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.

a_o familiar_a kind_n of_o behold_v which_o the_o wicked_a can_v bear_v but_o be_v sore_o amaze_v yea_o over_o and_o beside_o that_o they_o shall_v horrible_o fear_v and_o fly_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n his_o glory_n shall_v blind_v their_o eye_n even_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v amaze_v with_o confusion_n for_o we_o see_v how_o adam_n know_v his_o own_o evil_n flee_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n gen._n 3.6_o and_o god_n do_v pronounce_v that_o general_o upon_o all_o man_n by_o moses_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v i_o and_o live_v exod._n 33.20_o because_o it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v but_o that_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n as_o a_o consume_a fire_n do_v consume_v we_o as_o stubble_n such_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o as_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v renew_v in_o we_o we_o have_v eye_n prepare_v to_o the_o see_v of_o god_n and_o now_o indeed_o god_n begin_v to_o restore_v his_o image_n in_o we_o but_o in_o how_o small_a a_o measure_n therefore_o except_o we_o be_v disburden_v of_o all_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o flesh_n we_o can_v see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n which_o also_o be_v express_v in_o this_o note_n such_o as_o he_o be_v neither_o do_v he_o now_o take_v from_o we_o all_o sight_n of_o god_n in_o this_o life_n but_o so_o as_o paul_n say_v 1._o cor._n 13.12_o now_o we_o see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n by_o a_o dark_a speak_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o see_v with_o a_o eye_n beholdinge_v he_o discern_v else_o where_o in_o sum_n god_n set_v forth_o himself_o now_o to_o be_v see_v of_o we_o not_o such_o as_o he_o be_v but_o such_o as_o our_o small_a capacity_n can_v comprehend_v he_o so_o be_v fulfil_v that_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o moses_n that_o we_o see_v he_o only_o as_o it_o be_v on_o the_o backpart_n exo._n 33.23_o because_o in_o his_o face_n there_o be_v a_o overpassing_a brightness_n it_o be_v further_a to_o be_v note_v that_o this_o reason_n which_o the_o apostle_n bring_v be_v take_v from_o the_o effect_n and_o not_o from_o the_o cause_n for_o he_o do_v not_o teach_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o therefore_o because_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o sight_n of_o he_o but_o he_o proove_v that_o we_o shall_v therefore_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a glory_n because_o except_v our_o nature_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o spiritual_a heavenly_a and_o a_o happy_a immortality_n it_o can_v never_o come_v so_o near_o unto_o god_n and_o yet_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v such_o a_o perfection_n of_o glory_n in_o we_o that_o our_o sight_n shall_v comprehend_v god_n whole_o for_o there_o shall_v be_v even_o then_o between_o he_o and_o we_o a_o great_a distance_n of_o proportion_n but_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v he_o note_v out_o a_o new_a &_o unspeakable_a kind_n of_o see_v whereof_o we_o be_v now_o ignorant_a for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o walk_v by_o faith_n paul_n teach_v that_o we_o be_v stranger_n from_o he_o 2._o cor._n 5.6_o and_o so_o often_o as_o he_o yield_v himself_o to_o be_v see_v of_o the_o father_n he_o be_v not_o see_v in_o his_o be_v but_o under_o certain_a mark_n there_o then_o shall_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n which_o now_o be_v secret_a be_v see_v at_o the_o last_o in_o itself_o when_o the_o veil_n of_o this_o mortal_a and_o corruptible_a nature_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o i_o pass_v by_o other_o subtle_a reason_n for_o we_o see_v how_o augustine_n do_v vex_v himself_o in_o they_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v he_o do_v not_o rid_v himself_o thereof_o both_o in_o his_o epistel_n to_o paulina_n and_o fortunatus_n and_o also_o in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o city_n of_o god_n 22._o &_o in_o other_o place_n yet_o that_o which_o he_o say_v there_o be_v worth_a note_n that_o in_o this_o inquisition_n the_o mean_a of_o see_v be_v more_o excellent_a then_o of_o speak_v and_o that_o there_o must_v be_v heed_n take_v lest_o while_n by_o contend_v we_o seek_v how_o god_n can_v be_v see_v we_o lose_v the_o peace_n and_o holiness_n without_o which_o no_o man_n shall_v see_v he_o 3_o every_o one_o which_o have_v this_o hope_n now_o he_o conclude_v that_o therefore_o the_o endeavour_n of_o holiness_n ought_v not_o to_o wax_v cold_a in_o we_o because_o our_o felicity_n do_v not_o yet_o appear_v for_o that_o hope_n suffice_v further_o we_o know_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v hope_v for_o which_o be_v hide_v the_o meaning_n therefore_o be_v howsoever_o we_o have_v not_o christ_n yet_o present_a before_o our_o eye_n if_o yet_o we_o trust_v in_o he_o that_o it_o can_v be_v but_o this_o hope_n will_v stir_v we_o up_o and_o prick_v we_o forward_o to_o follow_v after_o holiness_n because_o be_v right_o it_o guide_v we_o to_o christ_n who_o we_o know_v to_o be_v the_o perfect_a example_n of_o holiness_n 4_o whosoever_o do_v commit_v sin_n do_v also_o commit_v iniquity_n and_o sin_n be_v iniquity_n 5_o further_o you_o know_v that_o he_o be_v make_v manifest_a that_o he_o may_v take_v away_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n 6_o whosoever_o abide_v in_o he_o sin_v not_o whosoever_o sin_v have_v not_o see_v he_o 4_o the_o apostle_n have_v before_o already_o show_v how_o unkind_a we_o be_v towards_o god_n if_o we_o light_o esteem_v the_o honour_n of_o our_o adoption_n whereby_o he_o prevent_v we_o of_o his_o own_o good_a will_n &_o do_v not_o at_o the_o least_o render_v unto_o he_o love_v again_o he_o have_v together_o put_v in_o between_o that_o admonition_n that_o our_o affection_n must_v not_o be_v make_v less_o because_o the_o happy_a estate_n promise_v be_v defer_v and_o now_o because_o man_n use_v to_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o evil_n more_o than_o be_v meet_v he_o correct_v this_o wicked_a cocker_a pronounce_v that_o they_o be_v wicked_a and_o breaker_n of_o the_o law_n whosoever_o do_v sin_n for_o it_o be_v very_o credible_a that_o there_o be_v then_o such_o as_o by_o these_o flatter_n do_v extenuate_v their_o sin_n and_o make_v they_o seem_v less_o than_o they_o be_v it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o we_o sin_n because_o we_o be_v man_n but_o there_o be_v great_a odds_n between_o sin_n and_o the_o break_n of_o the_o law_n the_o apostle_n drive_v from_o they_o this_o vain_a excuse_n when_o he_o define_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n for_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o set_v before_o they_o the_o hatred_n and_o horror_n of_o sin_n the_o name_n itself_o of_o sin_n seem_v to_o some_o to_o be_v but_o a_o light_a thing_n but_o iniquity_n or_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n can_v so_o easy_o be_v forgive_v but_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o make_v sin_n equal_a when_o he_o condemn_v all_o sinner_n of_o iniquity_n but_o he_o labour_v simp_o to_o teach_v that_o sin_n arise_v of_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n &_o that_o by_o sin_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v break_v wherefore_o this_o doctrine_n of_o john_n have_v none_o agreement_n with_o that_o dote_a paradox_n of_o the_o stoikes_n furthermore_o to_o sin_n in_o this_o place_n do_v not_o signify_v to_o offend_v in_o some_o work_n nor_o be_v the_o name_n of_o sin_n take_v for_o everye_o offence_n but_o he_o call_v the_o sin_n when_o man_n run_v headlong_o into_o evil_a with_o the_o whole_a affection_n of_o the_o hart_n and_o he_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o other_o sin_n except_o they_o which_o be_v addict_v to_o sin_n neither_o be_v the_o faithful_a who_o be_v still_o entangle_v with_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o flesh_n take_v for_o wicked_a albeit_o they_o be_v not_o clean_a and_o pure_a from_o sin_n but_o because_o sin_n do_v not_o reign_v in_o they_o john_n say_v that_o they_o sin_v not_o as_o i_o will_v anon_o express_v more_o at_o large_a the_o sum_n of_o this_o sentence_n be_v that_o their_o wicked_a life_n who_o give_v themselves_o leave_v to_o sin_n be_v abominable_a to_o god_n and_o can_v be_v endure_v of_o he_o see_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o law_n hence_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v nor_o can_v it_o be_v gather_v that_o the_o faithful_a be_v wicked_a because_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n &_o they_o mislike_v with_o themselves_o because_o of_o their_o sin_n &_o that_o for_o every_o offence_n and_o again_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v they_o frame_v their_o life_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n but_o where_o the_o desire_n or_o usual_a course_n of_o sin_v be_v with_o deliberation_n there_o be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n 5_o far_o you_o know_v that_o he_o have_v appear_v he_o show_v by_o another_o argument_n
