of_o the_o law_n conversion_n think_v to_o be_v righteous_a and_o feel_v it_o not_o sin_n any_o whit_n reign_v in_o he_o until_o that_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n have_v illuminate_v he_o &_o make_v

such_o as_o be_v murder_n whordome_n theft_n we_o glory_n that_o we_o be_v perfect_a and_o innocent_a but_o when_o our_o conscience_n come_v to_o be_v descry_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o that_o

which_o be_v hide_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o be_v the_o serpent_n in_o their_o hole_n 7._o s._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o never_o understand_v that_o concupiscence_n be_v a_o vice_n until_o he_o have_v

who_o in_o the_o law_n will_v make_v we_o true_o to_o know_v both_o god_n and_o ourselves_o even_o as_o the_o sun_n shine_v by_o his_o brightness_n make_v we_o to_o see_v itself_o and_o all_o thing_n

they_o be_v discover_v and_o show_v themselves_o even_o so_o likewise_o during_o the_o time_n that_o we_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o darkness_n of_o ignorance_n the_o vice_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o

notwithstanding_o they_o make_v no_o account_n of_o they_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v the_o great_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n as_o a_o man_n may_v see_v by_o those_o

christ_n to_o wit_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o we_o can_v attain_v it_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o a_o mortal_a body_n which_o be_v so_o gross_a and_o so_o slavish_a and_o which_o fight_v without_o cease_v against_o the_o spirit_n when_o it_o will_v lift_v up_o itself_o into_o any_o heavenly_a meditation_n moreover_o have_v such_o a_o heap_n of_o darkness_n and_o false_a opinion_n in_o our_o sense_n and_o understanding_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o ever_o we_o shall_v have_v any_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o god_n what_o diligence_n pain_n or_o travel_v so_o ever_o we_o take_v to_o get_v it_o have_v in_o like_a manner_n a_o heart_n entangle_v with_o so_o great_a passion_n and_o lust_n which_o drive_v we_o hither_o and_o thither_o to_o all_o vain_a affection_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o by_o reason_n hereof_o we_o can_v not_o love_n god_n perfect_o and_o so_o consequent_o have_v any_o perfect_a confidence_n in_o he_o because_o confidence_n follow_v love_n even_o like_a as_o love_n follow_v knowledge_n the_o knowledge_n therefore_o and_o confidence_n that_o we_o have_v of_o god_n be_v imperfect_a which_o be_v the_o two_o part_n of_o faith_n it_o follow_v hereof_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v perfect_a &_o that_o we_o have_v need_v continual_o to_o beg_v at_o god_n hand_n that_o he_o will_v augment_v it_o in_o we_o and_o day_n by_o day_n stir_v we_o up_o in_o the_o meditation_n of_o his_o promise_n which_o be_v the_o true_a mean_a to_o nourrish_a increase_n and_o augment_v faith._n and_o whereto_o serve_v exhortation_n prayer_n sacrament_n and_o such_o other_o exercise_n if_o our_o faith_n can_v be_v perfect_a here_o see_v that_o all_o these_o be_v not_o ordain_v &_o foster_v in_o the_o church_n to_o any_o other_o purpose_n then_o to_o fortify_v and_o increase_v the_o knowledge_n zeal_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o faithful_a now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n vice_n see_v that_o our_o faith_n be_v never_o perfect_a in_o this_o world_n but_o be_v always_o mingle_v with_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o infirmity_n which_o always_o remain_v in_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o be_v none_o can_v say_v his_o heart_n be_v clean_o from_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o we_o have_v need_n in_o respect_n of_o this_o to_o beg_v of_o god_n in_o our_o prayer_n that_o he_o will_v pardon_v we_o our_o offence_n and_o make_v the_o confession_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o say_v i_o believe_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o that_o as_o yet_o our_o faith_n be_v very_o weak_a &_o defile_v with_o many_o imperfection_n nevertheless_o it_o cease_v not_o to_o lay_v hold_v upon_o that_o that_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o bestow_v upon_o it_o no_o otherwise_o for_o example_n sake_n they_o as_o a_o little_a child_n who_o with_o his_o little_a hand_n faith._n or_o a_o poor_a man_n with_o his_o rugged_a and_o scabby_a hand_n refuse_v not_o to_o take_v bread_n and_o other_o alm_n that_o a_o man_n will_v bestow_v upon_o they_o aswell_o as_o if_o they_o be_v great_a and_o whole_a altogether_o like_a as_o disease_n that_o be_v universal_a through_o out_o the_o whole_a body_n similitude_n as_o be_v a_o burn_a ague_n though_o they_o weaken_v all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o same_o and_o special_o the_o stomach_n

to_o take_v it_o even_o so_o also_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o far_o of_o that_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o faith_n shall_v keep_v we_o from_o embrace_v righteousness_n and_o the_o other_o benefit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o it_o must_v prepare_v and_o dispose_v we_o to_o the_o contrary_a 35._o according_a to_o which_o jesus_n christ_n say_v to_o the_o pharisee_n who_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a that_o he_o come_v not_o for_o their_o sake_n but_o to_o call_v sinner_n add_v the_o reason_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a have_v need_n of_o the_o physician_n and_o even_o like_a as_o our_o disease_n and_o infirmity_n let_v not_o but_o that_o our_o faith_n be_v it_o never_o so_o weak_a be_v yet_o capable_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n &_o of_o all_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n even_o so_o the_o littleness_n of_o faith_n make_v it_o not_o less_o capable_a to_o be_v able_a to_o apprehend_v and_o embrace_v that_o righteousness_n similitude_n and_o like_o as_o altogether_o the_o apple_n of_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v so_o little_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o can_v apprehend_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v spread_v over_o

utter_o afterwards_o loose_a and_o forgo_v it_o for_o if_o have_v once_o receive_v it_o we_o can_v not_o be_v assure_v to_o keep_v it_o constant_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v always_o be_v in_o doubt_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o if_o we_o be_v once_o persuade_v and_o resolve_v in_o this_o point_n that_o have_v be_v inspire_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n it_o will_v

the_o midst_n of_o all_o tentation_n that_o may_v assail_v we_o wherefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o mark_v and_o diligent_o to_o imprint_v in_o our_o mind_n all_o the_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o which_o god_n have_v assure_v we_o of_o the_o continuance_n and_o perseverance_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n towards_o we_o and_o of_o keep_v we_o in_o the_o
