lord_n be_v bid_v too_o dinner_n by_o a_o certain_a pharisie_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o that_o a_o certain_a man_n disease_v of_o the_o dropsy_n be_v bring_v before_o he_o he_o demand_v of_o those_o that_o seem_v too_o themselves_o too_o be_v wise_a than_o other_o man_n whither_o it_o be_v lawful_a too_o heal_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o put_v forth_o this_o question_n be_v for_o that_o as_o the_o pharisy_n have_v with_o their_o gloss_n corrupt_v the_o other_o scripture_n so_o also_o have_v they_o deface_v the_o keep_v of_o the_o sabbath_n howbéeit_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v the_o saboth_n we_o will_v set_v forth_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n concern_v the_o saboth_n and_o speak_v of_o four_o thing_n in_o order_n first_o wherefore_o god_n ordain_v the_o sabbath_n day_n second_o what_o be_v the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o jew_n sabbath_n three_o what_o manner_n of_o holy_a day_n we_o ought_v too_o be_v and_o fourthly_a of_o the_o true_a ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o the_o end_n of_o they_o why_o then_o do_v god_n ordain_v the_o sabbath_n day_n there_o be_v rek●ened_v chéef_o five_o cause_n of_o which_o the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o perpetual_a sacrament_n or_o remembrance_n of_o god_n rest_n after_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n which_o he_o make_v in_o six_o day_n with_o all_o the_o furniture_n and_o content_n thereof_o this_o cause_n be_v allege_v in_o the_o second_o of_o genesis_n where_o moses_n say_v that_o the_o lord_n command_v the_o saboth_n day_n too_o be_v keep_v holy_a because_o he_o rest_v that_o day_n from_o creation_n the_o same_o thing_n also_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o twenty_o of_o exodus_fw-la in_o these_o word_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o in_o six_o day_n the_o lord_n god_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o second_o cause_n of_o the_o ordain_v of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o type_n and_o counterfigure_v of_o chryste_n sabbath_n keep_v for_o it_o represent_v the_o sabbath_n which_o chryst_n the_o true_a passeover_n and_o creator_n of_o the_o new_a heaven_n &_o new_a earth_n shall_v rest_v in_o his_o grave_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o keep_v the_o very_a sabbath_n aright_o and_o therefore_o he_o command_v the_o jew_n straight_o too_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o by_o the_o unserchable_a devise_n of_o his_o wisdom_n he_o ordain_v that_o chryste_n the_o true_a paschall_n lamb_n shall_v be_v slay_v and_o put_v too_o death_n upon_o the_o very_a day_n of_o the_o passeover_n and_o that_o he_o rest_v the_o saboth_n day_n follow_v in_o his_o grave_n the_o three_o cause_n also_o why_o the_o saboth_n be_v ordain_v be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o pledge_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o god_n promise_v his_o people_n a_o saboth_n that_o be_v too_o say_v a_o rest_n esay_n ▪_o the_o xiiij_o and_o in_o that_o day_n when_o god_n shall_v give_v thou_o rest_n from_o thy_o labour_n and_o from_o thy_o confusion_n and_o from_o thy_o hard_a bondage_n wherein_o thou_o do_v serve_v etc._n etc._n the_o people_n of_o god_n look_v for_o three_o kind_n of_o rest_n the_o first_o be_v from_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o present_a trouble_n in_o this_o life_n the_o second_o be_v from_o the_o temptation_n wherewith_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o the_o devil_n assault_v us._n the_o third_o be_v from_o the_o thraldom_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o as_o he_o may_v never_o more_o bring_v we_o under_o his_o bondage_n and_o hard_a yoke_n the_o four_o cause_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v too_o the_o intent_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n certain_a for_o teach_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n wherein_o there_o may_v be_v a_o open_a and_o common_a profess_v of_o the_o religion_n in_o which_o the_o godly_a may_v take_v comfort_n &_o the_o ignorant_a be_v instruct_v in_o

up_o thy_o face_n untoo_o god._n for_o the_o saboth_n be_v not_o ordain_v too_o play_v and_o drink_v in_o but_o too_o pray_v and_o praise_n god_n in_o whereupon_o austin_n say_v it_o be_v less_o evil_a too_o go_v too_o plough_v than_o too_o play_v upon_o one_o of_o those_o day_n the_o five_o cause_n be_v for_o civil_a policy_n which_o be_v commend_v too_o god_n people_n deut._n 5._o in_o these_o word_n keep_v the_o saboth_n day_n that_o thy_o man_n servant_n thy_o maid_n servant_n and_o thyself_o may_v rest_v and_o afterward_o thou_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n therein_o

have_v we_o the_o true_a cause_n and_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o jewishe_a sabbath_n now_o although_o the_o jewish_a saboth_n toogither_o with_o other_o ceremony_n of_o moses_n be_v abolish_v and_o disannul_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o perteyn_v too_o the_o keep_v of_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o week_n yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o touch_v the_o use_n of_o it_o it_o be_v continual_a as_o a_o thing_n ratify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n for_o like_a as_o god_n will_v be_v serve_v and_o that_o his_o word_n shall_v be_v preach_v so_o nature_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v

wherefore_o our_o lord_n also_o heal_v the_o man_n that_o have_v the_o dropsy_n upon_o the_o saboth_n day_n the_o four_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o superior_n too_o who_o we_o must_v be_v

the_o time_n of_o their_o whole_a life_n for_o the_o godly_a mind_v &_o weigh_v of_o these_o part_n do_v not_o only_o confute_v those_o which_o in_o the_o papacy_n think_v themselves_o too_o have_v discharge_v their_o duty_n if_o they_o say_v over_o so_o many_o pater_fw-la noster_n and_o aue_fw-la mary_n kneel_v before_o idol_n set_v up_o for_o a_o superstitious_a service_n of_o god_n but_o also_o wonderful_o strengthen_v and_o comfort_v the_o godly_a i_o will_v therefore_o set_v out_o the_o six_o part_n of_o this_o mind_v the_o first_o be_v that_o thereby_o will_v come_v too_o our_o mind_n how_o great_a the_o wrath_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o have_v be_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n which_o can_v not_o be_v appease_v by_o the_o work_v of_o any_o creature_n but_o that_o of_o necessity_n the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n must_v die_v too_o pacify_v god_n wrath_n by_o make_v this_o rightful_a satisfaction_n for_o sin_n the_o second_o be_v that_o thereby_o will_v come_v too_o our_o remembrance_n how_o unmeasurable_a and_o unsercheable_a have_v be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n who_o rather_o will_v that_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n shall_v suffer_v most_o bitter_a death_n than_o that_o mankind_n who_o he_o have_v create_v shall_v perish_v peradventure_o thou_o 〈◊〉_d surmise_n that_o god_n can_v have_v deliver_v mankind_n by_o some_o other_o mean_n what_o be_v thou_o that_o will_v teach_v god_n what_o he_o may_v have_v do_v think_v thou_o upon_o god_n justice_n and_o mercy_n together_o for_o as_o his_o mercy_n move_v he_o too_o save_v so_o his_o justice_n move_v he_o too_o look_v for_o rightful_a amends_n of_o the_o wrong_n man_z sind_z and_o for_o so_o do_v he_o must_v either_o perish_v or_o make_v amends_n now_o man_n be_v no_o more_o but_o man_n can_v not_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n and_o other_o than_o man_n none_o ought_v too_o do_v it_o god_n wisdom_n therefore_o find_v through_o mercy_n a_o remedy_n in_o this_o case_n which_o be_v that_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n shall_v become_v man_n by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o both_o be_v able_a too_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n because_o he_o be_v god_n and_o ought_v too_o do_v it_o because_o he_o have_v take_v man_n nature_n upon_o he_o thus_o in_o chryst_n passion_n appéer_v mercy_n too_o be_v mix_v with_o justice_n and_o wisdom_n have_v temper_v they_o both_o the_o third_o be_v that_o thereby_o will_v come_v too_o mind_n the_o most_o excellent_a and_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n towards_o mankind_n who_o vouchsave_v too_o turn_v the_o wrath_n of_o his_o father_n too_o himself_o and_o too_o abide_v so_o slanderous_a a_o death_n and_o that_o for_o his_o enemy_n as_o paul_n bear_v witness_v rom._n 5._o the_o four_o be_v that_o thereby_o will_v

lord_n passion_n offer_v untoo_o thou_o where_o and_o as_o often_o as_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n chryst_n be_v preach_v and_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n do_v in_o god_n steed_n show_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o lord_n passion_n too_o all_o that_o here_o the_o gospel_n ageyne_n when_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o lord_n passion_n be_v thus_o offer_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v receyve_v by_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o certeyn_a hand_n of_o man_n the_o which_o faith_n the_o holy_a ghost_n woork_v in_o man_n that_o here_o the_o gospel_n and_o obey_v it_o furthermore_o it_o be_v seal_v up_o with_o either_o sacrament_n of_o baptim_o and_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o the_o strength_n and_o use_n thereof_o be_v paint_v out_o as_o it_o be_v in_o

believe_v most_o assure_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n suffer_v death_n for_o thou_o which_o thing_n if_o thou_o do_v thou_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n in_o so_o much_o that_o all_o

howbeit_o the_o lord_n do_v here_o strengthen_v these_o waverer_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o paul_n the_o lord_n shall_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o your_o power_n but_o

of_o a_o prophet_n that_o he_o behave_v himself_o holy_o in_o all_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o eyesight_n of_o god_n this_o acknowledge_n of_o chryst_n be_v great_a although_o it_o be_v not_o full_a and_o perfect_a the_o pharisee_n the_o high_a priest_n pilate_n and_o herode_fw-la do_v put_v chryst_n to_o death_n as_o a_o blasphemer_n these_o disciple_n bear_v witness_v that_o he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n whereupon_o we_o may_v derive_v this_o doctrine_n that_o in_o religion_n not_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a man_n but_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v they_o

the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n here_o first_o have_v our_o faith_n somewhat_o too_o learn_v at_o chryste_n hand_n chryste_n very_o find_v fault_n with_o those_o disciple_n
