do_v as_o they_o do_v if_o they_o do_v but_o think_v that_o these_o speech_n and_o deed_n shall_v come_v to_o judgement_n as_o the_o bird_n guide_v her_o flight_n with_o her_o train_n so_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v best_a direct_v by_o a_o continual_a recourse_n unto_o his_o end_n the_o think_n of_o death_n have_v make_v many_o sin_n avoid_v like_o the_o devil_n when_o christ_n allege_v scripture_n 4._o it_o be_v like_o a_o strainer_n all_o the_o thought_n and_o speech_n and_o action_n which_o come_v through_o it_o be_v cleanse_v and_o purify_v like_o a_o cloth_n which_o come_v out_o of_o the_o water_n see_v then_o that_o so_o much_o fruit_n grow_v of_o one_o stalk_n which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o our_o day_n let_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o harvest_n we_o have_v lose_v which_o happy_o before_o this_o day_n never_o pray_v with_o moses_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n what_o if_o we_o have_v die_v in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o ignorance_n like_o judas_n which_o hang_v himself_o before_o he_o can_v see_v the_o passion_n or_o resurrection_n 5._o or_o ascension_n of_o christ_n but_o god_n have_v care_v for_o we_o more_o than_o we_o have_v care_v for_o ourselves_o we_o shall_v have_v number_v our_o day_n and_o sin_n too_o but_o alas_o how_o many_o day_n have_v we_o spend_v and_o yet_o never_o think_v why_o any_o day_n be_v give_v we_o but_o as_o the_o old_a year_n go_v and_o a_o new_a year_n come_v so_o we_o think_v that_o a_o new_a will_v follow_v that_o and_o so_o we_o think_v that_o another_o will_v come_v after_o this_o and_o so_o they_o think_v which_o be_v dead_a already_o this_o be_v not_o to_o number_v our_o day_n but_o to_o provoke_v god_n to_o shorten_v our_o day_n there_o be_v few_o here_o which_o have_v not_o see_v twenty_o year_n now_o if_o we_o have_v but_o every_o year_n learn_v one_o virtue_n since_o we_o be_v bear_v we_o may_v by_o this_o time_n have_v be_v like_o saint_n among_o man_n but_o the_o time_n be_v yet_o to_o come_v when_o we_o must_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n to_o riches_n &_o pleasure_n we_o have_v apply_v our_o heart_n and_o our_o eye_n and_o our_o ear_n and_o our_o hand_n too_o but_o to_o wisdom_n we_o have_v not_o apply_v our_o heart_n there_o may_v be_v many_o cause_n but_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o cause_n if_o we_o have_v number_v our_o day_n for_o sure_o if_o a_o man_n can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o this_o be_v his_o last_o day_n as_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v not_o defer_v his_o repentance_n until_o to_o morrow_n if_o he_o can_v think_v that_o this_o be_v his_o last_o meal_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v eat_v he_o will_v not_o surfeit_v if_o he_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o word_n which_o he_o do_v speak_v to_o day_n shall_v be_v the_o last_o that_o ever_o he_o shall_v speak_v he_o will_v not_o offend_v with_o his_o tongue_n if_o he_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o this_o sermon_n shall_v be_v the_o last_o sermon_n that_o ever_o he_o shall_v

and_o the_o ear_n may_v apply_v itself_o and_o the_o hand_n may_v apply_v itself_o work_v while_o it_o be_v light_a i_o can_v but_o teach_v you_o with_o word_n as_o john_n baptise_a with_o water_n as_o moses_n pray_v the_o lord_n to_o teach_v he_o to_o number_v his_o day_n so_o you_o must_v pray_v the_o lord_n to_o teach_v you_o to_o number_v your_o day_n and_o now_o i_o lead_v you_o to_o number_v your_o day_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o twenty_o year_n to_o serve_v god_n will_v thou_o not_o live_v twenty_o year_n like_o a_o christian_a that_o thou_o may_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n like_o a_o angel_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o ten_o year_n to_o serve_v he_o will_v thou_o not_o serve_v ten_o year_n for_o heaven_n which_o will_v serve_v twenty_o year_n for_o a_o farm_n it_o may_v be_v that_o thou_o have_v but_o five_o year_n to_o serve_v god_n will_v thou_o spend_v five_o year_n well_o to_o redeem_v all_o thy_o year_n for_o five_o yet_o god_n do_v know_v whether_o many_o here_o have_v so_o long_o to_o repent_v for_o all_o the_o year_n which_o they_o have_v spend_v in_o sin_n if_o thou_o be_v bear_v but_o to_o day_n thy_o journey_n be_v not_o a_o hundred_o year_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o man_n half_a thy_o time_n be_v spend_v already_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o old_a man_n than_o thou_o be_v draw_v to_o thy_o inn_n and_o thy_o race_n be_v but_o a_o breath_n therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o find_v they_o sleep_v 40_o can_v you_o not_o watch_v one_o hour_n so_o i_o say_v to_o myself_o and_o to_o you_o can_v we_o not_o pray_v can_v we_o not_o suffer_v a_o little_a while_n he_o which_o be_v tire_v can_v crawl_v a_o little_a way_n a_o little_a far_o one_o step_n more_o for_o a_o kingdom_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v not_o have_v man_n know_v when_o they_o shall_v die_v because_o they_o shall_v make_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n have_v no_o more_o certainty_n of_o one_o hour_n than_o another_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v watch_v because_o you_o know_v not_o when_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v to_o take_v you_o or_o to_o judge_v you_o happy_a be_v they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o keep_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o death_n be_v the_o last_o upon_o earth_n that_o the_o time_n of_o man_n be_v set_v that_o his_o race_n be_v short_a that_o he_o think_v not_o of_o it_o that_o if_o he_o do_v remember_v it_o it_o will_v make_v he_o apply_v his_o mind_n to_o good_a as_o he_o do_v to_o evil_a and_o now_o i_o end_v as_o i_o begin_v the_o lord_n teach_v we_o to_o number_v our_o day_n that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n amen_n finis_fw-la a_o looking-glass_n for_o drunkard_n gen._n 9_o 20._o 21._o 20_o noah_n also_o begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n and_o

his_o sin_n and_o then_o of_o his_o curse_n in_o his_o brethren_n first_o of_o their_o reverence_n and_o then_o of_o their_o blessing_n now_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o father_n and_o after_o of_o his_o child_n then_o say_v moses_n noah_n begin_v to_o be_v a_o husbandman_n this_o be_v the_o first_o name_n which_o be_v give_v to_o noah_n after_o the_o flood_n he_o be_v call_v a_o husbandman_n and_o the_o first_o work_n which_o be_v mention_v be_v the_o plant_n of_o a_o vineyard_n one_o will_v think_v when_o all_o man_n be_v drown_v with_o the_o flood_n and_o none_o leave_v alive_a to_o possess_v the_o earth_n but_o noah_n and_o his_o son_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v find_v himself_o something_a else_o to_o do_v than_o to_o plant_v vineyard_n and_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v have_v entitle_v he_o king_n of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o a_o husbandman_n of_o the_o earth_n see_v there_o be_v no_o such_o man_n as_o noah_n be_v which_o have_v more_o in_o his_o hand_n than_o any_o king_n have_v in_o the_o world_n or_o shall_v have_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o hereby_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v show_v that_o god_n do_v not_o respect_n king_n for_o their_o title_n nor_o man_n for_o their_o riches_n as_o we_o do_v and_o therefore_o he_o name_v noah_n after_o the_o work_n which_o he_o do_v not_o after_o the_o possession_n which_o he_o have_v a_o husbandman_n it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o their_o age_n and_o we_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v see_v now_o a_o king_n go_v to_o plough_v a_o noble_a man_n drive_v the_o team_n a_o gentleman_n keep_v sheep_n he_o shall_v be_v scorn_v for_o his_o labour_n more_o than_o noah_n be_v for_o his_o drunkenness_n yet_o when_o we_o read_v how_o this_o monarch_n of_o the_o world_n think_v no_o scorn_n to_o play_v the_o husbandman_n we_o consider_v nor_o his_o princely_a call_n nor_o his_o ancient_a year_n nor_o his_o large_a possession_n to_o commend_v his_o industry_n or_o modesty_n or_o lowly_a mind_n therein_o which_o may_v teach_v we_o humility_n though_o we_o learn_v to_o disdain_v husbandry_n of_o who_o will_v we_o learn_v to_o be_v humble_a if_o king_n

of_o one_o and_o another_o say_v that_o the_o name_n of_o his_o second_o wife_n do_v signify_v a_o shadow_n because_o she_o be_v not_o a_o wife_n but_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o wife_n for_o this_o

only_o two_o for_o this_o cause_n king_n solomon_n call_v the_o whorish_a woman_n a_o strange_a woman_n 16._o to_o show_v that_o she_o shall_v be_v a_o stranger_n unto_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v

which_o sow_v another_o man_n ground_n 22._o other_o sow_n for_o a_o harvest_n but_o they_o sow_v that_o which_o they_o dare_v not_o reap_v therefore_o child_n bear_v in_o wedlock_n be_v count_v god_n

that_o he_o do_v curse_v and_o not_o bless_v such_o increase_n therefore_o we_o read_v not_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o one_o bastard_n that_o come_v to_o any_o good_a bastard_n but_o only_o jephtah_n 1._o and_o to_o show_v that_o no_o inheritance_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o in_o heaven_n curse_n they_o have_v no_o inheritance_n in_o earth_n neither_o be_v count_v of_o the_o

a_o sore_a punishment_n upon_o he_o which_o do_v commit_v uncleanness_n after_o marriage_n 10._o then_o upon_o he_o which_o be_v not_o marry_v 22._o because_o he_o sin_v fornicator_n although_o he_o have_v the_o remedy_n of_o sin_n like_o a_o rich_a thief_n which_o steal_v and_o have_v no_o need_n now_o if_o marriage_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n then_o unless_o minister_n may_v commit_v the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n minister_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o may_v use_v the_o remedy_n as_o well_o as_o other_o for_o as_o it_o be_v better_a for_o one_o man_n to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v so_o it_o be_v better_a for_o all_o man_n to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v marriage_n be_v honourable_a among_o all_o man_n 9_o and_o again_o 4._o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o fornication_n let_v every_o man_n have_v his_o wife_n 7._o and_o as_o though_o he_o do_v foresee_v that_o some_o will_v except_v the_o minister_n in_o time_n to_o come_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o timothy_n the_o three_o chapter_n and_o second_o verse_n he_o speak_v more_o precise_o of_o the_o minister_n wife_n then_o of_o any_o other_o 2._o say_v let_v he_o be_v the_o husband_n of_o one_o wife_n and_o lest_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o by_o one_o wife_n he_o mean_v one_o benefice_n like_o the_o papist_n he_o expound_v himself_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n and_o say_v that_o he_o must_v be_v one_o that_o can_v rule_v his_o house_n well_o and_o his_o child_n sure_a god_n will_v not_o have_v these_o child_n to_o be_v bastard_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v like_a that_o he_o allow_v the_o minister_n a_o wife_n therefore_o paul_n say_v well_o 6._o that_o he_o have_v no_o commandment_n for_o virginity_n for_o virginity_n can_v be_v command_v because_o it_o be_v a_o special_a gift_n but_o not_o a_o special_a gift_n to_o minister_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bind_v more_o than_o other_o a_o peculiar_a gift_n may_v not_o be_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n because_o none_o can_v use_v it_o but_o they_o which_o have_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o 1._o cor._n 7._o 17._o he_o say_v 17._o as_o god_n have_v distribute_v to_o every_o man_n so_o let_v he_o walk_v that_o be_v if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o continency_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o marry_v &_o therefore_o paul_n command_v in_o the_o seven_o verse_n whether_o he_o be_v minister_v or_o other_o if_o they_o can_v not_o abstain_v let_v they_o marry_v as_o though_o they_o tempt_v god_n if_o they_o marry_v not_o the_o law_n be_v general_a it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o 18._o exempt_n one_o order_n of_o man_n no_o more_o than_o another_o 11._o and_o again_o christ_n speak_v of_o chastity_n say_v all_o man_n can_v receive_v this_o thing_n therefore_o unless_o we_o know_v that_o this_o order_n of_o man_n can_v receive_v this_o thing_n christ_n forbid_v to_o bind_v they_o more_o than_o other_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o priest_n be_v marry_v that_o teach_v the_o law_n so_o christ_n choose_v apostle_n that_o be_v marry_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o papist_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 3._o for_o paul_n call_v the_o forbid_v of_o marriage_n the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n a_o fit_a title_n for_o all_o their_o book_n last_o if_o marriage_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o sin_n than_o marriage_n itself_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o if_o marriage_n itself_o be_v a_o sin_n 8._o we_o may_v not_o marry_v for_o any_o cause_n because_o we_o must_v not_o do_v the_o least_o evil_a that_o the_o great_a good_n may_v come_v of_o it_o and_o if_o marriage_n be_v not_o a_o sin_n than_o the_o offensive_a duty_n of_o marriage_n be_v not_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o secret_a of_o marriage_n be_v not_o evil_a and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v 4._o not_o only_a marriage_n be_v honourable_a but_o the_o bed_n be_v honourable_a that_o be_v even_o the_o action_n of_o marriage_n be_v as_o lawful_a as_o marriage_n beside_o 8._o paul_n say_v let_v the_o husband_n give_v unto_o the_o wise_a due_a benevolence_n here_o be_v a_o commandment_n to_o yield_v this_o duty_n that_o which_o be_v command_v be_v lawful_a and_o not_o to_o do_v it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o commandment_n therefore_o marriage_n be_v institute_v before_o any_o sin_n be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o abuse_v but_o because_o this_o be_v rare_a therefore_o after_o woman_n be_v deliver_v etc._n god_n appoint_v they_o to_o be_v purify_v show_v that_o some_o stain_n or_o other_o do_v creep_v into_o this_o action_n which_o have_v need_v to_o be_v repent_v 5._o and_o therefore_o when_o they_o pray_v paul_n will_v not_o have_v they_o come_v together_o lest_o their_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hinder_v the_o three_o cause_n be_v to_o avoid_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o solitariness_n signify_v in_o these_o word_n cause_n it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o 2._o as_o though_o he_o have_v say_v this_o life_n will_v be_v miserable_a and_o irksome_a and_o unpleasant_a to_o man_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v he_o a_o wife_n to_o company_n his_o trouble_n if_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o than_o it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n to_o have_v a_o fellow_n therefore_o as_o god_n create_v a_o pair_n of_o all_o other_o kind_n so_o he_o create_v a_o pair_n of_o this_o kind_n we_o say_v that_o one_o be_v none_o because_o he_o can_v be_v few_o than_o one_o he_o can_v be_v lesser_a than_o one_o he_o can_v be_v weak_a than_o one_o and_o therefore_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v 10._o woe_n to_o he_o which_o be_v alone_o that_o be_v he_o which_o be_v alone_o shall_v have_v woe_n thought_n and_o care_n and_o fear_n will_v come_v to_o he_o because_o

do_v this_o in_o my_o remembrance_n here_o be_v our_o work_n as_o christ_n have_v do_v so_o must_v we_o do_v so_o we_o minister_v and_o so_o you_o receive_v we_o can_v give_v you_o nothing_o but_o that_o which_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o as_o paul_n say_v therefore_o if_o christ_n do_v not_o give_v his_o mortal_a body_n which_o stand_v before_o they_o and_o can_v not_o profit_v they_o

not_o a_o true_a body_n but_o a_o fantastical_a body_n because_o it_o may_v be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o one_o time_n for_o if_o his_o body_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v

that_o the_o wicked_a and_o profane_a &_o reprobate_a may_v receive_v christ_n as_o well_o as_o the_o godly_a because_o they_o have_v a_o mouth_n to_o eat_v as_o well_o as_o the_o best_a five_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n sacrifice_n once_o for_o all_o 12._o be_v not_o sufficient_a because_o we_o must_v sacrifice_v he_o again_o and_o break_v his_o body_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n as_o the_o jew_n crucify_v he_o upon_o the_o cross_n six_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o body_n of_o our_o redeemer_n have_v a_o part_n of_o our_o redemption_n as_o

i_o may_v call_v the_o merciful_a article_n because_o it_o be_v the_o quintessence_n and_o sweetness_n of_o all_o the_o twelve_o therefore_o who_o but_o antichrist_n dare_v deprave_v it_o if_o there_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o our_o work_n or_o by_o our_o pilgrimage_n or_o by_o our_o mass_n or_o by_o our_o penance_n let_v christ_n never_o be_v call_v a_o forgiver_n but_o a_o

a_o whole_a sermon_n the_o hearer_n can_v pick_v out_o one_o note_n more_o than_o he_o can_v gather_v himself_o and_o many_o loathe_v preach_v as_o the_o jew_n abhor_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o

peter_n hear_v three_o crow_n before_o he_o feel_v any_o remorse_n so_o judas_n see_v his_o lord_n apprepend_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o accuse_v and_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o mock_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o than_o he_o see_v he_o buffet_v &_o yet_o he_o repent_v not_o at_o last_o he_o see_v he_o condemn_v and_o then_o say_v matthew_n he_o repent_v like_o one_o which_o slay_v his_o friend_n in_o his_o rage_n and_o sorrow_v when_o it_o be_v past_a in_o the_o sixth_o of_o genesis_n god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o god_n repent_v not_o like_a man_n so_o here_o the_o wicked_a be_v say_v to_o repent_v but_o the_o wicked_a repent_v not_o like_o the_o faithful_a but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o esau_n that_o he_o seek_v repentance_n so_o they_o may_v be_v rather_o say_v to_o repent_v than_o to_o repent_v in_o deed_n for_o if_o judas_n have_v repent_v like_o peter_n he_o shall_v have_v be_v forgive_v like_o peter_n but_o to_o show_v that_o he_o do_v not_o repent_v well_o when_o he_o have_v commit_v one_o sin_n he_o add_v another_o to_o it_o for_o when_o he_o have_v murder_v his_o master_n he_o murder_v himself_o too_o therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o he_o repent_v i_o think_v he_o repent_v so_o as_o most_o usurer_n repent_v upon_o their_o deathbed_n there_o be_v a_o shame_n of_o sin_n &_o guilt_n of_o conscience_n &_o fear_v of_o judgement_n even_o in_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o hell_n which_o the_o wicked_a feel_v even_o as_o peace_n of_o conscience_n &_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v a_o foretaste_n of_o heaven_n which_o the_o godly_a feel_v before_o they_o come_v thither_o so_o judas_n be_v displease_v with_o the_o uglines_n of_o his_o treachery_n and_o have_v a_o misshape_a sorrow_n like_o a_o bear_n whelp_n but_o without_o any_o conversion_n to_o god_n or_o hope_v of_o mercy_n or_o prayer_n for_o pardon_n or_o purpose_n to_o amend_v only_o he_o feel_v a_o shame_n and_o guilt_n and_o anguish_n in_o his_o heart_n which_o be_v rather_o a_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n than_o a_o repentance_n for_o his_o sin_n and_o a_o preparative_n to_o hell_n which_o he_o be_v go_v unto_o for_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o despair_n of_o mercy_n be_v sin_n &_o punishment_n for_o sin_n too_o but_o true_a repentance_n be_v such_o a_o sorrow_n for_o one_o sin_n as_o breed_v a_o dislike_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o move_v to_o pray_v and_o resolve_v to_o amend_v which_o fall_v upon_o none_o but_o the_o elect_a and_o therefore_o paul_n call_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o reprobate_n 5._o a_o heart_n which_o can_v repent_v but_o if_o the_o papist_n doctrine_n of_o repentance_n be_v true_a there_o be_v nothing_o want_v in_o judas_n repentance_n for_o in_o he_o may_v be_v find_v all_o the_o part_n of_o their_o repentance_n for_o we_o see_v in_o this_o reprobate_n contrition_n of_o heart_n confession_n of_o mouth_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o work_n which_o be_v all_o the_o papist_n repentance_n for_o contrition_n it_o be_v say_v he_o repent_v for_o confession_n he_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v for_o satisfaction_n he_o restore_v his_o money_n again_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v judas_n the_o son_n of_o perdition_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n tell_v the_o lawyer_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o his_o obedience_n so_o judas_n tell_v the_o papist_n that_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v in_o their_o repentance_n that_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o a_o man_n to_o god_n &_o change_v of_o mind_n when_o a_o sinner_n renounce_v himself_o for_o shame_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o yield_v to_o righteousness_n with_o as_o great_a love_n as_o ever_o he_o love_v wickedness_n if_o judas_n have_v repent_v so_o he_o will_v rather_o have_v suffer_v pain_n like_o job_n than_o by_o unlawful_a mean_n rid_v himself_o out_o of_o pain_n like_o cain_n which_o think_v to_o prevent_v god_n judgment_n against_o he_o this_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o repentance_n but_o a_o sign_n of_o despair_n therefore_o let_v every_o one_o learn_v this_o that_o so_o long_o as_o god_n mercy_n be_v great_a than_o man_n iniquity_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o despair_v but_o to_o hope_v for_o why_o do_v

3._o how_o many_o sin_n come_v with_o adam_n and_o how_o many_o curse_n come_v with_o sin_n so_o many_o mercy_n come_v with_o christ_n to_o answer_v they_o both_o therefore_o when_o paul_n can_v not_o

number_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o the_o less_o i_o can_v number_v they_o the_o more_o they_o be_v thus_o much_o why_o paul_n call_v they_o brethren_n and_o why_o he_o beseech_v they_o and_o why_o he_o remember_v they_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o way_n he_o commence_v his_o suit_n that_o they_o will_v give_v their_o body_n to_o god_n he_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o soul_n though_o he_o will_v have_v they_o give_v their_o soul_n too_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n but_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o the_o body_n be_v a_o servant_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n both_o be_v too_o little_a and_o therefore_o one_o be_v not_o enough_o and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o soul_n too_o 20_o but_o here_o he_o speak_v the_o rather_o of_o the_o body_n to_o show_v that_o their_o battle_n will_v be_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v unwilling_a to_o this_o sacrifice_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v frail_a 43._o that_o be_v the_o flesh_n will_v not_o afford_v any_o thing_n to_o god_n though_o he_o do_v never_o so_o much_o for_o she_o yet_o she_o be_v like_o churlish_a naball_n which_o will_v do_v nothing_o again_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n urge_v so_o to_o give_v the_o body_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v draw_v forward_o that_o which_o he_o draw_v backward_o and_o let_v the_o conversion_n begin_v where_o sin_n have_v his_o root_n if_o you_o can_v win_v the_o flesh_n which_o be_v like_o nabal_n the_o soul_n will_v come_v like_o abigail_n and_o bring_v her_o train_n with_o she_o now_o to_o show_v how_o we_o shall_v give_v our_o body_n to_o god_n the_o apostle_n say_v give_v your_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n to_o god_n 13._o as_o if_o you_o do_v sacrifice_v they_o the_o law_n appoint_v a_o

therefore_o if_o you_o must_v give_v your_o body_n 8._o you_o must_v geve_v eye_n &_o ear_n &_o tongue_n &_o hand_n and_o foot_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o heart_n say_v paul_n do_v but_o believe_v because_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o believe_v therefore_o he_o add_v the_o mouth_n do_v confess_v as_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o confess_v unto_o salvation_n as_o to_o believe_v unto_o justification_n so_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o sacrifice_v the_o tongue_n as_o the_o heart_n what_o then_o be_v the_o tongue_n enough_o nay_o say_v christ_n he_o which_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o
