we_o see_v then_o how_o we_o be_v to_o put_v this_o place_n in_o practice_n now_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v verify_v this_o when_o he_o pray_v for_o his_o as_o appear_v

and_o end_v they_o in_o his_o own_o person_n that_o be_v he_o have_v offer_v up_o blood_n for_o the_o wash_n away_o of_o our_o sin_n not_o the_o blood_n of_o calf_n 9.14_o hebr._n 9.14_o and_o sheep_n

and_o when_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o prayer_n he_o say_v 2.5_o 1._o tim._n 2.5_o that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o mediator_n even_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n he_o may_v very_o well_o

that_o their_o prayer_n be_v besprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v pure_a and_o clean_a and_o that_o god_n may_v receive_v they_o as_o a_o sweet_a

come_v to_o pass_v in_o so_o many_o villainy_n &_o superstition_n for_o we_o see_v how_o the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n wander_v about_o like_o miserable_a stray_n beast_n not_o know_v which_o way_n

only_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n unto_o our_o god_n who_o therewith_o be_v well_o please_v through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o although_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n

do_v all_o the_o world_n through_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n shall_v universal_o be_v worship_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o the_o pope_n with_o all_o his_o college_n of_o cardinal_n and_o all_o other_o his_o dear_a friend_n the_o romanistes_n will_v conclude_v upon_o this_o place_n that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v sacrifice_n have_v and_o therefore_o when_o they_o will_v have_v their_o

that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o yet_o appear_v nor_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v yet_o come_v nevertheless_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o see_v the_o prophet_n have_v thus_o say_v it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o show_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v universal_o worship_v in_o spirit_n &_o truth_n and_o not_o in_o figure_n moreover_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o say_n of_o prophecy_n be_v not_o mean_v by_o the_o prophet_n to_o tell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o in_o the_o old_a time_n it_o be_v take_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v have_v

we_o be_v now_o therefore_o brief_o to_o conclude_v upon_o all_o thing_n that_o as_o our_o lord_n in_o send_v jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o make_v unto_o we_o a_o more_o

because_o it_o be_v he_o which_o sanctifi_v and_o make_v we_o holy_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o then_o until_o such_o time_n we_o be_v as_o call_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a

unto_o all_o but_o we_o be_v so_o accurse_v as_o that_o we_o forsake_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o will_v bestow_v upon_o us._n and_o herein_o be_v know_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o we_o ward_n

strange_a kind_n of_o excuse_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n so_o liberal_o deal_v as_o that_o he_o will_v neither_o exclude_v age_n nor_o sex_n from_o receive_v of_o the_o holy_a

that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v such_o slander_n and_o reproach_n that_o we_o may_v look_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o seek_v for_o our_o triumph_n and_o victory_n there_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v

if_o we_o shall_v desire_v it_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v too_o too_o faint_a heart_a wherefore_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_v that_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o

even_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o which_o cause_n let_v not_o we_o fear_v but_o that_o the_o glory_n which_o he_o will_v give_v we_o shall_v so_o terrify_v our_o enemy_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v our_o footstool_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o the_o scripture_n howbéet_fw-mi saint_n paul_n here_o namely_o set_v down_o who_o they_o be_v that_o must_v

that_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o be_v sanctify_v thus_o we_o see_v three_o point_n which_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o we_o foil_n and_o tumble_v ourselves_o in_o our_o filthiness_n and_o corruption_n we_o be_v quite_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o better_a for_o his_o come_n but_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o these_o word_n desire_v not_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 5._o amos._n 5._o for_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o day_n of_o terror_n and_o fear_n and_o not_o of_o health_n and_o joy_n for_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a number_n of_o hypocrite_n who_o cloak_v themselves_o with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o dear_a after_o the_o same_o very_a manner_n shall_v we_o see_v the_o most_o wicked_a at_o this_o day_n with_o open_a mouth_n and_o wide_a throat_n say_v what_o i_o beseech_v you_o good_a sir_n think_v you_o that_o we_o fear_v not_o god_n and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o be_v as_o good_a christian_n as_o the_o rest_n thus_o no_o doubt_n of_o it_o will_v they_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o man_n shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o wantonness_n and_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o as_o religious_a as_o dog_n and_o

their_o neighbour_n give_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o harm_n and_o outrage_n and_o full_a of_o all_o corruption_n so_o that_o whosoever_o give_v they_o most_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v no_o

also_o even_o in_o open_a sight_n and_o will_v keep_v open_a fair_a and_o market_n to_o utter_v all_o wickedness_n to_o be_v short_a they_o will_v show_v themselves_o extreme_a impudent_a

help_v they_o as_o if_o he_o be_v great_o behold_v unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o at_o this_o day_n even_o so_o the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n say_v what_o what_o kind_n of_o brag_n be_v these_o that_o you_o make_v of_o the_o lord_n come_v why_o think_v you_o to_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o his_o come_n no_o no_o but_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o terrible_a and_o a_o most_o fearful_a day_n to_o you_o and_o so_o according_a to_o my_o first_o say_n we_o have_v to_o note_v out_o of_o this_o place_n of_o

the_o first_o point_n but_o to_o the_o attain_n hereof_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o faith_n according_a to_o that_o which_o we_o have_v late_o say_v for_o to_o say_v true_o

the_o majesty_n of_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n cleanse_v we_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n as_o for_o the_o three_o point_n we_o be_v admonish_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o lively_a

for_o we_o to_o crave_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o let_v why_o a_o man_n who_o be_v sore_o grieve_v but_o that_o he_o may_v oftentimes_o return_v and_o pray_v unto_o

beside_o think_v not_o by_o our_o over_o much_o babble_n to_o have_v get_v any_o thing_n but_o be_v drive_v by_o a_o earnest_a affection_n then_o be_v our_o perseverance_n right_a after_o the_o

this_o to_o have_v god_n so_o to_o rule_v over_o we_o as_o that_o we_o agree_v with_o one_o accord_n to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o his_o good_a will_n and_o this_o i_o say_v be_v a_o necessary_a point_n for_o us._n for_o look_v upon_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n although_o all_o his_o affection_n be_v just_o holy_a and_o agree_v unto_o righteousness_n yet_o because_o he_o be_v a_o natural_a

mind_n to_o nothing_o whatsoever_o but_o that_o god_n be_v eft_o soon_o offend_v therewith_o since_o than_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o god_n so_o bridle_v ourselves_o as_o that_o none_o of_o we_o follow_v our_o own_o lust_n as_o we_o be_v wont_v but_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v great_o profit_v whenas_o we_o can_v subdue_v they_o to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v have_v mastery_n over_o we_o there_o be_v also_o a_o very_a notable_a say_n whenas_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n watch_n and_o pray_v that_o you_o enter_v not_o into_o temptation_n for_o although_o the_o spirit_n in_o deed_n be_v ready_a yet_o be_v the_o flesh_n weak_a he_o then_o here_o show_v that_o the_o principall_a spur_n to_o prick_v we_o on_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n be_v this_o that_o we_o must_v fight_v and_o that_o our_o enemy_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o very_o strong_a &_o we_o not_o able_a possible_o to_o resist_v they_o except_o our_o aid_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o god_n fight_v for_o us._n and_o this_o we_o know_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v assure_v of_o himself_o he_o desire_v to_o follow_v altogether_o his_o pleasure_n and_o to_o sleep_v at_o his_o ease_n for_o we_o be_v not_o willing_o careful_a nor_o studious_a except_o necessity_n drive_v we_o thereto_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o quiet_a but_o we_o think_v we_o shall_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n without_o we_o become_v as_o it_o be_v like_o bruit_n beast_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v even_o so_o as_o that_o necessity_n must_v drive_v we_o to_o be_v watchful_a wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o causeless_a that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o must_v abide_v many_o alarm_n for_o that_o which_o he_o once_o speak_v unto_o his_o diciple_n appertain_v unto_o we_o all_o in_o general_a because_o we_o must_v all_o our_o life_n long_o be_v continual_o ready_a to_o abide_v many_o temptation_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v our_o perpetual_a enemy_n if_o we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o there_o will_v be_v open_a war_n without_o end_n or_o

and_o by_o his_o craft_n will_v sudden_o be_v upon_o we_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n before_o we_o think_v on_o he_o and_o if_o there_o be_v none_o other_o thing_n in_o it_o but_o even_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n 12._o ephe._n 6._o 12._o it_o be_v sufficient_a enough_o to_o make_v we_o to_o be_v careful_a and_o to_o take_v heed_n for_o thus_o he_o say_v that_o our_o enemy_n be_v mighty_a which_o rule_n in_o the_o air_n over_o our_o head_n and_o we_o here_o like_v unto_o poor_a worm_n of_o the_o earth_n creep_v below_o saint_n peter_n also_o use_v the_o like_a reason_n 5.8_o 1._o pet._n 5.8_o and_o say_v that_o our_o enemy_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o roar_a lion_n which_o seek_v his_o play_n and_o never_o rest_v and_o here_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v in_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n say_v that_o we_o must_v stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n lest_o we_o enter_v into_o temptation_n moreover_o although_o we_o be_v wakeful_a and_o keep_v good_a watch_n yet_o can_v we_o not_o be_v so_o free_a but_o that_o the_o devil_n will_v lift_v himself_o up_o against_o we_o and_o assail_v we_o many_o and_o sundry_a way_n neither_o can_v we_o break_v his_o blow_n so_o far_o of_o but_o that_o before_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o fight_n we_o have_v need_n beware_v that_o we_o be_v not_o tempt_v over_o head_n and_o care_n as_o we_o say_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o although_o the_o faithful_a and_o child_n of_o god_n desire_v to_o be_v at_o rest_n yet_o must_v they_o not_o desire_v to_o be_v here_o at_o their_o ease_n but_o be_v content_v to_o have_v god_n to_o make_v perfect_a his_o power_n in_o their_o infirmity_n for_o saint_n paul_n also_o say_v that_o he_o must_v do_v the_o like_a 12.9_o â—_o cor._n 12.9_o and_o this_o be_v say_v i_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n even_o to_o fight_v in_o this_o world_n because_o they_o can_v serve_v god_n without_o some_o strive_n for_o although_o they_o be_v

that_o our_o faith_n shall_v continual_o overcome_v the_o world_n nevertheless_o the_o remedy_n be_v set_v before_o we_o which_o be_v we_o must_v fight_v true_a it_o be_v that_o satan_n will_v never_o leave_v to_o begin_v again_o to_o assail_v we_o but_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n on_o the_o otherside_n command_v we_o to_o watch_v moreover_o he_o show_v that_o they_o which_o presume_v upon_o their_o own_o strength_n that_o satan_n will_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n soon_o overthrow_v they_o then_o that_o they_o shall_v get_v any_o one_o mastery_n of_o he_o what_o be_v it_o then_o that_o we_o must_v do_v forsooth_o we_o must_v humble_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o and_o therefore_o must_v run_v unto_o our_o good_a god_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o our_o true_a

he_o can_v if_o it_o please_v he_o even_o with_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n overthrow_n whatsoever_o stand_v against_o he_o by_o this_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v to_o fear_v the_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o although_o he_o be_v not_o here_o conversant_a among_o we_o after_o a_o visible_a sort_n nevertheless_o since_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v by_o his_o authority_n &_o that_o he_o say_v he_o that_o hear_v you_o 8.16_o luk._n 8.16_o hear_v i_o let_v we_o learn_v most_o reverent_o to_o receive_v whatsoever_o be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n &_o submit_v ourselves_o

wherefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n his_o father_n send_v he_o unto_o we_o and_o so_o let_v we_o understand_v by_o this_o say_n i_o be_o he_o that_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v our_o lord_n jesus_n

a_o lightning_n to_o throw_v we_o all_o down_o headlong_o into_o the_o pit_n of_o hell_n and_o so_o let_v we_o fear_v and_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n open_v unto_o we_o the_o gate_n and_o say_v after_o a_o other_o manner_n behold_v i_o which_o he_o have_v not_o do_v to_o those_o who_o be_v his_o profess_a enemy_n let_v we_o come_v unto_o he_o moreover_o let_v we_o also_o learn_v so_o patient_o to_o bear_v the_o treason_n which_o we_o see_v to_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o church_n as_o that_o we_o yet_o abhor_v and_o detest_v they_o and_o so_o show_v ourselves_o true_o and_o in_o deed_n to_o cleave_v fast_o unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v our_o head_n and_o since_o we_o have_v his_o truth_n let_v we_o live_v so_o together_o one_o with_o a_o other_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v unite_v together_o in_o true_a &_o brotherly_a concord_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v let_v we_o learn_v this_o

repair_v our_o transgression_n it_o be_v very_o true_a as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o all_o the_o member_n of_o god_n must_v be_v rule_v after_o his_o example_n and_o it_o be_v great_a

they_o the_o torment_n of_o death_n but_o offer_v themselves_o when_o god_n call_v they_o thereto_o for_o the_o glorify_v of_o his_o name_n and_o the_o confess_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o they_o chief_o stand_v upon_o this_o that_o all_o our_o spot_v be_v wash_v and_o cleanse_v by_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o redeemer_n that_o he_o full_o satisfy_v god_n his_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

same_o word_n wherefore_o a_o man_n will_v say_v that_o these_o be_v good_a and_o faithful_a witness_n &_o yet_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v they_o false_a witness_n because_o they_o turn_v this_o say_n wicked_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v of_o his_o body_n which_o be_v the_o true_a temple_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n for_o the_o material_a temple_n which_o be_v build_v in_o jerusalem_n be_v but_o a_o figure_n &_o shadow_n thereof_o as_o we_o know_v but_o the_o whole_a fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n have_v his_o be_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n as_o s._n paul_n witness_v yea_o corporal_o and_o substantial_o and_o therefore_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v 2.9_o col._n 2.9_o that_o we_o must_v not_o simple_o look_v into_o the_o word_n of_o a_o testimony_n but_o to_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o speaker_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a good_a and_o profitable_a instruction_n for_o we_o because_o we_o be_v so_o great_o give_v to_o wickedness_n and_o lease_n that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o colour_n it_o be_v enough_o and_o do_v think_v that_o god_n have_v pardon_v we_o when_o we_o have_v by_o any_o such_o false_a mean_n charge_v any_o man_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o stay_v simple_o upon_o word_n neither_o yet_o upon_o the_o manner_n &_o fashion_n of_o they_o but_o look_v to_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o cause_n for_o they_o which_o may_v at_o all_o time_n defend_v &_o say_v that_o they_o have_v depose_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v say_v or_o do_v be_v yet_o take_v before_o god_n for_o false_a witness_n as_o here_o we_o see_v whereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o cayphas_n say_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n what_o be_v the_o matter_n answer_v thou_o nothing_o see_v thou_o not_o that_o these_o man_n witness_v against_o thou_o and_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n all_o this_o while_n hold_v his_o peace_n &_o put_v up_o all_o these_o revile_v and_o slanderous_a word_n now_o it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o strange_a thing_n the_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v very_o just_a occasion_n to_o disprove_v such_o a_o false_a testimony_n do_v not_o once_o gain_v say_v it_o howbeit_o as_o i_o have_v before_o say_v and_o as_o hereafter_o shall_v more_o at_o large_a appear_v jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o they_o to_o defend_v his_o doctrine_n as_o before_o he_o have_v do_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v wise_o to_o distinguish_v of_o all_o the_o circumstance_n for_o after_o jesus_n christ_n have_v fast_v in_o the_o wilderness_n god_n his_o father_n send_v he_o to_o puplish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o we_o see_v that_o all_o that_o time_n he_o always_o mighty_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n whereof_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n and_o we_o see_v also_o how_o he_o set_v himfelfe_n against_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o he_o discharge_v his_o duty_n because_o he_o be_v appoint_v and_o send_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n but_o here_o be_v one_o special_a regard_n to_o be_v have_v and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o he_o must_v be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v condemn_v not_o because_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v throw_v down_o into_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n &_o suffer_v for_o our_o cause_n by_o reason_n he_o bear_v as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o own_o person_n all_o the_o curse_n and_o transgression_n of_o those_o who_o deserve_v everlasting_a death_n wherefore_o because_o jesus_n christ_n take_v upon_o he_o this_o office_n to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o all_o such_o as_o have_v deadly_o offend_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o when_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o jesus_n christ_n to_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o it_o so_o stand_v with_o his_o office_n &_o calling_n he_o faithful_o discharge_v the_o same_o but_o when_o in_o hold_v his_o peace_n he_o play_v the_o part_n of_o a_o redeemer_n as_o though_o he_o be_v content_v willing_o to_o be_v conden_v it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o own_o cause_n that_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v for_o our_o sake_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o speak_v as_o we_o shall_v ofttimes_o see_v but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o own_o defence_n which_o do_v but_o so_o much_o the_o more_o kindle_v the_o rage_n and_o fury_n of_o the_o ungodly_a against_o himself_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o meaning_n to_o escape_v death_n but_o be_v content_v willing_o to_o be_v overthrow_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v declare_v that_o he_o have_v quite_o forget_v himself_o to_o discharge_v we_o before_o god_n his_o father_n now_o he_o neither_o respect_v himself_o his_o own_o life_n nor_o yet_o his_o honour_n for_o he_o care_v not_o to_o abide_v all_o the_o shame_n and_o slander_v of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o pardon_v of_o our_o condemnation_n and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n charge_v he_o by_o the_o live_a god_n to_o tell_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v christ_n the_o bless_a son_n of_o god_n he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v so_o but_o that_o they_o shall_v see_v his_o majesty_n when_o it_o will_v be_v too_o late_o for_o they_o because_o such_o their_o deal_n shall_v be_v their_o destruction_n and_o overthrow_n now_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v not_o this_o here_o to_o make_v the_o high_a priest_n and_o his_o company_n to_o yield_v gentle_o but_o rather_o to_o prick_v he_o fast_o on_o and_o as_o he_o be_v before_o full_a of_o malice_n &_o cruelty_n this_o be_v to_o make_v the_o fire_n to_o burst_v out_o into_o a_o great_a flambe_v howbeit_o we_o have_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n respect_v not_o himself_o but_o rather_o discharge_v that_o office_n whereof_o he_o have_v take_v the_o charge_n which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n moreover_o we_o see_v here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o contemner_n of_o god_n and_o such_o as_o satan_n have_v altogether_o possess_v will_v use_v some_o colour_a kind_n of_o religion_n for_o a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v his_o duty_n in_o charge_v jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o live_a god_n but_o see_v into_o what_o a_o mischief_n we_o be_v plunge_v when_o satan_n have_v once_o blindfould_v our_o eye_n for_o he_o than_o throw_v we_o headlong_o into_o such_o shamlesnesse_n as_o that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o reverence_n unto_o god_n than_o we_o be_v ashamed_a before_o man_n now_o this_o answer_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n give_v we_o to_o note_v that_o he_o mean_v to_o declare_v to_o cayphas_n and_o the_o rest_n that_o although_o he_o be_v for_o a_o time_n as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v abase_v yet_o will_v not_o that_o lessen_v his_o majesty_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v always_o take_v to_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n far_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o which_o be_v for_o our_o better_a confirmation_n that_o although_o he_o be_v thus_o abase_v for_o our_o salvation_n he_o lose_v no_o part_n of_o his_o heavenly_a majesty_n but_o be_v content_v that_o man_n shall_v oppress_v he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v full_o certify_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v honourable_a before_o god_n because_o that_o all_o the_o shame_n which_o we_o have_v deserve_v shall_v be_v abolish_v and_o therefore_o because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n hold_v his_o peace_n and_o defend_v not_o his_o good_a cause_n let_v our_o mouth_n now_o be_v open_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n as_o if_o we_o be_v just_a for_o he_o be_v our_o advocate_n which_o speak_v for_o
we_o now_o then_o because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n hold_v his_o peace_n he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v now_o free_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n and_o although_o we_o be_v but_o miserable_a worm_n yet_o have_v we_o access_n to_o god_n to_o call_v famyliar_o upon_o he_o &_o which_o open_a mouth_n to_o challenge_v he_o for_o our_o father_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o he_o mean_v to_o show_v we_o say_v hereafter_o shall_v you_o see_v the_o son_n of_o man_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n we_o must_v therefore_o let_v slip_v all_o regard_n which_o may_v bring_v with_o it_o any_o offence_n when_o as_o we_o see_v our_o lord_n jesus_n to_o be_v thus_o abase_v and_o let_v we_o also_o see_v what_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v his_o meaning_n then_o be_v to_o be_v condemn_v without_o resistance_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v frank_o go_v thither_o without_o fear_n let_v we_o therefore_o in_o sum_n learn_v that_o as_o often_o as_o we_o hear_v the_o passion_n of_o the_o history_n recite_v unto_o we_o so_o to_o sigh_v and_o groan_v since_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o so_o wonderful_o suffer_v for_o we_o as_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o tremble_v at_o his_o majesty_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o appear_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v so_o full_o

beside_o let_v we_o fear_v to_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o such_o as_o he_o thus_o threaten_v say_v hereafter_o shall_v you_o see_v for_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o the_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_a shall_v feel_v how_o terrible_a the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n be_v and_o how_o great_a his_o power_n be_v to_o throw_v they_o headlong_o into_o hell_n when_o as_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o they_o and_o when_o saint_n paul_n also_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o condemnation_n which_o the_o wicked_a &_o curse_v of_o god_n shall_v abide_v he_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v tremble_v &_o fear_v at_o the_o countenance_n of_o his_o infinite_a majesty_n since_o they_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o our_o lord_n jesus_n 1.9_o 2._o thes_n 1.9_o let_v we_o not_o look_v to_o behold_v with_o the_o eye_n the_o majesty_n which_o he_o will_v show_v at_o his_o last_o come_n but_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o he_o at_o this_o day_n as_o our_o king_n and_o as_o

and_o therefore_o since_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o we_o can_v stand_v before_o his_o face_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o but_o must_v needs_o be_v enforce_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v condemn_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n and_o although_o we_o have_v live_v but_o one_o year_n yet_o have_v we_o commit_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o fault_n which_o deserve_v everlasting_a condemnation_n and_o be_v so_o engrave_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o we_o can_v deny_v it_o wherefore_o since_o god_n be_v clear_a

and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o be_v overcome_v for_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o have_v perform_v the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n without_o he_o

we_o have_v here_o before_o already_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n so_o willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v make_v a_o sheriffee_n for_o the_o repair_n and_o blot_v out_o of_o our_o iniquity_n

that_o be_v bring_v against_o he_o he_o be_v able_a â—ust_z â—iâ—ally_o to_o have_v do_v it_o but_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n as_o it_o be_v also_o lay_v of_o he_o by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n

for_o the_o set_n forth_o of_o his_o pureness_n of_o life_n now_o in_o very_a deed_n a_o man_n will_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n think_v it_o very_o strange_a that_o he_o hold_v his_o peace_n &_o

and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n also_o without_o you_o will_v have_v deny_v the_o prophecy_n howbeit_o he_o do_v not_o this_o to_o acquit_v himself_o but_o choose_v rather_o to_o hold_v his_o peace_n

6.15_o but_o yet_o no_o earthly_a prince_n for_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v crown_v he_o he_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o hide_v he_o in_o a_o mountain_n and_o thereby_o he_o

to_o say_v the_o truth_n what_o be_v it_o and_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v earthly_a for_o what_o shall_v we_o get_v by_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o 15.19_o 1._o cor._n 15.19_o when_o as_o we_o see_v our_o estate_n to_o be_v so_o miserable_a in_o the_o world_n true_o the_o very_a infidel_n be_v in_o better_a case_n than_o we_o consider_v the_o affliction_n which_o we_o must_v abide_v in_o deed_n it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n send_v his_o scourge_n over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o they_o which_o desire_v as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v

rough_o handle_v for_o god_n must_v first_o begin_v to_o chastise_v his_o own_o house_n and_o church_n and_o therefore_o if_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v be_v a_o earthly_a king_n it_o shall_v seem_v that_o we_o be_v mere_a stranger_n unto_o he_o moreover_o let_v it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v all_o the_o pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o by_o the_o mean_a of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o be_v here_o as_o in_o a_o paradise_n yet_o shall_v our_o life_n be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o our_o felicity_n very_o short_a and_o transitory_a and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v very_o well_o to_o

upon_o these_o worldly_a matter_n this_o then_o be_v the_o sum_n which_o we_o be_v here_o to_o observe_v and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n

when_o as_o we_o offend_v god_n and_o manifest_o transgress_v his_o word_n by_o this_o we_o be_v admonish_v not_o to_o follow_v our_o own_o fantasy_n when_o the_o matter_n concern_v the_o service_n

which_o be_v this_o that_o this_o corruption_n have_v make_v barrabas_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o son_n of_o god_n a_o man_n here_o will_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n think_v it_o very_o

must_v needs_o submit_v myself_o unto_o he_o but_o within_o a_o while_n after_o he_o become_v worse_o than_o ever_o he_o be_v even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o pilate_n now_o this_o be_v to_o admonish_v we_o that_o we_o make_v not_o account_v of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o blast_n of_o wind_n but_o let_v it_o be_v strong_o root_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o how_o do_v pilate_n fear_n god_n forsooth_o it_o be_v such_o a_o fear_n as_o make_v he_o only_o to_o be_v more_o inexcusable_a and_o here_o we_o may_v see_v why_o god_n awaken_v the_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o be_v a_o sleep_n and_o will_v utter_o cast_v of_o the_o yoke_n which_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o more_o narrow_a consideration_n of_o themselves_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v spite_n of_o their_o téethe_n to_o acknowledge_v their_o misery_n and_o feel_v their_o sin_n although_o they_o will_v walter_n themselves_o asleep_a in_o they_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o doubt_n which_o all_o the_o contemner_n of_o god_n and_o the_o wicked_a have_v be_v even_o so_o many_o adiournament_n or_o day_n over_o which_o god_n grant_v they_o to_o make_v they_o void_a of_o all_o excuse_n of_o ignorance_n but_o anon_o after_o they_o let_v slip_v the_o rhine_n and_o run_v at_o random_n without_o any_o stay_n as_o here_o we_o see_v pilate_n do_v at_o the_o beginning_n he_o be_v great_o afeard_a but_o soon_o after_o he_o return_v to_o his_o old_a bias_n again_o for_o thus_o he_o say_v to_o jesus_n know_v not_o thou_o that_o i_o have_v power_n to_o loose_v and_o condemn_v thou_o let_v we_o here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n note_n that_o if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o thief_n yet_o can_v not_o he_o once_o remove_v his_o finger_n without_o god_n have_v give_v he_o power_n how_o then_o dare_v pilate_n warrant_v himself_o such_o a_o outrageous_a licence_n to_o condemn_v and_o pardon_v as_o please_v he_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o set_v at_o liberty_n all_o thief_n to_o rob_v and_o spoil_v in_o the_o wood_n then_o to_o set_v man_n in_o so_o honourable_a a_o place_n who_o take_v pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o their_o authority_n and_o never_o have_v any_o care_n of_o conscience_n but_o bring_v the_o whole_a world_n unto_o confusion_n now_o we_o see_v here_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o pilate_n his_o fear_n never_o take_v deep_a root_n in_o he_o but_o be_v only_o a_o puff_a of_o wind_n wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v azure_n and_o constant_a fear_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o his_o obedience_n and_o valiant_o fight_v against_o whatsoever_o may_v put_v we_o by_o and_o always_o thus_o restrain_v ourselves_o as_o that_o we_o provoke_v not_o he_o to_o wrath_n who_o have_v all_o power_n over_o us._n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o be_v here_o to_o consider_v of_o let_v we_o also_o beside_o consider_v that_o the_o glory_n which_o pilate_n attribute_v to_o himself_o be_v notwithstanding_o turn_v to_o his_o great_a shame_n for_o his_o enemy_n can_v never_o speak_v worse_o of_o he_o then_o for_o this_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v be_v take_v to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o no_o discretion_n to_o discern_v betwixt_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o yet_o he_o boast_v himself_o of_o it_o here_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o high_a the_o despiser_n of_o god_n think_v to_o advance_v themselves_o they_o must_v always_o feel_v that_o they_o be_v the_o more_o shameful_o to_o be_v throw_v down_o and_o god_n so_o give_v they_o over_o into_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n as_o that_o they_o brag_v of_o their_o iniquity_n that_o they_o may_v become_v detestable_a both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n what_o be_v there_o then_o for_o we_o to_o do_v forsooth_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o glory_n in_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o which_o glory_n in_o their_o mightiness_n and_o in_o their_o authority_n without_o doubt_n do_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o anger_n because_o they_o have_v many_o time_n get_v their_o riches_n and_o credit_n by_o unlawful_a mean_n as_o by_o riot_v cruelty_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o extortion_n wherefore_o when_o they_o glory_v herein_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o set_v themselves_o against_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o that_o have_v get_v every_o way_n by_o spoil_n will_v say_v i_o be_o wealthy_a and_o see_v he_o will_v say_v i_o have_v get_v whenas_o he_o have_v suck_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o poor_a out_o of_o they_o but_o how_o sure_o by_o deceit_n and_o wicked_a practice_n in_o rob_v the_o one_o and_o glut_v the_o other_o another_o man_n through_o abition_n and_o unlawful_a mean_n be_v advance_v to_o some_o honour_n and_o hereupon_o forsooth_o this_o man_n will_v be_v great_o fear_v and_o this_o kind_n of_o deal_n be_v manifest_o to_o stand_v against_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o learn_v to_o glory_n in_o that_o which_o god_n allow_v and_o like_v of_o true_a it_o be_v that_o although_o there_o be_v valour_n in_o we_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o usurp_v the_o commendation_n which_o god_n reserve_v to_o himself_o and_o for_o the_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o honour_v he_o because_o all_o that_o we_o have_v come_v of_o his_o free_a gift_n wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o without_o doubt_n glory_n in_o ourselves_o as_o if_o that_o which_o god_n give_v we_o appertein_v unto_o we_o but_o i_o say_v our_o glory_n shall_v be_v only_o in_o this_o that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o adopt_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o have_v give_v we_o his_o grace_n to_o walk_v in_o his_o fear_n and_o power_n also_o to_o abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o héerin_o aught_o to_o be_v all_o our_o glory_n and_o beside_o if_o we_o be_v of_o no_o reputation_n in_o the_o world_n let_v we_o beseech_v he_o to_o grant_v we_o patience_n and_o rather_o desire_v to_o live_v in_o this_o estate_n then_o to_o be_v exalt_v and_o yet_o to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a but_o not_o as_o the_o worldling_n do_v who_o make_v themselves_o such_o sport_n as_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v they_o in_o and_o therefore_o the_o sum_n and_o effect_n wherein_o we_o must_v glory_v be_v this_o to_o will_n and_o desire_n no_o more_o than_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v and_o set_v ourselves_o against_o whatsoever_o he_o mislike_v of_o although_o the_o world_n and_o all_o such_o as_o commit_v tyranny_n and_o exceed_v in_o do_v wicked_o rejoice_v in_o it_o wherefore_o let_v we_o glad_o and_o willing_o leave_v all_o these_o glory_n desire_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o have_v god_n to_o acknowledge_v and_o allow_v we_o for_o his_o child_n and_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v here_o to_o consider_v of_o now_o for_o a_o full_a conclusion_n it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o pilate_n see_v he_o prevail_v nothing_o and_o that_o the_o people_n make_v a_o great_a stir_n he_o wash_v his_o hand_n and_o say_v i_o be_o innocent_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o this_o man_n we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n must_v be_v find_v innocent_a even_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o judge_n own_o mouth_n for_o where_o it_o be_v lay_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v condemn_v and_o suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o we_o that_o we_o have_v understand_v the_o history_n but_o we_o must_v eftsoon_o acknowledge_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o innocent_a but_o be_v also_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o holiness_n and_o perfection_n why_o then_o be_v he_o condemn_v 3.13_o john_n 1.29_o 1._o pet._n 1.19_o galat._n 3.13_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o here_o be_v two_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a thing_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o unspotted_a lamb_n of_o god_n and_o because_o he_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v condemn_v as_o a_o sacrifice_n this_o word_n lamb_n import_v that_o he_o must_v be_v offer_v up_o and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o the_o law_n call_v sacrifice_n forsooth_o it_o be_v sin_n and_o curse_n and_o we_o see_v why_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v accurse_v for_o we_o to_o wit_n he_o

as_o concern_v the_o matter_n which_o before_o we_o have_v handle_v we_o must_v yet_o a_o great_a deal_n better_o consider_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o of_o

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

here_o we_o then_o see_v how_o this_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v which_o be_v this_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v that_o there_o want_v nothing_o to_o the_o finish_n of_o our_o

care_v neither_o for_o life_n nor_o death_n for_o all_o shall_v be_v gain_n unto_o he_o wherefore_o let_v we_o now_o learn_v that_o when_o death_n shall_v assail_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v break_v the_o sting_n which_o may_v have_v sting_v we_o deadly_a to_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o death_n shall_v no_o long_o hurt_v we_o and_o that_o when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n yield_v up_o his_o

be_v that_o triumph_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v which_o already_o profit_v us._n for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n show_v how_o precious_a his_o death_n be_v when_o as_o he_o go_v so_o free_o unto_o

let_v we_o account_v it_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o glory_n and_o let_v we_o also_o understande_v that_o although_o we_o be_v put_v to_o shame_v under_o his_o conduct_n yet_o

9_o 2d_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n without_o the_o effusion_n of_o blood_n for_o behold_v why_o sacrifice_n be_v use_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o god_n have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o all_o miserable_a

which_o run_v down_o from_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n witness_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v be_v a_o satisfaction_n for_o all_o our_o iniquity_n so_o that_o we_o be_v discharge_v of_o they_o before_o god_n true_a it_o be_v we_o must_v continual_o feel_v ourselves_o to_o be_v guilty_a that_o we_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o bring_v to_o true_a repentance_n and_o be_v clear_o void_a of_o all_o presumption_n but_o however_o it_o be_v we_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n acquit_v and_o pardon_v we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n when_o we_o come_v to_o

the_o water_n then_o that_o cleanse_v wherefore_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v wash_v from_o all_o our_o spot_n let_v we_o understande_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v that_o water_n shall_v issue_v out_o of_o his_o side_n to_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n our_o purity_n and_o that_o we_o must_v seek_v for_o none_o other_o remedy_n to_o wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o water_n and_o blood_n come_v from_o he_o by_o which_o mean_v we_o be_v thorough_o save_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o must_v make_v no_o wandless_n to_o seek_v our_o aid_n else_o where_o but_o when_o we_o shall_v consider_v more_o near_o of_o the_o matter_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o very_a notable_a similitude_n between_o the_o

i_o speak_v of_o two_o because_o there_o be_v no_o more_o institute_v in_o his_o word_n but_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n for_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o a_o vain_a imagination_n devise_v by_o the_o rash_a boldness_n of_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n pour_v out_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n aswell_o upon_o baptism_n as_o on_o the_o holy_a supper_n for_o baptism_n be_v a_o witness_n unto_o we_o that_o he_o have_v so_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n as_o that_o god_n receive_v we_o unto_o his_o favour_n as_o if_o we_o come_v clean_o and_o neat_a before_o he_o now_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n work_v not_o this_o effect_n for_o how_o can_v a_o corruptible_a element_n wash_v and_o cleanse_v our_o soul_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v because_o water_n issue_v out_o of_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o will_v that_o

that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v purchase_v we_o life_n by_o his_o resurrection_n so_o that_o we_o must_v go_v straight_o to_o he_o wtout_fw-fr seek_v any_o other_o mean_v to_o direct_v

because_o we_o know_v that_o we_o can_v be_v put_v beside_o that_o which_o be_v promise_v we_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o although_o we_o must_v run_v through_o a_o number_n of_o

this_o whole_o mortgage_v and_o since_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v we_o now_o unto_o he_o and_o tell_v we_o allow_v that_o he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v gather_v we_o altogether_o let_v we_o constant_o persevere_v both_o to_o seek_v he_o and_o follow_v he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o hurt_n for_o we_o to_o die_v with_o he_o since_o we_o shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o saint_n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o be_v like_a unto_o jesus_n christ_n not_o only_o as_o touch_v his_o death_n but_o also_o as_o concern_v his_o burial_n for_o there_o be_v

which_o we_o must_v patient_o abide_v but_o because_o we_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o humble_v it_o be_v meet_v we_o shall_v be_v long_a time_n scourge_v and_o be_v content_v and_o patient_o bear_v

he_o may_v by_o his_o resurrection_n 1.4_o rom._n 1.4_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o diverse_a other_o place_n sufficient_o declare_v thus_o now_o we_o see_v that_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v rise_v again_o &_o leave_v the_o way_n open_a unto_o we_o that_o we_o may_v

also_o be_v it_o common_a to_o we_o as_o saint_n john_n more_o plain_o declare_v now_o to_o say_v true_o 22.23_o psal_n 22.23_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n unto_o that_o say_n of_o the_o psalm_n

my_o god_n and_o to_o your_o god_n unto_o my_o father_n and_o unto_o your_o father_n now_o this_o be_v not_o mean_v by_o a_o few_o but_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o multitude_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o although_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o eternal_a god_n yet_o be_v he_o content_v notwithstanding_o even_o in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o mediator_n to_o abase_v himself_o and_o come_v near_o we_o and_o to_o have_v all_o thing_n common_a with_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o human_a nature_n for_o although_o he_o be_v the_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n and_o we_o by_o

meet_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v exalt_v as_o hie_v as_o our_o head_n and_o sovereign_a and_o sure_o this_o can_v not_o but_o be_v a_o wonderful_a confusion_n if_o the_o head_n of_o a_o man_n body_n shall_v not_o be_v above_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v seem_v a_o very_a monster_n and_o a_o confuse_a lump_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v also_o very_o good_a

may_v be_v join_v with_o he_o in_o brotherhood_n that_o we_o may_v free_o and_o with_o good_a assueraunce_n call_v upon_o god_n and_o be_v hear_v because_o we_o have_v familiar_a access_n unto_o he_o we_o see_v then_o what_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o say_n be_v when_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v his_o disciple_n brethren_n to_o wit_n he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n

when_o he_o thus_o conjoin_v himself_o with_o such_o wretched_a creature_n as_o we_o be_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v one_o of_o our_o company_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o a_o admiration_n with_o the_o matter_n whenas_o we_o see_v he_o use_v such_o his_o goodness_n towards_o we_o as_o that_o by_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v purchase_v for_o we_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n for_o the_o purchase_n whereof_o he_o abase_v himself_o &_o become_v of_o no_o reputation_n since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n vouchsave_v to_o allow_v we_o for_o

to_o say_v the_o truth_n let_v it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a &_o blockishe_a yet_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v able_a to_o excuse_v our_o slackness_n if_o we_o come_v not_o unto_o our_o

wherefore_o when_o we_o daily_o eat_v and_o drink_v it_o witness_v thus_o much_o unto_o we_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n declare_v his_o goodness_n unto_o we_o but_o in_o this_o table_n there_o be_v

that_o may_v be_v to_o have_v god_n our_o enemy_n and_o it_o behove_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v enter_v into_o it_o as_o our_o pledge_n &_o as_o one_o that_o shall_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o

that_o he_o must_v be_v tie_v &_o keep_v from_o do_v his_o duty_n for_o fear_v the_o people_n will_v have_v stone_v they_o all_o to_o death_n for_o they_o see_v well_o enough_o that_o this_o malice_n

that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v that_o he_o bear_v our_o infirmity_n and_o sustain_v our_o grief_n without_o doubt_n the_o prophet_n speak_v not_o here_o of_o bodily_a disease_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o evangelist_n have_v apply_v this_o testimony_n but_o ill_a but_o he_o in_o declare_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n heal_v outward_a disease_n mean_v to_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o high_a consideration_n because_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o behold_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o figure_n the_o reason_n of_o his_o come_n into_o the_o

as_o there_o be_v many_o evil_a humour_n in_o the_o body_n even_o so_o likewise_o
be_v there_o many_o other_o like_o thing_n to_o be_v short_a there_o be_v many_o secret_a disease_n &_o even_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o our_o soul_n &_o because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o vice_n before_o the_o lord_n god_n they_o have_v also_o need_v of_o a_o physician_n and_o who_o shall_v he_o be_v we_o shall_v not_o find_v he_o either_o in_o heaven_n or_o in_o earth_n except_o it_o be_v he_o who_o the_o heavenly_a father_n have_v give_v we_o to_o wit_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v reach_v to_o the_o understanding_n how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v bring_v health_n to_o our_o soul_n let_v we_o come_v to_o figure_n out_o the_o which_o be_v here_o show_v we_o when_o he_o make_v the_o blind_a to_o see_v for_o this_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o our_o soul_n be_v both_o blind_a &_o beastly_a beside_o jesus_n christ_n make_v the_o dumb_a to_o speak_v now_o we_o give_v our_o tongue_n to_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o

when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n true_o it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v no_o capacity_n but_o be_v like_o very_a blockhead_n for_o we_o shall_v see_v how_o

otherwise_o then_o have_v be_v determine_v before_o by_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o the_o prophet_n bring_v we_o always_o back_o to_o this_o that_o we_o must_v lift_v our_o mind_n unto_o god_n &_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n &_o offence_n even_o in_o the_o

we_o must_v not_o cease_v more_o &_o more_o to_o comforme_v ourselves_o thereto_o and_o for_o that_o more_o lively_a express_v here_o of_o see_v why_o the_o prophet_n go_v on_o further_a and_o say_v that_o he_o will_v make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n to_o wit_n that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v forget_v his_o own_o life_n for_o the_o redeem_n of_o our_o life_n &_o the_o price_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n here_o the_o prophet_n again_o set_v before_o we_o the_o willing_a obedience_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o as_o he_o have_v say_v that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n he_o shall_v be_v afflict_v even_o so_o likewise_o he_o now_o say_v that_o the_o son_n yield_v himself_o willing_o thereto_o thrust_v himself_o forward_o to_o become_v a_o

and_o therefore_o it_o must_v necessary_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v yield_v and_o offer_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o death_n which_o he_o suffer_v for_o without_o that_o as_o yesterday_o be_v declare_v our_o rebellion_n have_v never_o be_v repare_v before_o god_n but_o when_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o soul_n to_o wit_n that_o he_o be_v press_v and_o ready_a to_o suffer_v the_o condemnation_n that_o we_o deserve_v in_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o we_o have_v by_o his_o death_n full_a assurance_n of_o salvation_n and_o this_o he_o himself_o say_v in_o the_o

which_o also_o he_o will_v receive_v &_o adopt_v we_o unto_o himself_o thus_o we_o namely_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n mean_v to_o offer_v here_o unto_o us._n now_o it_o be_v

in_o his_o hand_n here_o he_o bring_v we_o yet_o once_o again_o back_o unto_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o glory_n &_o excellency_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v

of_o the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o purpose_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o separate_v himself_o from_o it_o 2.11_o heb._n 2.11_o and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o he_o

therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o say_v here_o that_o he_o shall_v see_v a_o seed_n of_o long_a continuance_n or_o a_o everlasting_a seed_n so_o then_o we_o be_v again_o to_o conclude_v that_o the_o benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n obtain_v by_o his_o resurrection_n be_v not_o particular_a for_o himself_o alone_o but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v part_n thereof_o and_o be_v call_v unto_o

we_o be_v take_v to_o be_v of_o his_o flock_n forsooth_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o point_n because_o we_o be_v partaker_n with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n

also_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o better_a taste_n of_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n it_o be_v say_v because_o he_o give_v his_o soul_n a_o offer_n for_o sin_n to_o wit_n for_o satisfaction_n or_o for_o sacrifice_n that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n for_o we_o right_o well_o show_v that_o we_o will_v blot_v out_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n if_o we_o glorify_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_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

very_o true_a it_o be_v that_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v bless_v which_o have_v beléeve_v and_o not_o see_v wherefore_o we_o must_v believe_v this_o ascension_n rather_o than_o if_o we_o have_v

howbeit_o he_o leave_v always_o some_o token_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v to_o be_v angel_n for_o if_o we_o understand_v they_o to_o be_v only_o as_o mortal_a man_n we_o will_v

therefore_o to_o what_o end_n shall_v we_o use_v counsel_n &_o advice_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o reason_n these_o fantastical_a fellow_n will_v yield_v unto_o their_o folly_n which_o be_v over_o

let_v we_o know_v that_o he_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o hand_n &_o that_o the_o wicked_a can_v do_v nothing_o against_o we_o except_o the_o lord_n geve_v they_o leave_v and_o yet_o there_o remain_v a_o

it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o turn_v to_o corruption_n and_o why_o so_o because_o that_o god_n only_o have_v so_o ordain_v it_o and_o not_o that_o it_o can_v do_v natural_o so_o for_o when_o he_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n he_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o we_o sin_n

have_v see_v the_o bone_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n they_o may_v well_o enough_o have_v be_v bruise_v &_o break_v &_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o be_v so_o because_o that_o god_n have_v in_o such_o sort_n appoint_v it_o &_o that_o they_o be_v not_o natural_o so_o here_o we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v concern_v that_o which_o may_v be_v

upon_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o after_o our_o own_o reason_n now_o in_o that_o we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o god_n ordein_v

be_v excuse_v for_o answer_v hereof_o we_o must_v in_o the_o first_o place_n understand_v what_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o &_o that_o he_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o law_n we_o know_v that_o he_o have_v forbid_v steal_v if_o then_o i_o go_v &_o steal_v what_o do_v i_o then_o his_o will_n sure_o when_o the_o wicked_a go_v about_o to_o do_v any_o mischief_n they_o go_v not_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o they_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o god_n utter_o mislike_v all_o wicked_a deal_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o do_v any_o evil_n they_o withstand_v the_o

we_o commit_v for_o we_o see_v that_o he_o give_v the_o devil_n leave_v to_o punish_v such_o be_v worthy_a thereof_o the_o devil_n commit_v evil_a and_o have_v none_o other_o regard_n but_o to_o do_v
