of_o public_a function_n they_o take_v nothing_o that_o night_n christ_n suffer_v they_o to_o take_v pain_n in_o vain_a all_o night_n to_o make_v know_v and_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o credit_n of_o

cast_v out_o the_o net_n on_o the_o right_a side_n christ_n do_v not_o command_v they_o according_a to_o the_o right_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o lord_n and_o master_n but_o he_o counseli_v they_o

though_o they_o have_v have_v bad_a success_n all_o the_o night_n and_o sure_o we_o must_v constant_o wait_v for_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v give_v place_n to_o the_o same_o for_o nothing_o be_v more_o preposterous_a then_o to_o pluck_v back_o the_o hand_n from_o the_o work_n straightway_o unless_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v fruitful_a peter_n his_o nakedness_n do_v testify_v that_o they_o labour_v serious_o but_o they_o refuse_v not_o to_o make_v trial_n of_o a_o new_a castinge_n lest_o they_o neglect_v any_o opportunity_n and_o in_o that_o they_o obey_v christ_n his_o

look_v for_o we_o must_v lift_v up_o our_o mind_n unto_o god_n because_o we_o must_v straightway_o remember_v that_o this_o benefit_n come_v from_o his_o grace_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o

of_o danger_n the_o rest_n do_v follow_v he_o by_o ship_n they_o come_v all_o unto_o christ_n at_o length_n but_o peter_n i●_n carry_v with_o singular_a zeal_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v doubt_v whether_o he_o come_v to_o the_o bank_n walk_v or_o swim_v let_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o know_v this_o that_o in_o that_o he_o take_v his_o journey_n have_v leave_v the_o ship_n it_o be_v no_o headlong_a force_n of_o rashness_n but_o he_o go_v before_o the_o rest_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o zeal_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o draw_v it_o first_o of_o all_o christe-shewed_n one_o token_n of_o his_o power_n in_o such_o a_o plentiful_a draught_n of_o fish_n and_o he_o show_v another_o in_o y_z t_z he_o keep_v the_o net_n whole_a by_o his_o hide_a power_n which_o must_v needs_o have_v burst_v otherwise_o now_o hereunto_o be_v add_v other_o circumstance_n that_o the_o disciple_n find_v hot_a coal_n upon_o the_o bank_n that_o there_o be_v fish_n that_o there_o be_v also_o bread_n lay_v ready_a there_o as_o touch_v the_o number_n of_o the_o fish_n we_o must_v not_o seek_v any_o high_a mystery_n in_o that_o augustine_n do_v subtle_o make_v and_o forge_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o number_n recite_v but_o if_o a_o man_n do_v well_o and_o thorough_o examine_v it_o he_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o childish_a toy_n 10._o bring_v of_o the_o fish_n although_o the_o net_n be_v fill_v in_o a_o moment_n without_o any_o great_a labour_n of_o they_o yet_o christ_n assign_v the_o draughte_n unto_o

the_o question_n may_v be_v what_o let_v they_o whether_o shame_n proceed_v from_o reverence_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n but_o &_o if_o christ_n see_v they_o doubt_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v prevent_v their_o doubt_n as_o he_o do_v oftentimes_o else_o where_o i_o answer_n that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o cause_n of_o shame_n save_v only_o because_o it_o be_v evident_a enough_o that_o it_o be_v christ._n for_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o ask_v concern_v doubtful_a and_o dark_a matter_n therefore_o the_o evangelist_n give_v we_o to_o understande_v that_o they_o ask_v not_o christ_n because_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o do_v he_o injury_n he_o have_v so_o manifest_o reveal_v himself_o 14._o this_o be_v now_o the_o third_o time_n the_o number_n of_o three_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o

it_o be_v not_o needful_a that_o we_o shall_v great_o labour_v to_o clear_v she_o of_o all_o fault_n for_o by_o faith_n she_o ought_v to_o have_v rise_v to_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o natural_a mean_n but_o surmount_v the_o whole_a world_n &_o yet_o she_o now_o stay_v in_o the_o common_a course_n of_o generation_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v that_o she_o do_v not_o so_o doubt_v or_o demand_v as_o if_o she_o will_v have_v the_o power_n of_o god_n make_v subject_a or_o equal_a to_o her_o sense_n but_o be_v strike_v with_o a_o sudden_a

many_o doubt_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n she_o yet_o do_v stay_v but_o at_o this_o one_o she_o may_v easy_o have_v object_v where_o be_v that_o throne_n of_o david_n become_v see_v that_o all_o

of_o isay._n faith_n therefore_o be_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n conceive_v in_o the_o virgin_n mind_n cause_v she_o without_o doubt_n to_o believe_v the_o message_n that_o be_v bring_v she_o of_o erect_v of_o the_o throne_n of_o david_n if_o any_o except_a and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v also_o a_o other_o prophecy_n that_o a_o virgin_n shall_v bear_v a_o son_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o

that_o she_o shall_v not_o dwell_v together_o with_o her_o husband_n but_o this_o conjecture_n be_v probable_a &_o plain_a that_o the_o greatness_n or_o rather_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o matter_n do_v so_o strike_v the_o virgin_n that_o she_o have_v all_o her_o sense_n tie_v &_o bind_v with_o admiration_n when_o she_o hear_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bear_v she_o consider_v

that_o it_o arise_v rather_o of_o a_o admiration_n then_o of_o distrust_n the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o the_o angel_n do_v not_o so_o set_v the_o manner_n as_o it_o have_v be_v

be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o essential_a power_n of_o god_n through_o who_o work_n he_o show_v and_o exercise_v himself_o as_o well_o in_o the_o governance_n of_o the_o world_n as_o in_o miracle_n there_o be_v a_o apt_a metaphor_n in_o the_o word_n overshadowe_v for_o the_o scripture_n do_v oft_o compare_v the_o power_n of_o god_n wherewith_o he_o preserve_v and_o defend_v he_o unto_o a_o shadow_n but_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o other_o more_o peculiar_a sense_n and_o understanding_n of_o this_o place_n namely_o that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n shall_v be_v secret_a even_o as_o a_o cloud_n set_v before_o shall_v stay_v the_o eye_n of_o man_n from_o see_v and_o as_o in_o work_v miracle_n god_n do_v keep_v secret_a from_o we_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o work_n so_o it_o

the_o glory_n of_o god_n shall_v always_o have_v the_o first_o place_n therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o pray_v we_o must_v never_o turn_v our_o eye_n from_o this_o mark_n or_o line_n there_o be_v yet_o this_o difference_n between_o the_o two_o sort_n or_o part_n of_o prayer_n which_o i_o set_v down_o that_o while_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o hallow_n of_o his_o name_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o sense_n on_o high_a that_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o they_o shall_v attend_v upon_o god_n alone_o and_o then_o that_o we_o shall_v descend_v to_o ourselves_o and_o join_v the_o care_n of_o our_o salvation_n with_o those_o former_a petition_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n alone_o and_o although_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o food_n even_o as_o much_o as_o the_o soul_n excel_v the_o body_n yet_o christ_n begin_v at_o bread_n and_o the_o sustentation_n of_o this_o earthly_a life_n that_o from_o such_o a_o beginning_n he_o may_v lead_v they_o high_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o have_v our_o daily_a bread_n before_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n as_o though_o that_o we_o shall_v esteem_v more_o of_o the_o corrupt_a food_n of_o the_o belly_n then_o of_o the_o eternal_a salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o our_o mind_n do_v ascend_v from_o the_o earth_n into_o heaven_n as_o it_o be_v by_o step_n for_o when_o as_o god_n vouchsave_v to_o employ_v himself_o to_o nourish_v the_o body_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o he_o be_v much_o more_o careful_a of_o the_o spiritual_a food_n therefore_o his_o so_o love_a kindness_n do_v raise_v uppe_o our_o faith_n high_o that_o many_o do_v take_v the_o greek_a word_n signify_v bread_n for_o more_o than_o substantial_a or_o supernatural_a be_v altogether_o absurd_a and_o the_o reason_n which_o erasmus_n bring_v be_v not_o only_o frivolous_a but_o also_o contrary_a to_o godliness_n it_o seem_v not_o probable_a to_o he_o that_o while_o we_o appear_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n christ_n shall_v command_v we_o to_o speak_v of_o nourishment_n as_o though_o the_o like_a be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v out_o of_o diverse_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o by_o the_o taste_n of_o these_o present_a good_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v into_o the_o hope_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n nay_o but_o this_o be_v a_o just_a trial_n of_o our_o faith_n when_o as_o we_o ask_v nothing_o from_o any_o other_o then_o from_o god_n and_o we_o do_v not_o only_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n but_o we_o also_o feel_v his_o fatherly_a goodness_n stretch_v out_o even_o to_o the_o least_o thing_n so_o that_o he_o refuse_v not_o to_o take_v care_n even_o of_o our_o flesh_n and_o that_o christ_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o corporal_a food_n may_v first_o be_v gather_v hereof_o that_o otherwise_o it_o shall_v be_v maim_v and_o no_o full_a or_o perfect_v prayer_n for_o we_o be_v

rule_v of_o right_a prayer_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o somewhat_o shall_v be_v command_v for_o the_o innumerable_a necessity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n also_o this_o word_n this_o day_n signify_v that_o we_o ask_v here_o of_o god_n that_o we_o need_v not_o care_v but_o for_o a_o day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o restrain_v and_o moderate_v the_o covetousness_n of_o earthly_a food_n whereunto_o we_o all_o be_v immoderate_o carry_v also_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o the_o figure_n synecdoche_n be_v use_v in_o this_o word_n bread_n for_o under_o it_o the_o hebrew_n do_v comprehend_v all_o kind_n of_o nourishment_n but_o it_o be_v use_v here_o more_o large_o for_o we_o do_v not_o only_o desire_v to_o have_v food_n

we_o be_v first_o command_v to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v defend_v and_o nourish_v in_o this_o world_n the_o life_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o because_o it_o need_v many_o help_n that_o

that_o they_o shall_v have_v give_v themselves_o to_o be_v teach_v and_o govern_v by_o he_o and_o to_o have_v go_v towards_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n of_o god_n he_o be_v their_o guide_n but_o they_o look_v for_o no_o more_o at_o his_o hand_n but_o to_o be_v well_o in_o this_o world_n furthermore_o this_o be_v to_o spoil_n christ_n of_o his_o principal_a power_n for_o he_o be_v give_v of_o the_o father_n for_o this_o cause_n and_o he_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o man_n for_o this_o cause_n that_o he_o may_v reform_v those_o who_o be_v endow_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n according_a to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v lead_v they_o into_o everlasting_a life_n be_v clothe_v with_o his_o righteousness_n therefore_o it_o skill_v much_o what_o we_o respect_v in_o christ_n his_o miracle_n for_o he_o y_fw-fr t_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o attain_v unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o stick_v fast_o in_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o present_a life_n he_o seek_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o fill_v his_o belly_n like_o as_o at_o this_o day_n many_o will_v glad_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n if_o be_v void_a of_o the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o cross_n it_o do_v only_o bring_v with_o it_o the_o delight_n of_o the_o flesh_n yea_o we_o see_v many_o offer_v themselves_o to_o serve_v christ_n that_o they_o may_v live_v more_o merry_o and_o free_o some_o for_o hope_n of_o gain_n some_o for_o fear_n some_o for_o their_o sake_n who_o they_o will_v please_v do_v profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christ_n his_o disciple_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o the_o seek_n of_o christ_n that_o contemn_v the_o world_n we_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o but_o because_o man_n be_v well_o persuade_v of_o themselves_o and_o do_v assure_v themselves_o that_o they_o seek_v christ_n very_o well_o when_o as_o they_o corrupt_v his_o whole_a power_n christ_n after_o his_o accustom_a manner_n do_v double_a the_o word_n very_o as_o if_o he_o will_v by_o a_o oath_n bring_v to_o light_v the_o vice_n which_o lie_v hide_v under_o our_o hypocrisy_n 27_o work_n he_o teach_v whereunto_o he_o will_v have_v his_o whole_o bend_v namely_o unto_o eternal_a life_n but_o because_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o grossness_n of_o nature_n we_o be_v always_o addict_v unto_o earthly_a thing_n therefore_o he_o do_v first_o correct_v that_o disease_n which_o be_v engender_v in_o we_o before_o he_o show_v what_o we_o must_v do_v this_o doctrine_n have_v be_v simple_a and_o plain_a labour_n for_o the_o incorruptible_a meat_n but_o because_o he_o know_v that_o man_n sense_n be_v tie_v unto_o earthly_a care_n he_o do_v first_o of_o all_o command_v they_o to_o acquit_v themselves_o of_o these_o snare_n that_o they_o may_v arise_v up_o into_o heaven_n not_o that_o he_o forbid_v those_o that_o be_v his_o to_o labour_n that_o they_o may_v get_v themselves_o daily_a food_n but_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v prefer_v the_o heavenly_a life_n before_o the_o earthly_a because_o this_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o live_v to_o the_o godly_a that_o be_v as_o stranger_n in_o the_o world_n they_o may_v make_v haste_n into_o the_o heavenly_a country_n second_o we_o must_v mark_v the_o drift_n of_o this_o place_n because_o they_o do_v corrupt_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v addict_v to_o their_o belly_n and_o earthly_a thing_n he_o show_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o seek_v in_o he_o and_o for_o what_o cause_n we_o ought_v to_o seek_v he_o and_o he_o use_v such_o metaphor_n as_o be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o communication_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o meat_n he_o may_v have_v say_v without_o use_v any_o figure_n it_o behove_v you_o set_v aside_o the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n to_o strive_v to_o attain_v unto_o the_o heavenly_a life_n but_o because_o they_o run_v to_o meat_n like_o beast_n christ_n frame_v his_o speech_n metaphorical_o and_o call_v all_o that_o meat_n whatsoever_o do_v appertain_v unto_o newness_n of_o life_n we_o know_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v feed_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n while_o that_o it_o work_v effectual_o in_o we_o through_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n what_o thing_n soever_o do_v nourish_v &_o further_a faith_n they_o be_v compare_v to_o meat_n he_o call_v this_o kind_n of_o meat_n uncorruptible_a and_o he_o say_v that_o it_o remain_v unto_o eternal_a life_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o feed_v for_o a_o day_n but_o that_o they_o be_v bring_v up_o unto_o the_o hope_n of_o bless_a immortality_n because_o the_o lord_n begin_v the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n that_o he_o may_v finish_v it_o untyll_o the_o day_n of_o christ._n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o may_v be_v to_o ken_v and_o pledge_n of_o eternal_a life_n for_o although_o the_o reprobate_a do_v oftentimes_o refuse_v this_o meat_n have_v taste_v thereof_o so_o that_o it_o do_v not_o remain_v in_o they_o yet_o do_v the_o faithful_a perceive_v this_o force_n of_o the_o soul_n abide_v when_o as_o they_o do_v perceive_v that_o force_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v never_o frail_a in_o his_o gift_n yea_o which_o never_o fall_v away_o their_o reason_n be_v frivolous_a who_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o word_n work_n that_o we_o do_v merit_v everlasting_a life_n by_o work_n for_o christ_n as_o we_o have_v say_v do_v figurative_o exhort_v man_n to_o apply_v their_o study_n unto_o the_o meditate_v upon_o the_o heavenly_a life_n whereas_o they_o be_v wont_v otherwise_o to_o be_v set_v whole_o upon_o the_o world_n and_o christ_n remove_v all_o doubt_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o give_v this_o meat_n for_o no_o man_n do_v obtain_v that_o by_o his_o own_o industry_n which_o he_o have_v of_o his_o gift_n there_o be_v some_o show_n of_o contrariety_n these_o word_n yet_o these_o two_o thing_n do_v easy_o agree_v together_o that_o the_o spiritual_a meat_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o stand_v we_o upon_o to_o endeavour_n to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o this_o so_o great_a a_o good_a thing_n for_o he_o have_v god_n the_o father_n seal_v he_o confirm_v the_o sentence_n next_o go_v before_o because_o he_o be_v appoint_v by_o his_o father_n to_o this_o end_n the_o old_a writer_n do_v false_o wrest_v this_o place_n unto_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o christ_n as_o if_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v seal_v because_o he_o be_v the_o print_n and_o express_v image_n of_o the_o father_n for_o he_o do_v not_o entreat_v in_o this_o place_n subtle_o of_o

metaphor_n allude_v unto_o the_o ancient_a custom_n for_o they_o seal_v that_o with_o ring_n which_o they_o will_v establish_v with_o their_o authority_n so_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v not_o seem_v
