we_o say_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v by_o reason_n he_o have_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o his_o death_n everlasting_a life_n and_o beside_o he_o show_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o he_o

that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o principal_a or_o else_o that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o whole_a but_o the_o prophet_n show_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v thorough_o satisfy_v never_o

and_o so_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v here_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n never_o respect_v his_o own_o person_n

place_n as_o for_o the_o second_o point_n which_o be_v propound_v it_o be_v here_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v beat_v scourge_v and_o afflict_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o

that_o he_o shall_v see_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o stripe_n affliction_n and_o death_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v before_o say_v but_o also_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o travail_n and_o grief_n of_o his_o soul_n for_o the_o word_n which_o he_o use_v import_v as_o much_o and_o therefore_o he_o mean_v to_o express_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o crucify_v after_o he_o have_v abode_n the_o gréevous_a torment_n in_o his_o body_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v go_v a_o great_a deal_n far_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v heavy_a and_o sorry_a for_o we_o and_o suffer_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v even_o subject_a thereto_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o to_o say_v true_o to_o what_o purpose_n have_v it_o be_v if_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v but_o open_o

matter_n why_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o be_v that_o we_o may_v feel_v and_o be_v full_o persuade_v that_o death_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o deadly_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v feel_v these_o point_n in_o himself_o &_o so_o come_v before_o god_n may_v be_v as_o a_o wretched_a malefactor_n before_o his_o judge_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n bring_v not_o with_o it_o a_o temporal_a death_n only_o but_o also_o a_o feel_v of_o the_o enmity_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v drive_v thereto_o for_o our_o deliverance_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o the_o prophet_n at_o this_o present_a declare_v unto_o us._n and_o here_o we_o see_v a_o

we_o may_v also_o very_a well_o understande_v what_o care_n and_o zeal_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v over_o our_o salvation_n when_o as_o he_o force_v not_o to_o make_v his_o own_o body_n answer_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o also_o to_o bring_v himself_o into_o such_o a_o horrible_a fear_n as_o one_o that_o shall_v feel_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n who_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o as_o upon_o he_o who_o have_v deserve_v the_o curse_n which_o god_n have_v pronounce_v from_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n to_o swallow_v we_o up_o into_o hell_n and_o a_o gulf_n utter_o to_o destroy_v us._n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v feel_v all_o this_o now_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n when_o we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v thereby_o sweat_v water_n and_o blood_n 22.3_o luk._n 22.3_o and_o that_o the_o angel_n come_v down_o to_o comfort_v he_o this_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v a_o wonderful_a

moreover_o we_o be_v present_o to_o gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o although_o we_o must_v die_v we_o must_v

because_o that_o as_o often_o as_o we_o read_v or_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v remember_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o

of_o their_o doctrine_n it_o be_v both_o unthankful_o and_o wicked_o do_v of_o us._n now_o it_o be_v here_o say_v that_o before_o the_o apostle_n preach_v the_o gospel_n throughout_o the_o world_n god_n send_v down_o his_o holy_a spirit_n upon_o they_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o they_o deliver_v nothing_o as_o from_o themselves_o but_o faithful_o distribute_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v command_v they_o we_o see_v then_o to_o what_o purpose_n this_o present_a history_n must_v serve_v our_o turn_n for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o assure_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v

leave_v the_o figure_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o truth_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o altar_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v 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

the_o prophet_n joel_n soon_o after_o set_v down_o in_o this_o place_n that_o god_n will_v do_v wonderful_a thing_n in_o heaven_n above_o and_o sign_n in_o the_o earth_n below_o blood_n fire_n and_o vapour_n of_o smoke_n that_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o darkness_n and_o the_o moon_n into_o blood_n these_o word_n show_v that_o great_a and_o marvelous_a thing_n must_v come_v to_o pass_v whenas_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v manifest_v himself_o and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o because_o the_o the_o world_n shall_v then_o be_v change_v for_o they_o which_o will_v follow_v jesus_n christ_n must_v whole_o alter_v their_o nature_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n call_v the_o latter_a day_n moreover_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v for_o a_o day_n

to_o consider_v that_o the_o great_a benefit_n which_o we_o can_v possible_o have_v be_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a

this_o gift_n jesus_n christ_n be_v take_v from_o we_o and_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o be_v clothe_v with_o he_o all_o whatsoever_o we_o do_v tend_v to_o our_o condemnation_n wherefore_o god_n say_v that_o we_o can_v be_v his_o child_n without_o we_o be_v bedeaw_v and_o sprinkle_v with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o if_o we_o be_v not_o his_o child_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v partaker_n in_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n let_v we_o then_o conclude_v hereupon_o that_o unto_o the_o time_n that_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o be_v reprobate_a and_o the_o child_n of_o perdition_n 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 scripture_n which_o we_o can_v no_o way_n have_v but_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o lift_v up_o our_o mind_n on_o high_a we_o be_v fast_o tie_v to_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o hell_n and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v 8.14_o rom._n 8.14_o that_o they_o which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n guide_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n declare_v in_o his_o word_n be_v i_o say_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o they_o without_o all_o doubt_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o follow_v their_o carnal_a affection_n give_v themselves_o over_o to_o their_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o all_o those_o that_o will_v be_v

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 that_o although_o we_o strive_v always_o against_o his_o will_n yet_o cease_v he_o not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o offer_v himself_o unto_o all_o as_o it_o be_v here_o say_v by_o the_o prophet_n that_o

himself_o from_o the_o other_o evangelist_n that_o he_o stay_v and_o stand_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n more_o than_o the_o other_o evangelist_n do_v the_o other_o that_o with_o a_o

but_o that_o be_v rather_o brief_o and_o short_o as_o who_o have_v collect_v some_o small_a summary_n and_o abridgemente_n thereof_o 6.1.2_o john_n 6.1.2_o but_o s._n john_n make_v a_o long_a and_o

&_o feed_v so_o great_a a_o multitude_n for_o thereupon_o s._n john_n come_v to_o enter_v into_o speech_n and_o to_o show_v how_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o eternal_a life_n we_o see_v then_o this_o doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v declare_v at_o large_a by_o s._n john_n and_o that_o with_o a_o more_o great_a dilate_v &_o discourse_v thereon_o then_o be_v set_v out_o by_o the_o other_o evangelist_n yea_o we_o see_v that_o they_o quite_o and_o clean_o omit_v that_o doctrine_n so_o much_o also_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o rest_n for_o after_o that_o he_o have_v touch_v some_o miracle_n and_o history_n 18._o john_n 12._o to_o 18._o he_o always_o come_v back_o to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o take_v occasion_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o matter_n to_o handle_v and_o

the_o duty_n of_o every_o man_n as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o he_o to_o root_v and_o blot_v out_o this_o filthy_a infection_n and_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v all_o do_v god_n will_v have_v a_o number_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

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

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

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

be_v so_o let_v we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o that_o although_o there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n many_o pylate_n which_o refuse_v to_o learn_v in_o the_o school_n of_o god_n and_o to_o become_v

set_v before_o we_o because_o we_o know_v that_o the_o truth_n will_v not_o grow_v up_o in_o our_o mind_n by_o reason_n they_o be_v full_a of_o vanity_n and_o leasinge_n and_o we_o plunge_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o darkness_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n draw_v we_o out_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o the_o truth_n far_o pass_v our_o mind_n and_o power_n and_o that_o god_n must_v be_v our_o master_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o it_o &_o we_o also_o very_o young_a and_o feeble_a to_o receive_v that_o which_o he_o show_v we_o and_o let_v we_o hold_v this_o truth_n for_o so_o precious_a a_o jewel_n as_o that_o when_o we_o have_v compass_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n &_o think_v we_o have_v learn_v all_o that_o it_o be_v all_o but_o smoke_n and_o will_v

of_o now_o it_o be_v by_o &_o by_o say_v that_o as_o pilate_n be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o judgement_n seat_n his_o wife_n send_v unto_o he_o and_o pray_v he_o not_o to_o condenne_n jesus_n christ_n

of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o so_o forsomuch_o as_o his_o will_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v but_o it_o must_v also_o needs_o fall_v out_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n must_v be_v prove_v a_o just_a &_o a_o innocent_a man_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v conden_v for_o our_o sake_n of_o which_o condemnation_n we_o be_v guilty_a &_o that_o whensoever_o we_o hear_v of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v continual_o remember_v our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n hereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o pilate_n desire_v to_o let_v loose_a our_o lord_n jesus_n for_o although_o he_o have_v the_o chief_a authority_n without_o controlment_n yet_o because_o he_o be_v in_o a_o strange_a country_n and_o among_o a_o mutinous_a company_n yea_o &_o have_v a_o garrison_n in_o the_o town_n the_o sedition_n trouble_v he_o and_o here_o we_o see_v what_o the_o cause_n be_v why_o he_o will_v subtle_o &_o friendly_o proceed_v in_o the_o matter_n forsooth_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n that_o he_o will_v have_v appease_v the_o people_n then_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o offer_v they_o their_o ancient_a custom_n which_o be_v that_o every_o easter_n he_o shall_v let_v loose_a unto_o they_o whatsoever_o prisoner_n they_o will_v for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v die_v that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o shall_v be_v offer_v for_o our_o salvation_n &_o redemption_n god_n have_v but_o one_o only_a &_o plain_a will_n &_o meaning_n but_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o we_o &_o his_o proceed_n be_v so_o strange_a that_o we_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o cast_v down_o our_o eye_n and_o yet_o confess_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v suffer_v but_o not_o as_o man_n will_v but_o because_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o pawn_n of_o the_o infinite_a

therefore_o let_v we_o well_o consider_v of_o all_o these_o thing_n moreover_o in_o the_o end_n john_n say_v that_o although_o jesus_n christ_n be_v scourge_v yet_o that_o the_o people_n strain_a themselves_o to_o cry_v out_o the_o loud_o to_o have_v he_o put_v to_o death_n then_o pilate_n rehearse_v again_o that_o he_o hear_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o word_n that_o touch_v he_o and_o be_v more_o a_o fear_v of_o that_o than_o he_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 much_o as_o he_o be_v man_n let_v we_o note_v that_o this_o complaint_n feel_v and_o fear_v whereof_o we_o now_o speak_v have_v no_o manner_n of_o way_n derogate_a from_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o

the_o very_a true_a pattern_n of_o a_o right_n perfect_a and_o sound_o faith_n now_o it_o be_v here_o say_v that_o he_o be_v so_o sore_o torment_v as_o that_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n his_o father_n

i_o this_o proceed_v from_o a_o natural_a man_n conceit_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o touch_v weak_a flesh_n be_v as_o a_o man_n forsake_v of_o god_n &_o yet_o he_o give_v not_o over_o his_o trust_n that_o he_o have_v in_o he_o now_o in_o deed_n we_o see_v two_o point_n in_o these_o word_n which_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n seem_v clean_o contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o &_o yet_o they_o agree_v very_o well_o together_o for_o when_o he_o say_v my_o god_n my_o god_n with_o such_o a_o redouble_a he_o show_v therein_o the_o constancy_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o say_v not_o where_o be_v god_n what_o have_v he_o forsake_v i_o but_o he_o continual_o stick_v fast_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o he_o be_v persuade_v &_o full_o

lord_n jesus_n christ_n whenas_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o his_o extremity_n and_o torment_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n his_o father_n without_o hypocrisy_n because_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o he_o call_v on_o he_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v i_o say_v a_o sufficient_a declaration_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o redouble_v it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a and_o dangerous_a combat_n as_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o set_v himself_o against_o all_o the_o

eftsoon_o say_v why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o and_o this_o he_o speak_v according_a to_o man_n reach_n for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v choose_v but_o that_o he_o must_v grow_v to_o that_o point_n as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o yet_o not_o be_v overcome_v thereof_o according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o saint_n peter_n 2.24_o acts._n 2.24_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v keep_v under_o with_o the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o death_n have_v take_v hold_n of_o he_o as_o of_o a_o miserable_a wretched_a and_o oppress_v man_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o as_o say_v saint_n peter_n to_o be_v hold_v down_o and_o so_o he_o win_v the_o victory_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fight_n and_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a glory_n 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 call_v upon_o god_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o because_o he_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o frail_a man_n his_o faith_n be_v oftentimes_o shake_v as_o he_o confess_v himself_o howbeit_o there_o be_v a_o special_a matter_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n whereof_o we_o speak_v on_o sunday_n last_o and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o all_o his_o suffering_n be_v right_o square_v and_o order_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o integrity_n and_o pureness_n in_o who_o be_v no_o corruption_n of_o nature_n but_o it_o oftentimes_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o our_o sorrow_n yea_o our_o fear_n and_o care_n proceed_v from_o a_o just_a cause_n and_o yet_o they_o shall_v always_o be_v intermedle_v with_o sin_n because_o all_o our_o passion_n be_v corrupt_a but_o there_o be_v no_o unquietness_n nor_o yet_o disorder_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o torment_n be_v not_o such_o but_o that_o he_o have_v always_o a_o sure_a and_o a_o undoubted_a trust_n in_o god_n and_o so_o firm_o and_o constant_o call_v upon_o he_o because_o he_o right_o well_o know_v that_o he_o will_v save_v he_o even_o in_o the_o great_a extremity_n and_o thereupon_o it_o be_v say_v that_o some_o of_o those_o which_o be_v about_o he_o mock_v he_o this_o man_n say_v they_o call_v upon_o elias_n let_v we_o see_v and_o if_o elias_n will_v come_v &_o help_v he_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v

be_v he_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n 5.6_o 1._o john_n 5.6_o who_o by_o his_o sacrifice_n wrought_v our_o purgation_n and_o peace_n for_o the_o blot_n out_o of_o all_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 acknowledge_v our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n and_o why_o so_o because_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n be_v sufficient_a to_o blot_v out_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o our_o transgression_n it_o be_v 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 blood_n and_o the_o water_n which_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o church_n in_o which_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v perform_v in_o his_o death_n be_v allow_v and_o seal_v unto_o us._n for_o after_o he_o have_v suffer_v whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o full_o satisfy_v god_n his_o father_n by_o sanctifi_v and_o purchase_v we_o full_a righteousness_n he_o will_v that_o all_o the_o whole_a matter_n shall_v be_v witness_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o two_o sacrament_n of_o his_o own_o institution_n 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 baptism_n shall_v do_v we_o good_a let_v we_o go_v unto_o he_o who_o be_v crucify_v for_o we_o and_o when_o we_o will_v feel_v the_o fruit_n thereof_o let_v we_o run_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o will_v have_v we_o seek_v for_o every_o part_n and_o parcel_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o he_o without_o wander_v and_o whéel_v hither_o and_o thither_o and_o beside_o we_o have_v in_o the_o holy_a supper_n a_o testimony_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o
shepherd_n and_o that_o under_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n he_o present_v unto_o we_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n here_o than_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a perfection_n of_o our_o salvation_n when_o as_o we_o be_v thus_o cleanse_v and_o that_o god_n accept_v we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v pure_a and_o righteous_a and_o be_v so_o acquit_v before_o he_o as_o guiltless_a because_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n for_o us._n thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o must_v profit_v by_o the_o sacrament_n by_o direct_v our_o whole_a faith_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o not_o to_o incline_v unto_o creature_n we_o see_v also_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o suffer_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o let_v it_o be_v always_o fresh_a in_o our_o

this_o be_v in_o sum_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o concern_v the_o pierce_a of_o the_o side_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o beside_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o

although_o the_o soldier_n know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v yet_o god_n effectual_o execute_v that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v aswell_o by_o moses_n as_o by_o his_o prophet_n zachary_n we_o have_v already_o see_v the_o testimony_n of_o exodus_fw-la and_o saint_n john_n have_v also_o put_v too_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n zachary_n who_o word_n be_v these_o they_o shall_v see_v he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_a in_o deed_n god_n use_v in_o that_o a_o similitude_n for_o 12.20_o zach._n 12.20_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o the_o contemner_n of_o his_o word_n who_o heart_n be_v

notwithstanding_o it_o be_v against_o i_o they_o fight_v and_o whensoever_o they_o contemn_v and_o refuse_v my_o word_n after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v as_o if_o they_o wound_v i_o with_o the_o

pierce_v he_o in_o his_o mortal_a body_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o he_o be_v manifest_v to_o be_v the_o living_n god_n who_o be_v in_o all_o age_n speak_v of_o by_o his_o prophet_n since_o we_o

great_a sum_n of_o money_n of_o myrrh_n and_o aloe_n and_o bury_v he_o in_o a_o new_a tomb_n which_o he_o have_v new_a make_v and_o hew_v out_o of_o a_o rock_n in_o this_o sepulchre_n or_o tomb_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n first_o begin_v to_o show_v the_o issue_n of_o his_o death_n which_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v very_o speedy_o glorify_v himself_o in_o his_o resurrection_n and_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n eftsoon_o to_o manifest_v it_o and_o here_o we_o see_v a_o infallible_a testimony_n that_o amongst_o so_o many_o confusion_n which_o we_o read_v in_o this_o history_n that_o may_v trouble_v we_o and_o as_o it_o be_v shake_v our_o faith_n we_o may_v perceive_v that_o god_n have_v always_o care_n of_o his_o only_a son_n as_o of_o the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o of_o his_o well-beloved_a not_o to_o the_o end_n only_o that_o we_o shall_v trust_v in_o he_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v also_o by_o little_a &_o little_a look_n unto_o it_o that_o since_o we_o

but_o by_o the_o way_n this_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v why_o our_o lord_n jesus_n will_v be_v so_o sumptuous_o bury_v for_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o it_o be_v a_o superfluous_a thing_n to_o use_v

to_o correct_v his_o disciple_n whenas_o he_o send_v woman_n to_o teach_v they_o because_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o serve_v they_o to_o no_o purpose_n when_o it_o come_v

it_o because_o we_o shall_v feel_v our_o fraylnes_n whenas_o god_n manife_v himself_o unto_o we_o and_o where_o before_o we_o be_v presumptuos_o puff_v up_o and_o so_o embolden_v as_o that_o we_o

whereunto_o he_o be_v call_v thus_o we_o see_v the_o very_a natural_a and_o true_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n that_o to_o the_o outward_a show_n our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v but_o as_o a_o twig_n in_o

which_o will_v withdraw_v we_o from_o come_v unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a point_n for_o we_o even_o at_o this_o day_n for_o as_o we_o have_v say_v we_o

here_o below_o may_v be_v any_o let_n why_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v not_o rule_v over_o us._n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o
think_v only_o before_o baptism_n for_o thus_o they_o reason_n little_a child_n say_v they_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o be_v pardon_v of_o original_a sin_n in_o baptism_n by_o the_o

to_o make_v we_o acceptable_a unto_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o blot_v out_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o we_o ourselves_o also_o must_v make_v recompense_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o devise_v of_o their_o work_n of_o supererogation_n as_o to_o wander_v up_o &_o down_o like_o rog_n a_o pilgrimage_n to_o have_v many_o trental_n of_o mass_n &_o such_o like_a devilish_a

down_o into_o hell_n mouth_n thus_o we_o see_v whether_o their_o devilish_a devotion_n which_o they_o call_v good_a lead_v they_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o word_n of_o the_o

&_o passion_n have_v we_o this_o let_v we_o then_o with_o bold_a cheer_n &_o countenance_n come_v before_o our_o god_n &_o yet_o not_o so_o but_o that_o we_o must_v always_o humble_v ourselves_o &_o

do_v nothing_o else_o but_o groan_v and_o be_v utter_o confound_v and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n the_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n now_o s._n matthew_n allege_v this_o place_n 8.17_o mat._n 8.17_o when_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o all_o the_o disease_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n heal_v how_o he_o make_v the_o blind_a to_o see_v the_o lame_a to_o go_v the_o deaf_a to_o hear_v set_v a_o foot_n such_o as_o be_v half_o dead_a &_o sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n &_o cast_v devil_n out_o of_o man_n body_n this_o say_v he_o declare_v 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 world_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n heal_v the_o sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n but_o especial_o raise_v the_o dead_a &_o that_o he_o also_o heal_v all_o manner_n of_o disease_n let_v we_o understand_v even_o in_o the_o view_n of_o the_o eye_n according_a to_o our_o gross_a &_o weak_a capacity_n that_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v our_o spiritual_a physician_n &_o let_v we_o also_o learn_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o all_o the_o vice_n whereunto_o we_o be_v incline_v be_v so_o many_o corruption_n in_o our_o soul_n and_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

into_o we_o &_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o must_v give_v we_o also_o our_o hear_n to_o be_v short_a when_o we_o shall_v join_v the_o word_n of_o s._n matthew_n with_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n be_v full_a of_o corruption_n &_o villainy_n &_o that_o there_o be_v no_o health_n in_o we_o &_o our_o soul_n full_a of_o all_o deadly_a sin_n but_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v rid_v we_o of_o they_o all_o &_o that_o in_o come_v to_o he_o we_o shall_v find_v health_n when_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v thus_o join_v one_o with_o a_o other_o then_o shall_v we_o understand_v that_o except_o we_o have_v recourse_n unto_o this_o redeemer_n we_o must_v needs_o always_o lie_v stone_n still_o in_o our_o sin_n and_o misery_n &_o rot_v altogether_o in_o they_o and_o thereupon_o he_o go_v on_o far_a and_o say_v that_o we_o have_v all_o decline_v &_o go_v astray_o here_o the_o prophet_n mean_v better_a &_o more_o lively_a to_o tell_v as_o yesterday_o we_o handle_v it_o that_o we_o can_v in_o good_a earnest_n feel_v our_o necessity_n to_o be_v heal_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n until_o such_o time_n as_o every_o of_o we_o have_v true_o examine_v his_o own_o estate_n &_o know_v what_o be_v within_o he_o for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v so_o cold_a &_o slack_a 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 these_o common_a drunkard_n be_v knoden_v together_o in_o their_o intemperancy_n &_o will_v never_o give_v over_o until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o gnashe_v their_o tooth_n &_o be_v able_a to_o do_v no_o more_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v to_o they_o of_o physic_n &_o physician_n he_o shall_v be_v but_o scorn_v for_o his_o labour_n they_o will_v wag_v the_o head_n yea_o &_o despise_v all_o help_n now_o there_o be_v not_o a_o worse_a kind_n of_o drunkenness_n than_o this_o blockishness_n wherein_o all_o miserable_a sinner_n be_v overwhelm_v until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o feel_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v god_n their_o enemy_n so_o then_o every_o man_n will_v give_v himself_o over_o to_o all_o kind_n of_o lewdness_n &_o by_o that_o mean_a the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v contemn_v &_o no_o account_n make_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o prophet_n for_o the_o awake_n of_o we_o &_o for_o the_o

have_v purchase_v for_o we_o because_o the_o one_o sort_n of_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a and_o have_v work_n and_o merit_v able_a to_o answer_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o we_o see_v these_o popish_a hypocrite_n who_o do_v not_o only_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v discharge_v before_o god_n but_o do_v also_o sell_v some_o part_n of_o their_o merit_n as_o if_o they_o

in_o a_o angelic_a estate_n now_o these_o man_n think_v that_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o they_o will_v partly_o confess_v that_o they_o

they_o will_v have_v other_o to_o settle_v themselves_o and_o trust_v upon_o such_o profanation_n moreover_o forsomuch_o as_o there_o be_v in_o popery_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n hypocrite_n they_o be_v even_o so_o many_o horn_n or_o power_n set_v up_o against_o god_n for_o this_o pride_n be_v always_o in_o they_o to_o say_v what_o good_a sir_n i_o beseech_v you_o if_o i_o deserve_v not_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o i_o to_o have_v so_o many_o good_a devotion_n to_o cause_v so_o many_o mass_n to_o be_v soonge_o to_o have_v chant_v so_o much_o to_o have_v run_v so_o many_o time_n

judgement_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v find_v guilty_a before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n we_o see_v here_o then_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n howbeit_o he_o be_v not_o for_o all_o that_o thus_o content_v but_o say_v that_o every_o man_n be_v decline_v from_o his_o way_n but_o why_o repeat_v he_o the_o say_n of_o all_o to_o
want_v of_o ability_n to_o say_v any_o thing_n for_o our_o excuse_n yet_o will_v he_o defend_v we_o and_o god_n will_v also_o adjudge_v we_o for_o innocent_n because_o our_o sin_n be_v thus_o repair_v thus_o we_o see_v at_o what_o end_n we_o must_v begin_v and_o then_o shall_v we_o have_v great_a courage_n and_o be_v much_o better_o dispose_v to_o keep_v our_o tongue_n whenas_o we_o shall_v be_v

much_o &_o of_o iudgemet_fw-la there_o be_v some_o which_o expound_v it_o as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o some_o sudden_a violence_n but_o we_o be_v rather_o tell_v that_o death_n overcome_v he_o not_o but_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n his_o father_n now_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o understande_v that_o our_o

if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o speak_v of_o but_o of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v always_o stand_v in_o doubt_n for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o we_o shall_v hope_v for_o life_n at_o his_o hand_n see_v he_o himself_o be_v headlong_o cast_v down_o into_o death_n sure_o we_o shall_v never_o perceive_v any_o divine_a nor_o heavenly_a

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

have_v to_o consider_v of_o for_o this_o point_n now_o it_o be_v say_v for_o a_o final_a conclusion_n that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n the_o word_n which_o the_o

it_o shall_v be_v a_o will_n proceed_v of_o love_n as_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o fatherly_a affection_n for_o moses_n execute_v the_o will_n of_o god_n when_o he_o publish_v the_o law_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o every_o man_n be_v afeard_a at_o the_o thunder_n &_o lightning_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o threaten_n of_o death_n and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o because_o the_o law_n

wonderful_o afeard_a howbeit_o there_o appear_v a_o other_o manner_n of_o will_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n &_o that_o be_v this_o his_o meaning_n be_v to_o receive_v we_o unto_o himself_o &_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o to_o abolish_v our_o sin_n &_o to_o discharge_v we_o of_o the_o condemnation_n wherein_o we_o be_v thus_o we_o see_v the_o property_n of_o the_o speech_n which_o the_o

yet_o will_v god_n by_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n overcome_v it_o all_o to_o be_v short_a the_o prophet_n his_o meaning_n here_o in_o this_o place_n be_v that_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o

that_o the_o devil_n may_v very_o well_o devise_v all_o the_o mischief_n he_o can_v possible_o and_o bend_v all_o his_o force_n to_o overthrow_v the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o be_v as_o be_v

into_o heaven_n now_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o know_v the_o history_n but_o we_o be_v also_o to_o note_v that_o he_o set_v down_o this_o as_o a_o chief_a article_n of_o our_o

the_o ascension_n of_o our_o lord_n without_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n and_o therefore_o saint_n luke_n say_v that_o the_o apostle_n see_v he_o ascend_v and_o say_v beside_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 see_v it_o for_o since_o the_o apostle_n see_v it_o 20.29_o john_n 20.29_o and_o tell_v we_o of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o any_o whit_n to_o doubt_v thereof_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o word_n of_o s._n luke_n that_o a_o cloud_n receive_v he_o up_o out_o of_o their_o sight_n now_o here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o the_o heaven_n open_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n may_v have_v see_v the_o glorious_a estate_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o they_o shall_v loose_v the_o sight_n of_o he_o by_o mean_a of_o a_o cloud_n because_o our_o

have_v see_v into_o heaven_n we_o will_v have_v take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o have_v grow_v haughty_a as_o we_o see_v in_o deed_n we_o be_v thereto_o overmuch_o give_v for_o we_o be_v too_o too_o

that_o this_o cloud_n shall_v be_v between_o they_o and_o he_o by_o this_o than_o we_o be_v let_v to_o understande_v that_o we_o must_v be_v humble_v and_o not_o be_v so_o arrogant_a as_o to_o ascend_v up_o into_o the_o heaven_n to_o search_v after_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o instruction_n be_v we_o to_o learn_v by_o this_o place_n now_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o appear_v two_o angel_n but_o saint_n luke_n call_v they_o man_n according_a to_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o because_o angel_n be_v natural_o spiritual_a we_o can_v see_v they_o except_o they_o show_v themselves_o in_o some_o visible_a shape_n we_o see_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o our_o lord_n will_v from_o the_o beginning_n have_v they_o appear_v in_o man_n shape_n 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 never_o do_v they_o that_o honour_n which_o unto_o they_o appertein_v which_o will_v derogate_v from_o the_o give_a credit_n unto_o their_o message_n and_o therefore_o god_n always_o set_v a_o mark_n on_o they_o that_o we_o may_v know_v they_o for_o behold_v why_o it_o be_v here_o say_v 20.12_o john_n 20.12_o that_o they_o be_v clad_v in_o white_a apparel_n and_o in_o the_o resurrection_n also_o of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o appear_v in_o white_a garment_n herein_o than_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v to_o declare_v that_o we_o shall_v reverent_o receive_v they_o and_o undoubted_o credit_n their_o message_n thus_o i_o say_v we_o see_v why_o s._n luke_n here_o say_v that_o they_o be_v apparel_v in_o white_a garment_n now_o we_o be_v here_o to_o note_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o matter_n for_o god_n will_v not_o have_v any_o one_o of_o they_o to_o be_v lose_v nor_o yet_o overslipt_v such_o be_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n over_o all_o the_o world_n if_o the_o

his_o glorious_a majesty_n be_v not_o only_o as_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o far_o excel_v the_o brightness_n of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o sun_n if_o they_o shoane_v here_o all_o at_o once_o in_o the_o world_n so_o then_o whenas_o we_o see_v that_o the_o angel_n shall_v be_v so_o precious_a unto_o we_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v so_o wonderful_o reverence_v they_o we_o must_v

ourselves_o to_o be_v no_o body_n in_o respect_n of_o he_o who_o be_v majesty_n itself_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o speak_n of_o the_o majesty_n of_o angel_n although_o they_o appear_v but_o in_o man_n shape_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o their_o speech_n you_o man_n of_o galilee_n say_v they_o why_o stand_v you_o gaze_v up_o into_o heaven_n it_o be_v common_o

because_o they_o be_v ashamed_a that_o any_o other_o shall_v see_v they_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v that_o man_n be_v more_o shamefast_a at_o those_o day_n than_o they_o be_v in_o these_o because_o at_o that_o time_n they_o love_v to_o do_v it_o in_o the_o night_n season_n &_o now_o they_o make_v no_o reckon_n to_o be_v drink_v at_o noon_n day_n and_o then_o forsooth_o they_o must_v needs_o

and_o you_o shall_v many_o time_n see_v they_o sleep_v at_o a_o sermon_n in_o the_o morning_n whenas_o a_o man_n will_v think_v they_o have_v neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v but_o herein_o they_o show_v

of_o god_n and_o publish_v the_o gospel_n according_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v grant_v they_o the_o mean_a and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o god_n wrought_v wonderful_o and_o that_o the_o

great_o wonder_v at_o the_o matter_n why_o do_v s._n peter_n then_o attribute_v it_o to_o all_o those_o that_o jest_v thereat_o forsooth_o he_o do_v it_o to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n that_o by_o the_o reprove_v of_o this_o their_o fault_n he_o mean_v too_o do_v good_a too_o all_o the_o company_n and_o by_o that_o occasion_n confirm_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o such_o

piecemeal_o lay_v open_a nevertheless_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o man_n sometime_o shall_v somewhat_o be_v narrow_o press_v and_o find_v fault_n with_o as_o it_o be_v by_o name_n and_o to_o be_v remember_v and_o point_a at_o with_o the_o finger_n for_o their_o offence_n because_o they_o will_v then_o be_v more_o ashamed_a then_o if_o they_o be_v general_o reproove_v howbeit_o it_o be_v a_o

they_o although_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o guilty_a of_o the_o vice_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o yet_o be_v there_o some_o innocent_a thereof_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v hear_v they_o murmur_v say_v why_o cry_v he_o out_o thus_o against_o all_o man_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o must_v he_o therefore_o reprove_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o speak_v it_o so_o general_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o all_o of_o we_o continual_o murmur_v against_o doctrine_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o although_o there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a few_o which_o make_v a_o jest_n at_o this_o miracle_n here_o speak_v of_o yet_o s._n peter_n deliver_v his_o speech_n unto_o all_o man_n when_o he_o say_v all_o you_o that_o dwell_v in_o jerusalem_n be_v this_o know_v unto_o you_o that_o these_o be_v not_o

shall_v be_v more_o narrow_o look_v into_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v be_v find_v guilty_a of_o a_o thousand_o other_o as_o great_a let_v we_o now_o see_v what_o saint_n peter_n mean_v by_o the_o make_n of_o this_o sermon_n forsooth_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o bring_v the_o people_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o end_n why_o the_o tongue_n be_v

impossible_a to_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v throughout_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o saint_n peter_n say_v if_o you_o remember_v the_o pprophecy_n of_o the_o prophet_n joel_n the_o

he_o now_o if_o we_o thorough_o consider_v of_o this_o without_o doubt_n we_o will_v keep_v so_o good_a a_o hand_n of_o ourselves_o as_o that_o all_o the_o fleshly_a lust_n and_o temptation_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prevail_v against_o us._n saint_n paul_n also_o mean_v to_o make_v a_o comparison_n betwixt_o the_o first_o come_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o second_o why_o then_o do_v the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a contemner_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o bold_o lift_v up_o themselves_o as_o that_o they_o become_v dissolute_a and_o stark_o stare_v mad_a sure_o it_o be_v because_o they_o hear_v that_o while_n jesus_n christ_n be_v here_o on_o earth_n he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o state_n of_o a_o servant_n 2.7_o phil._n 2.7_o yea_o and_o abase_v

jesus_n christ_n they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o speak_v thus_o wicked_o and_o furious_o of_o he_o as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v even_o so_o howbeit_o they_o see_v not_o that_o as_o he_o suffer_v as_o he_o be_v man_n that_o he_o likewise_o rise_v again_o through_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n for_o he_o then_o in_o such_o sort_n show_v forth_o his_o glory_n as_o that_o both_o great_a and_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n let_v they_o give_v ear_n to_o that_o which_o be_v here_o speak_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v come_v in_o glory_n for_o in_o his_o first_o come_n he_o appear_v contemptible_a because_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o obedient_a in_o our_o behalf_n for_o that_o he_o be_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o at_o his_o second_o come_n he_o will_v

he_o not_o questionless_a come_v in_o such_o humble_a sort_n but_o will_v come_v with_o his_o angel_n in_o glory_n and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n which_o saint_n paul_n will_v have_v we_o note_v to_o the_o end_n the_o wicked_a and_o faithless_a may_v not_o take_v occasion_n to_o contemn_v this_o his_o last_o come_n under_o colour_n the_o jesus_n christ_n once_o appear_v as_o he_o be_v man_n like_v unto_o we_o and_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o a_o worm_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o as_o isaiah_n say_v he_o be_v disfigure_v from_o top_n to_o toe_n all_o to_o wound_v and_o that_o for_o our_o redemption_n for_o since_o he_o accomplish_v that_o which_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v show_v

all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n earth_n and_o hell_n shall_v bow_v unto_o he_o that_o every_o thing_n shall_v tremble_v at_o his_o excellent_a majesty_n which_o also_o the_o despiser_n of_o his_o gospel_n shall_v well_o know_v to_o their_o pain_n though_o late_o first_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n his_o pretence_n be_v when_o he_o say_v that_o his_o come_n shall_v be_v fearful_a let_v we_o also_o eftsoon_o mark_v that_o which_o follow_v that_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o appear_v marvellous_a and_o to_o be_v glorify_v in_o his_o saint_n now_o it_o be_v not_o for_o

at_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o why_o so_o because_o say_v he_o he_o will_v be_v glorify_v and_o make_v wonderful_a in_o his_o saint_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v that_o the_o mention_n which_o he_o before_o make_v of_o the_o flamb_v fire_n and_o of_o the_o horror_n and_o fear_n be_v not_o to_o discourage_v the_o faithful_a one_o as_o though_o they_o desire_v not_o

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

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

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

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

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

not_o ignorant_a of_o this_o point_n of_o the_o law_n which_o say_v that_o whosoever_o shed_v man_n blood_n his_o blood_n shall_v be_v shed_v again_o and_o therefore_o saint_n peter_n be_v to_o have_v

whence_o then_o shall_v he_o fetch_v any_o allowance_n of_o this_o his_o rash_a deal_n wherefore_o we_o have_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o observe_v that_o which_o we_o have_v already_o speak_v to_o wit_n that_o if_o we_o fetch_v our_o zeal_n from_o man_n &_o be_v flatter_v &_o well_o like_v off_o yet_o will_v god_n condemn_v we_o if_o we_o transgress_v his_o commandment_n never_o so_o

history_n which_o we_o be_v now_o in_o hand_n with_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v much_o more_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o for_o the_o matter_n which_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v be_v general_a

a_o heavenly_a army_n i_o be_o able_a to_o have_v and_o yet_o be_o i_o content_v to_o put_v all_o this_o quiet_o up_o why_o then_o come_v thou_o to_o take_v upon_o thou_o here_o more_o than_o god_n will_v have_v thou_o to_o do_v or_o can_v abide_v thou_o shall_v do_v now_o it_o be_v very_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o beseech_v he_o to_o defend_v our_o life_n and_o as_o he_o account_v it_o to_o be_v precious_a even_o so_o must_v we_o desire_v he_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o also_o to_o keep_v and_o preserve_v it_o but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o will_v nor_o ought_v not_o now_o to_o do_v it_o and_o wherefore_o then_o will_v peter_n use_v violence_n contrary_a to_o that_o order_n which_o god_n have_v permit_v and_o establish_v by_o

&_o vanity_n &_o that_o god_n know_v all_o thing_n &_o from_o who_o no_o secret_n be_v hide_v yea_o and_o his_o will_n to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o beside_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 have_v we_o three_o dam_n of_o wit_n it_o be_v there_o before_o no_o marvel_n though_o man_n grow_v wild_a and_o savage_a when_o god_n rule_v they_o not_o as_o they_o will_v themselves_o and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o because_o we_o be_v very_a ydiot_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n so_o long_o as_o our_o wit_n and_o reason_n bear_v any_o rule_n it_o be_v even_o very_a beastly_a wherefore_o because_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o bottomless_a depth_n of_o god_n judgement_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o honour_n that_o which_o be_v keep_v secret_a from_o we_o let_v we_o i_o say_v humble_o &_o reverent_o

be_v now_o subject_a be_v but_o a_o warn_n unto_o we_o of_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n for_o if_o we_o be_v clear_o exempt_a from_o death_n we_o shall_v then_o never_o know_v the_o grace_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o also_o know_v what_o need_n we_o have_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o that_o god_n make_v we_o always_o to_o feel_v his_o wrath_n for_o although_o we_o be_v altogether_o exempt_a thereof_o yet_o ought_v we_o to_o think_v still_o of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v groan_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o magnify_v

plaster_n and_o how_o be_v that_o forsooth_o because_o we_o shall_v understande_v that_o god_n will_v not_o become_v a_o severe_a judge_n unto_o we_o &_o pour_v out_o his_o vengeance_n upon_o we_o when_o as_o we_o bring_v jesus_n christ_n with_o we_o to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o us._n and_o therefore_o death_n have_v not_o take_v such_o fearful_a hold_n on_o we_o as_o to_o confound_v we_o and_o bring_v we_o to_o despair_v 10.28_o joh._n 6.39_o &_o 10.28_o but_o do_v come_v free_o to_o put_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o as_o it_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n commend_v his_o soul_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v to_o make_v he_o gardaine_v of_o our_o soul_n and_o therefore_o may_v we_o commend_v they_o most_o assure_o into_o his_o hand_n because_o he_o have_v say_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v give_v to_o he_o to_o keep_v shall_v never_o perish_v thus_o than_o we_o see_v to_o what_o end_n this_o anguish_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n serve_v and_o that_o over_o and_o beside_o he_o abode_n death_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o torment_n yet_o have_v he_o also_o this_o terror_n of_o the_o feel_v of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o judge_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n now_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o this_o be_v any_o whit_n derogatory_n from_o his_o

desirous_a of_o he_o yet_o be_v this_o his_o light_a estimation_n of_o he_o to_o exalte_n he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o and_o in_o deed_n although_o god_n show_v his_o highness_n and_o infinite_a majesty_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o have_v we_o a_o far_o more_o large_a cause_n to_o glorify_v god_n in_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o jesus_n christ_n abase_v and_o humble_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o although_o he_o be_v not_o rob_v of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n yet_o lie_v it_o hyd_fw-we for_o a_o time_n and_o be_v never_o perceive_v by_o any_o man_n and_o this_o be_v in_o sum_n that_o which_o the_o prophet_n here_o handle_v as_o concern_v the_o pain_n and_o grief_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n now_o we_o see_v herein_o that_o he_o forget_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v and_o never_o care_v for_o himself_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v altogether_o give_v to_o save_v we_o and_o so_o answer_v for_o we_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o be_v our_o only_a pledge_n and_o in_o this_o we_o see_v that_o the_o very_a cur_n who_o will_v at_o this_o day_n abolish_v this_o doctrine_n have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o religion_n in_o they_o but_o bark_n at_o it_o like_o mastiff_n they_o know_v not_o why_o nor_o wherefore_o and_o although_o our_o popish_a hypocrite_n who_o

occupy_v that_o place_n and_o yet_o make_v a_o swine_n sty_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v like_o dog_n without_o all_o religion_n and_o go_v about_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o deface_v and_o

they_o forward_o as_o to_o become_v like_o shameless_a whore_n we_o ought_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o consider_v of_o this_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o condemn_v of_o pilot_n be_v a_o earthly_a judge_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v pardon_v before_o god_n his_o father_n and_o not_o only_o crucify_v that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o curse_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o suffer_v death_n that_o we_o may_v be_v free_v from_o it_o but_o also_o that_o we_o at_o this_o day_n may_v have_v peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o be_v glad_a in_o that_o we_o feel_v the_o fatherly_a love_n of_o our_o god_n and_o so_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o open_a mouth_n be_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o he_o and_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v plunge_v in_o these_o horror_n which_o he_o feel_v it_o be_v also_o meet_a that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o immaculate_a lamb_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o a_o wretched_a malefactor_n and_o that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o mirror_n &_o pattern_n of_o all_o holiness_n &_o perfection_n shall_v answer_v for_o we_o and_o become_v our_o borrow_n even_o to_o that_o very_a pinch_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v condemn_v unto_o the_o bottomless_a

the_o meaning_n of_o isaiah_n be_v when_o he_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v see_v travel_n &_o grief_n in_o his_o soul_n howbeit_o we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v notwithstanding_o well_o content_v and_o full_o satisfy_v therewith_o always_o provide_v that_o we_o may_v be_v redeem_v by_o that_o mean_a and_o therefore_o we_o may_v at_o this_o day_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o bold_a know_v that_o if_o we_o have_v a_o true_a obedience_n of_o faith_n whereby_o to_o receive_v the_o inestimable_a benefit_n which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v obtain_v for_o we_o we_o may_v feel_v that_o he_o suffer_v not_o all_o these_o torment_n for_o we_o in_o vain_a wherefore_o our_o unthankfulness_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o inexcusable_a when_o as_o we_o come_v not_o unto_o he_o with_o such_o a_o earnest_a zeal_n to_o enjoy_v this_o inestimable_a benefit_n whereinto_o he_o be_v enter_v and_o whereof_o he_o have_v in_o our_o behalf_n take_v possession_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n his_o father_n who_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v we_o as_o his_o child_n thus_o we_o see_v in_o sum_n what_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v of_o in_o this_o place_n now_o the_o prophet_n go_v on_o far_a and_o say_v that_o by_o his_o knowledge_n my_o righteous_a servant_n shall_v justify_v many_o as_o for_o this_o word_n
servant_n we_o have_v before_o see_v that_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n derogatory_n from_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o although_o he_o be_v lord_n over_o all_o creature_n yet_o obtain_v he_o a_o new_a government_n in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o in_o our_o nature_n according_a to_o that_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o philippian_n and_o as_o we_o have_v also_o see_v partly_o heretofore_o 2.9_o phil._n 2.9_o for_o it_o be_v his_o meaning_n to_o become_v a_o servant_n and_o to_o humble_v himself_o under_o that_o state_n and_o condition_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n now_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n unto_o we_o but_o this_o shall_v be_v much_o more_o strange_a unto_o we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n 17.9_o john_n 17.9_o and_o coequal_a with_o god_n his_o father_n in_o glory_n shall_v become_v a_o servant_n to_o man_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n after_o saint_n john_n and_o so_o abase_v himself_o under_o this_o condition_n 20.28_o mat._n 20.28_o as_o that_o he_o will_v serve_v we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v so_o in_o deed_n mark_v also_o why_o he_o say_v i_o be_v conversaunt_a among_o you_o as_o a_o servant_n and_o not_o as_o a_o master_n now_o since_o it_o be_v so_o that_o jesus_n christ_n become_v so_o humble_a as_o to_o make_v himself_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o then_o that_o he_o be_v here_o call_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o have_v redeem_v us._n i_o speak_v now_o in_o respect_n that_o god_n his_o father_n have_v so_o decree_v it_o as_o we_o have_v already_o heretofore_o say_v for_o i_o know_v that_o god_n can_v if_o it_o have_v please_v he_o have_v save_v we_o without_o any_o mean_a but_o we_o be_v always_o to_o presuppose_v that_o it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n which_o must_v purchase_v life_n for_o us._n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o bring_n of_o this_o matter_n to_o pass_v it_o be_v eftsoon_o meet_a that_o he_o shall_v become_v a_o servant_n because_o he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o have_v yield_v his_o obedience_n unto_o god_n his_o father_n and_o without_o this_o obedience_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o have_v repair_v our_o transgression_n and_o iniquity_n thus_o than_o we_o see_v why_o he_o be_v call_v a_o righteous_a servant_n to_o be_v short_a the_o prophet_n do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o because_o we_o be_v and_o yet_o be_v rebel_n to_o god_n until_o such_o time_n as_o he_o have_v reform_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o again_o although_o after_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o touch_n of_o a_o good_a mind_n yet_o be_v we_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o trip_v and_o stumble_v every_o hand_n while_n and_o beside_o when_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o the_o service_n which_o we_o do_v he_o shall_v be_v well_o accept_v of_o he_o yet_o may_v it_o be_v very_o well_o amend_v yea_o &_o worthy_a to_o be_v reject_v and_o therefore_o for_o the_o blot_n out_o of_o our_o offence_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o the_o service_n and_o obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v please_v god_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v also_o carry_v with_o it_o a_o right_n and_o full_a satisfaction_n this_o then_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o meaning_n and_o hereupon_o we_o be_v to_o gather_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o only_o justify_v we_o in_o that_o he_o be_v god_n but_o through_o the_o power_n of_o his_o obedience_n in_o that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o therein_o will_v accomplish_v and_o fulfil_v the_o law_n which_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o do_v because_o it_o be_v such_o a_o burden_n as_o will_v have_v press_v we_o all_o down_o and_o have_v break_v our_o neck_n forsomuch_o then_o as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n forsake_v himself_o for_o our_o salvation_n and_o become_v obedient_a unto_o god_n his_o father_n we_o see_v in_o what_o sort_n he_o have_v justify_v us._n now_o he_o speak_v also_o namely_o of_o his_o knowledge_n mean_v thereby_o to_o express_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n perform_v in_o his_o own_o person_n all_o whatsoever_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n but_o that_o we_o also_o shall_v take_v fast_o hold_v thereof_o by_o faith_n and_o therefore_o knowledge_n be_v very_o requisite_a for_o how_o many_o incredulous_a or_o unbeléeving_a person_n do_v we_o see_v perish_v unto_o who_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n serve_v to_o none_o other_o purpose_n save_v only_o for_o their_o great_a condemnation_n because_o they_o tread_v his_o most_o

it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o our_o salvation_n must_v come_v from_o thence_o for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n this_o be_v not_o to_o

shall_v accept_v us._n and_o why_o so_o forsooth_o because_o he_o be_v to_o allow_v of_o the_o good_a since_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n thereof_o for_o else_o he_o shall_v deny_v himself_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v frame_v our_o life_n to_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o he_o require_v we_o shall_v then_o without_o doubt_n be_v justify_v by_o our_o work_v and_o jesus_n christ_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v shall_v profit_v we_o nothing_o 5.4_o collos_n 5.4_o but_o contrariwise_o when_o we_o be_v drive_v to_o borrow_v our_o righteousness_n
