here_o of_o some_o handful_n of_o man_n or_o of_o some_o certain_a people_n but_o without_o any_o exception_n god_n open_v the_o gate_n to_o all_o such_o as_o have_v

he_o shall_v say_v when_o god_n justify_v abraham_n he_o have_v not_o respect_n neither_o to_o circumcision_n nor_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v wherewith_o too_o win_v favour_n after_o the_o

of_o his_o faith_n 4_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o god_n do_v now_o still_o receyve_v we_o to_o he_o in_o likewise_o if_o we_o have_v the_o like_a faith_n that_o abraham_n have_v though_o not_o in_o like_a measure_n and_o that_o god_n take_v it_o in_o good_a worth_n though_o we_o do_v but_o follow_v he_o aloof_o then_o belong_v not_o this_o blessing_n to_o abraham_n fleshly_a offspring_n only_o but_o also_o too_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n too_o he_o so_o there_o be_v the_o like_a substance_n and_o fashion_n of_o faith_n in_o they_o howebeeit_n too_o the_o end_n we_o take_v profit_n by_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o remember_v what_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n what_o it_o be_v too_o be_v of_o faith_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o repose_v of_o ourselves_o whole_o in_o god_n mere_a mercy_n but_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o a_o comparison_n of_o thing_n contrary_a and_o which_o can_v no_o more_o agree_v than_o fire_n and_o water_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o be_v of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o be_v of_o fatyh_n yet_o follow_v it_o not_o that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o of_o god_n insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o reject_v it_o at_o who_o do_v such_o contempt_n point_n be_v not_o god_n authority_n impeach_v thereby_o but_o in_o these_o word_n of_o law_n and_o faith_n s._n paul_n respect_v not_o simple_o the_o doctrine_n of_o either_o of_o they_o but_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n that_o man_n may_v conceyve_v of_o they_o for_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n have_v his_o record_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o the_o three_o to_o the_o roman_n â–ª_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a thing_n but_o the_o diversity_n of_o they_o be_v in_o this_o that_o such_o as_o misknowe_a themselves_o and_o be_v blind_v with_o hypocrisy_n think_v too_o purchaze_v favour_n in_o god_n sight_n by_o keep_v the_o law_n which_o thing_n be_v impossible_a those_o therefore_o be_v of_o the_o law_n which_o hold_v of_o the_o law_n as_o though_o they_o be_v able_a too_o earn_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n at_o god_n hand_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n they_o that_o be_v needy_a yea_o or_o rather_o utter_o empty_a of_o themselves_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o grace_n in_o they_o they_o be_v of_o faith_n for_o why_o they_o forsake_v themselves_o and_o seek_v their_o rightuousnesse_n elsewhere_o they_o come_v and_o offer_v themselves_o like_o poor_a beggar_n unto_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o shall_v fill_v they_o whereas_o they_o be_v utter_o empty_a before_o therefore_o mark_v it_o for_o a_o scholepoynt_n that_o by_o the_o force_n of_o faith_n we_o must_v be_v quite_o rid_v of_o all_o selfetrust_a and_o of_o all_o overween_a of_o our_o own_o merit_n and_o have_v our_o whole_a refuge_n to_o god_n mere_a goodness_n but_o true_o we_o can_v come_v right_o forth_o unto_o god_n without_o some_o mean_a our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v fain_o too_o make_v we_o way_n thither_o and_o all_o this_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o word_n faith_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o imagination_n of_o man_n own_o forge_n it_o be_v a_o assuredness_n which_o we_o conceyve_v of_o god_n goodness_n when_o he_o come_v to_o we_o and_o utter_v familiar_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v us._n then_o must_v the_o promise_n go_v before_o or_o else_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o follow_v of_o faith_n to_o be_v short_a whosoever_o have_v not_o be_v train_v in_o the_o gospel_n can_v have_v no_o faith_n at_o all_o for_o god_n must_v first_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o love_v we_o or_o else_o we_o can_v rest_v upon_o his_o goodness_n nor_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o our_o father_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o this_o promise_n be_v god_n not_o only_o say_v that_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n upon_o we_o but_o also_o tell_v we_o that_o although_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o accept_v we_o because_o he_o bury_v all_o our_o sin_n namely_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o sacrifice_n must_v needs_o come_v forth_o every_o where_n where_o any_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o forgive_n of_o sin_n never_o can_v there_o be_v any_o pardon_n get_v at_o god_n hand_n except_o there_o be_v bloudshede_v with_o it_o for_o a_o satisfaction_n so_o then_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o promise_n where_o god_n say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o we_o be_v christ_n shed_v of_o his_o blood_n to_o wash_v away_o our_o spot_n and_o his_o offer_v up_o of_o himself_o for_o a_o full_a amends_n to_o pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o that_o if_o we_o be_v of_o faith_n we_o have_v our_o eye_n fasten_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o rest_n and_o quietness_n be_v altogether_o in_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_a too_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n also_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o to_o be_v bless_v and_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v all_o one_o thing_n according_o as_o s._n paul_n declare_v here_o hardly_o shall_v a_o man_n find_v one_o among_o thirty_o of_o such_o as_o be_v call_v christian_n that_o can_v skill_n to_o define_v this_o word_n justify_v and_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o foul_a shame_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o ear_n daily_o beat_v with_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n then_o to_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o too_o have_v any_o rightuousnesse_n in_o a_o man_n self_n but_o to_o be_v admit_v for_o rightuous_a at_o god_n hand_n though_o we_o be_v not_o so_o and_o here_o you_o see_v why_o i_o say_v that_o we_o have_v a_o good_a open_n of_o this_o doctrine_n in_o that_o saint_n paul_n set_v down_o the_o word_n bless_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o word_n justify_v which_o he_o have_v use_v afore_o according_a to_o the_o four_o of_o the_o roman_n 5._o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n be_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v us._n forsomuch_o then_o as_o god_n be_v favourable_a and_o love_a to_o we_o and_o receyve_v we_o as_o his_o child_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o he_o and_o why_o justify_v because_o he_o can_v love_v sinner_n till_o he_o have_v forgive_v their_o sin_n and_o put_v they_o quite_o away_o we_o know_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v rightuous_a he_o can_v agree_v with_o sin_n but_o must_v needs_o always_o hate_v it_o then_o since_o the_o case_n stand_v so_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o have_v his_o favour_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v first_o clenze_v of_o our_o offence_n for_o so_o long_o as_o they_o come_v to_o reckon_v god_n must_v needs_o hate_v we_o and_o curse_v us._n but_o contrariwize_v when_o he_o wipe_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n then_o receyve_v he_o we_o to_o mercy_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n do_v we_o begin_v to_o be_v bless_v of_o he_o be_v we_o then_o bless_v that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v love_v of_o god_n very_o we_o be_v therewithal_o justify_v also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v whereas_o
staff_n end_n too_o the_o intent_n too_o humble_v he_o as_o he_o do_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a then_o can_v not_o abraham_n bring_v aught_o of_o himself_o for_o look_v what_o goodness_n so_o ever_o he_o have_v he_o hold_v it_o of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o free_a goodness_n and_o moreover_o the_o same_o be_v yet_o still_o unsufficient_a too_o save_o he_o for_o by_o nature_n he_o be_v utter_o lose_v and_o damn_a as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o adam_n line_n be_v therefore_o it_o stand_v he_o in_o hand_n that_o god_n shall_v receyve_v he_o through_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o look_v upon_o he_o single_o in_o his_o faith_n but_o let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o god_n justify_v of_o we_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o his_o own_o mere_a and_o alone_a goodness_n and_o that_o thereupon_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o rest_v in_o his_o promise_n by_o the_o virtue_n whereof_o he_o allow_v and_o accept_v we_o yea_o and_o our_o work_n also_o not_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o come_v of_o ourselves_o but_o for_o that_o we_o do_v they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o do_v he_o accept_v they_o and_o allow_v they_o as_o righteous_a yea_o even_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o to_o reward_v they_o as_o the_o whole_a scripture_n do_v plentiful_o witness_v and_o yet_o do_v all_o this_o also_o proceed_v of_o faith_n for_o when_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v too_o say_v accept_v for_o righteous_a before_o god_n then_o also_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v god_n accept_v they_o for_o rightful_a although_o there_o be_v not_o any_o worthiness_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o cause_n at_o all_o why_o he_o shall_v receive_v they_o then_o like_a as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v justify_v by_o god_n only_o free_a goodness_n when_o we_o receyve_v his_o promise_n by_o faith_n even_o so_o be_v our_o work_n justify_v by_o the_o self_n same_o mean_a after_o that_o manner_n be_v abraham_n justify_v in_o his_o

you_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o nothing_o else_o be_v make_v account_n of_o but_o only_a faith_n for_o have_v god_n list_v to_o sift_v abraham_n life_n he_o have_v be_v condemn_v as_o all_o

have_v his_o eye_n shut_v against_o all_o vain_a trust_v wherewith_o man_n deceyve_v themselves_o he_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o able_a to_o bring_v he_o to_o life_n save_o the_o only_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o be_v short_a like_a as_o abraham_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o of_o god_n mere_a mercy_n so_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n but_o only_o of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v he_o justify_v so_o then_o let_v we_o leave_v all_o thing_n that_o man_n imagine_v to_o bring_v themselves_o in_o favour_n with_o god_n by_o mingle_v this_o and_o that_o with_o faith_n for_o they_o be_v all_o but_o falshod_n and_o illusion_n of_o satan_n and_o let_v faith_n have_v such_o foundation_n as_o this_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o with_o all_o humility_n we_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v then_o righteous_a when_o god_n forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o by_o the_o same_o mean_v our_o work_n also_o be_v reckon_v for_o good_a and_o righteous_a because_o god_n list_v not_o to_o sift_v they_o narrow_o but_o take_v they_o in_o good_a worth_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o gather_v upon_o that_o text_n now_o that_o

then_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o although_o god_n have_v beget_v we_o again_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o we_o strain_v ourselves_o to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o serve_v &_o honour_v

for_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o fashion_v himself_o to_o our_o ability_n it_o become_v we_o to_o regard_v what_o we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o do_v who_o be_v he_o that_o dare_v step_v up_o and_o

this_o text_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o s._n paul_n presuppose_v that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a too_o perform_v the_o law_n though_o he_o strain_v himself_o never_o so_o much_o insomuch_o that_o

we_o back_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o will_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o full_a perfection_n in_o us._n and_o why_o for_o he_o intend_v to_o hold_v we_o still_o under_o the_o bridle_n of_o

his_o whole_a law_n therefore_o we_o can_v never_o do_v thorough_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v us._n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v they_o therefore_o this_o

that_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v give_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o law_n come_v not_o in_o to_o diminish_v or_o alter_v any_o whit_n of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o continue_v still_o in_o his_o own_o fullness_n nature_n and_o force_n true_a it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o show_v himself_o to_o the_o world_n when_o the_o free_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o our_o father_n abraham_n nevertheless_o it_o suffice_v that_o he_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v our_o mediator_n that_o by_o his_o mean_n man_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n now_o if_o any_o man_n allege_v that_o it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v more_o than_o need_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v some_o change_n and_o variableness_n in_o god_n purpose_n see_v the_o law_n come_v in_o saint_n paul_n discuss_v the_o same_o in_o place_n convenient_a and_o we_o must_v not_o huddle_n up_o thing_n together_o for_o all_o can_v be_v utter_v at_o once_o neither_o in_o a_o hour_n nor_o in_o a_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o at_o this_o time_n too_o have_v this_o point_n make_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o promise_n whereby_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o intoo_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n be_v before_o the_o law_n and_o also_o that_o the_o same_o promis_fw-fr have_v not_o any_o respect_n to_o our_o deserve_n nor_o too_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o person_n but_o too_o god_n mere_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n which_o move_v he_o thereunto_o without_o look_v for_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o because_o he_o see_v welynough_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o utter_a misery_n and_o finallye_o that_o the_o say_a promise_n be_v ground_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n chryste_n who_o have_v already_o do_v the_o suffice_v of_o a_o mediator_n to_o make_v we_o way_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n this_o be_v grant_v we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o promise_n have_v abide_v and_o shall_v abide_v for_o ever_o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n and_o that_o be_v say_v express_o because_o the_o jew_n glory_v of_o their_o auncetrie_n but_o saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o their_o father_n abraham_n have_v not_o the_o law_n but_o be_v content_v though_o he_o use_v sacrifise_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n and_o although_o he_o be_v circumcise_v in_o the_o end_n yet_o when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n there_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o they_o any_o law_n write_v no_o nor_o any_o circumcision_n at_o all_o for_o abraham_n be_v uncircumcised_a when_o he_o receive_v the_o promise_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o be_v iustify_v before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v and_o all_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n saint_n paul_n therefore_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v great_o oversee_v too_o shoal_n out_o themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o whole_a woâ—ld_n and_o to_o rest_v continual_o upon_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n see_v that_o abraham_n their_o father_n and_o the_o chief_a patriarch_n of_o the_o church_n be_v iustify_v the_o sefsame_a way_n that_o we_o must_v be_v at_o this_o day_n that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o god_n mere_a mercy_n because_o he_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o accurse_v and_o damn_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o blissednesse_n to_o be_v hope_v for_o other_o than_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v he_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v too_o bear_v in_o mind_n and_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o here_o too_o weigh_v well_o these_o word_n when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o abraham_n that_o all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bliss_v in_o his_o seed_n 3._o now_o there_o be_v here_o two_o principal_a point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n be_v promise_v not_o only_o to_o abraham_n fleshly_a offspring_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o but_o also_o to_o all_o the_o world_n in_o general_n we_o therefore_o be_v make_v partaker_n thereof_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v issue_v of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o such_o as_o be_v heathenfolke_n and_o banish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n although_o then_o that_o we_o be_v not_o of_o that_o holy_a lineage_n which_o god_n have_v choose_v at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v salvation_n to_o be_v extend_v unto_o us._n and_o why_o so_o â–ª_o for_o it_o have_v hin_a promise_v before_o that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v bliss_v see_v it_o be_v so_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o god_n have_v cut_v off_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o bounteousness_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o but_o the_o say_a lineage_n of_o abraham_n consider_v that_o he_o have_v already_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n in_o time_n convenient_a you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a promise_n unto_o abraham_n be_v not_o for_o his_o lineage_n alone_o but_o for_o all_o man_n howbeit_o that_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v at_o the_o first_o dash_n for_o the_o time_n of_o fullness_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v as_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o the_o blissednesse_n which_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v for_o his_o seed_n sake_n for_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o god_n speak_v not_o of_o seed_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n as_o of_o mo_z than_o one_o but_o of_o one_o only_a seed_n which_o must_v be_v conclude_v to_o be_v jesus_n christ_n here_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o saint_n paul_n buzy_v his_o head_n about_o a_o needless_a matter_n for_o the_o word_n seed_n import_v a_o lineage_n or_o offspring_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n not_o some_o one_o man_n or_o ten_o or_o forty_o but_o a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v the_o people_n that_o come_v of_o he_o which_o be_v so_o many_o in_o number_n that_o it_o be_v just_o say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v twelve_o nation_n for_o when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o people_n it_o will_v be_v think_v enough_o to_o have_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o they_o together_o and_o there_o be_v many_o mo_z in_o the_o only_a tribe_n of_o juda_n so_o than_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o saint_n paul_n do_v not_o sufficient_o consider_v what_o god_n mean_v by_o the_o word_n seed_n when_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o only_a man_n but_o we_o must_v weigh_v well_o the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n presuppose_v here_o as_o full_o certain_a and_o resolute_a and_o then_o shall_v we_o perceyve_v his_o argument_n to_o be_v utter_o infallible_a abraham_n have_v not_o one_o son_n alone_o but_o after_o ishmael_n he_o have_v isaac_n also_o and_o what_o become_v of_o his_o elder_a son_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o house_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v within_o a_o while_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v behold_v then_o ishmael_n which_o have_v the_o birthright_n in_o abraham_n house_n be_v nevertheless_o put_v out_o and_o make_v a_o utter_a stranger_n 10._o yea_o and_o as_o a_o rot_a member_n in_o somuch_o that_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o 1._o cast_v out_o the_o son_n of_o the_o handseruante_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o inherit_v in_o my_o house_n afterward_o abraham_n have_v other_o child_n but_o every_o of_o they_o have_v their_o portion_n give_v unto_o they_o and_o be_v send_v away_o 23._o thus_o be_v only_a isaac_n leave_v at_o home_n untoo_o he_o anon_o after_o isaac_n have_v a_o couple_n of_o child_n and_o they_o be_v twin_n of_o one_o womb_n esau_n the_o firstborne_v which_o ought_v too_o have_v have_v the_o preferment_fw-mi be_v likewise_o cast_v off_o so_o as_o he_o be_v not_o count_v for_o the_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n nor_o yet_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o promise_a blessing_n there_o be_v no_o mo_z leave_v but_o jacob_n yea_o and_o although_o the_o father_n bliss_v his_o son_n jacob_n through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n 37_o yet_o he_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o to_o revoke_v or_o change_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v utter_v with_o his_o mouth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o than_o if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n for_o all_o those_o that_o come_v of_o his_o race_n the_o ismaelite_n or_o agarenes_n as_o they_o be_v call_v and_o such_o other_o like_a and_o moreover_o the_o edomite_n also_o shall_v be_v of_o his_o household_n but_o the_o heritage_n be_v take_v quite_o and_o clean_o from_o they_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n must_v be_v consider_v after_o a_o peculiar_a
promise_n of_o it_o as_o we_o have_v see_v here_o you_o see_v also_o why_o we_o be_v call_v abraham_n offspring_n for_o we_o belong_v no_o whit_n at_o all_o to_o he_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o faith_n be_v a_o sufficient_a bond_n too_o knit_v we_o unto_o he_o furthermore_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o pledge_n of_o man_n welfare_n be_v now_o reveal_v unto_o we_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o better_a assurance_n that_o we_o be_v â–ª_o his_o and_o that_o he_o will_v hold_v we_o for_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o christ_n say_v that_o abraham_n see_v his_o day_n and_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o the_o jew_n allege_v the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o patriarch_n yea_o say_v christ_n as_o though_o your_o father_n abraham_n have_v not_o rest_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v too_o he_o concern_v i_o 56_o therefore_o he_o see_v my_o day_n and_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o he_o take_v all_o his_o comfort_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o have_v not_o any_o other_o hope_n of_o salvation_n than_o by_o the_o belief_n which_o he_o have_v in_o the_o doctrine_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o you_o at_o this_o day_n by_o the_o gospel_n that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o john_n baptist_n by_o the_o prophet_n malachi_n 6._o namely_o that_o he_o be_v send_v to_o knit_v the_o heart_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o father_n to_o the_o child_n and_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o person_n of_o john_n baptist_n but_o it_o belong_v also_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n whereunto_o our_o lord_n call_v we_o be_v that_o although_o abraham_n be_v rot_v in_o the_o earth_n so_o long_a time_n ago_o yet_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o promise_n than_o that_o for_o we_o too_o trust_v unto_o so_o we_o be_v knit_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n and_o do_v so_o agree_v together_o as_o we_o can_v call_v upon_o god_n with_o the_o same_o mind_n wherewith_o he_o be_v govern_v according_a as_o in_o very_a deed_n he_o have_v his_o mind_n fix_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o then_o for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o be_v unite_v unto_o abraham_n let_v we_o tend_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o let_v he_o be_v our_o am_a mark_n and_o our_o shoot_n anchor_n till_o we_o be_v all_o assemble_v together_o and_o gather_v up_o into_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v when_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v before_o the_o law_n yea_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v great_o provoke_v to_o constancy_n when_o we_o perceyve_v that_o our_o father_n abraham_n do_v always_o

now_o adays_o too_o go_v on_o steadfast_o whither_o soever_o god_n call_v we_o and_o too_o hold_v up_o our_o head_n till_o we_o come_v too_o the_o crown_n of_o glory_n not_o withstand_v that_o as_o

you_o see_v how_o we_o ought_v too_o put_v this_o text_n in_o ure_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n conclude_v that_o if_o the_o inheritance_n come_v by_o the_o law_n it_o shall_v not_o come_v by_o

the_o one_o be_v that_o what_o soever_o god_n have_v at_o any_o time_n promise_v we_o be_v of_o his_o own_o mere_a free_a goodness_n for_o a_o inheritance_n be_v not_o a_o wage_n or_o hire_n true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o father_n in_o give_v his_o child_n their_o heritage_n may_v well_o say_v see_v how_o i_o take_v pain_n for_o you_o mark_v what_o shall_v come_v of_o it_o you_o shall_v have_v my_o

too_o provide_v for_o such_o as_o be_v so_o ally_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o heritage_n be_v thing_n of_o free_a gift_n among_o man_n we_o must_v not_o take_v eternal_a life_n as_o a_o deserve_a wage_n or_o hire_n at_o god_n hand_n for_o why_o it_o be_v a_o heritage_n mark_v it_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o here_o all_o worthiness_n of_o man_n be_v exclude_v for_o when_o a_o man_n make_v his_o child_n his_o heir_n he_o pass_v not_o whither_o they_o have_v do_v any_o great_a work_n or_o no_o or_o whither_o they_o be_v fair_a or_o foul_a or_o whither_o they_o be_v one_o thing_n or_o

give_v we_o a_o inkling_n that_o we_o be_v all_o of_o we_o utter_o reject_v of_o god_n so_o as_o we_o can_v no_n not_o even_o in_o this_o transitory_a life_n enjoy_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o by_o the_o only_a mere_a grace_n of_o god_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o sun_n shine_v as_o well_o upon_o the_o faithless_a as_o upon_o the_o faithful_a and_o all_o man_n be_v nurrish_v alike_o

we_o know_v that_o the_o great_a number_n perish_v in_o their_o sin_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o remedy_n that_o be_v offer_v they_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o why_o then_o do_v saint_n paul_n

according_a as_o saint_n john_n say_v that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n to_o the_o end_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v

notwithstanding_o howsoever_o we_o fare_v it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o too_o press_v bold_o before_o god_n as_o though_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v receyve_v or_o as_o though_o we_o bring_v he_o any_o

if_o the_o angel_n shall_v come_v to_o account_v before_o god_n they_o can_v not_o answer_v to_o that_o perfection_n of_o rightuousnesse_n &_o much_o less_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o which_o

faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o till_o the_o faith_n be_v revel_v here_o the_o word_n law_n and_o faith_n will_v be_v somewhat_o darksome_a if_o

at_o all_o adventure_n but_o accept_v the_o grace_n that_o he_o offer_v us._n then_o in_o asmuch_o as_o god_n promise_n depend_v not_o upon_o our_o desert_n but_o be_v altogether_o free_o and_o

take_v it_o hitherto_o and_o likewise_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o all_o other_o place_n where_o he_o discourse_v or_o treat_v how_o we_o may_v be_v iustify_v before_o god_n or_o how_o we_o may_v come_v in_o his_o favour_n for_o
they_o be_v both_o one_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o but_o in_o this_o text_n the_o word_n faith_n have_v yet_o a_o more_o peculiar_a signification_n which_o be_v the_o revelation_n or_a

already_o that_o abraham_n be_v iustify_v because_o he_o believe_v god_n &_o that_o we_o also_o must_v be_v fashion_v like_o to_o his_o example_n in_o that_o behalf_n as_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v his_o child_n to_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n then_o have_v faith_n his_o full_a strength_n at_o all_o time_n and_o there_o never_o be_v any_o other_o mean_n to_o set_v god_n and_o man_n at_o one_o but_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o faith_n revel_v in_o abraham_n time_n because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o very_a pledge_n and_o substance_n thereof_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v intoo_o the_o world_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o be_v iustify_v free_o at_o this_o day_n and_o without_o any_o desert_n of_o our_o own_o and_o why_o be_v that_o for_o he_o that_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n 10_o have_v all_o the_o whole_a and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n our_o believe_v with_o our_o hart_n make_v we_o ryghtuouse_a and_o our_o confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n make_v we_o safe_a but_o now_o have_v abraham_n have_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n discover_v unto_o he_o as_o we_o have_v he_o at_o this_o day_n in_o somuch_o that_o he_o be_v as_o good_a as_o crucify_v among_o we_o as_o saint_n paul_n have_v say_v heretofore_o his_o faith_n have_v be_v all_o one_o with_o we_o but_o it_o be_v yet_o after_o a_o sort_n overcover_v that_o be_v to_o say_v although_o abraham_n trust_v in_o jesus_n christ_n hope_v for_o salvation_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o although_o he_o utter_o disinherit_v himself_o know_v that_o there_o be_v virtue_n in_o he_o that_o may_v go_v for_o payment_n before_o god_n yet_o be_v he_o hold_v still_o under_o shadow_n &_o be_v fain_o to_o

saint_n paul_n mean_v by_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v namely_o that_o the_o convenient_a time_n of_o the_o revel_a of_o it_o to_o the_o world_n as_o it_o be_v nowadays_o by_o the_o

partly_o be_v all_o one_o how_o be_v they_o both_o one_o in_o this_o that_o god_n have_v show_v himself_o merciful_a to_o our_o father_n howbeit_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o that_o abraham_n perceive_v how_o it_o stand_v he_o on_o hand_n to_o put_v his_o whole_a trust_n in_o the_o mere_a grace_n of_o god_n give_v over_o himself_o and_o so_o his_o believe_v be_v reckon_v to_o he_o for_o rightuousnesse_n as_o we_o have_v see_v afore_o in_o like_o case_n be_v it_o with_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n so_o then_o their_o take_n be_v all_o one_o with_o we_o in_o that_o they_o ground_v themselves_o upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o boast_v not_o of_o any_o thing_n save_o only_a god_n mercy_n and_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n as_o we_o have_v yet_o be_v there_o also_o a_o diversity_n because_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o have_v sacrifise_n wash_n and_o such_o other_o like_o thing_n till_o the_o come_n

notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v offer_v they_o yet_o they_o make_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o it_o through_o their_o unbeleef_n lewdness_n and_o rebellion_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o

how_o soever_o the_o case_n stand_v let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o he_o which_o be_v lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n take_v that_o subjection_n upon_o he_o to_o set_v we_o free_a from_o it_o for_o

half_n it_o stand_v we_o on_o hand_n to_o mark_v this_o text_n so_o much_o the_o better_a where_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o whosoever_o be_v circumcyse_v be_v a_o debtor_n of_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v after_o that_o sort_n of_o circumcision_n we_o must_v mark_v that_o he_o talk_v not_o according_a to_o god_n first_o institute_v of_o it_o for_o too_o what_o purpose_n do_v god_n give_v it_o untoo_o abraham_n he_o give_v it_o he_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o faith_n 11._o and_o so_o do_v he_o himself_o say_v in_o the_o four_o too_o the_o roman_n therefore_o the_o circumcise_n of_o abraham_n be_v not_o too_o make_v he_o a_o debtor_n of_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o contrariwise_o too_o assure_v

set_v our_o father_n abraham_n at_o full_a liberty_n why_o then_o do_v he_o take_v it_o because_o god_n give_v it_o he_o as_o a_o record_n and_o sacrament_n of_o his_o free_a goodness_n but_o contrariwise_o those_o against_o who_o saint_n paul_n reason_v take_v circumcision_n as_o a_o meritorious_a work_n and_o think_v thereby_o to_o deserve_v at_o god_n hand_n they_o enter_v intoo_o a_o

must_v not_o bargain_n in_o this_o case_n man_n must_v not_o bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o they_o can_v partly_o bind_v god_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v of_o right_o be_v in_o their_o debt_n and_o bind_v of_o necessity_n to_o take_v they_o into_o his_o paradise_n for_o do_v this_o or_o that_o for_o he_o no_o no_o say_v saint_n paul_n we_o must_v go_v more_o substantial_o too_o work_v we_o must_v not_o fall_v to_o bargayn_v with_o god_n to_o say_v that_o he_o bind_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o that_o we_o bind_v he_o to_o give_v we_o everlasting_a life_n if_o we_o come_v to_o that_o point_n we_o be_v debtor_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n to_o be_v short_a saint_n paul_n stryve_v here_o against_o the_o divelishe_a error_n that_o reign_v in_o the_o popedom_n they_o term_v it_o a_o part_a rightuousnesse_n that_o be_v too_o say_v a_o rightuousnesse_n that_o come_v partly_o of_o god_n grace_n and_o partly_o of_o meritorious_a work_n and_o why_o so_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o there_o be_v never_o yet_o man_n in_o this_o world_n that_o perform_v god_n law_n and_o that_o do_v experience_n show_v too_o much_o forasmuch_o then_o as_o the_o papist_n as_o shameless_a as_o they_o be_v do_v know_v well_o enough_o as_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v too_o manifest_a a_o thing_n that_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v all_o the_o law_n they_o say_v we_o maintain_v not_o that_o we_o be_v full_o rightuous_a in_o all_o point_n but_o we_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n
far_o oversee_v as_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o have_v perform_v the_o whole_a law_n then_o if_o all_o of_o we_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o offence_n against_o god_n we_o be_v as_o good_a as_o utter_o undo_v till_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n reach_v we_o his_o hand_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v forget_v the_o rightuousnesse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o lay_v it_o under_o

upon_o this_o text_n where_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v make_v unprofitable_a if_o man_n hope_v to_o justify_v themselves_o by_o the_o law_n for_o it_o have_v be_v too_o common_a a_o error_n in_o all_o age_n that_o at_o the_o first_o set_v forth_o and_o first_o brunt_n man_n will_v needs_o pay_v god_n all_o that_o be_v due_a too_o he_o and_o in_o the_o end_n seek_v

case_n it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o follow_v our_o own_o imagination_n for_o god_n will_v judge_v we_o according_a too_o his_o own_o word_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o reckon_v without_o our_o

all_o except_o we_o seek_v the_o fullness_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v we_o he_o as_o a_o help_n to_o obtain_v our_o salvation_n but_o that_o he_o be_v give_v we_o to_o be_v our_o rightuousnesse_n and_o life_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o in_o our_o own_o self_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o

favour_n that_o we_o must_v find_v at_o god_n hand_n be_v communicate_v to_o we_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a notable_a point_n for_o every_o man_n will_v well_o enough_o grant_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v untoo_o god_n because_o he_o be_v the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o welfare_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n wander_v in_o their_o own_o windlass_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o come_v untoo_o god_n do_v go_v from_o he_o as_o it_o be_v too_o be_v see_v in_o the_o papacy_n where_o wretched_a hypocrite_n &_o the_o

the_o mean_a while_n jesus_n christ_n be_v let_v alone_o and_o no_o man_n make_v account_n of_o he_o but_o they_o rather_o hie_v they_o to_o some_o stock_n or_o stone_n which_o they_o call_v their_o

be_v short_a s._n paul_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o law_n after_o the_o interpretation_n wherewith_o it_o have_v be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o hypocrite_n that_o buzy_v their_o head_n about_o pelt_a
