now_o stand_v which_o he_o can_v not_o better_o do_v than_o in_o set_v before_o we_o the_o declaration_n of_o his_o law_n what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o also_o what_o we_o be_v as_o the_o colour_n of_o black_a be_v never_o better_o set_v forth_o than_o when_o white_a be_v set_v by_o it_o 3._o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n begin_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n wherein_o we_o may_v see_v what_o we_o do_v owe_v and_o what_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o pay_v and_o consequent_o how_o near_o we_o be_v to_o our_o condemnation_n if_o there_o be_v no_o otherwise_o find_v some_o remedy_n and_o also_o the_o invinsible_a dulness_n which_o always_o have_v reign_v in_o the_o world_n and_o reign_v yet_o more_o than_o ever_o it_o do_v declare_v sufficient_o how_o necessary_a it_o

thus_o far_o blind_v that_o not_o only_o they_o search_v their_o salvation_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o condemn_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o their_o work_n either_o partly_o or_o all_o

innumerable_a sin_n for_o to_o displease_v we_o and_o make_v we_o sorry_a and_o to_o humble_a and_o throw_v down_o ourselves_o to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o also_o to_o kindle_v in_o we_o the_o first_o

which_o have_v faithful_o write_v and_o register_v it_o d_o that_o we_o may_v avoid_v the_o suttilty_n and_o craft_n of_o satan_n which_o will_v more_o easy_o be_v not_o the_o gospel_n spread_v

have_v always_o love_v darkness_n better_a than_o light_n and_o where_o we_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n and_o euangelyste_n have_v faithful_o write_v and_o register_v all_o the_o evangelicall_a doctrine_n we_o do_v understand_v three_o point_n the_o first_o that_o they_o have_v not_o add_v or_o put_v to_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v give_v they_o in_o charge_n concern_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o doctrine_n 3._o for_o christ_n say_v to_o they_o go_v you_o and_o preach_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v 28._o command_v you_o and_o as_o sainte_n paul_n protest_v in_o write_v to_o the_o 1●_n corinthian_n the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o have_v omit_v nor_o leave_v out_o nothing_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n for_o than_o have_v they_o be_v unfaythfull_a in_o their_o charge_n and_o office_n the_o which_o can_v not_o be_v and_o also_o we_o see_v what_o s._n paul_n and_o s._n peter_n b._n d._n witness_v according_a to_o jesus_n chryste_n word_n and_o s._n augustine_n plain_o declare_v and_o say_v true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v many_o thing_n the_o which_o be_v not_o all_o write_v for_o the_o evangelist_n 15._o testify_v that_o jesus_n chryste_n have_v ▪_o say_v and_o do_v many_o thing_n the_o which_o be_v not_o all_o write_v but_o they_o have_v write_v those_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v write_v and_o which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o belover_n the_o three_o point_n be_v that_o that_o which_o they_o have_v write_v be_v so_o plain_o write_v that_o the_o most_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a of_o all_o the_o world_n if_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o in_o themselves_o may_v learn_v what_o be_v necessary_a to_o their_o salvation_n 1._o for_o else_o wherefore_o be_v the_o gospel_n write_v in_o a_o language_n that_o all_o may_v understand_v 14._o it_o and_o also_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n of_o speak_v which_o be_v most_o familiar_a and_o acquaint_v among_o the_o people_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v choose_v 2._o therefore_o say_v s._n paul_n that_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v hide_v to_o those_o which_o perish_v who_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v their_o sense_n and_o understanding_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o unbeléever_n 4._o and_o certain_o the_o experience_n have_v declare_v always_o that_o god_n have_v not_o call_v the_o most_o wise_a and_o of_o great_a knowledge_n but_o the_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a of_o the_o world_n 1._o much_o less_o will_v he_o hide_v it_o or_o so_o darken_v his_o doctrine_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v understande_v of_o all_o man_n whereof_o we_o gather_v two_o conclusion_n to_o this_o purpose_n the_o first_o that_o nothing_o be_v gospel_n which_o man_n have_v add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n write_v or_o dyminysh_v from_o it_o but_o all_o be_v mere_a superstition_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o true_a and_o only_a gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n 15._o as_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v and_o saint_n hierome_n write_v of_o this_o matter_n y_o ●_o say_v he_o which_o be_v speak_v without_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v easy_o confute_v and_o to_o be_v reject_v and_o disperse_v ▪_o v._n the_o second_a conclusion_n be_v that_o those_o which_o say_v that_o it_o appertain_v not_o but_o to_o certain_a person●_n to_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n will_v not_o have_v it_o translate_v into_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n for_o fear_v that_o simple_a woman_n &_o other_o people_n shall_v read_v it_o 14._o those_o be_v the_o ▪_o very_o right_a
