when_o a_o candle_n be_v put_v out_o we_o must_v judge_v then_o of_o our_o faith_n as_o of_o a_o tree_n which_o in_o wiuter_n seem_v to_o be_v dead_a because_o it_o have_v no_o fruit_n nor_o leaf_n

it_o be_v needful_a to_o consider_v one_o wonderful_a thing_n to_o wit_n how_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v one_o only_o may_v be_v also_o entire_o distribute_v to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o member_n without_o be_v divide_v and_o sunder_v in_o any_o respect_n to_o answer_v this_o point_n a_o man_n may_v say_v of_o it_o as_o certain_a philosopher_n have_v say_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n soul_n which_o be_v whole_o throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o in_o every_o part_n a_o like_a even_o so_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n whole_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n as_o the_o soul_n to_o give_v it_o life_n and_o to_o maintain_v it_o then_o be_v it_o altogether_o in_o every_o of_o the_o particular_a member_n to_o make_v they_o strong_a whole_a stout_a and_o of_o courage_n to_o do_v all_o their_o office_n and_o duty_n the_o which_o thing_n a_o man_n may_v understand_v by_o two_o similitude_n one_o be_v of_o the_o voice_n which_o be_v hear_v of_o a_o great_a many_o person_n be_v in_o such_o sort_n receive_v of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o face_n provide_v that_o they_o be_v attentive_a that_o the_o same_o be_v whole_o understand_v without_o be_v divide_v or_o sunder_v in_o any_o respect_n the_o other_o similitude_n be_v of_o the_o face_n which_o may_v be_v receive_v in_o many_o glass_n and_o whole_o represent_v to_o all_o without_o any_o division_n or_o separation_n of_o the_o same_o let_v we_o conclude_v then_o that_o a_o faithful_a man_n through_o faith_n embrace_v the_o whole_a righteousness_n and_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o can_v not_o be_v condemn_v or_o accurse_v before_o god_n judgement_n no_o more_o than_o his_o head_n with_o who_o he_o be_v in_o separable_o knit_v &_o unite_v when_o any_o man_n be_v fall_v into_o the_o water_n where_o he_o be_v up_o even_o to_o the_o chin_n if_o he_o can_v be_v hurt_v as_o long_o as_o his_o head_n be_v above_o the_o water_n although_o that_o all_o the_o member_n and_o part_n of_o his_o body_n be_v drown_v and_o founder_v so_o also_o we_o can_v be_v stifle_v or_o hurt_v in_o the_o deapth_n of_o death_n similitude_n see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o head_n be_v always_o lift_v up_o above_o those_o deapth_n &_o for_o that_o upon_o the_o life_n and_o health_n of_o he_o depend_v the_o health_n and_o salvation_n of_o all_o his_o member_n now_o it_o be_v time_n to_o show_v by_o what_o sign_n and_o mark_n we_o may_v know_v no_o whether_o we_o possess_v jesus_n christ_n and_o

alone_a mediator_n as_o touch_v love_n charity_n first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v require_v that_o we_o love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n with_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o with_o all_o our_o

such_o wise_a that_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o measure_v thereof_o and_o likewise_o of_o all_o other_o our_o affection_n now_o in_o observe_v of_o these_o four_o point_n we_o must_v first_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o be_v not_o dull_a and_o slothful_a to_o do_v our_o endeavour_n therein_o the_o which_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v avoid_v we_o must_v seek_v out_o with_o all_o diligence_n every_o occasion_n to_o apply_v ourselves_o thereto_o and_o take_v heed_n to_o avoid_v those_o thing_n which_o may_v turn_v we_o away_o from_o it_o then_o afterwards_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o in_o no_o wise_a we_o distrust_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o service_n that_o we_o offer_v up_o unto_o he_o but_o that_o we_o be_v certain_o persuade_v that_o we_o together_o with_o our_o work_n shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o through_o grace_n that_o have_v this_o persuasion_n we_o may_v go_v faithful_o &_o cheerful_o forward_a in_o our_o vocation_n and_o final_o that_o we_o take_v good_a heed_n to_o ourselves_o self_n that_o above_o all_o thing_n we_o be_v not_o presumptuous_a and_o to_o the_o end_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o it_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o have_v no_o opinion_n of_o ourselves_o nor_o of_o our_o work_n but_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o psalm_n we_o must_v not_o desire_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o high_a for_o we_o 1_o but_o be_v content_a with_o that_o portion_n and_o measure_n of_o grace_n that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o and_o we_o must_v apply_v ourselves_o according_a to_o that_o power_n and_o mean_v that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v 10_o let_v every_o man_n as_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o gift_n minister_v the_o same_o one_o to_o a_o other_o as_o a_o good_a husband_n and_o
