hold_v by_o tradition_n but_o write_v by_o moses_n not_o in_o doubtful_a testimony_n but_o in_o manifest_a show_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o this_o their_o opinion_n they_o do_v not_o think_v be_v any_o coniectural_a exposition_n but_o the_o manifest_a word_n as_o it_o be_v oft_o repeat_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o ordinance_n to_o they_o for_o over_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o apostle_n have_v compassion_n upon_o 12._o his_o weak_a brethren_n who_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o be_v also_o thus_o addict_v to_o the_o law_n he_o write_v unto_o they_o this_o epistle_n by_o all_o mean_n persuade_v they_o never_o to_o join_v together_o our_o saviour_n christ_n with_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n who_o glory_n be_v perfect_a in_o himself_o alone_o and_o all_o height_n

all_o the_o gold_n silver_n precious_a stone_n &_o all_o the_o ornament_n of_o the_o temple_n they_o be_v but_o beggarly_a element_n nothing_o else_o in_o earth_n nothing_o vikler_n earth_n nothing_o

only_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n this_o epistle_n be_v write_v wherein_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o mark_v how_o from_o the_o beginning_n sathan_n have_v strive_v to_o obscure_v and_o darken_v the_o glory_n of_o christ_n and_o how_o he_o have_v hold_v still_o the_o same_o purpose_n unconstant_o even_o to_o our_o day_n first_o he_o change_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n with_o glorious_a name_n of_o moses_n moses_n under_o pretence_n of_o holiness_n strive_v against_o truth_n a_o marvellous_a practice_n &_o in_o those_o day_n enough_o to_o have_v subvert_v the_o faith_n of_o many_o for_o who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o such_o man_n so_o great_a lover_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o moses_n shall_v be_v

faith_n neither_o upon_o the_o glorious_a word_n nor_o upon_o the_o glorious_a ham_n of_o mortal_a man_n for_o this_o deceive_v from_o the_o beginning_n but_o the_o word_n itself_o must_v be_v graff_v in_o we_o if_o we_o will_v not_o err_v so_o now_o in_o these_o our_o last_o time_n in_o which_o the_o devil_n strive_v as_o at_o the_o first_o we_o see_v how_o many_o say_v unto_o we_o the_o church_n the_o church_n the_o pope_n the_o pope_n the_o father_n the_o father_n &_o many_o thousand_o be_v lead_v with_o this_o sound_n of_o word_n yet_o in_o these_o word_n be_v no_o wisdom_n only_o they_o

then_o we_o must_v try_v they_o and_o examine_v they_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o true_a church_n or_o true_a father_n they_o speak_v of_o to_o follow_v a_o church_n you_o know_v not_o what_o be_v to_o

enough_o for_o the_o end_n of_o their_o religion_n be_v that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o devotion_n now_o touch_v the_o author_n of_o this_o epistle_n who_o author_n it_o be_v it_o skill_v not_o for_o if_o the_o name_n have_v be_v here_o what_o have_v it_o show_v but_o that_o god_n use_v the_o ministry_n of_o such_o a_o man_n and_o now_o the_o time_n be_v not_o know_v it_o teach_v express_o the_o doctrine_n be_v of_o god_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n to_o the_o book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n name_n be_v sometime_o add_v sometime_o not_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v unto_o we_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o for_o my_o part_n who_o write_v this_o epistle_n i_o can_v not_o tell_v nor_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n why_o i_o shall_v seek_v it_o for_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v lest_o it_o out_o can_v i_o think_v it_o the_o better_a if_o i_o shall_v add_v it_o i_o remember_v athanasius_n say_v that_o since_o the_o 11._o gospel_n be_v first_o preach_v this_o epistle_n be_v ever_o think_v to_o be_v paul_n but_o eusebius_n as_o bold_o on_o the_o other_o side_n say_v that_o he_o dare_v constant_o affirm_v as_o the_o sense_n be_v the_o apostle_n so_o the_o phrase_n &_o pen_n be_v some_o other_o man_n but_o who_o god_n know_v and_o 19_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o author_n who_o we_o will_v leave_v as_o we_o find_v he_o a_o faithful_a witness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o who_o name_n we_o know_v not_o now_o for_o the_o time_n in_o which_o it_o be_v write_v it_o be_v certain_a it_o be_v in_o you_o apostle_n day_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v after_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n threaten_v so_o oft_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n to_o those_o who_o will_v despise_v his_o write_v son_n no_o doubt_n he_o will_v have_v mention_v so_o singular_a a_o example_n beside_o this_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o timothy_n as_o his_o companion_n and_o fellow_n who_o be_v famous_a among_o the_o apostle_n and_o it_o be_v like_a that_o this_o epistle_n be_v write_v about_o the_o late_a end_n of_o the_o apostle_n age_n because_o he_o say_v that_o this_o doctrine_n first_o preach_v by_o the_o lord_n have_v now_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o they_o that_o hear_v it_o and_o note_v the_o time_n how_o long_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v preach_v afore_o he_o say_v that_o time_n require_v that_o now_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o be_v teacher_n of_o it_o again_o in_o the_o x._o chapter_n he_o put_v they_o in_o remembrance_n that_o in_o time_n past_a they_o have_v suffer_v great_a and_o manifold_a affliction_n for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n so_o that_o we_o easy_o see_v this_o epistle_n as_o it_o be_v holy_a and_o apostolical_a in_o the_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n so_o it_o have_v also_o the_o honour_n of_o their_o time_n and_o thus_o far_o of_o the_o occasion_n author_n and_o time_n of_o this_o epistle_n now_o as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o epistle_n argument_n of_o the_o whole_a epistle_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o only_o in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o argument_n he_o handle_v thus_o first_o set_v out_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o he_o be_v in_o the_o ten_o first_o chapiter_n then_o how_o salvation_n be_v through_o he_o in_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o epistle_n in_o set_v forth_o our_o saviour_n christ_n who_o he_o be_v he_o show_v first_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o person_n in_o the_o two_o first_o chapter_n then_o what_o be_v his_o office_n in_o the_o next_o eight_o touch_v his_o person_n he_o teach_v first_o that_o he_o be_v perfect_a god_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n then_o that_o he_o be_v perfect_a man_n in_o the_o second_o chap._n of_o which_o we_o will_v speak_v more_o particular_o in_o expound_v of_o the_o text_n of_o his_o office_n whereof_o we_o say_v he_o intreat_v in_o the_o viij_o next_o chapter_n he_o teach_v this_o first_o that_o he_o be_v our_o prophet_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n to_o the_o xiiii_o verse_n of_o the_o four_o then_o that_o he_o be_v our_o priest_n from_o thence_o to_o the_o nineteeen_o verse_n of_o the_o x._o chapter_n and_o though_o the_o apostle_n of_o purpose_n and_o with_o great_a care_n do_v plain_o teach_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o king_n yet_o because_o this_o necessary_o follow_v of_o the_o other_o &_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o messiah_n their_o priest_n and_o prophet_n shall_v be_v also_o their_o prince_n and_o king_n therefore_o he_o seem_v not_o to_o make_v any_o particular_a entreaty_n of_o this_o as_o of_o the_o other_o office_n but_o as_o he_o be_v a_o kingly_a prophet_n a_o kingly_a priest_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o in_o proof_n of_o all_o these_o he_o make_v with_o they_o manifest_a proof_n of_o his_o kingdom_n at_o in_o the_o text_n more_o plain_o god_n will_v i_o will_v
servant_n faithful_o declare_v all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o these_o word_n the_o thing_n which_o shall_v after_o be_v spoken●…_n though_o they_o be_v true_o understand_v of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n because_o in_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v shadow_v and_o moses_n also_o himself_o do_v bear_v witness_n of_o christ_n yet_o because_o here_o be_v comparison_n make_v between_o christ_n and_o moses_n distinct_o speak_v of_o both_o their_o calling_n therefore_o i_o rather_o take_v these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n here_o only_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o law_n give_v by_o moses_n so_o moses_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o bear_v witness_n of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o lord_n here_o be_v the_o full_a office_n and_o whole_a authority_n of_o a_o true_a servant_n faithful_o to_o do_v his_o master_n message_n and_o moses_n the_o most_o renown_v of_o all_o prophet_n and_o great_a among_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n what_o be_v he_o a_o servant_n to_o declare_v unto_o the_o people_n all_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v who_o be_v he_o now_o will_v presume_v above_o moses_n to_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o head_n ordinance_n and_o law_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o make_v who_o will_v establish_v decree_n of_o his_o own_o in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n whosoever_o he_o be_v he_o shall_v carry_v his_o judgement_n he_o be_v not_o a_o servant_n as_o moses_n be_v because_o he_o bear_v not_o witness_v only_o to_o the_o word_n that_o god_n have_v speak_v but_o he_o exalt_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o master_n and_o have_v a_o mouth_n that_o speak_v proud_a thing_n because_o he_o presume_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n to_o give_v law_n &_o order_n of_o his_o own_o for_o if_o he_o be_v a_o servant_n he_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o bear_v witness_n what_o his_o master_n have_v say_v and_o here_o by_o this_o place_n we_o may_v well_o expound_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n james_n peter_n write_v then selue_o the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ._n the_o word_n itself_o be_v manifest_a proof_n they_o speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n no_o decree_n no_o constitution_n no_o order_n be_v of_o their_o own_o they_o be_v but_o servant_n but_o all_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v their_o only_a master_n and_o as_o their_o name_n give_v this_o testimony_n unto_o they_o so_o paul_n open_o affirm_v it_o in_o plain_a word_n before_o king_n agrippa_n that_o even_o to_o that_o day_n he_o never_o witness_v any_o 〈◊〉_d thing_n neither_o to_o great_a nor_o little_a but_o only_o that_o which_o moses_n before_o &_o all_o the_o prophet_n have_v say_v shall_v come_v to_o pass_v then_o let_v not_o the_o papist_n hereafter_o say_v when_o we_o speak_v against_o all_o their_o vain_a device_n that_o they_o be_v tradition_n leave_v by_o the_o apostle_n for_o as_o they_o have_v not_o the_o apostle_n place_n but_o in_o stead_n of_o servant_n be_v make_v lord_n so_o they_o hold_v no_o whit_n of_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n or_o if_o they_o will_v still_o avouch_v it_o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v deliver_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o they_o teach_v than_o they_o must_v show_v where_o moses_n or_o the_o prophet_n 12._o have_v foretell_v it_o for_o the_o apostle_n be_v servant_n to_o bear_v witness_n only_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o god_n have_v speak_v by_o his_o servant_n before_o they_o that_o be_v by_o moses_n &_o the_o prophet_n without_o who_o warrant_n whatsoever_o come_v we_o may_v bold_o say_v we_o utter_o refuse_v it_o it_o follow_v but_o christ_n as_o the_o son_n be_v over_o his_o house_n in_o this_o name_n son_n he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v preeminence_n to_o rule_v in_o the_o house_n but_o a_o perpetuity_n to_o dwell_v in_o that_o house_n and_o to_o reign_v as_o the_o scripture_n say_v in_o the_o house_n of_o jacob_n for_o ever_o so_o that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v heir_n of_o all_o thing_n he_o rule_v in_o this_o house_n as_o lord_n &_o governor_n who_o commandment_n alone_o do_v stand_v and_o again_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n eternal_o beget_v of_o his_o father_n he_o ever_o do_v

rebellious_a servant_n he_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o house_n and_o a_o other_o shall_v have_v his_o room_n therefore_o even_o as_o before_o the_o apostle_n make_v his_o exhortation_n that_o they_o will_v consider_v this_o apostle_n &_o high_a priest_n of_o their_o procession_n even_o so_o let_v we_o &_o humble_v ourselves_o under_o this_o high_a lord_n in_o the_o house_n of_o
