have_v forsake_v he_o and_o yet_o have_v he_o always_o a_o perfect_a faith_n without_o be_v overthrow_v or_o shake_v any_o kind_n of_o way_n why_o then_o say_v he_o wherefore_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o this_o proceed_v from_o a_o natural_a man_n conceit_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o touch_v weak_a flesh_n be_v as_o a_o man_n forsake_v of_o god_n &_o yet_o he_o give_v not_o over_o his_o trust_n that_o he_o have_v in_o he_o now_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v two_o point_n in_o these_o word_n which_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n seem_v clean_o contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o &_o yet_o they_o agree_v very_o well_o together_o for_o when_o he_o say_v my_o god_n my_o god_n with_o such_o a_o redouble_a he_o show_v therein_o the_o constancy_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o say_v not_o where_o be_v god_n what_o have_v he_o forsake_v i_o but_o he_o continual_o stick_v fast_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o he_o be_v persuade_v &_o full_o resolve_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v favourable_a access_n always_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n hereby_o i_o say_v we_o see_v a_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a testimony_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n whenas_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o his_o extremity_n and_o torment_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n his_o father_n without_o hypocrisy_n because_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o he_o call_v on_o he_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v i_o say_v a_o sufficient_a declaration_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o redouble_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a and_o dangerous_a combat_n as_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o set_v himself_o against_o all_o the_o temptation_n wherewith_o satan_n can_v any_o way_n assail_v he_o and_o seek_v to_o strengthen_v his_o faith_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v continual_o persevere_v in_o call_v upon_o god_n now_o he_o eftsoon_o say_v why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o and_o this_o he_o speak_v according_a to_o man_n reach_n for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v choose_v but_o that_o he_o must_v grow_v to_o that_o point_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o yet_o not_o be_v overcome_v thereof_o according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o saint_n peter_n 2.24_o acts._n 2.24_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v keep_v under_o with_o the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o death_n have_v take_v hold_n of_o he_o as_o of_o a_o miserable_a wretched_a and_o oppress_v man_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o as_o say_v saint_n peter_n to_o be_v hold_v down_o and_o so_o he_o win_v the_o victory_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fight_n and_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a glory_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n david_n have_v partly_o a_o feel_v hereof_o for_o this_o be_v most_o sure_a that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o his_o great_a affliction_n he_o persevere_v in_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o frail_a man_n his_o faith_n be_v oftentimes_o shake_v as_o he_o confess_v himself_o howbeit_o there_o be_v a_o special_a matter_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n whereof_o we_o speak_v on_o sunday_n last_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o all_o his_o suffering_n be_v right_o square_v and_o order_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o integrity_n and_o pureness_n in_o who_o be_v no_o corruption_n of_o nature_n but_o it_o oftentimes_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o sorrow_n yea_o our_o fear_n and_o care_n proceed_v from_o a_o just_a cause_n and_o yet_o they_o shall_v always_o be_v intermedle_v with_o sin_n because_o all_o our_o passion_n be_v corrupt_a but_o there_o be_v no_o unquietness_n nor_o yet_o disorder_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o torment_n be_v not_o such_o but_o that_o he_o have_v always_o a_o sure_a and_o a_o undoubted_a trust_n in_o god_n and_o so_o firm_o and_o constant_o call_v upon_o he_o because_o he_o right_o well_o know_v that_o he_o will_v save_v he_o even_o in_o the_o great_a extremity_n and_o thereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o some_o of_o those_o which_o be_v about_o he_o mock_v he_o this_o man_n say_v they_o call_v upon_o elias_n let_v we_o see_v and_o if_o elias_n will_v come_v &_o help_v he_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o the_o soldier_n who_o know_v not_o the_o law_n may_v have_v say_v so_o well_o enough_o and_o yet_o it_o have_v be_v but_o a_o foolish_a kind_n of_o speech_n for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o elie_n be_v and_o it_o be_v not_o like_a that_o the_o priest_n who_o be_v acquanit_v with_o the_o law_n will_v speak_v this_o blasphemye_n what_o be_v they_o deceive_v in_o the_o say_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n no_o for_o the_o prophet_n elias_n be_v not_o name_v after_o that_o sort_n the_o name_n therefore_o be_v not_o abuse_v because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n in_o it_o see_v the_o word_n of_o elias_n be_v otherwise_o pronounce_v &_o the_o word_n elie_n that_o be_v to_o say_v my_o god_n be_v as_o common_a as_o be_v possible_a and_o to_o the_o cause_n can_v not_o

i_o beseech_v the_o lord_n there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a example_n among_o we_o at_o this_o day_n for_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o papist_n even_o at_o this_o day_n slaunderouslye_o backbite_v and_o

which_o way_n they_o please_v as_o may_v easy_o be_v see_v to_o colour_v their_o leasing_n with_o and_o to_o entertain_v the_o miserable_a blind_a and_o ignorant_a soul_n with_o their_o fond_a and_o

certain_a beggar_n which_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o we_o go_v about_o to_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o a_o desperate_a case_n and_o past_o all_o hope_n whenas_o we_o say_v that_o he_o suffer_v the_o torment_n of_o death_n and_o that_o he_o be_v cast_v down_o as_o it_o be_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o present_v

here_o these_o dog_n professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n never_o cease_v blaspheme_v wherein_o they_o show_v themselves_o to_o be_v far_o worse_o than_o those_o which_o be_v in_o this_o place_n speak_v of_o since_o than_o we_o see_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v at_o this_o day_n whet_v the_o tongue_n of_o his_o supporter_n and_o that_o every_o of_o they_o with_o a_o beastly_a shamelesseness_n

see_v in_o sum_n what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o this_o place_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v at_o this_o day_n come_v to_o voice_n and_o a_o few_o weak_a people_n shall_v behold_v it_o what_o

he_o may_v cut_v the_o throat_n of_o these_o objection_n say_v that_o there_o will_v not_o be_v above_o four_o or_o ten_o at_o the_o most_o but_o that_o all_o man_n for_o the_o more_o part_n will_v

the_o eight_o chapter_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o stumble_a block_n to_o these_o two_o house_n to_o wit_n to_o the_o tribe_n of_o abraham_n we_o see_v then_o that_o a_o man_n will_v have_v think_v that_o the_o people_n who_o god_n have_v special_o choose_v to_o himself_o must_v needs_o have_v know_v their_o redeemer_n for_o to_o who_o be_v jesus_n christ_n promise_v forsooth_o even_o to_o the_o

say_v that_o the_o principal_a and_o chief_a builder_n refuse_v he_o to_o wit_n the_o prince_n and_o head_n of_o the_o people_n and_o even_o so_o fare_v it_o at_o this_o day_n for_o not_o only_a

that_o the_o devil_n may_v very_o well_o devise_v all_o the_o mischief_n he_o can_v possible_o and_o bend_v all_o his_o force_n to_o overthrow_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o be_v as_o be_v

it_o may_v more_o and_o more_o fructify_v and_o when_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v utter_o deface_v that_o god_n will_v uphold_v it_o and_o overcome_v whatsoever_o may_v be_v any_o

we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v let_v we_o give_v ear_n unto_o the_o message_n that_o be_v daily_o

increase_v more_o and_o more_o until_o he_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o a_o full_a end_n and_o perfection_n let_v we_o now_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n and_o

therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o father_n of_o life_n which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n wherefore_o we_o come_v to_o seek_v he_o in_o the_o supper_n and_o every_o one_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v therefore_o seek_v for_o he_o above_o and_o although_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o doubt_v we_o not_o but_o that_o he_o be_v with_o

to_o jesus_n christ_n no_o doubt_n of_o it_o there_o be_v many_o which_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n

so_o that_o when_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n shall_v be_v deliver_v we_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o seek_v for_o all_o our_o felicity_n in_o jesus_n christ_n live_v in_o brotherly_a love_n together_o

whatsoever_o our_o mind_n say_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o gross_a understanding_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o scarce_o

to_o consider_v because_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a number_n and_o almost_o all_o man_n do_v flatter_v themselves_o for_o they_o think_v that_o if_o they_o have_v in_o word_n acknowledge_v their_o

they_o think_v they_o be_v offer_v great_a wrong_n what_o say_v they_o have_v i_o not_o confess_v my_o fault_n and_o have_v i_o not_o repent_v i_o and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o reckon_n that_o they_o make_v of_o it_o as_o if_o god_n be_v a_o young_a child_n who_o will_v be_v appease_v with_o a_o smile_a &_o dissemble_a countenance_n full_a of_o lease_v &_o hipocrysy_a howbeit_o this_o be_v our_o

&_o forsake_v not_o his_o judgement_n yea_o see_v he_o receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n which_o he_o will_v do_v whenas_o we_o shall_v condemn_v ourselves_o for_o whsoever_o shall_v be_v his_o own_o

the_o priest_n may_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_fw-it without_o excuse_n the_o evangelist_n likewise_o make_v this_o recital_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o behold_v how_o satan_n have_v blind_v all_o these_o reprobate_n and_o that_o every_o of_o we_o may_v look_v narow_o into_o himself_o and_o when_o god_n set_v before_o we_o such_o exampel_v of_o his_o ire_n &_o vengeance_n and_o to_o be_v

god_n shall_v in_o the_o end_n fall_v into_o such_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v clean_o without_o all_o reason_n for_o after_o they_o have_v once_o so_o exceed_v against_o

shall_v be_v so_o know_v as_o that_o every_o man_n may_v abhor_v their_o villainy_n here_o than_o we_o see_v why_o the_o evangelist_n make_v this_o recital_n that_o when_o judas_n come_v to_o restore_v the_o silver_n the_o priest_n be_v no_o whit_n move_v therewith_o indeed_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o put_v it_o into_o the_o treasury_n because_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o blood_n and_o here_o also_o we_o may_v see_v that_o hypocrite_n will_v always_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v some_o fine_a shiftte_n or_o other_o to_o shadow_n and_o cover_v their_o iniquity_n but_o it_o be_v all_o to_o mock_v god_n for_o they_o never_o come_v perfect_o and_o sound_o unto_o he_o for_o what_o be_v this_o to_o say_v ho_o sure_o we_o will_v never_o put_v this_o silver_n among_o the_o holy_a offering_n because_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o blood_n now_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o from_o whence_o come_v this_o silver_n true_o we_o know_v this_o that_z the_o priest_n live_v upon_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o temple_n as_o at_o this_o day_n they_o which_o in_o popery_n be_v call_v prelate_n and_o churchman_n glottonous_o consume_v the_o
offering_n and_o never_o care_v to_o what_o use_n they_o put_v they_o but_o although_o the_o priest_n take_v from_o the_o oblation_n of_o the_o temple_n the_o silver_n which_o they_o give_v to_o judas_n they_o never_o care_v nor_o yet_o respect_v it_o &_o now_o they_o make_v a_o doubt_n to_o put_v that_o silver_n again_o into_o the_o treasury_n but_o by_o your_o leave_n they_o thrust_v back_o judas_n as_o it_o be_v after_o a_o scoff_a manner_n &_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v have_v say_v now_o sir_n this_o villain_n have_v betray_v his_o master_n &_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n to_o we_o whether_o he_o have_v do_v well_o or_o ill_a nevertheless_o because_o we_o for_o our_o part_n will_v not_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o offence_n and_o make_v clean_a hand_n of_o it_o because_o they_o have_v bestow_v this_o money_n to_o such_o a_o use_n we_o will_v buy_v a_o field_n with_o it_o to_o bury_v stranger_n in_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v that_o they_o have_v satisfy_v god_n well_o enough_o &_o that_o he_o can_v desire_v no_o more_o at_o their_o hand_n although_o they_o have_v offend_v in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o hypocrite_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v wherewith_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n and_o so_o think_v by_o this_o mean_a to_o buy_v out_o themselves_o howbeit_o these_o be_v but_o childish_a toy_n nevertheless_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o this_o thing_n be_v set_v down_o unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o when_o we_o have_v fall_v we_o shall_v acknowledge_v our_o fault_n indeed_o and_o not_o go_v about_o the_o bush_n this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n but_o whole_o and_o free_o condemn_v ourselves_o &_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v here_o show_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o take_v away_o the_o wymple_n wherewith_o satan_n go_v about_o to_o blindfold_a we_o that_o we_o stand_v not_o stiff_o in_o our_o flattery_n thereby_o to_o excuse_v our_o naughtiness_n and_o let_v we_o more_o and_o more_o make_v a_o good_a trial_n to_o condemn_v all_o our_o sin_n &_o confess_v they_o true_o moreover_o we_o see_v also_o how_o god_n overthrow_v the_o opinion_n of_o hypocrite_n so_o that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o be_v clean_o put_v by_o their_o pretend_a purpose_n for_o the_o priest_n will_v glad_o have_v blot_v out_o their_o offence_n that_o it_o may_v never_o have_v come_v in_o question_n again_o and_o this_o be_v their_o pretence_n whenas_o they_o buy_v a_o field_n to_o bury_v stranger_n in_o but_o god_n turn_v all_o quite_o and_o clean_o against_o their_o meaning_n for_o the_o field_n be_v to_o be_v call_v the_o bloody_a &_o murder_a field_n everlasting_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n so_o that_o this_o detestable_a fault_n which_o the_o priest_n commit_v may_v be_v daily_o make_v know_v and_o manifest_v that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v this_o be_v the_o bloody_a field_n which_o be_v buy_v with_o the_o price_n of_o treason_n and_o who_o be_v they_o that_o do_v it_o forsooth_o even_o the_o priest_n and_o head_n of_o the_o people_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o when_o hypocrite_n go_v about_o to_o hide_v and_o muffle_v their_o misdeed_n than_o god_n so_o much_o the_o more_o discover_v their_o villainy_n and_o cause_v all_o man_n to_o know_v and_o abhor_v their_o detestable_a shamlesnesse_n and_o here_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o have_v say_v that_o we_o ought_v so_o much_o the_o more_o advisedlye_o to_o come_v unto_o god_n &_o lay_v open_a our_o sin_n which_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o bury_v they_o even_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o himself_o of_o his_o angel_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n whenas_o we_o for_o our_o part_n have_v thus_o acknowledge_v they_o and_o in_o the_o end_n the_o evangelist_n allege_v one_o place_n out_o of_o the_o prophet_n to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v not_o only_o recite_v because_o of_o judas_n sin_n &_o of_o the_o devilish_a

by_o degree_n until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v thorough_o confirm_v whereof_o we_o have_v great_a need_n now_o this_o be_v sufficient_a enough_o that_o the_o woman_n have_v hard_o the_o message_n

more_o full_o ratify_v the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v before_o hear_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o may_v increase_v in_o faith_n for_o at_o the_o

have_v be_v already_o speak_v of_o go_v &_o tell_v my_o brethren_n that_o they_o meet_v all_o together_o in_o galilee_n we_o see_v then_o here_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n appear_v not_o to_o

and_o be_v bear_v in_o a_o stable_a lead_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n like_o a_o miserable_a poor_a handicrafte_n man_n and_o at_o last_o we_o see_v that_o all_o man_n set_v themselves_o against_o he_o and_o so_o rage_v as_o that_o they_o detest_v and_o hate_v he_o and_o to_o make_v few_o word_n and_o well_o crucify_v he_o now_o this_o be_v a_o death_n which_o god_n curse_v and_o he_o be_v not_o only_o disfigure_v with_o buffet_v spit_v on_o &_o crown_v with_o thorn_n but_o also_o be_v accurse_v be_v hang_v between_o two_o thief_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v the_o most_o horrible_a

which_o be_v the_o very_a mean_a why_o he_o become_v a_o stumble_a block_n unto_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n namely_o say_v that_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v the_o gospel_n because_o the_o world_n can_v not_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o reasonable_a thing_n neither_o yet_o allow_v that_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n the_o very_a glory_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v

of_o the_o prophet_n now_o it_o be_v hereupon_o say_v notwithstanding_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v exalt_v although_o at_o the_o first_o there_o be_v no_o show_n of_o it_o yet_o god_n will_v increase_v he_o and_o they_o shall_v see_v say_v he_o even_o before_o their_o face_n that_o although_o he_o be_v miserable_a and_o bare_a &_o a_o poor_a twig_n yet_o that_o this_o be_v no_o let_n unto_o his_o

may_v take_v away_o our_o conceive_a offence_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o overthwartnes_n of_o our_o understanding_n wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v not_o refuse_v to_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o see_v he_o thus_o disfigure_v the_o prophet_n show_v we_o the_o cause_n why_o for_o to_o say_v true_o if_o we_o come_v once_o to_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o forthwith_o conceive_v of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o the_o same_o then_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n &_o desire_v he_o to_o help_v we_o &_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o earnest_a to_o receive_v his_o death_n and_o passion_n for_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v the_o most_o necessary_a remedy_n that_o may_v be_v for_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o we_o thus_o in_o sum_n we_o see_v here_o the_o proceed_v of_o the_o prophet_n now_o when_o he_o make_v comparison_n between_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o a_o small_a twig_n or_o branch_n &_o a_o root_n in_o a_o dry_a and_o barren_a ground_n it_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o beginning_n shall_v be_v base_a &_o of_o no_o valour_n so_o that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v scoff_n &_o

and_o therefore_o because_o the_o kingly_a house_n be_v then_o base_a and_o of_o no_o honour_n he_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v as_o sometime_o it_o have_v be_v that_o isai_n be_v a_o country_n man_n &_o his_o child_n neat_a herd_n &_o shepherd_n this_o house_n in_o those_o day_n be_v nothing_o and_o of_o no_o reputation_n and_o beside_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o body_n of_o a_o tree_n lie_v on_o the_o ground_n which_o man_n troode_n upon_o and_o of_o no_o estimation_n jesus_n christ_n then_o be_v like_a unto_o a_o silly_a twig_n or_o branch_n but_o it_o be_v say_v soon_o after_o that_o he_o shall_v so_o wonderful_o grow_v as_o that_o he_o shall_v overshadowe_v the_o whole_a world_n here_o the_o prophet_n also_o show_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v thus_o contemptible_a at_o the_o first_o for_o if_o this_o have_v not_o be_v namely_o declare_v they_o may_v very_o well_o have_v be_v offend_v whenas_o they_o see_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o

although_o he_o hold_v the_o sun_n &_o moon_n and_o now_o behold_v that_o this_o princely_a house_n be_v as_o it_o be_v raze_v &_o utter_o deface_v &_o who_o will_v think_v that_o the_o promise_n

to_o wit_n jesus_n christ_n neither_o must_v we_o be_v abash_v as_o at_o a_o strange_a &_o unknown_a thing_n although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o in_o so_o base_a a_o state_n

that_o god_n will_v raise_v this_o seat_n 15.16_o amos._n 9.11_o acts._n 15.16_o which_o before_o be_v overthrow_v and_o this_o place_n be_v also_o set_v down_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n

there_o shall_v be_v no_o mean_n here_o on_o earth_n to_o make_v he_o flourish_v but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v increase_v from_o heaven_n &_o that_o by_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n his_o

to_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o deed_n this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v but_o a_o poor_a twig_n whenas_o he_o can_v not_o get_v a_o place_n to_o be_v lodge_v

be_v justify_v neither_o yet_o shall_v any_o atonement_n have_v be_v make_v between_o god_n &_o we_o to_o wit_n if_o jesus_n have_v not_o repare_v our_o transgression_n through_o his_o obedience_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v be_v constrain_v and_o that_o he_o have_v not_o submit_v himself_o willing_o it_o have_v not_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o have_v

of_o god_n let_v every_o man_n consider_v with_o himself_o how_o many_o sundry_a way_n he_o have_v withstand_v the_o will_n &_o justice_n of_o god_n sure_o if_o we_o do_v so_o we_o shall_v find_v

the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o dumb_a man_n and_o compare_v he_o unto_o a_o sheep_n or_o unto_o a_o lamb_n have_v regard_n unto_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o ancient_a sacrifice_n for_o when_o we_o here_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v of_o we_o must_v take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n wherewith_o god_n the_o father_n be_v appeal_v because_o

a_o heathen_a idolater_n and_o rob_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o so_o proper_o belong_v unto_o he_o as_o that_o when_o isaiah_n have_v fasten_v this_o as_o it_o be_v

wherefore_o we_o be_v here_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o note_v that_o when_o the_o prophet_n bring_v we_o back_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v ashamed_a of_o ourselves_o and_o beside_o that_o we_o may_v magnify_v the_o inestimable_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n because_o he_o will_v have_v his_o only_a son_n to_o become_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o refuse_v it_o not_o but_o as_o one_o forget_v himself_o have_v such_o care_n of_o

of_o this_o point_n that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o mean_a for_o we_o to_o be_v discharge_v before_o god_n but_o to_o set_v before_o we_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v offer_v up_o for_o we_o once_o for_o all_o indeed_o this_o be_v very_o true_a that_o the_o world_n always_o have_v a_o meaning_n to_o devise_v some_o one_o thing_n or_o a_o other_o i_o know_v not_o what_o wherewith_o to_o pay_v god_n as_o have_v heretofore_o be_v say_v and_o for_o example_n we_o see_v what_o store_n of_o pretty_a fond_a trifle_a babble_n many_o papist_n use_v wherewith_o to_o

before_o he_o and_o hereupon_o we_o see_v from_o whence_o come_v the_o foundation_n of_o purgatory_n for_o because_o we_o can_v while_o we_o live_v here_o make_v satisfaction_n but_o that_o there_o must_v remain_v always_o some_o remnant_n and_o arrearage_n we_o must_v therefore_o say_v they_o bear_v the_o punishment_n out_o of_o this_o world_n &_o that_o be_v it_o that_o must_v pay_v god_n loe_o here_o how_o the_o miserable_a world_n have_v be_v deceive_v and_o blin_o lead_v with_o the_o leasinge_n and_o dote_a dream_n of_o
servant_n we_o have_v before_o see_v that_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n derogatory_n from_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o although_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o all_o creature_n yet_o obtain_v he_o a_o new_a government_n in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o in_o our_o nature_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o philippian_n and_o as_o we_o have_v also_o see_v partly_o heretofore_o 2.9_o phil._n 2.9_o for_o it_o be_v his_o meaning_n to_o become_v a_o servant_n and_o to_o humble_v himself_o under_o that_o state_n and_o condition_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n now_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n unto_o we_o but_o this_o shall_v be_v much_o more_o strange_a unto_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n 17.9_o john_n 17.9_o and_o coequal_a with_o god_n his_o father_n in_o glory_n shall_v become_v a_o servant_n to_o man_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n after_o saint_n john_n and_o so_o abase_v himself_o under_o this_o condition_n 20.28_o mat._n 20.28_o as_o that_o he_o will_v serve_v we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v so_o in_o deed_n mark_v also_o why_o he_o say_v i_o be_v conversaunt_a among_o you_o as_o a_o servant_n and_o not_o as_o a_o master_n now_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o jesus_n christ_n become_v so_o humble_a as_o to_o make_v himself_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o then_o that_o he_o be_v here_o call_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o have_v redeem_v us._n i_o speak_v now_o in_o respect_n that_o god_n his_o father_n have_v so_o decree_v it_o as_o we_o have_v already_o heretofore_o say_v for_o i_o know_v that_o god_n can_v if_o it_o have_v please_v he_o have_v save_v we_o without_o any_o mean_a but_o we_o be_v always_o to_o presuppose_v that_o it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n which_o must_v purchase_v life_n for_o us._n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o bring_n of_o this_o matter_n to_o pass_v it_o be_v eftsoon_o meet_a that_o he_o shall_v become_v a_o servant_n because_o he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o have_v yield_v his_o obedience_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n and_o without_o this_o obedience_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o have_v repair_v our_o transgression_n and_o iniquity_n thus_o than_o we_o see_v why_o he_o be_v call_v a_o righteous_a servant_n to_o be_v short_a the_o prophet_n do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o because_o we_o be_v and_o yet_o be_v rebel_n to_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v reform_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o again_o although_o after_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o touch_n of_o a_o good_a mind_n yet_o be_v we_o

he_o yet_o may_v it_o be_v very_o well_o amend_v yea_o &_o worthy_a to_o be_v reject_v and_o therefore_o for_o the_o blot_n out_o of_o our_o offence_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o the_o service_n and_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v please_v god_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v also_o carry_v with_o it_o a_o right_n and_o full_a satisfaction_n this_o then_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o meaning_n and_o hereupon_o we_o be_v to_o gather_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o justify_v we_o in_o that_o he_o be_v god_n but_o through_o the_o power_n of_o his_o

a_o burden_n as_o will_v have_v press_v we_o all_o down_o and_o have_v break_v our_o neck_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forsake_v himself_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o become_v obedient_a unto_o god_n his_o father_n we_o see_v in_o what_o sort_n he_o have_v justify_v us._n now_o he_o speak_v also_o namely_o of_o his_o knowledge_n mean_v thereby_o to_o express_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n perform_v in_o his_o own_o person_n all_o whatsoever_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o that_o we_o also_o shall_v take_v fast_o hold_v thereof_o by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o knowledge_n be_v very_o requisite_a for_o how_o many_o incredulous_a or_o unbeléeving_a person_n do_v we_o see_v perish_v unto_o who_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n serve_v to_o none_o other_o purpose_n save_v only_o for_o their_o great_a condemnation_n because_o they_o tread_v his_o most_o

or_o sting_v of_o the_o serpent_n be_v always_o deadly_a even_o so_o at_o this_o day_n be_v the_o gospel_n unto_o we_o as_o a_o scaffolde_n whereon_o to_o set_v up_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o else_o like_o a_o banner_n to_o represent_v he_o unto_o our_o eye_n 4.1_o 3._o cor._n 4.1_o that_o we_o may_v see_v he_o a_o great_a way_n of_o to_o be_v short_a the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v be_v not_o dark_a for_o we_o may_v in_o it_o behold_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o else_o the_o devil_n have_v blindfolded_a our_o eye_n but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v we_o be_v thorough_o to_o consider_v of_o that_o which_o be_v here_o speak_v that_o jesus_n christ_n justifi_v not_o but_o by_o his_o knowledge_n in_o deed_n it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o our_o salvation_n must_v come_v from_o thence_o for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n this_o be_v not_o to_o exclude_v jesus_n christ_n neither_o yet_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o to_o lead_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o unto_o they_o but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o easely_o come_v to_o the_o understanding_n hereof_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o we_o be_v not_o righteous_a of_o ourselves_o since_o we_o must_v borrow_v it_o of_o some_o other_o for_o if_o we_o be_v able_a so_o to_o rule_v and_o order_v our_o life_n that_o it_o may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o answerable_a unto_o the_o law_n and_o will_v of_o god_n then_o in_o deed_n we_o deserve_v that_o he_o shall_v accept_v us._n and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o because_o he_o be_v to_o allow_v of_o the_o good_a since_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n thereof_o for_o else_o he_o shall_v deny_v himself_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v frame_v our_o life_n to_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o he_o require_v we_o shall_v then_o without_o doubt_n be_v justify_v by_o our_o work_v and_o jesus_n christ_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v shall_v profit_v we_o nothing_o 5.4_o collos_n 5.4_o but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o be_v drive_v to_o borrow_v our_o righteousness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o seek_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v as_o bare_a of_o it_o as_o we_o say_v as_o my_o nail_n wherefore_o let_v we_o thus_o conclude_v that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v condemn_v of_o sin_n and_o god_n show_v we_o that_o we_o be_v all_o accurse_a when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o point_n now_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n the_o ancient_a philosopher_n speak_v thus_o much_o of_o virtue_n and_o this_o have_v be_v always_o a_o common_a opinion_n that_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o we_o for_o our_o good_a life_n and_o conversation_n but_o what_o be_v we_o the_o better_a for_o all_o this_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o

speak_v of_o those_o who_o be_v think_v of_o all_o other_o to_o be_v the_o most_o able_a and_o renown_a people_n
the_o person_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o that_o he_o be_v clothe_v with_o our_o nature_n &_o be_v become_v our_o brother_n &_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a importance_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o divine_a essence_n or_o nature_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v far_o of_o from_o his_o righteousness_n and_o we_o be_v never_o

familiar_o we_o may_v come_v unto_o he_o consider_v also_o why_o satan_n will_v so_o fain_o confound_v this_o doctrine_n and_o there_o be_v likewise_o some_o fantastical_a spirit_n which_o fond_o

that_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o fainthearted_a &_o to_o make_v we_o also_o vanish_v away_o before_o we_o come_v at_o he_o but_o contrariwise_o as_o he_o be_v a_o mortal_a man_n he_o call_v we_o unto_o himself_o and_o make_v himself_o a_o mediator_n because_o we_o may_v seek_v for_o our_o righteousness_n therein_o and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n worthy_a the_o observation_n &_o beside_o let_v we_o always_o come_v unto_o this_o knowledge_n and_o because_o the_o faithless_a shut_v the_o gate_n upon_o themselves_o and_o so_o spoil_v themselves_o of_o the_o benefit_n which_o they_o shall_v

5.10_o 2._o cor._n 5.10_o the_o one_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v for_o we_o in_o his_o own_o person_n the_o other_o be_v that_o which_o we_o daily_o obtain_v

his_o foot_n so_o that_o we_o make_v account_n of_o the_o benefit_n which_o he_o offer_v us._n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o esteem_v of_o the_o gospel_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o heretofore_o we_o have_v do_v and_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n too_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o we_o be_v

we_o have_v no_o more_o hope_n then_o very_a beast_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o our_o hope_n be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n indeed_o which_o he_o have_v get_v yea_o even_o to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o life_n and_o death_n 4.15_o rom._n 4.15_o saint_n paul_n also_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o if_o he_o have_v remain_v dead_a still_o what_o hope_n may_v we_o have_v have_v by_o he_o but_o behold_v he_o rise_v again_o &_o that_o be_v the_o triumph_n which_o he_o have_v over_o death_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v believe_v in_o he_o saint_n peter_n likewise_o to_o show_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 3.21_o 1._o peter_n 3.21_o bring_v for_o proof_n hereof_o none_o other_o thing_n but_o his_o resurrection_n let_v we_o therefore_o observe_v that_o when_o saint_n luke_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n show_v himself_o alive_a he_o speak_v of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o assurance_n of_o our_o salvation_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o principal_a point_n of_o christianity_n we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o

saint_n luke_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v we_o such_o proof_n of_o his_o resurrection_n let_v we_o not_o call_v that_o thing_n into_o question_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v so_o well_o approve_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v not_o at_o this_o day_n full_o persuade_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v again_o let_v we_o thank_v our_o own_o unthankfulness_n saint_n luke_n also_o use_v a_o kind_n of_o speech_n which_o a_o fourd_v a_o argument_n that_o bring_v with_o it_o a_o present_a proof_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v what_o pain_n the_o evangelist_n have_v take_v in_o this_o matter_n for_o when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n they_o lay_v forth_o all_o the_o circumstance_n and_o beside_o they_o recyte_v all_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o word_n for_o he_o have_v say_v and_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v no_o vain_a imagination_n or_o vision_n whereby_o some_o trouble_n may_v afterward_o arise_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o understande_v and_o know_v that_o since_o they_o have_v take_v so_o great_a pain_n herein_o that_o we_o must_v not_o stand_v in_o doubt_n of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v fit_a we_o shall_v receive_v their_o

until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v whole_o unite_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o deed_n we_o know_v that_o although_o god_n enlighten_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o we_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n and_o acknowledge_v his_o goodness_n whereunto_o we_o trust_v yet_o be_v our_o infirmity_n so_o many_o as_o be_v lamentable_a and_o we_o be_v to_o fight_v against_o a_o number_n of_o temptation_n wherewith_o we_o be_v oftentimes_o overcome_v what_o shall_v become_v then_o of_o all_o this_o gear_n be_v it_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v enter_v no_o no_o but_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o our_o life_n be_v a_o way_n and_o we_o must_v still_o be_v go_v on_o until_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o must_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n more_o and_o more_o increase_n until_o we_o be_v quite_o rydde_v of_o sin_n for_o we_o daily_o have_v experience_n enough_o hereof_o although_o we_o be_v a_o great_a way_n of_o from_o be_v unite_v to_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v wherefore_o this_o be_v a_o token_n that_o god_n reign_v not_o in_o we_o as_o he_o shall_v for_o if_o he_o do_v all_o our_o power_n and_o force_n will_v bend_v itself_o that_o way_n contrariwise_o we_o feel_v even_o as_o great_a rebellion_n as_o may_v be_v when_o as_o we_o will_v go_v about_o to_o do_v that_o which_o god_n teach_v us._n see_v then_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n stand_v against_o god_n and_o his_o justice_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o rule_v not_o we_o peaceable_o for_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v even_o without_o our_o belly_n as_o we_o say_v shall_v go_v that_o way_n that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n may_v appear_v and_o shine_v throughout_o contrariwise_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o even_o from_o the_o top_n to_o the_o toe_n but_o horrible_a rebellion_n 15.18_o â—_o cor._n 15.18_o and_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o accomplish_v wherefore_o we_o be_v admonish_v to_o go_v on_o until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o wit_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o full_a of_o he_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v empty_a of_o ourselves_o namely_o we_o shall_v be_v unclothe_v of_o this_o body_n &_o be_v raise_v up_o into_o that_o glory_n which_o be_v promise_v us._n the_o speech_n then_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v with_o his_o apostle_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n tend_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v forsake_v ourselves_o and_o overthrow_v whatsoever_o be_v we_o and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n may_v set_v up_o his_o throne_n and_o guide_v we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v altogether_o agreeable_a unto_o his_o righteousness_n &_o seek_v only_o to_o follow_v he_o as_o our_o sovereign_a and_o liege_n lord_n &_o

a_o note_n unto_o we_o that_o whensoever_o the_o gospel_n be_v deliver_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o leave_v this_o world_n to_o wit_n all_o the_o wicked_a affection_n and_o vanity_n that_o be_v in_o we_o which_o keep_v we_o back_o here_o below_o for_o we_o must_v be_v whole_o change_v &_o god_n must_v give_v we_o a_o new_a life_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o it_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n must_v do_v good_a to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v indeed_o the_o very_a kingdom_n of_o god_n &_o bear_v such_o authority_n with_o we_o as_o be_v meet_v and_o by_o the_o way_n god_n call_v we_o not_o unto_o he_o mean_v to_o keep_v we_o always_o in_o one_o state_n but_o will_v continual_o prick_v we_o on_o until_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o to_o perfection_n make_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o this_o present_a life_n be_v like_o a_o sea_n full_a of_o all_o misery_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o jesus_n christ_n bend_v himself_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n after_o we_o be_v once_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o forbid_v they_o go_v from_o jerusalem_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o all_o this_o be_v speak_v for_o the_o build_n up_o of_o our_o faith_n for_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o be_v assure_v and_o resolve_v of_o this_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o man_n devise_v not_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o god_n send_v it_o from_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n what_o will_v then_o become_v of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o thorough_o declare_v and_o verify_v unto_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n in_o such_o sort_n send_v his_o apostle_n and_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o their_o own_o motion_n counsel_n or_o will_v but_o send_v by_o god_n who_o teach_v they_o their_o lesson_n and_o understand_v not_o of_o their_o own_o wit_n this_o doctrine_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n luke_n be_v here_o to_o be_v well_o mark_v that_o he_o handle_v this_o doctrine_n oftentimes_o among_o they_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v the_o better_o instruct_v therein_o and_o not_o run_v at_o random_n over_o and_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o may_v be_v quite_o void_a of_o all_o worldly_a wisdom_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o their_o doctrine_n be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n let_v we_o therefore_o mark_v this_o well_o that_o our_o faith_n may_v always_o cleave_v unto_o god_n as_o a_o fast_a anchor_n hold_v for_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o in_o the_o creature_n but_o shall_v flit_v away_o like_o water_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a foundation_n to_o build_v our_o faith_n on_o they_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v build_v it_o upon_o god_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o réele_v this_o way_n and_o that_o but_o shall_v stand_v fast_o and_o sure_a and_o here_o we_o see_v why_o the_o apostle_n be_v forbid_v to_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n until_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o by_o this_o we_o see_v their_o obedience_n for_o in_o man_n reason_n they_o may_v have_v somewhat_o reply_v and_o say_v what_o be_v not_o we_o the_o apostle_n of_o god_n have_v not_o we_o authority_n to_o preach_v his_o word_n be_v not_o we_o able_a to_o execute_v our_o charge_n they_o have_v some_o show_n why_o they_o may_v thus_o have_v say_v for_o to_o what_o purpose_n have_v god_n justify_v they_o in_o this_o charge_n without_o they_o may_v do_v it_o but_o they_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o they_o must_v obey_v for_o curse_a be_v that_o man_n who_o trust_v in_o himself_o to_o do_v any_o work_n before_o god_n put_v he_o forward_o to_o do_v it_o and_o contrariwise_o when_o god_n send_v he_o he_o must_v not_o strive_v against_o it_o but_o say_v loe_o here_o be_o i_o lord_n employ_v i_o as_o please_v thou_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o saint_n luke_n show_v that_o the_o apostle_n obey_v jesus_n christ_n when_o as_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v perform_v his_o promise_n unto_o they_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v already_o wrought_v in_o they_o for_o not_o long_o before_o they_o be_v clean_o out_o of_o the_o way_n they_o have_v forsake_v their_o master_n they_o know_v nothing_o what_o the_o assistance_n &_o safeguard_n of_o god_n mean_v and_o suffer_v satan_n to_o disperse_v they_o abroad_o but_o what_o when_o as_o god_n have_v once_o grant_v they_o the_o grace_n to_o understande_v his_o voice_n and_o meaning_n he_o need_v not_o but_o to_o have_v beckon_v his_o finger_n and_o they_o will_v have_v obey_v he_o and_o if_o he_o have_v forbid_v they_o any_o thing_n they_o will_v not_o have_v attempt_v it_o but_o contrariwise_o when_o he_o command_v they_o to_o go_v neither_o fire_n nor_o water_n can_v stay_v they_o thus_o than_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v god_n which_o must_v work_v in_o we_o to_o bring_v we_o unto_o such_o a_o subjection_n for_o else_o when_o he_o will_v say_v retire_v we_o will_v go_v on_o and_o when_o he_o will_v bid_v we_o march_v on_o 40._o num._n 14.3_o 40._o we_o will_v go_v back_o now_o here_o we_o see_v what_o our_o nature_n be_v and_o this_o notable_a mirror_n have_v we_o even_o in_o the_o jew_n for_o if_o we_o read_v how_o they_o behave_v themselves_o after_o they_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o
egypt_n we_o shall_v there_o see_v their_o wonderful_a unthankfulness_n for_o when_o god_n command_v they_o to_o go_v against_o their_o enemy_n and_o promise_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v victory_n they_o will_v not_o go_v on_o but_o murmur_v against_o he_o why_o say_v they_o whether_o shall_v we_o go_v it_o shall_v seem_v that_o he_o go_v about_o to_o destroy_v we_o and_o to_o send_v we_o like_o sheep_n to_o the_o butchery_n loe_o such_o be_v their_o rebellion_n contrariwise_o when_o god_n say_v stir_v not_o they_o will_v needs_o march_v on_o and_o will_v not_o be_v stay_v what_o say_v they_o we_o loose_a time_n why_o march_v we_o not_o forward_o here_o we_o see_v how_o that_o we_o will_v march_v when_o god_n say_v we_o shall_v not_o again_o when_o he_o say_v march_v on_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v step_v one_o foot_n forward_o to_o be_v short_a it_o seem_v we_o will_v endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o gainsay_v god_n loe_o here_o our_o deal_n sure_o we_o be_v much_o of_o the_o boldness_n of_o mad_a man_n for_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o a_o mad_a man_n will_v be_v strong_a enough_o both_o to_o kill_v himself_o and_o other_o for_o when_o god_n will_v retire_v we_o we_o be_v mad_a and_o will_v make_v havoc_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o again_o when_o god_n will_v have_v we_o march_v on_o we_o be_v so_o slack_a as_o that_o every_o finger_n be_v a_o thumb_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o grant_v unto_o we_o the_o like_a grace_n that_o he_o give_v unto_o his_o apostle_n that_o we_o stay_v when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o stay_v and_o march_v on_o when_o he_o bid_v us._n thus_o we_o see_v why_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o every_o one_o his_o several_a office_n and_o charge_n when_o he_o ordain_v household_n he_o declare_v what_o authority_n the_o man_n shall_v have_v over_o his_o wife_n and_o family_n and_o what_o the_o woman_n obedience_n be_v unto_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o child_n to_o the_o parent_n so_o he_o ordain_v a_o law_n for_o every_o one_o and_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o effect_n be_v his_o ordinance_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o civil_a government_n for_o he_o declare_v unto_o magistrate_n what_o their_o duty_n be_v and_o how_o they_o ought_v to_o use_v the_o authority_n commit_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o word_n likewise_o he_o set_v down_o a_o lesson_n in_o writing_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v so_o well_o order_v we_o 14.25_o rom._n 14.25_o as_o that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o regard_n unto_o he_o we_o will_v attempt_v nothing_o which_o he_o command_v we_o not_o we_o see_v also_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n now_o if_o god_n leave_v we_o in_o doubt_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v we_o can_v but_o continual_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v set_v down_o a_o rule_n unto_o we_o what_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o what_o we_o shall_v not_o do_v wherefore_o let_v we_o look_v well_o that_o we_o be_v rule_v by_o he_o and_o attempt_v nothing_o on_o our_o own_o foolish_a brain_n moreover_o we_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n

that_o he_o have_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n give_v commandment_n to_o his_o apostle_n who_o he_o have_v choose_v and_o he_o go_v not_o thus_o away_o without_o think_v of_o us._n how_o then_o

here_o a_o pledge_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o want_v his_o help_n so_o that_o we_o stick_v unto_o he_o moreover_o this_o be_v one_o notable_a comfort_n for_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v

else_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o every_o thing_n will_v make_v we_o quail_v because_o we_o be_v as_o frail_a as_o be_v possible_a contrariwise_o we_o see_v how_o the_o devil_n be_v arm_v at_o

that_o although_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v far_o from_o we_o yet_o be_v we_o near_o he_o through_o his_o power_n and_o might_n which_o thing_n he_o show_v we_o in_o the_o

it_o be_v true_a it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o make_v enquiry_n after_o these_o thing_n no_o not_o so_o for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n

for_o to_o learn_v and_o over_o and_o beside_o all_o this_o let_v we_o not_o be_v too_o too_o inquisitive_a and_o say_v why_o be_v this_o and_o wherefore_o be_v that_o but_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o such_o curiousness_n as_o of_o a_o deadly_a plague_n now_o this_o can_v no_o man_n do_v without_o every_o of_o we_o violent_o strive_v against_o his_o own_o nature_n for_o we_o be_v natural_o
