a_o build_n lie_v upon_o the_o corner_n but_o by_o the_o way_n let_v we_o mark_v also_o that_o s._n paul_n mean_v not_o too_o set_v christ_n alone_o in_o a_o row_n by_o himself_o and_o to_o couch_v other_o stone_n with_o he_o that_o shall_v have_v mastership_n and_o authority_n as_o well_o as_o he_o but_o simple_o too_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o diversity_n between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n as_o touch_v the_o substance_n of_o they_o but_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o and_o that_o we_o be_v so_o join_v and_o knit_v together_o by_o his_o mean_n that_o all_o of_o we_o be_v make_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o belong_v by_o unity_n of_o faith_n too_o the_o spiritual_a building_n wherein_o god_n intend_v too_o dwell_v yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o our_o faith_n rest_v not_o whole_o upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o can_v be_v build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n for_o whereas_o the_o papist_n invent_v patroness_n and_o advocate_n too_o get_v they_o favour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o heap_v up_o a_o number_n of_o mean_n too_o merit_v withal_o it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o

it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o foundation_n too_o bear_v up_o the_o whole_a building_n now_o if_o the_o buildig_v be_v too_o wide_o and_o overhang_v it_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v down_o even_o so_o go_v it_o with_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n so_o as_o our_o faith_n be_v line_v and_o level_v unto_o he_o and_o we_o stick_v too_o he_o without_o add_v of_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o he_o must_v needs_o disavow_v we_o for_o any_o of_o he_o and_o cast_v we_o quite_o away_o and_o in_o good_a faith_n the_o papist_n &_o their_o like_a do_v well_o be_v wray_v their_o great_a unthankfulness_n by_o their_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o and_o by_o their_o add_v of_o new_a mean_n at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n this_o wrong_n and_o outrage_n which_o they_o do_v too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n deserve_v well_o that_o we_o shall_v tumble_v they_o down_o and_o cut_v they_o quite_o off_o from_o god_n church_n therefore_o if_o we_o mind_n too_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n that_o s._n paul_n set_v forth_o to_o we_o here_o let_v we_o beware_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v so_o frame_v too_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n as_o too_o reject_v whatsoever_o thing_n man_n shall_v have_v invent_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v the_o next_o way_n too_o draw_v we_o too_o destruction_n and_o that_o we_o can_v be_v ground_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n too_o stand_v

not_o too_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n ne_o can_v be_v of_o god_n church_n except_o it_o be_v by_o follow_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o by_o forsake_v as_o

they_o will_v find_v store_n enough_o of_o fine_a pedlery_n too_o make_v folk_n believe_v that_o their_o add_v of_o so_o many_o gewgaw_n be_v not_o without_o cause_n but_o howsoever_o they_o fare_v if_o we_o covet_v too_o be_v join_v and_o unite_v too_o jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v so_o abide_v in_o he_o as_o too_o make_v none_o account_v of_o any_o other_o thing_n and_o therewithal_o we_o see_v also_o that_o too_o be_v take_v for_o god_n child_n we_o must_v give_v our_o wynd_n too_o true_a concord_n for_o s._n paul_n set_v down_o both_o twain_o of_o they_o here_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o be_v thing_n inseparable_a that_o christian_n be_v teach_v god_n word_n pure_o shall_v with_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o mind_n receive_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o set_v forth_o unto_o

of_o his_o wife_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n require_v nothing_o at_o the_o husband_n hand_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v love_v his_o wife_n in_o another_o text_n too_o the_o

bear_v with_o their_o frailty_n if_o a_o man_n take_v a_o toy_n in_o his_o head_n that_o his_o wife_n be_v unconstant_a and_o light_v or_o too_o be_v short_a if_o he_o despise_v she_o under_o

thereupon_o bear_v with_o she_o as_o he_o will_v be_v bear_v withal_o himself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o be_v too_o be_v define_v that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o here_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v dote_v in_o fond_a love_n as_o it_o fall_v out_o oftentimes_o and_o the_o last_o sunday_n i_o allege_v the_o example_n of_o such_o as_o pretend_v too_o be_v very_o hot_a in_o maintenance_n of_o their_o wife_n quarrel_n abroad_o and_o yet_o be_v devil_n to_o they_o at_o home_n so_o then_o the_o love_n that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v a_o right_a and_o good_a affection_n which_o the_o man_n bear_v too_o his_o wife_n because_o he_o know_v that_o god_n have_v knit_v they_o together_o as_o though_o he_o have_v put_v they_o together_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o say_v live_v you_o two_o together_o in_o peace_n and_o concord_n again_o as_o touch_v the_o wife_n because_o they_o be_v loath_a too_o bear_v the_o yoke_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o their_o shoulder_n therefore_o in_o the_o other_o text_n saint_n paul_n do_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o wedlock_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o which_o have_v set_v

for_o a_o woman_n will_v always_o find_v matter_n enough_o in_o her_o husband_n too_o despise_v he_o if_o he_o have_v any_o goodness_n she_o will_v go_v about_o too_o deface_v it_o that_o she_o may_v have_v occasion_n too_o say_v why_o shall_v this_o man_n have_v pre-eminence_n over_o i_o for_o he_o be_v no_o more_o able_a too_o rule_v than_o i_o and_o we_o know_v what_o overween_a there_o be_v in_o man_n and_o woman_n for_o every_o one_o think_v himself_o more_o able_a than_o his_o fellow_n the_o wife_n therefore_o will_v feign_v govern_v and_o have_v the_o mastery_n for_o that_o cause_n do_v saint_n paul_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v abide_v in_o the_o state_n that_o god_n have_v put_v they_o in_o that_o be_v too_o wit_n in_o subjection_n and_o that_o they_o must_v not_o stand_v scan_v what_o be_v in_o their_o husband_n too_o examine_v whether_o they_o be_v worthy_a too_o have_v authority_n and_o superiority_n or_o no_o but_o that_o they_o must_v consider_v what_o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o obey_v the_o same_o without_o gainsay_v or_o reply_v they_o must_v not_o inquire_v why_o be_v this_o and_o why_o be_v that_o too_o the_o intent_n too_o find_v some_o
